[The_Observer]

Looks pretty cool

 

[Days like these...]

So janky it made me dizzy. Hard pass

 

[drotahorror]

Looks interesting. Combat looks impactful and violent which I like.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Not bad looking. Interested in seeing more.

 

[HRK69]

So many particles

Who started that whole particle effect craze anyway? I first noticed it being heavily used in God of War 2018, and now it's everywhere.

 

[Embearded]

Trailer reminded me Castlevania LoS 2 trailer at some points.
Looks nice but not 70€ nice.
I hope it does well for MercurySteam.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I like that it has dismemberment.

 

[Gonzito]

I like what I see

 

[TintoConCasera]

I see tetas, I buy.

 

[llLeonhart]

Reminds me of Godfall for some reason. I liked Godfall, thus I might give this a go.

 

[darrylgorn]

Looks like they didn't want to take the chance attaching the Castlevania name to this.

 

[TxKnight7]

Where is Los 3 ?

 

[rofif]

generic mobile game looking game

 

[Punished Miku]

Where is Los 3 ?

It was supposed to be Dracula in space in the far future but Konami wouldn't go for it.

 

[Lokaum D+]

for a moment i read Breath of Fire, fuck Capcom

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

sweet!!

God of War with Kingdom of Amalur vibes....sign me up!!

 

[poodaddy]

Could be cool, but we don't know anywhere near enough yet. I'll reserve my excitement, but I'm interested.

 

[SolidQ]

hidden spin off to Blade of Darkness? Same devs

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game has big fucking swords, dismemberment and tits. What else could you need?

Too bad it's an EGS exclusive. Why the fuck did they have to take Tim's money?

Because it's a new IP and Valve does fuck all for them.

 

[ahtlas7]

Looks nice. Camera work is exciting. There is weight to the swings and impact. Hope it turns out fun.

Yeah man, new IPs sure always bomb on Steam, like Elden Ring or Wukong .

The fuck are you talking about man?

 

[John Bilbo]

Could be cool but based on the gameplay snippets it needs severe optimizing.

I think I saw a Game of Thrones reference there.

It's just a straight forward answer. They know Steam exists. They're calculating that everyone will ignore this game and they're better off getting a safer payday. I can't say I blame them. Eternal Strands just bombed on Steam and it was only $40. We don't know the price of this one yet. A whole lot of new IP bomb or don't get noticed at all. They are rolling the dice on a more conservative / safe choice on this one. It's probably up to the publisher.

 

[SolidQ]

it's just literally modern Blade of Darkness from same devs. Also 4 characters

Thanks for the actual answer man, you got me by surprise with the previous one.

Eternal Strands looks kinda shit tho, I'd bet this game would do much better. And many new IPs are succesful even if they are niche, just look at indie hits like Lethal Company or Manor Lords.

And honeslty I wouldn't call going the EGS exclusive route the safest one. Sure they've secured some money, but they might be losing more in the long run.

It's definitely a gamble. All exclusive deals are. I'm in favor of it being everywhere, but I can only guess they wanted something more secure for some reason. If I had to guess, they may have signed this a while ago. Exclusive deals seem to be falling out of favor lately.

505 made the same deal for Control and it worked out for the best.

 

[GymWolf]

I know it doesn't look anything like that but i get slight lords of the fallen 1 mixed with gow 2018 vibes...

 

[Mister Wolf]

I could do without the companion. A little too on the nose with God Of War 2018.

 

[nikos]

Looks like the FOV is set to 30.

 

[Black_Stride]

Was really hoping it wasnt a Soulslike.

 

[Jack Package]

Generic, derivative pish,

 

[StereoVsn]

It's no Blades of Glory!

 

[kittoo]

I like what I am seeing. Plus the price is really cheap so cant go wrong.

 

[ConkerTheSquirrel.]

Unreal Engine 3 game made for current gen?

Looks fun!

 

[BossLackey]

hidden spin off to Blade of Darkness? Same devs

This exactly what came to mind.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

That definitely looks like a video game.

 

[Sentenza]

It doesn't look like one.
Not that differentiating itself is doing it any favor, anyway.

Personally I'm genuinely not vibing with this pseudo-Warcraft type of aesthetic.
I would have done without the cartoony vibes.

 

[Fbh]

Not a fan of the art direction, and the camera seems waaay too close.
Other than that though it looks fun, I like the focus on dismemberment.

I seriously need to switch to PC asap.
It's the equivalent of $24 on the Epic games store.....it's going to be $50 on ps5

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Queen Nerea, eh?

 

[Kacho]

Eternal Strands looks kinda shit tho

Kinda? No need to tip toe around that one lol

 

[TintoConCasera]

Kinda? No need to tip toe around that one lol

If I'm being honest game looks like the Kingdoms of Amalur for the modern audiences. But hey I was trying to be nice.

 

[SALMORE]

Nothing interesting about it to be honest ! looks generic and boring

 

[lughnasadh123]

I'd believe it if someone said this was Godfall 2.

Hopefully.

I was hoping for a Lords of Shadow spiritual successor.

 

[Banjo64]

Hope it comes to Switch 2. After Dread I'll give this a chance.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

No steam release?

 

[MagiusNecros]

No steam release?

Epic Exclusive so probably won't see it on Steam until 2026-2027. And one week before Nightreign? Pffft.
