No Rest for the Wicked: The First Hands-On Preview - IGN

The first hour and a half of No Rest for the Wicked gave me a good sense of what to expect, and it left me wanting more. It's as much Dark Souls as Diablo, and I suspect it’s going to win over a lot of you when it launches into Early Access in the coming weeks.

The next adventure from the developer of Ori and the Blind Forest is a gripping soulslike action-RPG with a survival game twist

After 90 minutes with No Rest for the Wicked, I'm already in love with its enthralling visuals and deeply satisfying combat.

Just watched the showcase and I’m all in. Looks incredible. Will preorder on PS5 when it’s available to do so.

 

[Luipadre]

Looks so good. This and HADES 2 in Q2. Sadly both are EA

 

[Duellist]

Looks awesome! Any news on release date?

 

[Gudji]

I'm not even going to spoil myself just have asmon's stream running on the background so I can get the drops.

april 18 for early access

 

[Holammer]

Pretty sure this will beat Diablo like a red headed stepchild, so I'll avoid previews.

What are drops? How does it work? I don't really watch Twitch, sorry if this is a dumb question.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

early access? lame.

 

[Gudji]

Drops are rewards you can get for a game for instance a piece of armor or some sort of in-game item (usually cosmetic stuff).
It's basically promotion for the game, the developers and/or publishers make deals with streamers so that they stream their games during a specific schedule.

Check this out it has a little faq:

No Rest for the Wicked Twitch Drops | Private Division Store

Watch live streams of No Rest for the Wicked on Twitch during Drops Campaigns to earn in-game rewards.

store.privatedivision.com

Usually it's the same stuff with other games. For instance Helldivers 2 also had a campaign recently where you could get a cosmetic armor, etc.
You just need to have a twitch account and meet the requirements to get the rewards which usually just consists of watching streamers for a couple of minutes/hours and then connect your twitch account with Steam/PSN or other networks where you own the game.

Honestly I also found out about this stuff like last year.

Just received this as I finished reading your post lmao:

Yeah and you can redeem that stuff even if you don't own the game(s). As you can tell the only people playing this game now are streamers and devs.

 

[youzen]

Game looks amazing - I really like the art style/animations.

 

[drotahorror]

Huge showcase dropped

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Some pretty cool stuff here from Moon Studios!

Since OriTheGame was 2.5D it took us about 6 years to create an entirely new full 3D painting-come-to-life rendering pipeline capable of day and night cycles, dynamic weather, volumetrics, fully animated and interactive foliage and an Animal Crossing inspired curved-perspective rendering which allows seeing much further into the horizon.

Genuinely couldn't be more proud with our Artists and Engineers at moongamestudioson wickedgame! Now we just need to do our best to optimize it!

Why Moon Studios Made No Rest For The Wicked Instead Of A Third Ori Game

We spoke to Moon Studios about why its next game is No Rest for the Wicked and not a third Ori game.

[Magic Carpet]

I've been watching these previews today and this game just got wishlisted on Steam. Wow.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm more hyped for this one than stellar blade.

 

[Arsic]

Early access is only one chapter.

I’ll wait for 1.0.

 

[NeonDelta]

Early access is only one chapter.

I’ll wait for 1.0.

That’s disappointing, was looking forward to this later this month

Any idea on price or minimum specs yet?

 

[Bartski]

Early access is only one chapter.

where is this info from? If that's the case I might also put this on hold

 

[GymWolf]

Early access is only one chapter.

I’ll wait for 1.0.

Oh come the fuck on...

I was hoping for at least half game...

 

[Chuck Berry]

This looks awesome. So in.

Diablo with parries

 

[near]

What is the current state of the Early Access version?​

“

• A rich first chapter of the narrative campaign
• Additional quests that reveal more about the world and its inhabitants
• Intense boss battles against plague-ridden creatures
• A large variety of weapons, armor, skills, and crafting options
• Gear can be upgraded, enchanted, runed and gem-ed to create your ideal character build
• Purchasing and furnishing of a modifiable home
• Daily and Weekly bounties and challenges
• Replayable Cerim Crucible dungeon

Found the info on Steams profile page. I'm not going to lie, I'm quite disappointed, I figured it would much further along than one chapter. I think depending on the price, I might just hold off.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Definetly holding off until the game is actually released in a finished state.

It looks cool, a mix of Diablo and Soulslikes sounds cool.

wow, that sucks big time I was also expecting much larger since early access is usually priced close to a full game... No minimum specs either

 

[GymWolf]

This looks awesome. So in.

Diablo with parries

It's more isometric souls buddy, no point and click combat or being showered with loot every 30 sec.

 

[Arsic]

Steam page info that was posted above.

Yeah unless chapter one is like 40 hours on its own or some shit and EA is $15 I can’t imagine I’ll dive in.

 

[near]

Yeah, they're literally building the game along with the community. I thought this would be the type of early access game that just requires refinement. I guess we almost got mugged.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Early access is only one chapter.

I’ll wait for 1.0.

I'm sure more will be added from EA to retail launch which is next year.

 

[Arsic]

I'm sure more will be added from EA to retail launch which is next year.

Or I can just buy it next year when it’s got the content.

EA doesn’t have to be drip feed. It can be a big slice.

BG3 had the first act in EA and added more.

Like I said if EA for chapter one is a 40+ hour slice of game and is under $20, then sure I could see myself trying it out.

But if chapter one is 10 hours and $40? lol… you’re getting robbed for a demo at best. Too much stuff coming out to keep going back for a little nugget more.

EA should be a nice slice, gets me excited and I spend a good chunk with it, then I can wait till 1.0 for the rest of the course.

If you can co-op and grind levels plus the price is right I'll bite.

No MP on launch.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

No MP on launch.

Oh... that's a skip for me.

 

[rm082e]

I am excited about this one, but only for the full game. I'll just wait.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

More cool stuff from the dev:

Seeing all of the little details really come together is one of those very special and magical moments of video game creation.

I love how this cinematic shot from @wickedgame's opening really came to life with beautiful stylized hand crafted hair and facial animation, striking visual effects with fluid simulation, beautiful set, ship sails flapping against the wind animated by our custom made cloth solver, painterly golden rim lighting and all of this running in our custom Moonity engine in real-time.

And of course there's so much more with our story, sound and music for you all to experience! Couldn’t be more proud to work alongside such a world class team at @moongamestudios and stoked to see where our April 18th Early Access launch will go from here!

 

[KyoZz]

I will probably buy and wait for 1.0, just like BG3 because this looks amazing. Can't wait, loved both Ori games too.

 

[KXVXII9X]

More cool stuff from the dev:

Damn, that looks insane! Both this and Unicorn Overlord went insane on the hand painted animations.

 

[Mr Hyde]

This looks awesome. Definitely down for this. After the incredible Ori-games and now No rest for the wicked, it's quite clear that Moon studios is mad talented. I hope they stick the landing with this one.

Agreed, by all accounts this has a chance to turn out great.
