Game of Show

 

[[Sigma]]

Dope trailer. Definitely on my list.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Easily the best thing they've shown so far.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Glad this is on more platforms.

[tusharngf]

khazan and this game is only thing i loved about game awards

 

[Punished Miku]

This looks amazing.

 

[DaciaJC]

This was the best new game announcement of the show, no question.

 

[Hohenheim]

Without doubt the highlight of the show (along with the old gods of asgard performance!)

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I trust in Moon, this looks like it's gonna be awesome. They seem to have really good taste in games, and their own style to boot.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

I don’t know. Art/gameplay wise. From the video. Look too similar to Trine 3. This is a wait and see for me.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

One of my top 5 games of the show, look forward to seeing more

 

[LordBlodgett]

Looks great. After Ori I'm definitely down to try anything Moon Studios makes!

 

[Bloobs]

Moon studios day one

 

[JusticeForAll]

This looks fantastic. Day 1.

 

[Terenty]

Can you play the whole campaign from start in coop with everybody leveling up and progressing or is more like drop in?

If it's a classic coop campaign from start to finish than it's quite exciting indeed.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Wow!

 

[Icymanipulator]

Local coop?

 

[Banjo64]

Should have said this was Moon’s new game in the title OP. I overlooked this.

 

[Banjo64]

March 1st

Looks amazing. Moon are GOAT tier, no Switch though.

 

[Labadal]

If it is not roguelike, but straight up Diablolike, I'm in.

 

[Robb]

Doesn’t look very interesting imo. I would much rather have had another Ori game.

Ori and the Blind Forest developer wants to 'revolutionize the ARPG genre' with its next game's 'direct and tactile' combat

No Rest for the Wicked will have an "animation-driven, direct, tactile" combat system and a "painterly" world.

www.pcgamer.com

Launching on Steam Early Access early next year, No Rest for the Wicked will carry over Moon Studio's painterly art style into an isometric "mature" world set on an island just after the death of its king and freshly corrupted by a transformative plague. You'll fight beasts and invading armies with the gear you gather using a combat system "where skill and timing is required over simple 'button-mashing.'"

"Fights in the game are animation-driven, direct, and tactile, allowing skilled players to combine visceral strikes and deadly moves," Moon Studios says. Weapons will have unique movesets and there will be enemie and bosses that require careful play.

Rest for the Wicked's island, known as Isola Sacra, will have "verticality that is unmatched in other ARPGs," as well as underground crypts, forests, and mountains. Each area will have characters and secrets to find as you progress through its campaign. In co-op, you'll have every "quest, boss, and square foot of Isola Sacra" open to you, and the press release makes it seem like you can split up within the same shared world at any time.

Player housing will play a role too. In the town of Sacrament, you can buy property to build your home on. You can also fish and farm for meals to replenish your health and increase your stats before you go dungeon diving.

"We have been dreaming of being able to contribute to the ARPG genre that we all grew up with and love. After the success of Ori, it was clear to us that Moon was now mature enough to finally realize those dreams,” said Thomas Mahler, co-founder and creative director at Moon Studios. “We can't wait to see how players will react to this entirely new take on the genre!"

 

[Renoir]

the art style is looking crazy.
dark atmosphere .. cross fingers game play is on point.

 

[Musilla]

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Looks nice, but the name is awkward.

Have you seen the other new game titles presented at TGA?

Usual June
Fantazio: Royal Tournament
The First Berserker: Khazan
Rise of The Ronin
Exodus: Become The Traveler
Zenless Zone Zero
Arknights: Endfield
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
... etc ...

 

[Holammer]

This and Light No Fire might be my top choices.

They really gunning after Supergiant. That looks outstanding.

I think they're out to get Blizzard and show them how it's done.

 

[Exentryk]

Art-style is not doing it for me. But since Ori games are GOTY material, I'll certainly be giving this a go.

A demo would really help.

I did not say that other names were better

And wait Fantazio: Royal Tournament - it has become even longer? Metaphor: Re:Fantazio: Royal Tournament

I think Marvel's Blade sounds really cool. Really sharp.

 

[ungalo]

Finally, a game that looks classy. The studio is getting more ambitious, good.

 

[phant0m]

10/10 art direction

 

[FoxMcChief]

I loved the look of this game. I love the name too. Very fitting.

 

[Fbh]

Looks awesome, game of the show IMO.
Love the art style and the gameplay looks fun.

 

[Fess]

This looks absolutely incredible!
The title needs a ”New game from the creators of Ori” or something so people see it. I’m more blown away by this than just about anything else.

 

[Sorne]

holy fuck this took me by surprise!

At first I saw the name and brushed it off as another "filler" game.. but as soon as I heard Moon Studios is behind, I rushed to watch the trailer and my jaw dropped. Simply beautiful with an amazing score for a trailer. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Shakka43]

Moon Studios sure knows how to make beautiful art.

 

[Little Mac]

This game is a Diablo killer had Diablo not already kill itself.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Not sure if I’ve ever played a game that felt more well designed than Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Super excited about this.

 

[skit_data]

It has a pretty "boring" look and at parts of the trailer I actually found the design outright ugly, which is very suprising considering how beautiful the Ori-games are. Maybe it's something abput transitioning from 2D to 3D. The game isn't finished either of course, but I can't say I find the aesthetic very inspiring.

 

[Hohenheim]

This game is a Diablo killer had Diablo not already kill itself.

Diablo is awesome. And this game looks awesome. I remember the director talked about how the team was inspired by Dark Souls, which of course 8/10 teams these days obviously are, but I think these guys can nail it.
Gonna try to stay clear of the early access version, in order to enjoy this the most when 1.0 arrives.

 

[The Skull]

Day fucking one baby.

 

[solidus12]

 

[AJUMP23]

Like the look of it. Will definitely take a gander when it releases.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is going to be the ultra-giga Chad game. I can feel it. A group of talented developers unafraid to work led by a guy they tried to cancel. Can't wait.
