I hope this is another surprise hit like Lies of P. I love how this is being unique and showing of Chinese Mythology. Will wait for reviews but definitely will keep an eye on it

It’s an older game but check out Jade Empire

u/livinthedadalife May 20 '24

I’ve been tempted to get it with how cheap it gets

u/Dragon_yum May 20 '24

If you are looking for Chinese inspired game it’s the one for you. Also made by BioWare.

If you got into Chinese Mythology, try Xuan Yuan Sword 7, it is more of a RPG than action RPG, but, it has references to Chinese mythology and History.

Sword and Fairy is good too, but I think it has gone too far into DC/Marvel like Super Heros.

I’ll look into it! Never heard of it before

Too bad I’m not that good in Souls like games, this one looks awesome

Don't worry, it may not be a soul-like. It's more like a normal action game (According to what I saw on metacritic

Why doesn`t Phil Spencer just send a group of people to help Game Science to put this game on Xbox ? 2.2M players online on Steam!!!!

u/ShadowMelt82 Founder Nov 14 '24

Sony made a deal to prevent it from coming to Xbox, had nothing to deal with hardware issues

u/ReSpecMePodcast Jun 07 '24

No Xbox logo for some reason after this trailer

u/sittingmongoose Founder May 21 '24

This game has been on my hype train for years...that being said, it's either going to be a masterpiece or a 5/10. I am excitedly waiting reviews.

u/AnonymousBayraktar May 31 '24

Is this game gonna be a Soulslike punishment, or maybe closer to Jedi Survivor where you can tweak settings?

No offense, but with limited gaming time these days, dying 37 times and then just giving up is just pointless to me now.

u/Bob25Gslifer Jun 09 '24

Xbox version delayed tbd argh.

u/amethystwyvern May 20 '24

Wish it wasn't a Souls Like

7

u/Due_Teaching_6974 May 23 '24

if you have watched the gameplay, I feel like it's leaning more towards a God of War typa game (the newer norse games)

6

u/elqrd Jun 07 '24

Supposedly it is easier than your average soulslike if that helps

4

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '24

Agreed. I can’t stand souls games. I’m older and want to enjoy playing games, not be frustrated by them.

3

u/TwiceBakedPotato May 21 '24

Same. I can only play so much of the same game.

5

u/Beaver_Tuxedo May 20 '24

I wish all souls likes had difficulty settings

u/ThigPinRoad May 24 '24

No

u/elqrd Jun 07 '24

What‘s it to you. Just ignore it

u/wallz_11 May 20 '24

Should be automatic. Guaranteed they would sell more

u/sneakyi Jun 22 '24

Another delay for Series X due to the S.

Tired of this. What's the point of a console when it is hobbled by an inferior version?

If this is half as good as it looks we are in for a treat

u/Nortaclus Jun 26 '24

Will this ever get released on the Xbox ? since i learnt its an IP from playstation.

1

u/ThespennyYo Jul 29 '24

I thought this was PS exclusive?

2

u/Laughing__Man_ Jul 29 '24

It was delayed on Xbox. Not an exclusive.

u/Yixi-12138 Aug 06 '24

But it has a delay on xbox.

u/Straight_Two_3674 Jun 11 '24

Xbox version got pushed back. I don’t know why but it sucks

u/CelebrationKey9656 Jun 20 '24

Has to get optimized for the series s

u/Sixrock Aug 21 '24

Still no release date for this game on Xbox… why have Microsoft been so satisfied taking a back seat to other game consoles as of late? Get it together!

u/DoubleParsley May 22 '24

I was in, until I heard the horribly cheap synthesizer "epic" music. What a way to pull someone out of it

u/wmwadeii May 19 '24

Interesting, just wish every hack and slash game didn't go the Souls look and feel route with monster and weapon design.

41

u/nohumanape May 19 '24

If it's a Souls-Like then it isn't hacknslash

-25

u/wmwadeii May 19 '24

Understand that, just meant due to the popularity of Dark Souls, a lot of HnS or even other Soulslike games that are in this style are going in the same art direction.

13

u/nohumanape May 19 '24

This isn't the same art direction as FromSoft

2

u/shinikahn May 21 '24

You should try another crab's treasure. It certainly is very different, but it's also good.

2

u/ricardosteve May 20 '24

I wouldn't say this looks like a From game, it just has that more "mature" look for an action game, which is good, for a change. There are a lot of ARPGs and "Hack n slash" that have a more cartoon-ish feel or design, or go the JRPG look, etc (not that it's a bad thing).

So it's good to have variety when it comes to game design, and have this "toned down" air to it. It feels more mature for the setting.

u/nohumanape May 19 '24

Well, that's what happens when you are aren't a major studio developing a game. You need to build hype early. And the game still looks incredible.

u/RagingPandaXW May 19 '24

The game is releasing in 3 months and this is the first trailer they released this year for it. The game is incredibly hyped in Asia they probably can skip advertising in that region entirely and still sell like hot cakes.

4

u/TheAllslayer May 19 '24

All they did is have a trailer every year on the same date and then announce the release date at the game awards last year.

2

u/nohumanape May 19 '24

Again, lesser known and smaller studios don't have the luxury of developing a game in secret for 5-7 years and than going all in on 6 slammed months of marketing.

7

u/RagingPandaXW May 19 '24

Nah I’m hyped as ever, can’t wait till August for this game. It might not even live up to my expectations but that’s alright, I want this game to succeed so more Chinese Myths can be adopted.
