Let It Die |OT| F2P roguelike Dark Souls with a skateboarding skeleton
- Thread starter Nachos
- Start date
Ok. I was clicking the wrong dooor. I was trying to click the big golden door and not the gated one
What a treat this is, pretty much completely dropping out of nowhere for me. Played to the second elevator and escaped with some handy blueprints and mats. Seems like a surprising amount of depth for a F2P experience. Having fun so far and looking forward to spending more time with it.
I killed two level 27 people when I had yet to level up. I can see it being harder depending on the weapon they are using, but if they are using some slow 2 handed weapon, it's basically a free kill.
Or you can just use those explosive mushrooms.
I was on a second naked character and couldn't do any damage with my fists. Died in 2 hits.

Is this a PvP or PvE game?

Couple hours in, I think it's pretty fantastic so far. I know people find issue with the general clunkiness of Suda51 combat but I enjoy it. It's better than another Arkham clone in terms of combat.

Dunno. Maybe the PS4 PRO support isn't included yet.

Omg wow what a surprise this game is incredible if it was co-op it would be like my dream game.
My initial impressions after half an hour are that it isn't nearly as clunky as I was led to believe. The controls feel relatively tight/responsive, and the framerate is solid. The biggest example of "clunk" I could identify at this point is the hit registration and recovery frames when dodging...dodging feels responsive, but it seems like you can't actually recover fast enough from a dodge to exploit the enemy's missed attack. The enemy has inevitably finished their attack(s) before the roll animation ends, leaving you at a clean combat state for both entities, which defeats the offensive purpose of the dodge roll.
Edit: I should point out that the animations are actually pretty rough in general, so I can see why someone might still conclude that the game is stiff/clunky

Really tempted to download it, but still have to beat FFXV and taking the JLPT tomorrow so uh...
Does it really feel Dark Souls-esque? In terms of how you plod along through the environments and such? Also, does it have any semblance of a story or is it more of a f2p grindfest?

Oh shit. So the crafting is interesting!
See, while yes, it's time gated. In the sense that you must wait time after crafting (ala Warframe), you don't need to recraft something later on. You can simply buy it again from the guy. Although it does look like there is a time thing with also buying stuff...
Luckily what I got thus far only cost 1 min... I don't really see the point of the wait time.

So someone explain death to me (not Uncle Death, actual death in the game).
Specifically, if you die and dont use a continue, what happens to all the gear/loot that character was carrying? I kind of used up all my continues because I didnt want to lose the blueprints I found before getting back to the waiting room.
Pretty good game overall.

Bag items are lost, any gear you were wearing (weapons and armor) is on your Hater and used against other players.
From what I played so far, its like a Dark Souls-lite. The leveling system is very much like Dark Souls, where you spend pts to increase stats, and the costs go higher the higher your level is. Item drops are more frequent, but gear tends to break pretty quickly, and there doesnt seem to be any actual repair mechanic.
So my decision to blow through all my available continues to preserve all the blueprints I found was probably a good call then.
And before anyone asks, I sort of kind of went up a couple of floors without actually leveling my character at all, so ended up in a trap room, surrounded by enemies, and I was still level 1. So yeah, stupid move there. Good news is that I can now make a chest piece, pants, and crossbow.
Thanks, sounds pretty interesting. I'd like to try it when I get a chance, acid trip Dark Souls could really work under the right circumstances.

Yeah, I did the same thing to get a blueprint back to the waiting room. I don't know if stuff you've brought back (coins, LS items, redeemed blueprints, etc) stay after death though. I don't want to find out...
I do wish I knew how to get more ammo, I'm guessing that's also a blueprint? I was gifted a glinty magnum right from the start, and I kinda used it all up already.

Hrm. I am...curious how well this game is going to do. As a F2P game they just kinda...sent out to die I'm not hopeful.

You can learn new attacks (R1 or L1) by leveling up weapons.
Try to keep a good variety of weapons on hand, especially steam irons. Their Rage AOE (hold triangle and press R2 or L2) creates a massive heat cloud that does a lot of damage. Great for wiping out 2-3 enemies at once.

Is there a way to drop a weapon? I think I'm being thick.
Edit: Go into your deathbag to see and then you can drop items. I am an idiot.

Game is fun. But there's no traditional co op multiplayer, right?
