That art style meh, but I will still give it a shot.

Some of the character designs are cool but kinda tryhard in a Tokyo Ghoul kind of way. The character animations and gameplay look really stiff and choppy right now. Not too impressed at the moment.

Edgy Anime Souls.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I'm gonna get it. But seems like Nioh is gonna be the only great "souls inspired" game for a long time.

Salt and Sanctuary!

I saw people playing at TGS yesterday and I think the art style is cool but the gameplay lacks personality. Also, the characters and the enemies are okay but the surroundings are quite dull.
It is too obvious they are making a DS clone, whereas in games like Nioh you can feel the inspiration but that's it.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Only nioh has straight up surpassed souls in terms of gameplay IMO in the realm of souls likes. Code vein has a long way to go to measure up to souls itself. But the visuals look neato. I agree with the guy who says they should delay it, put in a lot more betas and fan feedback and testing instead of rushing it out to meet a 2018 deadline

Yup. They would do better to release it before FROM Software's new ARPG is revealed.

On another note, the story actually looks somewhat decent here, and cut-scenes look good.

Man I hope this shapes up, right now it looks really rough. Doesn't really look like it is bringing much new to the table.

 

[Kvik]

Blood vials beads huh.

I always want to play not Bloodborne on PC. Now I shall have it.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Anime-Souls, eh?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

It looks so damn rough and early 2018 doesn't give me confidence but dammit Ima get it anyway it's anime souls

 

[Mifec]

Salt and Sanctuary!

Good game, mediocre souls game.

 

[Rajang]

This looks like a joke, embarrassing.

 

[KillLaCam]

Salt and Sanctuary!

Ohhh I completely forgot about it, I still gotta try that. Thanks! I actually needed something new to play

 

[UrbanRats]

I thought the art style is absolute garbage. It's like how Nomura designed Batman translated into the art style of Code Vein. It's juvenile, try hard to be cool looking, edgy with all the sharp edges, red and black everywhere possible, whole thing reeks of teenage boy fantasy.

I'm talking about this specifically, not the game's general art direction.
