Yeah the 3rd boss is a bit too much, streamin on twitch.

 

[Karak]

Initial impressions based on first boss little bit after:

+combat is really really really fun!
+skill-based / challenging
+soundtrack is good
+controls like a dream
+interesting character designs (just got upto the 2nd boss)

-i'm only up-to the walking section right after the boss, but i hope this isn't a common thing. Its such a bore, and the controls during the walking sequence is really annoying


Needless to say, this has hooked, so will finish this game.

Sadly the walking weirdness is all the time. So odd.

 

[Arkeband]

That's disappointing to read. I have no interest in suffering through what you described.

I have to press a button?! REFUND PLEASE

 

[Spring Drive]

I like Carpenter Brut as much as the next guy but I hate the game's color palette. Also I'm not that much into boss fights. Too bad :/

 

[antitrop]

Launch trailer is amazing, can't wait to get home and download this.

You can just press a button and the hero will automatically walk to the next destination. There are two times that you don't wanna do this though.

Spoiler

The first is right after the first boss, you can return to your cell for some dialogue and a trophy. The other is....

 

[DirtyLarry]

Did not even know about this game until reading this OT.
For the price of Free I will no doubt check it out on the PS4. Love the visual style I am seeing in that launch trailer.

 

[Gbraga]

I love how the trophy's name and your username match perfectly. You have to get it.

 

[jet1911]

The game is clearly not for me buuuuuuuuuut god damn that soundtrack is something else. So good.

 

[Smilebomb]

Second boss spoilers:

Spoiler

lmao can you even dodge that laser beam in the last phase? I've had no issues but i cant dodge that shit for the life of me.

You can hold dodge to get a longer range dodge

 

[Inkvoterad]

You can hold dodge to get a longer range dodge

Oh shit, they weren't joking with this game having tons of small details in the combat and movement.

 

[Alienous]

I haven't seen this much hack & slash in ages, and that's just the screen tearing.

But man, I'm liking this. Just finished the first fight and it's basically "YO! The Video Game". Hype as hell.

Didn't even notice till you pointed it out.

That frakking game, I like the style, I like the combat, but that sons of a frak of bosses make me really dislike FURI and afraid of breaking my controller.

Now a little bit cooldown, and another try later.

 

[Anung]

Bosses 3 and 4 down. 3 has an annoying phase or two but 4 was very enjoyable.

I absolute hate the walking sections in this. Having the auto-walk button makes it less tedious but the idea fails conceptually. Giving the player some downtime after a long fight is good. But forcing the player to walk (or watch the character walking) is just terrible. The long horse rides after fighting a Colossus in SOTC allowed the player to reflect on a previous boss fights and the soothing naturalistic elements and speed of the horse allowed for some meditative journeys to and from the bosses. This isn't that.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Can anyone else not set the resolution to 1440p/VSR? It doesn't affect anything if i do so.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Not that I'm complaining but how did they update PSN this early lol

 

[Sinatar]

It's unity, you have to set your desktop resolution to match your vsr resolution.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

They wanted to play it too

FANS ENGAGE!!!! Man makes my PS4 loud, just started the game so hope it dies down.

 

[super-famicom]

Just watched the trailer. This game looks awesome.

 

[NeoRaider]

FANS ENGAGE!!!! Man makes my PS4 loud, just started the game so hope it dies down.

Really strange for this kind of game tbh. It`s 60fps right?
I guess Unity and bad optimization is to blame.

 

[FHIZ]

There's a dynamic theme up on the PSN store, but no preview video. Anyone buy it blind? Thoughts?

It has Carpenter Brut music... I'm really curious.

 

[Slixshot]

Game is up on US PSN! Searched for it in the search menu on the ps4's system store.

 

[mattp]

seems like a good way to unwind after each fight
you need some kind of break when the whole game is just intense boss fights
i'll wait til i play it to judge

 

[Speevy]

Game looks awesome, but not $25 awesome.

 

[Withnail]

Cool game but I think I need an easy mode. Didn't manage to get past the third phase of the second boss yet.

Edit: wait I'm dumb, there is an easy mode.

 

[ldcommando]

amazing game but doesn´t run very well on ps4

 

[GavinUK86]

Just played an hour of it. Liked the first 2 bosses. Hate the third. Gave up. I love the aesthetic and the music but the boss fight / bullet hell style of gameplay just isn't for me.

The walking and talking is alleviated by just pressing A/X/whatever key so it isn't too bad.

The difficulty drop from the standard to the lower is a bit ridiculous though. It removes all the different boss phases and just pretty much makes them a one hit kill. I get that it's easier, but it felt like a Telltale game on that one.

 

[Brian_FETO]

If I dig the game I'll probably buy it (unless they put up a video and it sucks or something)

Though it says the music "quietly builds the tension" so don't expect slammin beats, it'll probably be whatever plays in the walk and talk sections

 

[silva1991]

Is it on NA store yet?

Is it on NA store yet?

All the PS+ games are up now. Just used the mobile app to download Furi to my PS4.

Japanese VA is fucking good. Works a lot better with the style of this game.

 

[Eumi]

Just beat the first boss and yo, this feels like a game ass game.

Nice suprise. Eager to play more.

 

[Indelible]

I really love the art style of this game, I'am getting a El Shaddai vibe from this.

 

[Xevren]

This game is incredible so far. Only up to the third level but can't wait to play more.

 

[AAMARMO]

Im at the 3rd boss now on stream.

 

[Tabarin]

Game is installed and ready for when I get home this afternoon.

Hearing a lot of good things about it.

 

[Anung]

Boss 5 is fantastic and shows off how pitch perfect that parry system can feel.

 

[Alienous]

Boss 3. This mother fucking boss 3.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Japanese VA is fucking good. Works a lot better with the style of this game.

Is this an option to play with? Or is it a Japanese only kinda deal?

 

[Vaga]

Boss 4 was awesome but 5 was fucking fantastic. What a fight.

 

[chefbags]

Is this an option to play with? Or is it a Japanese only kinda deal?

Option to play with. They have Japanese, English, and French VA. You can change it anytime in the options menu.

 

[Vaga]

If it weren't for the stupid forced walking parts...why would they give you freedom to explore but at a crawling speed?

Lol did I just finished the game by mistake?
