Hoa. Magical platform adventure game

Posted on May 26, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Hoa is a platformer adventure game developed by ‘Skrollcat Studio‘ and published by ‘PM Studios‘. Hoa is said to be coming out the 21st of July 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Hoa is looking cool and we like what we see but we have our own concerns and can see issues. Let’s take a look.

Hoa is about… well… Hoa. Hoa is the main character in this huge magical world. There’s huge trees, funny creatures and lots going on. Hoa is out discovering her own story on this journey. Yes, this is weird already. The main things about Hoa, the game, not the character, is that it looks beautiful. That jumps out to you the moment you see it. It’s nice to see something like this in the gaming world. We like art based stuff that looks so good.

X35 Earthwalker Hoa

Let’s get straight to the issues concerning Hoa. First of all the main character Hoa looks pathetic. Totally lame. We saw the beauty of the game and was like “wow, we like this”. We saw a small creature and thought that wimpy small thing is an enemy or A.I. creature. We were wrong. Once we learnt that’s the character bee instantly lost interest in the game. The boy from Limbo didn’t look lame in that game, it fit. Ori looks fantastic in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. This character… we don’t like it. Honestly we hate this character and we don’t even know anything about Hoa (the character) yet. This character is the biggest problem for us. This character, Hoa, alone is enough to probably make gamers write the game off without giving it a chance.

We checked out some Hoa gameplay and it’s what we thought it would be for the most part. We like the Hoa world. We like the different creatures. We like the particle effects. They look great. We like the bunny bug, we like that beetle creature in the forest who is friendly. We like the animations in Hoa too. Very good. Just watch the wings moving on that big caterpillar bug in the forest. Looks fantastic. We like the music and how calm Hoa is. The music is very good and clearly good work went into making it. This is a calming atmosphere and fr gamers to take their time and tho on a journey without fear. What they have done here is great. We just hate the character. Seriously.

Overall Hoa looks like an excellent game. It has many strong points. Looks great, sounds great and most likely gives a good feeling. Game looks easy but it was designed to be that way. So it isn’t a real negative since it’s intentional game design. Hate to say this again but the mai character, Hoa sucks. It looks stupid and is so lame. It puts us off Hoa. The developers Skrollcat Studio have done a very good with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker looks forward to seeing Hoa release. Now Hoa might have a magical world but it’s all dull and boring when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Edge of Eternity. Looking good

Posted on May 21, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Edge of Eternity is an action role playing game developed by ‘Midgar Studio‘ and published by ‘Dear Villagers‘ and ‘Maple Whispering‘. Edge of Eternity is said to be coming out the 8th of June 2021 on PC but the fourth quarter of the year 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. This game is big and looks good. Let’s take a look.

Edge of Eternity is set in a fantasy world with magic and really advanced technology. The world is called Heryon. Some time ago some aliens show up and bring the pain in abundance. There was a huge “cataclysmic war”. This war required the maximum use of technology and magic. This resulted in immense devastation. The alien invaders at some point released what’s called ‘the corrosion’. This disease turns living things into messed up abominations. The whole situation in Edge of Eternity is messed up. This is where you come in.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

Now Edge of Eternity has a lot of combat here. Thank goodness for that. Combat matters. We have seen animals, infected animals, ships, elemental like beings and mechanical foes. Some of these threats are large, some enemies look really cool. The combat off course is turn based. The battlefield is separated into hexagon grids. This allows for clear positioning and measurement. Turn based strategy games are unique in how much players need to apply thinking power. We aren’t sure how deep the combat goes, in Edge of Eternity, concerning the system and mechanics. We know there’s magic, direct attacks and off course abilities but that’s too vague. We need to know more.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

Here’s some quick information about Edge of Eternity. Yasunori Mitsuda who did music concerning Chrono trigger and Xenoblade Chronicles, worked on the soundtrack for Edge of Eternity. There’s a crafting system. There’s suppose to be some highly emotional twists and moments. There’s 5 human companions to unlock. There’s over 120+ cartable items. There are dungeons. After all what action role playing game doesn’t have a dungeon of some sort. Maybe best of all is the fact that you can have a giant furry friendly friend. Basically some big cat looking creature called a Nekaroo who helps you out by giving you a ride. This thing might win the hearts of a number of players.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

We checked out some Edge of Eternity gameplay and it’s what we mostly thought it would be. You travel the world freely, even riding a Nekaroo to explore the whole area. There’s enemies out there but we’ve got flashy powerful attacks to finish them off. There’s chests to find and open to get new weapons and items. There’s a progression system and crystals that need to be used for upgrading characters. The music makes itself known for sure. It’s presence can’t be ignored. There’s more to see and we are interested.

Overall, Edge of eternity looks awesome. We are liking the music, liking the combat so far (still need more information), like the flashy moves, special effects and definitely the graphics and visuals. Just look at the world. It’s big and looks beautiful. You have to take a look. The developers ‘Midgar Studio’ have done an awesome job so far with Edge of Eternity. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to seeing more of Edge of Eternity and what it has to offer. Now Edge of Eternity may look fancy and epic but it looks boring and standard when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Maid of Sker. Welsh horror

Posted on May 19, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Maid of Sker is a first person horror survival game developed by ‘Wales Interactive‘ and published by ‘Wales Interactive’ and according to a certain website, ‘Perp Games‘. Maid of Sker is said to be coming out on Xbox Series X and PS5. It’s off course already out on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Maid of Sker is basically just moving up to the latest conceals really. Let’s take a look.

Maid of Sker isn’t new. So you should already know the deal. Maid of Sker is set in a dodgy hotel. Here’s the description about the game “set in a remote hotel with a macabre history from Welsh folklore.” Fun fact though… Maid of Sker is “Set in 1898 and inspired by the haunting Welsh tale of Elisabeth Williams, this is a story of a family empire driven by torture, slavery, piracy and a supernatural mystery that suffocates the grounds of the hotel.” So wholesome family friendly stuff.

X35 Earthwalker Maid of Sker

The main thing here is that the Maid of Sker is coming to the next gen consoles Xbox Series X and PS5. This means better performance, better visuals and fast speed and reduced load time etc. So those of you who have played Maid of Sker, you know what to expect. We like some of the concepts going on here. Especially the whole don’t breathe thing and how you deal with enemies.

There are beings referred to as the Quiet men. It’s said that when they show up, you must not even breathe. That’s scary. You can’t breathe. Maid of Sker has “a multiple thread narrative”. This means the story can go down different paths depending on some factors. The factors here are your decisions. Your decisions matter… well that’s what it says. There’s multiple endings too.

X35 Earthwalker Maid of Sker

Maid of Sker has what’s described as ‘3D sound based AI system”. It’s the main gameplay mechanic here. There’s no real combat here. There’s a sound device, a defensive only sound device. S you can use this device to lure, trick and mess around with enemies… not beat them. Players have to sneak around, hide, even trap and off course run. Players must use their brains in Maid of Sker. Get tactical. We do like this approach only when done well. The enemies have to be scary and something worth avoiding. Lady Dimitrescu isn’t scary. Actually fans troll her. Her showing up wasn’t a big deal. Enemies in games like this need to be a big problem.

We checked out some Maid of Sker gameplay and it’s what we expected. Reminds us of Visage. You move around, slower pace, figure things out, find and collect keys, solve mysteries and puzzles. Then advance through the story, the hotel etc. What we do very much like is that the enemies get more difficult as your progress. Here’s what the description says, “enemies become more difficult to avoid, to the point where standing still and holding your breath is the only option! Time it correctly and you’re safe, for now. Run out of breathe and — suffer.”

Overall Maid of Sker looks like another horror survival game but this one is getting a promotion to the next gen consoles. There has been some updates for Maid of Sker so older players of this game has something to check out. The developers have done a good job with Maid of Sker. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear about how players respond to Maid of Sker. Now Maid of Sker may have quite men but they will scream if they face… the ‘Earth Walk!’

We Were Here Forever. Can you escape?

Posted on May 7, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

We were here Forever is a co-op puzzle adventure game developed and published by ‘Total Mayhem Games’. We were here Forever is said to be coming out in the forth quarter of 2021 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC. We were here Forever has a tough genre right here. They need to bring something special. Let’s take a look.

We were here Forever is a rare case for us. This game didn’t interest us at all but we wanted to give it a chance as people still worked hard on it and so does deserve a chance. By the way this game is 2 player co-op ONLY. No solo where you control both. Nope. Two people at all times.

What’s We were here Forever about? The games description says “You and your friend are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock with no way out – were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? Work together to explore and solve puzzles in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Be aware, nothing is what it seems – there are dark secrets hidden in the shadows. Will you be able to escape?” Now this does sound cool but as we mentioned earlier there’s a problem.

X35 Earthwalker We were here Forever

We were here Forever has a very difficult genre. This target audience of gamers is very precise so already there’s less people interested. This means We were here Forever needs to be something special or got a secret weapon to bring in the players. We don’t want We were here Forever to be another case of a great game that many didn’t even give a chance. Now We were here Forever is part of a series. The previous titles are: We were here, we were here too and we were here together. These games are all connected. Fans of the series knows what to expect. You know what time it is.

We really like the concept here that you and your partner must both communicate with each other through walkie talkies. You have to be each others “eyes and ears”. You might be in a position to see what your partner is controlling with a mechanism. Or you stumbled into danger and your survival depends on your partners actions. Communicate is key. So watch each others backs. This does give you some ideas on what the puzzles will be. As in their nature and solutions. So we don’t expect anything really difficult.

X35 Earthwalker We were here Forever

We checked out some We were here Forever gameplay and it’s mostly what we thought it would be. First person action, warm clothing to counter the incredibly cold environment of Antartica. What was cool is some of the threats here. There’s lots of danger and some more powerful than others. We have been teased with a jester who seems like a crappy being for sure. The game teases with this line, “you’ve met the Jester, but is he even the most powerful being within the walls of Castle Rock?” This should get players concerned. What else is out there? What’s their nature? We got questions for sure.

Overall We were here Forever looks like it’s going to be a good game. First impression gave it a lame boring look but on closer inspection we can see some real danger and action up ahead. We hope they make that happen. We already hate the jester. Looks like an idiot. The developers ‘Total Mayhem Games’ have done a good job with this game so far. There’s two paths they can go, we at X35 Earthwalker hope they pick the clearly better one. Now We were here Forever may have walk talkies but the range is too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Necromunda: Hired Gun. It’s a job

Posted on April 30, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Necromunda: Hired Gun is a new fast paced first person shooter game developed by ‘Streum On studio‘ and published by ‘Focus Home Interactive‘. Necromunda: Hired Gun is said to be coming out the 1st of June 2021 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC. Necromunda: Hired Gun is suppose to be a smaller fast game for fans. Let’s take a look.

Necromunda: Hired Gun is all about this hired gun. That’s you the player by the way. You are in Necromunda. A crappy place full of nothing but crime and corruption. In this world you have to be merciless, which the hired gun is. Simple life really. You see the bounties, happy with the price and then go to get them. The hunt is on. Don’t feel bad as they are gangsters and mutants, some of which are notorious. Get to it.

X35 Earthwalker Necromunda: Hired Gun

One more thing we didn’t mention. There’s a dog. Your dog. You have a loyal cyber dog that helps you track down and kill these targets. The dog is active too, as it’s capable of killing your targets itself as well. You ain’t so ordinary yourself either. Thanks to customisable augments, your body is enhanced allowing you to do certain things like leaping over large gaps and even run on walls. you’ve got a grapple hook for extra mobility and traversal options. So this isn’t just a straight up shooter.

X35 Earthwalker Necromunda: Hired Gun

We checked out some Necromunda: Hired Gun gameplay and it’s what we expected. Keep agile, keep moving and gun them all down as you make your way to the target. There’s loads of special effects and even some electric based attacks. There’s multiple types of enemies too, even foes with mechanical parts suits and enhancements which make them very difficult to take down. Knowing which enemy to take down first and prioritise is quite important here. The level design is cool and definitely looks like a futuristic but bummy looking location. Definitely a den for scum and low lives. You see factory looking areas for mass productions. Parts and scrap around showing that the locals and guys here are in business for sure. Supplying their crime. So yeah… kill them.

Overall Necromunda: Hired Gun looks like a smaller scale action game. You just get out there and destroy your foes casually and quickly. Even the official trailer had a narrator which made light of the situation and enemies. So this isn’t anything serious but more focused on humour and fun. We will have to get more information about Necromunda: Hired Gun. The developers ‘Streum On studio’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to see what goes on with this game. Necromunda: Hired Gun may have a loyal cyber-mastiff but that thing would run away from… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Lemnis Gate. Time loop strategy

Posted on April 26, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

X35 Earthwalker Lemnis Gate gaming blog post

Lemnis Gate is a new turn-based combat strategy first person shooter game developed by ‘Ratloop games‘ and published by ‘Frontier Games‘. Lemnis Gate is said to be coming out in the third quarter of 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. Lemnis Gate looked cool so we thought why not. Let’s take a look.

Lemnis game seems to be all about action. There’s no information concerning a story or anything. After all it is described by some as an arena shooter. So that’s the primary focus of the game. So it’s first person shooting, with heavy strategy, with different characters, multiple rounds all within a time loop. Yep, time loops.

X35 Earthwalker Lemnis Gate G-blog

Let’s explain this for you guys how Lemnis Gate works. As mentioned before the match take place in time loops. It’s your turn. You have 25 seconds to do what you want. So either move your character to another location, set something up, prepare or attack someone. The other players get their turn to do the same. Once everyone is done, the next 25 second round begins. Now the actions and results of the first round can be seen and carried out. Then you take another action in response to what has already happened or for what will happen or dealing with the current state. The game describes this as “Each of the five rounds is your chance to alter the timeline as past, present, and future converge.”

What’s real cool is that Lemnis Gate isn’t strictly players only. You can literally control the whole team of five yourself. Each operative by yourself. It’s called an auto co-op feature. There are different operatives who are also called heroes. They have their own abilities. Some of these abilities are like the slowing of time to make landing your shots easier, another ability is laying traps like toxic waste and even defensive abilities like “protective orbs” which can be used to help out yourself in the future. Remember there’s more.

X35 Earthwalker Lemnis Gate G-blog

We checked out some Lemnis Gate gameplay and it’s not what we expected at all. We aren’t surprised though. They claim this is turn based strategy and first person shooter action. So how would that work? It didn’t work here. We even checked the trailer and everything seems to be moving at the same time and it looks like a first person shooter only. Sure there are multiple rounds and see the let’s call them ghosts or different dimensions of operatives even after death continuing their action but it doesn’t look like it works right now. We need to see more. We at X35 Earthwalker can easily make this work but let’s see if they can do it. We need to see more.

Overall Lemnis Gate does look good concerning the operative designs, the visuals, the idea and the effects. We noticed that the operatives have their own loadouts as well as ability. It does seem like Lemnis Gate will be more about planning, tactics and abilities instead of just raw shooting skill. Again we will need to see how that works out. The developers ‘Ratloop games’ have so far done a alright job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what else goes on with Lemnis Gate. Now Lemnis Gate might have time loops but those loops have no effect on… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Judgement. Serious Yakuza spin off

Posted on April 19, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Judgement is an action adventure game developed by ‘Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio‘ and published by ‘Sega‘. Judgement is said to be coming out the 23rd of April 2021 on the Xbox Series X and PS5 but already out on PS4. Judgement does look serious but we will keep this G-blog on the shorter end. Let’s take a look.

Judgement is all about a disgraced lawyers who’s seeking redemption. This would be not that hard of a task except that the world in judgement is full of trouble, corruption and despair. The detective known as Takayuki Yagami aims to discover the secrets in the heart of kamurocho. This truly is a bad place. Not the worst but very bad.

X35 Earthwalker Judgement gaming blog post

Now in case you didn’t know Judgment is from the same guys who did the Yakuza series like Yakuza: Like a dragon. Matter of fact, Judgement is a Yakuza spin off. So expect similar things, rules, gangs etc as it’s the same universe for sure. Yakuza fans should therefore enjoy Judgement.

Combat in games like this truly matter. One star game from the past that was about detectives, handling crime and had good combat was ‘True crime New York City’. Combat matters. It needs to be effective and have options for players.Judgement has two main fighting styles. Crane style which is best for handling groups of enemies and Tiger style which is all about focused combat so best for facing one foe. We wonder how accurate those styles are though.

X35 Earthwalker Judgement combat system

We checked out some Judgement gameplay and it’s what we expected. Go around, check out the area but use your skills when needed. This applies to detective work too. You forgot that you’re a detective didn’t you? There’s weapons, skills and off course EX actions. Judgement wouldn’t be in the Yakuza world if it didn’t have EX actions to bring in the powerful but very silly moves in combat. Yep, Judgement is about that action for sure.

Overall Judgement just looks like another cool and good game. The combat is fast paced and looks flashy too. There’s lock picking and useful skills. We like how the Crane and Tiger fighting styles are clearly identified. The graphics and visuals are very good. Remember that Judgement is coming to Xbox Series X and PS5 so expect improved visuals and performance (especially on the Xbox Series X). The developers ‘Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to wait and hear what Judgement gets up to. Now Judgement may have some cool combat but those styles would be ineffective against… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Ever Forward. Use your brain

Posted on April 16, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Ever Forward is a adventure puzzle game developed and published by ‘Pathea‘. Ever Forward is said to be coming out the 29th of June 2021 on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. Ever Forward is already out on PC though. We saw this game and decided to check it out. Let’s take a look.

Ever Forward is all about Maya. Maya is a young girl who somehow is lost in a most unusual world. This world has been described as being “between reality and imagination.” She is off course all alone and must do this adventure by herself. Her mother did warn her not to go outside but hey that’s kids for ya. This journey is about discovery and as you progress, Maya will face her despair, face her fears and unlock memories. This will also unlock the secrets of this world. So get to it.

X35 Earthwalker Ever Forward Game

It is the story of Maya. Maya is lost in a strange world somewhere between reality and imagination. She is alone to confront her despair on her journey of discovery, where she must unlock her memories and confront her fears to unravel the secrets of the world. Players will need to use their observational skills and intelligence to solve multiple puzzles to piece together the mystery of Maya’s past and what dark secrets she has buried.

We automatically like games that has creativity. The whole world in Ever Forward is creative for the most part. Now this isn’t just a simple walk around and look game. There’s some mechanics. There’\s jumping and teleportation. There’s controlling of gravity. There’s also sneaking around. Stealth to put it simply. There is at some points what looks like a spotlight or vision displayed like a spotlight that looks in certain directions. You cannot let it see you. So it’s more than just a simple game.

X35 Earthwalker Ever Forward Game

We checked out some Ever Forward gameplay and it’s what we expected it to be. There’s lots to look at. The world is interesting and specifically designed. We like the colours, the trees, the sea etc. The puzzles have variety but the world design and visuals are easily the best thing so far about this game. Since it’s about a young girl called Maya who has a bit of a dark past and family is involved you know the developers are going for feelings and emotions too. So expect the story to get deep to some extent. Looks good though.

Overall Ever Forward looks very good. It does remind us of Manifold Garden in terms of the unique weird world with selected colours. The puzzles here aren’t serious level hard or anything but you do need to use your head and keep an eye out for what’s in the area and what’s going on. We liking the creativity in Ever Forward right now. Didn’t care about the PC version at all but now that it’s coming to consoles things will get better. The developers ‘Pathea’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what happens with this game. Now Ever Forward might be between reality and imagination but it’s all fiction compared to the reality of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Song of Iron. Serious stuff

Posted on April 12, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Song of Iron is a new action adventure game developed and published by ‘Escape’. Song of Iron is an Xbox exclusive said to be coming out in the third quarter of 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC. Song of Iron got our attention and is looking real serious. Make sure your beard is on point (sorry ladies). Let’s take a look.

Song of Iron is about this lone warrior. A viking who has seen battles and wars is on a journey. Behind him lies destroyed shields, numerous dead bodies and remains, crushed helms and more. This journey is for revenge and also to save your people. It’s a death wish. This man has nothing to lose. The destination is the temple of the great gods. Off course this won’t be easy. It’s a “dark nordic world.” Expect heavy resistance of all types.

This ain’t a simple journey in Song of Iron. You will climb mountains, venture into caves and off course there’s a forest to explore. You are wielding the axe of a fallen enemy. Monster, man and even nature are your enemies. There’s more than just your axe. There’s your shield and even a bow with lethal arrows. There’s also a cool mechanic concerning the weapons. You can run out of arrows, your shield can get broken and you can even lose your weapons. So players have to do some resource management and decide what to do wisely.

The graphics are fantastic for the most part. The walls, the background, the trees. the stones are fantastic. The enemies facial design looks bad from what we have sen though. The animations for the main character is excellent and look smooth. The lighting is fantastic as well. The torches light up the area real nice with clear a radius and how it casts lights on objects is so good. This game visuals looks fantastic and it’s clear loads of work went into this game. The electric effect on the axe lights up and again looks very good. It’s a cool light up effect in dark places like caves.

Song of Iron is clearly another awesome Xbox exclusive on the way. Song of Iron is serious for sure. We hope they improve the enemies though as they seem to simply designed and not threatening enough. Hopefully there are some serious league monsters and foes. We hope the combat in Song of Iron has some depth to it. We know your can throw your axe, swap quick to your bow and even like Thor, call your axe back to your hand. This game needs to be deep. Please work on your enemies design, faces and combat.

We checked out some Song of Iron gameplay and it’s more than what we expected. Song of Iron is impressive. It looks very good for sure. We like the interaction animations whether it’s dragging a large object or off course opening a chest. The glow and lighting of the contents on your characters face is real cool too. This game actually makes us want to play it. The lighting is in league with the damaging lighting found in Morkredd which is another Xbox exclusive. The lighting is just that good.

Overall, Song of Iron looks like an excellent game. The character can even drop kick an enemy. Think about it, does Marcus Fenix or Master Chief drop kick enemies? No! There’s a dragon flying in the background, there’s snowy mountains and even stealth elements. You have to decide whether to fight a certain enemy or sneak past. Or a certain fight might attract unwanted attention. The developers ‘Escape’ have done a fantastic job so far but there’s still work to be done. We at X35 Earthwalker are keep our eyes on Song of Iron. Now Song of Iron might have a serious brutal battle journey but it’s nothing compared to the adventures of… the ‘Earth Walk’

Eldest Souls. Take them down

Posted on April 9, 2021 by X35 Earthwalker

Eldest Souls is a new action boss rush game developed by ‘Fallen Flag Studios‘ and published by ‘united label‘ and ‘CI Games‘. Eldest Souls is said to be coming out in the second year of 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Eldest souls name is enough to get some gamers attention for obvious reasons. Let’s take a look.

The story in Eldest Souls is very simple but makes no sense. There’s some major league beings known as the ‘old gods’. They are imprisoned… somehow. So humanity has been prospering a lot. Even great kingdoms have arisen. The old gods “in their final act of vengeance” released a “great desolation upon the world”. Now how did they do that? Didn’t they get imprisoned? Or right before getting sealed they uttered this curse or whatever. So this curse destroyed farms, rivers became dust. A real problem.

Now humanity retaliates with a great crusade. So it’s a big battle to kill all the gods once and for all. Now off course it failed miserably and the kingdoms are in a bad state. So how are a bunch of humans going to kill gods. What’s with fictional worlds and their crappy gods. Listen Eldest Souls, they should be called powerful being or super human etc but not gods. Now after the failed crusade, a lone crusader approaches the citadel. This sole fighter goes in to fight the gods. That’s you. We have many problems with this but her, that’s what video games and fictional for. It’s for the unrealistic, impossible creative imagine stuff. So yeah, go in there and beat up the gods.

Now this is what’s it’s all about. It’s just fast paced brutal gameplay. Hard to win but easy to die. Some describe it as “soul-like” combat. So basically everything you do matters and things can go real real bad in a moment. So no. You can’t take your hand of the controller to scratch your butt for a moment (go wash your hands you nasty). Eldest Souls is a boss rush game. So expect big battle after big battle after big battle. It’s what Eldest Souls is all about. So expect a huge werewolf boss who holds a shield and weapon. Expect a big armour clad knight like enemy with a huge blade. Expect a champion gundyr coming in hot with the giant swings and pressure.

What’s really cool though is that if you beaten lodged, you get something from them. You get an ability or a power from them. So the more you win and the more you conquer, the more powerful you become. So time your dodges, time your strikes, know when to use your abilities and powers. We wanted to know more about these powers though. We do know there’s quite a deep customisation concerning the stats and abilities for the player. You can mix and match to work with many different styles.

We checked out some Eldest Souls gameplay and it’s mostly what we thought. Eldest Souls has quests, the citadel is explorable, there’s a mystery at the center of this game concerning the imprisonment of the gods and what’s going on. There’s non playable characters that have something to say and contribute. The 16 bit graphics pixel style works well with this style of gameplay especially with the player view of the game. This game hasn’t excited us yet. We need to see more.

Overall Eldest Souls looks like a pixel Sekiro, dark souls game but with more emphasis on abilities, combinations and working with what the bosses give you upon victory. It definitely looks like a good game. This is definitely going to get some players attention. The developers ‘Fallen Flag Studios’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to just wait and see what happens with Eldest Souls. Now Eldest Souls may have old gods but those old so called gods are trash compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
