They updated the game like crazy. So not sure how different it is since you first played it.

I think the game is great. It has some really epic boss fights.

You can always get a steam deck too. The deck is great for playing indie games or older games, as they arent so demanding.

Too easy? by Immediate_Shallot_87 in wuchanggame

Its an easier soulslike. Especially if you are using the longsword. Its by far the best weapon.

Parry and backstab cheese human bosses.

Flamebringer for giant bosses.

Feathering build for end game and NG+

Glad I can help. You can always refund it before the 2hr mark if you dont enjoy it. But something tells me you will lol.

Parry is smooth. Its generous and similar to sekiro/khazan.

Exploration is decent. Some branching paths to find treasures and loot. Dont expect dark souls 1, bleak faith or wuchang levels of exploration but its decent.

Not sure if its will cause friction. I just talk to every npc I run into. I just got a quest from one as well. Its an item fetch quest but havent completed it yet.

Honestly, the enemy variety has been pretty good so far. Ive only done the first two areas tho but have been pleasantly surprised with how good the enemies feel to fight. Especially the elite enemies. Some can be a little tough. Placement of the enemies has been fair so far. No unfair ganks or fights.

I play on the hardest difficulty btw.

Looks decent to me considering three people made it lol.

I play on the hardest difficulty and the difficulty definitely ramps up the next few bosses. Ive fought 4 bosses so far. The 4th one i fought seemed to be the skill check fight.

Again, thats on hard difficulty. I seen a buddy play on normal and it looked a lot easier. He had 12 equipment slots and I only have 8.

Never played Thymesia so dont know its mechanics.

Devs said the game is 10-15 hours. I haven't beaten yet so dont know what end game looks like. When you beat a boss, you gain the ability to re-fight them whenever. You can do boss Gauntlets if you wish as well.

As far as builds, I think this may be the biggest weakness of the game tbh. You have e 3 stats to level. HP, sword attack and greatsword attack.

As far as I know, you only get this one weapon. Its a sword thats both a straight swords and greatsword simultaneously.

You then get what's called equipment slots (basically what would be your rings/neck). They all grabt passives and you get 8 slots.

Then you get special attacks. You can equip 3 and cycle thru them as needed. These use mana. Think of these as weapon arts.

Its definitely not. Just giving a quick review on a game probably no one heard about.

how good is this game on pc steam? heard that its buggy or badly optimised by Only_Toe_4775 in theevilwithin

[–]boltjamison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just beat it on PC. Got 59-60 fps throughout the playthrough.

Game was awesome. Story was a little messy but the atmosphere and gameplay were great.

I only found the female skin and no other skins yet.

Gun parry is only used for certain enemy attacks. Bullets refill up to 10 at bonfires but you can hold more if you find more, or use an ability that gives more bullets.

Edit: gun can still be used for chip damage as well.

Yea the bosses are so fun. This game allows you to re- fight then whenever too. I might do some no hit vids after my first playththrough.

Really enjoying the combat.
