Crimson Capes

Co-op is buggy in some areas, but not enough to hinder enjoyment. Bring a friend or three. Really good animations for a pixelated sidescroller, apperently they were mocapped similarly to classic mk games, I think. I also liked the background layers, making the game feel way larger than it already is. Big Passion project over here, I strongly reccomend it.

Here off the back of Windmills, which rules. First impressions, this is like the higher budget sequel; Takes the 16 bit platformer and propels to a 90's PC spec combat adventure. Again, what's not to love. Great writing, great gameplay - hand made heaven

I really like the fluid combat system that the devs incorporated in this game, challenging but extremely satisfying if pulled off correctly. The theme and especially the dialogues are also very good. However, the parry and deflect mechanic in this game is just not good. Some enemy have very fast combo that there is no room for a drain stamina attack after you have successfully deflect them. And most of the time I have to trade blood with them to get their stamina bar to zero. Not to mention several consecutive deflects do not drain the enemy stamina at all. An easy fix is to make the enemy staggered after you have deflected them many times in a row. This would fix the combat system in my opinion.

Tür içerisinde birbirinden esinlenen hatta kopya çeken oyunlar görmeye alışmışken Crimson Capes’in kendine ait bir kimliğe sahip olmasını ve orijinal bir oynanış sunmasını beğendim.

This game is just straight up gameplay. Which is good because it has a solid combat system. It is a little bit short, but for the price point seems reasonable.

It pains me to write such a review, because I can tell a lot of effort and passion has gone into this game, especially the animations and art. Indeed, none of these aspects of the game are an issue for me at all. If I were to critique this game only in terms of its art direction and animations, this game would be one of the best games of all time. Sadly, games cannot be assessed only on this basis, especially not Blasphemous-style soulslikes. Blasphemous is also a very gorgeous game, and had solid, rhythmic combat where every enemy seemed to be bound by the same rules as you. Alas, this is not at all the case in Crimson Capes. It felt to me that, throughout the experience, Crimson Capes wanted to have Blasphemous/Sekiro-style combat without understanding what made either of them work. As mentioned before, Blasphemous is a game that required a lot of Castlevania and Dark Souls-esque calculation, since both you and the enemies that you'd encounter would be about as fast as you. What's more, since the game was oriented around solo combat, Blasphemous was very, very careful about enemy placement and tried to make sure enemy attacks did not overlap in obnoxious ways, lest combat be an unreadable, poorly-paced mess. The bosses in Blasphemous were not horribly difficult, but also did not shy away from a mild puzzle feel, or utilized the arena in interesting ways. I have played Sekiro less, but from what I understand, Sekiro made sure that aggressive combat was highly rewarded, while also recognizing that bullying enemies with combos would be obscenely boring. Thus, Sekiro's stamina bar was a means of ensuring that you and the enemy would have to rhythmically bob in and out of combat, and so, part of mastering Sekiro's combat was the dance you'd do with both deflects and aggressive gameplay once you understood boss patterns. It is an ingenious system that few games besides the outstanding game Nine Sols has ever replicated since. I get the sense that Crimson Capes is an ambitious game, given that it tried to blend both of these influences together into a game that worked. However, two particularly pernicious problems reared their heads in this game. For one, enemies, and especially bosses, have their animation speeds and attack downtime clocked absurdly high. This seems like this was a last-minute balance change to ensure that gameplay wasn't too easy in order to keep up with the recent influx of action soulslikes that have come out in recent years. Since the game is not too long (it's about 8 hours on average, but I suspect a few hours more if you try to 100% everything), perhaps the developers were worried that their game would be seen as a disappointment to said action soulslike fans if their bosses were not difficult. However, enemy speeds being as high as they are leads to the second main issue of gameplay: combat is not impactful enough, and the game has a problem that many in the genre have experienced: enemies seem like they're having way more fun than you are. Combat is a lot of waiting, deflecting, and dodging, where you wait for your ability to hit the boss with 1, maybe 2 light attacks before they continue with their multi-hit frenzy, since deflecting is the only option you're given, and it doesn't affect poise or stamina in this game. For whatever reason, hitting the enemy is the only way to decrease enemy stamina, and enemies regenerate their stamina over time if you don't hit them. This means that if you ever want to get a critical hit on many later bosses, you'll have to rely on circumventing combat with your powers (rather than enhancing combat with said powers) or relying on RNG where a boss uses attacks with more openings than not. Interestingly, I did not feel this way about the two "hardest" bosses in the game (the lightning-themed king and light king bosses, respectively), as they had a very distinctive rhythm and aggressive pace, along with very clear openings. They are largely an exception to a pretty noxious rule. I'll close by offering the cliche "you can trust my game review because I'm not bad at these games" by noting that difficulty does not bother me, in light of the fact that I have beaten the final boss of Lies of P's DLC's Difficulty 5 iteration in 4 minutes and 27 seconds. It's a shame we live in a climate where such credentials are required to be taken seriously, but I sort of understand I suppose. The reason I make this point clear about difficulty is that I think that a gameplay loop in action soulslikes should have a satisfying loop that rewards aggressive gameplay rather than giving the player about 2 seconds of uptime before they go back to a passive snooze-fest. Sadly, I think Crimson Capes falls into this camp. It's tragic, because I think that lowering animation speeds and adding variation to how one should approach bosses could have saved it.

C'est la première fois que j'écris une critique sur Steam ! J'ai adoré Crimson Capes ! C'est bien pour plusieurs raisons selon moi : Déjà les mécaniques de combat sont vraiment bien faites, il y a la possibilité de faire des combos d'attaques très variés, des feintes, des esquives etc sans parler des accessoires et collectibles (la plume de corbeau !), bref le gameplay offre beaucoup de possibilités. Ensuite chaque partie de la map a une atmosphère qui lui est propre et il y en a pas une en dessous d'une autre. L'histoire de la guilde de "Crimson Capes" est sympa, les dialogues avec les PNJ sont bien écrits, avec de l'ironie et du sarcasme bien pensés meme si parfois je sentais que je ne comprenais pas tout puisque le jeu est en anglais et mon niveau dans cette langue est pas incroyable non plus (je suis français). Concernant les combats j'ai pas mal galéré sur certains boss (Tip'Leazar, Le Sphynx, Le Minotaure, le dernier boss...) meme s'il n'y a rien d'infaisable, tout est une question de timing comme vous vous en doutez. Pour finir, je dirai que ce que j'ai le plus aimé du jeu c'est son atmosphère originale, les déplacements des persos qui rendent le gameplay agréable et les combats bien évidemment! Bref, n'hésitez plus : allez acheter ce jeu c'est important de soutenir les jeux indés (c'est d'ailleurs pour ça que je me suis motivé à lui faire de la pub). Big up à toute l'équipe qui a travaillé sur ce jeu et qui nous permet d'y jouer pour vraiment pas cher...
