Eldest Souls

Eldest souls is a fast and demanding top-down action game. The game is very enjoyable once you understand its mechanics, it can seem relatively simple at first, but the difficulty increase dramatically when you start adding the restrictions required for 100% completition. 100% Completion Time : 37.9H Completion Difficulty : 8/10 Playthroughs : 4 minimun Missables : None Notable requirements : Complete the game on normal, abyss, no hit for all bosses, no death, no upgrade.

Joguinho bom demais, Eldest Souls é um ótimo jogo pra passar o tempo, em promo fica +-8 pila, então recomendo e a dificuldade é razoável. Ele não é muito longo, pois ele é literalmente um jogo só de bossfight pelo mapa, tem os caminhos que tem itens escondidos para quests de npcs, mas sem inimigos além dos Bosses. A gameplay é divertida, o gráfico bonito, trilha sonora boa, história interessante, sistema de progressão top (podendo redefinir a build quando quiser) e os Bosses são fodas demais. A platina dele é razoavelmente difícil, pois tem troféus de fazer no hit nos Bosses e zerar sem morrer, mas você acostuma até que rápido com os padrões dos Bosses.

(-) Interacting with the environment is frustrating because of the poor visual clarity. It's hard to tell where you can actually walk and where you'll just get stuck on invisible geometry or random objects. (-) Combat feels weird. Either your attacks only go straight ahead, or they automatically lock onto enemies - I honestly couldn't tell. Enemies also seem to have auto-tracking, so they can literally spin 180 degrees in the middle of an attack, making it impossible to dodge. Everything about it feels disorienting. (-) A boss can be facing one direction and swinging straight ahead, yet still hit you when you're clearly outside the attack animation. The game becomes incredibly frustrating when you can't tell whether an animation will actually hit you or not. (-) I literally got stuck in the environment during one of my best attempts. The boss was between me and the camera, so I couldn't even see my own character. (-) Attack animations don't match their hitboxes at all. Attacks that clearly shouldn't connect based on the animation still hit because of the actual hitbox. How the hell am I supposed to know when a dodge is enough and when it isn't? (-) Fighting near the bottom of the screen gives you a much better chance of dodging. If you're near the top, bosses attack from weird angles, and it constantly feels like you're somehow closer to them, making their attacks much more likely to connect. It's complete nonsense. (-) When you're at the top of the screen, you can literally miss the boss's wind-up animation before an attack. (-) A boss can be facing you, yet an ability that's clearly supposed to hit in front of them somehow hits behind them instead. THE GAME FEELS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. You can get hit by attacks even when you're nowhere near where they appear to land. Sure, you can bash your head against the game, ignore all these issues, accept them, and eventually beat it. But that raises one simple question: why? If the game hands me a pile of garbage from the start, why would I willingly take it? I would've refunded it if I hadn't bought it at a 90% discount for less than a dollar. I would never recommend this game to anyone. Souls-like games are supposed to be challenging, but they also need to be polished enough that your deaths feel like your own mistakes - not the result of poor game design. I honestly couldn't find a single positive. If I really had to mention one, it would be the ability to switch builds quickly. [b]1/10[/b].

I dont normally do soulslike games, but this one had me hooked from the start. Mechanics were clean, the story was awesome and the art style was great! The bosses were largely unforgiving as a person who doesnt play these kinds of games, but the ability to retry quickly and learn attack patterns made it a top tier game.

Un boss rush in pixel art che prova a scimmiottare la serie souls in maniera nemmeno troppo velata, finendo per diventarne quasi una parodia già dalle battute iniziali: comandi imprecisi, poca personalità e tanti altri difetti lo lasciano nel mare della mediocrità. Cheers...al bardo sarebbe bastato mettere la testa fuori la porta per trovare la sua corda.

When you make a game clearly ripping off the souls series at least make the controls the same, or let me customize them. The control customization in this game is broken, either I can't use the menu because it has no native ps5 controller support, or I can't change the terrible control scheme, because the game doesn't actually let you customize controller inputs. What a pathetic attempt at a rip-off.

The game accurately advertises itself as brutally challenging, but maybe it's a little too brutal. I keep getting stuck between the bosses and a piece of geometry, and then died. Bosses also take a lot of damage to drop, so fights are really long. It's pretty well designed, but I didn't find it fun. Really pretty to look at, good sound design. Too bad the difficulty is stopping me from seeing more of the game.
