Animus: Revenant

Is this a bad game? I dont think so but it feels very rough. I personally would not recommend it based on other big title souls-likes and even smaller titles. It would of course be unfair to compare it to Dark Souls but even compared to the smaller titles I just feel as though it needs more polish. My concerns are the lack of a proper roll, the lack of keyboard support, some poor telegraphs and bit unfair enemy tracking. Biggest thing is probably ranged enemies can hit you from off screen and you'll have no idea where they are given the fixed camera.

Finally finished this game! it took me some time... I played a first playthrough (i went pretty far and played more than 16 hours on this 1st playthrough) that i didn't finished at the time for some reasons that i forgot but i always wanted to get back to it as i really liked it the first time. And now after roughly 18 hours, i finally made it, yay! Ok so this is totally a Soulslike, in every aspects. A good one according to me. The GOOD stuff + NPC's tell you the minimum and it's all a bit cryptic. Lore is mostly in the items descriptions, i like that you have to figure out things on your own + The level designed is at the same time pretty linear but it can also be maze-like and it's always good to explore. + There´s some quests and puzzles for hidden bosses and they're rewarding + Combat is rough in the beginning but when you get the feeling of it (and a good weapon that you like), then it's getting much better. It's actually quite accurate with the dodges and parry. + It's tough! oh damn it's tough and challenging. But in a good way. The same technique can not be applied to all bosses and ennemies so you have to adapt. I like that + Atmosphere works great, music and sound effects too. The weapons feel so impactfull and heavy, same as armor and every fighting sounds. I LOVE the sound design here! + Good length, about 20 hours with hidden bosses and exploration The MEH or BAD - A couple of bugs like a boss' second phase not launching, memories (the souls of this game) dissapearing from the battlefield after i died...but nothing too serious - The stats or levelling does not seem to have any impact on the damage done or received. It looks like numbers (big numbers sometimes) that have close to 0 effect on the gameplay. At least that's my feeling To sum it up i LOVED Animus Revenant ! I had fun all the way through. I played the 2 previous Animus game, first one of mobile and Animus Harbinger on Switch and this one is definitely better and this time they got it right. I'm looking forward to start NG+ ps: big thanks to the guy named weArEuS on Youtube for his playthrough that helped me finding 2 of the hidden bosses that i missed

寸評： 極めてオーソドックスなソウルライク。 それだけに安定感があるが、独自の面白さもない。 日本語訳はまあまあ。ところどころ違和感があったり訳語が統一されていなかったりするが、意味がわからないということはなかった。 詳細： ・防御行動が貧弱 ・回避モーションと攻撃の踏み込みが優秀 ・パリィが一度使ったらしばらく使えない といった要素により、プレイ感はソウルライクと言うよりは銃のないBloodborneに近い。 ただし慣れてくると戦闘が単調になる。 カメラが動かせないのが苦痛だった。

Excellent top down soul like game! Can't remember such games, they are usually all from the third person view. Although the controls cannot be changed, it is pretty good. It is a pity that so few people play, I would like some multiplayer experience! Recorded some gameplay: https://youtu.be/EvhVawRoBi8

초반 플레이를 해봤는데 재밌네요. 소울류를 좋아해서 닼솔 시리즈는 물론 거의 모든 소울류 게임을 플레이 해 보았습니다만, 쿼터뷰로 진행되는 소울류는 처음이군요. 개발사의 이전작도 해봤었는데 완성도나 진행, 스토리 텔링이 많이 좋아져서 놀랐습니다. 패링할때 느낌이 매우 좋아요! :) 매우 가성비가 좋은 게임이구요, 소울류 좋아한다면 재밌게 즐길수 있는 게임 입니다. 플레이 타임이 얼마나 될런지 모르겠네요? 소울류 특성상 다회차 진행은 되겠죠? 좀 더 해보고 와야겠네요.

Pour rager durant les chaudes soirées d'été ! Ma vidéo de découverte : https://youtu.be/4m2Dz-lvobc Un Souls like bien réalisé que ce soit au niveau des graphismes, de l'ambiance sonore et des contrôles du personnages. Le jeu est fluide ce qui est important pour ce type de jeu où la moindre erreur se paye cash. Je recommande ce jeu aux fans de la série des Souls qui auront l'habitude d'une difficulté élevée.

I've played it on my switch and now I've gotten it on my steam account. I was actually surprised with this game. It's actually a great game. Been playing for a couple of days and it took me a while to figure out how to level up. But after getting used to the controls it's turning out to be better than I anticipated. It's a hidden gem.

Unbalanced, slow and laggy trash.

다크소울과 완전 똑같은데 조작을하면 가끔 반대로 움직이고 몹을 때려도 안맞을때도 있고 버그도 한두개가아고, 네 망겜 맞습니다. 처음으로 부정적평가달아보네

My experience so far with the game, it's my first time playing a "Souls-like" My specs : Win10 AMD r9 5900x RX 580 8gb NO fps issues, i feel the game is well optimized. works perfectly for me. Gameplay : Fluid Controls (controller) works fine but i don't feel i'm in control some combos are way too long and are more of a liability than of help against bosses. First 3-4 bosses easy then you hit a big wall, the Boss in plate, basically the game tells hey it's time to farm unreliable mats/resources. Other than that no bugs, maybe i am a complete noob but i don't feel they try to help me even a little with moving forward. - A map of the zones would be nice too I recommend, yes because i will continue playing. The game is really good i'm just bad at it, the wall i hit will certainly be surmountable by an experience Souls player. PS : I wouldn't mind any tips if you have :) Cheers
