CORPUS EDAX

Game is quite good! Rough on edges, but where it matters it shines!

Sim.

Franchement chouette pour le premier titre d'un petit développeur. A t-il des bugs ? Oui, et ça fait clairement partie du charme - voire du gameplay si vous apprenez à en tirer partie. Cela dit pas de crash à déclarer ni de vrais bugs fonctionnels, du moins rien qui ne puisse être résolu en rechargeant la dernière sauvegarde. Les combats deviennent juste rapidement chaotiques dès qu'ils impliquent plus de deux ou trois personnages, et de manière générale le moteur physique ne manque jamais de surprendre... Même si le récit n'est pas absolument convaincant, le concept est top, les dialogues ont leur charme et l'esthétique est super attachante. Je le recommande ne serait-ce que pour le plaisir de jeter un objet au visage d'un ennemi, les voir fusionner ensemble et les regarder partir à toute vitesse en percutant chaque coin de la pièce comme un insecte volant coincé dans une véranda. Bref, un régal.

Mix some fun combat, a short playthrough, kinda janky physics, fine to low spec graphics, add a few decent songs, to end up with CORPUS EDAX The combat is what shines through, kicking people off ledges Dark Messiah style doesn't lose it's appeal. If you like the demo, support an indie dev and grab the whole thing.

a lot of love went into this one and you can tell, my only wish is more people to fight

Very rough and abandoned. Combat is the main thing and everything else is kinda there, not much in the way of alternatives paths most of the time except maybe a vent or a pipe along the wall, no reason to invest in anything other than strength. Couple of good ideas like dragging npcs to face scanners and extending pipes for platforming. Story is meaningless and just an excuse to drag the player around from grey place to grey place with hole to kick people in. There are better kicking simulators out there.

It feels like a mix of inmersive sim and Mirror's Edge at times. The combat ain't very deep, but gets really flexible, think of Dark Messiah but cheaper. Sneaking around and getting lots of perks, finding your way around in maps with little details. It's a game you can vibe with time.

[h1]General Impressions[/h1] While Corpus Edax touts itself as an immersive sim, I'm not sure if I'd agree with the definition on immersiveness to the title. Putting into context over what I mean here, it'd be like saying Fallout 4 is a narrative-driven immersive sim, where three of the four communication options are Yes in a varied tonal shift, while "No" is unavailable, or you're looking for more context. When you try this game out, the community guide that spoils where all the little additions in stats is your best bet to getting a fun experience. There are goodies absolutely everywhere that boost your character's attributes permanently, but you'll likely be able to get by with checking through 50-60% of what the starting locations have while having a heavy focus on Grit/Strength, With how Corpus Edax is currently setup, there are other attributes like Charisma and Intelligence, but these options simply are not long-term solutions that require them as an effective strategy. Allure, for example, straight up has no pairings to any of its attributes. If you tried chatting with any of the NPCs, you'll notice how Allure only carries weight with any story-focused character. There are privileged security characters, but having Insight or Allure reveal bland flavor text, with most conversations ending up lasting only 3-4 seconds before the conversation is already over. The AI itself is also fairly rudimentary. Don't catch yourself throwing a jab at a teammate, otherwise they'll treat that friendly fire as your enemy. In most if not all cases, I find myself in an environment where it's a stick fight animation, every person inside the room is my enemy, and I'm the only savior in this hellscape. There's no particularly special attacks you can do, not until you've spent your skill points getting them, and if there's a piece of glass between you and the enemy, they're blind to what you've done with their teammates on the opposite side. I purchased this at full price, and I had a good experience even if I disagree in its "immersive" portion of it. if you're still down to try the game, get it when it's on sale for $5 and see for yourself whether this immersive sim is the experience you're looking for.
