Darkblade Ascent

Game feels cheap, enemies feel clunky, slow and too many look the same. Fist impressions are too bad, I gave it a run and just was not what i had hoped.. Feels like a 15 year old game in more ways than one. If it was early access I may of sat on it to see if it cooked.

I really enjoyed it!

It's a buggy mess. A pretty mess. But a mess.

It's decent, almost great for the price. Aesthetically its chefs kiss. Needs some sound work, reverb, more sounds. Needs a little bit of polish, but its still 'good enough'. Graphics are sufficient, to decent. Gameplay has a decent feel to it and you level up and power up regularly. It's worth the cheap price. I feel that these developers know what they're doing. I will certainly be checking in with them in the future.

It is a 2 second unity project meant to grab money. However, I still enjoyed it. Needs more quality. It is very basic and simple yet entertaining.

Immer wieder von vorne Hier geht’s zu meinem Waetsch’s Play: https://youtu.be/inwzqMr3zBo Hübsche Grafik, nette Stimmung, simple Kämpfe. Ein schönes Spiel für immer mal wieder zwischendurch. Grundsätzlich hadere ich ja mit dem Genre der Roguelikes, irgendwie fühle ich mich immer um meinen Erfolg betrogen. Dennoch verfängt auch bei mir durchaus die Motivation, es noch einmal zu versuchen – und eventuell dann noch einmal. Darkblade Ascent ist ein Roguelike aus der Ego-Perspektive, bei dem wir mit etwas Zauberei und unterschiedlichen Nahkampfwaffen den Gegnern den Pelz vermöbeln. Auch wenn es auf dem Bildschirm an Dark Messiah of Might and Magic erinnert, hat es damit nichts zu tun und ist etwas völlig anderes. Was nicht schlecht sein muss. Die Kämpfe gehen recht flott von der Hand, das Finden immer besserer Waffen motiviert. Dass die Gegner willkürlich spawnen, auch mal um uns herum, ist eher so mittel. Dennoch kann man hier Spaß haben – nichts für den ganzen regnerischen Sonntag, aber um abends mal runterzukommen, eine ganz nette Sache.

This game would be fun, if it weren't for the fact that after the first boss, it's completely unbalanced. Your health doubles, but enemy damage is multiplied by 4 or 5 , and you can lose up to 10% of your health with a single hit, meaning you can take a total of 10 hits across the levels before the next boss. Healing is very rare and ineffective, and the skill to increase your health to max must be bugged, because I maxed it out, but my health remained unchanged. It's also supposed to heal 10% at the end of a room, but it doesn't, or perhaps the developers mean the entire level by "room," not the parts separated by the doors? Magic projectiles pass through enemies, and you see them suddenly appear while you're engaging an opponent in melee combat. Enemies sometimes penetrate each other, so sometimes they attack, and you can't tell who hit you because they're hidden by their teammates... It's a shame, I doubt they'll change the balance so as not to irritate the Nazis-"git gud," but I hope they at least fix the health bug. The fact is, this game has bored me.
