Low-Budget Sekiro Vibe. Gameplay is perfectly fine, Deflect feeling and sound feel so good. I didn't encounter any particular problems. Definitely worth the money.
Platinei o jogo em 58 horas e saí com uma impressão bastante positiva. O maior destaque é o sistema de combate. Embora eu não tenha bons reflexos, gostei muito da mecânica de parry e da sensação de progresso conforme fui aprendendo os padrões dos inimigos. Foi um daqueles jogos que me fizeram ter ainda mais vontade de jogar Sekiro, que é a principal referência do gênero e onde o parry tem um papel ainda mais central. Além disso, o jogo foi extremamente estável durante toda a jogatina. Não tive travamentos, bugs graves ou problemas técnicos que prejudicassem a experiência. Nem tudo é perfeito. Achei a campanha relativamente curta e os gráficos não estão entre os pontos fortes do jogo. Eles cumprem seu papel, mas dificilmente impressionam. Ainda assim, o combate é tão divertido que compensou essas limitações para mim. É uma pena que, pelo que tudo indica, o estúdio responsável tenha encerrado suas atividades. Depois de terminar o jogo, fiquei com vontade de ver uma sequência que expandisse as ideias apresentadas aqui. Recomendo especialmente para quem gosta de jogos de ação focados em parry, leitura de movimentos dos inimigos e lutas desafiadoras contra chefes. [hr][/hr] I earned all achievements in Echoes of Yi: Samsara in 58 hours, and overall I had a very positive experience. The combat system is easily the game's biggest strength. Even though I don't have the best reflexes, I really enjoyed the parry mechanics and the sense of progression that came from learning enemy attack patterns. It's one of those games that actually made me want to play Sekiro even more, since it's the obvious inspiration and puts an even greater emphasis on parrying. Another highlight was the technical stability. Throughout my entire playthrough, I didn't experience a single crash or any major bugs that affected the experience, which is always something I appreciate. The game isn't perfect, though. I found it relatively short, and the graphics are not among its strongest aspects. They get the job done, but they're unlikely to impress anyone looking for cutting-edge visuals. Even so, the combat is so enjoyable that it more than makes up for those shortcomings. It's a shame that the studio behind the game appears to have shut down. After finishing it, I found myself wishing for a sequel that could expand on the ideas introduced here. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys action games focused on parrying, learning enemy patterns, and challenging boss fights.
Impressionantemente BOM, apesar da tradução não estar das melhores é um jogão INDIE pra quem curtiu SEKIRO.
Une agréable suprise ! Ce jeux se situe quelque part entre Wuchang et Sekiro, avec un éventail de pouvoirs, armes, accessoires assez large, des combats de boss épique basé sur le contre et esquive ( principalement le contre ), et même une difficulté ajustable pour les personnes souhaitant simplement jouer à un jeux sympathique sans se prendre la tête. Des cinématiques très bien réalisées, des graphismes tout à fait correcte, alors certes la traduction FR est un peu approximative, mais reste très correcte et le jeux étant traduit en français et autres langues, on ne peut que valider cet effort ! ( merci aux développeurs ). J'ai cru comprendre qu'il s'agissait de la première partie du jeux ( Part 1 ), donc si une seconde partie existe, je fonce sans hésiter ! Je recommande vivement ce jeux !
Bom demais, aguardando a parte 2
if you fk with wuchang or sekiro check this out
После сайлент хилла Ф хотелось экшена с холодным оружием и наткнулся на это и моя первая игра, где собрал все достижения!!! Опыт с соулсами в хронологии: 1) секиро 2) ниох 2 3) Пиноккио (лайз оф пи) Так вот Самсара на мой взгляд идеальная ознакомительная игра в этом жанре, с которой стоит начинать своё знакомство. Были разного рода сложности из-за отсутствия гайдов, но хотя бы есть пара добрых людей, кто стримил прохождение и спасибо вам! Мелкие баги есть, типа провалиться в декорации, в остальном замечаний нет, всё понравилось, рекомендую. 8 из 10
好诡异,真的,不太推荐
good game
If you're looking to scratch that Sekiro itch then don't sleep on this game. It does pose a challenge in terms of combat. Story is whatever, but combat is solid for sure!
