Echoes of Yi: Samsara hält bei der Stange und macht Spaß. Die Gebiete sind abwechslungsreich und bieten einige versteckte Items zum Verbessern (Gesundheit, Stärke und Flasks). Ein paar Bosse sind doppelt vorhanden, allerdings meist mit ein paar Änderungen bei Statuseffekten und -schaden. Für mich ist das Spiel klar von Sekiro beeinflusst. Das Kampfsystem funktioniert gut, auch die Parry-Mechanik. Rote unblockbare Angriffe und auch der Stoß-Konter wurden integriert. Das wurde alles stimmig zusammengepackt und macht dadurch viel Spaß. Gegnervielfalt ist vorhanden, einige werden allerdings auch gern öfter verwendet. Das fällt, für mich zumindest, nicht sonderlich negativ auf. Optisch und vom Umfang her kann es mit seinem großen Vorbild nicht mithalten, das macht in meinen Augen aber auch nichts. Ich konnte während des Spielverlaufs zu früh in ein durch 8 Schlüssel abgesperrtes Gebiet springen (kein Glitch) und einen optionalen Boss bekämpfen, der eigentlich erst für das Ende des Gebiets gedacht war. Den Schwierigkeitsgrad habe ich als sehr moderat empfunden. Viele Bosse lagen nach dem ersten Versuch, bei ein paar beim zweiten. Einer oder zwei waren für mich etwas aufwendiger, ich habe mich allerdings auch sehr doof angestellt. Technisch lief das Spiel soweit ohne Probleme, bei mir gab es auch keine Abstürze. Klare Empfehlung für Spieler, die Lust auf ein Sekiro-Lite haben.
Grafik ist soweit okay, Erkundung und Bosse sind gelungen, das Parry Schwertgameplay ist natürlich absolut gelungen, es macht einfach Spaß, und für kleines Geld n cooles Parry Fight Actiongame.
5/5 game! for the price, excellent. the game is therapeutic to play and is very nice to run through. Some bosses even hold a great challenge(Red Lotus Buddha). The developers really made something special. Thanks for a great game at a great price! Future games could definitely hold potential!
