I don't do drugs so this is the next best thing. Also, it's actually an unfinished game and there's a novel unlocked ala Xenogears Perfect Work to explain the ending planned for the game, make sure to read it.
Straight up broken, I tried every fix I could find without anything working. The game simply doesn't work. Save your money.
Sublime. Now I don’t say I will understand the meaning behind water purification from evil but I can bow for this game. Its one of those game that should be in everyone’s library and be played and replayed consensually until you will be reborn. This game will borrows so much from Biblical stories and will fully unravels itself by the end. It follows the steps of third person action game bined with fluid platforming. Interesting it felt more like Bayoneta and yours truly the incarnation of mirror Dante’s inferno. I would say I takes more of that than anything. If only we could be redeemed with pity to have Dante’s inferno on steam then the full circle would be completed in many ways. You’re Enoch and you are trying to return fallen angels with a help of Lucifer. Now this is not as much as complicated than one call from heaven. But believe me you will be tested with the circles of darkness and pain. Some of the names will be familiar some of them will be more esoteric. It truly is you need a knowledge and knowledge you will be given. El Shaddai does and excellent job navigating you through religion themes and being as just a game a the same time. Its kinda hard to explain it but it works. One can attest you this game is absolute gorgeous. Its to beautiful to yours and my eyes. The art style made from a sun and rain and sheltered into hands of creator. Its by far one of the prettiest games I saw in along time. Deus Omnipotens
great remaster, inshallah I'll see a remake in my lifetime
El Shaddai is nearly a hidden gem and needs to be played by everyone , I used to play this game when I had xbox 360 , I was never able to complete the game properly but now i I bought the game on steam and I ddidn't know about the pc port , This game is fancy and best combat mechanics , this game is really ahead of it's time . No other game has multi genre shift like this and very unique of it's elements and ignore the title , it's just doesn't make sense what the game is based on but I still Loved it and 9/10 and i Love lore drop like this . The combat is enjoyable at first, especially with the weapon-switching system, but it can become repetitive over time. The platforming also feels awkward in places, mostly because of the camera and stiff movement. That’s probably the biggest reason people end up loving the atmosphere more than the actual gameplay. My first time with El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and honestly it feels like a forgotten gem. The art direction is incredible, every stage looks like a moving painting. The combat is fun and stylish, even if it gets repetitive later on. It’s not perfect, but the atmosphere, music, and strange beauty of this world make it memorable. It’s a shame more people don’t talk about this game, because it has a unique identity that still stands out today and one day I will 100% this game and complete on hard mode .
Made it to the last couple of boss fights but got tired of the game and gave up. Not worth the time in my opinion. Story was a little too abstract for my tastes though I liked the trippy level designs. The main let-downs are the repetitive devil-may-cry rip-off combat and while I initially liked the mixture of 3D and 2D platforming the fixed camera makes it too hard to judge distance smoothly. It's challenging but not in a fun way, indeed some of the rotating platforms gave me motion sickness, something I've never experienced in a game before.
Been wanting to play El Shaddai for years, sadly it wont boot on my system due to my CPU having E-cores. Tried every solution listed in the forums sadly none of them worked. Makes me pretty sad as I wanted to play El Shaddai for many years, I'll guess I will have to wait until it makes its way to PS5 to finally be able to play it.
11年的老游戏,只是高清化了现在去玩真的没问题吗? 大丈夫,萌大奶!(自信脸) 本作是美术>玩法,战斗系统简洁但并不简陋,有着放在当下,也许未来十几年内也说得上惊艳的美术表现力的的动作游戏。 制作中有来自鬼泣系列的制作人,因此游戏整体战斗风格比较像那一类。但游戏简化了很多可能给玩家带来压力的要素,没有评分系统没有货币系统,画面中去掉一切量表设计,强调像死亡空间的UI一体化表现方式[strike]其实更像魔界村吧就[/strike]那样将血条以装甲破损度来呈现,开荒体验更强调冒险的沉浸感。而就像前面说的那样游戏整体做的都非常友好,简化出招表方便上手,主角还有着无限即时复活的能力,按理来说也不会因为战斗卡关。 随着带来的问题就是游戏战斗体验较为轻度重复,而撑起流程的更多是游戏不断变化的场景与极具风格化的美术表现。可以说就算放在在当今百花齐放的众多游戏中,2011年的《天使之王》依旧有着跨越时间的惊艳画面表现力,作为最大卖点的美术是绝对没有拉下。在游戏中可以看到迷幻风格的表现,有时画面又会从3D变为2D,搭配宏伟史诗的音乐体验还是非常新鲜奇妙的。 相对这些完成度较高的部分来说,游戏最大的缺陷则是未完结的故事。 本身游戏叙事就很碎铺天盖地的迷台词,游戏后续还因为资金问题直接砍了后续剧情导致直接就是未完继续,在游玩时给人更多只是一个氛围作而难以去深入了解故事,变成了一个没头没尾的存在...虽然在这次高清重制版中以小说的方式补充完结了后续剧情(有中文),但这样的续写方式还是未免感觉很残念。 游戏当初在2010年E3展会上的预告PV中的大量迷台词而在网络上爆火(就像开头这句在现在也能看到有人做这个游戏相关的梗),却在正式发售的11年工作室倒闭,游戏也相当冷门...我个人很喜欢这部极具特色的作品,虽然说它是神作不至于,但说这游戏只是个烂梗作而这样被埋没也实在是太可惜了。 虽然但是,最后还是再让我学一下游戏里的迷台词风格: 神在说...(神は言っている… 是时候来玩天使之王,欣赏爆衣大背头皮裤男了...(故作高深的语气
I really admire when games do things that separate them or tell stories in such a vivid way whether it be by artistic representation or literary interpretation. El Shaddai hits this in every regard. As I get older and play the catalog of games of each era I start to understand the way in which they are made and that almost ruins the veil of immersion at times for me. It’s almost like another call of duty game, you know you start to see games that are just simply the same with the engine at its core just with a different texture pack. All of that preamble to say, it is very rare to find a game that is so hungry to push limits and attempt to do something in a genre that often times can be fitting into a box and checking those boxes off. El Shaddai has so many unique mechanics and designs that I am truly amazed. A reoccurring thought that happened when I was playing was how unique and beautiful these level designs are. This game was made on the PS3 in 2011 so you should definitely curb your expectation on how intricate it CAN be. However, on that note it is quite intricate for its age and there are so many one of a kind level designs that truly remind me of the PS3 era. It’s very hack and slashy, and genuinely a good level of difficulty in fights and even platforming. For what the designs are they are quite cool and even if you remove the religious/historical contexts the characters are pretty awesome and the ambiance the environments, there’s like a beautiful scene with stained glass and its just so freaking awesome to experience and see. The enemy designs and boss fights are pretty awesome too, I actually couldn’t wait to see what happens next on each session whether it be how the story progresses or genuinely just the artistic choices of the developers. I know that there are religious contexts to this story and My God, how they make such a beautiful rendition of what could be a very delicate subject. I kind of wish more games did this more openly where they take these touchy subjects and make them into these badass games but I know that’s not where the profit lies. El Shaddai does a wonderful job in being respectful and giving warnings on its inspirations and clearly labeling it as an inspiration. The only thing I didn’t necessarily like was how much interpretation is left in the story, they try very hard to fill you in on the story so you’re able to get the surface level and are able to follow along, but the deeper story you really have to pay attention and even gives you opportunities to do historical research. Regardless, as much as I would have liked a straight forward explanation after digesting the story it’s pretty awesome. Amazing voice acting and performances and emotional energy from the cast. Just such a peak PS3 game, what a beauty to play. The port is kinda sucky but for sure worth the resolution upgrade compared to PS3. It did crash on me and have some strange bugs at times but I chalk that up to a poor port. I am definitely so glad I got this on my steam handheld instead of my switch cause I definitely would have pushed that off for a long time and then to not be able to see that art in 2K res would be doing the artists a disservice. Such an awesome game, exceeded my expectations. Genuinely so crazy I am alive to experience such a work of art. Solid 8.5/10 for me.
es como la interpretacion de la biblia de tu tio pastero
