Fatekeeper

Dark, yet comic at times. Waiting for the full release.

Hope this game will be released in full, 3 hrs playing game remind me (first impression) - Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Old school.

Just cleared the current Early Access build. The graphics and LOD are excellent, and the core combat loop is incredibly fun. I wanted to share a few quick pieces of feedback from my playthrough. First, the ice longsword blade currently looks a bit like blue plastic. It would look much better if it had a rugged, chiseled, refracting ice texture with a frosted look, similar to the style of ice weapons in Skyrim. Second, regarding elemental balance, Frost feels great because it actively slows enemies down and gives you breathing room but leaves floating ice crystals in the air that are hard to see through. And telekinesis is hilarious to pull enemies toward you with. Wind could use more push force since its a slower cast, and Fire feels very underpowered right now unless you manage to hit an enemy standing directly on an oil puddle, similar to environmental traps in BioShock or Skyrim. Third, for character customization, the current stat choices are a good baseline, but I hope future updates bring deeper fine-tuning options like dedicated melee builds, actual dual wielding, more spell/mobility heavy builds, and armor variations. Finally, I noticed heavy framerate drops when running the game with the Ultimate FPS setting enabled. When I manually locked the framerate to 60 FPS, the performance drops ceased completely and the game ran smoothly. Just wanted to share this workaround for other players and your optimization team. Looking forward to seeing more of Kor Guran's backstory in future patches.

My main gripe with UE5 games is that most of them manage to both look bad and run poorly, however this game manages to avoid both: decent level of optimisation coupled with graphics that look like they came straight out of a tech demo (I mean that as a compliment). Music is a bit repetitive at times, but helps create moments such as [spoiler]the first time you see Mar Guran[/spoiler]. Combat is decent, I like the physics aspect of it, however I feel like blocking needs some polish, particularly for ranged attacks since they're a bit frustrating currently. Maybe make blocking arrows frame based so it's sort of a skill check? One more (small complaint) regarding combat: maybe increase cooldown for enemies that throw poison pots, since now they can make a cloud of poison that becomes a bit frustrating to pass. And for a final suggestion/complaint: please add another AA option. FXAA is too jarringly sharp and creates visual artifacts on surfaces, while TAA is too blurry in motion, but looks nice while static. Maybe SMAA? All in all, game is in a great shape even now, and I think it has a bright future if devs keep updating it and adding content. Level designs in the current version are great, and I hope the design philosophy continues in future content.

yeah no

Game is beautiful

Very Nice

While the concept was neat and combat feels good, a lot of works needs put into this before it's ready for anything other than being just another demo. Video optimization just feels awful no matter what graphical settings, anything other than potato, just runs like garbage. Granted I don't have the most RAM in the world but still my god the framerate is just terrible. Story wise there isn't anything here. It's go here and kill a couple guys then move on to the next area. Rat character is cool though I'll give them that. Concept is cool but execution just isn't there so honestly I can't recommend paying for this demo at this point.
