[work in progress] [h1]STEELRISING[/h1] [h2]worldbuilding[/h2] [list] [h3]structure[/h3] [*] [u]overall highly immersive (but ultimately superficial) stylization of the French Revolution period through a clockpunk aesthetic[/u] [list] [*] unfortunately, the historical setting is used only as a backdrop for an already self-sustainable plot, rather than as a means of more deeply engaging the player with the era’s historical facts and nuances [/list] [*] [u]very basic storyline (except for surprisingly enjoyable plottwist) with minimally developed background for the player’s own narrative exploration[/u] [*] personally appreciated “Echo item system” unlocking game contents (including new areas and questlines) through the way of discovering key items related to the story of individual characters [*] [u]virtually no impact of dialogue choices/decisions on the gameplay whatsoever[/u] [*] [u]exceptional semi-mission-based corridor design[/u] (with the exception of the Versailles area) [u]with both horizontally and vertically developed topology, effectively balancing the expected complexity of routes with the necessary open-space segments and the sheer amount of shortcuts[/u]⭐ [list] [*] as a result, the process of backtracking as a substantial part of the questlines progression remains tolerable[/list] [*] excellent design option to keep questline guidance optionally active via a compass-type item [*] [u]lacking variety of objectives, all storyline/questline progression essentially consists of locating quest items[/u] [list]= possibly [b]the worst feature of the game[/b]⛔[/list] [*] poorly thought-out design in enabling route choice after first completion of Les Invalides area [list] [*] in La Cité area all Echo items are unmissable (and the game explicitly highlights them through dialogues)[/list] [list] [*] in Tuileries area the game doesnt make players aware of Echoes (and players are therefore unlikely to seek them out, losing the access to additional questlines etc in the playthrough)[/list][/list] [list] [h3]audiovisual design[/h3] [*] [u]visually seamless, thematically coherent, and highly immersive environment design providing uniquely authentic, cinematic experience[/u] - no area breaks the overall visual unity while each still retains its own memorable character [list] = [b]the best feature of the game[/b] (combined with the previously mentioned topological design)⭐[/list] [*] a fitting soundtrack further completing either the serene or combat atmosphere in a renaissance-like manner + enemy attention is always telegraphed through a musical cue [*] [u]noticeably repetitive enemy design[/u] - partly excusable due to the need to preserve thematic visual unity [list] [*] the entire game takes place within different urban districts of Paris; a stronger demand for enemy variety would only arise if the game’s environments themselves were more diverse, which the present theme doesnt require[/list] [*] original and distinctive boss aesthetics x poorly distinguishable male storyline characters (as a thematic consequence - everyone wears a wig) [*] present but very limited character customization [/list] [h2]gameplay[/h2] [list] [h3]movement and combat[/h3] [*] [u]highly immersive souls-like combat dynamics[/u] - player is sufficiently motivated for aggressive playstyle and experimenting with [u]innate high action speed, broad range of movement options/mechanics and stamina reset mechanic[/u] paired together via fast input response [*] however, the demands of such a design are associated with almost negligible, but nevertheless noticeable, shortcomings [list] [*] [u]animation and system are slightly desynchronized, animation transitions are not perfectly flexible, limited animation cancel, slight animation inertia giving the impression of animation drag of individual actions[/u][/list] [list] [*] [u]absence of frame-perfect hitbox consistency[/u] [/list] [list] [*] occasionally poor telegraphing of enemy attacks, combat may rarely seem unpredictable[/list] [*] refreshing verticality and mid-air dimension of movement and combat [*] high character travel speed (whether through sprinting or movement abilities), valuable presence of a primitive parkour interface x sprinting fixed for toggle, less character clingability to the edges of platforms than expected [*] virtually no enemy is designed for vertical exchange attacks or any mid-air interactions [*] [u]overall insufficient adaptation of enemy strength to the player's movement and combat capabilities, quickly resulting in trivial gameplay and powerscrapped playability[/u] [h3]interface[/h3] [*] balanced and sophisticated implementation/gameplay translation of character stats into effects [*] sophisticated and pleasantly centralized shop design [*] crystal clear ingame codex / information storage [/list] [h2]final rating - recommended [7,5/10][/h2] (although liked much more than rated) [list] [*]

在玩之前我就注意到这款游戏的评价很低，刚开始玩的时候还对此产生了疑惑，后来才发现这款游戏真的很无聊 游戏算不上优秀，主要原因有以下几点： 1.地图太浅了，让人没太大的探索欲，箱庭设计没有亮点，总是不断跳跳跳，和蟹蟹那种主要地图围绕跳一跳设计的不同，钢之崛起没有传统箱庭在空间上的纵深，探索起来十分单调 2.boss设计，我没打完剧情，不过打完象为止，这款游戏的boss出招就没有超过5招的，大树守卫那套攻击模组过来都够当最终boss的了。小boss一直在重复，打boss十分枯燥 可玩性很低，因为地图探索无聊，打boss也无聊，剧情围绕法国大革命。 唯一的优点是散装cdk很便宜，我花了6块多买下了基础版

this is an easy souls like game, to veterans of the souls and elden ring games it may feel clunky but for someone new it'll be a good start since blocking is much more favorable

Los jefes no tienen mayor dificultad. Intenta contar una historia que en lo personal, no me intereso, por lo que a mitad de juego opte por saltar todo. Con respecto al combate, es divertido, pero por ser un soulslike, ya que no hay una gran diferencia a lo que ya hay en el mercado. Lo que quiero decir es que si eres fan del género, y ya te quedaste sin soulslikes dale un try a Steelrising.

セールで激安だったので購入。 登場人物が軒並み同じ髪型で、似たような服着て似たようなツラしたおっさんばかりで全く頭に入ってこないのがとにかくしんどかった。 ビルド要素は皆無に等しく、ステ振りは自分が使いたい武器に補正が大きくかかるステに極振り択一と言っても過言ではない。そういう意味では初期武器は筋力、技量に振られていない武器を選択しておくのが良いかもしれない。 生命にステ振りする分には無難だが、持久やその他のステは初期ステから一切振らない方がいい。 最大で２０までステ振り出来るので筋力なら筋力２０を目指しつつ、生命に１０振りくらいを目指すと良い。 特に稼ぎなしで全クリした時のレベルが３７だったので、３５前後ステ振り出来る想定でステ振りは吟味しよう。 武器はクソほど使いにくく最も鈍重な武器で攻略したが、強化していくと強攻撃で一発でダウンとれるようになったりするので一概に重い武器が攻略に適さないとも言い切れない。 なんなら溜め強攻撃でハメ技っぽく攻略できる事もあったし、加えてパリィが出来る武器を選ぶと隙がなく強かった。 全編通して敵が尋常じゃなく硬いのだが、特に終盤は戦うのが億劫になる程ＨＰマシマシの敵ばかりだが鈍重武器の溜め強攻撃なら１，２発で沈められるので割と強武器だと思ったのでおすすめ。 敵の種類が少ないので、途中からずっと同じこと繰り返してるなーみたいな感覚になってくるのでその辺りも含めイマイチな感じだったが、ダクソやったことない人がやるにはちょうどいい塩梅なのかも知れない。 どうしても興味がある方はセールの時に買いましょう！何故かめっちゃ安いです。

I have 0 experience playing souls like games. This is my first. I don't understand why the camera auto locks enemies that are not attacking me, mid fight when other enemies are. Even when locked on the character attacks where they are looking and not the camera. I admit I am not a skilled player. Also the range of attacks and enemies attacks makes no sense. Also the pathing sucks. I and enemies get caught on I don't even know what. Also for some reason the character likes to freeze mid fight with no button interactions working. I have a feeling souls like games are not for me.
