The Devil Within: Satgat

除了动画僵硬以外，别的没什么问题，战斗也不错，而且随时可以洗点

Es un juego divertido aunque el gameplay es algo lento para ser un ninja, los diálogos se sienten muy millenial para el tipo de cultura que representa y la narrativa requiere más profundidad.

Любопытная игра с корявым сюжетом, но интересным геймплеем Прошёл на высокой сложности почти целиком. Сгорел на последнем боссе. Остальные честные и спокойно проходятся на любой. Главное помните, что при идеальном парировании и увороте супер-удары разные. Достать кибер-голову на цепях, парящую вверху, можно ударом по дуге после идеального уворота, но не получится атаками после парирования. В остальном нет ничего невозможного. Только душное 7 из 10. Неплохо на Steam deck, интересный геймплей, сюжет звёзд с неба не хватает

A bit mixed, but overall a definite recommend. First, it's got one of if not the best combat system in a metroidvania I've played (and I've played a few dozen now). However, the enemy design is not so perfect, so while you can have some amazing moments in it, you'll also have some frankly not great moments in it too. As a result, gameplay is it's strong point, with some amazing highs, but also some mediocre periods and one outright negative boss. Length, it's kinda short, not too long though not too short either I'd say. However it does definintely kinda rely on you challenging the bosses memories to replay them (and possibly on hard difficulty) to help pad things out a bit. If you don't, you should still beat it on normal just fine and frankly within eight hours probably if not trying to 100% things. I did find myself doing the memories, from level 1 to 9 each time getting a bit harder. There are nice rewards from them, but the gameplay is at least for a few of them the core reason, as some of these fights are quite good to learn and get the dance down. When the enemy has enough health, and deals enough damage you have to learn it, rather than just facemashing through it with a bit of basic skill, it can be nice as that's often one of the issues I have in other games, a boss was too easy and I never even learned all their moves fully... If you want to do a lvl 9 here, that probably wont be the case... The first two memory bosses are mostly good to great, the third is... a gimick of sorts that makes it the worst of them, and the fourth is alright, but not great or anything. Only the final boss in each location has this re fighting feature by the way, there's a few other bosses beyond them of coarse, including the games final boss situation. Story, this is the part a lot of people might just quit the game on startup from. The opening cinematic is bad, questionable voices, horrible lighting and glare and focus, feels really ameteur hour, and unclear. The starting cutscenes have shoddy voices and active with iffy animations and timings... felt pretty bad, I can see some people dropping this game after that intro in the first few minutes thinking it's just cheap and not good. Push through the tutorial! It gets better and is worth it! Story wise, cinematic moments and most dialogue moments are just kinda bad throughout the game, but you'll still learn the story ok for the most part. The story itself is ok, not great, not bad. And while the writing on some characters feels off or stiff or forced, or just poorly timed voices (maybe tranlsation timing issues for stuff sometimes), at least I found the more regular chats with your personal demon rather nice. Some good banter and character there that feels fairly like real people and was actually quite good at times. Art. Ok, not great... 3d style some people dont like. It's not super generic, but not super standout either. Decently unique art assets, locations, for the most part it works just fine for the game and doesn't feel bad, but nothing stands out as wow. Music is ok, not really standout either. Sound and audio is often decently well done though. The biggest issue here is the visual noise in some fights. When there's 3 lightning pillars, a boss that throws a big lightning attack in addition, and you had remnants from a counter move on screen.. you can literally not even see your own character or the enemy boss sometimes. This was a reacurring issue I found on many bosses, where the core fight is super tight and awesome, yet sometimes you just can't see do to excess visual clutter, and the 3d world meaning attacks/moves/enemies can completely block or cover your own character. The second from final boss of the game does this a LOT, and was the only fight I outright disliked, because it does this to an insane amount I have to question majorly what happened in that bosses development/testing. For the others, it's an annoyance sometimes, but not ruinous or anything, but with that second last boss, it frankly kinda is. Many small issues or oddities that just lack polish, like monster box enemies spawning instantly (even the spiky ones or ones that can attack near instantly meaning you take damage right as they appear, with no warning where they would appear beforehand), and other odd issues. A few cases of collisions, a few minor bugs, a few rare inputs issues, and some problems with a few boss designs that might leave spots you can't 100% no hit through with skill alone (without in one case making the fight take probably 20+ minutes at least). Honestly think more polish on this game could have made it be one of the greats, but as it is, it definintely is rather rough in many areas. Still, the core of it's combat system is amazing, and when it was executed and works well it's some of the best out there. So I do recommend it to people who like good combat, and challenging bosses. There are difficulty options if you don't want that, but honestly without the combat, the games a bit... meh... I will be, if nothing else, looking forward to any new games made by these devs, and possibly an future big updates for this game should they pop up.

The Devil Within: Satgat is a 2d platformer/metroidvania about a dude dealing with a parasite infestation. Beat it and 100%ed achievements in 16 hours. Difficulty can be set in game; for the most part I played on Easy. Gameplay - You slash a sword and shoot a gun. You find upgrades to get to places you couldn't before. Yup, it's like a Metroidvania. Had no problems with controls, and enjoyed the gameplay. It's really addictive. Story - Entertaining. You fight demons while talking to the voice in your head during breaks. Atmosphere - There's an apocalyptic vibe of Satgat with both futurist and past elements involved. It gave me this Shinobi-meets-ResidentEvil vibe that I really liked. Cutscenes/dubbing - Cutscenes had a weird flicker/stutter to them that was really distracting, and I'm wondering if watching it in window mode might help (never tested it). Some voice cast members took freaking forever to grate their lines out. Other voices sounded robotic in general, like they weren't paid enough. I swore for a second they used AI to voice it, but there's an actual cast of people involved. Satgat and his imaginary friend had a good voice/whisper overall, though, so it was passable at best, damaging to the enjoyment of the game at worst. You can skip ahead lines with a button click. Lore - Through the game are hidden bites of lore. Reading about what happened and immersing in the world brought a level of fullness to The Devil Within that was nice. Wish the lore was listed newest-at-the-top because if you don't hit Select fast enough you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom every time. Music - I liked part of the soundtrack, but some of it didn't feel like it fit and other parts were loud over cutscenes. It appears Musai was used for a chunk of it (as listed in the final credits). And if that's the Musai I think it is, that means AI was used on some of the music. So I wont be supporting the OST. Do I recommend The Devil Within: Satgat? Gotta admit that I went into this expecting a terrible game based on some of the negative reviews. Yet outside of maybe the English dubbing lacking a bit, there was nothing 'clunky' in the controls and everything played pretty smoothly. Addictively, even. If you like Metroidvanias, you have nothing to lose here. It's a full game with sword-swinging, monster-killing mayhem. You level up, you find new abilities, you search the map for everything. Or you don't and whip through things quicker. This is a great Metroidvania to jog through on a weekend. :D

Хороший динамичный экшен/метройдвания. Правда метройдвании тут не много - но мне все равно игра очень понравилась. Был один баг - когда падаешь в пропасть с платформы которая может исчезать темнеет экран после возвращения на поверхность. Боёвка мне понравилась - иногда правда после обычного блока ты хочешь следующую атаку спарировать часто это не получается а иногда получается когда не должно было(возможно это лично моя проблема). Всем любителям динамичного 2д экшена с толикой метроидвании очень советую.

看到还有评价说比丝之歌好的我真是看笑了。丝虽然没难度选项但是手感好太多了。 我是不太理解这游戏制作组的想法，既然设计了这么多招式，你设计精力条是干什么的，打招式耗气力，闪避耗，你以为精力条很长吗，战斗方面完全不如16年的艾希。还有敌人后撤步是什么鬼，你有丝之歌那种飞针技能吗？又不能边走边平A，打一下敌人往后退打不到，天上飞的就更恶心了，特别是喷子弹的，这主角二段跳都不一定能A到怪。还有这游戏的闪避也怪怪的，先不说这种后撤步和冲刺融为一体还不能像尘埃异变那种关掉后撤步的设计简直折磨人，就冲刺有时候冲不过去是什么玩意，冲完遇到怪攻击加上气力条耗尽可真是无语死了。还有敌人虽然有攻击提示但是快慢刀。总而言之战斗体验中的槽点真是太多了，虽说前面几个boss感觉还有点爽，但是到那个PZ0-2000BOSS更是笑死我了，这主角有无敌帧吗？被子弹射到后几乎必定受到后面的伤害。还有蹬墙跳什么玩意，做个正常爬墙能死吗？逼格大于手感这一块。还设计一堆跳跳乐。你真是无敌了

3/5。没有最后两个大粪怪是能给4分的

Jogo bom q faz passar raiva kkkk mais insano é o criador sem noção colocar pra matar o mesmo boss 9 vezes cada boss para pegar tudo no jogo , q merda q é isso viu . Parece q começaram a fazer bem feito e pro final perderam as paciências e fico chato e muito repetitivo ainda mais matar os boss um monte de vez com dificuldades diferentes , ta certo podia por 3 , normal, hard e very hard , 9 vezes pqp kkk mais ta bom foi uma boa experiência .

Very good. Beware, though: it's not a metroidvania. It's a 2.5D Souls-like where you sometimes get traversal upgrades.
