Apparently its a roguelike
It's not a real roguelike until the default movement keys are hjkl.
i had to rebind the keys in caves of qud to this lol. using shift+arrow keys for diagonal just did not work with my brain
How is Quaves Of Cud anyway? I know it's a hugely anticipated release and all, but I haven't heard much from people already familiar with roguelikes. Also I've been up to my beak in UFO 50.
I've only played about 4 hours so far, but what I've played has been really fun! It's a little overwhelming, but these games always are at first. The atmosphere is great, I'm looking forward to better understanding the world because right now I'm just kinda vibing. Combat and exploration feels smooth, and it seems like you have a lot of freedom with how you build your character. I like the mutation system a lot, I've been playing a gunslinger bird guy and I grew a stinger, so now my strat has been to sting things when they get nearby to confuse them and then fly away and shoot them. There's a whole reputation system too which I think I'm gonna really enjoy once it gets rolling and I start making friends and enemies. Also, I was surprised to see there is controller support and it actually feels pretty good! I'm still using keyboard since it's a lot faster, but being able to use a controller will be really nice for days when my hands are hurting. Full disclosure though, I, uhh, acquired the game for free, so that might be influencing my opinion a little bit. Seems like a game I'd be willing to put money down on in the future though, once I have it.
okay maybe i finally like fromsoft
Oh shit this is gonna be the first Fromsoft game I've played since Sekiro
Souls games always have fun coop so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in a game focused on it
