[@Damiv]

Excited to try this out once it hits Steam.

[@Cuestrupaster]

On Steam there's a game with very close idea called Soulslinger, for what I've read it's better, but take it with a pinch of salt, haven't played any of the two.

[@superpatoreviews8167]

@@Cuestrupaster SULFUR is even closer to this one but you have to get into their Discord to try to get alpha access.

[@NILBOG13]

@@Cuestrupaster Thanks for the tip.

[@UnknownRex]

Yeah, if it comes to steam I am interested, if not well, I won't buy it xD

[@SirKickz]

@@UnknownRex The devs have said it's their intention to release on Steam once they're out of Early Access, so it should, eventually.

[@abluecardigan]

the game's very good and they've got a blog going back years detailing their design philosophy, in case that's a thing you're interested in. also, it's the dudes from bulletstorm and painkiller making it, so that's cool.

[@timothyhansen6581]

"I've had Streamers tell me they bet their wives on how long it takes me to mention 'Escape from Tarkov,' so this time I'm NOT going to do it." A...few...moments...later... "...a game like Tarkov..." ...Doh!

[@MrNotcody]

This game is great a few notes. you can unlock the shop where you can buy consumable ammo The bolty you need to hold your shots for more damage Spam your spell to save ammo The orb reveals targets to hit kill 3 for a reward The epic thing blows but the game is worth it honestly

[@DavidWBIII]

Always love your content my friend and always value what you think of games. I do think similarly and always appreciate the time you take to make the content. This game is AMAZING AND I LOVE IT!!! It is a hard game too. Thank you for covering it!!

[@DemMedHornene]

Can't wait to try this... when it hits Steam

[@iamvigant]

ye I was like, Oh, this looks decent, wait wth.. is it.. an epic exclusive???

[@BitOBear]

Soap bubble floating with book on the ground thing... Whenever you were crossing over it, those arcane lines started to form under your feet. I think you have to stand or crouch there right under where the soap bubble appears while facing the book. Like I think you're supposed to spend some time there like 10 seconds or 15 seconds "studying the book". If nothing happens once all the lines fill in, try looking around without moving to see if it's highlighting something on the map for you or something. And check the map before and after maybe. But it's definitely something you have to do by standing still right in the center of that area. Not certain but it's a trope-fitting guess

[@BitOBear]

You might have to keep your targeting rectacle on it while standing there long enough for that arcane symbol to finish forming.

[@hirudo881]

SPOILER AHEAD! Actually, looking through it reveals small "puppet" things in the environment you have to shoot, like 4 or 5 or so.

[@damiengrief]

Hope this hits Steam after early access. Will pick it up then.

[@igorthelight]

Most Epic Games exclusives became available on Steam after a year ;-)

[@prototype102010]

@@ApexWarrior848 Performance isn't great, logging in is a nightmare. But on the plus side they have a lot of free games.

I don't know why but I get Hellgate: London vibes from this game.

[@archdrone]

Sad he didn't say "Its like a 3D Zero Sievert"

[@nvidiaplay]

good thing he didnt - zero sievert devs literally kill their own game with stupid decisions

[@LukeViljoen]

@@nvidiaplay What changed?

[@nvidiaplay]

@@LukeViljoen they added some stupid things like shotguns not being able to shoot at range,semi auto rifles have spread that makes them bad at close range and stuff

[@insertaunnombreaqui]

is it? I mean I was interested in zero sievert, but that game seems more deep with its mechanics

[@nickpetrossi2008]

Zero Sievert is an amazing game. Dont listen to this guy. That game will give you plenty of "oh sh#t" moments. Lots of "pucker factor" in zero sievert, which is what makes it so good:)

[@Teleport73]

The improvement here is impressive. Props to the devs. I'd like to see a mode for some Hell Divers type co-op here.

[@RobertSmith-gu7qo]

I was interested in this game thanks to your initial video, but it fell off my radar. Thanks for putting it back on my list.

[@zacharycunningham7669]

you circle around the bubbles while in a trance state, and shoot through it when you find the hidden targets that can only be seen through the bubble.

[@kylebailey7999]

You can buy ammo resupplies from a merchant unlocked through the corridor of red sparks in the hermitage. Also if you're struggling with the first boss try the Hangfire revolver paired with Bile Cyst light spell.

[@ttsymphonyg]

Love the theme and action on this game. Glad to see it played here again.

[@CaptApocalypse]

Looks rad. Hoping for a Steam release before too long.

[@cameronglunt6466]

it's a small team, so I bet they'll be in early access for quite a while, but I'm super excited for it to come out. It's a really fun game!

[@Tonaldo90]

Its just launcher, true gamer doesnt care

[@ivokucher3660]

If they ever decide to release it on Steam, I'll buy it, otherwise I'll forget this exists.

[@AngryJesus1]

8:50 State of Gaming right there. Indy > AAAA

[@tobbe1980]

I spent 35 hour in the first early access release. Really awesome game with good graphics and gameplay. Excited to try this update out ...

[@cameronglunt6466]

I'm not too sure why it matters if it's on Steam or not for so many people, i have it, and it's really cool. I doubt it would play differently on Steam, I could understand if people didnt want to buy it because it was in early access, that would make sense to me. Some peoples loyalty to Steam amazes me

[@eneco3965]

It's good to have player choice.

[@l0rdfr3nchy7]

I just booted this back up and i agree, the new player experience is much improved, very important changes to progression all around.

Shame this is on the Epic store and not Steam as well, definitely looks interesting.

This game looks so dope. I can't wait to grab it up and slay some witches.

[@DanielSagel-iy6ck]

Omg, I didn't expect It to develop at all tbh, because a friend told me that most of the early access games wouldn't attract enough people to move on. Because I'm still pretty new to gaming this was one of my first if not the first game I actually bought. I thought I didn't made progress because I'm a noob and It was at ,,normal'' difficulty comparing it to demanding games such as dark souls, of which I've heard is one of the most difficult games there are (never played it before).

[@petermead8229]

Love from the UK brother - thanks for the intelligent, useful, smart and funny content - I don't even play games, just enjoy the commentary!

[@Bishop1664]

Looks cool. I remember seeing the trailers for this a while back and wondered where it got to! Now I know, epic store.. Hopefully we'll see it on steam someday! Also, do we know if its possible to disable the damage numbers on hit? Ive never been a fan of that

[@jayes5066]

this is now on my radar. this is an unreal game that works in UEVR. wish it was on steam tho

[@nidhoggcrowley]

Will def pick this up.. once it hits steam.

[@mattstyles2498]

The big issue was how punishing the damage fall off was with that revolver too. Enemy were way to dangerous to get close to but u did no damage when at a safe distance.

[@AeonSaint]

The setting kinda reminds of of the action movie "Hansel & Gretel". :D Looks pretty cool.

[@akuokami1677]

I see you using the bolt action rifle and the animation looks smooth and the sound is good, is there a mag fed semi auto rifle in the game?

Looks like a first person Grim Dawn. That's a very good thing.

[@WolfSamurai]

This looks awesome, shame it's only on Epic right now. I'd at least wishlist it so I could grab it sometime down the road if it were on Steam.

[@foolthecube6060]

I liked the revolver. I do like the design of the weapons and the detail to the map and landscape is very fun. Is there more story to this or cut scenes? or is this more like Fallout where there IS story but basically you just do you? Also I hope I hope there will be more work on creating an array of enemies not just similar design repeated but upgraded. They should take some more inspiration from OG doom and The Suffering. I think I preferred it at original difficulty they just should give more weapon or magical edges to be made or found. More mechanics to building, upgrading items or magic collection or enhancement almost Last of Us style would be perfect.

[@PedroPaes2862]

This bolt action rifle is so satisfy.

[@dracula5752]

hope it comes to steam soon

ThankYou SirSpla77

[@bigwheezy9045]

Do we know if/when this game will come on Steam?

[@SirKickz]

For folks who are waiting for a Steam release: the devs have stated that they will release on Steam once they are out of early access. It sucks, but for what it's worth, they've been happy with how Epic has treated them.

[@Cosmic_A.A.]

I remember watching the teaser 6 years ago, I thought that this game was cancelled and forgotten about it.

[@standbyfortitanfall8899]

For the boss fight you just need to ignore the adds. its a waste of ammo and you can just run lapse around the arena, they are pretty slow.

[@StephenCroome]

This game has one of the best starting feelings to a game - it feels amazing. But as you get into it they have made some weird choices that make the game hard to play unless you know some really counterintuitive things about how they have designed it. This is a game about leveling where you basically shoouldnt level otherwise you screw yourself. They need to fix this game dynamic and this will become one of the best fps games

[@Viper6332]

cant wait till this launches into 1.0 and is on steam it looks decent a lot like remnent 1

[@Wastelandman7000]

So...essentially Priest mixed with Witch Hunter. Sounds good.

[@Shaeuwu]

it does feel allot like remnant 2 if it was a rougelite, not sure if it will while playing it but at least from watching the gameplay thats my vibe.

[@another_blacktomcat]

Oh well. lets wait till it releases on steam....

[@XShrike0]

This seems like the non-PvP version of Hunt: Showdown that I have seen people ask for. Although it doesn't appear to have coop, so that is a mark against it.

[@danielkowalski7527]

worth playing already or w8 another year? ^^

[@SavolX]

I wish they made an epic dark fantasy rpg with these visuals, style and atmosphere, instead of a shooter. Oh well.

[@telzen8774]

Ah nice timing on the video. I saw the previous video and had been thinking about this game again lately but couldn't remember what it was called, definitely going to pick it up. Ah not on steam, no wonder I couldn't find it.

I'd buy this game today if it was on steam

[@chriskeach1908]

Hint for those playing it for the first time, get to level 10 and then go about unlocking your guns and gear, if you level up your character that is what increases the difficulty, levelling up your guns is easier at lower character levels... thats what I found, that and those armored genadiers are a PITA 🤬

[@bladechild2449]

This game is a perfect example of why devs shouldn't take the epic deal. Barely anyone knew this existed and was in EA.

[@bookmanjeb7238]

Looks good but not interested on epic store.

[@Izawwlgood]

The tantrum that is this brand loyalty to a streaming platform is weird. I picked it up on Epic to play it and it has been a blast. If you don't want to, ok, you don't have to!

[@Lovyxia]

I would buy it on epic if it wasn't the same store that peddles and allows NFT shovelware scams and since the game isn't published by epic so it'll be available elsewhere eventually. The Epic store makes Steam look like they have quality standards when all Steam does is ban Crypto and AI generated assets because on Epic you can even find reuploads of stolen open source games made to peddle NFTs. It's a shame good games get locked to a storefront that sells scammier videogames than even Steam which used to be controversial for lowering contribution standards.

[@GoodEggGuy]

Epic pay their dev bills while it's EA, offsetting sales lost (and then some). They get to round out the rough edges without being in the spotlight and then make a big launch for 1.0 on Epic and Steam. I can see why small devs might take that deal.

[@DrunknMonkee]

Think alot of people know about it and hate Epic - we are just waiting for the Steam release

[@troutfish8590]

People didn’t like the revolver? That is weird, it is my favorite weapon in the game. It reminds me of the Halo CE pistol and getting headshots with it is stupid satisfying.
