Looks very interesting reminds me a bit of witchfire. Like to see more gameplay maybe a little commentary included. You guys seem to understand what going on currently in the gaming world. we need new fresh exciting games that's innovative takes risks to do something different not the same old boring shooters with dumb a.i. bullet sponge enemies.

They separately included "apex legends" and "call of duty" so that means none of these people worked at Infinity Ward when it made the original MW2 or at Respawn when they made Titanfall. They're probably just leeches grabbing at the coattails of giants.

[@l0rdfr3nchy7]

You don't brag about your workforce if you have a good game on your hands. "Developers of Call of Duty" could mean there's one dude that used to work at Activision on the reloading sounds for one month on the team.

[@sparda9060]

@@l0rdfr3nchy7 Thats the reason why they don't put names of those developers lol they just put in name of dev team to use as marketing branding basically. 2024 marketing in a nutshell lol

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Quality looks to be all over the place. Art style and graphics look great for the most part, but the animations and lighting look really scuffed. I don't trust any company that feels the need to focus a huge part of their marketing on the fact that they've supposedly got devs who worked on other huge projects. We've seen how that turns out with games like Callisto Protocol. If there's merit to their workforce, then why does the game's visuals feel so polarizing and scuffed? With animations like that, I can't imagine that the gameplay is gonna feel good. They should just focus on making the game look and feel fun rather than focusing on eye candy graphics and glaring lighting. If you've got all of these devs from big name studios, then where's the quality in both visuals and gameplay?
