Deviator - All Early Access Bosses (No Damage)

[@person_on_the_internet_]

this looks strangely similar to another game that I can’t put my finger on…

[@CrankyTemplar]

I felt pretty hollow thinking about that same thing last night.

[@person_on_the_internet_]

@@CrankyTemplar for being called “the deviator” it doesn’t actually deviate much does it?

[@CrankyTemplar]

We can only hope that despite a similar starting point that it deviates more afterwards.

[@A13_Mk1]

I know right? It really bugs me, though i have no Quirrel- i mean Quarrel with them for it.

[@RëD_ïs_SüS]

Sure you can copy my homework, but make sure you change it a little bit.

[@PoopiePantZ1234]

well they did change it, alittle bit.

[@ja-cup881]

This ain't deviating from shit

[@whitewolf082]

Hollow knight + Nine sols = Deviator

[@Radu-dh9tb]

I dont think they got any ispiration from nine sols only from hollow knight

[@sprinklepuke6362]

a small other game called "hollow knight" stole from this btw

[@CrankyTemplar]

I can't believe Team Cherry would do such a thing.

[@sprinklepuke6362]

plagiarism 😮‍💨

[@YRUSJR2]

If I had a nickel for every time a Hollow Knight inspired metroidvania came out, I'd actually probably have a lot of nickels.

[@vladi3862]

games inspired by hollow knight are cool, but this is just a copy

[@GutenChad]

You gave them names! I just called them "first boss" "second boss" etc xd

[@CrankyTemplar]

Hey, part of the fun of joking about the borrowed inspiration is naming the bosses something referring a certain game.

[@TheGAMERGOD1720]

Just picked this game up myself. Fun Fact: The only achievement for this game is called “NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_NAME_01” so that’s pretty cool.

[@lubodimitrov8778]

Is the boss of the city of machines available in early access?

[@CrankyTemplar]

These were all the bosses I found in early access so far. One of them is in the city of machines.

[@spidey5558]

"Elder Who"? Come on, they didn't even try with that one?

[@CrankyTemplar]

I made up the names as a joke.

[@spidey5558]

@@CrankyTemplar OH, I see that now. I honestly would've really liked if these were the actual names, though. At least the game would've been self-aware.

[@CrankyTemplar]

That would be funny. For now though I just prefer poking fun at the borrowed inspiration.

[@V0RTA]

Tired of waiting for silksong, this game should keep you waiting longer.

[@nitrosix3206]

I didn't even know this game existed. Artstyle aside, it looks like they made an effort on making the game feel different, bosses looks unique and fun, too. But what did you think?

[@person_on_the_internet_]

@@nitrosix3206 it’s hollow knight. Even the bosses look like they’re in hollow knight

[@person_on_the_internet_]

@@nitrosix3206 there was a animation in the game that was literally just the unlocking ability animation from hollow knight

[@CrankyTemplar]

The gameplay is pretty good so far but I'm not so sure they'll really distance themselves aesthetically from hollow knight for folks to be happy. I don't personally care myself but will totally joke about it.

[@Radu-dh9tb]

The first boss is literaly the hunter

[@nitrosix3206]

@@Radu-dh9tb yeah LOL but we never had a hunter boss fight and it does look like they put effort on the bosses' at least

[@myhairhasamindofitsown]

Such a shame that the game is dragged down so much by the whole... "referencing" thing (also, on that final boss, the aerial AoE isn't Identical to Eviterno's aerial AoE attack from his second phase?). Because it has interesting and cool concepts brewing behind it. Since it's an early acces I hope that in the future the devs can add more original sprites and assets.

[@CrankyTemplar]

Shhh, don't mention that or they'll said that's Blasphemous too. Jokes aside, I'm looking to see where the full game goes. I just also hope they make more original stuff.

[@alexsilva-vv1dj]

MAN THIS BULL you have 100k subs yet 93 came to watch it should be way higher

[@CrankyTemplar]

I appreciate the concern but it's nothing to worry about. Almost all of my videos start slow with views and plenty have ended up doing well. And even if it doesn't it's no big deal, I had fun learning the bosses and that's what matters.

[@leosmith-moores1213]

Not a Hollow Knight clone.
