Soulstice - Official Combat Gameplay Overview

[@tacocatzero3541]

The rapture state gives me strong Claymore vibes, wouldn't be surprised if the game is influenced by it. Also combat doesn't look bad but not fluid. Keeping an eye on this one.

[@morriganrenfield8240]

It definitely is inspired by claymore and beserk

[@Dwish305]

The creators said they’re huge fans of both and they took heavy inspirations from both when making the game. Just with that alone I’m going to support them.

[@ludwigallen7197]

Blonde girl, big sword, beasts and that Rapture state. Obviously Claymore inspired.

[@deusvult6938]

dude the whole mc looks like a genderbend guts

[@ThirdPlaceEntertainment]

Literally the only issue is the impact when fighting enemies. The audio needs to be more in your face and the enemies need to react more to being hit other than that this looks really dope

[@MrDarkatW]

But It looks and sounds way better than Lost Soul Aside.

[@kinoleogeo7998]

It be kinda rad to hear choir with dub for its music, kinda like if Dark Souls Boss Music had a baby with MGR chord progressions.

[@cncfreak46]

yeah and the hit lag effect seems a little long

[@Hiphoplakill147]

The game is not out yet and they want to put the sound they want it there choice this is just the beta test

[@Soluscide]

@@Hiphoplakill147 And it's our choice on whether or not we'll buy it (:

[@svanir7619]

I'm getting Berserk, Devil May Cry, and Lords of Shadow vibes from this one, definitely not a bad thing. Going to love to see a modern action game not be another soulsclone.

[@natecoet3291]

Lacks impact on hit and the enemies are very stiff. Would be great if the enemies tried hitting you rather than stand there. Seems like there waiting to get hit. Otherxise seems like cool ideas displayed.

[@reckless5834]

My thoughts as well, looks nice but your attacks dont seem to have any real punch to them.

[@rarabryant]

Its probably on easy difficulty

[@yifeipei5484]

yes, the combat feeling is like hitting the air

[@JMrealgamer]

Yes enemy reaction is very important. This is a small developer but still this can make or break combat.

[@Oblivion262]

Yea I'd like more satisfying enemy reactions to getting hit, rather than them kind of freezing/vibrating. And fully agreed, they kinda just stand there waiting their turn to get hit, other than that it's really interesting and unique

[@mohamedbety986]

I’m happy how the developers were open about how they inspired this game from berserk and claymore hopefully one day they get shot at doing an actual berserk game it would be so cool if that happens one day 😢

The sound is a little Off on the impact. It sounds like the enemy is blocking every attack and it’s not very satisfying if that makes sense. Other than that I’m on board!

[@djenime7296]

She looks like Guts from Berserk, (makes sense how they got inspired by it) but female version. And the combat looks like from DmC(Reboot)

[@Deadmare]

more closer to claymore, armor looks like berserk but the lady and her transformation and the story is way closer to claymore . to be expected as both berserk and claymore was inspirations for the game

[@ltcrescent4011]

I'm really liking Briar's design, looks like it takes heavy inspiration from Gut's design from Beserk, with the greatsword, black armour and even down to the eyepatch on the right eye. Nice to see Beserk getting the recognition it deserves in western media

[@NeoWorm]

Plus having a small spirit girl as companion.

Character Action Games are probably my favourite genre of video game, so I'm hella excited to play this.

[@m4shsmash8]

if you're a character action fan you should've seen how underwhelming this game is

[@thenegromancer4695]

This looks absolutely fun to play at 2:02 you can do pause combos which is when you wait a second then press other buttons to do different moves. In the Devil may cry reboot your sword will flash when your pause was successful just like it is here.

[@JohnWickWitStix]

In Horizon forbidden west Alloys spear tip flashes when you have paused at the right moment to do moves also

[@plastikloser]

Given how berserk inspired her design an main weapon are, Id expect more of that massive impact and blood from her combat. Not sparks and flash, needs more polish but looks like it has potential

The art direction is superb. My only observation is that the combat lacks "weight". Your character wields a massive sword that feels likes nothing when you hit the enemies. Is just a smash buttons festival.

[@kmlopmk88uk47]

this is like bayoneeta.. or devil may cry (last game) but this time it is a hard core nun, that it is the female version of GUTS in berserk

@Greaterios Hunter That's... not copying dark souls most of the time tho. People relate everything to those games now, when those playstyles have been around from before those games (and are often vastly different). Also like, what do you mean by borrowing mechanics? Fuckin attacking and dodging?

[@EinsamPibroch278]

This reminds me so much of Knights Contract, where one is the Muscle and the other is the Magic Cannon. Instead of an Immortal Knight (Heinrich) escorting a delicate Witch (Gretchen), they cut out the Escort Mission funk by making the Witch (Lute) incorporeal, and just giving the health bar to the Knight (Briar) anyway. The monsters and cutscenes look so beautiful too. It's not so "Anime" in look, and is in fact made by an Italian Studio! What a pleasant surprise!

The Sword looks like it been influenced by Berserk, and the Raptor mode looks Claymore influenced heavily. The Sister Ghost is hilarious, she looks cute, but her voice is clearly an actress who is an adult told to talk like a little girl. They could make it more fluid in the sister combat, but it looks like the blacksmith ran out of iron and steel for briar armor

[@OMegShiff]

The game looks great. Love the combat and the movement. Character Action games have been few and far apart, it's nice to see a new and promising one. Tired of all the "souls-like" games being pumped out. There are a lot of comments about how little impact the hits look like they have and enemies just standing around waiting to get hit. Don't forget devil may cry has a similar combat feel. Medium to heavy enemies don't react to every attack, and hit stun happens with heavy attacks and enders. Not saying they are exactly the same as they are two different experiences, minus the "Rapture" state, that's just a DT lol, but the feel is pretty similar from what it looks. The game seems to have pretty hefty attacks that look like they feel satisfying.

Feedback: Its kinda hard to see the main character, it blends with the background since everything is mostly grey or black and the sister is big and blue/green and stays in the back of the controlled character.
