One of My Most Awaited Survival RPGs of the Year - Mirthwood

[@myopickid4180]

10:14 Kill a guy with steal helmet, good shield and sword - Loot: 2 tiny piece of gold and a single leaf

[@GanjaCoyote]

Gambeson is legit armor and not actually that easy to cut through despite what games would lead you to believe about it.

[@Totallynotkyubey]

A sharp edge goes right through. It's better than nothing, but without chainmail over it you really shouldn't consider yourself "armored".

[@JanderStrahd]

Capcom and Square Enix: Magical disintegration wands (swords) clip through armor and instantly one-shot everyone, confirming armor less effective than showing up naked.

[@DoomWalker42]

Definitely gonna grab it during the winter sale. It looks really promising. I wish you could loot their weapons and armour from them. That's one of my favourite parts in open world RPGs. Sadly most modern RPGs want to lock that behind the crafting grind.

This is what saddens me, the combat in these game always falls short, like I know isn't the easiest thng in the world to make a good combat, but isn't the hardest also... it doesn't need to have the best combat ever, just something that's satisfying. ~The game you showed recently, DROVA, is a good example of it.

[@Hamanito]

Yeah everything about this game made me want to liek it but... the combat was too meh, refunded it. Barony on the other hand, combat's simple but feels great lol

[@condorX2]

[@bestboy897]

i really like the paper cut out character models and their animation feels very satisfying

[@MardaxGames]

Art style makes this game unique and with really pleasant vibe. It's also amazing that it gives you a lot of freedom. You can be farmer or warrior if this suits you more

[@frikabg]

The guy is like wearing a sword a shield heavy armor... takes ages to kill 200 arrows plus and after 20 minutes of fighting and he goes down you get.... a LEGENDARY ALOE LEAF! :D Yeah ok sure... why not?! :D

[@S59964]

Don't forget about rusty sword he was protecting with his life. Video game logic at its finest.

[@myopickid4180]

dont forget 2 piece of gold he drop, that even lower than kill a swamp monster

[@AloneintheZone]

"My arrows are made of shit-twigs and dreams" had me laughing!

[@willbunch01]

gambesons do actually protect against cuts, but arent that great against blunt strikes. Padded cloth is suprisingly effective, but wont do much against a stabbing weapon like a spear.

[@tehwicked1]

Love your stuff, brother. You sold me on picking this up, too. Be well and take care.

[@OnlyForThePriceOf999]

When I played the demo the combat was so completely abysmal that it made it difficult to enjoy the rest of the game. When one system is so fundamentally bad, and yet integral to the experience its just like... man, I'm gonna have to slog through another hour of *THAT* to do the fun stuff? No thanks.

I had already put this on my wish list with your last video. I really like the art style, and I enjoy gathering/building type games, so I will surely check this title out. I do not know if it helps you at all, but I will use your link to go buy it now. :)

[@classycasual3910]

Heyo Splat! Thanks for the daily uploads, keep up the great work!

[@TheWretchedOwl]

I really don’t know how to feel about this game. On the one hand it has everything I should like in a game, it’s really my kind of game is what I’m saying, but… the plot feels so weird. You just get a house from a stranger for no reason, conversations are like purposely generic, it feels a little phoned in.

[@chaosordeal294]

Playing the demo the combat underwhelmed me, as well. These quasi-cosy games need "I want challenging, full-featured combat" and "I want easy, placeholder combat" settings.

[@Myrrath991]

The fact that you can't loot enemy equipment is a pretty big negative in my book. You took down that wanderer and didn't get his sword, shield, helm anything. Disappointing

[@karlosthehawk3730]

I played the demo and you can loot the enemy

[@Myrrath991]

@karlosthehawk3730 You can loot the enemy. But they don't drop what they are wearing. You kill a guy with good equipment and the only loot you get is some random thing like lavender. You should be able to loot anything you see on them. Ruins the immersion

How is this not steamdeck verified yet? Looks perfect for a steamdeck situation.

[@kylelantan9220]

I think you may need to flip your idea on what gambeson protects you from. Google sword vs gambeson and check out some of the results from various testing. Thrusts are very effective against it but trying to cut gambeson seems like it's quite tough, and more blunt force gets through than anything. ThegnThrand has a few videos testing various things against it.

[@l0rf]

It can be cut through, but it's effective at stopping those cuts from becoming serious wounds. People wouldn't have worn and made these for millenia if they didn't have any effect. Gambesons/Aketons are useful.

[@CythereaEressea]

Played the demo before from your previous video and I didn't get to enjoy it much since it had no save and limited to 3 in-game days which went by just like that. Still wishlisted it since I very much liked how it looked. Too bad the combat hasn't improved since then, I'll just get it when its on a deep discount... maybe in a few years.

[@Vigilence]

I wish combat wasn't just in the directions of up, down, left and right, but in any angle like Children of Morta.

[@cuennicolson8666]

[@donloder1]

whoa last i check the steam store page's still showed the year of release, and I feel like I saw you showcasing the game just last month, even though it's actually five months ago.

[@YT_Barakus]

Looks great but early reviews over at Steam -for whatever these are worth- are decidedly lukewarm. I'd love to support a small team and the premise is amazing, but I can't go spending 20+ euros on enticing ideas with questionable execution (looking at you, Rogue Waters), this one (along with Metal Slug Tactics, which I was also really looking forward to) are now on hold, will have to think about it some more. Next stop for me, for now, Toads of the Bayou.

[@NevynAtAll42]

I always thought a gambeson was meant to be worn under heavy armour, like as padding for the heavy armour, especially plate armour.

[@l0rf]

Honestly, not entirely wrong. But ironically, the better the armour on top got, the thinner the padding became. And often it was a matter of accepting thinner padding to reduce the weight of the armour on top. If you have a 20 layer gambeson, you can't move as well, you overheat more and the armour needs to be bigger, thus heavier. With plate, it was sometimes only 1-3 layers that mainly served as attachment points for the plates.

[@Syrin23]

If combat is broken, it's a pass.

[@Gigusx]

Combat lacking any kind of depth is a huge turn off. I don't really get why there'd be so much of it in a game that doesn't particularly try to do it well, but I guess it's just a decent way to engage the player with quests, gathering crafting materials, and getting them out of town. Kinda a shame because it looks gorgeous and is set in one of my favorite kinds of themes. I could see myself picking this up if they ever make the combat better, but to be fair the game does advertise itself as being mostly on the "farming" side rather than an arpg.

[@TheRealBozz]

[@lotus1219]

I was looking forward for this game but sadly the loot system is crap. Why can't you loot armor from enemy you kill? Just give me their dame equipment even if it needs some kind of repair. You spend time kill bandit in the woods and all you got is leaf? This game is not in the state of full released game. They should released it as early access.
