The Final Boss! - Arknights: Endfield Technical Alpha

Reminds me of the Nier series with that bullet and laser part lol, overall I really like this boss!

[@Zuhnado]

The music, the window timing, and all feeling like a raid from an mmo.

[@Goodbyeworld222]

feels like ffxiv to me

[@kitten.5906]

this game will definitely going to get a multiplayer, and i wonder if each player will get to bring like a party of 4 characters each instead of using 1 individually, it would be cool

[@Zuhnado]

@@kitten.5906 There was a survey but for co-op building so maybe not in the way most ppl think. The thing about raid bosses, idk if it would be fun for Endfield. Compared to the likes of Genshin, PGR, WW, etc. that are hack n slash, Endfield (like the 1st game) focuses more on team strategy and a slowdown effect. The strategy aspect with randoms would probably be a mess with each controlling a character without slowdown that I would rather do solo w/ own party. However, if a boss can be beaten solo w/ 1 character in a reasonable time, I can see it possible. But the okay-ish way I can see going about co-op raids is each person controls own party fighting a separate one with time limit. More total damage done = better rewards for all. Arknights, the first game, had a temporary co-op mode but heard it wasn't generally fun with strangers, but w/ friends. So im keeping my expectations minimal based on most gachas don't really focus on real-time co-op much.

[@Owlzz_]

The crazy thing is, this is still alpha version of it

[@user-ue8jm2qm9c]

because its alpha test....hope they dont nerf the boss on live version

[@obihz2415]

Please take note that alpha version are internal testing versione not meant to be accessibile ti the public

[@nmate2955]

When you give the Dev Time to made the game

[@Owlzz_]

sadly i didnt get the acces of it

[@dowentan5171]

Bro alpha test are for the dev/game tester, only beta test are for the users like us

[@TheRollingDices]

Nier? Nah, this is touhou. ✅ Big bullet ✅ Curvy lasers ✅ Master spark

[@phymath8038]

It's touhou, but 3D

[@ivialee4709]

It's Marisa

[@yayu414]

I like the concept because you have to aim your abilities and also you need to dodge, it gives both enemy and you a proper time to cast their animations skill, you're not just spamming skills just like every other game, it's tactical and its fun.

[@774Elysium]

i love how it keeps that arknights uniqueness

[@rtg9733]

Technical test 😭😭 can't imagine how good the actual game would be. Definitely worth the wait

[@SaurabhKhandagale]

How did HG manage to exceed our expectations and make such a gorgeous game?

[@Uohhhh777]

I was expecting better

[@guu-uh1jw]

same,gameplay is ass@@Uohhhh777

[@ardyisdeniralg9147]

Seriously, I thought this was going to be a poor game. But, looking at it now they really went far for this one. We can still hope for more improvement

[@kek651]

this game and gameplay looks pretty stale, I swear you all never played any games outside of shitty gacha lol.... I guess you and those who liked your comment had the lowest expectations possible

[@DarkfrostEN]

My god these comments is stink of negativity

[@dalgona4819]

While I want a dash feature added to this game I wouldn't mind learning to adjust to playing without it as well. SOME folks would compare this to PGR or Genshin but personally I find this more akin to EX trials of FFXIV. (IIRC there are also comparisons to Xenoblade? But I havent played that so I have no idea). I'm liking the boss fights so far, here's to hoping the writing and world-building match up to OG Arknights. P.S. I REALLY wish I can see a co-op system for this, bc it'd be fun to fight this type of boss with friends.

[@thisisblank3221]

its to different to compare with pgr even more so with genshin

[@akitski021]

this is more of like final fantasy 7 or tales of arise with menu engaging like using ability or heal will get to pause its ashame that they didnt do the if we switch to characters we go to the one that we switch pov... hopefully they pump those character effect or ability effect to make it more beautiful to play

[@bakutie]

this I love this system and it just needs a few things to keep combat engaging, not a dodge or parry

[@TowelRanger]

I wouldn’t say EX trials maybe just the base trials themselves.

[@Shijaru64]

I really hope I can see*, not I wish.

[@yosi2142]

now this is a cool boss. I hope they keep making these types of bosses

[@gagongflip389]

Playing Arknights itself, their boss battles were always unique and difficult as hell sometimes.

[@mariano2378]

OMG, I can’t wait for it to release

[@wbxwd0064]

I really, really, really, want to try/play this game if this is released. It's not everytime I got to see an Open-Wolrd Gacha games that have a feature all party members are On-Field. It's like KH III.

[@maxusdocx5589]

And this still TECHNICALL TEST 😂 I hope there no conflict when this game release like u know most people right now compare any open world with genshin

[@smittywababla]

Wanna hear something funny? That new hypostasis looks sick :p Jokes aside. I'm excited they choose open world with action RTS as the genre. It's brings something new to the gacha market.

[@shihabchowdhury4994]

After Wuthering Waves comes out, you'll see a lot of those people compare games with that, lmfao.

[@whitezoin9518]

but actually this is not open world

[@bakutie]

there will always be annoying people like that, stop giving them attention

[@sofyanwidiyanto2859]

​@@shihabchowdhury4994 tbh a i have mixed opinion on WuWa. The combat it's great but so far nothing really interesting outside that, hell even the boss so far nothing special (and i see a few people telling me the monkey boss phase 1 is copy of guardian ape from sekiro)

[@eye.of.thestorm]

So if I understood correctly, in this game you aren't supposed to dash-to-dodge, but to time your skill/ultimate to dodge and counter instead. I think that's kinda brilliant!

[@blazn0]

That is called I-frames. It's not brilliant. Allot of games have that while still having a dodge.

[@orewaren8549]

@@blazn0the only true benchmark here is genshin and that shit dont have i frames on skill only burst, so no this is new and novel.

[@blazn0]

@orewaren8549 if it comes to s then the souls borne franchise is the best benchmark. But s apply to many games. Doesn't matter what genre.

[@djinsh626]

​@@orewaren8549not really. That dude is right, this concept is not new. Honkai Impact 3rd is heavily combat-based game and relies on team rotation and strategy. They use a ton of I-frames in their characters ability and combo. And don't forget about soulsborne franchise. That game is basically I-frames simulator.

[@oh-noe]

@@orewaren8549 In genshin you have i-frames on burst and dash, not only burst

[@Syahzareimaghribbi]

Man... I can't wait to play this game.

[@valk5041]

A co-op mode in this game would be peak

[@roslanhaikal7242]

not gonna lie. that sound effect is so eargasm. who the engineer? it really good

[@dlwk1988]

damm this look so smooth and also the right amount of speed for me. picking up for sure

[@CL_Finger]

WOW Cinematic Ref right there 7:09

[@Sodium779]

This looks so much more unique than Wuthering Waves

[@gagongflip389]

Yeah Wuthering Waves is like playing Genshin and TOF. Same style of item gathering and such. This one atleast have all 3 characters in the field just like Aether Gazer and it doesn't feel lonely. Makes it more fun to play.

[@ArkNoah-x5n]

Agree

[@Eniteee]

yeah already bored of playing wuwa after finishing the main story. now the side quest are basically a damn courier job

[@Sweet_Jelly39]

"Courier job" 😂 thats so truee lol (Still love playing wuwa tho'​@@Eniteee

[@royachacoso6817]

I want to know how powerful the bosses in the future this really a challenging

[@krapfen1302]

the voice acting are so dope öman öman, I hope there's Various type of voice acting just like in arknights, like Russian, German, Chinese, and japanese. I love when the character speaking in their native language

[@zaphyyy]

Looking really good. Just a bit weird to see how allies just completely ignore mechanics.

[@xblade11230]

It's a work in progress a future update might enable them to have AI and be able to fight alongside you But they are probably going to release it now to see if it makes money before they invest more money in

[@odnt5529]

If i lost a fight cause my healer went off and killed herself id uninstall so yay lets have them continue doing that

[@Saikulan]

Oh gods, William Wind's creations from Skyforge reached this game too.

[@gherry8]

Hopefully they add account links, so that whatever character you got in Arknight you automatically unlock them in enfield or the equivalent of 500 pulls. Something great that shows the time you spent in og AK is appreciated.

[@Laggy890]

For a technical alpha this is a pretty damn good baseline for growth that gacha games can do in time

[@CcheshirecatxX]

This is just the alpha and to me it looks better and plays better than Genshin, Wuthering, Tower and any other

[@NamKyo1]

dragon age's style :o briliiant game, MUST play one !!!

[@strawberrymilkshake4576]

Man they are cooking, I hope my PC build is finished soon before the game releases

[@marubinmgd6838]

mind sharing the lore on why is angelina here?

[@tsunami__studios]

She's a clone of our Ange

[@noiko4418]

It take part of the future in arknight, end field take place far away from OG. Angelina is a clone of OG Angelina and been send to end field to help the administrators

[@artraroth]

"it... Really has been quite a while" those sentence really do warmth my hearth

[@IzakiAkanami]

This is only an alpha build apparently, I wonder how this game would cope up to a mobile device, because THIS IS AMAZING, and it's likely to only get better in the future HG really be cooking with this one

[@tonyx8106]

where did my Tower defense game go X_x this looks nuts!!

[@shiroiidakku]

Now that's very interesting game. Yeah I'm boring with Hoyoverse style game. This is better than i expecting

[@ironlegion1580]

The animation, the design everything, THATS STILL TOO SMALL, EVEN WARFRAME CAN HIT BIGGER, HG IS STILL HOLDING BACK!

[@mr.clevertrick8710]

Don't let HG cook. We know how easily they can make bosses very hard.

[@gamers-pj1hx]

Endministrator who has the power to control Originium even though it is toxic, if only we had this kind of power in the Tiberium saga. 6:51

[@Siverron]

Dunno, is the endmin even an infected? Just cause an ndividual can use Originium don't necessarily mean they are infected, it just boosts their power tenfold during their final moments

[@gamers-pj1hx]

@@Siverron Possible, endmin and probably more resistant, but that in the long term it could have problems with the Originium on genetic levels which degrades.

ohh yeah I want more xenoblade-likes, this looks mighty interesting

[@the_Acaman]

the concept of the boss is very nice and different. I also like how the pacing of the fight is more tactical than usual! I certainly hope they work on characters' animations outside the fight tho cause they look a bit stiff. I'm hopeful for the future nonetheless given their track record and the ambitious vibes this game gives me!

[@wesperitiochannel2309]

after reading notice in the end of video.. im pretty sure its only beginning. 😂😂😂

so Tales series type of gameplay? I'll buy it

[@kaiman593]

Exactly my thought. I love arknights for its unique theme and story, but the gameplay kept me away

[@Nanashi-YT1]

It feels like a mix of ff14 and nier

[@haiffy]

All I need surtr here, ember looks like her but she's not her😢

[@Saji_0]

I love the boss, its just good enough inbetween your normal grindy boss and soul-like game boss, and the machanics is easy to understand. though I'm still kinda bummed that we can't dash, and the playable character AI is just straight up tanking all the dmg, no keeping distance when the enemies tries to use their skill

[@MyFeuerFrey]

The AI controlled party members get a bonus to their def so it's essentially trading your ability to avoid CC effects for them being able to tank hits. Likewise, player-control also acts as a taunt as enemies will focus on the unit player controls.

[@KienEevee]

If they don't do that our allies will die all the time and it will be super frustrating.

[@QuartzQuill]

[@mzxa9988]

[@yosiafilisteo506]

It would be more challenging and maybe could be considered fun if your ally would also take damage from the shockwave and the devastating laser, since at least from what I see it didn't seem to harm them

[@homiga1]

They're damage immune when none of you are engaged in battle, which allows you to focus on dodging attacks in phase 3 without having to worry about them dying to the firepower of missiles and lasers. Can be adjusted to increase difficulty though.

[@arieelberian7614]

That would just make the game unnecessarily unfair, since they can't seem to jump or dodge like we can. Them taking damage would just be damage for no reason, I feel.

[@MyFeuerFrey]

If no unit fights, the party members are immune to damage. And during the fight, AI controlled units have a def bonus(while player controlled unit acts as enemy taunt mechanic).

[@soulrift5913]

Or they can adjust the damage to ally to be 50% half from the original damage done to ally to be more challenging

[@ミニシュ]

hope they add Waai Fu
