I covered an earlier build of VOIN a few months ago, but this new build has just dropped and the creators were kind enough to sponsor a new video! The new build features one large new area, new weapons, new enemies, tweaked gameplay and a great combination of day/night cycles and weather effects that make the outside sections look incredible (I got so distracted by the views that monsters managed to sneak up on me sometimes!)

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

You’re right. It is brutal and beautiful.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, that outside section is especially beautiful. I forgot to keep an eye out for attacking monsters because I was too busy admiring the scenery!

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

@@AlphaBetaGamer Yeah, I can see why that would be an issue.

[@alessiokepeshchuk664]

The level design in this game is outstanding

[@BigFan23472]

the scenarios are beautiful and cool, each time you take out the enemies and stop to look around i think "dang this would be a cool wallpaper"

[@Sebastianmaz615]

The "Beautiful Head-Chopping" in the title is what got me. 😯😀

[@TheJackal917]

Now this is something awesome!

[@placer7412]

Love the palette of colors chosen and the levels are pretty

[@iliaoblomov5468]

"Voin" (воин) mean "warrior" in russian.

[@OCTO358]

Didn't think much about the game's name, huh.

[@pyrosnineActual]

Like, the opening in the ice caverns and stuff feel abstract, but also muted and a bit boring, been a lot of action games like this that have kinda one-tone areas for their arenas....so when it left the ice caverns and entered the world proper it blew me away. A skillfull use of layering and distance makes the low poly and textures become rich and detailed vistas from a distance, giving us Skyrim levels of detail and beauty but not sacrificing FPS to do so. Solid work!

[@AveSicarius]

It seems to take a lot of inspiration from Amid Evil in that regard, AE had a really distinct sort of retro aged style, but the environments they created were absolutely stunning, and sometimes mindbending lol. This sort of makes me think of AE but not a Boomshoot and instead gameplay wise taking inspiration from stuff like Dark Messiah or more recently Elderborn (which is also sick).

I'm glad ABG went back to play this version. The game looks good bot visually and gameplay-wise.

Oh yeah there's some extra juice in this thing, it's nice to see someone taking after the first (and second) Shadow Warrior remake

Charming.

Sometimes the visuals look like raytracing without denoise

VOIN means WARRIOR in Russian ⚔️

[@Piratefoxyfox]

enemies are your medikits, yay

[@temporary67315]

Nice combination of Doom Eternal and Dark Souls, like you said before! That said, the rendering does seem odd, like how the protagonist seems to be jerky in the equipment screen, just like enemies in the distance before you close the distance and then they start moving fluidly. Otherwise a good looking game, something of a blend of realistic and stylistic!

[@epitaph8704]

I would like you to explain how this game is like Dark Souls to me, please it seems like a baseless claim

[@spiderskulls8118]

@@epitaph8704 LOL. It's the aesthetic of the game, it's clearly dark souls inspired with dark and dingy exteriors and interiors. You would've noticed that if you weren't too busy trying to be a try hard keyboard warrior

Which engine is was this game created in?

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

Enemies need a bit of work, they seem like the basic zombies from doom

[@UniDeathRaven]

Is this developed by single guy? Damn, I like fluid animations, hot af. Its something that high budget games like Skyrim LACK.

[@Papajoofable]

[@MikhaelHausgeist]

Is weapons feel different enough? Because despite of use of at least four different swords it looks like same slashy-slashy, but with another cosmetic skin which lead to thinking that fights there are much more mindless than even in skyrim(which I hate because of shitty melee combat not on a last place).

[@Zipperskull_]

Dark souls and dishonored had a baby

[@linogomes7416]

I saddly was making a recommendation, requesting support, rudly they told your link was weird, deleted, and post again. (Details DM)

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Hi Lino! Yeah this is a sponsored video so the developers needed a custom bitly link so that they can track how much traffic it gets. You're always welcome to share any links in my other videos and you can share the VOIN Steam page (which is where the link goes to), but please don't copy and paste the link that's in the description of this video - it'll screw up the stats and people will think it's a weird link anyway! Thank for trying to spread the word though! :)

[@MFKitten]

I was never a fan of this way of rendering rain. I feel like what you aee with rain is just as much pure reflection and blur as it is distortion.

[@deerri7618]

Have you ever stopped to realize that the less the developer cares about cutting-edge graphics, the more fun and interesting the game is?

[@-RAYZ-]

Lunacid like.

[@Someguy4321]

Spinny axes interface is too distracting, imo.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

That's a good point. You do forget about them after a while, but it would be nice if they were a little less intrusive. There is an "Interface" tab in the options screen which isn't enabled yet, so hopefully when it is implemented it will have some HUD customization options (like removing the axes).

[@MasioDurza]

Yellow highlights with exclamation icons above the enemy heads are completely unnecessary.

This proves that vr games can be normal games. Someday, someone will make that dream a reality so we don’t need to wear stupid helmets or risk breaking something when we stand and fling our arms.

[@epitaph8704]

Wat, bot?

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

I was bored out of my mind just a few minutes into the last version. There was no sense of story or progression, you just hack at samey zombies with no rhyme or reason. That's why my hopes for this one are łów. Sure, there is some generic intro and some nice ice caves, but it generally does the same thing. You are a servant and somehow are sent into an ice cave to hack zombies for some reason. I know in Dark Souls the lore was hidden away in Item descriptions, it was meant to be glanced from it and the plot puzzled together. But I'm missing it here. EDIT: 14:02 at least the game is throwing around some names that tell us nothing and a very basic reason for offing the zombies. EDIT 2: The locations are well designed and provide nice environmental storytelling. Still the strategizing is lacking. You just run around enemies and hit and run. Would be cool if you had to adapt your strategies to the surroundings and use its elements to fight foes.
