The auto revive thing has been done in a few other games before. The Spectre gauge is a neat idea though even if I highly doubt players will play like on the video and constantly change their number of minions. But at least it makes for a more precise balancing that doesn't automatically go from 1 minion to 2. Each can have a different cost compared to one another.
@@sombrego2260 whats the point of mentioning that auto revive has been done in other games before lol? ok, and? no one said this is the first time its ever been done in any video game.
@@lessdatesmoreonmyplates1457 Yea summon spectre was presented in POE1 as well but it's one of the most annoying build to play due to re-summon issue. Looks like it's completely fixed now.
@@SnowTerebi But you forgot!! You added the new scarabs so the dude now has 2 extra high teir rare mods, along with the 60% delirious you put on the map~
player zipping through maps: "🎶loot loot loot you dead, you dead, you all dead! loot loot loot🎶..." game: "alright that enough. back to town with you."
The way they implement it is perfect. It's similar ofc, but it's implementation is so much better, if for nothing just the coherency and variety in how it's presented. 1 button spam was pretty cancer.
@@volodya8321 I think there are some cool ideas here, both aesthetically and functionally. E.g. the spell with cone of bones that raises extra bone-y minions from corpses and enemies it kills is pretty cool. The spirit system, commanding the minions and them having extra actions that you can use strategically. Not groundbreaking or anything but definitely a good implementation.
The death animation on the boss is so cool. The way it whips its arms around in its death throes, but then the arms just crumble and fly away... that's top notch detail.
Being able to capture the essence of any regular mob and cast them is actually so fucking cool much more interested in this low love how customizable minion builds are
ggg said we can expect something like 600 unique monster types...and that they try to balance them through their spirit costs. there will be months of broken spectre interactions :) and you can gatcha them all if you want :) cant wait :D
This is pretty much the best case scenario for what I was hoping for with the summoner playstyle. Great ideas all around, especially the spirit gauge and power charge uses. Can't wait!

The way your doing specters is really fantastic. This seems way more of an active play style which can be good. And commanding minions is *chefs kiss*. Minions looking really really great here, way to go.
I am utterly astounded by everything in this showcase. I sat with my mouth wide open in amazement as each frame passed by. The gameplay, feedback, musical score, animations, lighting, set and setting are so far ahead of anything I have ever witnessed in an ARPG that I could barely believe my eyes and ears. I am beyond excited for this title and I am definitely playing Witch for my first run. This was bloody brilliant, folks.
What’s really cool about the spectres is that it lets you have a themed army. So something like an army of crabs with a giant coconut crab leader like the brine king, and there’s crab armour set now lmao
Hell no thats stupid y can't I have a lot of small and big minions smh... I'm a necromancer y can't I have a massive army?? Smh and people r saying this is gonna be better then D4 😂😂..

If I'm not mistaken, most of the skills do completely different things even if they have the same name, so vets will also need to know what's going on lol
@@TheAluvisify not always completely different, stuff like ED/contagion is mostly similar with some twists. Which is fine! PoE has like 200 skills, even small twists on existing skills can make things feel new, especially with how this game encourages 4D chess build design.

@@usuario_youtube1 True d2 is great and poe is my all time favorite game, so I'm not trying sound like a hater. D2s endgame is its only weak point for me but that's cause it's from an Era where we didn't care about that.

I will play it no matter what so excited.
This is true, but also its what allows me to play games like this at end game. Clickspam builds cause me to carpel tunnel if I only play them. Summoners (and auto bombers) give my wrist a break.
I really love the small things they do like having minions opening chest and doors for you, not sure how much impact it has on game play but it does help fullfiling the character of a minion commander
You can order to open strongboxes, which instantly spawn packs of monsters around, from safe distance, even if strongbox have freeze modifier, and you dont have freeze immunity.
@@varvolgyibeni4398 That and for speed clearing an area its just faster if you get used to it to direct your minions to open the door and enter the room as you walk towards it.
This is so awesome! You can simply tell that these guys love their craft and we simply get to enjoy their work with them. I feel that they create for the sake of pushing the limits and having a sense of fulfilment, the property of "product" is secondary. Top notch, both artistically and implementation wise!
This is the best Necromancer I’ve ever seen. This was made by someone who LOVES summoner builds. I see so many RPGs where a class with a niche play style gets shafted in favor of the more commonly adopted playstyles (I’ll never get over mages in Skyrim), but every class shown off has been filled with so much care and attention to detail, I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME SO BAD!
This is fantastic, it's a much more intuitive way of having minions in a game. I played minion builds in POE1 but they can feel clunky at times because you have to rely so heavily on corpses. Now because your minions automatically resummon, and you have a lot of options as to how you can use them.
brings a tear to my eye, how far we've come and how much effort has been put into necro, my favourite class. when poe1 was in beta i was amazed at the game then, poe2 looks insanely good, can't wait.
I forget about this game, then a couple of months later I remember and look up some news about it and you guys always have a habit of dropping cool gameplay walkthroughs like this and I love it. Sigh time to go back to waiting for November so I can try out this masterpiece.
When studios focus on doing just 1 genre of gaming as best they can it leads to such great results. POE2, Elden Ring, Baulder's Gate 3. There's a real power in constant refining. This was perfect, GGG are truly the masters of the ARPG.
I have not commented or liked a video so quickly before. This is the exact playstyle I have wanted from many games within this genre. I cannot wait to play this game.
I like that they are "automating" the summoning of Witch minions so you can focus on s̶p̶a̶m̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ v̶o̶l̶a̶t̶i̶l̶e̶ d̶e̶a̶d̶ casting damaging spells to help with the DPS rather than trying to maintain your minion cap at its highest every 5 seconds.
@@nataschajordan6053 Fair. But in my experience playing witch in POE, the minions feel slow and weak. I still have to do some heavy lifting with the damage so it doesn't take me forever to finish a boss.
@@nataschajordan6053 You dont have to, you can use the free time to cast curses and buffs instead of damage (i mean... i hope so) so you still have an active role in the game. Did you try "Last epoch"? in that game If you played a summoner necro all you could ever do is stay still and spam "summon" and it got boring extremely fast...
@@Orome96 That is exactly how it will be, you will either do damage or you can curse/buff. I'm sure there will also be an option for something like raging skull guys from PoE1
@@PherPhur The truth is, if you have summons that respawn automatically, some you have to summon yourself, you even have skills to use for some summons and you can also cast contagion spells, that already is the dream gameplay for a necromancer class
You guys are amazing and you set the industry standard in the entire of video games. You can tell POE is a real passion project by talented Devs keep at it guys!
not sure. diablo 4 moved back from making the summoner a "summons are just distractions and you deal 90% of dmg" cause players hated to play a mage with distraction pets that just run around with no use. diablo 3s latest necro set overhaul, which made pet-necro only deal dmg when summon army is pressed made everyone quit summon-necro immediately. it looks like poe2 is repeating the same wrong direction for summoners to be mere distraction, while you have to deal 90% of dps actively. most summoner players i know, play summoners to actually not have to deal dmg "yourself" (other than directing and buffing summons the right moments) i have nothing against one active pet ability, like fireskulls in poe1 - a short lived agressive pet cast - but having skellettons around just as defense-distraction and having to monotaneously cast active spells is exactly what i do not want out of a summoner class.
@@nataschajordan6053 and what gave you that idea about PoE2? You can use your summons and their skills to deal damage. Is it that hard to use 1 or 2 skill?
the fact that most minions don't requiere spaming summons is wonderful, spaming squeletons summon was just soo stupid, and the specter capture mechanic with auto revive is just almost too good to be true, keep doing this kind of QOL gameplays and you have one of the best game ever made
but this will mean, that since minions now are automated, you will not spam summon skeletons, but spam a mind numbing single target damage spell, cause all your minions wont deal damage at all - we had this in d4 and it sucked so much, even blizz moved away from "active damage dealing" summoner necro - cause its not what people want out of a summoner, beeing still the one that delivers 90% of the damage, while your pets are a field distraction.
@@nataschajordan6053 skeletons are the ones that respawn automatically, but there are conditions if you saw them. Also you have zombies that you have to respawn yourself, and the ones that get summoned when you do that AoE attack. Also, the type of combat varies depending on the type of summons you have
Good job GGG! I can't wait for this game, literally I don't remember when I was so excited waiting for a game. I'm 90's but you make me feel like I'm kid again. That's amazing. Thank you! 🙏🏻😊 GAME OF THE DECADE COMING !
Everything about D4 was such a disappointment, so upset I preordered it at $110 for absolutely nothing. I can’t wait for this game, the Diablo destroyer
I think that PoE 2 marks a turning point in terms of design, visual quality and above all, a great evolution of the skills system. It's crazy. Music, animations, effects...If you release a game as complete as the first, I think that the competition with others H&S titles (very good indeed) will have problems doing so. Thank you, I can’t wait, Early access day one for me !!!!
Dude I love the audio interactions between your minions , you never see that in other games, the summoners always act like their minions don't even exist. "You can stay in the back , with me!" Little details like that are what make a good game great
I have never played one of this type of games. Coach coop made me want to play this game this video its insane i cant wait to play this game i think me and my gf we both be playing this character. Looks insane 😍
@@ASymbolicSymbolthe fact it took 4 seasons of the new game to even get to this level is exactly why people need to stop supporting it. Releasing an empty game is unacceptable
@@LeeoGoneWildOr the fact D4 has seasons likes is some MOBA is crazy to me like I don't feel like making a new character every time you guys release a money grab scheme
Poe already had some of the best minion capabilities in there game but this is some next level awesomeness. I can't contain my excitement for this game to come out. Literally every video I see for it is a banger 🤙🏻🔥
This is the game I'm most pumped about, and I never even played the first one. Every bit is so considered and polished, it really looks like a game made by gamers for gamers.
@@Zazie900 Let's be real, POE has always been a Free trial game because of stash spaces. You can't play this game properly with only the 4 default small stash they give you.

I had some xp with Motion Capture and love the seriously fluid, accurate animations and movement and fight choreography, something that wasn't so obvious for the RPG games in the past. It finally did the cinematic style of the narrative justice. Kudos to the devs. Ps. You almost saw me as Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
Bro what the actual fuck? This is fucking insane. Seriously. I can’t believe this is happening. This game looks so good it’s almost unbelievable. I’m absolutely shook to my core how good this is. What the fuck man
Meh kinda looked boring and I only like Minion necros but the fact I have to sacrifice minions to have different minions is stupid. Was hoping this game would be good but kinda looks boring. I'll try it out unless I'm forced to play as a woman then its just gonna be a hard pass from me.
Yeah, its so mechanical and i hope they got rid of more bullshit = harder mentality. It even looks like eldenring boss just with a different camera angle.
that boss is so sick. the sound effect of it hitting the ground after it falls through the hole is such a nice touch. the specter thing is so cool too. this game is looking absurdly good
tbh, I don't know too much about this type of game. I played D4 and I love it even though it gets very repetitive. I am looking at this game, and I am seeing a fucking masterpiece. I will definitely give them $100 if the game is good, which is looking that way.

This is true, but also its what allows me to play games like this at end game. Clickspam builds cause me to carpel tunnel if I only play them. Summoners (and auto bombers) give my wrist a break.
It's really cool how Tor Gul is essentially an updated version of the fight against Kitava
Shut up
I was thinking the same with the first few attacks then there were like 5 more.
Yo the chest / door tech is pretty sick
@@Neroh01 Minions can open doors/chests
@@Neroh01 1:30
Open that.
Every build has a minion now.
to much micro managing, trust me it will be fun for the first day or 2 but after the novelty runs off u wont move minions about to open door etc.

ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOME?
@@thelonesomewanderer8359 lmao the reference
@@HiddenStr3ngth thought not many people would get it as it's an older film now, but still a classic hahaha
I really love the small things they do like having minions opening chest and doors for you, not sure how much impact it has on game play but it does help fullfiling the character of a minion commander
You can order to open strongboxes, which instantly spawn packs of monsters around, from safe distance, even if strongbox have freeze modifier, and you dont have freeze immunity.
opening a door will certainly be useful i think, in endgame especially, will allow you to safely open a door and not be immediately bombarded
@@varvolgyibeni4398 That and for speed clearing an area its just faster if you get used to it to direct your minions to open the door and enter the room as you walk towards it.
NEXT U WILL DEMAND MINIONS PULL CHAIR FOR YOU TOO?
the amount of work on the designs and animations is absolutely mind blowing: amazing work, team!!!
This is so awesome! You can simply tell that these guys love their craft and we simply get to enjoy their work with them. I feel that they create for the sake of pushing the limits and having a sense of fulfilment, the property of "product" is secondary. Top notch, both artistically and implementation wise!
The art teams on this title are unreal. Aesthetics and world design are insanely good.
My hype is off the charts. You might actually convert me into a minion enjoyer if this is the kind of gameplay we can expect. Amazing
My feelings exactly.

This is the best Necromancer I’ve ever seen. This was made by someone who LOVES summoner builds. I see so many RPGs where a class with a niche play style gets shafted in favor of the more commonly adopted playstyles (I’ll never get over mages in Skyrim), but every class shown off has been filled with so much care and attention to detail, I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME SO BAD!
This is fantastic, it's a much more intuitive way of having minions in a game. I played minion builds in POE1 but they can feel clunky at times because you have to rely so heavily on corpses. Now because your minions automatically resummon, and you have a lot of options as to how you can use them.
I just LOVE the witch’s unhinged “how exciting” - the voice actor killed it!
And then reanimated it!
Am I crazy, or does that sound like the VA for Glados?
give me your ESSENCE!
Game looks boring🥱
I cannot find words to express how excited I am for this game
Shut up
Same
brings a tear to my eye, how far we've come and how much effort has been put into necro, my favourite class. when poe1 was in beta i was amazed at the game then, poe2 looks insanely good, can't wait.
Yes the poe beta then was there for me after D3 came out
What y'all did with spectres is phenomenal -- cannnnoottt wait to rip this !!!
I can't wait to RIP with this!
@@Akumasama 🤣🤣🤣
the mechanic that u can capture a fallen creature and then summon it is just amazing
I forget about this game, then a couple of months later I remember and look up some news about it and you guys always have a habit of dropping cool gameplay walkthroughs like this and I love it. Sigh time to go back to waiting for November so I can try out this masterpiece.
The boss at the end looks amazing.
360° Kitava
Bony Kitava
We need more devs like this in the industry, literally everything about this game is just so cool.
I have Never seen any type of necromancy like this in any other video game. I'm going to be loving this.
MY Necro is better in TL2\Synergy™
When studios focus on doing just 1 genre of gaming as best they can it leads to such great results.
POE2, Elden Ring, Baulder's Gate 3. There's a real power in constant refining.
This was perfect, GGG are truly the masters of the ARPG.
I have not commented or liked a video so quickly before. This is the exact playstyle I have wanted from many games within this genre. I cannot wait to play this game.
I am in love. Witch/Necromancer was the first class I really enjoyed in POE1, so seeing this really excites me
I like that they are "automating" the summoning of Witch minions so you can focus on s̶p̶a̶m̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ v̶o̶l̶a̶t̶i̶l̶e̶ d̶e̶a̶d̶ casting damaging spells to help with the DPS rather than trying to maintain your minion cap at its highest every 5 seconds.
i dont want to deal dps myself at all - for me thats completely WRONG direction for a summoner class - if i want to deal dmg myself, i play a mage.
@@nataschajordan6053 Fair. But in my experience playing witch in POE, the minions feel slow and weak. I still have to do some heavy lifting with the damage so it doesn't take me forever to finish a boss.
@@nataschajordan6053 You dont have to, you can use the free time to cast curses and buffs instead of damage (i mean... i hope so) so you still have an active role in the game. Did you try "Last epoch"? in that game If you played a summoner necro all you could ever do is stay still and spam "summon" and it got boring extremely fast...
@@Orome96 That is exactly how it will be, you will either do damage or you can curse/buff. I'm sure there will also be an option for something like raging skull guys from PoE1
@@PherPhur The truth is, if you have summons that respawn automatically, some you have to summon yourself, you even have skills to use for some summons and you can also cast contagion spells, that already is the dream gameplay for a necromancer class
As far as game design, POE2 might be the most beautiful game ever created. TY GGG
Damn! This is the REAL NECROMANCER! Feels like playing SHADOW MONARCH from Solo Leveling! So excited to play it!
Shut up
"Shadows" skeleton skin incoming! :D
@@kiorodjirane8517 shut up
I hope other Devs take notes on this one. That is how a summoner should be!
@@Chronor007 just like diablo 4
As a minion player this is pure awesomeness.
remember my guys,this masterpiece is a free2play game..
Kinda cause ur gonna end up buying stash tabs but yeah they r cheap so it's like buying a 20-30$ game that's still really good
@@vulcanz1327XD
Imagine pointing out the stash tabs and use it as an argument that this game is not free2play
the f2p game always the expensive one hahahaha
yall forget that all the stuff you bought in poe1 is going to be in poe2...
Can’t wait to drop $1000s to support this beautiful game’s development for a decade+
Insane. Cannot wait for this. SPECTERS.
I was about to see if I needed to summon Tri in the comments, man you’re always on top of it 😂
Hi tri 👋
Hi Tri👋
You guys are amazing and you set the industry standard in the entire of video games. You can tell POE is a real passion project by talented Devs keep at it guys!
D4 is years behind HOLY SHIT this was so cool.
not sure. diablo 4 moved back from making the summoner a "summons are just distractions and you deal 90% of dmg" cause players hated to play a mage with distraction pets that just run around with no use. diablo 3s latest necro set overhaul, which made pet-necro only deal dmg when summon army is pressed made everyone quit summon-necro immediately.
it looks like poe2 is repeating the same wrong direction for summoners to be mere distraction, while you have to deal 90% of dps actively.
most summoner players i know, play summoners to actually not have to deal dmg "yourself" (other than directing and buffing summons the right moments)
i have nothing against one active pet ability, like fireskulls in poe1 - a short lived agressive pet cast - but having skellettons around just as defense-distraction and having to monotaneously cast active spells is exactly what i do not want out of a summoner class.
@@nataschajordan6053 and what gave you that idea about PoE2? You can use your summons and their skills to deal damage. Is it that hard to use 1 or 2 skill?
I am in love...with that class. Man someone in the Dev team have a real love for Necromancer, my God...I need to play this now.
The level of hype Im feeling after watching poe2 footage should be a crime. Can't wait.
less than 2 minutes in and they already gave me what i wanted from D4 minons. GG, GGG.
And the rest of the video is just "but wait, there's more."
the fact that most minions don't requiere spaming summons is wonderful, spaming squeletons summon was just soo stupid, and the specter capture mechanic with auto revive is just almost too good to be true, keep doing this kind of QOL gameplays and you have one of the best game ever made
Minion for summon minion 😂
You can actually use support skills instead of spamming summon - true QOL
but this will mean, that since minions now are automated, you will not spam summon skeletons, but spam a mind numbing single target damage spell, cause all your minions wont deal damage at all - we had this in d4 and it sucked so much, even blizz moved away from "active damage dealing" summoner necro - cause its not what people want out of a summoner, beeing still the one that delivers 90% of the damage, while your pets are a field distraction.
@@nataschajordan6053 skeletons are the ones that respawn automatically, but there are conditions if you saw them. Also you have zombies that you have to respawn yourself, and the ones that get summoned when you do that AoE attack. Also, the type of combat varies depending on the type of summons you have
I LOVE the music outro when the boss died! I love how it concludes epicly instead of just abruptly stopping.
Actually in awe of how beautiful the game looks.
Good job GGG! I can't wait for this game, literally I don't remember when I was so excited waiting for a game. I'm 90's but you make me feel like I'm kid again. That's amazing. Thank you! 🙏🏻😊 GAME OF THE DECADE COMING !
Respawning spectres is the single fucking best thing that ever happened to this game, holy shit.
Now we just need respawning animate guardian with no gear loss lol
It's actually amazing.
the spectre died during the boss fight and didn't reespawn though due to skeletons constantly dying. so that's something to be aware of ;)
@@MrClindberg He didn't use a Specter in the last boss fight. The minion configuration changed after the cut to the fight
After the mega fail that was the Necromancer in D4, I'm looking forward to this alot!
Everything about D4 was such a disappointment, so upset I preordered it at $110 for absolutely nothing. I can’t wait for this game, the Diablo destroyer
@@LeeoGoneWild This game will never ever destroy Diablo lmao, you must be either new or a casual if you believe that
@@ZoobleZi it’ll destroy Diablo.
@@ZoobleZidiablo 4 is a diablo 4 destroyer because there is nothing to do. Path of exile 1 is better and better by a long shot.
@@sovereign4107PoE1 is garbage smh PoE2 I'm.hoping will be better but from looking at this it kinda looks boring af.
every little bit of this I see just absolutely blows me away
Very excited to be a part of this game! Thank you for putting in so much effort to make your game awesome!
I think that PoE 2 marks a turning point in terms of design, visual quality and above all, a great evolution of the skills system. It's crazy. Music, animations, effects...If you release a game as complete as the first, I think that the competition with others H&S titles (very good indeed) will have problems doing so.
Thank you, I can’t wait, Early access day one for me !!!!
Dude I love the audio interactions between your minions , you never see that in other games, the summoners always act like their minions don't even exist.
"You can stay in the back , with me!"
Little details like that are what make a good game great
I have never played one of this type of games. Coach coop made me want to play this game this video its insane i cant wait to play this game i think me and my gf we both be playing this character. Looks insane 😍
Imagine if D4 was anything close to this?
PoE 2 is the next gen ARPG we all are looking for.
since season four it kind of is
@@ASymbolicSymbolthe fact it took 4 seasons of the new game to even get to this level is exactly why people need to stop supporting it. Releasing an empty game is unacceptable
@@LeeoGoneWildOr the fact D4 has seasons likes is some MOBA is crazy to me like I don't feel like making a new character every time you guys release a money grab scheme
@marcgbrule But PoE is a seasonal game lol...
Funny... have fun with that pathetic skill tree and braindead paragon bored 😂@@ASymbolicSymbol
Jesus, can't wait. Love the customizable option for your army.
Summoner goes next level with PoE 2. Great job guys, keep it up!
Poe already had some of the best minion capabilities in there game but this is some next level awesomeness. I can't contain my excitement for this game to come out. Literally every video I see for it is a banger 🤙🏻🔥
When intro level minion gameplay is more engaging than D4 endgame Necromancer 1 year into the 4 installment.
Lmao right
D4 bad ...
💀💀 this is harsh facts
That's such an exaggerated statement that makes me cringe. Too biased to see that there isn't much of a difference. Smh.
D4 is so much better
I've never been so certain a game was going to be 10/10
Johnathan has a perfect voice for narration!
This is the game I'm most pumped about, and I never even played the first one. Every bit is so considered and polished, it really looks like a game made by gamers for gamers.
you made my day for sure! I was hyped about PoE2, but this video bumped my hyped to a new level!
THE QUALITY OF THIS GAME!!! EVERYTHING SO WELL THOUGHT OUT! JUST TAKE MY MONEY
Free to play FTW
free to play, but pay for everything that makes the game playable @@Zazie900
@@Zazie900 Let's be real, POE has always been a Free trial game because of stash spaces. You can't play this game properly with only the 4 default small stash they give you.

Holy shit.. when that skelly boss reanimated.. that looked wicked cool!! Can't wait to play this game!!!
the specter mechanic is making me so happy
I had some xp with Motion Capture and love the seriously fluid, accurate animations and movement and fight choreography, something that wasn't so obvious for the RPG games in the past. It finally did the cinematic style of the narrative justice. Kudos to the devs. Ps. You almost saw me as Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
You like to talk about yourself a lot eh? SMH.
Bro what the actual fuck? This is fucking insane. Seriously. I can’t believe this is happening. This game looks so good it’s almost unbelievable. I’m absolutely shook to my core how good this is. What the fuck man
Our build!
when i think about golems the video end 😔
minions are aggressive
Family!
This Looks sooo Great. Coming from an d2 vet
The Witch's minions have more diversity than entire classes in D4
Meh kinda looked boring and I only like Minion necros but the fact I have to sacrifice minions to have different minions is stupid. Was hoping this game would be good but kinda looks boring. I'll try it out unless I'm forced to play as a woman then its just gonna be a hard pass from me.
This implementation of necro class is insanely well thought out. Can’t wait. Kudos to the team.
Goddamn, every time they talk about a class they make it look like a different game! The amount of quality content here is insane
Major credit to the boss designers here, they look amazing in every clip I see!
I love being a summoner because I don't feel alone and they never get tired, and never miss ~
I call them the Jonnys!
The last boss was one of the most impressive display of a boss in ANY arpg i've ever seen
Yeah, its so mechanical and i hope they got rid of more bullshit = harder mentality. It even looks like eldenring boss just with a different camera angle.
And it is "just" one area boss of the 100+ in the game. Not even final Act boss material.
seriously, beautiful aoe effects and boss animation
Bosses in Lost ark are crazy for arpg. This looks good too.
This looks like it's gonna be one of the best games ever made.
The Specter qol we ve been waiting for aeons
No words. Just insanely cool. I already enjoy witch in PoE1 but this is a whole new level. Epitome of the necromancer fantasy.
Tor Gul has such strong Kitava influence and yet still looks like a new fight
Simple things done beautifully - it's a skelly with a skelly for a head!
gives me strong anima vibes from FF10! insanely cool boss...unbelievable it is around level 30!
that boss is so sick. the sound effect of it hitting the ground after it falls through the hole is such a nice touch. the specter thing is so cool too. this game is looking absurdly good
tbh, I don't know too much about this type of game. I played D4 and I love it even though it gets very repetitive. I am looking at this game, and I am seeing a fucking masterpiece. I will definitely give them $100 if the game is good, which is looking that way.
