GOW 2018 had a mode where the entire UI is gone, including enemy indicators such as bosses's lifebars, and it seriously was harder at first, than playing Give me God of War difficulty with the UI on was. Not knowing how close or far you are to killing a boss just feels wrong.
As much as I'd love to buy this game, I'm almost appalled at how shamelessly similar in style it is to Blasphemous. The final blow to the boss even did that silhouette thing and not even gonna mention the executions! Woops I did anyway 😅
I get what you mean. Because it seems as if certain things have been taken from other games and put into this game, such as the health bars of the end bosses that can also be seen in the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games.
@@nocanseegreen3845 boss only videos can be deceptive. for example 9 years of shadows got really cool bosses but really poorly done sections between them. You literally ran for 10 minutes in a line with no challenge
I love how you use different types of weapon for different bosses and use Stigma to parry Lisa. Everyone complaining about having no parry just sucks and too reliant and can't adapt. You also use weapon movesets in the right time and attack with ranged weapon when needed. 10/10 boss fight, it would be interesting to see how you approach it with mind or instinct build for spells and bombs
@@ariesscar443Idk why people compare hollow knight blasphemous and this game with dark souls as both these are miles apart yes there is inspiration but comparison is absurd
i think the people in the comments are deceived by how good this game actually is just by this one video, it really isnt as some of the design choices are horrid (such as the map being misleading, the illusion of class choice making a difference, and sometimes bs boss attacks) and the game generally not standing out as unique as it is very derivative of blasphemous and bloodborne it had potential, but it was not fully realized
not gellot but ive played the game, I really enjoyed it, the art and aesthetics are some of the best ive seen in games, the gameplay can feel clunky until you get used to it, but it's still really fun learning bosses/enemies and being able to dominate them.
Tbh its fine. It doesnt really make any sense as to why would you take dmg from touching monsters unless they have spikes on their body or something. Besides from the character pespective they aren't fighting in 2D. Parry isn't a permanent mechanic as well as it is item based so having no contact dmg allow you to dash 'through' enemies without fearing hitbox instead of running in their attack direction and getting hit. This game would be very hard if there's contact dmg as you can't pass through large enemies. People are just so used to playing metroidvania/soulsborn/soulslike that implement contact dmg from classics like megaman, etc.
@@illusion5739 in blasphemous you can dash through every enemy too except for the fat slug like fire breather in the cathedral In blasphemous 2 especially with double jump and aerial dash dodging enemies becomes even easier. Not that much of a difference i would say
This player beat hollow knight temple of the gods 5th arena.. no damage.. while shiiii beef me took maybe a hundred and 150 tries just to beat the 4th hollow knight boss
Is this like prequel to Blasphemous or made by the same people or something cuz the animation everything looks kind of like it but boy this looks pretty good
@@Grimmjow19872 Absolutely, especially if you really like the double jump and dash that Blasphemous 2 added. I got it while it was on sale (ps5) so it might be different for you on whatever you play. Its also fixes the only problem that I have with the Blasphemous series and that is the map progression is far more clear and easier to understand at least in my opinion.
@@Grimmjow19872 Yes, the soundtrack is surprisingly good for a small indie game like this, I highly recommend it to you my friend. I got it on sale (ps5) so it might be a bit different for you depending on what you play so thats something to look out for.
God damn, just randomly got here! So I take it this game is going for the “Blasphemous” feel, but in a gothic Mitteleuropa setting, instead of the full blown Catholic Qué-Viva-España setting of the former? This game looks like my kind of game. Gonna buy it as soon as I get a new dual shock controller!
Gellot shows us a masterclass in metroidvanias as usual, but this game itself is mid. Its entire identity seems to be "what if we ripped off Blasphemous, but also Dark Souls even harder?"
The boss: "Throw down your weapons, for they are useless against me!"
The player: "Your shrinking health bar says otherwise."

@@mappybc6097it's just Cuphead

Sooooo we basically have a Castlevania sequel with Bloodborne inspirations?
That's cool
It's the Bloodborne PC port we all wanted.
So glad we are in an era where games like this are prevalent. I remember when I bought Symphony of the night on the original playstation.
manfredd the accursed 29:37 i like this one so much!
Man, these kind of games are so legit!
The art style is such a chef’s kiss im losing my mind rn🧎🏻☺️
you know it's a soulslike when after you defeat a boss you see "noun verbed"
xd lol
"Blood burned"
people who say "soulslike" don't get human rights.
@@chad9166 true
"Dark souled"
0:05 Mob crushed by Boss
Never gets old
Especially if it's early in the game!
That was a fellow hunter i think
It feels like blasphemous and bloodborne have a child.
And it is a beautiful one. Come, let us hunt through Yharnam and this cursed city, and cleanse both of beast and disease alike.
A unholy child
I was thinking of the same thing
Yo man. When I went to this video, I thought the same and was surprised, and then I saw your comment. xddd
Protag at first glance kinda gave me a Julius Belmont feeling.
As much as I'd love to buy this game, I'm almost appalled at how shamelessly similar in style it is to Blasphemous. The final blow to the boss even did that silhouette thing and not even gonna mention the executions! Woops I did anyway 😅
I'm getting dark souls, bloodborne, van hellsing and castlevania vibes. I love it
I get what you mean. Because it seems as if certain things have been taken from other games and put into this game, such as the health bars of the end bosses that can also be seen in the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games.
Good walkthrough as usual. Great work 👍
If there were ever a boss I genuinely didn't think you'd be able to best, it was the Nighthunter in this game. So wild and unpredictable. Great stuff.
Lotsa bloodborne inspiration in this game.
Literally 2d bloodborne, and I love it
Yeah, that and Blasphemous
those typa things existed long before bloodborne kekek kiddos..
@@mikeike2177yes, we know that but Jesus, you gotta admit, the similarities are far too close to be coincidental.
@@JimmyBlack7351blasphemous did not invent pixel art
Every boss: Dark, evil, a danger.
Annabella & Caterina: "Oh let me cut this hedge real quick..."
I never laughed so hard like at that moment...
8:20 Soma vs. Gergoth moment
I will definitely play this game. I haven't felt the need to play a game this much since sekiro
Great game love playing it. Many players like using the ethereal greatsword but I prefer using the scythe😊
Do you recommend this game overall?
I'm curious too. Though if Gellot and Shadowserg both make videos about a game, I guess it is usually a good one.
Absolutely if you love soullike and metroidvania!!
looks pretty good to me
@@nocanseegreen3845 boss only videos can be deceptive. for example 9 years of shadows got really cool bosses but really poorly done sections between them. You literally ran for 10 minutes in a line with no challenge
It's a good soulslike. Bad Metroidvania
20:40 hey, yo that boss is holding a whip.... cool reference to Trevor Belmont from castlevania.
A wonderful game with a lot weapons and magic
Just a rip off of Blasphemous???
It's nothing like Blasphemous
@@N_Tertainment7 it looks just like it tho same art style and everything
@@MrSponge56Blasphemous did not invent pixel art
@@MrSponge56NO
the vibe that I like just like Castlevania and Blasphemous

This game looks so cool, had never heard about it before.
Best metroidvania with Ender Lilies. But I don't play Blasphemous 2 yet
The boss design in this game is really cool.
If u haven’t played any DS games or BB! 😂😂
@@ariesscar443It's not right to compare this with those games.
@@ariesscar443Idk why people compare hollow knight blasphemous and this game with dark souls as both these are miles apart yes there is inspiration but comparison is absurd
@@adih-is4ud agreed, souls games while similar to metroidvanias have enough differences to make it nonsensical to compare them.
What an absoloutely gorgeous game! I can't believe I missed this.
This game is like Castlevania and Devil May Cry with upgrades!!! 🤩
Excellent video, gameplay and the game! I have a question; what if many Hydra's heads had a fight between them?
This game loves winged bosses lol
22:55 is the most "dodge to the moon" move I have seen in a while.
More intense than some anime I have seen. Nice
Well when all u watch is “one piece” and “narturo”… or DBZ.. it’s not hard to see why 🤣🤣🤣
@@ariesscar443unnecessary rudeness in the reply section what a suprise
Don't know it's Annabelle or Caterina who wields the scissors, but that snipping animation is so cool.
Thanks for showing us Gellot. It's very funny to read your description while the video is played, so is this game worth playing?
Yes
Love the art style

Blasphemous did not invent Pixel Art, if you don't like it, shut up and stop crying
@@Angel-sq2hm nowhere did i mention the pixel art
@@Angel-sq2hm you are repeating the same useless comment everywhere
yes. this game has really bad level design.
@@Angel-sq2hm everyone does not have to like your favorite game, shut up and stop crying
The art for this game is fucking immaculate, I can’t even imagine how long it would take to animate some of these assets
BloodBorne and Castlevania had a baby i see...
Reminds me of the old school games I played in the early 2000's that you had to get on limewire.
Compared to other similar games, how do you think this one was in terms of fun?
not gellot but ive played the game, I really enjoyed it, the art and aesthetics are some of the best ive seen in games, the gameplay can feel clunky until you get used to it, but it's still really fun learning bosses/enemies and being able to dominate them.
8/10
This game appears to be to Bloodborne what Blasphemy is to Dark Souls. Will most definitely pick it up soon.
Have you play it yet? If so how is it?
On first boss feels like player was hitting a cropped png
You did Lisa dirty with all that stunning lmao
This game I gotta play later on
Babe, wake up! Gellot just uploaded!
Gellot you are the true boss man
Solid 8/10 game. Only issue is the inability to shoot while moving or jumping and aiming.
Sounds suspiciously close to Dante from DMC4
And 43:45 the crystal looks like the one Urizen summons
After I finished the game, I really need to play a game similar to The last faith and Blasphemous. Any advice?
afteimage
Hollow Knight
Moonscars
Axiom Verge 1
And maybe the old Castlevania games
Feels weird to see a game have no contact damage after brainrotting blasphemous 1 and 2

Bloodborn aesthetics and music, but you’re basically playing a Belmont without the whip, huh?
You do have a whip, well it's up to you if you want to play with it
Hello. This is Bloodborne 2😂😂😂
Cool game, thanks for all boss❤
Great game, highly recommend it if you like games like this. They did a really good job making this, not perfect, but what is?
The weapon you use against the second boss/bosses, looks like the Morningstar used by Trevor Belmont
How is this game guys? Is it worth buying? The demo felt a bit empty?
why does it look like castlevania ?
Bro went from fighting skellies to fight diabolical living voice
Any game in which you can touch the boss's body and notget damaged isn't hard.
majestic! A hunter is a hunter even in 2D!
This player beat hollow knight temple of the gods 5th arena.. no damage.. while shiiii beef me took maybe a hundred and 150 tries just to beat the 4th hollow knight boss
German version of Blasphemous, ok, not bad as spin-off
Not bloodborne?
this game looks promising
17:39 where the terrorgheist come from.
Las armas están en máximo nivel?
All the bosses and their arenas are good and well designed. Which one or ones are your fav?
Is this a Blasphemous clone or is Blashphemous a clone of this
Lol blasphemous came before this
Blasphemous did not invent Pixel Art
@@Angel-sq2hm nobody said anything about pixel art
More like castlevania
So Blasphemous and Castlevania fusion?
Castlevania+Bloodborne
Is this like prequel to Blasphemous or made by the same people or something cuz the animation everything looks kind of like it but boy this looks pretty good
Я не смог пройти даже первого боса, психанул и удалил игру) А тут автор проходит их без урона, браво)
Most of the bosses sound more badass at double the speed of the Video
I wonder why TF creators bothered to add firearms if they are such a disappointment, even the minigun barely scratches bosses.
That first boss is the opening boss of Salt and Sanctuary. That’s ok. I like Salt and Sanctuary and Bloodborne is one of my favorite games.
This game was amazing and definitely worth the $15 I got it for. Except for that final boss. F*** that lady, her moveset is complete nonsense.
So it’s worth getting? I been playing blasphemous 2 for a while now.

Has anyone played this? What did you think?

It's him again!
Looks Like Blasphemous II Penitent. It Looks Good!
29:58 nah they done put walmart placidusax in this game
This game surely loves bats
"Cold One" Beast? This game doesn't actually take itself very seriously does it?
parabéns você joga muito bem.
The graphic is insane for a 2D game.
Is it possible to build full Instinct as marksman?
Goddamn it I thought it was Eren Yeager in the thumbnail

This is GOTY for me 🐐
