The devs did say in their IGN live show that they intentionally made the demo more easy than the actual game.
Yea you know they are going to crank those nobs up for the release lol
Pretty normal for these events. A lot of press can barely play games
It's called "game journalist" difficulty level, it's below baby difficulty, which is far below very easy, because none of them can play games...
The only thing they can do is inspecting whether a game is "politically correct" or not.
They said they reduced the difficulty by making your character higher level.
I was about to comment this, glad he enjoyed it regardless
The so called "stamina" bar in this game is actually quite different,
It's called "殺氣(sha chi)" which is literally a combination of two words "殺(kill, murder)" and "氣(aura, momentum)", it's often used in Chinese wuxia novels or movies where masters of martial arts can sense from afar to alert themselves from unseen hostility, or predict the power level of their opponent when facing a dual.
So, maybe the more accurate translation here should be like a "killer momentum".
Therefore, it does not act quite like souls games stamina bars where you consume to preform actions and slowly recover over time,
but in this game, you can fully and instantly recover your "sha chi" by a right timed parry, or by switching main weapons (which has a cooldown for balance reasons), while consuming the "sha chi" by passive actions like standard block moves.
👍so ppl can see dis

Still better living conditions than 90% of the population 😂
Bet it cost a lot too
Prison is so good that it encourages criminals to commit crime.
@@thevalkyrie8especially to the taxpayer.
@@mxgamerprov3767I think the common tax payer should be concerned about the spending on bigger fish, the prison system is a necessary expense government staff are vastly overpaid for the lack of change they bring
Not every Third Person Combat game is a souls like. This looks great and can’t wait for more.
Yeah, why did anything look at a game with a character standing in position and parrying could ever be like Sekiro....
This is tho. Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecter you write this on every comment as if IGN is the definitive, end-all-be-all, voice on this game. It's pathetic.
@@SleeplessSpecterwithin the first 5 minutes of that playthrough the devs said it didn’t play like a souls game and was more similar to dmc. Just because a game has parrying doesn’t mean it’s a souls like.
@@HahahMamaman The devs biggest inspirations were Bloodborne, Sifu, and Metal Gear Rising. That is a quote from a new interview.
Had no idea how anyone was expecting souls combat from this game. It looks nothing like souls combat even from the first trailer. if anything it's more fast paced like the Batman games, but with samurai swords. I'm getting EXACTLY what I expect and I love the sound and looks of this game so far. Hope it doesn't disappoint
It just seems like every game these days that is third person with melee combat gets considered to be a souls-like.
It’s got major Sekiro vibes and an overall FromSoft-like aesthetic
@@bizmonkey007 from soft wasn't the first developer to make cinematic boss fights, with dark Gothic themed art style. Also the combat is nothing like any souls game. There's multi parrying, parkour, long combos.. like where tf is the "from soft" and "sekiro" vibes from? Everytime a studio makes an action combat game with boss fights and the ability to dodge, in a dark Gothic environment, it's always considered a souls. At a certain point, its detrimental to be compared to dark souls because it's ultimately nothing like it
Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecter I think I never saw more stupid manipulative interpretation of sentence ever. "I didnt kill this person" means "I kill someone else" in ur ill mind, I guess?
Glad to hear this. I was worried this game was fake, seems my hype wasn't misplaced
Fake?
@@darkscoutergamer6168 Means it looked too good to be true
@@stylie473joker5 ah bet,thanks 🫡 maybe that’s understandable cause visually it looks cool but hopefully it turns out well
Gonna be a lot of disappointed people who thought it was going to be a more slickly animated souls game.
@1_underthesun it's gonna be hard knowing they lower the difficulty at these types of events
Yess, another game with combat style like DMC is all i wanted. Getting fatigue of Soulslike games.
You'll love lost soul aside then no release date but do yourself ap favor and check it out it's more dmc like than this this is more along the lines of Ninja Gaiden which both are my all time favorite action games
Phatom Blade Zero never looked like a souls borne to me; it always looked like a hack and slash style adventure game so Im glad to hear its more of that than a souls borne. Im definitely sold.
To be precise, it's more like DMC
It reminded me of a more stylized Ninja Gaiden with how fast paced the combat was. This game is definitely on my radar
@@linshitaolst4936Even better. So damn tired of all third person combat games being turned into souls likes nowadays.
The dual parry animation triggers when you execute an enemy and another one tries to attack you from the back. It is rather rare because it requires very specific positioning and this demo frankly didn't include too much segments where you can fight multiple enemies at the same time. I watched some vids from the content creators who went to Beijing for an early demo and only one of them was able to trigger it. I wonder if anyone will be able to capture some live footage today or tomorrow.
Do you have the link? I would love to see it in action
Yeah tell the vdo
It’s gotta be similar to Arkham,
Triangle to counter when more than one enemy attacks.
For me, I don’t think that’s unreasonable to believe, with what else they’ve managed to accomplish with this combat.. I do feel like this combat will spoil us a little lol. I was fully expecting to hear that it’s ALL canned animations and the actual swords to sword clashing was part of some scene..
Really impressed!
Hope the story is cool too 😢
Oh can you tell me which platform and which creator to search for to see that? I know you cant post links in YT comment
@@sjneow They have launched a trial play invitation in China, most of which are Chinese media, so a lot of information is conveyed through Chinese channels. To be honest, I think most people won't understand it, so there's no need to look for it
The weapon stamina idea sounds really interesting. I cant wait to get a chance to play it myself. Just watching the trailers alone, i can hardly wrap my head around how the controls are gonna work even with you explaining. But i think thats a good thing. Probably the best game of the show for me.
glad its not another soulslike
It is tho. Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecter they only mentioned level design is more souls but the combat is pretty much DMC with parries. Action rpg was invented long before souls-games 🥱
@@SleeplessSpecter it's not idiot it's more like devil may cry
@@tomgu2285 I know that really makes you upset but I’ve played both DMC and Sekiro and this is 90% Sekiro, 10% DMC. All good tho bud. You don’t have to buy it
@@SleeplessSpecter Are you dumb?
According to the devs at IGN the demo difficulty was lowered
Funny if the difficulty was set for the demo at "Reviewer" dificulty for all the non-gamer reviewer in there😂
Apparently according to IGN that's exactly what happened
Devs did say that difficulty is for review purpose only
The action game genre has still not recovered from the comatose state that is known as soulslike combat style.
What are you yapping about lol
@@nunuonroad9969Stop crying kid, he’s right
@@darkgoddarkseid2824 what are you yapping about now? Just say you suck at em, blaming the entire genre for apparently ruining games makes you sound like a bitter loser. The irony of calling me a kid 😂
@@darkgoddarkseid2824 the irony of calling me a child. blaming an entire genre cause you either don’t like it or suck at it is childish af. Grow up or go outside touch some grass, maybe interact with a female
@@nunuonroad9969moron
So more Ninja Gaiden than Sekiro then. Sounds cool
Knowing the difficulty was lowered it might end up being as hard as ninja gaiden
@@sci-fiknight8084 Hopefully this game blows up so team ninja can get off their ass and make NG4
@ulrix_4466 you think they would make it like dmc 5 or action games where it's a stuck angle from time to time(jak &daxter, god of war) or like the games not like dark souls or batman or the division where it's close to the player or a cycle of both?
@@sci-fiknight8084 a dmc 5 ninja gaiden game would go so crazy. You’re making me fiend for more dmc content 😩😩😩
this game is all i wanted for years : dark astethics, old methalogy, fast movement, amazing animations
i mean these bosses are probably just to show what the game is like and kinda for learning the basics. i very much expect that they will make end game bosses very difficult.
That and they made it easy to get people in and out fairly. Is my guess
@@LaloLanderos16they do it every time
The devs said they toned down the difficulty for the demo, by giving you a high level character.
It's freaking ridiculous that people looked at this game and thought souls. This combat looks way more like old school action just like what they said which would be more Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry. Those old school action games played more like fighting games, combos and all.
No it's not "ridiculous" because the initial trailer and even the gameplay trailer was very much leaning into Sekiro but with QTE finishes....
That was literally the entire trailer. Nowhere in the trailer did I see DMC. Nowhere. It is, yet again, misleading Chinese marketing. Get ready because it's going to be happening more and more.
The dev basically gaslight us, like it pronounces "JIF" not "GIF"
Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecterdude....pathetic
They did the same with black myth wukong n rise of the ronin, where winds meet. People see a game with swords n think souls like.
The IGN hands on showcase they did with the devs today, they said they lowered the difficulty for the show. So i wonder if they did the same with journalists just to get a taste.
No they said they lowered the difficulty for the demo not just the stage showcase, so yeah the demo everyone played was at a lower difficulty.
The demo is review purpose only the difficulty they showed was lowered it's max character level as well
This information is priceless Luke! You are a legend!
The kick-and-kill animation is indeed do-able (a Bilibili content creator 贞子菇凉 did it twice, witnessed by many other content creators, in a previous private session held in China), and it seems like that it needs the “minions” to be in some specific positions relative to the player when the execution animation starts.
I guess it's somewhat like the combat animations as in old AC games, where it plays different execution animations if the conditions are met.
On a side note, from what I've heard, the playing combat animations should be interruptable by dashes and defense. It is also said that the defense actions won't break the flow of the attacking animation, so that the players can tap defense (or perfect-parry) in-between their attacks to parry off the attack and continue their aggressive attacks.
if it's more like devil May cry sounds amazing really tired of souls clones ❤️
I never thought of this as a souls-like, I never wanted it to be a souls-like, I never want to hear that again. I swear if I hear someone say "souls-like" one more time, I will break something.
Souls-like.....
Fr man I'm so, so tired of that whole sub genre and the insufferable fans gassing up the dodge simulators with PS3 era combat.
Souls-like

I love Souls games but I’m with you.. I don’t need everything to be a Souls-like because Elden Ring sold a bazillion copies. I love a good DMC-like as well.. Which thankfully is what this game is like, with FromSoft level design (according to the devs).
Womp womp
Can’t wait to try this out at Tokyo Game Show in September.
remind me of stellar blade, that i'm doing right now, love the fact that the beat'em all genre is coming back !!
I'm now interested in this game, I'm nearly 40 years old, I work long hours and have 2 sons which is why I have no time for souls like games.
I don't wanna die a million times and don't have the patience to get good so this game definitely now has my attention
I like the whole Mr. Rogers - taking off the shoes, schtick at the beginning, Luke lol..
Breaking news! Not every dark tone game with boss fights is a Soulslike game! 😅 Luke's reaction is very telling on how players have put FromSoftware games as the gold standard, and if it is not a painful, hard, challenging and almost sadomasochistic experience is not worth it! Let's rate new games on what they are trying to achieve and not compare them instantly with other games!
Are you… are you sleeping in an office stairwell?
So glad to hear this because I can’t stand souls combat. To me it’s just not fun. It sounds like DMC with a little ghost of Tsushima. I hope it’s not too easy but I’m pumped for this one.
Yall theres a full demo video on IGN of the DEVS playing it during an interview. Go watch it
They actually had hats like that they would throw on targets then pull the rope it was attached to in order to trigger the blades and decapitate. I rememeber an episode of myth busters on it. It was in old Kung Fu movies
Yes, it is called blood drop "血滴子". It is a fierce weapon in Chinese martial arts novels.
“The combat isn’t like souls like games”, all I’m hearing is the combat is better and smoother lol.
Just say you suck at Souls games lol
Definitely glad it's not a souls-like. Don't get me wrong, I love the souls genre. But I'm just glad to see a good old fashioned action adventure hack 'n slash with a cool predetermined character. Reminds me of the 6th gen and some of the 7th. We don't get these types of games much anymore.
I was worried that the combat would be click one button but it having dmc type combat has me excited
About some movements in the trailer, it's actually kind of execuation animation which depends on the positions of the enemies. When in different positions it will trigger different animations. So yeah, it's kind of rare for some of them.
Not beeing a souls like game but more of a DMC game is exactly what i wanted to hear. Fast passed combat
I get the same sense how he’s describing the games difficulty the same as back in the day when you give the extra controller to your little brother and then play the game for him and have him think he’s playing and is that good at it 😆
The developers tuned down the demo to easy mode for people to enjoy the combos and game mechanics.
And they wanted to prove that none of the combos were cinematic or fakes. They showed all of it in the IGN Demo as well.
Damn now I am really excited. It sounds like how you could chain combos in Rising Revengeance and Ninja Gaiden (whatever it was called back in the 360)

Not a souls like?? Day1.
It is tho. Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecteryou are pathetic
@@SleeplessSpecter lmao the devs just said it’s not a souls like lil bro. Thats what you get for listening to ign.
@@drvnzer1128 The devs also said their 3 big inspirations were Bloodborne, Sifu, and Metal Gear Rising. And there is obviously a Sekiro influence in the game. Lots of mixed messaging from the devs but if you know Souls-likes, you know this game falls into that category. Sorry lil bro.
I still can't believe the game actually plays like the trailers. I'm so hyped for it
Looking forward to this a lot.
I play fighting games. Combos and parries are my thing.
Looks great!
Glad to hear positive things about this game, it looks really cool but as many other was worried because it certainly looked too good to be true
Is it running at 60?
How would you compare the game to Stellar Blade combat?
From the looks of this, they just wanted people to get hands on experience and either they made it much easier or there is a difficulty setting. Either way I am so pumped for this game, it honestly looks great.
9:00 That's a Flying Guillotine
Yes, thank you! I immediately thought of Master of the Flying Guillotine when I saw the clip.
Or "blood drop" when translated plainly from Mandarin.
Yeap I'm sold
As much of a “FromSoftie” I am and play lots of souls likes-I’m glad they’re wanting to take a different direction it’s good to find new trends and advancements in the industry-it just leads to more good games out there! I can see some might want to still compare it to the Soulslikes and Sekiro but I often wonder if it’s because FromSoft just came forward with their formula first and yeah ofc they set the bar high or else we wouldn’t have mega Miyazaki fans out there…like me! 😅.
it's not a new trend. it's called action game or hack n slash. it's an existing classic genre that has been around for many years.
That weapon stamina reminds me of the seperate ATB bars on the FF13 Lightning Returns outfits
30-40 hour games need to be the norm. My lifes too short to play all these 500 hour open world overwhelming games. As for this game the combat looks incredible i just hope the story has a punch
So looking forward to this game!
Was it running at 60 or 30 fps?
God, I am so glad that this game won't be a souls-like, I think we need more games with devil may cry or god of war style combat.
The one time he adds the outro I changed the video at the end, had to come back for it 💯🤣🔥
Weapon stamina is kind of a weird idea, IMO - just because “that’s not how this works”… but I’m definitely looking forward to this
Like ship stamina in Skull and Bones. What's with giving inanimate objects stamina lately?
But who knows, maybe they'll do it slick where it's not the weapon that has stamina, but different weapons use different muscles, so it's the actual characters stamina. Like when I go to the gym and do 5 sets of bench presses, the stamina level of my chest muscles is almost at 0, but that doesn't mean I can't squat as much as I normally do.
Logically, that would make more sense, but then they'd have to get creative with the weapons so they weren't all arm wielded weapons.
Those are called Phantoms in the game mechanics and they're more like special abilities you can use mid combat, hence the cooldown.
thanks luke. looks awesome
It looks incredible
That game combat is something else is so fucking good never seen a combat like that this is something new and ppl just talking about souls like shit 😮💨
Xeno blade
Hell blade
Stellar blade
Phantom blade
blade
Thought someone was at my front door at 7:31 lmao
1:44. I just watched the 10 minutes of footage. At first, I thought it looked like a hack n' slash, a la DMC/Bayonetta. But as it went on, I'm like, "It looks like a faster version of Sekiro." I'm definitely gonna have to try a demo at some point
The devs said onstage the demo yall played was scaled down in difficulty as well for the demo specifically. And you can animation cancel
Honestly, Everything you're saying here is exactly what I wanted to hear
They lowered the difficulty for the demo. The devs said when they were previewing it. Also they have difficulty settings.
A very nice and informative video
Game looks awesome, can’t wait! Love souls games but more than anything I miss the days of classic god of wars and ninja gaidens. This seems to be exactly what I was looking for.
So like Sifu but with weapons that last longer?
yess my first reaction to it was it gives dmc vibes and im so happy to be right.
I have a GREAT FEELING about this game. ( Phantom Blade)
Did you get arrested? Not a bad cell
2 pilliows and a queen bed with a Steel Door
That bell shape weapon is based off a real historical weapon used during the Qing Dynasty.
If it plays more like a hack and slash than a souls-like then that's good news, we need more action games.
Thank god it’s not a Souls like, I just what to hack and slash with a beautiful visuals and story with the frustrations of a Souls game.
Im so hyped for this game!
Good. I’m sick of 8/10 fantasy games being souls-like.
Big meat helmet boy’s weapon is called The Flying Guillotine!, and there’s an awesome old school kung fu movie based on it!
It's even in boondocks😂
Oh thank God!
That bell weapon is actually a mythical weapon in chinese history. This was used by a squad secret imperial guards that only answers directly to the emperor. Interestingly no one actually knows how the weapon looks like, and records only says this weapon can behead enemies remotely.
This game reminds me of the Scene in the Sucker Punch movie
I really hope this a full on character action game. Stellar Blade also has "combos" and looked like it was going the DMC route but at the end of the day plays like a souls game. No shade to Souls Fromsoft is awesome but I'm tired of these action games defaulting to that style. We barely get games like DMC anymore.
I totally agree with you buddy and i had the same feeling for stellar then i didn’t buy it when i played the demo .. we miss DMC / Ninja Gaiden vibes that type is almost dead (which is my fav) i still have faith in this one hope we wont be disappointed
Both styles are extremely fun to see ppl play for me. I like games that step outside of popularity. Never played devil may cry so I may play to prepare. This sounds so fun
@@aswaswasw2323 Unfortunately after seeing gameplay for myself it seems it plays like DMC in the loosest sense. Camera and lock on works like Souls not DMC so fighting multiple enemies at once might be discouraged or a janky nightmare (looking at you Stellar Blade). There's no launcher or aircombos which is DMC's whole thing. DMC's combat is also very technical with pause windows and motion inputs to do specific moves which there was no sign of during the Phantom Blade demo. Of course it was a tutorial demo so maybe it gets crazy later on but so far I'm not seeing the inspiration the devs on stage talked about. I guess the DMC inspiration just means the combat isn't slow and it has combos lol. Game still looks awesome but from what they showed so far I wouldn't use DMC when describing it.
Happy to hear it’s not a souls like. I dislike souls like’s because im bad at them and don’t like the combat in those games. This game looks amazing and im so hyped for it
Go watch the Ign playthrough. He literally says, “it’s not your typical souls-like.” Meaning that it’s a Souls-like with there own twist on it. Cope 😂
@@SleeplessSpecter okay and? It’s a souls like cool, but that still doesn’t change the fact that the combat in this game looks better than combat in any other souls or souls like game. I’d say this is a stylish souls-like and I’m loving it
@@gto_jojolion7021 Time will tell. It’s definitely copying the best
@@SleeplessSpecterand there he is again...pathetic kid
I hope it plays like stellar blade
Luke being positive 😮😮
We knew it was gunna be a dmc/mgr. 🔥
This sounds like the combos from Stellar Blade
So it's like StreetFighter but with Swords? Where you have to press certain buttons to get a animation
Basically. Sounds like a bit of that mixed with DMC.
Man, the game looks gorgeous!
I wonder what the PC requirements will be for this.
So its like onichanbaraa's bloody weapon system, nice
Was sold when you said not a souls like
So it's more like stellar blade than souls, hell yeah 👍
that hotel room needs some decoration
its a soulslike with dmc combat mechanic and very cool animations i love it i hope they release it on pc too
He just said multiple times it isn't souls like
they will.its not exclusive
It's not a souls like idiot.
Jesus bro… I live in L.A. and I’ve never seen a hotel room like that.
That games looks incredible, it’s like a kung fu wuxia movie
is it more ninja gaiden?
Kinda. They said a lot of PS2 games inspired this game, one of those being Ninja Gaiden
If the game is like souls like , that would disappointing but I'm glad that devs said it's more like ninja gaiden and dmc , the nostalgia of pure horror and stress of ninja gaiden ever difficulty is pure adrenaline.
