Trash MOBA, feels like a mobile game

Using Creation Kit makes me want to gouge my eyes out

Finished the first level, my initial thoughts are that the game is pretty bad and plays off of fan's love for the series. Wish they would just port the PS2 game.

- Combat feels clunky and floaty. Granted I don't have the "sub-weapons", but even with the golden age sword and basic combos it feels like a terrible power fantasy. I hit everything and racked up 1,000 kills from the 1st mission. This completely goes against the manga and makes the "hundred-man slayer" title from the manga a joke.

- Literally nothing tried to attack me at all. It asked me if I wanted Easy mode and I said no, and the enemies were literally just staring at me while I killed them.

- The amount of enemies thrown at you is just plain ridiculous. You two shot enemies with a ridiculous hitbox, and it still feels like it takes too long to kill things purely because you are always swarmed.

- Music is trash somehow, just mute it and put on Blood and Guts or Black Swordsman or something.

- That first boss was...wow. Dude had like 3 moves, and I even dodged *into* the attacks with terrible timing for iframes and still didn't take any damage. At one point I just stood still and let him hit me like 3 times and despite being sent flying I took like 1/8th of my HP in damage...

- Combo chains feel really boring and bad. This game apparently released in 2016-2017. DMC3 released in 2005 and completely blows this game out of the water, despite being the same genre. I don't know how they looked at this and genuinely thought it was anything but a cash grab...

- If every map is as massive as the first map then this game is going to be a huge waste of time. I get they want it to seem large, but it just felt unnecessarily open and a pain in the ass to move through.

All in all I enjoy Berserk so I will probably keep it purely due to that (and getting it for $20 due to the sale), but anyone who isn't buying it purely due to it being a Berserk game should stay away.

tl;dr
- Combat is a power fantasy where you fight insane hordes who you two-shot with insane range and literally just stare at you instead of attacking. Combos are boring and you just end up spamming the same one because it's better than the others.

Add cross-save DE I beg of you

Ubisoft on their way to give every new character a 20 damage bash, 30 damage 50/50, enhanced lights, infinite chain, and a spammable unblockable

For a game that released in 2020, this game has disgustingly bad UI. If there is a menu in Fault, you can guarantee that it is going to be incredibly cluttered and difficult to navigate. There are no simple menus, and some things such as the item build paths are mind boggling.

In all other MOBAs I've played, there are item "paths" or "trees" the T1 branches out into two T2 items, and the two T2 items each branch out into their own two for instance. In fault, your build path doesn't matter. You generally get a T1 that leads into two T2s, which doesn't matter because those both lead into the same six(!) T3 items.

That's a very questionable design choice, and confused the hell out of me because the UI is very bad and it shows the items all lead into one T3, but then you press on the bottom right and wait there are 5 more with the same build path where they just swap out the final T3 item.

Also afaik there is no "training" area or tutorial out of "generic moba video tutorial", and with how cluttered the UI is to actually get to where the Heroes have readable abilities good luck to any new players because you get like 15 seconds before the creeps spawn and you get blasted in the face with picking 2 out of (iirc) 16 passives, each having two effects which are both a paragraph. You then also have to navigate the terrible UI for the item shop and read what everything does before going to lane.

And when you get to lane you hold CTRL to pull up your abilities/passives/hero passive, and good luck to new players because if everything I just said wasn't enough to make you late for the first wave then the absolute college thesis you have to read here certainly will.

And all of this is assuming you aren't new to MOBAs, you know what to do and how to play.

Hunt wanted some of that COD money and cooked a new UI only to burn the entire Bayou down.

Menu is so cluttered and impossible to navigate that it makes you not want to play the game, the last UI wasn't perfect but it worked and they replaced it with this HULU abomination. When I can't tell which of the 20 UI prompts on my screan I need to press to do something in EVERY menu we have a problem.

Also skin "rarities" lmao, what is this ♥♥♥♥ warzone. I hope whoever created this UI & whoever greenlit it gets fired in the wake of these reviews.

Port Bloodborne I beg of you

Feel free to kill yourself.
