Dungeon crawling action RPG Asker, from Neowiz, sets a date for Open Beta.
Unsouled is a hyper-challenging ARPG. It’s basically a spiritual successor to Onimusha, with a twist: beautiful pixel art.
Ok, so it has advanced abilities and mechanics, but visually and gameplay wise I mean...
wtf, why did I replied!?
Visually it looks nothing like Onimusha. Gameplay wise, I’m not sure where you’re getting the connection from… like you’re saying because you swing a sword and have advanced abilities it’s a spiritual successor to Onimusha? That’s like saying a game where you shoot a gun and have healing items is like Resident Evil.
Onimusha was initially Resident Evil set in feudal Japan. Sure they decided to make it it’s own IP due to differences similarly to what they did to Devil
May Cry when that was initially RE4.
Is there back tracking and puzzle solving? Do you use red orbs, blue orbs, or yellow orbs to refill health, magic, and level up?
I’d even argue aesthetics is important when making connections to a game series. I don’t see that at all here.
Also, aren’t spiritual successors literally the creation of a game from previous developers that try their best to recreate the game as a new IP without breaching copyright laws? Bloodstained is a good example of a spiritual successor to Castelevania.
I dunno, man. I don’t see the connections at all.
Also, wtf, I have no idea why you replied…
I completely agree!!! Sorry but i figured you replied to my post. I said HLDrifter and than I saw - how did I get that conclusion?. My bad.
Ha, no worries.
I completely agree with you that it looks more like Hyper Light Drifter. I was responding to the editor of the article.
Korean developer and publisher, Neowiz Games, recently announced its new non-target action MMORPG, Asker: The Light Swallowers, will enter Closed Beta 2 from 25 June to 28 June.
"Originally announced as Project Black Sheep, Asker: The Light Swallowers is an upcoming MMORPG from Mega Man Online developer Neowiz. Yes, Asker is set in a fantasy world, but you don’t have to hack and slash enemies. Throwing barrels is also effective."
