Encounters that are tense, addictive and more cunning in their design than the preceding fight. ![]() Its visual style and meandering between one vaguely-expositing NPC to the next may feel at times like some checking-off of requirements the game deems apt to include.īut it soon becomes apparent that the world, the environment, the reason for you and your nameless, silent-protagonist avatar being here is mere secondary to the real beating heart that lies at Eldest Souls‘ core. Eldest Souls may not be the most lengthy or tangential of this crop of games. Originality, or at the very least a means to redefine that very modern standard, is what will truly sell your creation. But honest this inspiration might be, replicating one of gaming’s most recognizable contemporary traits in game design will only get you so far. Whether that’s one of curiosity, disdain or something in the middle Fallen Flag, like so many before (and no doubt after) them, aren’t shying away from their influences. ![]() And while a certain series with that word attached may not the undisputed purveyor of such things as apocalyptic settings, challenging boss fights and painstakingly-tight combat, it’s not hard to see why any game, let alone one entirely revolving around boss battles, would instinctively get a particular look thrown its way. It’s clear that you need a hook or two if you’re going to go about brandishing a name or game title with the word “Souls” in it. How it configures and handles the fundamentals of gameplay - how players are meant to survive, let alone move and hope to land an attack or two at the towering, godly monstrosity they’re up against this time.
