While Eldest Souls takes inspiration from Dark Souls and the like, I’d describe the experience as more akin to Furi. Players can retry boss fights with backtracking, which removes the burden of death. Therefore, I found it best to learn the bosses’ moves before actually trying to defeat them. Chances are, players will have difficulty activating it without dying a few times first. Having it active as consistently as possible is ideal, but it’s obviously not that simple.īloodthirst is not blindly gained since it requires understanding the fights to get the most out of it. It always pays off to get Bloodthirst active, but its charge time demands its usages to be planned in conjunction with dashing and proper comprehension of boss patterns. Another useful combative tool is dashing, which grants a brief period of invincibility. The Bloodburst technique deserves mention as it delivers a sizable chunk of damage that rids the current activation of Bloodthirst. While active, movement and attack speed are noticeably swifter, and dealt damage is exponentially greater. This buff is a literal game-changer, with it enhancing all aspects of combat. Charged attacks are a vital component to achieving victory as they deal more damage depending on the length of the charge time, but they also provide a buff known as ‘Bloodthirst.’ Due to how rapid combat tends to be, the absent restriction of not being able to absolutely obliterate bosses when they’re open would limit any challenge. The size of the wielded sword may depict the impression of it being indicative of a slow swing speed, but it never felt frustrating to use across the myriad of battles.Īlongside light attacks, there’s a charged attack tied to a Stamina gauge, which is irritating to deal with but unquestionably necessary. The player character controls naturally, with cohesive movement and attacks. This success is due to how the title is essentially a boss-rush, including other lite mechanics. Nevertheless, the plot is rarely in your face, and instead, there for those who require more insight into the situation at hand.Ĭombat is Eldest Soul’s primary factor, and it shines brilliantly. Still, this is far from a selling point and is more of a supplement to the gameplay.
There’s a considerable degree of lore and dialogue to dive into. Additionally, NPCs such as bards occasionally make appearances, providing their own deliveries of the world’s circumstances and their place in it. Aside from a cinematic here and there granting exposition, the rest of the story is found through scattered texts. The narrative of Eldest Souls is depicted through a non-intrusive lens. With humanity in a state of chaos, the Gods perform their last act of revenge which ruins the world’s ecosystems.
There was once an army known as The Great Crusade tasked with ridding the world of these gods, but these soldiers are seemingly no more. Eldest Souls has players control a solitary warrior, approaching the fabled Old Citadel, where numerous Imprisoned Gods dwell.
