The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has new details on Code Vein, Bandai Namco’s new action RPG from its God Eater
team.
Here are the new details, via a developer interview in the magazine:
--The game is set in a world where time has passed after it was destroyed by a certain cause. Now, modern society is made up of adjoining lands.
--Your purpose as a Revenant is to survive. As you fight, you will get closer to the truth of the world.
--The protagonist is a short-haired man, and the red-haired man and the woman wearing the Russian hat are NPCs.
--The player character can be freely customized. Gender can also be set. A wide range of customization is possible, allowing you to make a heroic and cool-looking character.
--The game will feature growth elements with a very high degree of freedom, allowing you to develop your character in a way that matches your play style.
--Rather than progress by clearing stages, you’ll explore the world of adjoining lands on your own feet.
--There are a large variety of fields. Each area has enemies with different characteristics, as well as area-specific mechanics. The volume should be satisfying.
--Even if your Buddy character dies, you can continue exploring. You can also explore on your own without bringing along a Buddy.
--The concept of “death” does not exist. Even if you’re out of action, if time passes, you can become activate again (retry again from a checkpoint).
--They’re re not trying to put difficulty at the forefront, but there will be challenges.
Code Vein is due out worldwide for unannounced platform(s) in 2018.
Azfar from NoobFeed writes: Code Vein is a game that fans of complex RPGs, who also enjoy anime stories and customization, will appreciate. It doesn't replace Dark Souls, but it doesn't have to; it's a unique work of art in its own right.
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look back at five video games where you are better off "staying inside" as the "outside" is actually much worse!
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
Lies of P and Wuchang Fallen Feathers are best soulsikes to me. I slightly prefer Wuchang ut they’re both awesome. I’d say Black Myth Wukong too but it’s a little more action than most souls games but it could fit in there as well.
Beautiful just beautiful
This just keeps sounding better and better
the NPC isnt forced on you
you can customize the character
I told you, Swiftfox
