My take on the demo

[Soulless_666]

The first impression I got was very positive as the game looks just awesome and I'd really like to buy the game at launch. Here is the cons though:
- No ultrawide monitor support
- FPS drops
- The parry system feels totally fckdup
- After getting hit by a boss the lock on is lost
Dear devs, keep up the good work.

The parry system is like dark souls. There's a delay and then parry frames. It's more challenging than an inst-parry but I don't know why you'd say it's f'd.

I think it's interesting because it means the shield is more interesting and useful, depending on what you're facing. In insta-parry soulslikes, I just parry everything and it gets old. In this game, for example, for the final boss I used parry for the first phase, and shield for the second. It reminded me of stance-switching in Nioh

I'm also a souls/nioh veteran and know how this stuff should work. In the last boss fight I could parry 2-3 attacks, but somehow by a good luck. Most likely the delay was confusing me. In my opinion this should be reworked.

All I know is I was fighting the big beastie in the cell and it slammed its fist down, and I walked in like a full half to full second after the fact and still got hit. I'll wait for a sale on the game, it's just dark souls/code vein so I know what to expect.

You should come back later or use door cheese it.
