Would the game be better without Stamina?

[LarstheDude]

I've only been playing for about an hour or so so far, and one thing that I personally feel would make the game more fun would be the removal of the stamina system if Ska Studios plans to do a sequel to the game.

I understand that this game wears its heart on its sleeve when it comes to its influences (The Souls Series,) but given the brawler like nature of the game, I find that the stamina system slows down the generally fast-paced fighting. The same mechanic of timing one's attacks in order to avoid becoming vulnerable could be accomplished without a stamina system with slower attacks and longer combos, discouraging button-mashing and encourage deliberate attacks without having to really slow down the combat.

(Also, being able to click on menus with the mouse and less crashes would be swell, too .3.)

Thoughts?

Go play Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher, which were made by SKA, and are beat em-up games.

Stamina is love
Stamina is life
If you treat your Stamina badly you will have a bad time

I think Stamina's good, it's a restriction as well as a mechanic that ties in with Focus and all that jazz. I've only had problems with stamina on Heavy Armor characters that don't use shields because then you don't get the millions of Willpower that you get with Whips and Daggers and all up that Light Weapons/Armor path.

Get the Whistlebone Charm from Hagar's Cavern. It trivializes Willpower to the point you need to put next to nothing into it.

Yeah sorry bro I wouldn't want the stamina system to be taken away. Stamina management is a pretty big aspect of the souls games and seeing as this is for lack of a better word a souls-like game, removing it would be blasphemous. So yeah imo the game is better off having the stamina bar and would be way to easy without it. So unless the devs drastically change the combat system I don't see the bar going anywhere. :)

Stamina is like the defining feature of games like this. It's non-negotiable.

I has so much will power I don't run out of Stamina.

The limited stamina is the key that make this game interesting for me. Because it is very rare on 2D sidescroller game. And it is an integral challenge along with the deadly enemies. Unlimited stamina aka fighting nonstop is already in so many games out there.

That's a fair assessment...

Stamina system is fine, othewise it would be boring like any other platformer and not have the appeal that made Souls fans buy this game.

I did a second run with infinite stamina and it was indeed far more fun. Just keep your level low if you want some challenge.

I just feel that the stamina system just... doesn't fit with this style of game. It could still have deliberate and steady combat without it.

No stamina management would probably just make it a more combat-centric metroidvania-esque game, which probably would still be pretty good. Although if you've ever played some of the DS-vanias or Castlevania HD, it gets pretty spammy, which doesn't work too often in a souls game. It's just one aspect of many that made the Souls and Monster Hunter games great.

WIthout stamina it wouldnt be the 2d souls rip off we all love.

But truly the game would be better with more spindlebeasts those things are hilarious
