how is this different from every other generic chinese bootleg dark souls game?

[clay gamer]

Does this game have anything unique? some sort of spin the other games dont have?

[LightStriker]

The list is rather long and you would have to play it to find out...

But here's one easy; splitscreen/online coop without ever kicking out the second player.

Off of my head I can say that weapons themselves can level up and gain new abilities.

Also not sure if there will be new game+ exactly like in most souls-likes but you can use the idols to increase or decrease difficulty.

There seems to be a decent level of customization with the nanotech as well.

Dang, so nothing game-changing then really.

I've read some reviews on the unlisted demo and the other free playable version on steam and the negatives seem to outweigh the positives by a lot lol

There's also this from the store page:

"The space station orbits in real time around an ominous black hole that triggers various dynamic events such as boss appearances, horde assaults as well as modified enemy stats and positions."

I haven't seen how this works, but it seems like the most interesting mechanic out of the bunch. I guess it'll add some replay value to previous areas when this black hole thing happens, seeing new bosses and enemies.

co-op is not unique. I'm watching the live broadcast right now and it's an obvious wanna-be darksouls clone and the modeling is terrible.

Yeah, it looks pretty bad imo

The game has jumping and there is more verticality than dark souls. Much more platforming and jumping puzzles.

You can have up to 6 abilities (3 for left hand/3 for right hand) equipped besides having a strong, left hand, right as attacks

The level design is more closer to Metroid than dark souls, with lots of hidden secrets that give keys to previously played areas that unlock new paths.

Game flow is also more like Metroid than dark souls, where you unlock new things that help you reach different places.

Coop doesn't require embers/humanity, and can be played at anytime.

There is a bunch of other differences but its a dungeon crawler, it doesn't need to anything revolutionary. Look at how many FPS's on the market do you expect those games to be drastically different with each iteration?

I get what you mean if it a just a "cashgrab" ripoff, then I stir away.
If it functions properly and is fun it's a different story

Only thing I've seen about the jumping/platforming was negative due to the way the character movement feels, so not sure if that's a good thing or not,

wouldn't you agree that the Souls games have the level connectivity that you mentioned? Unlockable shortcuts, doors you can open with keys to unlock a shorter route to a specific spot and so on?

I'd also argue that most (good) FPS games do SOMETHING unique (and they do it well, usually) compared to their counter parts or similar games. If they don't have something unique they usually focus on getting one aspect done really well, for instance, realism.

No, but when I ask for things that are DIFFERENT from dark souls/souls bootlegs and the person proceeds to write things that are in said games, then surely I can point it out?
