Konami wrote:Getsu Fuma Descends. It has been 1000 years since the first leader of the Getsu clan defeated the demon lord Ryukotsuki, driving demons back into Hell and restoring order to the world. But when Ryukotsuki abruptly returns and all hell breaks loose, it falls unto a new hero to rise against the threat.
This is pretty insane. They've abandoned Dracula to make a sequel to a Famicom game apparently that plays pretty much like the Dracula games. Even weirder, they released on STEAM, not on console, and even weirdest for a Japanese behemoth, in EARLY ACCESS with a roadmap etc. Crazy stuff. If not for the art and graphics, it's the exact same model of countless "indie" metroidvanias.
Anyway, I bought it of course and will be streaming it later today. Only problem is, side-view action doesn't work well with my Shadow given I am so far away from the data center and get 50+ ms lag. I can play 2D FTGs and belt-scrollers, but that's about it for 2D action: I can't really play STGs or side-view action or platforming that demand more precision. That's why I am not playing Hollow Knight for example. So if this game requires precision, my stream will be a short one. However, it seems to be "soulsbullshit" etc., so maybe I'll be able to play it as those games don't require much precision. It's kind of a shitty thing to wish for though because I certainly don't want to play that kind of game, especially in 2D, I want a precision side-view action game, but there's no way this is that. Anyway, we'll see.
Really this looks like 2D Otogi, like a demake of the Otogis in every way, including the grinding—which I didn't mind in Otogi as I'd have done anything to spend as much time as possible in that world. It's a crime I haven't played the sequel yet. Never even finished the original; came close to finishing it two-three times, but had to bail because of life reasons.
