Thread 721111453

I love dungeon crawling, and I HATE grid movement!

There are like a billion Legend of Grimrocks and literally ZERO Arx Fatalis clones.

Why is that??

>>721111453 (OP)
Because you just like crappy casual action adventure games

>>721111453 (OP)
Turn-based is cheap and real-time is hard.
Why do you think japs made like 1 million jrpgs but only 1-2 actual rpgs? It's not cost effective when the main appeal is the anime chars.

Ultima Underworld

>>721111453 (OP)
still never fully grasp understood this game thus making me inferior

>>721111562
>Because you just like crappy casual action adventure games

Okay then?
So do lots of other people.
Why are there no other games like it?

>>721111636
>literally over 30 year old game

this can't be it

>>721111453 (OP)
ultima underworld of course
monomyth but its in early access for whoever knows how long

>>721111453 (OP)
The only even remotely similar game is Monomyth, but it's still in early access and will remain so for at least another year or two since it's a solo project.

>I've turned myself into a chicken, Am Shagar!

Go play ultima underworld then, that's literally was Arx is, hell it was originally pitched as a sequel to it.

>>721111931
*what

First 2 replies are retarded so I'm not staying in this thread
Go backwards and play might and magic 6/7 and wizardry 8

>>721111810
this is the best thing i saw today lmao
goated game

>>721111453 (OP)
I've heard it compares to some immersive sim games but haven't played it so I can't be the judge.

>>721111745
>Why are there no other games like it?
Dying light just released yet another crappy game

>>721111453 (OP)
Dark Messiah

>>721111453 (OP)
Neverlooted Dungeon is the one I'm most excited for. The physics and traps are amazing.

>>721112279
have u ever actually played arx u retart

monomyth
labyrinth of demon king
kings field
shadow tower

>>721111453 (OP)
Ultima Underworld
Ultima Underworld 2
Prey
Underworld Ascendant

>>721113316
>Underworld Ascendant
Never mention this again or I'll use a testicular torsion spell on you

>>721113316
>Underworld Ascendant
just cause it has the word underworld in it doesnt mean it plays like it

game was the result of an intern discovering havok physics and going "yea this will allow for emergent problem solving!"

>>721113526
>game was the result of an intern discovering havok physics and going "yea this will allow for emergent problem solving!"
whats wrong with that?

>>721111581
Which 1-2 actual rpgs are you referring to?

>>721113768
cause we all got tired of the lever puzzle 20 years ago with hl2

>>721111453 (OP)
Dark Messiah is 10x better than this janky slop tech demo.
>>721112590
Yeah I gave up after it became clear it was more invested in useless im-sim reactions than being a good dungeon crawler with good combat.

>>721113901
I still dont understand how thats a problem, if they elaborated and improved upon those puzzles with a new stronger focus, then I might play it. Its rare enough for actual action adventure games to have a strong focus on puzzles, rarer even for RPGs its typically some one off gimmick thats barely interactive, maybe inputing a password, or rotating symbols.
HL2 even with its physics barely had puzzles either.

>>721113882
Hmm I dunno maybe From Soft stuff, or the occasional jrpgs that aren't dvd menu simulators, like Ys, Star Ocean, Phantasy Star, etc.
Capcom also made some rpg-lite stuff as well though a lot more action focused

>>721114046
Well then go ahead and enjoy Underworld Ascendant!

>>721113901
Is that why the new zeldas were so successfull?

>>721114186
i'm choking on your bait.

>>721114072
>it gets good after the 5 hour mark
garbage. The Nintendo Wii spell drawing gimmick doesn't change that.

>>721114273
>Literally too retarded for Arx
Grim

Have you tried skyrim ?

>>721114335
Everyone knows you posers savescum through it. Not like it matters since it's an im-sim sandbox anyway

>>721111562
>bold claim
>no examples of the contrary
Shitpost.

>>721114257
yes nintendo players simply never encountered it before

>>721114580

>>721111453 (OP)
That's why I'm making one: GloamSnarl.
Please keep a note. No grid movement, free movement with light platforming. Milestone based achievement leveling. Skills based on equipment AND learned/trained class skills. Town/City development. You also play as cool monster races like skeletons, goblins, orcs, and oni.

It's not 100% underground, so I lose the parallel to Arx Fatalis there.

you could try lunacid if you're ok with completely one note braindead gameplay made by a troon apologist

>>721115301
If this ends up being another fucking schizoslop game I'm going to reach through the internet and twist your balls.

>>721115301
good luck with youre game i like the webm at least

>>721115301
Nice visual style.
>Skills based on equipment
Say what?

>>721115649
this
and if I see one stupid anime face I'm refunding

>>721115649
I'm not familiar with schizoslop. What are the defining features? Stuff like Cruelty Squad?
If so, that's not the intent at all. Making a more grounded, traditional experience based on classic RPGs like Wizardry, Etrian Odyssey, Ultima Underworld, W&W; just with some unique features and flavor.
>>721115767
Thank you. It's slow and tedious lol.
>>721115863
Yes. Your main skills in battle are switched out entirely based on what equipment you use. For instance: bringing a rapier allows for agility based piercing damage, or a large 2handed hammer bestows both a large single-target smash or a wide swing that hits multiple targets.
>>721115983
No anime aesthetics planned. Just 90s CRPG stuff.

>>721111807
>this can't be it
It honestly kind of is and it's tragic

>>721111453 (OP)
Exanima

>>721115301
I will only play your game if you love King's Field II (called KF in the US because the actual first one was Japan-only) and KF IV.

>>721113997
Arcuck Faggotix is a 4/10 slop
Dark Messiah shits all over it

ultima underworld obviously
monomyth
maybe lunacid
>>721113316
>Underworld Ascendant
complete dogshit AVOID
the guy making monomyth started specifically because of how shit ascendant ended up being
