Comment on I'm loving zelda-like souls-likes right now
jericho_cross@lemmy.zip 5 days agoThank you for this. These are exactly the moment-to-moment annoyances that really add up. It’s one thing to have a tough boss or an annoying level, but if the entire dodge mechanic is annoying then I don’t think I’d stick with beating the game. And this game doesn’t look good enough (to me) to get past those annoyances.

I really like the burrow move. Dodge rolls tend to be extremely OP in anything souls inspired. Players don’t really need to properly understand the enemies because they get a pretty healthy amount of iframes with minimal startup and sometimes even no cost at all. It’s definitely something that needs adjusting to and you’ll get your shit slapped a lot if you’re used to souls style dodging. There are trinkets that make your mercy invincibility and stuff better but I’m honestly not a huge fan of how they do trinkets. Too many of them have a “why isn’t this just default?” feel to em.
