As a brawler it's pretty fun, and kind of arcadey. As a loot game it's OK. There is a lot of stuff to find and upgrade with, but it starts to feel a little tedious after a while. As an RPG it's a bit shallow. Pretty generic leveling system. The levels are branching, so that helps cut down on repetitive questing. The bosses are interesting. The story isn't great, but serves it's purpose.
Overall I liked it, and I'm hoping to hear that Vanillaware has a new game coming out sometime soon.
info_paradox: I'm switching between Dragon's Crown, Terraria, and Guilty Gear Xrd at the moment.
I'll probably be checking out No One Lives Forever soon.
I'm waiting for Persona 5 and Tales of Zestiria to come out.
Zestiria was going to be my big summer game, but it got pushed back from Q2.
cecil: I really want to play Dragon's Crown is it as good as it looks?
NoNewTaleToTell: Lemma (demo). It's a Mirror's Edge clone in terms of gameplay (first person parkouring) with a unique setting.
Ignoring the story and setting (I haven't seen enough to speak on it) the gameplay is (in my opinion) much better than Mirror's Edge. The controls feel natural and there are a lot less buttons to press though you're doing the same moves as in Mirror's Edge, and the overall character movement itself is solid (no sliding on glass style movement).
Each area is linear but open, in the sense that there is an "exit" to each area but you're free to explore and there are things to discover if you do a bit of wandering.
Graphically it looks great, it uses voxels to make a blocky Minecraft-y world but with clean modern high quality textures to avoid resorting to a tired 8/16bit look. The world is fairly surreal and dreamlike, each area seems to be a filled with mounds of bricks creating walkways and walls, abandoned towers and ruins, all just hanging in the sky .
All in all I'm enjoying the demo and would like to pick up the full game sooner or later.
cecil: Where'd you get the demo from? that does sound really fun. If it is for Mac i'd add it to my watch list.
LJChronx: An update on Dust: An Elysian Tail. I must be taking my sweet time, as Ive played 6 - 7 hours already and am still in chapter 2. I just unlocked my sliding ability, which is nice. So many places to explore now...
After my first hour or two I was wondering if the game was going to get repetitive and I stuck with it and Im glad I did. I like the Metroidvania gameplay a lot and of course the graphics are gorgeous. Great game and I believe I won the game in a giveaway here on GoG (I think, sorry to the person who donated if that's the case, might have bought it on sale). Either way, I would pay for it in a heartbeat.
cecil: I loved that game so much it's probably one of the best games I've played lately if not ever. Art style alone is awesome only thing I didn't love about it was the ending.
