    So…. how are they going to explain the looking nearly exactly like Hyper Light Drifter in looks and gameplay? Like, is “Blue dude with a facemask/scarf and magic going to be the next indie trope?

    I really wouldn’t mind tho, HLD was great and made me actually wish there were more games like it.

  • Malcolm_Ecks

    But so closely like it though? Isn’t this kind of thing gamers shit on franchises like COD and others for?

  • Surely

    COD is railed on for looking like itself for every iteration with very little actual change in-between.

    I’d say this is moreso heavily inspired by hyper light drifter.

  • Malcolm_Ecks

    Heavy on the heavily inspired side. I’m seeing the same abilities and style of gameplay here. I’m not claiming HLD created all the mechanics in the game, but this game is going to get compared to HLD to its determent. Its not like Terraria to Starbound or Harvest Moon to Stardew Valley.

  • Surely

    How so?

    Teleportation, Dash attacks, both protagonists make use of a blue beam sword for melee attacks. Both games have a very similar dark 16 bit aesthetics. They look like they play almost exactly the same and look almost exactly the same. I don’t know what’s confusing about this. This is like Overwatch Vs. Paladins kind of closeness.

    Maybe it’s set in the same world?
