Hey guys!
For this weekend’s discussion post, we have an announcement to make. Inspired by the recent post about Elden Ring’s “Seamless Co-op” mod by @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz and all the fun and interesting data they have gathered, @Skua@kbin.earth came up with an idea for an official c/Soulslike Seamless Co-op event!
He made a poll to gather some info which can be found here. Here, you can let him know what your preferred co-op experience looks like (PvP, PvE party, PvE gauntlet), what kind of communication you’d prefer (we have a Discord and a Matrix channel!), and what your general availability looks like.
The event will be taking place on 2nd May (time TBD) on PC only (at this time). The specifics of the event will be ironed out until then going off the information gathered in the poll. Another follow-up post to this one to announce the specifics will follow soon.
What you need:
- a copy of Elden Ring (PC)
- Steam
- a knack for Jolly Co-operation™
- a free Saturday
Here are the links to the Matrix channel and the Discord channel if you’d like to swing by and chat a little until then.
Huge thank you to @Skua@kbin.earth and @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz for coming up with the idea and organising the event - we hope you come by and have a good time!
If you guys have any questions, do let them know.
Have a great weekend y’all ♥
Death Howl is still a good game. I think for me at first glance it looked so amazing that I was half expecting a 9-10/10 and it’s more like a 7.5-8/10. The art is beautiful and never stops being fantastic and the gameplay is very solid. Once you accept that the emphasis is on the grid-based strategy part and solving encounters like puzzles instead of cooking up crazy creative deck combos the game starts to click much better.
The big let down for me is the story, I don’t hate the main conceit of it even though it’s a little played out, but I think it could have been delivered in a much more subtle way so that you connect the dots much later and get a much more impactful end result that way.
Yea it’s more so Into the Breach + Inscryption than Slay the Spire.
Maybe they could have been inspired a little more by Dark Souls in that department :D
Finished it. Man that final stretch was brutal. You do get full unlimited deckbuilding in the final area, that’s where you can use all the cards from all the zones without any extra mana costs. But fuck me, do you need it. The last stretch of 5 elite fights in a row without healing before the last boss was something.
That’s cool! I’ll have to push through and play it again some time
