ULTRAKILL is objectively better than Combat Initiation, if you own ULTRAKILL there is literally no reason to play Combat Initiation. Not that CI is bad, but it's not worthwhile playing if you have access to the source material. EDIT: After some replies it was made clear to me that the leading factor of Combat Initiation is its multiplayer aspect. I don't disagree with that, but same point remains for everything else.

another tiny thing: this game was greatly inspired by Ultrakill, meaning a lot of things you think might work do. my favorite thing to do with the slateskin potion and cannonball/timebomb is fly above the (current) final bosses head and quite literally slam dunk on it. it also topples the entire thing and my god is it fucking amazing.

3:30, for anyone curious to try the game, the sword isn’t actually that bad, it has several combos which are incredibly game changing, most notable being the early game Sword and Slingshot combo, which can turn into sword and Flamethrower. Both of those items have a little,mechanic from ultrakill, where you can fire off a “coin”, and hit it with the sword, similar to the flamethrower except it’s slower and explodes on hit. (I saw my friend use this in our duo run, and it killed damn near everything.) Oh! And there’s pogoing, which is hard to explain but is a very good movement option.

pogoing is when you use a sword and swing in the air on some sort of surface. I LOVE this mechanic because if you do a double jump dash you can pogo and keep your momentum until you hit the pogo limit and its so fun just zooming around killing everything.

This game is basically a cool spin on ultrakill, where as there you mostly have weapons with variations, in CI you get to have 3 or 4 weapons by the end of stage 4 (latest stage at the time of writing) and instead or getting variations, you upgrade your existing weapon. The upgrades are usually either a buffed version of the existing weapon (katana, cannonball, multi rocket launcher) or a new gimmick (for example, firebrand has slower speed, sets on fire, fire blast attack) There's a good reason like every comment is comparing it to ultrakill, as a lot of the weapons, techs, enemies and bosses are basically stylized recreations of their ultrakill countrrparts, for example, i think the current final boss, great dracobloxxer or whatever his name was is meant to resemble the leviathan, although he looks a lot more like a metal gear ray

Hello, to answer the question about the soundtrack, yes, Potoe did make all the soundtracks! I myself actually helped with May The Heights Collapse and SEARCH AND DESTROY, mostly on guitar and drum work so it's nice to see OST get some attention. I love the game a lot as well, truly fire.

How many times did we tell you you'd love Ultrakill?! (This message should be read as a light hearted message, not a criticism) This game is heavily inspired by Ultrakill, so if you loved it, you should definitely buy Ultrakill, you'll love it.

here is a few things to keep in mind, Melee hits heal, dashing and then jumping lets you do a long jump letting you go super far, you can pogo using various things such as the sword or rockets after a long jump letting you cross the entire map in a few seconds, verticalality becomes easy once you realize you can pogo up walls, as the game goes on the game reveals a lot more. the progression in of itself is knowledge of how to better play the game, this is why I would recommend playing in multiplayer servers to learn from others or try to discover more things for yourself. (hope this helps you understand a few of the flaws that you pointed out) Edit: levels are mostly for more skilled players who don't want to play with newer ones, and the big part of goals in the game is getting a better rank than C and grinding out your skill to you dont die even once and maintaining your score.)

Nice to see you playing this game

eclipse, i know everyone else has already commented on this but this game is massively inspired by ultrakill just with a roguelike twist. The dash system is identical, stamina and all. The style meter is inspired from ultrakill (even though it originated from devil may cry which ultrakill is inspired off of), the sword is the default punch from ultrakill with the satisfying projectile parry and all. Enemies all take inspiration from the masterful enemies of ultrakill, the basic enemies that run at you are based on husks, the giants are based on cerberus, the tanks are based on hideous mass, the flying heads are based on drones, snipers are straight up just sentry turrets and the police enemies are inspired by soldier enemy. The weapons take massive inspiration from the game, especially the concept of weapon synergy which is ultrakill's main fun gimmick. The example you said of the blackhole kunai attracting rockets sound just like how in ultrakill the nailgun can fire a magnet attack with its secondary fire which the rocket launcher can be attracted to. The bosses are also heavily inspired by ultrakill with jason being swordsmachine, the pirate guy being v2 and vagabond being gabriel respectively. If you ever play the game, please make a series on it like how you did metal gear rising or subnautica, the game is straight up awesome. Play ultrakill. Other than that also you should play brickbattler, a game on roblox inspired by ultrakill and devil may cry combined, its really good (and hard).

Potoe is the music composer for Combat Initiation, he also made all of the boss themes for Hellmet's sister game Dummies vs Noobs, as well as some songs in Hellmet itself. So I'd listen to those too since according to yourself, you're passionate about sound design.

Bosses and mini bosses (most of them) from ULTRAKILL. Thanks for showing me this game!

Edit:(then it somehow spiraled into an argument over ultrakill being boring XD KZread do be wild).

I played this with 3 of my friends, one of them did play it with me when the 3rd stage was the last one, and the other 2 are not a big fun of this kind of games, and we all STILL had a blast, using the grapling hook to melee the giant dragon robot while my friends dealt with the drones it spawns, while also parrying the missiles back at the giant beast while it disabled my hook, its a thrill you hardly get in other games at least at this level. Glad you played it. Even if it doesn't change much for me, im still glad you enjoyed it.

I found this game through a friend a day ago. Happy you also liked it! Definitely inspired by ultrakill, though. No doubt about that.

I'd say the main reason no one noticed is because of jet boots, which can carry momentum, which lets you get to a cannon on a tower in less then 5 seconds, its just kinda one of the gears you always want to take for the sheer convenience of jet boots, allowing you to fly around both horizontally and vertically immensely fast

Oh wait, I already subscribed.

There are some player accessories that guarantee a certain gear in the first 4 options after defeating Jason, they are unlocked with achievements that are directly related to what you do with the same gear you use

Wait a second. That's illegal! Another good game review!

Hey Eclipse, the combat initiation video was good myself has played and loved the game but some problems with that video in my opinion are the sword nitpick and level nitpick 1. The sword nitpick is mostly untrue sword is not only good for mobility but for bosses take Jason he has a lot of attacks that you can parry which deal a ton of damage but also restore you health and sword can be used for mobility for "Pogoing" and scaling walls. (This part is mostly opinion based) but saying the glass houses are weird map is strange the map has cover (houses, tunnles, behind the hills) I get how there isnt very much cover but there still is some and the cannons on the top of the towers can be scaled if you used (jet boots, sword, grapple hook,ect.) Other than that I agree with your video and I think its a really good video!

Hey eclipse, the part where you are talking about the tank spawning on a tower is actually really easy to deal with, so let me tell you some counters that make you life easier - 1 : If you noticed the tube, you can actually walk into it and theres an elevator, the elevator will teleport you up the tower, which makes climing up much easier (the tube is where you mentioned the pit area) [i am also not sure if this is true, but its from what i remember] - 2 : If you decide not to do that, you can dash behind the tank and shoot its weak point with a rocket launcher, which might not some viable at first since it flings you, but it deals TONS of dammage (1 shots if you didnt upgrade to bazooka) Also, For the Music, Potoe is the main Producer, And We've seen a little bit of FPLester's work, as he created the King's Theme ! (Wave 35) Potoe Has Created : The Crossroads Theme, Jason's Theme, Chaos Canyon Theme, Glass Houses Theme, Vagabond's Theme, Rocket Arena's Theme (31-35, 36-40) And The Drakobloxxer's Theme.

the sword is actually insanely versatile, it can sword pogo which carries momentum, allowing you to fly across the map at mach speeds, the parrying mechanic superboosts projectiles, allowing you to redirect them at your cursor for MASSIVE damage, and best of all the weak spot on the tanks takes like quadrupled damage from swords

Movement is were the sword comes in. You can attack the ground while in first-person. If you time it, you can basically fly around.

about the "tweakability" of the gameplay you mentioned in the difficulty section the next update will add modifiers that should change up difficulty and gameplay a bit i doubt more difficulties will be included in the update but i agree that it would add more for experienced players and give less experienced players a chance to play the game

i did it like 5 days ago lol

I was one of the earliest players who played the game at february and i'm proud that the game gets a lot of recognition of the 2.0.0 update because it is a MASSIVE update and i remember that it took 3-4 months to update the game which is 2.0.0 (excluding the april fools).

As a lvl 15 these are my 2 go to cosmetics for the noobies out their 1. Tixplosion- you can get this in sandbox and gives u a extra 50 Tix in every run which means, at wave 5 you can buy your weapons upgrade (except upgrades that cost 200 Tix) 2. Xenotargeting oculus- this easy to get that you might accidentally get it in a run. This cosmetic allows you to see the HP of any enemy. It's very helpful when trying to prioritize which enemy you can kill.

theres an x on the back of the cannon that you can attack and it deals 3x damage to the cannon, also i reccomend using mroe the sword and its variants, has those parry REALLY good

As someone who has been playing this game for over a year, I am SOOO happy you finally covered this one!!! And every single one of your criticisms coincides with my ones, so trust me, you're not alone in thinking the progression and other things fall short. Also you played at exactly THE RIGHT timing because last week a mega update dropped where your favorite stage ( rocket arena) was released. The game used to be worse back then, but it's a game in development and that's to be expected. All we can do is wait and thank the devs for like, everything. Also potoe indeed did create the ost, but someone named FPLester appeared as a cameo artist and made what is currently my favorite theme i the game, king's theme. (castle crusher)

6:49 There are several ways to counter this: Some weapons can be actually used to move around quickly, for example the sword and superball Those two allow you to do a "Pogo" Wich basically lets you stay in the air after performing a dash jump A dash jump is performed by jumping after a dash, It sends you FLYING The other way would be either using the grappler (Allows you to grapple onto enemies and yellow points on the maps) Or to use jet boots after doing a pogo/dash jump there are more ways to go into the air, but thats up to you to figure out :)

Glad this guy actually found something good in a while now :D

I felt it when Eclipse talked about the longevity of Combat Iniciation and comparing it to Hours, because those are two of my top 5 favorite experiences on Roblox.

yoo you reviewed thats crazy

Played it, instant favorite

12:05 Fun fact the game is focus more than shooting and slashing. It's focus on combo and synergizing You toss a coin from the slingshot (alt fire) and shoot/slash the coin, it will direct the nearest enemy. you toss a timebomb and shoot the rocket launcher it makes the explosion even larger. OR even just katana, 5 blasters, and 3 troopers about to shoot you? no problem just keep swinging and deflect the bullets at them. We know the game is hard (i beat drako 5 times today with bb gun and multi rockets) but that's what makes it the cooperation important, If your still struggling there's a settings with a enemy index and importantly a GUIDE.

snipers can be parried but yeah i generally agree with your issues with the third level. I didnt even consider the issue with the tower tank until you brought it up because i usually upgrade my rocket launcher to the one where it has an alt fire that fires enough rockets to one shot

as a tip with the sword, you can use sword pogos to preserve your forward momentum which means it pairs extremely well with other mobility items like jet boots or just dash jumps, since you can pretty much cross the entire map in seconds with it

The next update they're working on is adding modifiers for lobbies that can make it harder or easier. So give it a couple months and the lack of a lower/higher difficulty will be addressed.

im so glad I decided to play this game before finishing the video blindly going into that boss fight was insane

I was going to play this game like a month or two ago, but forgot about it, and now I’m going to play it.

I WAS ABOUT TO SUGGEST THIS GAME!!!

HE FINNALY PLAYED IT LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

-openned the video -"go play the game" -had a fucking blast playing it with some friends -came back to watch the rest of the video

since you really liked combat initiation i wonder if you're going to try ultrakill one day since a lot of gimmiks are taken from ultrakill, glad you liked combat initiation and i hope u have a nice day :D

i personally get bored very fast from these wave types of games, but if there was some unique interractions or anythink unique to do mid waves, it would improve the gameplay better and it might make it more fun.

btw that small tube thing near the tower in glass houses is a trampoline that can get u up to the tower without walking the stairs

Hey eclipse, quick tip for subsequent runs; if you jump right after a dash you can perform a sort of super dash that takes more stamina, but lets you travel twice as fast. On top of this, after using one of these you can go into first person and throw either a superball below you (to bounce off of it) or hit the floor with your sword to jump higher and conserve your momentum. No clue why the game never tells you this although it’s an intended feature, but oh boy, as someone who uses it all the time was it a pain to watch you move so slowly. Also play ULTRAKILL, I know that you probably won’t but it plays a LOT like combat initiation, and well… the game’s simply a masterpiece.

With the newest update, pogoing became something that is learned through the in-game guide, dunno about the superball mechanic, but it's still pretty easy to learn

Mr eclipse thank you for playing “Ultrakill” it means a lot. It was a disappointment to see you belittle my beloved sword but I understand, your play style would never see the full potential of it. Thank you for this amazing video

I'm happy he made this it showed me a very, very good game that I just got to enjoy with my friends thank you very much man.

Love how eclipse is on a trend of introducing us to peak (I'm still playing block tales, though i will wait for demo 2 to release)

What you can do in this game is honestly awesome. The movement can be amazing with certain items. With the sword you can dash and jump then slashing the ground with a sword to pretty much bunny hop across the map

about the difficulty: the next update is about modifiers, which will change your run by making it harder in some way (or perhaps easier?) with the effect of more/less points/xp

I wasn't that interested in this game at first because I don't like roguelikes. But now seeing that it's basically Ultrakill meets classic Roblox, I might give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation

Combat Initiation looked really good. I don't know if eclipse just really sold it well, but I'll definitely be jumping on with some headphones and some fellas to run this. Soon as I heard the sound tracks I knew I'd have to at least give it a try.
