Dont get too excited - this is a really hard game to master, and in its early stages it is frustrating as hell. Kyle Mac actually makes it look a lot easier than it is.

Man the fights in this game are better looking than any other game. I love how it smashes. There really needs to be a cinematic camera with replays

The animations, movements, combat is so fluid...and the art style..... chefs kiss!

Gosh i love the cinematic play! Thanks for the tips tho, being hard time for me to fight Ogres after recent update.

Great video! I agree with pretty much all of your points, except for not taking your manager in, what's the fun without a little bit of risk!

I wonder if the lore will ever explain the arena.The fact that these creatures are made to fight to the death against novices indicates that there are so many in captivity that they are disposable, or alternatively they are sentient beings with rights who just entered the arena as a combatant. Either way, awesome

12:10 Cyra: even in death I still serve!

Go for the voulge against the Adept beast. A sharp one can still do huge slash damage through its leather armour, and it has far more reach than the battleaxe - easy overhead headshots.

As far as I can see, with greatsword you have also switched from swings to thrusts. Perhaps that made a lot of difference. I guess any good polearm with a good pointy end will do as well.

Nice video. Would you say the strategy remains the same for the Expert Ogre with the sword?

@KyleMac-um1ve

I can test that in a future video. I find the Expert Ogre easily beatable using polearms, but I can try to compare Greatsword vs Polearm. The Greatsword will work for sure, but not sure it is better than a polearm in terms of damage etc

This game is still going? I remember playing the shit out of it way back in the day when it first came out and supposedly exanima was supposed to be just an intro to a much bigger rpg.

Yes in 0.9 they introduced force powers. 0.8 or smth they released thaumaturgy which allowed you to mind control an enemy eventually. Still releasing weekly coffee diaries on their website, still developing. Still a great game with great improvement. Crazy they’ve stayed productive even after all this time. From player perspective it’s slow development bc it’s the second job for the devs. But appreciate it very much.

I like the mouse movement to accelerate the weapon. If the movement would be more conventional and fluid, less sticky, especially the war mode movement... I would love to play it. I dropped it several times unfortunately.

No, it has an Arena Mode and a Story version, both are single player. The developers (Bare Mettle) may still add co-op/multiplayers, but I would expect multiplayer as a seperate game. Bare Mettle built there own engine to make Exanima, so they have an engine to make new games like Exanima. Nobody wants a multiplayer Exanima that isn't smooth. To be smooth, it might have to be substantually overhauled.

Bro you aren't supposed to hit the master ogre with overhead strikes... his head is clearly very well armored and he takes little to no damage. You should be stabbing him instead, that's the only way of dealing heavy damage to him ( when blood comes out from the hit )

@KyleMac-um1ve

7 ай бұрын

At 11:20 I get a bloody headcrit with a poleaxe. Impact and crush weapons are designed to fight plate armour. The head is still a vital area, and you can see in my older Master Ogre videos (before 0.9) that I consistently used polearms and headshots to beat him. The reason the Greatsword works is that the Ogre is now more elusive, and the Master Ogres weapon is hard to range. Stabbing has the longest range.

What game is this?

qwop char is really hard to move. Exanima feels the opposite when you get used to it. Feel more in control that in your average ARPG experience with canned anims.

It's not a tactic, it's just lucky tries XD

For the game claiming physics theres totally no momentum in strikes. And overall character's movement looks more of a puppet.

@@brandonparris6148 Lol your phone would explode trying to compute the physics in this game. The reason they walk so goofy is because it's not just an animation that plays while you float in whatever direction. Everything is physics based, your legs have rigidity and your character is actually walking on them.

8 years ago I thought this was interesting

This game would be perfect if you could pick races and fight each other. For example one ogre vs 3 humans(ogre is a player also),or 3 goblins(3 players)vs 3 other race(players aswell) and progress in the arenas towards better players and buy better gear with each fight.Then have differenent type of fights like Arenas,one vs all,conquest,Sieges etc..SOOOOO MUCH POTENTION....
