I am liking it so much because games where you are simply a big monster that evolves and breaks smaller stuff is so rare for some reason! I will be looking for this one!

I can see the potential in this game! Could the evolutions of the monsters can vary depending of the "build" you make trough the run? Like an Ice, poison or fire variation?
@mac_cheese_games
Ай бұрын
Hey thanks for saying so! So your monster evolves differently depending on what you eat - ore, flesh or nekro. You'll evolve down different evolution paths. Then we also are testing out limb upgrades, so you can have small variations on your main evolution too, which give you a bonus like bleeding, stun effect, poison etc

According to the Steam screenshots, it'll be a branching evolution web. The second form is divided into three main affinities (Flesh, Nekro, and Ore). The third form is further divided into three hybrid affinities each (meaning Flesh/Nekro and Nekro/Flesh are two separate forms). The trailer just seems to display the Flesh second form and the Flesh/Flesh third form.
@mac_cheese_games
Ай бұрын
yep this is right, we plan on having 12 different monsters you can transform into from the starting monster, at least for the base game. Each is split as @ykim9820 says, 3 main branches with hybrids. We only have 1 pure branch in the trailer b/c that's all that was in the demo at the time. We're adding a hybrid form (Nekro/Flesh) in the next update in a couple of weeks :) Each branch is roughly based on a different sub-genre of heavy metal, with it's own related music etc.

The one's in the video are all part of the 'thrash metal' evolution so you get a lot of smashing, but we're still reworking some of the abilities to at least give them more utility

Good idea but needs a lot of improvement, the meat chunk eating should either function as a quick attack also or be removed amd allow you to eat by simply walking over a chunk, also heing interrupted by every single damage source makes charged attacks feel terrible

I'm sure whoever downloads this game will enjoy it! Not saying it's a good game, but whoever is dumb enough to download this will definitely enjoy it.
The aesthetic looks really cool, but the movement and eating of people doesn’t look as fun as Carrion.
The animations of the punches are too slow, increase the pace of the game. These freeze frames at the end of the strike are not needed here, this is not a fighting game where it is done to understand at least a little the high tempo of the game. Freeze frame can be used in very difficult moments to improve the quality of gameplay, for example after parry, so that the player quickly understand what to do next, but not after every regular strike, it just terribly bored players.
