Last Oricru, co-op Souls

[cvv]

Coming 2022.

 

[whydoibother]

Local split screen multiplayer, in a third person game featuring ranged combat. This more or less guarantees getting shot at by enemies you can't see.
There's a reason we abandoned split screen, even if I too have some nostalgia over it.

Art style can't get more generic than that. Also, that dyke hair cut on the male protag. Fucking lol.

 

[Yldr]

I've been waiting forever for split screen Dark Souls. Hopefully they will commit to a real no-hassle system instead of burying it under tons of restrictions and failure conditions. The coop in the Souls games is a travesty and I'd be willing to bet this was a big motivating factor to these guys.

With adjusted FOV it works, though not great. Outward did it and it was... functional, though obviously just connecting via lan/online is better.

edit: Oricru looks obnoxiously purple and orange, my guess is it's an unreal engine game? edit -- checked, yep.

Did I understand correctly that we can't haz skill trees for exp, only the attributes in this game?

New gameplay by SexyBiscuit. If you have an Xbox Series XIS you can try it for yourself till 21.12.21

Hopefully it turns out well, Soulslikes really need impeccable animations to play well. My one and only fond memory of base game ds2 was coop Skeleton Lords so if it's good it'll be fun

Dark Souls was a mistake

My God, how I miss silenced protagonists. Why those stupid characters needs not just to look like a bitch but sound like one too?

 

[Lyric Suite]

Wait, that's the actual voice? I thought it was the author of the video fucking around lmao.

So the protagonist looks like a retard and sounds like a faggot.

Also who gives a fuck about co-op.

 

[havox]

Yeah I too enjoy the janky indie soulslikes as much as the next guy, Ashen, Immortal Unchained, The Surge, but I have to agree with the above, the protagonist is a dealbreaker for me too. Sorry.

The Last Oricru Demo Out Now

Play the first two levels of The Last Oricru. Experience the start of a branching story by your player choices, immerse yourself in challenging combat alone or in the shared split-screen coop mode.

A bit of Gothic, a bit of Dark Souls, a bit of Nox, and a really great tech-meets-fantasy vibe with gray moral choices. Look and sound promising. However, like all the codexers above as well as some users in the steam forum, I just wish they either redo all the voicelines of the protagonists or at least allow us to disable the main character's voice.

So I gave it a shot, played with it for about an hour. It's indie, it's janky but it's got a potential. Looks like a full-blooded RPG with solid itemization, stats, branching quests, robust c&c, factions and faction relations etc. The combat is janky but serviceable, as are the visuals (those need work tho, something about the engine feels off, maybe bad frame pacing).

TLDR, looked like a quirky mix of Gothic and Dark Souls, with a co-op option (didn't try).

C4G Preview

C4G Preview

1) The inventory and customisation pages look as if from a different game. But they look good / promising nonetheless.
2)
Gaming 1994-2000 - There is a voice-over!!?
Gaming 2005-2015 - Can I turn off the subtitles thingy?
--- turquoise-grey neverwhere ---
Gaming 2022 - I like the game, but please let me turn off the voice-overs.
3) Good games often had some poorly made features that strangely worked out as parts of the whole good charm. I am all-in for this one.
4) The combat looks like Piranhas made their 15th game and finally got it right (sadly, Elex 2 would be only like the 10th in that line or so :D )
5) Weapons alternating their heavy attack to a new effect, kudos!

I believe they've just added the Discord server to their communication channels. Haven't found any yesterday.

I've talked with the devs, apparently the main character's "strange" voicing is intentional. It is meant to evolve actually. Neat.

If this danger-hair protagonist with annoying voice end up growing on me while I'm playing the full version, that'd be quite an accomplishment from the devs, let's wait and see...

Single player or Online Coop? Did they cut out local Coop? In that case fuck em, that was the only reason I was following this crap. As another local coop RPGish game after Outward.
