World of Darkness Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood - action-RPG adaptation from Cyanide

[lycanwarrior]

So this game is crap?.

Yeah, it's mostly just an average game. Nothing too special, but playable with no game breaking bugs so far.

The low budget feel of the game is really obvious not only in terms of graphics but also character animations, level design, voice acting and so on.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood feels like a game that was greenlit right after Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was released and recently found in a time capsule from 2005. If we were talking about video cards that would be a problem, but most people that frequent this site enjoy older video games.

Call it AA or low budget if you want but I enjoyed my time with the game. It might help that I viewed it as a stealth game with mild exploration elements and a werewolf combat minigame that you engage with to recover from failing at stealth.

Gaia and the wolf spirit stuff is certainly less interesting than the intrigue in some of the other books, but I wouldn't mind seeing more AA products set in the World of Darkness.

Funny, I viewed the stealth as just a small detour to my werewolf brawler game.

Certainly hope we get another Werewolf game, although that is probably being too optimistic at this point...

The problem is that stealth is extremely simplistic. Heck, the AI is even programmed to turn its back to you.

Almost sounds like you guys are talking about Deus Ex.

I started this year going through a bunch of games. Beat Cyberpunk, a handful of point and click adventures, some puzzle games, walking Sims and shooters.

Then I played the tutorial level of this game, exited out afterwards and haven't had the urge to play a game since.

This game gave me an existential crisis.

 

[LESS T_T]

Coming to Steam on February 7th.

 

[Peachcurl]

Sounds like I might buy this cheap at some point.

(or not so cheap, in case I'm unemployed and have too much time on my hand in February )

 

[Fedora Master]

This is worth maybe 5 bux.

 

[Avarize]

It's not worth the time spent playing it.

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

This one is a literal 5/10 video game. Completely average.

It's much less than average.

 

[LESS T_T]

Even its Steam page is honest about it by showing the most boring-looking, what's-going-on-here feature screenshots there.

 

[Zombra]

Wait, this button mashing garbage isn't even released yet? I thought I saw a long gameplay video about 6 months ago. What could they possibly be doing to make this good?

Sweeney paid the development costs to make it Epic Exclusive. That one-year exclusivity ends early next year.

The only redeeming feature of this game is the use of the Werewolf setting and even then they could have done much more with it.

Why's that? Is it because of the asinine "vaccine mandates"??

 

[Peachcurl]

Nah, nothling like that. It's pretty much an intended break point, a potential gap between jobs. Or so I hope.

 

[Infinitron]

Oh, this is out on Steam:

 

[Caim]

70% positive rating so far. Won't expect it to go much higher.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Honestly 70% is more than the game deverses - a 55/60 out 100 would be a fair assessment


I am fairly certain at this point that Cyanide just did this for the cash
Through 80% of the game I could feel the lack of exciment and how "safe" the dev team was with this project

They didn't even encrypt their game files, so anyone can download this program - https://www.gildor.org/ - and straight up rip any of the game's assets

 

[J1M]

You are acting like that's a sign of amateur hour, but it only shows that you don't know what you are talking about.

Why would you encrypt your game files when that would drastically increase loading times, make streaming from disk more difficult, and lower performance?

In both Brawlers and Figthing games, the encryption of game assets (animations specially) are rather common practice
Don't be fooled by that site's compatibility table, as it has alot of games that say you can acess things (Skeletons, Textures, Animations, Static Meshes) but when you try to actually open/modify these files you are barred by encryption
