![]() ![]() I do wish however that there were more reasons to explore it and I would be equally excited to see some more great sequences like the opening cinematic in its storytelling as the lore that’s established is quite intriguing as a boss rush souls like eldest souls largest draws in its combat and here. ![]() The remainder of the story is told through discovered cryptic codex entries in the occasional mad NPC that you stumble upon it’s a style of storytelling that can be intriguing but the issue in eldest souls is that there’s no real reason to go exploring besides looking for tidbits about the lore this is very much a boss rush style game.Įldest Souls Review: So you won’t be fighting anything outside of the boss rooms and there aren’t many non-story items or upgrades for you to find the world is really well-designed and haunting in many ways from the eerie soundtrack to the creepy locations equipped with frozen cadavers and writhing tentacles. The world eldest souls opening cinematic is a fantastic detailing of the events leading up to the start of the game but I really would have loved to see more of that stylish storytelling throughout the rest of the main campaign in true souls like fashion you play as a lone warrior whose mankind only hope against the spreading corruption caused by a vicious war between humans and gods armed with a great sword of pure obsidian you show up to dispatch the remaining old gods. Today we are going to look at Eldest Souls, Eldest Souls is a dark fantasy action RPG game. Quite tedious.Welcome to a Gaming Review this is often more of an informational Post with reference to all or any more details of Eldest Souls and what we all know so far. If you are in the arena just before a fight starts you have to give up, get teleported to a waypoint, change your skills, and then trek back to the fight. That annoyance rears its head again when you want to re-spec your character before a fight. There were moments where I turned the console off due to being frustrated with a certain fight and needing a break. Eldest Souls can swing wildly from a test of skill to frustrating and stress-inducing depending on the boss. With some augments this can almost make you feel invincible against one or two foes, but with others the amount of damage they do negates the health recovery aspect. ![]() The player can recover health through using Bloodlust attacks which do take time to charge up. What I also found is that the dash to dodge could be unresponsive or slow at times, meaning damage was taken even when a dodge appeared to be timed correctly. Patterns are easy to work out but there is still randomness involved which means that you could be doing well in a fight but something will catch you off guard. However, Eldest Souls seems to unevenly tilt towards players needing quite a lot of luck in some fights. The intent is to make you figure out each one’s attack pattern so you can get past them. It hinges on the fact that you will die a lot while coming up against each boss. If you die while facing off against a boss in its second phase you will have to restart the whole fight over.Įldest Souls is a game that will not have mass appeal. New attacks are introduced and the bosses move faster. Do enough damage and the boss will transform for phase two, becoming more deadly. Each boss in Eldest Souls is pretty unique when they come to attacks, but there are similarities in how fights unfold.
