Post severely underrated/obscure games you love and why. >Salt

Is this a free flash game?

>>382536715
I know you're baiting but no. Play it, it's great. Metroidvanias and Souls had a lovechild.

>>382536796
>if I don't like something it's bait
I don't give a shit about either.

>>382536901
Well, cause you're wrong, it's not a free flash game. But it's a common insult by those who don't want to play it, that's why I assumed it was bait.

Post a game you love then.

Several years ago, it probably would've been one. It certainly feels like one to me. Everything is a 1:1 copy of Dark Souls. The magic mechanics are probably the only thing in the game that I thought was creative, and those are indeed pretty good, but everything else felt too derivative. I thought the game was just too easy with 2D instead of 3D. Also didn't like the art style because, like you said, it looks incredibly reminiscent of those flash games. The animations feel that way too.

Yes, Hollow Knight. You know, the game that is actually dope.

Ugly Invader Zim faces with shitty body silhouettes, the art style is the worst part of the game.

Spellforce: The Order of Dawn

>RPG/RTS Hybrid
>6 races to play as, you play as all of them throughout the campaign at some point
>some really innovative ideas that I would've liked to see more in games, like the click&fight system
>Very long playtime without feeling padded, easily 70-80 hours for the campaign, with around 20-25 hours for each of the two addons
>great music, if you're into that

Too bad Spellforce 2 doesn't really have the same charm in my opinion. Spellforce 3 is going to be released later this year by different devs, and it looks absolutely boring in my opinion. They tuned it down to 3 races instead of 6, and guess which ones they left in.
Yeah, humans, elves and orcs. The three most boring and unoriginal ones. Well fucking done, assholes. Everything about Spellforce 3 screams "standard fantasy" and I am afraid that when it drops, newcomers to the series are not going to be interested in Spellforce 1 anymore after seeing how uninspired Spellforce 3 might turn out.

Spellforce 1 is fun as hell though.

>>382537052
artstyle I'll give you, it seems there's no other opinion other than love it or hate it. I don't think being derivative is that bad though considering the devs did a great job though. Lighting, atmosphere, boss mechanics and all that. It even has the whole DaS2 E3 lighting" gimmick built in, which I thought was well done. I don't understand when people say "derivative is bad" or "It's the same game as X just with a different coat of paint" for example, cause disregarding the fact it's the same dev, they do the same game with another coat of paint. All Souls games are pretty similar, all castlevanias, marios, metroids, zeldas, CoDs, racing games, jRPGs and so on and so forth.

As long as the game is good and well-made, why not? You like a game so you want more of it with a few changes so it feels new enough.

The artsyle is wank, mate

>>382536668
It was alright but they just transposed dark souls' gameplay into 2d and the lore is quite weak, I would have liked a bit more effort into storytelling.

It's not a better Souls game than the Souls game, this statement is retarded.

>>382537775
I only said so cause I enjoyed it more. That said, the 2D metroidvania formula is one of my favourite game styles in general, so I really got into it. I do CV marathons almost yearly.

It tries its absolute hardest to be a Souls knockoff but really doesn't play much like it beyond superficial shit.
It plays like a fairly standard metroidvania with somewhat above average combat.

Dont mind me, Just shilling for the best mix of FEAR and Soldier of Fortune we will ever see in our lives

>Dope artstyle
I've not looked into it beyond that, becasue it's downright hideous.

>>382538168
That looks nice but what I find online says it's unfinished. Am I not looking at the right information ?

>>382538168
Looks like it a CS mod, nothing like FEAR at all. What made you say that?

>>382536668
Those are called opinions anon and you're pretty shitty at making that apparent.

This one admittedly actually looks like it's drawing inspiration from Souls, unlike 99% of the time where Soulsfags pretend their game influenced another.

Indie games tend to wear their inspirations on their sleeves.

I don't care if the head writer is a pretentious piece of shit or if it's been done before. I love it to death, the music is fantastic, the combat works even if it's uninspired and the storytelling was excellent. So many easter eggs, levels are well designed and incredibly rich in detail and it was a great experience.

Fuck the haters, i love it. Also legit one of the hardest, most frustrating, nail-biting hard modes I have ever played. FUBAR made me foam at the mouth, walk away from the game and spent an entire week dreading the idea of tackling the next level. By the end, I felt connected to Walker cause I would've fucking murdered someone with my bare hands too.
