Good beat'm up (xbox 360-era feel)

God Of War (2007-2010) gameplay with a pirate make over: walk from checkpoint to checkpoint and fight bad guys till a door opens for the next area. The environment and characters look good and the gameplay works, no complaints. But the fighting feels so basic. I've already experienced it in God Of War on PS2. I think this is a good action AA-studio game, so it's not fair to compare it to -for example- Ubisoft games. Personally this game is not for me, because fighting the same bad guys is repetitive for me.

A bit too late but good !

This is quite an oldschool beat'em up with pirate theme which is a bit late to the party. This game is definitely are from 10 - 15 years ago, and back then it would be a hit. Demo let you try preobably all gameplay mechanics including even a qte (appear in the boss fight , and it is ok, but the timing is too short i would recommend the developers extend qte time during boss battles) Visual style is pretty cartoonish but cool. Gameplay is fun and pretty polished (some fights could give you a challenge) I didnt really saw any bugs or problems. I enjoy it cause i really wanted to play some non serious fun game with pirate theme , and i got exactly as i was promised in the trailer. If you looking for some old school beat'em up with pirate theme, this could be just for you ! This is definitely a game not for "modern audience" - one star of my rating just for this ! Will i buy it on release, yes i will ! Do i recommend it for everyone, no, for people who want some fun time with pirate theme, yes !

I can't believe it's back!

I remember watching the trailer in early-2000s and noting it down in a spreadsheet where i was listing all games i want to play. Years after i lost hope and wrote it off, i accidentally came upon this demo, so of course, i played it! It's what you'd expect. It looks and plays like a 20 year old game. In the demo you can play as 2 different characters, a strong one and a fast one. The controls feel outdated. You can't turn the camera, you can't jump or dash, but there's fast/slow attacks, bombs, rage mode, you can pick up weapons from the ground and it looks like you can unlock new executions and combos, so the combat is pretty fun and satisfying It needs more polishing because the voice overs and audio in the cutscenes feel off, the subtitles are also completely out of sync and it ruins the immersion. I don't expect to be blown away by it, but i'm glad it's back and it looks like some old school fun can be had!

I really needed that.

I remember games like this were AAA just a few years ago. They don't make games like this anymore. Except they obviously do! It's not great, it's good. Competently good, crafted with care. There are some issues though. You can play with mouse and keyboard. But if you happen to have more than one monitor, you at some point will accidentally exit the game because you clicked outside of the borderless full screen game. The demo crashed once on me, but that's probably because I should really restart my machine. The game runs great, I would like to see a few more settings, but that is me complaining on a very high level. And it is a demo! I remember demos! Those used to be on plastic discs in those game magazines. Back when games were covered on dead trees. Wild days. My point being, this takes me back! It does not have to be great, not all games have to. It just has to scratch this very particular itch which has not been scratched for quite some time. And boy does it scratch! But why are you reading this? Go and play it yourself, it's a demo!

Awful camera, clunky movement, bad AI. What more could you want!
