The city burns and bleeds as it suffers the madness of King Louis XVI and his violent legions of automatons. Aegis, a mechanical masterpiece created by the engineer Vaucanson to be the queen's bodyguard, must save the French Revolution in this challenging action-RPG.
CHALLENGING COMBAT BETWEEN AUTOMATONS
Up against the king's mechanical soldiers, deadly accuracy will be needed. String together dodges, parries, jumps and devastating attacks to fight your way through Paris. Every fight will test your nerve and requires excellent discipline, while the huge relentless machine bosses demand patience and skill.
AEGIS: A CHARACTER WITH EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS
Define your own style and upgrade your abilities as you progress through the game. You can play as a ruthless warrior, a hard-hitting bodyguard, a deadly dancer or a virtuoso of the elemental arts. Take advantage of a wide variety of weapons and skills to approach each fight in your own unique way.
REVOLUTIONARY PARIS IS YOUR PLAYGROUND
Using carriages, grapples, secret passages, a detailed map, and other methods and tools you find along the way, explore a city experiencing its darkest days. Your grappling hook adds a new dimension to exploration and Paris's verticality. Combined with your dash ability, it will provide access to all the city's secrets across multiple levels you can explore over and over again.
CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY
You are one of the main characters of an alternative history where Paris is being choked by a tyrant king. Allies and enemies with unclear motives will cross your path, such as Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette and Robespierre. It's up to you to cut a path through all the plotting and put an end to one man's madness so that the French Revolution succeeds.
+ interesting setting
+ in theory cool combat
- graphic settings are crazy, e.g. trees look really ugly even with a rtx 4060 many assets look worse than games made in 2010
- GLITCHES in combat....you thought you dodged an attack? Your character even visibly dodged the enemies weapon? Too bad my friend, a split second later your character gets "ported" into the enemies weapon an it counts as a hit. Such fun.
- Enemy attacks are telegraphed in a bad way, you almost never know if your enemy will do attack a or attack b, since it looks almost the same and most likely will hit you anyway, since your char will be magically ported into the enemies weapon anyway
I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a RX 6600 XT and couldn't make it run at more than 25 FPS, especially after reaching Les invalides, I tried every possible graphical setting either from the game or from the GPU settings and couldn't get any higher FPS, I liked the game itself is actually great and fun and I got as far as defeating the Alchemist Of Luxembourg but the low FPS just makes it unplayable sometimes and I gave up on it, maybe if at some point in the future, it is better optimized I'll play it again but as for now I really can't and can't recommend it either.
Okay, yes, it's very much a Souls sort of game (if not actually Soulsborne), but the aesthetic is gorgeous, gameplay is reasonably intuitive, and I love the slightly off-kilter but still weirdly plausible approach to revolutionary French history.
I was totally fascinated by the automata-/puppet-theme of this game, the main reason I gave it a try although I'm not too much into action RPGs. But a few minutes into the game I realized that I know the game's gameplay from somewhere: collecting anima, finding savepoints, upgrading equipment and stats there, refilling health packages - and experiencing the same enemies again that I slaughtered a minute ago. But I managed not to die until the first boss which was - of course - unbeatable. Not because I was not careful, but because it was overpowered, and I was slow like a knight in armor, while he whirled his weapon with incredible high range around. Sorry, but being unfair is not the kind of 'hard game' I prefer.
