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.
I like it so much, plot, music, quests, main character and views. Maps and objects to find is demanding but get used to it. Most done :) You have to go everywhere!
Too many machines to kill and check-points make us to do it again - good thing you can run thru them.
Great game, plays nice and you will not be disappointed if you like Souls type games. Graphics are good as are the sound and controls. Played this previously on another platform so the low platime here.
It's actually surprisingly good. I put it off because I thought it'd be janky as hell, but now that I've been playing it, I've been pleasantly surprised.
The mixing of french in the dialogs is neat and weirdly smooth which I've not seen before. All other similar cases have been "I'm French-desu" style, but not this, this is doing it Well.
The story is interesting and doesn't feel like it witholds crucial info too long.
All the enemies being robots (automats as they're called in-game) is kinda meh, but there's nice variety to them.
There's some non-critical bugs with dialogs (camera not following speaker), some side-quests seem to not progress fully (hollow cannonball one for me just ended abruptly before conclusion). But no issues with the main quest. The citizen stories side-side quests are pretty much impossible to complete without a guide tho (thus I haven't bothered).
Countering is hard, I don't know if the timing is just super tight, or if it's bugged. I'm not good with that kind of gameplay in most games, so I'm poor judge of it.
Overall, I have liked it so far and I believe I am nearing finishing with the game.
(gog really wanted me to write this with the constant pestering for it)
Why do people put themselves through this genre?
I can't see how a game can be fun when all you are doing is dodging big bosses over and over a million times, dieing repeatedly, while trying to get pot shots in, all the while having to repeat the same enemies a hundred times over when you inevitably die to some bs hit you quite clearly dodged.
The setting seems like a great idea, shame its ruined by this "souls-like" gameplay. I can't even remember what im supposed to do with all the death interruptions. It's not fun at all, it's a sadism simulator.
*heavily* inspired by enemies and maps found in dark souls 3, but in a different and engaging layout! combat feels clunky and slow due to the lack of any ability to attack cancel, but if you're a fan of DS1 combat style without the severe difficulty, this is it. one complaint, as with all games set in france: why do they speak english with a british accent?
