    I don't even know what Souls-like even means until now. A Remnant from the Ashes is the first RPG, Souls-like game that I played and the first Souls-like game with guns. When I first started the game I started off with a sword and as I progressed I got my first two guns when I picked a class.

A Remnant from the Ashes is the first RPG, Souls-like game that I played and the first Souls-like game with guns. When I first started the game I started off with a sword and as I progressed I got my first two guns when I picked a class.

    And as I progressed in the game the more that I leveled up my character and unlocked more levels to go the more difficult the game increased as usual. The game has an infinite backpack capacity to help players choose their own combat style, armor, and resources to fit. The game loot system is not very similar to games like Skyrim or Dragon's Dogma but it is still good. The shooting in the game is actually good even though it can't free aim at the other enemies and so is melee combat even if there is no target lock. And adding in-game gun mods that are added with fantasy magic is something that I have never seen before including guns that are filled with fantasy magic. Enemies were almost very fun to kill although I get killed instantly because of lacking upgrades and not enough items for healing. And Simulacrum is absolutely very rare to get when not upgrading my items and Dragonheart wisely.

    This game also encourages me to play it with friends meaning if that boss or level is difficult I need players in order to beat a level. The only criticism is that this does not have a chat option for players who don't have a speaker which makes it frustrating that it is more of a speed run rather than a campaign because I missed on secret item or spot so side mission to activate.

    I really like the campaign story in this game. It's not actually too perfect but it's actually pretty good. Although the story felt a little bit confusing, it's good but a little confusing. Sometimes I just always wonder what my character's place looked like before he sailed off or why he used the starter sword called "The Blade of Adventure" I think of my theory that is a family heirloom.

    In conclusion, I say that this Souls-like game with guns is something to look up to. And I hope that this game will have its own sequel to expand more of this story.    … Expand

    Decided to play it because Remnant 2 looked rad, and I really liked it. It is a soulslike/looter shooter that, while no being the best of either genre, still really compelling. I do recommend it!

The overall gameplay loop of kill enemies, upgrade weapons, try over and over again to kill the boss until you prevail, or go away and get enough materials to upgrade weapons and become stronger so you have an edge, is very satisfying. I can see why people would find this game to be a 5 or a 6 out of 10, but I think if you're the type of person who rates a game like this 0/10, you're just review bombing because you are either not good at the game or irrationally mad that this game requires exploration and practice to become good at. Very few games are genuinely a 0/10, and this game is definitely not one of them. Very excited for the sequel.… Expand

    Amazing game, superior replay value! Combat feels soul like but progression really is more of a roguelike style game, where you can do many runs in a single session and still find new fun ways to play it, multiplayer is great and the weapons are really cool and unique.

Графика глаза не режет, хоть и уэ4. Проект малобюджетный, что видно с первого часа игры, но при этом он умудряется:
    1. Иметь несколько десятков вариантов основных и вспомогательных стволов, комбинации которых могут поменять стиль игры от аккуратно-снайпового, так и до рашевого-дробовикового;
    2. Иметь несколько десятков модификаторов и сетов брони, что позволяет комбинировать/дополнять стили игры или менять их в корне;
    3. Иметь вариации по убийству многих боссов с различными исходами/наградами;
    4. Иметь процедурную генерацию, что делает её по сути rogue-like;
    5. Иметь очень бодрый кооп и неплохой сетевой код, в отличие от её именитого примера;
    6. Напрягать многими игровыми ситуациями и некоторыми боссами не хуже дс, при этом есть боссы которых проще убить в пати, а есть те, которых убийство в пати превращает в боль;
    7. Иметь хардкор-режим, что позволяет любителям острых ощущений пушить её до посинения;
    8. Обладать кучей разных мелких механик, которой не обладал тот же дс (как вам, например, возможность в любой момент отменить эстус перекатом? Шо, Миядзаки, пока ты в 21 веке, малобюджетка в 31?).

    Но при этом не стоит забывать, что низкий бюджет не дал ей того разнообразия локаций, врагов, лута и лора, который бы мог поднять эту игру на качественно более высокий уровень, но даже при этом то, что в ней есть, позволяет подобрать комплект и стиль под нужды каждого любителя шутанов (правда насчет стелса не уверен, хотя даже есть перк на бэкстабы).

    Solo, this game is forgettable and distinctly average. With a friend however, the game truly shines and becomes an experience worth having. The laughs and frustrations you will share with a buddy make this worth the price of admission alone, but the exploration and teamwork are what elevate this from being average to great.

    The graphics and performance leave quite a lot to be desired, especially the performance, but this is somewhat understandable given the budget and relatively inexperienced dev team. On the positive side, the fact that this team with its budget managed to create such a coherent 3RD person co-op shooter is quite impressive.

    Procedural generation is more or less a none factor for me, neither here nor there. I just don't care about it. Most of the time i prefer hand crafted maps and enemy spawns because it usually leads to a more balanced and coherent experience. This game, with its partial procedural generation, somehow manages to avoid (for the most part anyway) these annoyances. Not entirely though. Balancing and difficulty spikes are definitely prevalent in the game and you WILL experience them in your play through.

    These problems are alleviated and much more lenient when playing with a friend. In fact, like i said above, the whole game just gets exponentially better when played with a buddy and i wholly recommend that you play the game like this, otherwise, you will likely find yourself saying "meh" a whole lot.

    Conclusion: Grab a friend, a few beers, crank up the difficulty, and let the good times flow.    … Expand

There were two big problems for me. Gear and weapons are extremely limited. I ended up playing through with the default weapons and armor because what (rarely) came along was pretty boring IMO. The bigger problem is the procedural generation. It does nothing but severely limit good level design. There wasn't a single time here where I was wowed by what I was exploring. Quite the opposite, I frequently found myself realizing I've already seen these exact dungeon sections. But what about replayability? Lack of procedurally generated levels certainly hasn't diminished Dark Souls' replayability.

    The levels are badly designed and uninspired, they don’t spark curiosity or desire to explore them – but you still have to, because new weapons and armor aren’t dropped by the enemies, they must be found in obscure spots scattered across the maps. [Issue#241, p.44]

    The combat is solid glue holding together a solid product, offering some fun cooperative shooting and a good amount of interesting items and weapons to build. Gunfire Games has already supported the game with two new modes and hopefully post-launch support will continue. While those who need a constant influx of new loot to parse through may find this game a bit on the slow side, those who are more familiar with games like Dark Souls may feel more at home here. The experience isn’t a perfect one, but there’s plenty to love in Remnant and excitement to be had in its future.
