      It's called "game journalist" difficulty level, it's below baby difficulty, which is far below very easy, because none of them can play games...

    The so called "stamina" bar in this game is actually quite different,
    It's called "殺氣(sha chi)" which is literally a combination of two words "殺(kill, murder)" and "氣(aura, momentum)", it's often used in Chinese wuxia novels or movies where masters of martial arts can sense from afar to alert themselves from unseen hostility, or predict the power level of their opponent when facing a dual.
    So, maybe the more accurate translation here should be like a "killer momentum".
    Therefore, it does not act quite like souls games stamina bars where you consume to preform actions and slowly recover over time,
    but in this game, you can fully and instantly recover your "sha chi" by a right timed parry, or by switching main weapons (which has a cooldown for balance reasons), while consuming the "sha chi" by passive actions like standard block moves.

    The dual parry animation triggers when you execute an enemy and another one tries to attack you from the back. It is rather rare because it requires very specific positioning and this demo frankly didn't include too much segments where you can fight multiple enemies at the same time. I watched some vids from the content creators who went to Beijing for an early demo and only one of them was able to trigger it. I wonder if anyone will be able to capture some live footage today or tomorrow.

    The kick-and-kill animation is indeed do-able (a Bilibili content creator 贞子菇凉 did it twice, witnessed by many other content creators, in a previous private session held in China), and it seems like that it needs the “minions” to be in some specific positions relative to the player when the execution animation starts.

      On a side note, from what I've heard, the playing combat animations should be interruptable by dashes and defense.

    About some movements in the trailer, it's actually kind of execuation animation which depends on the positions of the enemies. When in different positions it will trigger different animations. So yeah, it's kind of rare for some of them.

    As much of a “FromSoftie” I am and play lots of souls likes-I’m glad they’re wanting to take a different direction it’s good to find new trends and advancements in the industry-it just leads to more good games out there! I can see some might want to still compare it to the Soulslikes and Sekiro but I often wonder if it’s because FromSoft just came forward with their formula first and yeah ofc they set the bar high or else we wouldn’t have mega Miyazaki fans out there…like me! 😅.

      @1_underthesun Před 2 měsíci +1

      Like ship stamina in Skull and Bones. What's with giving inanimate objects stamina lately?
      But who knows, maybe they'll do it slick where it's not the weapon that has stamina, but different weapons use different muscles, so it's the actual characters stamina. Like when I go to the gym and do 5 sets of bench presses, the stamina level of my chest muscles is almost at 0, but that doesn't mean I can't squat as much as I normally do.
      Logically, that would make more sense, but then they'd have to get creative with the weapons so they weren't all arm wielded weapons.

      @@aswaswasw2323 Unfortunately after seeing gameplay for myself it seems it plays like DMC in the loosest sense. Camera and lock on works like Souls not DMC so fighting multiple enemies at once might be discouraged or a janky nightmare (looking at you Stellar Blade). There's no launcher or aircombos which is DMC's whole thing. DMC's combat is also very technical with pause windows and motion inputs to do specific moves which there was no sign of during the Phantom Blade demo. Of course it was a tutorial demo so maybe it gets crazy later on but so far I'm not seeing the inspiration the devs on stage talked about. I guess the DMC inspiration just means the combat isn't slow and it has combos lol. Game still looks awesome but from what they showed so far I wouldn't use DMC when describing it.

    Now on the positive, I see people in the comment sections saying they are glad it`s a hack & slash or that they like hack & slash games so since that's the case.
    Here are some H&S games you can check out:
    Yasuke A Lost Descendent

    Granblue Fantasy Relink
    Shred & Tear: Explosive Kajun
