The Surge 2

The Surge 2

The Surge 2 is nearly a universal improvement from the first game. It’s still far from perfect, but it’s clear the game was created with massive amounts of fan feedback. Deck 13 has shown they are determined not to just make a Souls clone, as this game innovates even further and brings the combat complexity and combo potential far above any Souls-like, including Nioh.

Gameplay:

This is the main selling point of The Surge 2. The gameplay is so full of nuance and complexity, while still being even more approachable than any other Souls. All your attacks can be cancelled into dodges or parries, allowing you to deal with large packs of enemies without needing to worry about getting caught in slow move, watching your character slowly swing into their certain death. Your basic 2 or 3 hit R1/R2 combo is replaced with at least 4 hits per attack, but mixing the two creates alternate unique combos with new moves (R1 R2 R2 for example.) With the new cancelling system, you can really go crazy with huge combos, then instantly switch to defense when you see an incoming blow. It’s a fantastic design shift that lets you always keep up the pressure.

Despite the fact that it took me exactly two month waiting for dev to fix some issues so I can finally play the game smoothly, The Surge 2 successfully brought back my joy to the first game with improved system, upgraded arsenal, and story sequence to the ending of first game.

Things I like about The Surge 2:

1. Improved Energy System

The Surge 2 turns the energy system into vital combat element. In the first game, the usage of energy is limited to drone attacks and excecutions. Besides finishing weakened enemies, the energy is useless in combat. The Surge 2 recognizes this problem and reworks the system to something revolutionary. Instead of drones, energy system now ties with your healing injectables. This decision is bold and greatly enhances the battle intensity. If you want to heal, you need to be aggressive, frequently attack your enemies to gain energy in order to produce healing injectables. Turtling is ill-adviced and can often expose yourself in situations you wish you had full health to deal with.

The Surge

The Surge

This is an interesting one … a rollercoaster of emotions so far. When I started out I was amazed. I was aware I wouldn’t really like the environment much because the tech-production-warehouse setting has been dead to me since Doom (the original one, mind you ;-) Knowing that I came for the combat (and hopefully, the story). So I was surprised to see what effort went into building the levels. I still find the setting boring, but it has been created by a very competent team.

Difficulty level was fine for the first area. Entering the second area it started ramping up until I hit a brick wall somewhere in the middle of it. Coming up from a shortcut into an area covered in toxic waste with two leaping, sting-tailed robodogs and a guard was something I think I couldn’t handle, because I was dead so quickly without time to learn anything about the enemy. The other option was to slog through the initial path, wasting minutes and minutes to end up like 30 meters from that other point, but in a much better place (from a tactical point of view). Only to be killed 10 seconds later.

This game is goddamned excellent. Bosses are thrilling, but there are only five of them. Combat is tense and exciting throughout. Grinding, leveling and building are ingenious. And the story hit me with two themes surprisingly effectively.

The Bosses

There are only 5 bosses in this game. However, this game makes the absolute most of those 5 encounters. The first boss is your warm-up. It’s your introduction to the game. It punishes you if you’re bad, though. So, as a beginner, it feels good when you defeat it.

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes

Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam.

|

Is it a masterpiece? Yes, if you enjoy isometric pixel art and challenging combat. Fans of soulslike action RPGs get new food.

The backstory of the game is dark and depressing. At the beginning, our main character wakes up on a beach, full of horribly mutated fish and half-rotten corpses. It looks as if we were on board a ship that smashed on the cliffs and the surf washed us up. Luckily there is a sword next to the dead body next to us. We are a warrior, the last survivor of the Order of the Strivers of Dibrom. Our task, for which we have trained all our lives, is to defeat the Seven Acolytes, cursed and powerful beings possessed by evil deities called Gahars. We must kill the acolytes and thus save the kingdom. If we fail, the evil gods will continue to rule and madness will devour the entire world. More information will not be revealed at first. If you want to know more, you have to examine the items you find and talk to the few (more or less) sane people you meet on the adventure. The graphics also provide clues as to what has happened in this desolate world.

Mixed Feeling. Decent, Could Be Better.

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a isometric action game. As the only survivor of Strivers of Dibrom, players need to navigate through the accursed kingdom and battle against the seven Acolytes of Gahars, further freeing this land from the terrifying clutch of this eldritch deity. I have a mixed feeling for this game. On one hand, I really like the artstyle and the designs of each mob. The eerie, creeping, bodily-horror always seizes my eyes, and the sense of dread emanating from mere pixel sprites invariably tantalizes my taste for this kind of pixel art. Yet, on the other hand, the level design is quite weak, falling short of depth and the incentive to explore. The combat is sabotaged by enemies' easily-exploited movesets, inaccurate hit boxes, and some questionable design choices. Still, Morbid: The Seven Acolytes manages to deliver an decent, albeit flawed, experience for lovecraftian horror action game.
