What do you think?

I so desperately want to love this game. The atmosphere of the hub world is sublime, especially when paired with that lovely artstyle. But the gameplay itself is good, but feels incomplete. I can't jump and attack at the same time. I feel like attacking isn't me going for a stab, but committing to a long action that must complete itself (The decision to freeze the player while they attack may contribute to this).

The bosses seem to have been independently invented without regards to the player's move set. The observer stands around, teleporting sometimes and making explosions happen around the player for no real reason or indication of what hurts him and when. My arrows pass through The Wandering blade.

The only battle I thoroughly enjoyed was The Fallen Heroes, which feels like a defiant last stand against waves of enemies. Although this would've been much better if I could dodge, attack, arrow and dodge without fear of being stuck in an animation too long to react, or not registering the dodge as I smash shift while I load up an arrow.

You are clearly very talented, especially in art, music, and especially atmosphere. Many of the issues I faced playing this seem to be due to a lack of outside play-testing. Don't be afraid to see how people react to your work, don't hide in fear of compromising your vision. But don't let other's opions create a vision either.

I saw that this is your first project, and is very impressive as one. I will follow your account in hopes of seeing what you come up with next. I hope this was helpful, and thank you for letting me experience the wonderful atmosphere you crafted.

Is this multiplayer?

so this is basically 2D Dark Souls?

When We Reign, We Doom Ourselves To Inevitable Failure...

  • When We Reign -
    Is a difficult, yet simple, boss rush game.
    Face 4 challenging bosses that test your play-style and patience, with no buffs, no healing and no items. Fight with just the armour on your back and the sword in your hands.

As reigns come to an end, we fight each other and ourselves for the inherent glory, we expend as many lives as we need to achieve victory. What though, when a champion among them stands tall, above the others, and above you?

Controls:
Move & Jump - WASD / Up, Down, Left, Right Arrow Keys / G-Pad
Attack - Space / (Button X)
Attack Chain - Space / (Button X) During an Attack
Arrow Attack - Alt / (Button Y)
Dodge Roll - Shift / (Button B)
Interact - Enter / (Button A / Start)

This is my first ever complete game project, so I'd really appreciate feedback. :)
