The game seems really cool. Could you tell me if there is a way to disable the chromatic aberration effect? It is the overlay effect that distorts the areas around the edges of the screen (by bleeding orange and blue color from nearby pixels) and is usually located inside the post processing settings for most game engines.
I bought this game after the last time Splatt highlighted it. Decent game. Logged probably 80 hours at that time when I finished everything, and more content has been added since. Def worth the money.
That's a great endorsement really. If somebody had fun after playing 80 hours and remembers it fondly. I think that's a good sign. As long as it's your type of game of course. And it looks very interesting to me.
@@rei1789 yeah, I honestly enjoyed it and would have played more. But I rebuilt my PC at the time and forgot to backup my save file, so lost my character with all max gear and stuff, then felt kind of overwhelmed at the idea of completely redoing everything, so set the game down at that point. But I'm sure I'll go back eventually, since there's a lot more content there now.
@@zenhaelcero8481 Thanks for the review! hours played is imo a good indicator for the most part. Hate reviews on steam that go '' Positive - love the game so far! '' 1.57 hours played.

The multiplayer in this title is described as social. There is a chat for players in general, like there is in Tales of Maj'Eyal, and you can see players running around in town to make things more lively. They do not actually interact with your world, however. The dev says their team is too small to implement much more interactivity, and has no plans to expand on it.
I wonder if mod support may eventually allow for some sort of party mechanics. If people can make Skyrim multiplayer, and this game already has the ghost of the framework for shared instances, it's not unthinkable that people could do such a thing.
@@BrandanLee To give some context, one of the developers had a small project years ago called Gran Skrea (MMORPG) that was a 3D version of RS. It was a great game but development had basically slowed to a crawl and the game died. They shut servers down. This game is building off of what they learned from that game. I've been playing this game for an year and have really enjoyed it.
Really not trying to belittle you guys or anything, because it's good that you notice some of these things, but it's VERY OBVIOUS you have never tried to do a full commentary stream while playing a new game and if you have you would see how difficult it is and so easy to miss the little things. To call it annoying is just very undermining to the effort, time and skill a video like this takes. Most of these tutorials don't usually matter and it comes with the territory that you miss out on certain things when you skip them in favor of keeping the videos short, exciting and informative.
I still have fond memories of madly making maple bows to get my fletching skill up onto the ranking list or something they had. And the incredible feeling of when I walked into the wilderness and two guys fully decked out in full rune armor had just wound up fighting to the death. I managed to run off with a full set of bright blue armor, which I was so proud of given how few people had it back then. Then my little brother lent it to a "friend" and it was gone.
I have always loved gathering, and doing non-combat activities that still progress my character in some way or another. I never liked farming kills, I just find it annoying, because I feel stuck in one place doing one thing. Farming gathered items feels better because I am traveling to many different areas, and it feels like I have more control over how my time is spent. So I think I might enjoy this one a lot, even when I am forced to farm kills and items off kills. I had already put this one on my wish list from your last video, but I chose to just buy it this time... thru your link here of course. :)
That’d be the most relatable/hilarious feature if you can turn that online feature on. See people. But can’t interact with them It makes my introvert heart so happy 😂❤
Because it's still in Early Access, that's why. Give it time. If this ends up being one of the early access games that actually gets FINISHED and reaches full release, I think you'll see a lot more reviews and more popularity for it.
Downloaded the demo but wasn't convinced. A HUGE part of Runescape for me, still an active player in both Old School and RS3 is the quest design. That kind of... point and click style. Unless I didn't do the right quests it's just the standard "go here, kill this, grab that" kind of quest that... isn't Runescape. Still an interesting game but doesn't do much different from other games for me at least.
No hostility meant, I think you are a dying breed. Most people into runescape these days either love psychotically minmaxing crafting skills, or run PVP. I say that as a man who started a group ironman and proceeded to spent a month of playtime purely at wintertodt and tempeross haha
I MAYBE played Runescape for an hour or something decades ago, so I don't know what you mean when you say "That kind of... point and click style" and I'm interested in what these quests are like? Could you describe what you mean in more detail?
@@christian_gamer_guy6447 The quests in runescape are just really interesting. I only got so far into the quests when I last played but I remember being actually interested in the story. Not sure exactly what he means by point and clicky though.
@@christian_gamer_guy6447 He meant as in point and click adventure games. Quests in Runescape are often story based, with some puzzles sprinkled inbetween. Questing in Runescape is actually really fun, because of it.
I love how the indie scene provides the games we want, meanwhile AAA studio after AAA studio shuts down due to poor sales. Gjeee....maybe it rewards to listen to what gamers really want and that we don't need super shiny ultra realistic graphics, but just want good gameplay and a fun game.
the game currently has 166 reviews, less than 100 concurrent players & estimated sales of around 8k while having been out for over a year in early access. I somehow doubt any large studios are looking at that with envy. If anything just goes to show why AAA companies ignore what gamers say and base their games on what they actually buy. They're generally very different things.
@@ryandunne2659 I think the issue with a game like this, and with indie games in general, is visibility. There are probably more than tens of thousands of people that would be interested in this game, but they will mostly likely never know about it, OR they will be so overwhelmed with other options that they will not have/make time for something like this, sadly.
@@mick7727 I have no idea how much the game cost but 8k sales at £12 (then - 30% for valve) for multiple years work even if there were no additional costs isn't great for anything other than a one man studio. I think the game looks great and hope it gains some traction so its no shade on the game/dev. But these "Why aren't AAA games doing this!" post just seem a bit out of touch. These companies are looking to generate billions in revenue not make enough for mortgage payments by catering to an extremely small niche
@@christian_gamer_guy6447 I definitely agree visibility is an issue for games like this but i think often the idea is so niche that the money required to reach everyone that would be interested in the game outweighs the actual income that could be gained which is why AAA games are so broad. Something like this would probably massively benefit from sponsoring the big runescape streamers to play it but even then i know for bigish streamers a 4 hour segment can cost 20-30k. You would have to generate a lot of sales for that to be worthwhile especially for solo/small dev team.
Finally an offline single player RuneScape ! Defo buying this, hopefully with more traction and more money the developer is making, the question variety and quality will improve
This is crazy to find now cause I’ve spent well over a year in unreal engine to make a rs-like combat only game I can play on my own. I knew I wasn’t the only one
Ive been wanting a grinding single player game that has that feel of an MMO without having to deal with the MMO part, so this is definitely going on to the wishlist until actual release
Sweet. I started playing RS around the same time. The day the 25 year cape is available I can get it on my main because I started before they started keeping track of your account age.
I tried RS but I'm at that age where I've done my time in multiplayer mmos and now just look forward to single player so I never really bothered putting much time in. 5 mins into this vid and I'm up on the PC firing up steam and investing £12.79 ready for a session tomorrow 😁
you don't need to engage in runescapes multiplayer at all dude... they have official modes for single player xD don't waste your time with this shit game
The full release with updated inventory management, higher skill caps and extended story is next month. It was a good game already and the update will make it even better.
What a gem of a title! I just picked up 1.0 and have put about 12 hours in thus far. Story isn't too complicated but i have not played a game with this story premise before. It is a lot like runescape so it satisfies that itch. There is no hand holding on quests and I miss that with modern titles. Makes me think about early WoW when there was no quest tracker. You had to actually find the quest objective and i missed that mechanic. Everything these days is just ticking boxes... but not this game. And the download isnt 100+Gb! Lol😂
I didn't get into the original Runescape. I was in college when it came out and knew if I sunk too much time into online games I would fail my classes. Later on, I also decided to skip the reboots of it (i.e. Runescape 3 / Runescape OG) because it just felt too expensive for being so outdated. But this one looks like fun. Single player so I don't have to worry about clans or raids (now that I'm working for a living I just don't have that kind of time), lots of different skills and mechanics to try, and a world map that feels "lived in." I like it. Might try it out later. Update: 10 minutes later, I just found out that I ALREADY have the game in my Steam Library. No idea where it came from, I don't remember buying it. I guess it might have been part of a bundle sale or something. Cool.
Seems cool but I'm not sold. I've enjoyed some RuneScape here and there through the years, and the big appeal is seeing and interacting with all the other players. RuneScape is basically already a single player game with mmo social elements. The thing that puts me off from RuneScape is member only this and that, so maybe this would actually appeal more to me. Thanks for the video splattercat!
Damn, Splat, we could've even played together then. I started when there was like 1-3 servers only and around 500 players total online, maybe. We're all fossils, lol. P.S those funny dial up disconnect times mid fight lol, the sweat, the pain.
Wow this game takes me back a bit, def on my list now. I tapped out of MMO's and most multiplayer games so its nice to see some of these games fit right into what I want, without the toxic kiddos playing around me.
Not sure if this was added after you made the recording, but if you right click near the loot drop, you can choose what you want to individually pick up or take all.
I always thought the idea of a singleplayer mmo style game would be interesting. Lol after splatter moused over to a bandit in the opening i also moused over another bandit instinctively.
15:45 that's exactly why I think a lot of games suffer and maybe also rely so much on fast travel. Their worlds suck and they're boring. Generally I don't WANT to fast travel until I feel like I've thoroughly explored the area or map, and if there are no dynamic things that happen in the world, but so many games' worlds are so boring and dull that it just feels like a complete waste of time to not fast travel.
honestly runescape is basically singleplayer by itself lol I never really did anything with other people when I played it, because you never really need to
Single player Runescape? Just bought it, thanks for sharing this gem, Splat!

It’s nothing like runescape, I didn’t see a single bot in the vid.
i was about to comment the alck of bots/scammers/ppl asking to buy a gf suggest otherwise xD beat me to it

Classic Splat
yep, classic "i should play this so i can notice what the npc said"

Cool game 🎮 😎 👍congrats on 900k Splat!

I loved RS quest design
I've watched this video 3 times and told so many people about it; I'm feeling Splatter's excitement and loving it, it is rubbing off on me, too, lol.

Once you buy a house you can port to that too. The little house on your UI in bottom right left of the bust icon will allow you to use it.
Instantly bought this after watching your video. THANK YOU!!!

Need this game in my life right now

6:20 Ha, one of the wolves got distracted by a rabbit. Smart AI
6:24 Oh nevermind. AI should have called the other two wolves for reinforcement.
It was probably a Lone Wolf 😂
this looks quite charming and fun
yep, bought. thanks man.
Its like an adhd satisfaction generator.
I saw the bridge “is that fucking lumbridge” lmao game looks great
Thanks for the review. Getting the game due to your hard work.
Game looks amazing, can't wait to buy this. Hope they add lots of content and endgame stuff down the line, yearning for an offline mmo-like atm.
That poor lady was so sad about all that crab murderin' going on. Never even acknowledged. :p
tertiary was the right word sir. well done!
Adding this to wishlist cause I'm playing Once Human, but once my group falls apart I'll be on it like a bonnet.
There's already a single player RuneScape. Play Iron Man on OSRS. It's great and pretty much what is keeping OSRS alive.
I have been itching for something like this . I really enjoy the older sandbox mmos, but rather be able to play it offline and explore the world.
I didn't get into the original Runescape. I was in college when it came out and knew if I sunk too much time into online games I would fail my classes.

I'd like to see a single-player version of WoW, but rather than a homage to the original, I'd like to see a cultivated single-player experience.
Ahhh I remember the original Runescape was a big fan played all the time and laugh when I remember that gate.
I'll definitely get this game. I'm not too keen on multi-player games so this is just the ticket.
I still think a single player EQOA would be dope. It was an MMORPG on the PS2 so the combat felt less clunky than most other old school MMORPGs.
Bought it the first day it launched on early acces, love the game
I can't believe games like this ever held my attention.
When we're young, our brains love repetition. That might play a role.

Looks awesome, I'm all about the single player games
Def keeping my eye on this one
Never knew this existed. Can't wait to try it. Another game I got to buy because of splat 😂
Wow this game takes me back a bit, def on my list now. I tapped out of MMO's and most multiplayer games so its nice to see some of these games fit right into what I want, without the toxic kiddos playing around me.
RuneScape is much bigger now, thats for sure. Perhaps not all parts were good but it expanded nevertheless.
This game looks awesome!
Guild Wars 2 Lions Arch. That is how a city should look like. :)

Lol after splatter moused over to a bandit in the opening i also moused over another bandit instinctively.
15:45 that's exactly why I think a lot of games suffer and maybe also rely so much on fast travel. Their worlds suck and they're boring.

I'm definitely buying this.
This game is sick looking.
honestly runescape is basically singleplayer by itself lol
I never really did anything with other people when I played it, because you never really need to
I like the idea of single player but would also enjoy up to four players at least
Wolf drops raw meat.
Just instantly tossed back to OSR with raw beef and cowhides.
Reminds me of Neverwinter Nights, I might try this one.
Looks almost like dungeon seige 1, might be great for me
Looks sick
Damn you, Splat!! Stop emptying my Steam wallet!!!
Playing OS Runescape on my second monitor while watching this on my main monitor. Good times 🤓
This channel, is awesome.
Looks awesome 🎉im buying it, looks like a good projekt
Sir Ramza : If you google which Runescape is better, old Runescape or new Runescape, the answer is The Black Grimoire: Cursebreaker
No fast travel + THS + Wet & Cold.
Play the demo! If you like it your progress continues upon purchase!
900K! Let's goooooooo.
How about streaming this on twitch. It looks like a cool game.
Full release of this game should be late October.
Noice!
The bear paw is a rare paw? Sold! 🐻
Thanks for the video.
My first thought was It's like WoW on a long forgotten private server 🤔
Looks good. Ironically, I'd be way more inclined to play if it was an MMO.
Did you prefer this or gedonia?
This looks fun, already bought based on your last video. I have so many games I've never played.
