One thing I should clarify- the hussites depicted in the game are the extremists that emerged after Hus’s execution. Every religion has their leaves that go a bit wild.
Was that supposed to be really bad history lesson or its just what happens in the game, you got me so confused. Keep pile of shit under your highest window just in case.
Oh no, ALL of the Hussites were extremist protestants, the whole point of the religion was breaking with catholic traditions and defending against the Czechs that remained catholic and the later HRE crusades. Ultrakviste part of the movement later joined the catholics against other Hussites, when they were promised freedom of religion. It's a complex topic and it's not really possible to talk about it without extensive research. Raiding Hungarians and other neighbourgs was not motivated by the religion, but it's simply what people did to enemies.
@@redanthalas8830^this. You gave a much better synopsis. They fought for reform, but there were few bad actors that pillaged for the sake of pillaging.
He reminds me so much of Harry Du Bois, from Disco Elysium. A drunk depressed cop who has a weird expression stuck on his face that he cant get rid of.
The hussites irl actually did win in the end. They forced the pope to adopt their reform and the pope actually praised jan hus and his peoples moral integrity. The moderates who were happy with getting everything they wanted then went to help the catholics beat the extremists who wanted to destroy the church itself.
@@mgedecim8tors Well the game takes place after the hussite wars. The hussites in the game are hussite merceneries led by Jan Jiskra who was send there by queen Elizabeth of Luxemburg to take care of her estates after she fled Hungary (or atleast according to wikipedia)
@@mgedecim8tors A problem I've seen you do constantly is pronouncing slavic napes in a western way. Like how you say Matej as "mah-tezh" instead of "ma-tei".
Id argue Hussites were more of a pseudo-protestant group rather than actually Roman Catholic but great video either way. Digging the focus on indie games :3
Especially when they leaned more heavily into millennial themes than the Catholic Church ever did since it advocated an overthrow of social order on any basis of iniquity, be it anything personal or otherwise.
Really lovely review. Your inconsistent pronunciation of Matej's name was a nice untitentinal running gag. Maybe I should do a drinking game over this :D
Excellent video here! I felt the summary was pretty concise alongside the enjoyable commentary on your part. One thing I'd like to point out is the music you used. I heard songs from both DRG and Laika: Aged Through Blood, which surprised me a bit. I wonder what sort of other niche titles you'll be looking at in the future.
Game feels very inspired by Sapkowski works, author of Witcher series, imo his hussite trilogy, which is similiar to felvidek in terms of its story and setting, is much better than the witcher itself and i recommend reading that to everyone
As the guy who's officially localising this game into Japanese, I can tell you the pronunciation of Matej is 'Matei' (like mah-tay) tay rhyming with 'tray'. Anyway good video. :)
The only thing I don’t like about this game is that the item name for the protagonist‘s character is old bassinet even tho it‘s a German Sallet helm as we see in the intro…
Talking about random indie games can help a lot. Stuff like the Zeno Clash series (prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos came out in 2023), Cookie Cutter, No Straight Roads, Wuppo, Harold Halibut, Soulstice, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip, My Familiair, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Genokids, Kings of Hell, Tohu, anything by Amanita Design, Zoink! and Moonhood Studio... there's so much out there deserving to be more known. Regardless of how tough it is to actually get out word of all those.
@@mgedecim8tors That makes me very glad and delighted to hear! No promises you'll like every one of them, let alone love them, (i don't know your specific tastes), but I hope you'll walk away from these games or remember them with a positive lasting impact and can spread word on them to people who are interested. Soulstice is one of my personal favourites and a good newcomer in the hack-and-slash/character action (Darksiders, DMC, Bayonetta-type stuff) genre, but i've seen people say that either the middle or the beginning drags on, a central mechanic is rather divisive, and the camera... isn't as optimal as it could be. But still, for a newcomer in a genre so little-catered to these days, it does a lot of good stuff, has a cool world with fairly extensive lore and nice writing, and moment-to-moment gameplay does *feel* good with a boatload of different enemy types and weapons. I'm saying this all because part of me is nervous that this may be the game you'll dip from the soonest, which i assume from... pretty much nothing, but nonetheless I hope you may spread word of that one. Perhaps to friends that are fan of the genre. The Zeno Clash series will probably more easily hold one's attention for how weird the art direction is. And the protagonist of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos specifically is uncannily weird and ugly and I love him. Cookie Cutter was also a favourite. It's a solid game as is that took a long time to make. The lead dev is quick on the draw in asking for criticism/mentions of bugs to make the base game as technically solid as can be, and loves to share ideas on twitter. He has stated his desire to further build up the base game, with stuff like new NPCs, quests, enemies, areas, story beats, bosses, and weapons. The most recent weapon idea he teased was a robot gimp that gets used like a whip, a shield and a skipping rope. (Weapons so far include a metal fist, a chainsaw, an electric guitar and two others). Like i said, i do hope you'll find them all interesting or at least look back on them all positively after looking into them. Have a good one and take care.
One question I have to ask that is plaguing my mind is, do Paula and Pavol get back together in the end? Is it shown/implied? I finished the game but still didn’t get it. I don’t see them being together after all of that… But I’m still confused.
@@mgedecim8tors But that’s strange though. She admitted she didn’t love him or regret what she did, while he said he still loved her but might move on without her. I’ve always considered it as a final goodbye rather than them coming back together, because this relationship is clearly toxic for the both of them.
@@NullAmbition when pavol says he wants to show her something and takes her on the hot air balloon, I think he meant to show her the world, what happens after is anyone’s guess.

@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb yeah, I really butchered that one.
So nobody actually gets that "qahwah" is an old name for coffee?
Well, it needs some language knowledge to connect that with the Slavic káva (or the Hungarian kávé).
Hungarians drink one cup of coffee and they start tweaking (turning into mutant horrors beyond comprehension)
Makes sense since Coffee originated in Ethiopia (where the purple beans come from in game)

Also, cast purge upon the enemies with buffs.
The Hussites actually still exist. The Moravian Church traces its roots to them.
Really lovely review. Your inconsistent pronunciation of Matej's name was a nice untitentinal running gag. Maybe I should do a drinking game over this :D
Its pronounced “Matay” right
The Hussites were early protestants and the situation was way more complicated.
Also, it's the 15th century, not 14th.
True, ty
1:45 Yeah, there was a lot of infighting back then. There's some who want to return to that era too lol
peasants: flying Jews in balloons i tell ya demons in the castle and hussites in the woods . wandering knight :okay sure buddy which way to the inn
holy shit that run/walk animation
Thank you for this video! Kinda hard to understand the dialogue at times so this helped
Turkish Beans? They need to be processed to get their powers? Are the purple beans some kind of coffee?
Yes, really good coffee. Then they’re processed to also brainwash people.
Coffee is the means of brainwash in Alan Wake as well. @@mgedecim8tors
Watch yourself around windows and long sticks with dangly bits at the end if you know whats good for you.
All history from this region for all time is like "They continued to fight each other after a shaky, short lived peace." Minor Catholic victory.
