Fun fact: that spinning powered up mode on the axe actually works as a propeller while under water.
So THAT’S why I kept moving forward while using it!
You even get an achievement for using it like that
Weapons too big but yeah game itself was epic

For those of you arriving from the Steam Storefront, your quote reference is at 1:55. You're welcome.
Wait Civvie got quoted on the Steam storefront? Or was it an in-game quote?
You are a blessing
Oh don't worry as of now he's on like 3 or 4 new blood games and they all usually reference his dick in some way
@@bretarseneault7302 civvie is qouted in just about every new blood games steam page under "reviews"
I paused it right after that. Had to go and check that they did it. Was not disappointed.
I think I enjoy Civvie more when he is happy with a game than angry at something bad. His insight to why a shooter does and doesn't work is pretty great
I mean. Isn't it natural to see man love and enjoy something he talks about for at least half an hour?
@@deaddymanny7309 you mean? You mean that? What? That you mean? I mean, what do you mean?
It's like when The Nerd stumbles on a good game in a collection episode.
Seeing him in the Commodore-64 episode play through so much trash then gueinuelny smile, laugh and be happy when he found Street Hassle was great.
@@zigfaust When you devote your life to reviewing the worst of what entertainment has to offer (i.e. LJN), it makes the higher quality works shine brighter in your eyes (i.e. the one game LJN made that wasn’t shit).
Came off too much as a fluff piece, to be honest. You'd think the game was perfect, which it certainly isn't.
Hey Civvie, Gantlet is the older spelling of gauntlet. Not the armor, but the meaning of being a dangerous set of rooms/traps. Same reason why Doom II used that spelling. Random trivia for ya.
Source? 🤨 I've studied old and middle english, not to mention medieval warfare, and never come accross that. Im not calling you a liar, I'm just curious where you heard that.
@@kungfuskull in old franc, the word describing cloth that protect the hand was "want" that evolve in both "gant" and "guant", depending of the way "gu" was pronounced.
If you did study old and middle English, i don't have to explain the influence of french language, particularly over something like the name of an expensive armor piece (for the other, cf william the conqueror), so the french word was "gantelet" so i can see this orthograph being spread and being mixes after the 11th century.
@@ludovicm5585 so it's in the same general category as sheep vs mutton, I see. Neat. Didn't know that bit of trivia.
@@kungfuskull "Gant" is certainly mentioned in Shakespeare in the context of it being a glove, just out of interest.
@@DaveDexterMusic I... can't think of an example 🤔 and I've read nearly all his stuff, but, certainly not memorized. Name one?
To anyone attempting this next and having trouble with Solar Saint: trick is to actually look at him while strafing when he jumps in the air. Then when he starts coming down immediately switch to strafing in opposite direction and jump as soon as he hits the ground.
He always targets the place you are going to be at when he touches ground, but doesn't change direction mid flight. Moving to one side makes him actually hit away from you if you shift direction at a proper moment. Hope it helps someone.
It was kinda baffling that Civvie didn't look up at any point during that fight.
Hey i can help even more. The solar saint wont jump on outer circles so when he jumps up leave the main circle. Also soul power water staff will kill him in extremely quickly.
@@Mutant1988 - I know, right? Even on my first time fighting him I always watched where he was going. No problem.
@@Mutant1988 I guess this is why this isn't Pro Amid Evil ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re doing God’s work
There's an enemy that uses the same attack as the whisper blade, and when the two projectiles meet, they make the sound of two swords clashing. It's a fantastic little detail and I love it

In DUSK you couldn't kill the tornado. Now in Amid Evil you can, with magic weapons.
have to wonder what ultrakill and gloomwood are gonna do with tornadoes
You do defeat a tornado in Serious Sam: TSE. Not kill it, though, they specifically mention that.
Civvie is the only person I've ever obeyed spoiler alerts from, him posting these videos is what pushed me to actually finish Amid Evil and Dusk before watching
Mataku Lasame me too
Mataku Lasame I remember when beneath dusk #1 came out. I rushed for 2 days to beat episode 1 in order to watch his video. Also does he cover only the first episode of Amid Evil in this video or all of them?
Mataku Lasame Don’t want to get spoiled
@@atomicpunch1990 he covers everything he played, so the pre-finished first 4, and then the last 3 episodes
totally agreed. I regard his videos as a kind of, catalyst for playing fps.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sound design in this game? I think a good example would be the health pickups. The same sound could have been used for all of them, but no, they each have their own variant of a base sound that gets progressively longer and more “angelic” as the pickups increase in size. The sound for the 200 health pickup in particular seems to have been specifically designed to activate all the dopamine production centers in the brain!
Am i happy that civvie has been playing genuinely good games? Yes
Do I wish he would play more dogshit games because I need more Gordon? Also yes
@@jacksongrantham4848 YOU DONKEY! those are honestly the best parts
@@Bluecatte Agreed
Iunno, he could throw in the "Finally, some good fucking food" clip a few more times.
I love that Civvies such a boomer that he didn’t think to look up during Solar Saint’s jump attack
For real! 😂😂😂😂
When I fought minos prime in ultrakill, I never looked up when he jumps. I just listen from here he says "Crush" or "Die" and I know where to dodge
I love that you are such a zoomer that you think we should rely on the internet to teach us game mechanics.
@@insensitive919he meant looking up as in you look at the sky
@@insensitive919I love that you're such a retard that you think to "look up" could only mean to web-browse
The idea of Earth and all the other planets being but a mere projectiles for a enormous godly being's weapon, is far more scarier than any horror game ever made.
It's hilarious for me when I supposedly must be using it with great responsibility but instead end up being a complete dipshit and either launch the planets into walls near me by accident or just start rocket jumping all over the place (though, the latter allowed me to find lots of secrets, so not a complete waste).
I don't think it's actually destroying planets as you would have destroyed the same planet multiple times, it might be firing copies or potential alternate world's from other dimensions, but maybe time just doesn't matter to the Old One's. Though this is apparently a fight for the entire Universe, a few planets, even a few thousand, are insignificant in the fact of that.
@@AveSicarius Well, you can't really expect the developers to make a hundred planet sprites just to keep it consistent xd

Amid Evil is fucking great, and so is this video!
New Blood is quickly becoming one of the best up-and-coming studios out there, honestly can't wait to see when they start doing some huge titles that hit it off big
Haha with the solar solstice boss I love that Civvie is so conditioned on his boomer shooters that he didn't even think about looking up to see where the boss would be dropping. It worked like a charm for my playthrough, the boss just tries to land in front of where you are going.
One guy said a Civvie video always goes up with food in front of him. I can confirm this to he true.

Also, that is probably the best cover version/reimagining of "Big Gun" I've ever heard.

Brandon Sergent and I got 4 lawn care ads. 🤔
I watched up 'til 20 minutes in, then went and bought the game.
I'll be back to watch this again.
I've done this a couple times watching his vids.... Amid Evil, Blood, Ion Fury, etc. Damnit, Civvie 11!! Quit spending my money!!
Did you finish both then, my old son?
Same
he didn't mention that you finish off evil with the GODDAMN AXE
Not just some axe.
THE FUCKING AXE OF THE BLACK LABYRINTH, CREATED BY THE OLD GODS THEMSELVES! ;)
And you lop off Evil's finger, as in the splash art.
I'm sorry......?
WHAT?
I honestly think this is what Romero wanted Quake to be.
Probably because it's a MAJOR ASS SPOILER
If anyone cares, Secret Joke level music at 29:30 is a vocal version of "I SAWED THE DEMONS" from Doom, and Boss music at 30:20 is "BIG GUN" by AC/DC
I think both are Big Gun
thanks a ton!
It's all Big Gun, but to be fair "I sawed the demons" was...ahem..."heavily inspired" by that song
Just booted up the MDK video again, since I was missing CIVVIE. Checked mail and saw this instead. Pretty happy right now.
"Gantlet" is the actual word that refers to a test of endurance, such as having to leave a town with your hands tied while villagers beat you with sticks and rocks, like at the beginning of Highlander. "Gauntlet" is a different thing -- but it has taken on a secondary meaning identical to "gantlet". So the Clint Eastwood movie "The Gauntlet" is a story about him "running a gantlet" through an army of cops with tommy guns in a bus he welded iron plates on to.
This happened long enough ago (probably more than 100 years) that it would be weird to try to say that using "gauntlet" to refer to the endurance test is wrong. Language evolves. Anyhow, gantlet/gauntlet both can refer to the same thing.
Awesome. Strapping in for this one. Just started playing this to mixed feelings.
Mostly because I suck at it.
16:36 Looks like we found Civvie's greatest weakness. Z-axis.
How about you try to look up sometimes?
He grew up in the 90s. He's skilled, but not adaptable. This pattern implies two dimensional thinking. ua-cam.com/video/RbTUTNenvCY/v-deo.html
Gamers can't look up. Just like dogs.
might be a hold over from all those shitty dos games

Speaking of Painkiller...
WHEN?
I'll second that. A Painkiller video would be a great time. We'd get to laugh at the awful cutscenes and ponder its mixture of Serious Sam and Quake.
Painkiller Redemption; for when you want something truly irredeemable.
ThomasShatter christ I loved that game. The original, that is. The spinoffs... ugh.
The way The Forges unfolds is just brilliant, one of my favorite pieces of level design ever and Amid Evil is fucking awesome.
The best game developrs are the ones that look at a level and say "This needs to be fun before it's pretty."

Interesting how secrets are subjective. The early one he calls hard to find was the first one I ever found and I actually thought I was just following the correct path. But some others look obvious in this video, but I missed in my playthrough. Funny that.
A friendly reminder: When the channel reaches 100k subscribers, Civvie will play Duke Nukem: Forever.
I love that this is no longer a question of "if", but "when".
What are you going to do when he finally hits it?
You are going to be out of a job
A reminder that you should stop reminding us. /s
Play? I don't care. Pro DNF or nothing, bitch.

This looks like everything Quake and Hexen were trying to be, but didn't quite manage. And I say that as a guy who loves Quake and Hexen. Top of the wish list.

"Well there goes that plan"
Out of all the new old school boomer shooters, I think this one is my favorite.
I'd say it's better than Dusk, and Dusk is phenomenal. I like the shorter episodes with 4 levels and boss fights, they never overstay their welcome, the level design is phenomenal, and I think that the weapon design is the best I have seen. Every weapon is useful. Some for clusters of enemies and overcharge, some for desperation, some for annoying flying targets. Who knew that putting autoaim on your basic staff will make it the most useful weapon in the game. 10/10 game, all killer, no filler.
I love that moment after you kill the final boss when you realize the end level screen has been you killing the final boss the whole time.
9:06 "The earth has been through enough I think."
if only he knew...
I waited for this one. Amid Evil is just so good. Actually took a break from playing it just to watch my boi Civvie play it.
Just a tip for most of the people, especially those who were stuck in Ep.4 The Solar Solstice's Boss "Solar Saint" you can basically look up and anticipate his arrival in its ground slam attack. IDK If this works, but when I did, it just sort of worked. Sure you can randomize your movement, but anticipating attacks of the boss seemed to be easier giving you the edge.
Satisfying and wonderful staffs AND rods?
sign. me. up. 🧡
I demand a link to that Big John music
Missed opportunity for developers - using lightning in water could damage everybody in the water (IIRC it was implemented in Quake). Great video though!
Thought the same thing when I saw Civvie using it underwater. :)
Was it quake or another game, used lightning gun underwater and received instant death.
@@MoShugah Quake. Use the Thunderbolt while submerged in any liquid and you're toast.
@@channel5980 Interestingly, the damage is based on how much cell ammo you have, since all of your cells are consumed when you do it. It deals 35 damage per cell to enemies, and half that to yourself, for a max of 3500 enemy damage and 1750 self-damage. If you barely have any cells (or are invincible) then you won’t die from an underwater discharge.
"Gantlet of Torment" is a reference to the misspelling in Doom 2's level "The Gantlet".
It's actually not a misspelling at all.
No it's the Guntlet.

Is this a new thing? Gen-X getting lumped in with Boomers? Or does Boomer mean something else these days?
@@earthswine999 it's a joke about the fact that he only plays boomer shooters.
get with the times grandpa
It's a 4chan thing, I recommend ignoring it
Garth Hendy Civvie has literally made a joke about being a Boomer before. It’s a meme.
Looks fun. The battle against the big John army at the end there with ACDC’s Big Gun (on organ) playing was great!
I hope they'll make more game like Dusk, AMID EVIL or Ion Maiden because that's nostalgia done right.
Well... Now we need Ion Maiden, Wraith: Aeon Of Ruin and Prodeus! D:
2 out of 3 done.
Very late pro tip - Solar Saint doesn't disappear in skybox when he jumps, so you could avoid those deaths by just _looking _*_up._*

Seconded.
yes
seriously he has to do cryptic passage first and also strife is amazing but how much tech is actually in strife because it's been 20 years since I've played it all the way through
Please.
That would be dope
Man this looks like it's pretty fun! It's like a mix between hexen, quake and doom with a hint of Doom Eternal....
Well, after making it through the game twice, once on Hard once on Evil, I must say that I actually find that there IS one bad (relatively) weapon - the Voltride. It is only effective if you have an average or big mob of various enemies assembled, you need to pick one, focus on him and fry only him for quite some time, then it's beautiful, chain lightning boom and bloody chunks everywhere, Solmyr approves. Unfortunately, it's REALLY not suited for this game, with all the rapid erratic moving and shooting and mobs being FAST, takes too much of your effort and attention, gets you killed. You would do much better with planet lobbing or whisper's edge waves of slice and dice in the same situation, and if you are strapped for anything but blue mana azure orb soul mode is still much better in my opinion.
Yeah, Voltride was my least used weapon. Way too finicky to get those chain lightnings.
That level after the temple...
_Stunning..._
That music...
_Beautiful..._
This game...
_I love it..._
*_I need it._*
7:30 Man that still feels amazing to watch. Love Army of Darkness. *edit* love the little advertising intermissions. Neat little touch and doesn't make the ads come out of nowhere
Civvie, the final boss's attacks are based on where you are in the level, except for when he gets to low health and pulls out all the stops. So if you park yourself behind the blue torch he'll constantly use the blue attack until that point, which is trivial to dodge.
7:30
How it feels when a new Civvie vid hits my inbox
This game is just so, so, so tighly crafted, balanced, beautiful and polished. I feel like the only thing it lacks is a really iconic character to slap on all the marketing material. And I definitely agree that Foregone Fortress is the best level, it's like the boomer shooter level design formula taken to perfection.
Edit: can't forget about the soundtrack! It not only proves that Hulshult is capable of a much wider range of genres and styles than he's often paid to do, but it also fits the both the pacing and the world itself incredibly well.
The mace is one of the most satisfying weapons I’ve used in an FPS in a long time
The mace when powered up is hilariously op. I was having a tough time on the forgemaster and said what the hell I’ll try the mace, not thinking it would do much. Dude was dead before I even checked his health bar. Killed him in less than 4 seconds I think.
The mace is a certified boss killer weapon in this game. Chews through green mana like crazy, but it doesn't matter because the baddie will be dead by the time you run out of it (final boss being the exception).
Damn Civvie last time I was this early people were preordering the first Duke Nukem Forever
Just replayed Solar Solstice and while this is really late to ask, but when the boss does his jump attack... why didn’t you just look up to see where he would land?
You know what game I'd love to see you reviewing? Shadow Man.
Better stockpile those Gordon clips now then.
Yes.
@@unethicalknight yeah but it's still a fun game.
I made a rule ever since playing enter the gungeon that if you have a weapon that shoots planets, that game is automatically awesome.
14:34 Glad to see that Kukulkan, the God of wind from Serious Sam TSE found himself another job.
Love this game - thanks for the video! A tip for the Solar Sanctuary boss battle. Look up at the boss when he jumps super high. You'll be able to see him coming down and predict the landing. He also leads you, so changing directions as he makes his descent will save you future headaches ;).

Yo. Just wanted to give thanks to Civvie 11. Without him, I never ever would have even known this game existed. Just got done playing through the whole thing. I'm pretty bad at FPS games in general, but I had a blast beating a tough room of enemies or surviving a deadly trap, pausing the game, and taking a moment to sigh in satisfaction and relief. Satisfaction at playing an FPS that is actually fun. Relief that I didn't die again. Good stuff. Thank you, Civvie.
All right Civvie-11, enough of the blue balling, I've been paying attention to your videos, so tell me- PRO SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT WHEN MY BOY
Also for those who don't know, if you try to use the powered-up Celestial Claw on the Solar Saint, he just absorbs the suns
He literally vanquished evil with two eyes closed
With regards to the Solar Saint, I think the shout he makes is when he's picked exactly where to land, which always seems to be exactly where you're going to be if you keep going in the same direction. So I think if you switch directions after you hear that shout, you should be fine.
The Void is probably the closest representation of the realm of Tzeentch we have in a game.
Hey hey people.
This video is worth watching for the ending alone, amazing work as always. So happy I found this channel relatively early on
Can't wait for someone to say "Amid Evil is Dark Souls of FPS" because of _You died_ xD
Well, to be fair, some of the enemies, and YOU DIED and the writing on the wall and the walls are kind of reminding me of Dark Souls. Which is not a good thing because I hate Dark Souls, but not enough to give AE a pass.

lol "the first weapon you get in this episode is one that shoots planets at things, so that should give you an idea of how this is gonna to go" utter perfection
arcane expanse from this game should be taught at every graphic design class ever. absolutely insane
I'm still thinking about the fact that the weapons are *Normal mapped sprites* That is mind blowing, and as I've been learning UE4 for a few years now, I understand how genius that is. This game is Pro Normal Mapping.
Hey Civvie, with the solar saint you can look up to see the direction of his fall, and then move in opposition to it to be safe (mostly), just don't fall off!
This game is gaudy in a way that feels like what would happen if you went back in time and gave 1994 game devs the modern Unreal engine
7:14 "Not talking about some Serious Sam/Painkiller backwards death march where you hold down the S key and shoot [...]"
No, he's talking about some Serious Sam/Painkiller sideways death march where you hold down the A/D key and shoot.
Another New Blood masterwork. Still waiting for the The Black Labyrinth expansion though, but no pressure there, we all know one can't rush art *looks at Rockstar, Blizzard, and Gearbox.*
there's a video I seen from zero punctuation, it was something like "triple a games companies are getting worse while double a games are getting better" .
something like that
Civvie, thank you for making me love shooters! This game is now one of my favorites. The atmosphere is so perfectly up my alley. I want a sequel!
Could you not look up to see where the boss with the jump attack went when he jumps?
Could help I guess
Mann you just keep getting better and better. One of the few channels on this site that is truly passionate and knowledgeable about their genre. I love you
