i actually LOVE the base building parts, they provided a very welcomed breath of fresh air between battles. especially with how challenging some of the later stages are, it was always nice to come back to a peacefully cleansed area
Clear, concise and informative review. Such a breath of fresh air from reviewers who like to speed run through their reviews like theyre being chased by a pack of wild hyenas.
There is actually 2 Demon Slayer games currently available. The new one is a breath of fresh air that will have people crying because it's done different from the norm. I however absolutely love it...!!!
A Master hidden gem! I know it just came out, but i dont see a lot of people talking about it, and from the steam charts, it's under the 1k players atm. Sadly, not a lot of people aren't experiencing it right now! The design of everything from this game to the music just takes so much risk for making it into a tower defense game. I highly recommended if you just want a casual experience or challenging. It is up to you man. I loved it ❤
It feels like an indie game. Like, a mix of ideas that just work so well. I am enjoying it. And I prefer games that make you stick around for the gameplay loop, rather than padded exposition. So I don't mind the story not being so thick. Also, the base building parts are so quick and easy, that it's hardly a chore.
I'm loving the game. It's a breath of fresh air, it's actually a cool exposition to another country's culture, traditions and art, via the influence. The only criticism I have is that Musubi should be used to upgrade Soh, and the villagers should be upgraded by repairing the village buildings. That would add stakes to village building.
This is a pleasant surprise, and I'm super happy it came to PC (and PC Game Pass). The best part of GP for me hasn't been saving money on 1 or 2 games I want to buy, but instead it's been the discovery of new games I'd otherwise never purchase. Really excited to try this out!
I feel like this games existence is a personal attack on me(obviously not really). I was just talking to my buddies that Capcom doesn’t make many isometric’ish games. I also said that it’d be a pretty neat idea if they put out a spinoff isometric Monster Hunter game and this sort of makes me think it’s possible now.
10/10 most soulful game of the generation. It's the antithesis to movie games. No wannabe Hollywood nonsense here. AA the way forward to save today's rotten videogame industry. Don't listen to the game journos complaining about dumb stuff, they gave lesser games 10/10. If you're on the fence, absolutely get this game!
I never really play games like this but being Capcom and a huge MH and Japanese culture fan I’m stuck to it! Great game. Also if you’ve beaten Okami and have the save data you get a special outfit for both characters! And a sword skin for Soh
I liked the break that rebuilding the town gave me. I would get a chance to strategize and plan out how I wanted to attack my next mission and which characters I wanted to focus my Mitsubi on
I have four villages so far and rebuilt three of them completely. I'm liking the game a lot! I thought it was gonna be repetitive, but each village ended having different play styles so it mixed it up enough
I just beat the games main story, and i must say i was pleasantly surprised, by how different and good the game felt to play, and it was never dull because of the varied enemies and level design. A true Hidden gem in my opinion
I saw that they used self made miniature buildings and recorded fire works and explosions for the game, what an unique approach, made me really interested in it. Looks like they put a lot of love and ideas into it and that's what gaming needs these days, give ne anything that isn't soulless and only exists for money. I need some new hidden gems I can tell my friends of so I'm gonna play this
After playing just not what I hoped it to be. Wasn't really expecting some of the game mechanics like the Night/Day attacks and preparation which I didn't like. Combat is insanely satisfying and the art direction and polish of this game is extremely well done no bugs and performance issues at all. However, the awful story and weird cutscene sequences really took me out of whatever journey we were on. Was really looking forward to this game but it's definitely one of those games where you love it or not with little in between. I can see someone giving this game a 9 or even 10 but for me definitely a solid 6.
It should also be mentioned that the religious aspects from the deep cultural roots in buddhism shine through. Cyclicality, jobs being more what the villagers do and less who they are, kindness to nature, unity, shared rituals etc. It is crafted with pure love.
This reminds me of Okami . I mean purifying villages just like Okami but not heavily story heavy . I mean the folklore the nature related game plays it’s like I feel is like a successor of Okami . Since Okami is under capcom . If u think abt it
I personally like the base building aspect. One of the most satisfying things about the game is cleansing the land of defilement, to right wrongs. Fixing the villages up is also satisfying and visually pleasing. Statues get fixed, plants bloom. To have that in menus would not be as appealing. You could make it so there is not a wait time to fix things, do some sort of mini game to inspire people to build or something.
Don't know if it would be better to handle the rebuilding part through menus. Perhaps allow you to do it in both ways for those in a hurry, or let you immediatly teleport to the part of the map that you want. Making the whole thing happen through menus would be more of a choice to save development time for other areas than to directly improve gameplay of that part of the game. Being able to actually see the villages being rebuilt has merit in itself, especially in a game where the narrative is done exclusively through visuals.
The point of making you run around the base to repair it is so you can appreciate how beautiful the game is. You're supposed to look around and see how the villagers improve the base. That's why you can pet all the animals and all the villagers have unique names. Repairing through a menu might have been a nice QoL but I believe the intention was to slow down and see the good you've done in the world.
The mask reminds me of Patapon ,the recruitment, the positioning of them and fighting along side them reminds me of Patapon The Meden was even there when you fight bosses ,which reminds me of the hatapon xD Kidding aside I hope they port this Gem to switch.
Can anyone place me to the direct site to leave a review to the company, However I feel if your ever a ORG ONIMUISHA fan it subconsciously brought you to the game. I for sure enjoy the gameplay, structure , and even the stages doesn't feel repetitive. look forward into more skins, and swords . The calm base music super joyful
Curious as to why literally no one here noticed the basic framework of tower defense and hack and slash was done by brutal legend first ( as far as im aware). Regardless this looks like such a neat and focused building of that franework. Definitely need to try.
Reviewer definitely exaggerated the tedium of the base building lol It's so quick and simple it hardly slows down the gameplay loop at all. It's quite relaxing too.
Played it for around 2 hours. 8/10 is a great score for this game. I would give it a 6.8 to 7. Dont know if it gets better but i got bored. It is to easy and the choices-strategy you can make with the villagers dont have any serious impact. Also the stages and things you do look the same
I’m bummed actually. I hope the game sells well, it was on my radar from when I saw the announcement trailer a little while ago but I just don’t like wave-defense game modes.
Even though there might be other games out that get better reviews, I must say that I'm drawn to the beautiful high contrast visuals. It looks both familiar and fresh at the same time.
I thought this game looked interesting so I put it into my cart temporarily, which I would normally never do. Then, A couple days later I went to purchase vampire survivors and clicked through everything real quickly and realized I purchased this. Came here hoping I got a good one. Wish me luck! Is the Platinum difficult?
This game keeps messing up like crazy! It wont load up most if the time. I load up the game and it quits out. Then when it does load up, it just sits on a black screen with my user name up in the corner. I restarted my Xbox and it finally loaded, i played for like 30mins and then the game couldn't save. So i restarted the game only to get locked out again. I tried multiple times but it wouldn't load. I restarted my Xbox again and it loaded up but i couldn't load any if my saves. This game was a lot of fun. But i might have to just wait for an update to come along.
Tedious base building ? You mean when you simply go to a spot assign x amount of villagers and come back after doing your mission ? Yea super tedious not at all extremely simply.
Game looks fresh and I'm glad Capcom is trying new ideas, but I really feel like this isn't going to sell or be commercially successful. There has been little to zero hype and the trailers really don't do the game justice.
Beautiful game. Thank you Capcom for taking a risk hopefully more AAA developers still push new IPs.
they do, you just don't buy them

People say they want original games well here you go and its made by Capcom. You cannot go wrong here.
I really hope people buy this. It will be fristrating if it has the lukewarm reception of Hi Fi Rush or Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown...

@@Drstrange3000 well all of those games are just mediocre, nothing special about it imo.
8/10 is a great score for a game that did not get overhyped.
That’s cause nobody was really checking for it let’s be honest
Nobody in the west*
Probably must’ve got good hype and coverage in Japan.
No, it deserves more than that.
Currently so addicted to this game that I’m watching review videos to scratch that itch
Haha i'm addicted too hehe really nice and different game style it reminded me of GOBLIN COMMANDER for PS2.

Play for an one hour at Game Pass, quite fun game, the art is also pretty good
This is definitely a nostalgia for OKAMI fans
In art style only
They give you okami skins and music if you played it on xbox for example, they look so insanely good
If they ever made a 'Demon Slayer' game, I think I'd want it in this style, it's refreshing
There is a demon slayer gane, it's just yet another anime arena fighter
There is actually 2 Demon Slayer games currently available. The new one is a breath of fresh air that will have people crying because it's done different from the norm. I however absolutely love it...!!!
@@NaTaS6789Say1-b the board game?
Don’t bring your children animes into adult development processes
Ooohh that would be crazy
This looks really interesting! Capcom are really on the ball recently
this game really is interesting. it is colorful and vibrant just like the ps2 game Okāmi, another game by capcom

Really nice to see a fresh IP game from Capcom, especially one with such amazing art design. Would love to see more of these kinds of projects.

@@Joe-ti7qdliterally no one asked you
The gameplay loop sounds a bit similar to Sakuna of rice and ruin. I like it!
Capcom just cant miss. These guys know what playing games are about.
This makes me miss playing Okami 🥹
You can try game called Kena too. It’s pretty good
Hopefully we get a sequel or spiritual successor...one day
this game really remind me of okāmi with how vibrant and colorful the characters are.

Cleansing was so fun in Okami too. I'd love to see that series make a return at some point but I'm enjoying Kunitsu-Gami a lot.
Just played the first 2 hours and I'm liking it so far. I hope it sells well and the devs are rewarded for their creativity
Reminds me of Okami's art. Gorgeous as. Another cult Capcom classic.
Beautiful and fun game, Capcom proves once again that there is space for smaller and original games in modern gaming landscape!
It's rare that I think a game looks interesting these days, especially coming from a Triple A studio. Thank you for making me aware of this game.
Just Downloaded Flintlock: Seige Of Dawn & Dungeons Of Hinterberg On Gamespass & This Looks Like It’s Another To Download 🙈
Definetely the best month for gamepass in a while! Were eating good
lol
Eating good in the neighborhood!!
@gobbledygook5000How is it? Similar to Soma in atmosphere?
Same! I renewed gamepass to download specifically those 3 games 😂
I don't use gamepass to obtain free games, I paid full price like I always do and this game is worth every penny...!!!
Definitely sensing some Okami vibes im getting from this game I’m all for it
Since it’s a Capcom game, I will try it. I like the Okami style visual.
Looks amazing. More experimental smaller games by experienced devs please!

its a demo

I started craving a samurai game today and seen this on gamepass
Glad it's available on xbox game pass i'll try it out on my xbox series x.🥂😎
You mentioned it was reviewed on Xbox Series X, but there's quite clearly a steam achievement pop up from @2:39 , how does the game fair on PC?
plays great for me, Capcom has RE engine pretty optimized for PC.
@@Healthy_Toki yep, RE engine is well optimised even on an standard xbox one
I’ll say this; it sure is a pretty game that’s certain!
Honestly the videos do not do this game justice. I’ve really been enjoying it and the Okami set that came with it really hit me right in the nostalgia
This game made me put Elden ring aside! It’s a 9/10 for me.
Beat the game in 3 days and now I want more!
Played it for around 2 hours. 8/10 is a great score for this game. I would give it a 6.8 to 7. Dont know if it gets better but i got bored. It is to easy and the choices-strategy you can make with the villagers dont have any serious impact. Also the stages and things you do look the same
Feels like this started out as an Okami remake but quickly became its own thing instead.
I enjoy the smaller games Capcom put out over their larger titles.
its a bit odd but not in a bad way. its a good game, and im happy capcom allowed some creativity
The flashier sword trails look like migraine aura. That said, the ge looks cool.
Finally a game made with attention and love
I’m bummed actually. I hope the game sells well, it was on my radar from when I saw the announcement trailer a little while ago but I just don’t like wave-defense game modes.
I also never knew that this game was made in the past.
It’s a very beautiful game. Big win for me
Even though there might be other games out that get better reviews, I must say that I'm drawn to the beautiful high contrast visuals. It looks both familiar and fresh at the same time.
When is the release date and hope it's a physical game for all systems.
I finally played the demo this morning. And, I'm completely sold! The Okami influences absolutely hooked me instantly.
Loving this so far
Played this game it felt amazing
Looks good, but even on a demo I got bored. :(
"We want more original IP, games with AA budgets, original gameplay and more Japanese games!" ok here it is, you better buy it if you want more
I thought this game looked interesting so I put it into my cart temporarily, which I would normally never do.
Then, A couple days later I went to purchase vampire survivors and clicked through everything real quickly and realized I purchased this.
Came here hoping I got a good one.
Wish me luck!
Is the Platinum difficult?
So the games plot is basically Ghostwire: Tokyo but in ancient japan.
the art direction for this game looks absolutely incredible, im head over heels in love with this games look
Fun unique game. A pleasant surprise!
wow who made IGN the game reviewer
GameSpot is on top
Action tower defence game lol was not expecting that
This game keeps messing up like crazy! It wont load up most if the time. I load up the game and it quits out. Then when it does load up, it just sits on a black screen with my user name up in the corner.

Reminds me of Bjungai-Swordmaster
I like new ip thats actually sound design
yo our handler kinda bad tho ~
I miss Okami
Well done Capcom.
I'm interested in this game, but I have no idea what's going on
Why an I just now hearing about this game seems like it came out of nowhere 😭
They gave it a 8/10
Reminds me of Okami
Great Game wit awsome Atmo 👌👌👌
The game is beautiful
This looks decent and original
Tedious base building ? You mean when you simply go to a spot assign x amount of villagers and come back after doing your mission ? Yea super tedious not at all extremely simply.
Game looks fresh and I'm glad Capcom is trying new ideas, but I really feel like this isn't going to sell or be commercially successful. There has been little to zero hype and the trailers really don't do the game justice.
can i lock on a specific enemy somehow? thanks❤
Is this better played with controller or mnK?
The game is pretty good but kinda repetitive. I wish they focused more on story aspects too.
Just finished downloading this game on Xbox game pass. 8/10 score. Can’t wait to play it
the game looks great if you pull the brightness down following the first setting instruction. this video doesn't do the graphic justice.
