    Reading the feedback for this one, and it looks like I may have messed up.
    I have changed the title from "Reddit's Favorite RPG" to the current title, so if anyone's confused on the comments regarding Reddit, that's why. The original title only reflects one small gag I made in the middle of the video, and isn't indicative of the entire game experience.
    I don't mean to dissuade anyone from this game by associating it with a forum site that's memed on for having a toxic subculture. Just a distasteful joke that missed the mark on my part. My apologies.
    Do check out the game though. It's a great game and has no actual affiliations with Reddit, lol.

    Ken Levine said it best: games that try to be too realistic age the worst. A definitive art style is what keeps a game timeless visually

      Levine can go fuck himself since I love the style of Death Stranding, Alan Wake, Control and the Read Dead series. Realistic style AND stylistic games can co-exist Jesus Christ.

    I lost my save to a wipe when 1.0 released. I had like 50 hours and was fully geared. Purposely hadn't finished. I came back and started another save. It's changed so much that it feels like a new game. Dread Delusion needs to be experienced to be understood. It's a such a surreal trip that it makes me feel like I was drugged, but in a good way.

    "You don't even have visible hands holding onto your sword. Buuut this is reminiscent of King's Field"
    I'm not sure where you pulled this out from or why. King's Field clearly models your entire arm when you swing your sword, regardless of if you're looking at the first KF game or the last one.

    I kept hearing how much this game was like Morrowind so I decided to give it a try. Good game so far, but honestly it's more like KingsField than anything, you can't even properly loot corpses (to be fair, it seems the last game the devil made DIRECTLY sites King's Field as an inspiration so...)

      It has the same tone and atmosphere as Morrowind, and not just cause the giant mushrooms lol. I was constantly reminded of Morrowind when I was playing. It's just got the same curious exploration feel to it, coupled with the weird alien environments and god killing lore.

    I was really hyped for dread delusion and while I do still plan to finish it I started it after finishing lunacid and I just think that lunacid is just a better experience to me.
    Lunacid gives you a ton of build options while dread delusion feels a bit too restrictive. (funnily enough if dread delusion had the simple lunacid "level this to run faster" stat it would be more beneficial there because it has so much terrain to cover.)
    It isn't a bad game and the vibes of the game world are perfection. My main issue is that there is just no real threat to the player, nothing you face is actually dangerous at all even though you move slower than you do in lunacid.
    also it is completely a nitpick but I feel like since there is a weapon drawing animation there should be a weapon sheathing animation and button.

    I'd also recommend Lunacid and Brigand: Oaxaca! They're great little additions to that "low fidelity RPG" shelf.
    Edit: So for everyone lost, the title before it was changed was something like "Dread Delusion: Reddit's Favorite RPG." Hence all the comments about Reddit.

    I absolutely adore this game. It captures that ps1 wonder I miss of being in a low poly bizarre Dreamworld without the physical pain of ps1 first person controls and framerates. For what is worth, combat is a tad easy, but the dev knows and has a harder difficulty in the works.

    My favorite thigns about this game are that it's very obviously completely unfinished and that it's got zero difficulty and you can easily solo the entire game with the starting weapon and no skill points spent because the AI is non existent and the enemy design is bottom barrel.
    But at least it has lots of faag.... Diversity.
