While this certainly isn't an oblivion killer, it's definitely something born straight from my favorite games! Daggerfall had a baby with Bloodborne, then fell down one sick Alice in the Wonderland rabbit hole. I can't thank you enough for finding this game, it's absolutely wonderful. Here's to hoping the full release is even better.
@@prawngravy18 the enemies telegraph their attacks and you have to dodge out of the way for years like some kind of rhythm game: soulsbornevania genre confirmed 🤭
I know it sounds insane, but the primary reason I ever had this game on my radar is because I really like 1st Person games where your characters hands aren't rendered. Still can't believe that The Long Dark was RUINED by the curse known as "visible hand models".
Lol, haven't heard that take before. The game I'm working on doesn't have hand models either. But that's mostly due to limitations of scope/budget/etc.
Funny, I actually love to see my character's hands in first person, heck, even better when I can see my whole body! So we could say we're the opposite, cheers.
Honestly I can’t even play a game that doesn’t have a hand model or some item you’re holding, that’s why I always have the sword out in this game, nothing on the screen in first person makes me nauseous for some reason, sort of immediately get motion sick from it, but as soon as a weapon is in my hand I’m fine 🤔
I wish it had some dynamic lighting. It all looks fo flat. But it still looks interesting. So I've wish-listed it. Someday I see it in a steam sale for less than $5 and pick it up.
I loooooove this art style. I'm sad to hear that the gameplay has some issues, but hopefully they can work that out before it's finished and ready to go.
you’ve probably already heard of it but death trash is on my radar. played to the end of the story that’s available but it’s still in early access. pretty fun post apocalyptic isometric meaty rpg
I don't think there'd ever be an "Oblivion Killer" but this is definitely neat looking. I have had it on my wishlist for a bit, but your review sells me on it even more. I'll still wait for full release though.
Weird to talk about an Oblivion killer when the game is not relevant in that manner any longer, right? Skyrim is still getting released so I guess they need to kill that, Not Oblivion.
Shoutout to everyone that accidently used the "Return Home" spell and was forced to perform the walk of shame back to where you were. _Several times_ It NEEDS a unique casting animation.
This guy seems to have a very surface level opinion that anything with swords is oblivion and I’d assume he’s a zoomer so he hasn’t played morrowind or Daggerfall or kingsfield.
Bless you for giving such a professional review on an obscure steam game I was looking at! Very informative, and I'm thoroughly interested in it. Will wait for more content for now! Thanks for such a great review. subscribed, liked, favorited, shared with my friends on myspace!
@@EphiTV I think the reason SHOULD be that you want to, like all the rest of the optional content. Locking content behind levels you have to grind for is super icky and played out
Depends on the game. Sometimes you kill monsters for fun. Sometimes it's for rewards. Usually a bit of both. In most games they're an obstacle you have to deal with though.
crazy how people compare this to Oblivion and Morrowind, must have been playing different games than me. This is closer to Kings Field and other older PS1/2 dungeon crawlers.
They need to make combat actually a challenge. There is not a single enemy who is challenging. You can speed by every single person. Or just blast with spells and kill them. Its literally brain dead combat.
Yeah, the art style really sucked me in. It's not just "PS1" art, but it's cleverly segregated. The higher-res human faces really jump out at you. However, this is not a buy for me, currently, as it doesn't look like something that I will have fun playing.
Definitely closest to kingsfield but no idea where he gets oblivion from it’s still closer morrowind than tes 4 but I agree it’s still way closer to kingsfield than either of them
Please don't compare this to the elder scrolls, I love the elder scrolls, it is my favourite game franchise but dread delusion is something completely different and comparing it to a different franchise is doing it an injustice.
This game, like Morrowind, is cheeseable. If you do not like this and want a more restrictive gameplay and combat then this is not for you. You can cheese it or you don't have to, but I don't want them to work on advanced AI and combat mechanics. Simpler is better for games like this trying to imitate older RPGs.
It's not an oblivion killer and it doesn't seem to be meant to be. Trying to "Kill" another game by making a similar one is impossible. Getting players from the playerbase is much easier.

In what universe does this game have anything to do with bloodborne.

never heard of this one, thanks for covering it
Man, that run speed is crazy
Yeah, and it gets even faster too. This was only with 5ish agility.
The art style looks cool. I might play it if it releases on console one day. Thanks for sharing it!
I loooooove this art style. I'm sad to hear that the gameplay has some issues, but hopefully they can work that out before it's finished and ready to go.
Of all things, the graphics remind me of the N-Gage ES games. Will give it a check!
Cool game 😎👍

Yeah, the art looks neat. Might give it a try after early access.
Been playing it all week, what a game. F*cking love it, can't wait for Clockwork Kingdom.
I recommend following along to "The Wayward Realms" Is an Open-World RPG Being created by the developers who made Elder Scrolls II.
Hadn't heard of this before. Looks neat!
@@EphiTVKickstarter launches next week
Nice stuff, actually i really like your way of explaining stuff, good video

This game gives me cruelty squad vibes, excited for the full release, I found out it was part of haunted ps1 demo disc so that's cool
Well i hope so, the games almost as old as i am
Shoutout to everyone that accidently used the "Return Home" spell and was forced to perform the walk of shame back to where you were. _Several times_
It NEEDS a unique casting animation.
cool ideas, but the shaky textures give me a headache
I feel like if you set out to make the “___ killer” then you’ve already lost
kingdom come was nothing like oblivion

Underspace is another promising open world RPG in development with a small team that’s inspired by the classics that you should check out!

Shout out to Myspace Tom.
Looks very interesting, wish there was XP grinding tough :(
Yeah, some reason to actually fight the monsters would've been nice.
@@EphiTV I think the reason SHOULD be that you want to, like all the rest of the optional content. Locking content behind levels you have to grind for is super icky and played out

This is what Stockholm syndrome looks like.
it actually irritates me that you only barely acknowledge Morrowind and REFUSE to acknowledge Daggerfall
Never played Daggerfall, dunno if the dev has either. He's mentioned Morrowind as a big influence though.
@@EphiTV Daggerfall is the game that pioneered directional melee and it's also a good early example of procedural generation
This game reminds me more of oblivion combined with kingsfield
Oblivion Killer? This is the goddamn Shadowkey killer!
Reminds me of Might and Magic IX and older games.
gameplay is king and this does not have it moment to moment. But plenty of time for things to improve. Thingers crossed!
They added block/parry counter so melee is a bit better.
I think it's more fair to compare this game to King's Field. Since that's the main inspiration I feel for this title.
Have you ever tried dark messiah
Yeah, gotta love that super kick.
This seems more like Morrowind than Oblivion...
Not to say it probably wasn't a one of the inspirations, but still.
Oblivion was never a high bar....
See i dont think this game is trying to be oblivion. Its more foucsed on exploring and discovering rather then combat.
To me this game is less Oblivion and more King's Field, which is definitely not a bad thing
Yeah, the dev did mention KF as an inspiration alongside Elder Scrolls. Never played it myself though.
crazy how people compare this to Oblivion and Morrowind, must have been playing different games than me. This is closer to Kings Field and other older PS1/2 dungeon crawlers.
I see a bit of both. The devs have mentioned Morrowind and Oblivion being big influences though. Not sure if they've said similar about King's Field.
The emphasis you put on the 'O' in Oblivion irks me so much
Oblivion came out in 2006. How could an indie game nearly two decades later kill a game that came out so long ago?😅
Did you watch the video?
So the combat is unrewarding, simple and serves no purpose? So it IS Oblivion!
The xp system is terrible. Means burn through the already limited content to arrive at predetermined character point. Real bad idea.
Everybody has bought and finished Oblivion, so DD will be not be a killer. If anything, Dread Delusion has a Morrowind vibe!
It’s a lot closer to morrowind than oblivion
👌
They need to make combat actually a challenge. There is not a single enemy who is challenging. You can speed by every single person. Or just blast with spells and kill them. Its literally brain dead combat.
It's a fart-knock life boios
Oblivion gets killed every day again by morrowind. But this game is also great
have you played cruelty squad ?
Nope, heard a lot about it though.
Well if combat is pointless then it just gets in the way of gameplay. It is a walking simulator with optional combat at best.
Its not- you get tons of gold, potions and lockpicks from fighting and theres a few areas that only open up if you kill the enemy guarding it.
@@WelcomeToDERPLAND sounds more like gatekeeping for the sake of not letting players go where they want.

This game is FAR more reminiscent of Kings Field, than Morrowind or Oblivion.
Definitely closest to kingsfield but no idea where he gets oblivion from it’s still closer morrowind than tes 4 but I agree it’s still way closer to kingsfield than either of them
@@TheVioletBunny he probably never heard about morrowind
Its not reminiscent of KF in any way. This is an obvious homage to early 00s Scrolls games but with a more stylized retro pixelation to the graphics.
I didn't like it.. I absolutely hated that they forced you to stealth in the beginning
I don't think they forced you to, it was just suggested for the tutorial. You can easily run past enemies anyways.
Nice (=
Please don't compare this to the elder scrolls, I love the elder scrolls, it is my favourite game franchise but dread delusion is something completely different and comparing it to a different franchise is doing it an injustice.
its next-Morrowind !! Not next-Oblivion !!
Morrowind was just different 😋
Apparently Oh-blivion invented the genre. 😂

The way you pronounce Oblivion is appalling.

Morrowind was better in almost every aspect. The worst thing is that console kiddies cant into reading.
True!
Might want to brush up on your spelling
