A solid souls-like. I'm a huge fan of the graphics. The game plays very well, very much like, once again, Dark Souls, in a 3/4 down view. Weapons take time to swing, there is a heavy emphasis on stamina and dodging. Much simpler with stats than DS, you just kind of spec the way you like, find your weapon, find your groove. I haven't completely finished the game yet, but I have played a pretty good chunk of it so far, and it's a good game overall. No regrets here.

I was drawn to Morbid: The Seven Acolytes by its dark, grotesque art style, which does a great job of setting a grim atmosphere.

[b]Story[/b] - The game follows the plot with the main protagonist with no name, known as the last surviving Striver of Dibrom, a warrior clan trained to hunt down and slay the Seven Acolytes, each possessed by evil deities known as Gahars. As a Striver, you journey to slay the 7 Acolytes. [b]Gameplay - Combat[/b] - The game is presented in a top-down 2D gameplay style, so you'll attack the enemies mostly diagonally or horizontally. The game has a weird weapon swinging animation that shows you where your weapons are supposed to hit, but in the end it doesn't. Disappointing. - It takes a lot getting used to with the player's hit detection system. The hit box of the weapon...
