Davyria: Heroes of Eternity

Don't buy this game yet, Unless you intend to help fund this project. It's pretty bad. The game took almost all of it's inspiration for Dark souls, but failed to get any level of complexity into the game. It feels like Lords of the Fallen, except top down, even more sluggish controls, and no variation on combat or tactics. Just step back, wait for the enemy to attack thin air, step in and score a hit. Rinse and repeat. However, as I said at the beginning, don't buy YET. If the developer continues working on this game, then I will probably return to it. More combat depth, faster response times, wider variation of options in character development (and the menus...very restricted at the momemnt.) So ya, It needs a lot of work. All that being said, the last update was 03/26/17, so the developer is still active! Which is good to know. Please keep working on the game. I will keep an eye out for the updates. (Holy shit, as of 7-27-17 I have the only negative review? =/ Hmm...ma...

This game is a distilled version of my personal favorite parts of the Dark Souls series. Here is a series of questions you can ask yourself before buying this game: When playing Dark Souls, do you tend to only use R1 attacks? Do you think it's important to be punished for being greedy with your attacks and punished for spamming R1? Do you love i-frames and that satisfying feeling of rolling into an enemy attack to get perfect placement to land a hit before dodging out of the way again? Do you avoid magic and only use melee weapons because you like your combat close and personal? Is the best part of Dark Souls learning enemy patterns and reacting to them? Is the only item you use the Estus Flask when playing Dark Souls? Do other items detract from what you consider the core gameplay of Dark Souls? If you answered yes to these, Davyria is likely going to be a winner for you. This is a very pure little game and I hope to see more from the developer in this style.

I'm finding Davyria better than I anticipated, going into the game loving Miyazaki's Souls formula. Pros - Challenging Fair hit boxes Great boss battles Variety of weapon types Rewarding Cons - Sound design & UI is lacking I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Souls or challenging games. I very much like that the developer is working to improve and add more into the game!

If you want isometric Souls-like this is a decent interpretation of that. Its more simplistic than Dark Souls but carries over the core aspects like being not spamming attacks or roll, or that that feeling of perfectly rolling threw an enemies attack due to I-Frames. The RPG aspects are also more simplistic and the story is very minimal. For how cheap it is I'd recommend it if you're itching for a quick fix of some Souls.

Pros: - Challenging Gameplay - Character & Level Designs - Sound/Music - Lore (Minimal, but pretty good) - Boss Battles (But Niak can f**k right off with his stupid spamming tiny flame balls lol) Cons: - Story (that ending tiss tiss) - UI (Its Functional but lacking) Mixed: - Hit Boxes (For the most part the hit boxes work perfectly, but it is defiantly noticeable when they don’t) - [strike]Shield and[/strike] Running Lag (Maybe by design but the half second I have to wait to [strike]put my shield up or[/strike] run is quite a long time in the midst of combat) In the end I would give this game an 8/10. It’s a great game if you’re looking for a challenging souls inspired title.

It took quite a while to get into the game, but i enjoyed every second! I bought it because i wanted to try out some "souls-like" games, and i had so much fun to learn enemy movement and attackpatterns, that i can just really recommend this! Great game, some bugs...but still very enjoyable!

No key bindings customization which is a huge thumbs down from me. The game takes inspiration on the souls games but plays like LofT, slow and clunky. The gameplay has no depth. Monsters deal way too much damage and add that to the fact that you only have 3 heals plus consumables and the dodge is a bit unresponsive, you can't play a bit more aggressive, you have to play in a most boring way.

Good, solid game. I really enjoyed it. About 10 hours long to fully complete it. I think that it better fits for souls-like fans. Any souls fan will feel right at home. It's a top down souls-like game with somewhat simple structure,art direction, level design, etc and low production values, with a very well done combat system and nice bosses that are progressively more and more challenging but always fair. I played the game on a laptop. My specs -intel i3 2330M -intel HD Graphics 3000 -3 GB DDR3 memory The game is ok on low settings and completely playable. I had a few crashes because of overheating but nothing to worry about. Also, sometimes the game messed up the colors on my screen. I don't really know if this problem was because of my low specs or the game itself. Nevermind, a restart fixes this issue. pros -great combat, fair hit boxes -challenging and fair -good pacing, fights and bosses are progressively more challenging -great bosses -solid, tight, responsive controls (I pl...

- No Ultrakiller - WTF was that ending - Red cape knights are cancer - No Ultrakiller - No NG+ - Leveling is slow for a "SOULS LIKE" - No F***ing Ultrakiller Buy on sale, level agility, most people should not bye this though. I am glad I did because the combat is for the most part really fair, simple but fair. There are a bunch of weapons, scaling is sh*t though. I don't know.

Overall: The overall game is really fun. There are some hard passages, at least for me as a Newbie in this sort of games. It's roughly like Dark Souls but of course with a limited extent considering the price. Graphics: I really like the cell-shading style of the game. There are far too few games which are using this. It reminds me of Zelda Wind Waker which I loved for the style. Gameplay: Using the controller was no problem, so the movement etc. was really smooth. However you need an input maper if you want to use the controller. I enjoyed playing around with different weapon styles. Maybe there will be more weapons in future updates.
