DARK ESSENCE

Amazing!

Pretty cool! But I feel like it's a bit too dark and hard to see.

Nice work

Great

Praise the sun

I give this an 8/10. I loved the world and story. The only real complaint I had was that the combat. Heavy attack would go through enemies, locking on enemies would turn the character around, and it didn't feel like the enemies were worth fighting so I...

Camera and character speed needs tweaking.

Great! This is a 8.3/10 for me! Great story and worldbuilding. Enemies are great: easy to fight but 1 wrong move you're dead, good! Combat is great! Shadows are the biggest complaint for me, being too dark to see where you're going. Otherwise, great job!

While this is a pretty impressive showcase for one person, a bit of polish and number tweaking could really improve the game, faster and more responsive animations, some hit/hurtbox tweaking and etc. Plus the camera is unwieldy when focusing on enemies

great

Really cool! Inventory system and menu systems are top notch!!

Absolutely incredible

This magnificent game keeps me away from getting hollow while waiting for Elden Ring

Ok I figured out what I did wrong and got it to work easy peasy. My biggest complaint is that sometimes your attacks can go right thru the enemy especially if they are really close. However I had lots of fun and it felt sooo much like a Souls-esque game!

Ive put in around 10 hours. Huge game with fun progression, it kept me playing and coming back. Unfortunately the basics lack polish. Rolling/dodge are unreliable to use, bosses have unreliable hitboxes and controls are slightly too sluggish. Solid 8/10

So incredible! I definitely felt the Essence of Dark (souls).

Perfect

What to say? Dark Essence is a long, tiring journey. This took me 17 hours; I'm 1 of 11 to make the credits roll. The combat is in a constant fight between dreadful and tight. If you can accept that? This is an adventure you shouldn't miss. [Continued...]

Idk if it's just ps4 performance or intentional sluggish to capture the feel of Dark Souls, but if intentional it's a bit too slow and unresponsive. It's basically indie, no budget Dark Souls, but not in a bad way. It's pretty well made and it's one of

The environments are quite nice but the gameplay is beyond frustrating. I can commend the game for being a complete experience but I can't say it's a consistently enjoyable experience.

Awesome lvl design, creative reuse of assets, interesting lore. Combat's clunky tho (atks often dont connect w/ foe even tho they touch the model; foe's single atks multi-hit often; physix make movement janky & bosses vry cheesable). Great game othrwise!!

why do you even play demon souls while we have Dark Essence, great work.

i love the details, seems like you spend lots of time creating it, but then dreams game mechanics doesn't work for ds games, i mean as soon u find the first tree, the enemy downstairs has no hit box, i swing the sword, hit him but enemy doesn't take dmg!
