Darkest Path is a 2.5D action roguelike FPS inspired by the grim world of #Berserk and the unforgiving atmosphere of #FearAndHunger. 🩸

@DudeFromPost Interestingly, we heard about the game for the first time. But there are definitely similarities; we'll check it out at some point.

I think our sword attacks finally started to feel like they’re actually cutting through the air.

Just blood effects, camera effects, animation using a single sprite, knockback, hitstop, and a bit of air distortion. Nothing too complicated.

Darkest Path passed 1000 wishlists on Steam!

This happened right after yesterday’s sword strike clip, so thank you so much to everyone who checked out the game, shared it, or added it to their wishlist.
We posted a small update in replies.

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@dkharms_ The hitstop effect might feel a bit too long; we'll take another look at adjusting it.

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@aXelis_gamedev Yeah, it needs a bit more of polish. It’s a bit hard to adjust since we’re doing it all by simply changing the size, rotation, and position of a single image. Still, we’ve made good progress compared to the old version in the trailer.

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@Vasulevus The full release will come to Steam first, but we plan to quickly launch on other platforms and even consoles afterward!

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@asapin_dv Yeah, the whole point of the crosshair is to show you the enemies you can attack. You're right about the bat; that part needs a bit more polish.

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@a42games Actually, animation speed is entirely dependent on the attack speed stat.

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

It finally has enough "game juice" to deliver a satisfying combat feel. Do you think it's sufficient? What else would you add?

@IndieReachpro We're making the kind of dark fantasy game we kept wishing existed.
Not saying we nailed it.
But it’s getting close

@playerdotgg It's still under development, so this is the most we can show for now 😅

[Darkest Path @DarkestPath2]

@Launch_Forge4 sure!

@Aereotalpa314 We're making the kind of dark fantasy game I kept wishing existed.
Not saying I nailed it. But it’s getting dangerously close.

The demo is very close and we've almost finished the interfaces.
