Picked up the Collectors Edition of Phantom Blade 0 from China. It doesn't come with the game though so also really keen to get the disc from you guys if are importing it. Game gives me Bujingai/Blood Will Tell vibes. The statue in the CE is stunning so I couldn't resist lol

@Tea I don't mind the shipping fee, as the shipping cost isn't even high in my opinion

@vector - we are investigating a courier solution for customers that order frequently. We unfortuanetly are a smaller indepedent company and as such we cant always amortise costs like the larger guys. Working on it though

If you haven't tried it, Mortal Shell 2 has an open beta you can download and try. I liked it a lot as well

Beast Of Reincarnation is very easy. I'm playing on hard mode and honestly, that feels more like normal to me. Normal and Story mode are laughably easy. Even a person in a vegetative state will be able to play it on those modes.

But I think even if you play on the lower difficulties, the combat and the world traversal is still awesome.

29 Days to Onimusha as well :-D

This conversation below is interesting, I dont know whether I should now go for Mortal Shell 2 which is showing some potential here or Beast of Reincarnation

I suck at soul games so leaning more towards Beast of Reincarnation which I heard is more forgiving....

@Tea

I think the 1st area of Best Of Reincarnation ruins the opening of the game. It's rather dull and seems generic. But at the end of the first chapter and some story things happen, then the game actually gets going. And the later areas are actually quite nice.

I like the combat as well and the traversal mechanics are awesome as well. Just like in Sekiro

@IkariX - you know we have actually had good feedback from customers on the game!

I know its not a 10/10 but seems to be a great experience!

Bloodborne Reimagined as a Zelda-Like 16-Bit Game - Download it For Free

by Sam Aberdeen on 20 July, 2020

The idea of a "demake" is an interesting concept, as it means the complete opposite of remaking a game with upgraded visuals and mechanics - instead, some creative fans will often purposefully downgrade a game so that it matches a specific style. In this case, one fan of From Software's best-selling dark fantasy RPG, Bloodborne, decided to "demake" or reimagine the game as a Zelda-like 16-bit RPG. The results are pretty spectacular and charming in all the right ways.

Max Mraz, who is best known as the indie developer behind Ocean's Heart, recently developed a short Bloodborne-inspired project called Yarntown. The game takes the blueprints of Bloodborne, including its setting, mechanics, and features, and flips the world design and gameplay perspective into a Zelda-influenced top-down adventure title. Yarntown specifically adapts the Central Yharnam portion of the game, ending with the boss battle against the Cleric Beast. If you want to get a better idea of how this plays, check out the gameplay demonstration video below:



Best of all, you'll be able to download Yarntown free right now on Itch.io, simply head to this download link.

Bloodborne was originally released in March 2015 to critical and commercial acclaim, being one of the first big PlayStation 4 exclusives to garner Sony's console praise and, subsequently, lead to a small spike in sales. Shying away from Dark Souls while still retaining several familiar mechanics, Bloodborne chose to take a more visceral, fast-paced approach to its action and completely removed the block button as a result. A lot of focus was put on fast dodging and parrying, making it one of the developer's most challenging games yet.

Yarntown is now available for free on PC.
