Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

@mbun
Well that kinda sucks, although if they balance it out by giving each character multiple weapon styles that might lessen the sting a bit.
-
@dmcmaster Mind you, that's still speculation on my part. They haven't said that. There's hints the King of Hyrule might be playable, which is what I want.

@mbun
I have a feeling the king will be playable too, mostly because the idea of a scene with the King armored up and making one last stand against Gannon while Link an Zelda flee the castle seems too cool not to have.

New trailer just hit.

The game keeps looking better and better, it's exactly what I crave these days: a fun, "basic" hack-and-slash in the amazing world of Breath of the Wild, I can't wait for it.
Considering that I probably won't manage to get a PS5 this year, it could very well be my game of the holidays (although I won't really be getting any holidays...)

Demo available now! Contains chapter 1, and you can transfer your progress to the full game.
-
@axel
So theoretically you can start the game with level 99 characters

My thoughts on the demo after one battle:
- I'm liking how they implemented the gameplay in the musou hack 'n slash.
- I really like playing as Impa. Her normal, charge attacks, musou special and fierry rush. Love em all.
- Easy 1300 KOs.
This is totally a game I can see myself spending 100+ hours on. A prequel to a game I already like? Pre-ordered in a heartbeat <3
-
Just a warning but the game has leaked and Spoilers are getting out
-
@dmcmaster Like significant ones? The idea of a musou game with actual story seems very strange to me.
-
@e_zed_eh_intern
Story, Roster, 2 celebrity guest in the English dub cast (bravo on keeping that hidden this long) stages, weapons. Everything.
-
@dmcmaster Thanks for the heads-up!

@yoshi Heard that thing is spoiler laden, so no thank you

Has anyone picked it up?
I started playing it yesterday, enjoying it a lot! It's my first musou but it feels like exactly what I need right now: a "mindless" action game that's just pure fun and power fantasy, in a world I love.
Playing this co-op with my girlfriend, the framerate is noticeably atrocious at times, but somehow it doesn't impact the gameplay, since the biggest drops are caused by special attacks where input isn't required anymore, and it just feels like a slow-mo effect.
Split-screen does make the action harder to read at times though.
It's very easy right now (I may be wrong, but I don't think the game is balanced differently in co-op, so obviously doing twice the damage helps), but I'm sure there will be enough endgame challenges to keep me busy for a while.
-
@axel Keep in mind that Normal is basically Easy and Hard is basically Normal. I was enjoying Very Hard in the demo for the challenge, but it clearly later on results in enemies becoming ridiculous damage sponges in an annoying way unfortunately.
-
@mbun Good to know thanks, maybe I'll boost it to Hard and see what happens!
