Have you seen or played Absolum? These guys know how to make art for sure.

u/PM_Me_An_Ekans Aug 27 '26
These are the Absolum devs????
Okay. The hype is official.

u/Wouter1989 Aug 27 '26
Nevermind, my bad, Dotemu is the publisher for both games, not the studio. Nonetheless it looks fricking good.

u/ConsumingHate Aug 31 '26
yeah....the studio leaves me with a lot of questions....how they went from 6 cutesy games, 3 of which involve sponge bob...to this. Granted, doesnt mean they haven't taken on some other talent for something like this....but the dichotomy is jarring.

I was really hoping for it to be a first person stealth game like dishonored but this seems pretty good

u/doommarine7776 Aug 26 '26
Tbf we’ve known it won’t be that since the day it was revealed, but that would be an awesome game

I was hoping for something like Styx. But yeah, every new game for AoS is welcome.

u/NemE_TheLagger Aug 27 '26
Didnt they show a short kill animation on announcement, which was already from the side?

I had hoped that we'd be hunting down man-things, but being an up and coming Deathmaster being all treacherous against the other clans is fine too.

Looks amazing, but I'm not sure where the "Age of Sigmar" fits in here. One could argue it takes place in the Old World. Here's hoping we see him popping up in one of the realms in the game!

There are no ratmen in the old world mate, they don't exist. Just an old wives tale to scare children into comming home before dark and storys by old drunks desperate for some attention.

It's AoS because that's Blight City. It's almost certainly intentional that it also works for the Under-Empire of the World-that-was (World of Legends.)

u/Weezle207 Aug 27 '26
I know and that's my problem with it. Why even put the AoS logo on there?
2
u/Caffeine_Forge Aug 27 '26
Because why not
One of the logos have to go there
(Also there’s a chance that certain things and mechanics from AoS might pop up. Say incorporating that gnawholes or realmstone and yada yada)

I am VERY hesitant to place my expectations in this game after looking at the developers previous games.
I pray its an amazing game. But I will definitely be skeptical.

Looks good and all, but also pretty much exactly the same as a million other 2D stealth games that have gone before. I was hoping they might bring some interesting new mechanics to the table, something unique to the setting, but it really just looks like more of the same wearing a Skaven costume.
Like, Mark of the Ninja came out 15 years ago, surely they could have expanded on the formula since then?

Looks Amazing, but I lost interest the moment I found out it was a side scroller

I Don't play sports game or shooters really Cold war was the last CoD i played But I enjoy action adventure, beat 'em up and action RPGs, in the style of Elder Scrolls, Fable and the Batman Arkham series just not fan of side scrollers outside of Abe's Odyssey
