Current Events > Anyone on CE playing the Alabaster Dawn(game by Crosscode devs) demo?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's apparently out now, but I'm too weak to enjoy it which is making me rather sad. I just got Covid for the first time this week.

Bumping this because I'm feeling alive enough to play video games again. Will update this topic with my thoughts later.

Hmm, never heard of it. Looks kinda fun, though.

Finished the demo earlier, which included the start of the game and then a skip to presumably the first Dungeon since it was so short and you got an element like in a Temple in Crosscode. I don't like that some of the puzzles required one specific ranged weapon because I can only imagine that's gonna get annoying later on when there are even more ranged weapons, so I'd have to redo my loadout just for puzzles.

Combat feels very similar to Crosscode, only with different melee and ranged weapons which have their own little combo's to do. The elemental moves were weapon-agnostic though and you were equipped with a melee and ranged one of the first element. I don't like that every weapon has its own little tree though just because I liked the way Crosscode's big tree worked. I trust this dev though and will let them cook.

Plot wise I can't say I care much for just yet, but then I didn't get too into the plot of Crosscode until like right before Vermillion Wasteland.
