this is, personally, why it gets my dander up anytime some "game critique" youtuber says something like "the souls formula was meant for 1 on 1 duels, not groups"

like, yeah, and that's what makes encounters with multiple opponents INTERESTING, especially if theyre asymmetrical in their design

Part of the reason I never take any non-From soulslikes seriously is because I feel like, by copying the mechanical trapping of the games in full (and worse, ""building"" on them), you're kinda signaling to me that you don't know the games aren't about player mechanics, but enemy placement.

floor 4 fuck. whatever

my official tier list as of floor 3

i get that it's frustrating that your work is seen as not artistically valid but well. mobile gaming mostly isn't lol
