So what's the scoop on Code Vein
Onigashima
is it, like...
Onigashima
good
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
having heard secondhand from a friend: yes
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
intensely anime souls is, by his and most other accounts i have heard, pretty good
izzy.vrm
It's good
izzy.vrm
I think you'd dig it
Onigashima
how's the difficulty
izzy.vrm
easier than a mainline souls but not unchallenging
izzy.vrm
much easier versatility of builds
izzy.vrm
you can basically change and customize your class on the fly
Onigashima
how's the AI partner stuff
izzy.vrm
besides repetitive voice lines after a while, it's solid
izzy.vrm
each partner has different tactics based on their personal build
izzy.vrm
but it's a large part as to why it's more forgiving because you can revive your partner by sacrificing health and vice versa
Onigashima
huh
Onigashima
how does healing work? estus equivalent?
izzy.vrm
I'm mobile but I can gab about it in more detail in a sec
izzy.vrm
Yeah
izzy.vrm
estus main plus a limited life crystal stock
izzy.vrm
ok i'm back at a keyboard and can answer any questions you'd like to have be answered
Onigashima
I think that's it, more or less
Onigashima
custom protag and set companions?
izzy.vrm
yeah. you can freely switch between companions as you gather them up at your home base
izzy.vrm
each one of them has a set weapon and spell loadout, and the knowledge to use what they've got fairly compitently
Onigashima
I assume there's no difficulty customization, since Miyazaki tricked game designers into thinking that the absence of difficulty options is a good thing
izzy.vrm
not really, no.
izzy.vrm
the actual "difficulty selection" is "are you playing with a partner or not"
