Crimson Capes

Hello everyone today I wanna take you on my epically failed adventure but first huge thank you to Poor Locke for sending me the key its greatly appreciated.

Crimson Capes is a story of betrayal as the witches of the kingdom have turned against the king and its up to your group the crimson Capes to destroy the traitors and bring justice to the kingdom.

You hunt down witches and monsters while exploring a 2D fantasy world of swords and sorcery in a pixel art format.

Your guild the crimson Capes leads the charge in this hunt there’s 4 members to the guild but you take control of there leader the game offers online Co op which I wasnt able to test out as well I didnt have anyone else that had access to the game and for a souls game the fact this has native Co op is pretty cool but im sure the difficulty increases as well.

Within the first 10 minutes you encounter a necromancer boss fight which is a 2 stage battle thankfully I was able to beat him or I wouldnt have been able to progress at the games bonfire which is a patch of blue flowers you get to level up and check things out one being the map yes a souls game with a map thank you and its a big map plenty to explore and do.

Now I did explore in my time playing I encountered 5 bosses but only able to defeat 2 of them the one boss which was part of a mission I couldn’t attack at all literally from the minute the fight start hes charging you and doesn’t let you breath worse the game doesn’t have a dodge roll you can only parry attacks and even that is an issue when the enemy is able to just keep attacking you.

Now im not a souls gamer I never liked the genre but I do my best to try the games out and give them a fair chance but the boss battles in this game aren’t even close to being fair so if your a fan of the souls genre jump in pick the game up im sure you will get further then me fights aside the game is beautiful and has an interesting story that actually made me wanna know more but when a boss kills me within 3 seconds of our fight starting im not wasting my time anymore thank you all and game on
