Tides of Annihilation Boasts Four Weapon Types, Dozens of Bosses, Over 30 Hours of Playtime

Don't target the "Western audience" too much 😉

Game looks great. It’s a blessing we have eastern devs stepping up while western devs destroy themselves

I'm a sucker for all things knight related, so this is up my alley. I'm also a huge fan of the King Arthur mythos/lore, so when I heard this was taking inspiration from those stories, I was one million percent one board!

@Reform How can you not target a modern audience? Do Chinese devs target people born in 1745?

I'm really looking forwards to this. I'm really looking forwards to kazan next month too as I loved the demo. I need more games like this.

Targeting a western audience sounds very alarming.

@nessisonett
I think he was using a kind euphemism

@Reform I’m sure @get2sammyb can confirm that unless what you’re meaning to say is a thinly-veiled attack on minorities then any such comment would be left well alone. But that couldn’t possibly be the case, right?

30 hours of playing time is pretty long for character action games.

Any type of pure, over the top character-action is going to get me interested. Of course more info about the story is still needed and a demo would definitely be nice. This is a new IP and not enough was shown for it to shoot to the top of my most-wanted list with known quantities such as Ninja Gaiden, Monster Hunter and Like a Dragon.

I didn't really like the art? It's kinda similar to an issue I had with Stellar Blade (an 8/10 for the combat). It is all pretty without any actual "design" or "style".

This is something I think Clair Obscur, Metal Eden and Hell is Us had.

The more I hear and see about this game the more interested I get. The long wait until (presumably) 2026 will be hard for this one.

I can only stomach so many Action-RPGs a year. I'll see when the mood strikes, but the game looks fun so far.

Game looks fantastic, I’m guessing it’s a 2026 release. Cant wait to see more

@Northern_munkey that demo was pretty hefty and definitely wanted more after competing it. Ran pretty sweet on handheld PC also!

@PuppetMaster Play time imo implies with side content.

@Gamer83 did you check out the 11 minute gameplay the day after reveal?

@PCPS4XB yeah possibly with secrets or collectibles that requires multiple playthrough

For sure the game that caught more of my atention. people should be more enthusiast with a game like this. I will play it for sure!!

I thought that was Melina from elden ring😅😅

@ATaco exactly! The reason I loved wukong so much is because of the Chinese legend setting and lore.

@PCPS4XB
Didn't know they had one. Gotta be honest, been busy at work so haven't checked as much gaming news as I usually do.

Yeah I hear ya! I was a bit late on it also but it was definitely a nice video that got me more interested.

@Dodoo I think you completely missed ATaco’s point. But that’s a good thing. Because you likely don’t think like he does.

As long as this is not another Souls like game, then I am all in when it comes out. I am sick of all the beautiful and fun looking games that come out but I will never play them because they are Souls like.

@AhmadSumadi oops was having a blonde moment 😂

East have to make a game for westerners because they've seen all the flops and feel bad, they saw the likes of Indiana jones, dustborn, suicide squad, failguard , concord and see people in need of actual decent games that feel like games and not lectures with outdated mechanics and help systems that treat people like children for example that disgrace to dead rising demaster.

@PCPS4XB indeed it was quite generous for a demo. The ps5 version has a few dips here and there but nothing too distracting so I'm eagerly awaiting kazan March release.

@Northern_munkey agreed, I've tried it on the Pro and it was flawless. But due to my backlog, Khazan will mostly be played on my ROG Ally on my looooong breaks at work lol.

This is Givin some nice ff16 vibes especially the character who transforms into a Phoenix

4 weapon types, what is this Bayonetta/God of War of old design. I mean sure.... if they are scaled well fine like Darksiders 1 leveling it up the whole adventure.

Setting is fine, to me the game design has to land or I don't care what mythology, angels and demons, King Arthur, whatever or otherwise it's about. The game has to land and DMC5/Bayonetta 3 dual characters controlled like garbage let alone 3's ideas were so boring. Besides the 2D other character parts which were better. It was like preferring Clank to Ratchet the side areas were better then the main characters/more going on parts of these games. That's not a good thing.

I enjoy hack n slashes but they have to balance their weapons/enemies as that's the core of the game and it's noticeable, very noticeable. That and level design that's overdone but in a satisfying way to be silly/epic.

30 hours eh. I prefer 20, less filler. More bosses, eh they better not be mini bosses or bland attack patterns or filler with so few enemy types I hate that.
