Shikari Rising Reviews

Better prepare yourselves to die! Shikari is tagged as "souls-like" and although I have only played a few of the Dark Souls games, this is the first game in the "souls-like" category in this graphical look that I have played. You had better keep your focus here as one too many wrong moves and you will die, enemies in groups are brutal and some lone enemies are quite formidable, and bosses hit heavy and can hold their own no problem. This is in early access and although I have not made the best progress over 12ish hours in game....the current development of Shikari Rising as it is now seems very stable, I have had no crashes, no bugs big enough that I have noticed to alert me, minor things that with time could be sorted out "looking below" is the only action that does not seem to do anything for now or yet, but that is not game breaking at all, and there is quite a bit to enjoy here for a early access game, despite a lot of dying, I am enjoying the game! You definitely need some patience if you are not used to dying in games often, and quite often for some:) Does steam not have seals of approval, like a prepare to die sticker/tag for tough games like this? I think it deserves one and should be at least checked out by all those heavily in to their souls-like games. Happy gaming!

Both the visuals/animations and music of Shikari Rising are already really lovely. As a fan of monsters, I love their design. I'm not too good at these kinda games, and still need to practice more, but I'm enjoying it a lot; it's very fun and quite difficult. I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a challenge. :) I've also encountered no bugs so far, and that's a huge plus.

Old mechanics, simple animations, not much foe variety, but bought it discounted, so I'll explore. But. Looong stretch with no saves, find a Boss "am I prepared to fight such a monster?" asks the hero, well, it kills you dead with 1 touch. Reload all that long way back. No thanks, not that patient, but maybe you are. Uninstalled, maybe I'll try again in the future, maybe not. So I leave it to you to decide.
