Whopping new Crimson Desert video sharpens suspicion that it's a really shonky Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

When I archetypal played Crimson Desert I had occupation moving retired what it wanted to beryllium – Spider-Man? The Witcher? Dynasty Warriors? Dragon’s Dogma? Jedi Academy? The archetypal of 3 caller talkthrough videos from developers Pearl Abyss has helped ore the crippled successful my mind. This is simply a grittier medieval phantasy instrumentality connected The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, isn’t it! Those airborne ruins are a dormant giveaway. All it’s missing is the elegance and feeling of completeness. OK, it doesn’t person a magic conveyance editor, either. That I cognize about. Without further ado, here’s the video.

Crimson Desert looks madder than a catful of hatters. If you’re wondering wherefore main feline Kliff Macduff walks successful specified a weirdly jerky way, similar a toddler connected springs, it’s astir apt due to the fact that he’s trying to restrain the compressed energies of each unfastened satellite mechanic ever devised. He tin grapple. He tin mech pilot. He tin propulsion barrels and bash wrestling moves. He tin fish.

I don’t mean this arsenic criticism, though I don’t wholly mean it arsenic praise, either. I powerfully fishy that this crippled is going to beryllium a triumphant operation of mechanically silly and tonally self-serious and savagely breached successful a mode that someway demands to beryllium experienced for tens of hours.

In watching the video, you are sparing yourself the derangement of mastering Crimson Desert’s power scheme, assuming they haven’t revised it since I played the crippled past year. I got thrown successful the heavy extremity with that preview, asked to marque consciousness of a midgame Kliff with a multitude of clashing abilities to take from, portion fending disconnected the hydra of jetlag.

I spent a batch of my demo either caterpaulting Kliff Macduff into holes, oregon confusing Kliff Macduff with each the radical sidesplitting Kliff Macduff, oregon plaintively asking the PR to explicate wherefore Kliff Macduff is connected occurrence now. The brag QTEs are similar thing retired of the archetypal Steel Battallion. You volition beg for the saccharine alleviation of a Bennett Foddy game. Anyway, Crimson Desert is retired connected March 19th this year.
