Stellar Blade - Stalker Boss (No Damage)
#stellarblade #soulslike #eve
This game previously known as project eve popped up on my radar recently. I tangentially was aware of it but didn’t take it too seriously as it looked like it was just fan service game showing boobs and butts. I like boobs and butts but thought this was going to be in the vein of a leisure suit larry. The demo came out and I love demos especially in the PlayStation 3 era. I was pleasantly surprised by the demo and found I was very wrong for the leisure suit larry comparison. Not completely though, I admit I played with the skin suit for a bit (https://x.com/danielrayblog/status/17...) and the jiggle physics on her ahem “assets” kinda crazy. Tomb raider / Lara Croft legacy lives on. Shout out to Tachy too.
It is one of the games that focuses on a parry and evading (soulslike) like many others these days but does it well. Reminds me a little of Jedi survivor / fallen order, I haven’t played sekiro but imagine it takes some inspiration from this. I’ve also seen nier automata comparisons to this as well. The design on the enemies also gives me half-life 2 vibes. Some of the cosmetics give me bayonetta energy.
It didn’t take me took long to grasp the game but did take me longer than I thought it would to get a no damage run on the stalker boss. I wanted to be a bit stylish and use some of the tools in the game. Trying to s-rank word to capcom and devil may cry. Tried to perfect parry and perfect dodge as much as possible.
I really like this game for another reason but it’s similar to an idea I had for game. With guns and swords and teleporting. I was messing around on Unreal Engine 4 (https://x.com/danielrayblog/status/14... ) to design it the only difference is my version included a jetpack. That was actually the only thing I managed to do 😂 I’m not a developer by trade. Also in my version the companion wasn’t a robot called Adam but a magical dwarf eagle from an ancient time (sounds crazy saying it out loud lol). Gameplay wise was going to be focused on achieving a state of flow psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi researched.
I haven’t had a game to really dive into recently final fantasy 16 and tekken 8 still on the list but life just been getting in the way. Not a bad thing but I don’t wanna lose my gaming edge if you know what I mean. Stellar blade is out on PlayStation 5 at the end of the month on April 26th. Play it for the plot.
