I just beat the demo and MAN that final boss was fun. I thought at first, “holy hell he has a billion moves there’s no way I can do this on four hearts”. And I did the Dragon’s Dogma classic of using all my items, everything I got, did a bunch of jump attacks, knew the best spots to land hits (eye lasers was definitely the easiest). Also spotted some nasty stamina traps with the magic missiles, honestly better to save your stamina and take the one damage if you can manage it.
I actually heard the goblin sound effect, at least the squeaking one before, in another game! Shout outs to Exiled Kingdoms. Brought a lil bit of nostalgia.
But, seriously, a mix of Dragon’s Dogma with some very light Zelda elements was really fun. If I could go back to my greatsword days, it’d be over. Really reminded me of the fun of Bitterblack.
