http://www.capybaragames.com/2016/08/a-short-announcement-about-below/
Quote:
We told you BELOW would be out this summer. Our team worked hard to make that deadline a reality. But after a strong push, we’ve decided it isn’t ready.

We did a lot of soul searching. We knew we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible. We knew the game was there, and we’re super proud of it, but we also knew it needed more time to make sure it lives up to our studio’s standards, and the quality that you expect from our games. From the very beginning, BELOW has been our most ambitious undertaking, and we’re just not quite done excavating its depths, or polishing all of its facets.

Instead of giving you a new, loose release window, we will be going dark while we take the time that we need to complete BELOW without compromise. The next time you see a major BELOW update, that means our game has a firm release date, which we’ll share.

Making games is hard but rewarding work. Accepting, even after this long development, that the game needs more time is difficult, but it’s important that we are honest with ourselves as creators, and with you, the players.

We’re sorry we let you down with yet another delay. But in the end, we need to make certain that the hard work we’ve put into this game turns into something you’ll love, and to us that unfortunately means keeping BELOW in the oven a while longer, until it truly is ready.

Thanks for the continued support, and see you on the other side.

lol at that guy
ppl arent complaining anymore because the big dark souls like craze is over.

People craving dark souls like games had enough games to quench their thirst:
Salt and sanctury, Dark Maus, The Surge, Lords of the fallen, Titansouls, Necropolis, Nioh, Jotun...

Just to name a few. Could list even more but yeah...

The only thing that could put this game apart is maybe the art style but i dont think it will bring too much to the table.

Games like this are unfortunately all in development hell and the hype has died down.(similar cases being Eitr, Death Gambit etc. so ppl are kinda fed up with it imo)
When it was newly announced i was hyped af but now i wouldnt even care if they d keep it xbox one exclusive.

Wasnt this supposed to be a top down/isometric souls like?
Gritty dark atmosphere and such.

This isn't the first time a developer has cited the Souls series as an influence. Capy Games' Below culls the series for inspiration, as does Deck13 Interactive's Lords of the Fallen.


Quote:
What the game feels like then, is a quiet, almost mournful take on Don't Starve, with elements of Dark Souls, especially in its use of restorative spaces where players can sit and contemplate the adventure. It looks cute and playful, but just below the surface, with its player crafting and procedural dungeons, ...

the devs themselves pitched it as such not me.(besides all the media outlets back then approving of it)

They might have tried to use the hype but wel similarities are there. Campfires like in DS for respawn(rogue like nature) combat on a superifical lvl between zelda and Ds is similar enough.Lock on combat with sword and shield only thing that might be missing on the older videos is stamina which they might have added(too lazy to check)

More like souls since you can just go back and get all your shit back you also unlock shortcuts so you don't have to start all over, i still don't like the forced hunger/thirst survival crap so i will probably skip this unless it turns out phenomenal which i doubt.

I don't think it was worth the wait. I'm into rogue-like, but this ain't it. Below lacks any sort of gameplay depth or progression. It's a forced and rarely satisfying grind. Upon death you have to climb a tall wall and walk to the shortcuts every time unless you have a useful checkpoint active. This is just one example out of many times when the game unnecessarily drags on... I almost lost it in a sequence of useless elevators I had to go through every time I died.
The game delivers at what we already expected from the few pre-release videos. The artistic direction is stunning if you don't mind minimalist graphics. The music is uncanny benefiting the eerie atmosphere. I like the setting, but I'm already bored by the gameplay.

Well i'm generally not that much into rogue-likes but this is probably by far the most boring one i've ever played, hardly anything is explained and i really hate the survival aspects also the camera is way too zoomed out, i thought it looked pretty cool at first until i realized there was no zoom in function and i was supposed to play the whole fucking game like that Laughing
