The game doesn't look too bad!
The trailer could be better though. The music is almost too dramatic and it kind of distracted me. :p And it doesn't match what's happening on the screen.
At the end of the video there's a list of features in the game, but instead of a long list of things that appears on the screen for a few seconds, you could have introduced those features one by one during the video and actually show these things in action. You're making it look like the game's all about combat and there's really nothing else going on, which probably isn't the case.
Good luck with your game. :cool:

Hello, thanks for the comments. The music is my fault, big John Carpenter fan :)
This video was mainly about the battles as this is where our game stands out (we think). The next videos will show the other items on the list (promise).
We are only a 2 man team so it takes a while to get this stuff done ... thanks again!

Looks really cool. I really like that kind of medieval dark fantasy atmosphere. Coupled with that music, it kind of reminds me of King's Field :cheeky: .
Can't wait for more videos!

They are coming ... the game is a lot further along than this video makes it look (promise)!

Ohhh that does look good! I love Dungeon Crawlers, I'm defiantly getting a Eye of the Beholder vibe there!
Not sure if you're on Facebook or not but there is a Dungeon Crawler group that would love this game, It's called Dungeon Crawlers : RetroGaming.
Tell them Gary the Polar Bear sent you :cool:

Looks nice, but here's the most important thing, and any Dungeon Master fan will agree with me:
Can you slam doors on monster 's heads? HMMMM?
DSE on 6/3/2019 at 20:55
Joined that group on FB, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully people will likey!
DSE on 6/3/2019 at 20:56
Unfortunately, physics doors and monster heads dont play nice together :) We have other ways of killing though which are just as fun!

As for the trailer, fade ins and outs are too long, and actual gameplay shots are pretty short. The overall impression is that you have something, but you're shy or afraid to show it. Second important thing IMO is, that we're living in a post-Grimrock 1 & 2 world, which did a lot to revive the genre. That video doesn't really show how your game is different or more innovative from theirs. E.g. there's barely any interface or mechanics presented. I grew up with Dungeon Master and Ishar games, but I'm not super keen on trying this one out, after this trailer.
