Focus Interactive sent us this new trailer of Bound by Flame focused on the combat system of Spiders' new RPG. It is worth mentioning that the version shown here is the Playstation 4 build.
Too bad the combat looks like crap, there is no "umph" or "punch" behind the hits between the weapons and the enemies.
And the dodge looks hilariously bad, just a step back? they should have added a roll instead.
I wish those two were great since everything else looks very good to me, but if the impact of the combat lacks i wont bother with it.
Stupid high-fantasy mash-up!
What do you find about the creature design, Zat?! It's uninspired and does not stand out in the slightest in comparison with the bajillion gritty fantasy-adventure games out there.
As Sath has said, the combat does indeed feel weak and of course very unrealistic. The "stepping back" on the other hand I don't see as terrible because of how it's used in the particular clips - it's a proper alternative to the constant evasive rolling that you see in most games (and a much more efficient move in real life). I wonder why they don't let the player block with his weapons?
It's like the character is skating on ice. It looks decent, but there's indeed no oomph in combat.
Quite the same reason I didn't like the Batman games (sorry, fans). Fighting sounded and felt like slapping a piece of chicken. Slap, flap, flop, oh stop it you.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)
