Dysmantle takes a lot of inspiration and ideas from the Dark Souls series and to a very good level. The enemies hit hard, your weapon is shit and you think it’s just the devs way of keeping the game going or extending its life but it’s like that as it encourages strategy, it encourages patience and countering, all words used to describe Dark Souls combat and for good reason. It’s really not for after you realize what the game is going for, so much of it makes sense. I honestly thought it was just another 3rd person open-world survival game with crafting, zombies, and the like. The satisfying noise it makes as you bank your resources.Ī lot has changed since we covered the Steam Early Access version last year.Craft a shovel to randomly dig around for resources and loot.The collection will show percentages of progress, encountered enemies, etc.In-game images are used for the cutscenes.
