Shame nobody really seems interested in either of these. UnEpic is really cool and does the Metroidvania style a lot better than a lot of recent games that claim the style.
i've decided to give a spin to unepic but since so far i don't have a lot of nice thing to say about it i've decided to keep my mouth shut :lol
yeah it gets the big castle part right,but the enviroment looks pretty dull,the combat boils down to stun locking everything (i've made a point of using the spear since it has a longer reach and thus let you hit without getting hit and i rarely take any damage) and of course there are "look at me! i'm indie!" citation everywhere too ("it works in legend of zelda!" says the MC in the intro,"this sage looks just like yoda!",etc)
the first boss really show the jank of the game,it has 2 attack one of which consist of slamming around the room leaving huge dead zone where you can twiddle your finger with no consequence happening,it's so easy gaibon and slogra feel like a proper boss in comparison,boss in question (spoiled in case fistful hasn't still seen it)
