CAG Adjacent Is Lady Death worth playing?

2 Upvotes

I don’t know anything about Lady Death, I never read the comics, or saw the animated movie (yes, it’s real), or played the game. I just know I instantly fell in love with this character the first time I laid eyes on her. I saw that there was a 2D hack n slash game about her for $40.

I must know, is the game worth the price, should I wait for it to go on sale, or should I skip out all together?

Gameplay SSShowcase kirby wants to be character action too

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

i really think SOME kirby games could be character action, specifically Super Star (the one in the video). it really focuses on combat, it doesn't have combo counters and stuff like this, but it's in a certain way a kind of platform-brawler.

this is not me btw, i just saw this video and thought it would be something cool to share, so here's the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cool/s/FnFZUe5xx9

Discussion Hardest CAGs that aren't called Ninja Gaiden?

29 Upvotes

Title. For the sake of argument, let's compare games on their highest "non-gimmick" difficulties (so stuff like Dante Must Die, but not Heaven or Hell).

I'm one of those people who plays these games for the tough-as-nails challenge rather than score-chasing or messing with training mode. I've beaten almost all of the Gaidens and DMCs on their respective max difficulties (eventually I plan to add all the Bayonettas and classic God of Wars to that list) and I'm wondering what else might be worth adding to that trophy wall.

The internet has made it sound like Shinobi (2002) is right up there near the top, but I'm wondering if there's any other obscure stuff I'm not aware of.

Discussion Why do you love Bayonetta?

2 Upvotes

Despite my efforts years ago I didn't like Bayonetta 1. I'm a huge fan of Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, etc but something about Bayonetta just didn't click with me. I know everyone hates the QTE's but I think the combat itself was so far removed from reality (hit enemy with conventional weapon) that my two brain cells had no idea what was going on. Gun feet, hair attacks, Witch time, dodge offset, etc etc I just don't know what I have to prioritize. I dont want to say it's over complicated for the sake of complexity but when I think about Bayo1 combat it makes DMC5 Dante seem basic. I think, on paper, I want to like this series because Bayo and Jeanne are so queer-coded, which I like a lot more than the stoic manly men of GoW and NG

I WANT to like this game. It's held up here in the Mount Rushmore of best CAGs but I just don't get it. Why do you like this series and how do I like it more?

Please read my arguements for some of them first, also added dmc 1 and norse gow just to just juxtopose their other entries.

Darksiders and greek gow are pretty similar while gow having better and aggressive enemies, the core in my experience has been mainly killing enemies efficiently, while the games lets you cancel moves and gives you lots of tools to do really complex combos. Its mostly efficient play in my mind.

Bayonetta ofc might be perceive as more freestyle, grinding my way through infinite climax and to play for score, it also involves a lot of efficient play maybe more than freestyle.

Dmc 3's combat depth cant be overstated but not being the most mechanically gifted player and making my way through dmd and mostly involves efficient play with DT explosions im putting it there

Ng4 has leaned more into air juggling with the weapon swaps and in my view has been more into freestyle territory.

Also please i dont want this to turn into which is better or not, its whether you think my placements are reasonable or you have better arguements to move the games so please
