Soul Sacrifice Teaser for VITA!

quote The Pursuit

You never know Machienzo this could still be really good. How come it instantly turns into a won't touch title?

quote SpartanNinja

I don't think the combat is fast so much as over the top. I mean its slow enough that you can devise a strategy and put it to work and all that. Its just everything you sacrifice gives you a ridiculous over the top power. For example ripping out your spine is just crazy but probably a last resort weapon that will the enemy but is guaranteed to kill you, presumably your allies or you yourself can in turn sacrifice a part of themselves to revive you or just leave you for dead and take all the loot.

Yeah from what I've seen/read, ripping out your spine is pretty much the ultimate sacrifice. I wonder if you use that technique if you'll be totally consumed by whatever was turning that guy in the trailer into a monster. I also wonder if it's immediate game over.

To be fair it's nowhere near over the top as Devil May Cry or God of War, it's just some of the magic looks a bit too much, though some might have good use like that rockwall.

As for the loot, you'll probably recieve something if you killed/sacrificed yourself to help them. I'd probably not revive them if it was possible though.

Well aren't you just nice.

Hey, more stuff for me.

From what I have seen you actually get absolutely nothing and another thing the developer is tossing around is that death via being completely consumed by overuse of powers and by sacrificing yourself is permadeath, just to drive home the overall motif of sacrifice. Although he was deciding against it cause theres nothing like getting to the last boss and permanently dying. I don't l know where saves will come into place...
