  • We really appreciated your feedback and hope you'll check out future iterations of Kristala! We were stoked to see you had so much fun with the Earthquake spell. Def a personal favorite of ours as well 😆 We're working on AI improvements including perception, patrols, and ways to deal with the player climbing on roof-tops. We also have a ton of unique stuff in store like our feline skill tree where you can acquire abilities like enhanced night-vision as well as additional stealth and traversal skills. On top of that, we are adding a full cat customizer so you can decide to play as any cat your heart desires, collectible familiars that will assist you on your journey, giant canine steeds you'll be able to ride around on during exploration, and six diff clans to choose from that determine your magic abilities with the ability to make hybrid builds in NG+. Was really awesome watching you play and we're honored to be amongst such good company in this video. Really digging Crowsworn's art style!
  • @VaatiVidya
    Really disappointed in you for not reading the penguin lore at 5:33, it's surprisingly deep and has some serious implications
  • @vascr0
    Lies of Penguin is the most effort I've seen put into a shitpost. Props to the devs
  • @MotiviqueStudio
    “Would you like to see the plot of the first one?” That walk of text had to be self aware.
  • @weegal
    Lies of penguin should get more money. this should be a 100 hour open world masterpiece. god damn it was amazing
  • @pracinus
    Lies of Penguin might be singlehandedly the most intense cinematic mess of a game I have ever seen
  • @bel3961
    I would never get to see things like Lies of Penguin without this series, and for that I thank you.
  • @nugget7553
    Lies of Penguin needs game of the year honestly. simply a gaming masterpiece.
  • @cho4d
    i cant get over the fact that falling in water kills you as a penguin
  • @zedre7633
    Lies of Penguin really is the sort of thing you start off going "alright..." and end going "OOOOHHHH" at the final scene with the Pengi assist.
  • @edfed3797
    The penguin game went from a joke to a cinematical masterpiece in the span of 10 minutes.
  • @whiskeytango6769
    The fact that some of the devs of the games you review actually comment and respond to the constructive criticism you provide is honestly hella sweet. Shows that some of them actually care about what they produce and that they actually listen to their communities and give them what they want unlike some of these AAA titles an shit
  • Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is absolutely a top tier game. I've honestly been chasing the high of playing that game since I was 10 and I've yet to see a game that captures the feeling of it quite precisely.
  • @pyhimys83
    At this point you might as well start a steam curator list for all the souls likes you actually enjoyed enough to recommend
  • @GodofTrombones
    Somebody give Lies of Penguin a budget of more than a few herring and we'll have ourselves a goddamn masterpiece.
  • @MrSiirpants
    I love how pengi the blue flame comes in and chops off the castle golems arm is taken straight out of the overwatch 2 cinematics when genji saves tracer so she can plant the bomb inside the robots core 😂
  • @mrpsyco5884
    Love how "God damn" is the first reaction he had. The exact same thing probably happened when people first played Nier Automata
  • @2_Elliot
    For crow sworn in the AMA stream they said that the death mechanic of loosing money would only be for the demo, in the full game there would be a lore-related death mechanic that they didn’t want to reveal
  • @bernardo5219
    Lies of Penguin was actually so hype that was insane my jaw DROPPED when pengi cut the giant robot arm
  • @user-ye2gx5ye8p
    The Pengi assist had no reason to be that hype! . Wow, the animation on Crowsworn is CLEAN.
