PS4/PC Preview – ‘Eitr’ | WorthPlaying

WP:

In Norse mythology, the titular Eitr is a deadly poison that's produced by the serpent Jormungadr. In the world of Eitr, the deadly substance is corrupting the world and has infected the tree Yggdrasil. The Shield Maiden is immune to Eitr, so she is the only one who can save the world. If she can't find a solution, she is doomed to watch the world die.

If you've played Dark Souls, the gameplay in Eitr will feel familiar. While it is an isometric action RPG, Eitr strives for the same feel in its combat. The Shield Maiden controls similarly to a Souls protagonist, with block, dodge, parry and swing moves. You even need to manage stamina to make sure you can attack and dodge.
