TSA writes: Ah, the Soulslike. Nowadays it feels as if every other game is likened to FromSoftware’s series in some way, but some games hew closer to the formula than others. Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a game that’s cut from Dark Souls’ cloth in terms of atmosphere, setting, and the need for careful, considered approaches to its combat heavy world. It even takes clear visual influences from the Souls series, albeit transforming them into a top-down retro pixel aesthetic. Yet a review by comparison can only go so far, so how does Morbid stand up on its own bloody stumps?
The Humble Choice November 2022 lineup is here with games like Hell Let Loose and Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.
Morbid: The Seven Acolytes may seem familiar in terms of gameplay as it’s another Souls-like game that’s added to an ever-growing genre of titles that aim to dethrone From Software’s game-changing hits, but Morbid: The Seven Acolytes provides so much more that it uses the genre as more of an inspiration as it takes things into its own direction with a wonderful retro aesthetic that makes it one of the most accessible and enjoyable Souls-like titles to date, standing out from the influx of poor attempts from other titles over the last few years.
