Bleak Faith Forsaken Free Download GAMESPACK.NET One look at the gameplay for “Bleak Faith: Forsaken,” and you might think it’s just another drop in the Soulsborne genre bucket. It would be ill-advised to pass over this game, though, especially for fans of the genre. Developed and published by indie studio Archangel Studios, this particular “difficult-but-fair” game provides a refreshing experience that stands out from some of the other major hitters in the genre (that aren’t made by FromSoftware). The game has been in development for a handful of years, with the team making iterative changes based on community feedback to ensure that the game reached its full potential. With its 1.0 launch now a mere day away, it is abundantly clear that the team took that feedback to heart, creating one of the most intriguing, grandiose, action-packed, and (in a good way) hair-pullingly frustrating experiences since “Elden Ring.” TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Bleak Faith: Forsaken” is an action-adventure video game that takes place in a dark and immersive world. The game features several key elements, including:

• • • A deep and intriguing storyline that draws players into the game’s world and characters.
    • A dark and atmospheric setting that creates a sense of foreboding and danger.
    • Challenging combat mechanics that require skill and strategy to master.
    • A variety of weapons and abilities that can be upgraded and customized to suit the player’s playstyle.
    • Exploration and puzzle-solving elements that encourage players to explore every corner of the game’s world.

Boss battles that test the player’s combat abilities and offer unique challenges.

That’s quite a statement to make. But coming from someone who typically doesn’t enjoy or even gravitate towards the Soulsborne genre, there’s something about “Bleak Faith: Forsaken” that pulls you right into its despondent and desperate world and keeps you there. In the immortal words of Radiohead, “you do it to yourself, you do, and that’s what really hurts”. I’ve lost track of the number of indie studios trying to take on From Software and the Souls series, and it’s arguable that not a single one has yet managed to even come close to capturing the magic of Dark Souls or Elden Ring. They’re still trying, though, and that brings us to Bleak Faith: Forsaken, a new indie Soulslike from Archangel Studios. Let me lay my credentials on the table. I’m a massive Souls fan. I’ve finished every entry in the series at least once, most of them multiple times, and Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time. I hope that gives some context to the following disclosure: I didn’t make it all the way through Bleak Faith. I could only manage a handful of hours before it wore me down. Camp Buddy

You may think that this invalidates the review, and if so, that’s fair. However, I’d like to put forth my case for still reviewing Bleak Faith: Forsaken despite not experiencing everything it had to offer. First, I genuinely believe that anyone who makes it all the way through possesses either heroic determination or a self-hatred so strong that it suggests an urgent need for therapy. Second, Archangel Studios is charging real money for Bleak Faith on Steam, so I think it’s important to issue a “caveat emptor” to prevent others from going through what I did. The same was true in combat: My cumbersome avatar unresponsive to quick controller inputs when they mattered most in encounters with enemies. Often, I was beaten and easily stun-locked to death in my early hours because of this. Not long after, I’m falling out of bounds from a crack in the floor, rag-dolling through an endless void of bright white until I manually respawn to push through again. Many hours in, these issues are persistent around every corner, among other frustrating problems ruining my experience.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken has a fascinating aesthetic and meticulous level design that rewards exploration, but unfortunately, almost all areas of the game break under the weight of its technical imperfections. Soulslikes have become a crowded genre, most recently undergoing a shift away from straight Dark Souls clones with different worlds to fully different systems, combat styles and even genres. The soulslikes that appear today have to do something to differentiate themselves in a crowded space. Elden Ring has also changed the game again and inspired imitators still to see release. Bleak Faith: Forsaken has been in development longer than Elden Ring has been around, so there’s inspiration, but there’s also the dovetailing zeitgeist of the industry. Clearly, there is harmonious thinking happening between video game devs. Bleak Faith takes its inspiration from all over; Death Stranding, Soulslikes, Control, Elden Ring, Returnal, Shadow of the Colossus and Dark Souls. If you like those titles, and you like the style of hands-off discovery and brutal punishing combat, you will find an absolute feast here. For those converted by Elden Ring, this is the next step, into an even tougher, bleaker sci-fi landscape, that will not help you work out its systems. It’s an incredible achievement, created by just three multi-talented and dedicated developers. And its bleak world just begs to be explored. Camp Buddy Scoutmaster Season

“Bleak Faith: Forsaken’s” world is one that stands on the brink of death and despair. You’ll traverse the cyberpunk-meets-dark fantasy world through different areas of what’s known as the Omnistructure with a variety of enemies, obstacles, and larger-than-life boss battles, all while gearing yourself up with better weapons, armor, and Perk points along the way. While this may sound like “Bleak Faith: Forsaken” is simply aping other titles in the genre, it sets itself apart in a couple of special ways. The game’s levels are incredibly well-crafted and detailed. You won’t just be running through hallways or different areas of a castle; you’ll explore forests, deserts, and ruins — each with its own unique creature designs and environmental hazards to keep you on your toes. The level design is also incredibly open, and you’ll often find yourself considering multiple paths to progress or taking advantage of side passages and off-the-beaten-path areas that provide additional rewards (and enemy encounters). Ok, but this still sounds like a typical Soulsborne experience,” you might say. A fair point. However, “Bleak Faith: Forsaken” manages to stand tall against those traditional games — literally.

An immersive soundtrack and sound effects that enhance the game’s atmosphere and intensity.

While most Soulsboune games utilize level design themes on the scale of grandiose and epic, the design in “Bleak Faith: Forsaken” is hyper-focused on verticality, making you think upwards instead of forwards. You’ll have to scale walls, ruins, and cliffs to progress. With (more often than not) such a long way to drop, it’s a tense and exhilarating experience that makes excellent use of the game’s atmosphere and thematic elements. Let me be upfront about this. Almost nothing in Bleak Faith: Forsaken feels like it works as it should. It’s an open-world Soulslike with a world that is immeasurably tedious and frustrating to trek through, full of depressingly confusing and obtuse level design and enemies with inconsistent and unclear attack patterns. Even when Bleak Faith’s combat is “working as intended”, it feels clunky, awkward, and badly-made. Normally, this is where we might discuss the plot, but I have absolutely no idea what it is. Part of that might be because I didn’t see Bleak Faith through to its conclusion, but it’s also because you are given absolutely zero sense of context or direction at the outset. You’re shown a dialogue-free cutscene that feels like little more than an artsy experiment, then dumped onto a sloping rooftop. That’s it. That’s the setup Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days

As with many Soulslikes and the games that inspired them, narrative is a different beast in Bleak Faith Forsaken. There’s no moment-to-moment plot, no purpose given to your journey and no character or relationships to hang a narrative off. What there is instead is a world to explore full of strange and terrifying beings, full of mysteries and questions. Rather than the stock human, cursed to reincarnate, in Bleak Faith Forsaken you are an automaton, a robot with only eye slits in their otherwise featureless face. Every death leaves your broken metal body on the ground and sleeves you in a new one at the last shuddering Humunculus figure (Bleak’s version of bonfires). You will meet a handful of NPCs, rogue automatons, some trying to kill you and a few with things to say about the world, but far less so than even Elden Ring. And you will find wonder, and suspense and epic set-pieces. They just exist within the void – the void of an otherwise nonexistent plot, and the void of the Omnistructure.

Bleak Faith Forsaken is a hard thing to get into and it’s designed that way. You need to be the type of gamer who needs only the thrill of combat and exploration to compel you onward. If you know yourself to be one who needs quests, narrative and destinations to aim for, you will not find them here. Elden Ring was commended for its lack of quest markers, its deliberate aversion to telling you what to do or where to go, enhancing the feeling of exploration and discovery. Bleak Faith Forsaken takes that philosophy even further, leaving you alone and rudderless in a twisting Inception dream of a vertical world. There is no map, there are no quest markers on the HUD or otherwise. Due to some incredible draw distances and its vertical folding world, Bleak Faith Forsaken is able to employ Elden Ring’s lauded feat of guiding you or at least enticing you via the design of the landscape. You can see places where enemies reside, ladders in the distance, broken-down ruins on the horizon line, doors and walkways that you can likely reach, if only you could find the route there. In Dark Souls fashion, caves, lifts and gates often link back up to areas you’ve previously been, creating shortcuts for another run at a boss.
