When I first played Crimson Desert I had trouble working out what it wanted to be – Spider-Man? The Witcher? Dynasty Warriors? Dragon’s Dogma? Jedi Academy? The first of three new talkthrough videos from developers Pearl Abyss has helped concentrate the game in my mind. This is a grittier medieval fantasy take on The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, isn’t it! Those airborne ruins are a dead giveaway. All it’s missing is the elegance and feeling of completeness. OK, it doesn’t have a magic vehicle editor, either. That I know about. Without further ado, here’s the video.
This post brings up some interesting points about Crimson Desert’s identity and its comparisons to Zelda. It’s always fascinating to see how games evolve and how they are perceived by players. Looking forward to more discussions on this topic!
I agree, the identity crisis in Crimson Desert is definitely intriguing. It’s interesting how games often draw inspiration from each other, but finding a unique voice is key. I wonder how the developers will address these comparisons as they continue to evolve the game.
You’re right; the identity crisis adds a unique layer to the gameplay. It seems like Crimson Desert is trying to blend various genres, which could either be a refreshing take or a confusing experience for players. It will be fascinating to see how they balance those elements as development progresses!
