Aiming to be a cinematic soulslike

Flintlock is a third-person action-RPG with a Souls-style currency system, in which you gain ‘Reputation’ by hacking monsters, lose it all when you die, but can collect it again on your next life. You’re also fighting alongside Enki, your spirit sidekick who teleports about and nips at the enemies you’re hacking and slashing.

Ed had a chance to lock eyes with Flintlockin October last year, during which its developers described it as sitting at a midpoint betweenElden Ringand God Of War. Which is a bold claim, but Ed was impressed with its tricky combat and cinematic flair, so maybe they can do it. And as noted, Ashen waspretty great.
