SteelRising fans should keep an eye on “Enotria: The Last Song”

Soulslike fans are currently getting their money’s worth. The release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has provided fans of the subgenre with hours of brand new content, including armor and weapons, as well as plenty of challenging bosses to fight and areas to explore. In addition, several other games in the pipeline will strengthen the genre even further, including Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Black Myth: WukongAnd Enotria: The Last Song all are scheduled to be released before the end of September. While each tries to put its own stamp on the Soulslike genre, the latter in particular will deal with Italian folklore, a setting that has not really been explored before. Fans of SteelRisinga Soulslike with a similarly unique setting in 18th century France, should keep an eye on it Enotria.

Solid, if unspectacular, developer Spiders didn’t do everything right with SteelRising. The combat and boss battles weren’t really good enough to stand out in an already crowded genre. The setting, however – an alternate historical version of the 18th century French Revolution – was the standout part of the game. Exploring a war-torn Paris and chatting to historical figures like King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette while battling crazy automatons throughout the city made the experience unforgettable. There’s no doubt that Enotria: The Last SongHiring can enhance it in a similar way.

Enotria: The Last Song offers an unusual setting

The real Enotria was founded in the 5th century in southern Italy. The name means “land of wine” as the land itself includes vast vineyards and hills. Developer Jyamma Games obviously has a passion and love for the setting, and it shows in every facet of Enotria: The Last Song‘s world. The cities are bustling with music and wine, sunlight filters through gaps in the buildings, and every inhabitant of the world is busy playing their part, under the control of a mysterious force called Canovaccio.

All in Enotria: The Last Songwhether its locations, weapons or important characters, is based on real-life aspects of Italian culture and folklore. Jyamma Games strives to really bring the world to life, striking a fine balance between historical realism and fantastical elements required for an exciting action RPG. However, a Soulslike is only as good as its combat mechanics, and the Italian developer is all too aware of this.

Enotria: The Last Song will focus on gameplay

EnotriaThe combat of will be focused on aggression, encouraging the player to stay as far forward as possible. There will be no giant shields for players to hide behind. Instead, they will have to dodge and parry to achieve victory, using a variety of weapons for short and long-range attacks as well as abilities for magical/elemental damage. Variety of builds has become an important part of the success of a Soulslike, and it is in this area that Enotria is looking to innovate. The game allows players to save multiple custom builds at once, including weapons, armor, and skills, and switch between them on the fly.

is looking for innovations.

This level of variation hasn’t really been possible in the genre before, as most other Soulslikes require the player to either completely re-equip their skills or change all of their gear in the menu to change their build. Enotria tries to eliminate all that and hopefully create some eye-catching, fluid combat situations. While SteelRising placed emphasis on his surroundings to the detriment of his fight, Enotria: The Last Song seems to prioritize both equally, and for lovers of Italian folklore or the genre as a whole, it’s a game with huge potential.
