Valor Mortis Is A First-Person Soulslike That Tries Too Much

Valor Mortis Is A First-Person Soulslike That Tries Too Much https://ift.tt/Xk2BUfe The soulslike genre has been around long enough now that it's easy to pick out its most recognizable traits. Whether it's managing stamina in combat, the risk of losing progression with each death, health items and enemies that respawn when you reach a bonfire, lantern, or some other recognizable checkpoint; all of the best in the genre adapt these in their own distinct ways.  Valor Mortis is no different, but attempts to stand out through its shift in perspective.
