Duskfade Makes Boss Fights Feel Poignant

Duskfade Makes Boss Fights Feel Poignant https://ift.tt/v1CHyqT Duskfade passed by last month without too much notice. To the extent that it gained attention, it was for its Nomura-like character design that appeared to be aping Kingdom Hearts. And while that isn't inaccurate, it also feels like an unfair simplification. Duskfade is very little like Kingdom Hearts, more reminiscent of a PS3-era action-platformer than an action-RPG.

That's why Callaway came to rely on the Hadoken, even though it's also comparatively weak and can only dish out 13 points in damage at most.

It's one thing to say you've done something and another to show it. To prove his achievement, Callaway posted his gameplay videos from his emote-only Monster Hunter: World run. The first video alone is just under three hours, but these videos demonstrate that the challenge is possible, even though there's no Achievement or Trophy waiting at the end for sticking with it.
