Check out this No Rest for the Wicked boss gameplay! This month’s IGN First is Ori developer Moon Studios' upcoming action RPG, No Rest for the Wicked.

Throughout the rest of February, we’ll have new No Rest for the Wicked gameplay, behind-the-scenes features, and interviews with the development team coming your way, all building up to the game’s Wicked Inside Showcase on March 1, 2024. First up, though, we have an IGN exclusive look at eight minutes of gameplay, including a tense No Rest for the Wicked boss battle against Warrick the Torn.

Saw this earlier. This game screams 90+ (art direction, level design, animation, combat, density of "stuff" on screen). Also heavily inspired by Dark Souls (I know I know, shut up)

 

[LectureMaster]

Is this the Moon Studio new game? Intriguing.

 

[Dacvak]

Pretty interesting camera. Almost feels like a zoomed in Diablo. Not sure if I like that or not, but at least the game otherwise looks cool.

 

[foamdino]

Yeah I was interested until I saw that it's another souls-like.

 

[Bombolone]

First I’m seeing/hearing of this.
Solid video. The atmosphere, animation, art… really bring me in.
I have a soft spot for this camera (diorama) view.
Like I stated in another thread. I don’t need or really want cutting edge graphics. Just games that have imagination.
I am looking forward to seeing more.

Top down Soulslike. Can't say I'm feeling it.

 

[Kurotri]

This turned me off. Don't misunderstand, it looks cool for what it wants to be, but I guess I'm not the target audience. Top down Soulslike and that Zelda stamina circle, yeesh.

This turned me off. Don't misunderstand, it looks cool for what it wants to be, but I guess I'm not the target audience. Top down Soulslike and that Zelda stamina circle, yeesh.

Don’t forget the counter and parry moves. Ah!….. I can’t lie I love these kinds of games. They are always the reason My big AAA games go sit on the backlog pile.

 

[Fbh]

Looks great IMO.
Love the art style and animations, the combat seems to have a certain "heavyness" but in a good way and what little they showed of the level design looked decent.

Can't wait, although I think they said this year is only early access, right?

 

[GymWolf]

This looks great.

 

[Borowski_1]

This looks really good

It has Ori vibes to it too

 

[MiguelItUp]

Was not expecting to see what I saw, and I'm all in. Definitely on the radar now and can't wait to see more.

 

[DaciaJC]

This was the highlight of TGA for me, looks great!

 

[KyoZz]

I was already sold when I saw Moon Studios.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Assuming it has online play...
This is a must buy.
PC knocking out the park.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looking forward to it. Moon Studios has a unique artstyle.

 

[DragonNCM]

Diablo isometric perspective + Souls combat !!!
Day one !!!

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks really cool. Didn't know what to expect but thought it was cool.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Does have online play

 

[Labadal]

I was hoping it was more Diablo than Dark Souls. Interest waning, but not completely gone.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

That looks glorious

 

[TheDuskwalker]

That looks good.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Based, ultra-giga-Chad game gonna deliver.

 

[Hugare]

Looks delicious

Heavy combat looks so satisfying. Also the sound design.

Dont know if its going to turn out amazing, but I'm sure it will be at least great

 

[Gideon]

Ohh its looking great and it's soulslike? Day 1 for sure.

 

[Duellist]

Day one bitches!!

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Getting Dungeon Siege vibes from the video...or Dungeon Souls might be a more apt description.

I liked the previous video (thought it was an ARPG) just fine but this video gives me the impression that all the monster fights are drawn out, dodge heavy affairs.

Cautiously optimistic for now.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Top-down soulslike is actually way more interesting to me. Maybe because it's giving me Grim Dawn vibes, at least aesthetically.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I love how dense the environments feel. Together with the meaty feel of the animations… oh yum.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks noice

 

[Punished Miku]

Interest in this game plummeted after watching this.

 

[kikkis]

Not a fan on of top down view

 

[Bartski]

not sure how have I missed this, looks damn amazing!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

 

[Robb]

Meh, not my kind of game. I wish they would’ve just made another platformer.

Visuals look nice though, very reminiscent of the Ori games.

 

[Bernardougf]

This looks great ... hope it really turns out good ...

 

[DavidGzz]

Yep, another candidate for my GoTY. This looks right up my alley. Love Diablo and Souls. Great mashup along with PoE2 which also looks more Souls-like. Ty Miyazaki for your influence on the industry.

 

[Zuzu]

It looks really good. I’ve wishlisted it.

 

[darrylgorn]

Tired of dark souls style combat but looks good otherwise.

 

[near]

This is looking real good. I like how the XP gain after beating the boss is discreet but can still be seen in the top left-hand corner of the screen. I really hope they make an effort with the level design, and incorporate difficult to find, hidden areas, I think the isometric design helps encourage exploration. Like you'd be able to see an accessible area, but how do you get in there? There hasn't been a soulslike that has had my attention quite like this.

 

[Hohenheim]

My most anticipated game. Looks amazing. I watched a few seconds of this, and will stay away from any footage from now and until release. This is day 1, and I don't want to see/know anything more before diving in.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Previews coming soon!

 

[Topher]

Damn.....somehow I missed this. Game looks amazing.
