- The Surge -

Sometimes I get this urge to play a souls-like. Because once you play Dark Souls and you really embrace it and it clicks then you are hooked and other games pale in comparison.

Luckily The Surge was part of the Humble Monthly Bundle (exceptional value for money) and I started playing it now.

Think of The Surge as a Scifi Dark Souls with some changes to make it unique. It’s made by Deck13 who also made Lords of the Fallen.

Here’s a playthrough by Keith Ballard:

Have any of you played it or are thinking of playing it?

It’s in the list of vault games for Origin Access (Basic) so when I decide to sub that for a year I will have a look at The Surge

I actually got it recently (can’t even remember where now I think about it…wasn’t humble) and played it…haven’t finished it yet, but it was ok.

Sadly dark souls 2 and 3 spoilt me for choice, since theres a very limited number of “unique” enemy types in the Surge…theres also only 5 bosses.

The Surge 2 apparently looks to fix that!

I am enjoying playing it, but its definitely a “get on sale” game as it stands…

I’m having a hard time with Black Cerberus. I watched a couple of videos last night on how to beat it though and will give it a go again tonight.

My biggest issue with him was the bots he summons, trying to get them to blow up the fuel tanks for the bonus drops. Otherwise he’s just a normal mob that hits super hard.
What weapon style are you playing with, out of curiosity? :slight_smile: (I found myself enjoying single-rigged the most, altho i tried the staff for a while when i got a “good” one)

You can do it! And if you can’t, you can always do what I did…

Thanks @Wlad!

@Mottamort, those bots are horrible. But I saw the tactics to use now. Hopefully I’ll come right. I also use single-rigged and have been since the beginning of the game. I’m sporting the IRONMAUS gear now. Still deciding if I like it. It’s pretty funny though.

I never got IRONMAUS, I missed a coin somewhere. Hope to get it on my NG+ run.
Currently using one of the late game armour sets and I switch between three weapon types. I like twin rigged, one handed and heavy weapons.

I actually want to carry on playing, just finished part 1 of the DLC, but since they announced the new DLC I want to wait to see where in the game it will take place. I don’t wanna have to start a new character to play the new DLC, when I eventually can buy it. I must have it though. Western Sci-Fi Souls clone? Fuck Yes!

Screw it. I’m absolutely exhausted. You know when you feel so tired that you feel emotional? I’m at that point and then playing this game and dying over and over again just isn’t doing it for me anymore.

I was exhausted last night but I didn’t uninstall the game. Will try it again when I’m in a better state of mind.
