A WARNING: Tunic is extremely spoiler-sensitive, and it’s also very good. I recommend not reading much about it if you’re interested.

Anyway, Tunic. Cool game that I played a couple of years ago. I was surprised to see several near-explicit Dark Souls references in it (the tearstone rings and bells of awakening, particularly) beyond just the more obvious gameplay similarities. Anyone else here tried it out?

    The souls-like challenge of Tunic isn’t the combat (except maybe the final boss) but the puzzles. Translating the runes without relying on the internet was gnar.

    Also the only game I have gone from start to finish using the “keep yourself at super low health and use the RTSR to boost your damage” type build. Because that made it super easy.

      I did the same thing with the puzzles, but I never managed to translate the runes. Getting the secret fairies and the mountain door felt like satisfying conclusions for me, and after taking a brief look at the hints to start on the translation I decided that I had done what I was going to do here

      It was only upon looking it up later that I learned that the runes weren’t even the last code to solve
