The Dark Messiah vibes are definitely on point, but it&apos;s a little too good\u2014too sharp, too smooth, too pre-rendered\u2014and that&apos;s led some people to dismiss it as somehow &#8220;fake.&#8221; It&apos;s even drawn a few comparisons to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-day-before-saga-explained-from-steams-most-wishlisted-game-to-the-end-of-a-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Day Before<\/a>, the zombie survival game that looked brilliant when we first saw it, but that ultimately delivered one of the most spectacular train wrecks in recent history.<\/p>\n<p>Developer Push On said on the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/wzeS52qYb9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alkahest Discord<\/a> that the trailer &#8220;conveys the feeling of the game well,&#8221; but also acknowledged that while in-game assets were used in the video, &#8220;some of the camera angles and animations have been crafted specifically for the trailer, for the sake of spectacle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&apos;t sound unreasonable to me. Game trailers, especially announcement videos, are meant to grab attention, and this one certainly has. You probably won&apos;t be surprised to hear that I watch a lot of game trailers, and my only real complaint about this one is that it&apos;s not as explicit as it could be about what it is: An up-front &#8220;not actual gameplay&#8221; somewhere would at least help calm concerns that the developers are trying to put one over on people.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there&apos;s definitely excitement for what Alkahest promises. Push On also cites Dishonored and Kingdom Come: Deliverance as inspirations, but at this stage it&apos;s the Dark Messiah fans coming out in force.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1351px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:59.29%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"thyc47KyiPi7e5uSEg8Ghf\" name=\"dark1.png\" alt=\"Reddit comments on Alkahest looking like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, which is a great game\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-new-action-rpg-inspired-by-dark-messiah-of-might-and-magic-looks-almost-too-good-to-be-true-and-some-people-are-worried-its-the-day-before-all-over-again.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1351\" height=\"801\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Reddit)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>HansChrst1 has it right: It&apos;s all about the kicks, baby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1397px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:39.51%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"c8xNeqqXfemgxrvijQppof\" name=\"dark2.png\" alt=\"Reddit comments on Alkahest looking like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, which is a great game\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-new-action-rpg-inspired-by-dark-messiah-of-might-and-magic-looks-almost-too-good-to-be-true-and-some-people-are-worried-its-the-day-before-all-over-again-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1397\" height=\"552\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Reddit)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KnxgQMSsc8c\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I also find it encouraging that the developers don&apos;t appear to be over-promising on what Alkahest will deliver: Rather than a &#8220;bloated map and dull filler quests,&#8221; Push On is aiming for &#8220;a highly interactive and believable world with semi open-world locations, packed with secrets and adventure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The trailer is a pre-rendered sequence on the game engine, aimed to show key mechanics and interactions that players will experience in the game,&#8221; Push On told PC Gamer. &#8220;All assets are in-game, but camera angles and some animations have been crafted specifically for the trailer.
