I have not completely explored what all 5 characters can do, but I would assume they all have some form or another of this as well, which helps to keep combat fresh. This allows Terrance to do a sort of lunge attack that does tons of damage, and Viola to perform a powerful gun-based move. One notable difference though is that unlike the Soulsborne games, players can combo light and strong moves that do much more powerful attacks if they have enough of their special combat gauge filled up. Luckily you can increase your Stamina via items and the Endurance Stat, but I’ll go into those further in a moment. And just like these games, figuring out which of these to do against the enemy you are facing is key, as is managing your Stamina consumption. Note that there are two difficulties for the game “Normal” and filthy “Casual”.Ĭombat in Pascal’s Wager plays out in a similar manner to Soulsborne games, with players attacking with light and strong attacks (R1 and R2) that consume Stamina, along with Dodging, Blocking and Parrying.

And while the bosses were not particularly challenging on PC for a Souls veteran, I can only imagine how they must have been on mobile. Inevitably though you’ll stumble upon the boss of the location, who all have their own opening cutscenes and musical scores, and designs that certainly match the gothic/demonic theme of Pascal’s Wager. The areas are much larger than I was expecting for a game that was designed for mobile devices, and it sometimes took me a minute to figure out just which direction I needed to go next. Exploring these areas can take quite a bit of time if you search out every secret, and it can be a lot of fun finding hidden items around each map.

There is very little hand-holding here, and players will have to figure out just what is what via trial and error in order to get things “right” with regards to these Quests.īesides the quests, each area contains monsters, save points, shortcuts, and of course loot, much the way Soulsborne games do, with a mini-boss or two and an overall boss of the area. And by that I mean NPCs often ask for your assistance in some manner, and it’s possible to do the wrong thing which results in outcomes you were not expecting, or desiring.

This is useful, because often you will need to complete side quests in places you’ve already been.Įach area is quite large from what I’ve seen so far, and generally contains 2 or 3 side quests that play out much like those from the Soulsborne games. Players can pick and choose where they go on the world map, exploring new areas as they complete others, and can return to areas they have already been to at any time. Players will travel to areas via their Carriage, which acts as a hub between zones when not traveling.

The world design of Pascal’s Wager lies somewhere between the Souls franchise and that of something like Nioh. If you do play, you’ll be playing for the combat, atmosphere and world building, so let me tell you a bit about those aspects of Pascal’s Wager. While the graphics themselves are nothing fancy in the grand scheme of new and shiny titles, likely because this is a PC version of a game designed for mobile devices, you likely won’t be playing the game for the graphics. In the Definitive Edition you can play Pascal’s Wager with uncapped FPS at up to 4k resolution, which is an obvious improvement over the mobile version, and probably the most compelling reason to play on PC vs Mobile (besides using a controller). The Definitive Edition just recently launched for PC via Steam on March 12th, packaged with all DLC content, and all cosmetic items for the price of 19.99. Pascal’s Wager has sold over 1 million copies across all mobile platforms, making it arguably the most successful Souls-Like mobile game ever, and potentially even the best selling Souls-Like game, period, apart from Sekiro, Bloodborne and Nioh.
