Blood, sweat, and tears went into the forging of this terrible pun.

No one wants a bloody forge. Gets all in the metal and makes it hard to cut stuff.

Oh god the shakycam.

This is probably the closest I've gotten to feeling a little motion sick.

I kind of like the comic book-y style to some of the effects but other than that this game is unpleasant to look at.

Is the title some sort of euphemism for childbirth?

Oh God, that camera. More like "Vomitforge," amirite?

Even lower, it looks like a poor man's Dante's Inferno.

EDIT: Though frankly, it more resembles a crappy DMC than God of War.

I have never gotten motion sick playing a videogame or watching someone else play. This is coming very close to making me feel that way. Also, it looks terrible in every way. Fuck this game.

This is the kind of crap that makes people embarrassed to say that they play videogames.

Also, it looks like shit.

Man, I love how bloody the ground gets. Other than that it looks not very enjoyable. Camera looks fine, I prefer faster cameras, but I think this would benefit from maybe a more overhead camera. The tilt/shake was fine and I never felt uneasy though.

EDIT: This game looks nuts, I kinda dig the style. It's so far to the ridiculously metal side of the spectrum that it stops seeming like its just trying to be edgy and seems like something a Norwegian death metal band would make. Which I am totally in to. That head thing was gross.

First video I've ever gotten so nauseous watching I had to stop. Now my eyes feel weird.

That's after 19 minutes.

Eh, this doesn't look terrible. Not great, just a bit generic. I kind of like the art style on some of the characters, that boss had a lovely looking skullgina.

Also I agree with Jeff that slashing is better than crushing. However in Dead Island the blunt weapons were pretty satisfying when you broke a zombie's arm.

I hate to trash on games because I respect all game creators for their hard work, but this game does not look the least bit interesting. I'm going to pass for sure.

So much production value in this. They even put masks on everyone to avoid matching the mouth to the voices.

Dante's Inferno and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are by no means great games and hell i still got some enjoyment out of them.
This looks actively bad.
