Really interested to see how the different enemies will work.

Posted at 16:49h, 06 JulyI like the idea of more animal designs (1, 3, 7, and 8). Like nature willing itself into anthropomorphizm to kill its prey. Jason Voorhees must simply go and never be seen again.

Posted at 17:36h, 06 JulyMy favorites have got to be 3, 4, and 6.

Posted at 17:39h, 06 JulyLooks very nice! Fits in the game theme perfectly!

Posted at 19:33h, 06 JulyI like 7. Reminds me of Silent Hill monsters.

Posted at 19:42h, 06 JulyI’d like it if 6 had the stuff that was growing out of 8.

Posted at 00:37h, 07 JulyI have to say i prefer more humanoid characters than monster like creatures..I know Senua views them as monstruous but if the enemies look too diferent than a human i feel she would at some point realize she isn’t seeing clearly. I believe you should make the enemies more realistic like enemy #6 and #7.
Will you also add some of the previous enemies? Because you already had some pretty cool looking ones.
Keep it up!

Posted at 03:27h, 07 JulyWow. These are incredible!
All of these are visually stunning but I LOVE numbers 3 + 8.
Great work!

Posted at 07:20h, 07 JulyThey all look fitting for someone with a mind that´s visualizing your foes as monsters.

Posted at 11:10h, 07 JulyI love all of them but my favorites are: 3,6,7

Posted at 14:45h, 07 JulyI like 7 & 8 the most.

Posted at 15:33h, 07 Julylike to see some chainmail armours like that in the previous charaters, more viking like.

Posted at 23:41h, 07 JulyI am fascinated by these. Could you Ninjas tell us a little more about your vision for the enemies’ appearance? I can use my imagination to guess at reasons for why they look the way they do but perhaps a little more context would help us as players see them as more than just monsters. I understand the Viking trauma but are the animal aspects something to do with her culture or encounters shes had or to be symbols of fear or something else? On another note, these pictures remind of the interview with Francis Bacon on your last update and how he portrayed people in his art, so to me it seems like these enemies are similar to Bacon’s paintings but through Senua’s eyes which I think is interesting. All in all I like where you’re going. You’re sparking my imagination.

Posted at 23:48h, 07 JulyI love 2, 4, and 8.

Posted at 08:43h, 08 July5 looks like a worse version of 6, 4 looks kinda generic and 2 appears to be using the same weapon as 8, despite having a much smaller body? Other than that, the silhouettes look very distinguishable and avoid falling into the “dude in armour” trap that other action games like Dark Souls 2 suffer from. Nice job.

Posted at 13:15h, 08 July3 and 8 are my favourites. They have the most recognizable silhouettes, look unnatural, but still feel real in some way.
Pablo
Posted at 16:11h, 08 JulyReally awesome, they look like as dead vikings of Helheim as nightmares who are searching someone to kill him…
I like the idea of the nature and the animals, the wood sticks looks great !
Jack
Posted at 19:18h, 08 July3 and 4 are my favourites, with 6 and 8 after that. The rest are cool but 1 and 7 with their faces covered just seems odd, much prefer the animal mask approach, and 2 seems a little too normal compared to the cooler animal vibe of the others 😀
Noel
Posted at 02:59h, 09 JulyThese are just thumbnails so i can’t really judge. It does look a little to fantastical.
The flamehead and horse guard have a nice balance of grounded and supernatural.

Posted at 16:57h, 13 JulyMy favourite is 6, a quick glance at the creature/monster it appears as if it is coming towards you! I see it with a complete dark background with only it’s form slightly visible. The monster could be fear itself, as we are visualising it’s physical features with our own existing fears.
Warren
Posted at 19:09h, 14 JulyMy fav’s are 3 4 and 8 I imagine a kind of rooting attack from monster 4. Then him charging you like a bull while you try to escape the root before he can reach you. I like the way he looks like an earth element. A cool fire element attack could be something like ripping off his own head and throwing it at you like a fire ball (Yes I know there is no fire element looking thing here… just an idea) You could even do a beast with like a frog-like head that had two attacks .. one with a long tongue that poisons you and one where if he like turns around sprays you with a poison gas cloud … ooooo the possibilities….. LOL

Posted at 20:26h, 14 JulyNice new direction of enemy vision. Yet it step pretty much away from the original Vikings concept. I’m okay with that if you’ll save the AWESOME music that you’ve already made with Combichrist.
As someone mentioned above – it’s very impressive feeling of nature rising against human. I think it gives you much more possibilities than vikings 🙂 You can make enemies much more variable, elemental even. Maybe add something like the Witcher 3 tried to achieve – you need to learn your enemy before the fight.
Damn I’ve finished typing and saw that Warren stated exact same thing I did. But hey that’s a good thing I guess since we all starting to think alike in this issue

Posted at 15:32h, 15 July3, 5, 7, and 8 are my favorites. I’d love to see any of them in-game, though. These designs are awesome.

Posted at 12:59h, 17 JulyI love how, due to this ´cancer of the mind´, whereof she suffers from hallucinations and an altered perception her surroundings, you sorta incorporated it in the enemies. They´re not just scary looking monster but looks like a combination of her surroundings and the grotesque figures of the enemy.
Eda
Posted at 10:56h, 23 JulyI can’t wait to backstab 1, 2, 7 and 8.
Sam Konsic
Posted at 12:40h, 18 February8 creature shuld be in the game.
