Potent update, with the next big Big due to be v1.0----I like how, despite both projects winding up having to take the scenic route...it is once again an incidental race to the finish line for both Scarlet Tower and Spellbook: Demonslayers.

And it was freezing on my series x with limit break on. Just a funny little 2d game grinding Microsoft's flagship gaming system to a halt.

thumbs down on Scarlet Tower after trying for awhile, this patch added a mountain of systems bloat that feels wildly undercooked, and some of it is so labyrinthine it'd be at home in some MMO where you're optimizing your dps by 0.5% for a raid, not trying to clear screens of mooks in a VS clone HoT got a tuning patch though, so imma go try that instead, HoT feels way better to me

Yeah Scarlet Tower has some great vfx but other than that ehhhhhhh they really went overboard with the systems in this update I feel. You have perks, faction trait and also loyalty points which have different effects on each faction trait. It's just a lot and there is no easy way to see whar's what.

Coming in the distant future of: Tomorrow Wanted Shadows https://store.steampowered.com/app/2491670/Wanted_Shadows/ quote:Decimate thousands of demons on All Hallows' Eve to protect your infernal home. Wanted Shadows is a bullet heaven roguelite where the difference between overpowering and being overpowered lies in your skill and wit. Gone are the days when only one other project or so is cited, thus a year from now the bibliography should come to take up at least as much Steam page as the features and description combined~

This actually seems to have been introduced with the new engine. Even on mobile, I was able to complete a run with Sammy using the cats as my only weapon. After the update, it turns into a slideshow in the first couple of minutes of a run before crashing completely on my desktop. In truth, it doesn't really matter that much. Sammy is a gimmick character who completely breaks the games with a couple specific arcanas. It isn't really an edge case, but it's also pretty unimportant to the overall enjoyment of the game.

I tried the demo for that one. It seems like your weapon slots are based off of your party members. So I wasn't able to get a second weapon until a party member pop up on the map, and then halfway through the clock I already max level all my available upgrades because I only had four things to actually upgrade, my two weapons and the passives (which in this game are your party member's levels themselves)... I quickly got bored at the lack of choices, let myself died, and check the meta progression menu because I had a sneaking suspicion and yep it turns out that is were you raise your party limit. Don't think I am buying this one.

ExiledTinkerer posted:EA apparently started a couple months back, but the updates seem to accrued/and recently to promising eventual ends for Elemental Survivors: I played several rounds of this yesterday and its alright, if a little easy right from the start. The character unlocking can be a bit cryptic, with many being ‘buy and wear this specific item in the shop on this specific stage to have a chance that the locked character appears in the town on that stage’. The side quest unlocks per stage are also things like ‘beat that specific stage with these three specific members in your party’. You really need to check the secrets tab to know what you need to do, but the secrets tab isn’t arranged by level so you need to scroll through several pages looking for the right level name or the silhouette of the thing you’re trying to unlock. Overall decent. Not top tier but if you’re looking for a VS clone with this aesthetic you could do worse

ive played some more of these drat Games: fatalzone - very professional looking but a little thin on content right now, if they actually update it and it doesnt die like 50% of these it could end up being great monsters til midnight - i like this one quite a lot, it has a consistent art style, nice presentation, and a few innovations that a lot of these dont bother with. the maps are more detailed (the first one is a big mansion) and have some geometry beyond being a flat plane, which I like because it changes up the flow of just running around in a big circle. now you run around in a circle through some rooms. there are also monster spawners and such that spawn, and you get an active ability that you can swap out for other ones when you destroy a spawner shrine thingy. also one of the characters is a dog in a suit jacket slime 3k - this has great art and presentation and some pretty fun weapons, and seemingly a fair amount to unlock. It varies a fair amount from the base formula in ways i have yet to determine whether they are good or bad. edit: that raining hellfire game describe above is really fun. it's kind of like a more elaborate version of the more elaborate VS maps, where you run around and do things and pay to open new routes and buy new guns and upgrades. There's a shitload of guns and melee weapons and they feel pretty good. you can slice enemies in half and such which makes the weapons feel more distinct in their effects. juggalo baby coffin fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 4, 2023 |

The underrated, especially after the final big updates, and Adjacent, Gunlocked is getting a spiritual successor in the early part of the coming year that looks Quite A Treat: Boons & Burdens https://store.steampowered.com/app/2646120/Boons__Burdens/ quote:Boons & Burdens is a single player, action-roguelike, bullet heaven set in the depths of a hellish dimension. Battle hordes of demons through 13 levels of evil, collect magical gems to purchase powerful boons, and unlock your true potential as one of many wizards. But beware! The path to power requires sacrifice. Each level requires you to choose a new burden that transforms the difficulty. Become the paragon of ultimate power, or the architect of your own downfall, and watch it all unfold in richly detailed, over-the-top pixel art.
