Picked up Death Must Die, it's pretty good. It's funny, the nature of this genre means that you run out of new dialogue way faster than in Hades. Kinda wish it had an auto-aim mode like HoT, but it actually does pay to start and stop attaching so you can move faster, especially with the fire girl.

Soulstone Survivors has improved a lot since the last time I played with the addition of the passive skill tree to every character that adds additional mechanics to each one.

Soulstone Survivors suffers from having way too many currencies and resources to juggle like Scarlet Tower, I feel like. Just grinding for the sake of grinding to get a slight % increase in gigantic passive trees.

Helluva soundtrack, I think I loved all the tracks except the Area 2 track (I heard it a lot before finally learning how to make builds that can consistently survive lol) and the final boss themes are so goddamned good

It's true that it has a lot of currencies but at the same time is not really a problem or an important enough problem because the way to get them is just playing in different maps and getting to X wave. Also is true the tree has a lot of small % increases but a lot of things that can really change the gameplay with the runes and most of the time you can push really quickly to those game changing nodes or make it easier to get the achievements that unlock things. The game has it's problems but it's a lot better than it used to be.

Soulstone's passive trees are neat but its still dodge simulator the game and that makes me not want to put anymore time in it. The devs said they would eventually address this too though.

I got turned off Soulstone because you can't see poo poo because all the SFX, but also you need to dodge so you actually need to see poo poo.

They have made great changes and options to visibility. It deserves another chance but there is still a lot of dodging. I still love it though so ymmv.

If you really like the feel of skating around an arena dodging big area attacks then you'll enjoy it. If not, you probably won't I enjoy it but my hands can't manage that level of intensity for very long Re: visuals: I leave them on when I'm using a new weapon to get a feel for the shape of it, but turn them down more and more over the course of match until fully transparent at the end. Don't want anything getting in the way of reacting to those attack markers

Soulstone Survivor is a game wherein you play the biggest coward in the universe, forever running away from your fearsome foes, Red Circle and Red Bar. There's some other guff on screen, but you cant see it or even understand what it is, because Red Circle is coming! Run away! Eventually, you get some crystals, which helps you run away faster - but ever are Red Circle and Red Bar on your heels.

Just got Halls of Torment, it's a fun time, but wow, the first level boss is surprisingly brutal, just died to it twice(making it to the boss with ~75% health as Archer the second time) after beating the second level on the first attempt. e: turns out the boss is not a match for the Cleric and their Holy Sceptre; getting a Radiant Aura that could do >10k damage in one hit helped a lot too.

This makes it even better for me tbh, ty Just gotta figure out how to mod the Benny Hill theme to kick in whenever I crank up to 100% transparency

Yeah I don't really dig SS for that reason, the fact that their solution to 'you literally can't loving see anything' with upgraded skills was 'just turn them all off lol' is a total failure of design

I picked VS back up since I got the Among Us DLC for christmas and I'm having a hard time finding the Directer. I was using the Imposter on inverse hyper library, holding Peachone and Ebony Wings and went as far left as I could in 30 minutes. I did spend some time getting the stuff on the right, but I don't think that should have made that much of a difference. Do I need to be using a base VS character, or maybe the bird that starts with both bird weapons? Do I need Vanadier? Did I just somehow not go far enough left?

Though speaking of the DLC - anyone else feel like a good chunk of the evos are loving insane? I've taken to grabbing Lifesign Scan when I need a flex option because Paranormal Scan snowballs the gently caress out of you. Then either Emergency Button or Unjust Ejection if I need to kill a lot with low effort.

I feel like the DLC weapons are slow starters. They need a fair bit of investment to get off the ground though once they do they're great. Unless you're talking about the DLC map in which case all bets are off because it is hilariously easy to go insane on that map.

In case you don't know, on the first level, follow the blood trail that you find south of the start to both ends and do the little events there. If you do both, it'll severely reduce that boss's HP.

haven't played vampire survivors, though I did wind up buying it for later. grabbed Holocure because I've heard a lot about that, and am having a great time with it. music is phenomenal, graphics are solid, and the price is as good as it can be. in fact, I'm actually kind of angry that Kay Yu refuses to accept any sort of money in any way, even donations, for the game. there's lots of fangames or small simple games on steam that are free but have, like, a "tip jar DLC" that is just like, some art or the soundtrack, but is mostly a way to give the dev some money, but Kay Yu has adamantly refused anything for it and I don't like it aced my first run with Ame, Bubba is just an absolutely ludicrous thing that buzzes around the screen exploding enemies and collecting loot, maxed out he's totally broken.  haven't been able to beat the second stage yet, tried a few runs so far and get really far but either gently caress up or just don't have the out-of-gameplay upgrades and unlocks necessary to survive things like Mikodanye. and I had a ridiculous run going with multiple Collab upgrades, but then I gave in to hubris and took this:  and then about 20 seconds after this screenshot, I was massacred by giant batterymen  great game, haven't unlocked anyone new, been pouring my cash into base stat upgrades. might try vampire survivors sometime but this is doing pretty well for me as is. I like the visuals and music more than VS's at least from what I've seen of that.

 HoloCure is great, glad you enjoy it. If you vibe with the graphics, I strongly suggest Halls of Torment too. Brotato and Boneraiser Minions are also top notch but they're slightly different takes on the same genre: Brotato goes for much more intense, wave-based runs with tons of weapon combos, while Boneraiser Minions has A TON of content and class variety and it's mostly about having your minions do the killing while you focus on avoiding enemies.

MMAgCh posted:Pretty sure this is due to whatever terms the Hololive company stipulates including that the developer is not allowed to make money off the game in any way. That was part of it at first, certainly, but they recently came out with a program that allowed the creators of fangames to actually monetize them. The REAL reason, as Kay Yu himself has said, is that he wants Holocure to remain a passion project. His first and last concern is how happy he is with the game. Once he starts earning money from it, even if it's just in the form of optional donations, it starts feeling less like a hobby and more like a job, with all the stress and obligations that entails.

This secret for some reason won't show up until you've reached the end credits of the game, which might be your issue, it was for me. While the character unlock appears in the character menu, the associated entry in the secrets menu is not there yet. Also, you have to go East.

lmao Path of Survivors was the game that used the sprites from Duelyst wholesale, I completely forgot about that. Wild that Duelyst's files are open source so you have like two different Duelyst games + stuff like this.
