So no one's mentioned it, but this collection http://store.steampowered.com/sub/47304/ is on sale for cheap, and includes the latest reissue of Space Rangers 2 (A War Apart), which is a super awesome game. It also includes a few other much crappier games. So if you don't own the latest Space Rangers 2, now is the time.

Evil Mastermind posted:Achievements and workshop, duh. Developers posted:Well, actually sadly the answer is more complicated. Once the game was greenlit we found out that unless we charged something up front, or sold items "in game" we would not be allowed to use certain steam features (this is our first game on steam, and the first time we gained access to the publisher backend). So, not ever wanting to have "in game purchases" we decided on a very very low initial cost, but then letting us leverage the cool stuff like Trading Cards & Cloud Saves (even the "Community Edition" / what was the free edition) will cloud save your characters and bones).

I looked at that 1C Bundle and uh, I sure thought Star Wolves 3 was pretty bad. I couldn't imagine playing the prequels, I can only assume they're even rougher. Both of those UFO games are pretty fuckin wacky as well, Jade Star demonstrated that well enough. Is Space Rangers really that good?

Star Wolves 1 is actually incredible. 2 and 3 are nowhere near as good ( 2 or 3, I can't remember which )/actually really bad ( the other one ). And then yes, Space Rangers is the best.

So "Rogue-like" games on steam are a horribly mixed bunch. I loving love FTL and Binding of Isaac. Even when I lose in those games it rarely feels flat out unfair, in the case of FTL usually it was just a bad choice or in isaac I just got hit too much. When I win, it feels fun because I beat a hard game. Liking these I tend to consider suggestions for rogue-likes when people compare them to those two which has led to me buying a lot of games that are not good. Maybe I'm wrong for assuming otherwise, but apparently "rogue-like" to most people just means flat out unfair because most of the ones on steam that I've played just sort of flip you off and can be unwinnable from the get-go. Maybe I'm just bad at those games in particular, but it never felt like I could have done anything different in the situations I was in and when I'm dying in the first stage because the game gave me nothing but healing items and I couldn't even fight back against enemies. It just feels hosed up.

FTL is exactly that sort of middle-finger roguelike though because a lot of the game especially on harder difficulties revolves around hoping you don't get a bad event early game or you manage to get the right combination of weapons.

Pierson posted:Marvel Heroes has a little of that old D2 flavour as well because to get gear you basically run the same corridor+boss over and over for that perfect drop, rather than something interesting like D3 that has escalation and bigger numbers and is just more fun generally. There's a big raid you run once a week and some smaller oneshots and a whole bunch of other stuff that disguises it but you see a LOT of certain bosses (hi Kurse, Taskmaster). There's a lot I love about MH but it needs something like the D3 rifts/PoH maps. MH isn't a very deep and interesting but its alright on poo poo to collect. Christ that game has a monstrous variety of tiny things to farm up. Itemization is that games weakest point compared to D3/PoE where various uniques can drastically change how a character build. Production quality on the the game is alright, and it does offer some spectacle. But it's sorta a game I pop back on every 3-6 months to check out what changes have piled over time.

Red Mundus posted:Wait if I just want space rangers I have to pay $16 BUT if I buy the whole pack it's $7? What? The pack bears the terrible opportunity cost of cluttering your Steam library with questionable Russian games from the mid-2000's. That's why I took a second look and uh, there is an Asteroid 2D shooter part in Space Rangers? Can you skip/ignore that? Also why would they do that, is trading, command&conquer and text adventures not enough?

FZeroRacer posted:FTL is exactly that sort of middle-finger roguelike though because a lot of the game especially on harder difficulties revolves around hoping you don't get a bad event early game or you manage to get the right combination of weapons. Yeah but how it feels is a bigger part of that. I always feel like I could have avoided whatever killed me if I'd picked another path, or if I'd chosen another star I might have gotten a new gun. It doesn't feel, to me at least, that the game is stacked completely against the player just for that reason alone. Princey posted:What ones have you tried that you didn't like? Most recently was "Coin Crypt" which someone talked up a bunch in one of the PYF topics and it sounded pretty cool. But the example of getting nothing but healing items was straight from this game, there were so many situations where before I'd even finished the first area I had no way to deal with enemies because the game just didn't give me any opportunity to get any offensive coins.
