So Necropolis just came out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/384490/ I hadn't even heard of it, but it looks really interesting. Anyone picked it up and want to say some words on whether it's worth the $30? 'Randomly generated rogue-lite souls-like game' sounds right up my alley, but the combat looks a bit janky.

I'm playing Necropolis right now and really enjoying it, not sure how anyone could say it's over-promised because it's only been out for 30mins and no one could possibly be much further than me, and I'm only on the second floor. Combat is very Dark Souls-y but easy as hell because you can animation cancel with your dodge at any point of the attack animation There's unidentified loot, potions and scrolls might have some interesting effects I dunno, I've only used one which made all the nearby enemies berserk and fight each other If you're on the fence add me on Steam and you can watch me play, I have Steam Broadcast turned on. http://steamcommunity.com/id/illoso

Check it out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/300380/ Played through the single player campaign right around release and enjoyed it a lot. From the updates it looks like they've added a lot to it since then, but still no online MP. I'll likely reinstall once that's finally in place.

I just died on Floor 3 of my first Necropolist playthrough, here are my initial impressions: Combat is VERY much like dark souls and faster paced than it looks in the videos. You can animation-cancel with your dodge which it seems like not a single person who played the game prior to release figured out somehow? Or maybe it changed since the pre-release stuff Actually combat feels more like Demons Souls to me because it's slightly janky and enemies attack you in large numbers Difficulty goes up significantly on Floor 3, prior to that I barely got scratched but Floor 3 introduced new enemies that weren't victim to the same cheese tactics, they were parrying me and overwhelming me. Loot feels Roguelike-ish. Random potions/scrolls that are unid unless you identify them with an ID scroll. Some scrolls I've seen so far: One that puts the enemies in bullet time, two that make nearby enemies fight each other (one was a higher tier version of the other), heal potions, buff potions. Each weapon category (short sword, long sword, axe, etc) seems to have a unique moveset but I don't know how many there are in total. Weapons have a tier system, a tier 1 shortsword has the same basic attacks as a tier 0 shortsword but does more damage/has elemental properties. Not sure if the charge-up attacks are different because... Using special abilities/jump attacks drains your max stamina and you have to eat food to get it back, limited inventory had me stressing about how much food I was carrying Scrolls/Potions/Food take varying time to use in combat giving you the same anxious feeling * Souls does when you're low health in combat and are debating trying to use an Estus When you die you earn Tokens that can be spent on books in libraries (seem to be passive buffs of some kind but I'm not sure to what extent yet, probably things like more inventory space etc) or opening a golden chest at the start of each floor that presumably has better than average loot Possible problems I can see holding it back: Not enough variety - can't speak for this because I'm still very early but it has ramped up the complexity with each floor, could potentially be a problem but also might not be No real character development that I've seen - leveling up costs money and raises your health/stamina maximums Not sure how long it is There were initially going to be multiple classes but it seems like it's just down to one? Unless I need to unlock the others. Overall: It feels like a somewhat simple Roguelike with very Demons-souls combat which is what I wanted out of it. I'm sure it's even more fun co-op because you can 'accidentally' hit each other with your attacks. I haven't seen the alleged spellcasting system yet but I hope it's still in.

The Polygon is pretty forthright with it's weaknesses. Walking through the same cave forever with budget souls combat doesn't sound too interesting. The demos and streams made me think it was an alpha to a game that could have been good but they stopped short.

Yeah, I like it but I'm going to refund it for now and pick it up when it's on sale. I had a great time with what I played but I'm worried that people are right when they say it doesn't change, and I have a trip coming up where that $30 can be put to better use

Song of the Deep's treasure system is confusing, to me. Several times now I've gone to a space on the map where a treasure should be only to find none, float around a bit trying to find it, only for it to suddenly pop out to collect. I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen.

The videos are really weird and make it look slow because no one in them understands game mechanics like pressing the buttons on your controller, pacing is about the same as Dark Souls or a little faster. I don't understand the hate for the game, even though I refunded it, its biggest flaw is the pricetag.

I watched an hour of it on Northernlion's stream yesterday and got really hyped for the first 15 minutes or so until it started to become evident that there's very little variety. The locations don't seem different at all and the weapons, with a few exceptions, just look like minor statistical changes rather than having any actual differentiation. I've never played Dark Souls but those two things are kind of a staple of procgen/roguelike whatevers so their absence really stings in my opinion. Plus no actual bosses? At least for the first four levels. Roguelikes can be a lot deeper than they first appear so I guess I'm still gonna wait and see how this shakes out- maybe there are all sorts of secrets and stuff. But I'm pretty disappointed at the moment. on the other hand Guy Mann posted:Are they going to patch in actual texture later? the visuals loving own

Japanese Dating Sim posted:Jotun looks pretty neat, and it's $6.50 on Chrono.gg. Anyone played it? Pros: It is really gorgeous and if you're into Norse mythology there's tons and tons of little references all over the place, and exploring the levels and finding all the secrets is a lot of fun. Cons: combat is incredibly basic -- you've got a light attack and a heavy attack, both of which have pretty small range -- and that's it for melee. You also find magic spells which have limited casts. I found the combat to be either really dull and easy, against the basic enemies in the exploration stages, or frustratingly how-am-I-possibly-supposed-to-do-this difficult against the colossus-sized bosses.

It looks more like Journey to me. In any case low poly 3d with simple textures but sickass lighting is here to stay so you'd better get your heads out of your butts in assuming everything has to look photorealistic.

I still need to pickup games like Salt next sale as well.
