Hand of fate 2 is out http://store.steampowered.com/app/456670/?snr=1_5_9__205 I had a lot of issues with the first one, but it’s a really clever concept. Curious to see if they improved the gripes I had.

rodbeard posted:Is that even a roguelike? I'm not familiar with the series I'm just going off of the screenshots. It's a roguelite, mostly in story-structure. i.e. you build "dungeons" randomly, resources are limited, and it's highly skill-based - you die easily if you're bad at the game.

I'd say not even a rougelite, more like a board game/tabletop RPG broken up by ARPG combat encounters. The original owned.

Dead Cells: Holy hell, the new Clock Tower does not gently caress around. it's tier 5, alternate exit for FjordIt's to Forgotten Sepulchre what Prison Depths is to the rest of the other third tier zones by far. I haven't got to try the rest of the new content yet; still dying too much. I've beaten Watcher twice before, so I'm sure I'll see it soon enough. Rusty I guess! The new stat system has already seen a beefy rebalance since it hit the beta branch.

Streets of Rogue I can no longer take seriously. It was kind of sold to me as a Deus Ex type "choose your own way of completing mission" type of a game and you do get quite a bit of options. But... I just unlocked "The Jock" character. He has a sprint you can't control that damages enemies and breaks walls. Now it's a "run through walls and hordes of people like a loving freight train and piss off everyone in the level" type of a game. Everyone starts shooting and punching and they keep hitting each other and get pissed off at each other. It turns into total free-for-all mayhem. Glorious.

Streets of Rogue is a treasure and has a lot of the fun variety spirit of some older games, and I wish it a long content development and sudden popularity

Black August posted:Streets of Rogue is a treasure and has a lot of the fun variety spirit of some older games, and I wish it a long content development and sudden popularity Not empty quoting. I really like playing the doctor. Your special ability is sneaking behind people and cloroforming them. BUT you can't use any weapons, which forces you to think creatively about how to approach your objectives. Like putting things in the vents, forcing someone outside, and then knocking them out. Or rushing in, freeing the gorilla and then running away while the gorilla goes to town.

I like that all scientists instinctively hate gorillas. That makes playing as the gorilla hilarious.

Dancer posted:Can you write a starter guide because I put this on my phone a week ago but I'm still lost. If LCS qualifies as a roguelike then it is the only one I've won multiple times. I'm going off of memory but I'll give you some newbie tips: Be a mastermind and don't personally commit a lot of crime. They can't pin crimes on you if you let your loyal agents do all the dirty work. At the beginning recruit Hippies from the Vegan Co-op. They are very easy to recruit since they by default are Liberal. Cash: Legal income is generally low and includes selling t-shirts, performing on the street, and shilling for donations. These are skill based for the first two, and reputation based on the last. Selling brownies by the way is illegal because of course they are pot brownies. A reliable cash flow is breaking into the Projects and stealing and fencing the loot you find at the Pawn Shop. Keep in mind these are crimes. Later, you can use sleeper agents to embezzle money from where they work. Like from, say, a bank. You can also use them to facilitate a bank heist. Good luck with that, I've only succeeded in a bank heist a handful of times. The Homeless Shelter sucks. Move your base as soon as you are able to afford something else. A good way to level up combat is to bust into the Genetics Lab and murder mutants. They aren't people so killing them isn't a crime. Don't linger since security is human. You can always come back. Sleeper agents are the keys to influencing public opinion efficiently. Therefore, train an agent in seduction and/or persuasion so you can turn high level conservatives. Now the big complex issue I grappled with was Heat. When you commit crimes, the offender accrues Heat, based on the crime. Selling (pot) brownies or spraying graffiti won't grant you much, but going on a murder spree or committing treason will shoot it way up. For some reason Heat works literally; it is transferred from the offender to the location they're laying low in. When a location has enough Heat it is raided by the police or worse. So compartmentalize your high crime unit from, say, where you publish your newspaper. If you have a sleeper cop they will actually tell you when a raid will occur and where. You can then move everyone out of that location and the police will raid an empty building.

Once you get into it LCS is very fun and hilarious. There's a chance (or you can start a game in this state) that the issue of free speech is turned ultra conservative. In that state, the fire department becomes the Firemen, jerks armed with flamethrowers tasked with dealing with unacceptable speech a la Fahrenheit 451. There's also a UI change: Anytime the game has to describe something vaguely vulgar (such as what you say when seducing someone) it will be censored. "Hey how about you and I [go watch a G Rated movie]? "Oh my god." This also applies to the otherwise graphic descriptions of combat.

My favorite part of LCS is when you have someone with terrible social skills attempt to persuade or seduce somebody, and they say something completely inane like "Do you want to hear something disturbing? Rush Limbaugh once ate a baby live on TV!  "

The only thing I dont like about LCS is the kind of weird MUD style movement, but its excusable since thats actually a really small part of the game.

Lmao I just had a level generate with zombie holocaust and two huge pools filled with giantiser serum. The level turned into giant zombie hordes rampaging through entire blocks of buildings like they were paper. Then some civilians started getting huge too and soon there were mega police and turbo bartenders fighting against equally enormous zombies. The amount of mayhem in that game has no limit. 9/10 inventory management could be better somehow I guess.

Looks somewhat interesting, I like the card game presentation, but the combat looks so boring. Its another game that surrounds you with like 20 enemies but they all take turns hitting you 1 by 1 so its never actually dangerous.

The first one had that problem too, and the only time combat was difficult was when you had to fight a bunch of really bullshit enemies at once or when there were a ton of traps continuously going off in the arena. Or both.
