Hub Cat posted:Cruelty Squad is a genuinely fun retro shooter that draws inspiration from games like Deus Ex with an aesthetic that's going to be utterly repellent to 90% of people. If you're interested in playing a weird rear end 90s Cyber fever dream retro shooter that lets you complete levels in a variety of ways its great fun but if you think you're going to be turned off by the aesthetic or the soundtrack you should probably go with your gut and skip it. I see they've added fishing.

Making my way through Halo. It's a nice historical trip into early console FPS, but... ...please tell me The Library was the worst of it; please tell me I don't have to suffer through any more levels like that...

The good news is that yes, the Library is the worst of it and the rest of the game is better. The bad news is that there are more Halo games! Even better news is that Reach has no bad levels, so just play Reach! My friends and I are going to play some good old L4D2 tomorrow. I haven't played in... let's see, my last achievement is dated 8/21/12. Kind of a longshot asking here in 2021, but are there any must-have mods? The workshop page is... not helpful to browse.

I'm confused, there's a Persona 5 coming out on Steam but it's a different Persona 5 to the one that came out on console a year or two back, but features the same characters from that game, but the original Persona 5 still isn't available on Steam?

It's a musou spinoff, set after the original game. As in, the Dynasty Warriors games. They make them for lots of different things, off the top of my head there are Berserk, One Piece, and Dragon Quest musous on steam. They vary wildly in quality, I haven't heard whether the Persona 5 one is good or not (it hasn't been released outside japan).

Ahh okay, thanks, I've never played any musou game but every time I see a video of one in action it never looks like the type of thing I'd enjoy.... which really sucks, because goddamn I would love a proper One Piece game. Somebody just re-skin Assassin's Creed Odyssey, dammit

rt4 posted:Is Cruelty Squad an actual fun game or are the favorable Steam reviews just dumb meme poo poo? I really like it, but it's more of a "boomer shooter" with a splash of deus ex elements than the other way around. It's entirely up to you if you can stomach the intentionally abrasive graphics and sound, but for me I found them cohesive enough with the small bits of lore in the game that it felt like a good fit.

Somebody just re-skin Assassin's Creed Odyssey, dammit Strikers is definitely the loosest interpretation of a "musou game" out of all the musou spin-off games that have been released. It's probably better described as an action-RPG side story to Persona 5, with some combat mechanics that will feel familiar if you've played a lot of musou games.

Are there any non-deckbuilding card games out there on Steam? I'm talking stuff like Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Necronator, and even stuff like The Dungeon Beneath (which is mostly the same system just without being explicitly cards). I enjoy the style of games but I can never play them too long because I hate the random nature of building up a deck. Something like Slay the Spire only you start each run choosing a deck theme (like Armor Ironclad) and you'd get fewer card draws as you progress but each time you do it's specific to that theme. Or just starting with a pre-assigned deck and in-game awards are only relics and money to be spent on consumables and stat refills.

It's basically a jrpg to StS's roguelike. You find cards like you would equipment, always have the same number of cards in your deck, and can change your deck composition basically whenever. As far as I know, there's no outside of combat randomness at all.

Or just starting with a pre-assigned deck and in-game awards are only relics and money to be spent on consumables and stat refills. Card Quest might be exactly what you're looking for. It plays in a way that will feel similar to StS but instead of building a deck in-run, you unlock new equipment for future runs, and each piece of equipment represents like 5 cards or so (been a while since I've played) that will go in your starting deck. There are "relic" equivalents and passive perks that your character gets in-run, but your deck is pretty much the same at the beginning and end of the game. edit: they literally just announced today that they're resuming development after a year+ hiatus, too.

There's also Card Hunter, which has a system similar to Steamworld Quest plus a tactical board component. I'm not sure how much the F2P components have taken over in the years since release, though... Pathfinder Adventures is a digital edition of a tabletop card game in which you upgrade your character's decks permanently as you progress through the campaign. The system has some weird gamey components, though, and it's not as well-tuned as StS. Gloomhaven deck upgrading is non-randomized and slow, but the game is the gold standard for card-driven tactical combat. The digital edition is coming along nicely and has a randomly-generated campaign system, but the tabletop version's narrative campaign with hand-designed scenarios hasn't been implemented yet.

Has anyone tried Strikers? It looks awesome, but I've never gotten into dynasty warriors and I'm worried it'll have that same feel where it's fun for 30-60 minutes, then it's another 59 hours of the same thing.

When Bloodlines 2 was announced I remember thinking that its going to be great seeing people learn from the good and the bad from the original and give us a polished, modern version of it, and yet everything about the production since the middle of last year has only hinted that its been a complete disaster lol I'm looking forward to the stories about where it all went wrong.

I don’t think it’s released outside of Japan yet. I have it preordered because Steam completely short circuits my impulse control, so I’ll probably post some updates tomorrow when I can play it. E: oh hey I guess it unlocked at midnight, not 1pm.

If I understand correctly what you want, you might enjoy System Crash or Card City Nights. You decide what cards are in your deck before combat and earn more through gameplay. I enjoyed both.

The footage released for it really didn't make the game look that bad, so I'd be interested to know what the actual state of it was at that point and what exactly they've spent so long redesigning. It can't just be story revisions and some tech issues at this point.

Strikers is very good, but definitely go in with the expectation that you're playing a Persona game with musou elements rather than a full Dynasty Warriors sort of deal. It's also a sequel and wastes no time recapping the original, so it probably won't do much for you if you haven't already played P5.

My go-to card game is Spectromancer which at this point will probably run on a potato. You want the 'Gathering of Power' DLC which I think contains the other ones. It has a custom deck function I haven't played with. Basically you get five rows of abilities - air, earth, fire, water, and one specific to your class, like demon summoning or chronomancy or beasts. Precisely which abilities are available in each duel changes every time - not sure if it's randomized or specific to each opponent. You earn points in each row every round to spend on summoning creatures, Magic style. After every duel you can choose to improve a card, or maybe you get a trinket for more life or something. It tells you what you'll get before you go into the battle. It's very simple and old-fashioned these days but I do like it. Still does the ancient thing where you have to activate the product codes in the launcher.
