Insurmountable comes out on Thursday. It's another loving procedurally generated roguelike. Wait! Look here before you dip out. Didn't expect that, right? Me neither. As one of the many goons who became fascinated with how hosed up mountain climbing is from the old Everest thread in GBS, a mountaineering roguelike both seems like something that should already exists and something that could actually be kind of cool. The UI looks like a phone game though, which doesn't fill me with confidence.

Insurmountable was okay, but it lacks something to give the gameplay a little punch. You move around the terrain in a tile system, trying to preserve your body heat, oxygen, energy and health, etc by picking the better paths, and you stop by events that either help or sabotage your stat bars. It's like the non combat portion of something like FTL. Chill, but not exciting. I don't have the patience for it, and only recommend it if you have a particular interest for climbing. Now to see if R-Type Final 2 holds up. It's been ages since last they made one of those. It's out tomorrow on more or less everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pluqUkjZycQ Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Apr 29, 2021 |

Legend of Keepers: Career of a Dungeon Manager came out of early access. It plays like a reverse Darkest Dungeon with locational skills and everything. You're the boss encounter and also recruit, train and play as minions. The point is to whittle down the heroes enough to end their run before they kill you, and then you have to rotate out your minions so they can recover from having their asses handed to them. I've been playing it since yesterday, and the title is the only bad thing about it. It's a really fun.

The first room can do decent damage to the heroes before going down, but you need a big enough roster that you can match elemental resistances to their damage, and a leveled up tank in the most attacked position. Sjs00 posted:Are fully upgraded frog damage traps still strong in Legend of Keepers? Thats how I remember playing the EA version I don't know, but frog traps do fixed damage as opposed to the %life damage from burn or frostbite, so it would be weird if they were better. I'm playing with all the difficulty sliders maxed because XCOM did funny things to my gaming habits though, so the stats might be different. The game holds up well on the hardest mind. I'm only past stage 1 on one master, but there's great variety in what sort of champions you have to beat and what kind of roster you can field. You also get the miniboss room halfway through the run, which I assume is a later stage thing. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 17:39 on May 4, 2021 |

If you get lucky with hero composition vs monster composition you can tank some of their hits pretty well. A lot of it boils down to matching resistances vs where the heroes are going to attack imo.

You also get the miniboss room halfway through the run, which I assume is a later stage thing. Poison & Wound are interesting in that the fixed damage they deal scale with how many stacks of poison/wound they have (5 damage for every stack they have, I believe). So if you have a lot of things that poison then the frog statue is great but otherwise you might be better off going with something different.

I am tempted to pick that game back up but I played thru it several times in EA and watched my favorite streamer run thru it too so I am waiting until they really add new content because as of right now I probably know all the best synergies already E the game is amazing, is what im saying.
