StrixNebulosa posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/346820/Crash_Drive_3/ Very simple, basic little driving game with a few different areas, tons of huge jumps and some secrets on the map. Also features various different games and contests. I don't think it's great, hitting the jumps is okay for a while but it all gets old quite quickly. Anyways I got a couple more as well:  Claire De Lune is a piece for piano by Debussy but also a video game where the title is a bit of a play on words. It's kind of a first person puzzler/platformer with a bit of combat. Apparently it's from a former Bioshock 2 lead programmer. quote:Claire de Lune is a story-driven puzzle adventure game set in a grounded science fiction universe.  Age of Grit is a mostly text-based steampunk airship adventure where you pilot your airship with the help of your crew around The West. I found this one a bit frustrating honestly because the first three fights I did were essentially unbeatable. I may have made a mistake though since the tutorial seemed to want to make me meet someone specific but I wasn't able to figure out how so I just started travelling to the nearest town. As far as a general structure I thought it was pretty good, there's an overworld map, you can visit towns and specific people in them, and there's a reasonably engaging turn based combat system (although both ships basically take their turns concurrently). This is Early Access. quote:In this story focused RPG you play as the infamous Jebediah Rockwell, the captain of a beat-up, steam-powered airship. You and your crew will adventure across a vast, Wild West inspired steampunk world. Try your hand at bounty hunting, running guns, smuggling contraband–’bout anything to pay the bills, keep the guns loaded, the boiler stoked, and keep your ship in the sky!

I got to this part of ff12 last night but all told, i still believe in ondore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSyfGm6wXgs I've got Ashe in the party, presumably adding Penolo back soon, but now I'm struggling to figure out a party composition with the SFF mod classes. Ashe especially I don't get what her thing is supposed to be. Basch is Paladin, melee weapons, armour, support magic, ez. Vaan's a sky pirate, slashy stealy boy. Fran, blackmage/archer, simple enough. Balthier is a bit weird, he can wield guns, spears... or a compass? Measuring device? Haven't encountered any yet and don't know what they're for. Ashe's class is just called "princess" and the job has shitloads of magic, white/arcane/green/tiime/black, but basically no magic power licenses. No, no, she needs that room for all of the drat weapons. Swords n shield, Crossbows, Maces, Katanas, axes, Magic sticks, like, too many. She also has heavy armour and mystic armour and maybe something else. It's odd, the other freedom jobs or struggle path equivalents seemed to have a pretty clear design to them, but "Princess" seems like a mess. Went to bed just about when I unlocked her, not sure how to build her or kit her out. I went through the job board foolishly picking up a ton of magic stuff and HP, really just not knowing which weapon route to take. Gave her crossbow for the time being. So far mostly been using vaan/fran/basch. but if i reckon ill ultimately want to play with ashe/fran/penolo, but i don't know how her sff "dancer" job is yet, I'm hoping she can tank like I was hoping Basch would do but doesn't. How does aggro work in this game? Is it just "target Fran"

New games:  Billion Beat is a modern punch-out clone with some new ideas and .... interesting character models. An unarmed combat game with RPG elements since you can upgrade yourself, probably could also be categorized as Boss Rush since each opponent with a boss, most or all with multiple stages. Should be some enjoyable twitchy gaming, although if the enemy patterns are preset then you can just memorize them eventually like Punch Out. This one's coming out of early access so it's fully released now I believe. quote:Behold, Billion Beat! It's a brutal boxing bonanza. Beat the bicuspids off a bevy of bizarre baddies. Be a badass and bet on your brawn to bag a billion bucks! Booyah, baby!  Overpowered is an action roguelike shooter with a pretty plain art style and an emphasis on synergistic powerups, which we all know and love. Supports couch co-op or Remote Play. It's only 8.99, so I wouldn't expect too much but if the gameplay is good that shouldn't matter. quote:Stack up your gun with unique enhancement, push through worlds of challenging foes to save a friend. “Overpower” is a game about stacking up your guns, casting flashy items, and trying your luck with our themed boss. Over 700,000 combination of Enhancement, Item and Weapons to keep your run fresh, with build paths that suit different play-style. Secrets are hiding around games, waiting to be discovered. Explore the many combinations to build the ultimate weapon.  Vandozer I'm just putting in because it reminds me of  and it's actually reasonably fun and challenging. Basically a trials-type game with a dash of Hoplegs since the Vandozer's pistons are the main gameplay element and challenge. Ten bucks in early access.quote:While piloting Vandozer, use the van's three pistons in order to jump, climb, cling and grind your way through the challenging levels. The controls are completely physics-driven, so get creative with how you use the pistons. Unlock new regions on the world map and see if you can make it to "The Final Climb".

Just be warned if you're interested that it's a lot trickier than it looks and that gif heavily overstates the moment to moment action. A lot of it is just flailing around pathetically trying to figure out how you are supposed to get to some platform or another. I will admit that seeing that giant Goat Tank makes me want to play it more and get to that part e: https://store.steampowered.com/app/733820/Highrisers/  Highrisers is a pixel art exploration/crafting/survival game where you control 4 different characters as you search buildings for resources, craft stuff to protect yourself and prepare your escape.

Jupiter Hell is finally out of early access hell on August 5th. For those that don't know it's DOOM but as a roguelike. If it reminds you of good old DOOMRL it's because it's from the same guy. Really great game and I hope it gets more attention now that it's done. Shiny new trailer with what I assume is the intro movie at the start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp_uizEnIes

AirRaid posted:Man, I was really into that until the actual gameplay started and I saw it's a weird top-down (and turnbased?) thing. I get where you're coming from. I only gave it a chance because people were invoking Doom. I didn't realize just how weird it would be, but I like it. Roguelike is the most accurate yet least helpful description. It's like playing Necrodancer with a gun for the lack of a better comparison. It's surprisingly versatile too. You turn your guy into Doomguy, Serious Sam, whatshisface from Gears of War, Zero from Borderlands, a useless wookie and probably a bunch of other shootermans. I saw something in the skill trees about gunbots. And all the ugly CRT effects can be disabled. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Jul 16, 2021 |

Probably anybody who knows what a doom roguelike entails in the "classical" sense of the word already knows about Jupiter Hell. By current usage of the term a doom roguelike is just Doom I guess. Maybe with some mods to randomise levels, if you want to be super fussy and precise about the word roguelike.

Lites are as the OP described, except that metaprogression (as opposed to unlocks, which just expand the variety of things that can be generated in game) is not included in a true roguelite.

I didn't realise it apparently specifically calls out topdown grid based stuff too. It doesn't, although obviously Rogue itself was top-down and turn based.

Anyone excited for The Ascent? It's a solo/co-op cyberpunk arpg shooter coming out in 2ish weeks with hand-made maps, fixed loot locations, and a cover system. Think Diablo 2 crossed with Geometry Wars (or, like, Binding of Isaac maybe? a twin stick shooter).
