I want the same game but with classic jrpg combat. Maybe you recruit a party member each act or something.

Any of these on switch? I finally uninstalled StS on mobile as i felt it was taking over all my idle time-but repurchased it on the switch, at least now I have to go and pick it up and dedicate myself to gaming time instead of swiping right and clicking the app for “one more run”

I mean, it's always a hard comparison to StS, but compared to Monster Train, Banners of Ruin, or Griftlands I think it matches up very well? (For reference, I have 111 hours in Trials, while monster train was "only" a 65 hour game for me.)

ImpAtom posted:Try Steamworld Quest It was really good, but both those suggestions are still a card game and that's not what I meant, although I see how it sounds now. I'm thinking that card drops are equippable items, relics are replaced by spells/attacks, campfires give back HP/MP, gold and stores are similar to StS. Beating an Act Boss rescues a new party member and the boss drops a legendary, named weapon.

If you like Watcher, specifically "failing at basic math so you eat poo poo instead of winning this turn," you should check out Card Quest on mobile. It's very unlike StS in most ways (you choose your deck/relic equivalents at the start, there are multiple set in stone campaigns instead of a single RNG spire) but it's interesting in that if you ever take a point of damage from a non-boss you hosed up. Each class has tons of ways to mitigate damage, provided you spend your energy right. It's also brutally difficult and unforgiving, speaking as someone who's brought everyone to A20 in StS but is nowhere near unlocking everything in Card Quest even though I had it longer.

Though I find the game is definitely the most difficult at the start and gets quite a bit easier the more unlocks you have. Barbarian in particular can basically bust the game in half.

This Chrono Ark game is cool but the story and overworld map parts just seem unnecessary. There's a lot of systems in combat I don't quite understand how to take advantage of yet but it seems like there's more depth to it than I can glean at first glance. EDIT: also, how the gently caress do you beat the second boss good grief

Flex+ is generally not a great card, and regular flex is bad. You had a lot of ways to gain strength in that deck. For a longer boss fight, upgrading demon form and letting it do its thing is often good enough. A few more shrug it off or other good defense would help let you scale. Also you should remove strikes before you remove defends.

demon form, 2x inflame, 3x flex, and a spot weakness is wildly too many strength cards. flex is really only good with limit break because of its specific interaction, and having multiples of it isnt better even if you do have that interaction. basically every extra copy of a card is denying you a draw of something else you need, and if you needed an attack or a defense card you had a 21% chance to be drawing a strength card instead. i know that three of them are power cards and that then drops down to a 14% but that's still way too high. your deck has waaaay too many strength cards, even without the flexes, and way too many attack cards with almost no defense. and against the awakened one the inflames are just killing you faster, if you don't play them they're dead draws and if you do play them you're buffing his attack which you can't deal with since you have no real mitigation cards to speak of.

In addition to the points above, the Awakened One fight gets a LOT easier if you have good defensive resources. Awakened One only scales up damage if you play powers in the first phase of the fight. Otherwise you're looking at set numbers the entire time, and you can sometimes block forever against him. Ironclad's best defensive card against Awakened One is probably Disarm. You permanently reduce his strength, which is particularly good for those multi-attacks. That's a good card to have at least one copy of in your deck, partly because it goes such a long way toward solving Awakened One (It also really helps solve several other fights with enemies that have multi-attacks). You might not have seen a Disarm, but you probably saw a source of weak at some point. Shockwave and Uppercut are great, though Uppercut pretty much requires an upgrade ASAP. Clothesline is meh, unless it's upgraded, and then it's... somewhere between meh and good. Sometimes I'll skip it because I'm holding out for a better weak card. Just like you don't want to overload your deck with strength cards, you also don't want to overload it with cards that inflict weak. Diminishing returns can really make decks inefficient. But it's often tough to block adequately throughout long boss fights if you have absolutely no weak sources. So if my deck is completely devoid of weak by, say, midway through act 2, I'm likely to take any card that gives me some.

It is hard, sometimes in ways that are frustrating. Imagine if there was an act boss that was immune to poison. Mostly a historical curiosity these days.

Bloodletting is bad. Flex is mostly bad. War Cry without the upgrade is bad. Getting rid of some of these nothing cards and adding some more defense could allow you to survive while your strength increases.

I feel like maybe I'm picking up too many powers, or picking them up at the wrong tjme? I don't know which block to prioritize, same with draw. I'm really a mess with silent and my wins come off the back of a strong poison deck with block. Anything else I lose hard.

Not sure how much help this will be, but here's something from earlier in the thread: KonvexKonkav posted:Silent has some fine scaling cards, but one issue is more that one of the main ways that Silent can scale (playing lots of low-cost cards) is severely punished by the Heart and Time Eater. Much more significantly, the ratio of trash to useful cards is significantly higher for Silent than for the other classes. Let's look at the rares for example: They are

Silent also suffers from low damage in her starting deck and poor common attacks, making her significantly worse at Act 1 than anyone else. It's way less likely you'll be able to fight 2 or 3 elites in Act 1, and that means you'll be weaker going into act 2.

The two main things that make Bullet Time work are Snecko Eye and Well-Laid Plans (especially if your scaling plan involves Nightmare). Admittedly you want WLP in pretty much every run so maybe it is just good

What about the draw 4 discard 1? and the defend 8 draw 2. Both of them make bulle ttime really good.

Silent is definitely the hardest class to do well with. I'm no pro at this game by any stretch of the imagination (actually I am bad) but Silent seems to have less ways to flip out all crazy than the other three characters. That said, my favourite deck archetype is the one where you just play a stupid amount of Shivs.
