It was like one of the 80s adaptations were they license some anime but give it a new plot and dialog based on what their marketing committee thought was popular with american kids except it was an original production made in 2009. An absolutely bizarre animal.

I really thought that it only did that to Storm Owl's miniboss because it was Storm Owl's weakness. Egg on my face.

I just thought of something... when, or which, was the first MM game to allow cycling through sub-weapons without pausing the game? I presume that it was an SNES one due to the shoulder triggers, but I could be wrong. I had always wondered why the NES games didn't allow the player to cycle them using the Select button because, well, it's called the 'Select' button, but the first game that I played with this option was MM8 on the PSX and I remember thinking what a convenience that was.

I really rarely played as X in X4 so seeing the weapons used so proficiently is really blowing my mind. I can't wait for the finale, Sigma has a couple attacks that I'm basically never able to dodge and I want to know how to deal with them.

For the few of you here who enjoy the Gunvolt series a bunch of new info has been released on the upcoming sequel to Luminous Avenger Ix (including the fact that it will be the first game in the series to have English voice acting): https://azurestrikergunvolt.fandom.com/wiki/Gunvolt_Chronicles:_Luminous_Avenger_iX_2 Speaking of Megaman-esque games, is that new puzzle based Shovel Knight game that recently came out any good?

Ix 2 coming out sooner than I thought, would have put money on Gunvolt 3 releasing first but this is a nice surprise.

Apparently Gunvolt 3 still doesn’t even have a release date yet (it just says 2022 last I checked). Ix 2 also just kind of came out of nowhere to be honest but I’m not complaining

Levels are grids (10x10 I think?), with roughly a fourth of the bottom filled with enemies and blocks at the start of the round. You move your character around the grid and bump into enemies to deal damage, generally eating a counterattack in the process. A simple example: Shovel knight [you] - 5 health, 1 damage Beetl [enemy] - 2 health, 1 damage If SK bumped into a Beetl you'd each take 1 damage, so SK would be at 4/5 and the Beetl would have 1/2. Enemies who die don't counter you though, so if you bumped them again you'd still be at 4/5 but the Beetl would disappear. The main trick here is that enemies of the same type who are orthogonally adjacent all get hit when you hit any enemy of that group, but only the one you actually bumped into counters you. So with the above Beetl example, if there was a line of four Beetls you'd destroy all of them on your second bump and still be at 4/5 health. So a lot of the game is setting up chains/groups since enemies are constantly spawning from the top of the screen and "falling" toward the bottom as that gives both the most gems (used to buy mid-run boosts and a small number of meta-progression things) and also minimizes the number of times you have to bump into enemies to remove them from the map. And a level ends when a certain threshold of enemies are defeated and an exit door will spawn that you have to open. There's a bunch of different enemy types, like Skeletons have 4 health and deal 2 damage. Then there's weirder ones, like some enemies might be immune to attacks from one side, or get knocked around the map when you bump into them (making it harder to make groups), or leave hazardous squares when they die. There's also a good number of characters with different gimmicks - Shovel Knight spawns more potions on the map (heals you for 2 HP) and deals extra damage to groups of enemies, Specter Knight heals when he kills enemies but takes damage from potions, King Knight has a charge-type attack that does extra damage the further you move but has recoil, etc. It definitely emphasizes the "action" part of "action-puzzle", but I would have a much easier time recommending it to someone who liked Puyo, Lumines, or Necrodancer than someone who liked Shovel Knight or Mega Man (though ideally you'd like both).

Everything else I've seen floating around though looks great, and I guess at the very least it'll be out soon enough so I can get a handle on how it'll play.

Not really sure how I feel about there being an English dub this time (are any clips of that floating around out of curiosity?) but as long as it’s better then the dub they put out for the Gunvolt OVA a while back it should be fine. And yeah, them changing up Copen’s gameplay style might take some getting used to for me but hopefully it’ll be decent (and ironically they seem to be passing a few of Copen’s moves onto GV in Gunvolt 3 as well). Speaking of the dub, apparently one of the bosses is voiced by Arin Hanson/Egoraptor of Game Grumps fame: https://azurestrikergunvolt.fandom.com/wiki/Ace Larryb fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Dec 28, 2021 |

I'm still missing a handful but I think Shield Knight (less max HP, gains a damage shield when she kills a group of 3+) and Specter Knight are my favorites so far. Shield Knight feels hard to lose with once you understand the game and play to her strengths, meanwhile Specter Knight breaks pretty fundamental rules of the game and needs you to completely rewire your priorities. Shovel Knight himself is probably my third favorite and does a good job avoiding the "default character = boring" cliche.

Is everyone available to you at the start or do you have to unlock characters as you go? Also is there a plot and/or any boss battles attached to this?

You unlock characters from playing but it's generally a pretty fast process. Which ties into your second question - you unlock characters (with a few exceptions) by beating them in boss fights. There's a story but it's basically "SK and friends get trapped in the titular Pocket Dungeon".

Just started Pocket Dungeon, seems fun so far but out of curiosity are there save points of some kind or do you basically have to do the whole game in one sitting? Edit: Apparently not but the game is really short if you know what you’re doing so it doesn’t really matter all that much Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Dec 28, 2021 |

Yeah, I found out there were other sections of the camp you could visit after I finished the game the first time. Like I said, kind of on the short side if you’re just barreling through it but still fun nonetheless. There hasn’t been any recent news on Dig as of late has there?
