How is Sword of the Stars, Kerberos aside, and Teleglitch? Teleglitch looks interesting but I can see those graphical effects getting annoying.

In CoQ, is there a way to see exactly what skills do before you buy them? Or a skill guide somewhere?

Well, I finally got to the cloaca in Golgotha with a praetorian true kin. I could've gone with other characters but I wanted to be at least level 15 and other dudes kept dying to goatfolk or other random poo poo. The snog really kicked the poo poo out of me though. I had a carbide shield and longsword plus like 8 DV from my equipment and he was still hitting me for 10-20 damage every round. Is there a trick to him or should I just hope I have a shitton of grenades for next time? Also I got really frustrated after that because I died in quick succession to a bunch of bullshit. First a snapjaw scavenger one-shotted me with a grenade on level 1 of Red Rock. Next a legendary and a horde of snapjaws ambushed me near the stairs. Finally a snapjaw woke up a slumberling which promptly charged me and hit for 20 damage or so. I said gently caress it and rolled a mutant with extra arms and wished myself some helping hands and 3 2h fullerite longswords. That build was hilarious as I was hitting for 30+ damage most rounds. I also got my revenge on the slumberling but then I died again in Golgotha. I think I'm going to stick with the freezy hands axecrab build. It seems really solid and it felt way squishier than sword and board until I got freezing hands so I can keep enemies frozen or cold to avoid damage.

I'm really enjoying the dodgy dagger based mutant build. Rejoinder is crazy good and I take carapace for some DV and the resists. It really sucks until level 4 though, you really need shank since I start off with low strength and triple-jointed. I did however get to Bethesda Susa and beat the troll bosses for the first time. The invisible one is a bitch and I'm still not sure how exactly to kill him but I think walking into his space hurts him. Rejoinder still works too. Then I got careless and stepped on something that bled me for 13 damage a turn but I kept moving without noticing and died. The guy after that was also doing well but somehow I pissed off the Kyakua villagers and the Barathrumites. The villagers were easy to take care of but the angry Barathrumites broke the main quest. I did find an awesome boss, maybe a novice, but he had ridiculous artifacts on him. He had wings, helping hands, spectacles, several books, a ganglionic something or other and a phase cannon. I'm lucky I was able to get close, the phase cannon does ridiculous damage. With the quest broken, I was just farting around in ruins and got trapped by a pack of Putus Templar. Their armor is no joke even with crysteel weapons. I kinda wish that they had a blank slate background that gives you a few bronze weapons and bunch of skill points and a couple of attribute points, like dungeonmans. Arconaut is half tinker, half short blades and that build really sucks with low strength until you get shank.

Photosynthetic might start you friendly with plants. I actually managed to get to friendly with plants and boars my last game since factions is weird when you start killing a bunch of uniques. I also killed an ape god and cut off his fist.  For comparison, a fullerite maul only does 2d3 damage.

S.T.C.A. posted:Where's a good place to grind at level 20+ in Qud? I still haven't found a drat flamethrower so I haven't stepped into Golgotha, though I cleared a couple levels of Bethesda Susa since I needed something that would still give me some amount of exp. Do those gaslight weapons become good with a cell in them? Those stats are garbage.

Wow, I bought Tower Climb 3 years ago, never thought it'd actually be finished and be on Steam. It's a lot of fun though, I'd highly recommend it if you like climbing gigantic procedurally generated towers.

This might be the wrong place to ask, but do you guys have any recommendations for mid-range laptops with numpads? Super low spec games are pretty much the only thing my current laptop can play but it's a pain in the rear end to play roguelikes without a numpad.

StrixNebulosa posted:Do you have 868-HACK? That's probably my favorite minimalist roguelike at the moment. The 868-HACK video is pretty good, turns out I would bootleg a burrito. Also I saw that Harebrained Schemes is making a game called Necropolis, it's 3rd person action roguelike with coop. Looks pretty cool but I'll wait and see how tight the combat feels. http://store.steampowered.com/app/384490/

There's a new humble roguelike bundle, although it's mobile only: https://www.humblebundle.com/mobile/roguelikes-mobile-bundle I haven't played most of the games but the top tier has Sproggiwood so now you really have no excuse for getting it.

Bionic Dues also has a, uh, surprising theme song for a roguelike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFCClIC-ZXs Also seconding (thirding?) Dead Cells being great. Super polished for early access and tons of fun. Combat and movement feels super solid and it got me in that 'one more run...' mindset. It also looks great, what is that style called? I think it's where they make a 3d model then create the sprite from it?

doctorfrog posted:If anyone remembers Approaching Infinity, it looks like it is finally escaping the black hole of Shrapnel Games and getting a spot on Steam. I actually bought it at $40 and don't regret it, mostly because that type of game is extremely my poo poo. I would've expected more space-y roguelikes but AI is still pretty good albeit with its own flaws. It definitely will be less expensive according to the dev plus lots of new stuff for the Steam release.

Zedlic posted:Back from giving Caves of Qud yet another chance, and again I come back with the impression that there's a magnificent game there underneath a dogshit unusable UI. I have no idea how anyone can play this, it's like the UI is trying to be as convoluted and inconsistent as possible. Even for a roguelike UI this is an impressively tall pile of poo poo. CoQ has a UI revamp coming up so maybe you want to wait for that. I'd try enabling the overlay UI in the options though, I believe it doesn't have the left/right sidebar.

FutureCop posted:Goodness gracious, the Eagle Temple in Curse of the Dead Gods is kicking my rear end. Not sure, but it really feels like this was a Darkest Dungeon-esque case where early access people complained the first two were too easy (since they were playing them for so long) so they upped the difficulty wayyyyy up for the last one they made. It's got the most annoying traps and there are no throwaway grunt enemies: every unit is very complex and has tons of annoying tricks. Ugh, now I'm starting to suffer from that AVGN thing: I actually made it all the way to the final boss of it the first few times, but I keep getting worse and worse now as I keep trying. I laughed because that's exactly what happened. I read that people were beating the first two temples with just a torch so they made eagle temple much harder. gently caress those lightning babies, they're miserable to fight with close up weapons.

StarkRavingMad posted:Yeah, I've had this thing on my wishlist since last year sometime and the variance I see in reviews on it is wild. It's like people are playing two totally different games. It's very different from most roguelikes in that there were no real tactical decisions to make in the moment since there weren't active abilities or anything which was also true for the monsters. It was basically just risk management in that you go down to a planet, explore as much as you can safely do and then get out. The main choices you can make happen in choosing your officers, your skills, your ship and ship's equipment. So people expecting crunchy combat get very little out of it but there were definitely were multiple enemy types both on planet and in space, it's just that their differences were limited to damage/health/move stats and ai behavior. I haven't played much recently but I believe the dev has added more stuff to do including tactical options like grenades and movement/weapon abilities. There are 'elite' enemies along with various resistances and weaknesses and more variety in weapons. Personally I like the exploration aspect even if every planet does boil down to searching all the squares and killing the enemies, each planet usually looks different and you can find loot like equipment or clues to find powerful artifacts. The diplomacy aspect is also quite important since there's more than a dozen alien races, each with their own attitudes towards each faction, their own ships and tech level and views on your actions. Bankers get happy if you trade in their stations and complete quests, the Gruff start off hostile but get friendly after you kill enough of them to command their respect etc. Winning the game is usually tied to completing the ultimate quests for various factions. I can understand why the poster upthread is saying it's content-lite but 10 sectors is really not very much. Certain factions and their bases only show up later on so quitting early is missing those interactions and exploring each planet in every sector to 100% probably would make the game super boring. You can quickly get more powerful ship warp engines so you can skip 2 or 3 sectors at a time to get to the quests or other faction bases or just more powerful loot. But yeah, the game was definitely light on content when it first released on Steam. It wasn't actually in development for 10 years, Shrapnel was selling it for a ridiculous price with terrible support and the dev just recently got it back. He's only been updating it since Steam, not as much before and it's got quite a lot of changes since then. This is just going by the changelogs though, like I said I haven't played it recently since I've been waiting for it to come out of early access. I bet by then there will be more variety and more things to do including more interesting combat.
