I'm playing Dead Cells and loving it. I wanted to ask. I wonder, is there another roguelike/roguelite I missed with the weapon/item variety of Dead Cells? It's what I love the most from this game, not only there are ~100 usable weapons/items, it's how different the are. It goes beyond the typical melee vs ranged weapons, or quick weapon vs slow high damage weapon, or some passive stat buff or proc chance effects (and Dead Cells have all that, and random suffixes, rarity, etc) , but loots of the weapons here have their own unique mechanic. Some of them do extra damage against walls, others if you attack in the back, some pull enemies, there is a whip that does extra damage if you hit them with the tip at the end, there is a grenade that summons critters and another that attract enemies like a magnet, a crossbow that fires like a shotgun so it will do better from close, magical lightning with high damage but needs to be channeled, some weapons synergize very well with specific effects, there are shields that can parry but not block, there are special items that allow you to float, etc.

Ok people. Recommend a roguelike/roguelite game. Some points: -I liked games like Dungeons of Dredmor or Dead Cells. I have pending to try TOME one of these days. I think my next roguelite will be Slay the Spire, I hear good things. -Have graphics. It doesn't have to be super pretty, but no ascii games. -Have great variety in each run. So as you know, one of the key aspects of roguelikes is that usually have small 'graphics budget', but thanks to that, they have more depth in systems and/or content. I was searching something like that, that have great variety in classes for examples, I love games where playing another class is suddenly like playing another game, with different tactical considerations, different toolset, or even different resources. For example, I'm also a sucker of strategy games where each faction is asymmetric and plays totally different (different resources, style, victory conditions) -It isn't super hardcore. It is a pity, but most games of this genre are 'my way or the highway' school of design. High default difficulty, and even worse, no difficulty options. One of the things I liked from DoD was the better accesibility (easy/normal mode, but also you could choose to save between floors, or even if you wanted a normal or a long run).

Sorry people who recommended me Dungeonmans, I'm liking Tangledeep better! After playing almost 12 hours of Dungeonmans and 90 minutes of Tangledeep: Dungeonmans quick pace has some addicting quality at first, as you kill & loot poo poo, but it also has several quirks, pace issues and styles I don't like: -Supposing you aren’t killed early and play conservatively, the first 5 hours of a run are a bit boring, too easy. -Runs are indeed too long, given you mostly juggle the same 4-5 abilities usually in a single run. As part of that, you level too slowly from level 6 onwards, and the gameplay gets stale because of that. The game should be shorter and you should level up a bit faster, so you always get new skills every x time to play around. -I dislike games where 85% of the combat is ‘filler’, most of the time in ‘adventurous’ dungeons I don’t bother see what type of enemies I’m hitting or what abilities do they have, I just advance and kill everything, letting the auto-target select whatever enemy. Even in the next level ('challenging'?) I had sometimes this problem. -I dislike games with this resting system, there is no penalty for using it, it’s basically the turn-based equivalent of health-regeneration in a FPS. You reach a harder area? Advance a bit, kill 3-4 enemies, rest, rinse, repeat. Sometimes you are interrupted but it’s a single monster so you kill it without problems and rest again. -You may say at this point I should go to a harder dungeon or raise the difficulty, but it’s hard to skip dungeons that have valuable xp and consumables, and the difficulty balance is tricky: bosses are much harder than the rest of the game, so if I raise the difficulty somehow, the moment I will reach a boss the game will be too hard, not too easy. -Ironically this doesn’t mean I don’t die, some of my deaths (outside bosses) came because the game trains me to fall in a zen-like status of advancing and killing poo poo without looking at numbers or even using most abilities, of playing in autopilot mode, which works 99% of the tie, and then a special enemy kills me or a poisoner gets me without me noticing the poison drain 80% of my health. Even if I had dozens of consumables to avoid my death. So the pace of the game is super weird, where a floor it's too easy and suddenly in the next one I die without me noticing the enemies did much more damage. Precisely for a game without a quicksave but with a roguelike save system it feels inappropirate. A small thing, but having the health bar tucked to the right corner also affects me, increasing this dumb mistakes I make. I wish it was bigger and more in the center. -There are some cheap kills like the top of the towers where you fight a boss, unlike any other dungeons before, the stairs magically disappear so you cannot retreat when you see that floor level is too high for you. -95% of the loot is crap, garbage fated to be sold or be scrapped in the academy. I also dislike this kind of ‘loot’ model. I don’t even bother looking at what I’m picking from the ground, I just clear up two or three dungeons in a row and then go back to identify everything in one go, favorite a pair of pieces maybe, and the throw everything else. -The overworld map lacks info, the number system is crap to see what is a town and what a dungeon (why not use small icons?) so you have to use the filters enabling and disable them. To show level of dungeon is, and what level of town is (merchandise level, like 4/6) would also a good idea. -The inventory system is crap: no way to order by rating, gold, number of items (for consumables), if the item is equippable or not, or any other way. In contrast, Tangledeep It has a old JRPG vibe in the art which didn't convince me at first, I don't have nostalgia for these games, but in the end It fixes most of my complaints I wrote before: -It has a few more classes than Dungeonmans, 12, and they are more original, they aren't the typical warrior/archer/wizard, so it's more in my style (Floramancer, Edge Thane, Soulkeeper..). Like Dungeonmans, you can mix them up. -The classes, apart from more interesting, are more 'active', with more active and interesting abilities, one unique upgradable passive, and you gain the skills way faster (at least, I have 7 after 70 minutes). -Small point, but it has more system options (some of them useful even!) and customizable controls. -Balance wise it's way too early to say anything, but the difficulty seems smoother, without strange ups and downs, while at the same time not being brainless because the next point. -It doesn't use the rest system from Dungeonmans, but traditional food/health potions. There are fountains that give you extra health recharges to the health potion, and an interesting powerup system, where fallen enemies may drop orb that give you a bit of stamina or energy. In addition between floors there can be a small map with a side quest or a fire camp, you can use the camp once to refill your stats or to cook a recipe. -It has a convenient 'summon town portal', needs 8 turns to charge or so. It also can be used to return to the start of the floor. Unlike in Dungeonmans, where sometimes it was a pain in the rear end to go back two floors. -It has several sorting methods for the inventory. -Itemization is also better, imo it doesn't flood the player with garbage loot. After one hour I have a dozen items and 13 consumables, not 120. -Weapons are more interesting, instead of being a simple damage number and a collection of random attributes, they also have a special ability. Daggers do more damage in successive attacks, claymore can counter when parrying, Iron claws have a damage bonus depending of the health lost recently, etc. Weapons also have learn-able unique abilities depending of the weapon type. On the other hand there seems to be less variety of weapons. -Enemies are also a bit more interesting, like Dungeonmans they can have abilities, but it feels they have a bit more identity here. -It has a meta-progression system too. Capturing and taming monsters seem a cool idea, and later they are pets that can level up. -There is a sidequest/rumor system that is like a challenge, as they can be conditions like 'don't change weapons' or 'don't use more than 800 steps'. -It has a good number of starting options (here it's better to put some screenshots), I think they accommodate everyone:   -A little thing, but I like having some simple animations in this type of game. The 'idle' animations of the characters give them much more life than the static sprites of Dungeonmans.

At the end of the day, I will just say that Tangledeep has captured my imagination more than Dungeonmans. Right now I'm discovering new stuff in Tangledeep every hour, like: -You can pair up pets to breed a new hybrid -Side quests unlock new npcs, or new starting feats for the next charactes -You can pay a trainer to make a pet learn a new skill. -Pets have random liked and disliked foods. -Dream-item dungeons have unique affinities depending of the item of attributes of the item, they have special 'mutators' for the dungeon (like 'berserk enemies') and there are random auras with positive and negative effects. I like how they can be a challenge because precisely you won't have the item you are upgrading, which most of the times will be your best item. -There are nightmare dungeons but I still have no idea of how they work -There are skill-orbs for dream dungeons that give passive effects to a job skill. -Job trials to gain an unique job-related item, I like how you are limited in cosumables and in using only that job skills. -Weapon have weapon masteries, a series of 3 abilities to unlock, and an ultimate ability (only can have 1). -There is a cool sidequest to get armor masteries. -You learn a perk for your health flask every 5 levels. so I'm positively giddy with the game right now. Difficulty wise, the game is definitively on the easy side, but the fact there is no free recovery of health or mana, not even in the Town, makes me play in a more engaging manner, trying to get hit the less possible. Also pet insurance can get expensive if you don't care about your pet. And yeah, I can see how the Pandora's boxes mechanic could make the game harder and harder. I read there is New Game+ where you start with the same Pandora box counter (instead of being reset to 0), that's a cool idea to make the successive games harder.

Sacrificial Toast posted:Same, I just died around level 10 as a Spellshaper/Floramancer just not noticing my health was so low. The edges of the screen do turn red, but somehow I just tune it out a lot of the time. Maybe I should just play on the mode that lets you respawn. It's like my roguelike curse. 'Hey this game is pretty easy!!' , until I reach an area it isn't, I start using a few consumables thinking that's the only thing I need to get over it, and I fail to recognize how truly difficult is the new area, not using the portal. Baam, 8 hours thrown to the garbage. Speaking of, I think that's related to the main thing I don't like in Tangledeep, how long it is. The main game are 20 floors, but there are extra side quests/hidden floors, now add doing a handful of rumors, the trial jobs, and upgrading your weapons a dozen times, which can be 2-3 floors per item, or even more, and you end playing 45-50 floors in a run. That's 15 hours? more right?? That's imo, too long. Even if I die before, the average run is going to be 11 hours or so. I thought the point of roguelikes like this being very replayable (12 jobs, random levels, deep character and item customization) was to play them a bunch of times, but even if I like it, I don't want to play it so much. That's something I prefer in roguelites, runs are usually shorter. This also affects how I deal internally with permadeath, it's ok for for 2 hour run game, it's less okay for a game where I invested the equivalent of a single player game campaign. Ideally, they should offer a custom setting to choose game length. It should be possible to do it, as the basis of most of these games are procedural dungeons. I only have seen a similar option in Dungeons of Dredmor? Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Jan 14, 2019 |

I save scummed twice in my current game of Tangledeep, two silly, totally avoidable deaths so on my mind it was allowed as I didn't have enough experience on the game, then on the third death on the 15th floor I say to myself 'well, that was my fault' and started a new character. It was very 'Oops' like the title of the thread, a theorethical 'easy' floor where the randomness of roguelikes conspired against me, one of those situations that have a 0.05% probability of occurring in any given fight, but given the length of the game you will have 3 or 4 of them in a normal run. I'm not sure, but I think the floor difficulty indicator can be tricky, because the pandora chests raise the global difficulty without updating that? After 15 chests opened, he 'very easy' floors felt like the 'easy' ones before.

The item economy is totally bonkers, by the way. With that I refer to the shop prices: a rank 7 common item will be 80% more expensive than a rank 5 legendary item full of affixes, hell even forgetting the affixes for a second the legendary item still will have better base stats.

Dachshundofdoom posted:The total uselessness of the floor difficulty indicator really wrecked the Item Dream mechanic for me last time I played Tangledeep. It's a cool idea but the possibility of jumping blind into a potential ToME 4-level oneshot unique was infuriating, especially since those are very rare in the standard dungeon. The risk always seemed to massively outweigh the reward too: you'd burn through a bunch of resources, risk death, and in return you'd get some random piddly affix that'd be out of date when you find a better item in a few more floors. There is a item to get back into the real world in one turn, the uh... whatever drum. And while you don't keep the 'dream-consumables', you keep the gold and other items. In fact some dreams have extra fountains, or the goldfrog, several times I got with more resources than I started with.

madjackmcmad posted:
In Tangledeep in particular a third quickbar instead of two makes totally sense. Why? Because given the average length of a game, a player takes 1.5 jobs, I would say, that's 8 of his full job + 2-4 extra abilities of the second job. Then you have 2 more abilities of a single weapon mastery, and maybe you have the perk for the free 1 square jump, or an item that gives another ability, and in total you have already the two bars totally full. So a third one for consumables would ideal.

I find pretty amusing how in the last two pages everyone seem to agree that TOME is obtuse, full of superfluous information, of boring trash mobs, too long, of elite enemies that look like trash mobs but they aren't, etc etc and two weeks ago when I was asking about roguelikes I was recommended TOME, lol. By the way, I mentioned this problem quote:'The problem is when the pacing is off like tome, where 95% of the game is popcorn or when there's no way to tell something dangerous is coming up like a randboss that you autoexplore into and get instagibbed.' Ideal design for a permadeath-focused genre.

As you people were talking the past days about TOME, I watched a pair of videos of tutorial/let's play thing. I even played it a bit the free version. One thing that I ended up wondering is... why there is an autoexplore option? I mean, I know why it's there, the game clearly shortens up the tedium with that option, but if you look back a bit for a second and think things through, isn't a game design failure if your game needs the autoexplore feature? Wouldn't be best to actually reduce the size of the dungeons by... three? Because they can be pretty big, and they are mostly featureless procedural maps, you don't win anything by being that big, except needing the autoexplore to make walking until you hit a monster less boring. Hell, even it made me think that gameplay wise, if the autoexplore works, it is indicative of the game is lacking something. It should matter where and how you find an enemy in a game about tactical combat. The type of terrain should matter, maybe? rocky, grassy, mud, forest, etc. Height factor in terrain? traps? Whatever.

ITB is a very good game that I can appreciate how well designed it is, how it's so tight and well executed its singular vision with focus, how all the pieces fit together perfectly without any obvious bad part. But in reality, I only played... 11 hours I think? It's a very focused game, and one consequence of that it's the limited scope. It has a pretty good variety inside that limited scope, but it isn't a game that I will play for dozens and dozens of hours. And the end of the day I just say 'it's a really cool puzzle' but the experience has clear limits. That said, the reality of why I only played 11 hours is that I wasn't in a rush to play more, because I know at some point I will reinstall when they do some enhanced edition/dlc/expansion and play other 11 more.

Captain Foo posted:I love synthetik's aesthetics so much but i'm so bad at it Apart from aesthetics, it has a really good '30-sec gameplay loop', but that core loop don't extend itself properly into a multi-dozen hours experience, like for example Dead Cells. The use of more or less realistic firearms means lots of them are very similar in use, lots of times the difference between items were passive buffs or 'proc chance for x effect', and the enemies were also not varied enough. You have normal guys, sniper guys, shield guys, robots that explode on contact, uh... not a lot more. Well, it had a few more types but you could include them in the same niches of enemy types.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Tangledeep reminds me a little of Dark Souls -- not because it's difficult or grim or any of the usual themes people associate with that game, but in that I have serious misgivings about a lot of the mechanics, but it fills such an unusual niche that you can forgive it's missteps (to some extent) because it does things other games wouldn't even try. (In Souls' case, invasions, in Tangledeep's case, really committing to attrition-based resource management.) I don't agree with your opinion on health/stamina. It isn't that complex or annoying. It's just two 'ammo pools' for your abilities. I usually put the stamina ones on the left side of the bar and the energy ones on the right side. Saying that having two is redundant is like saying that having weapons with different ammo in Doom in redundant. You never have to buy enough food that the money vs food issue is ever a problem. You eventually swim on gold, and just using the fountains, taking the orbs before they disappear, and sleeping, and some food on the side, you should be ok. I don't know if maybe you are spamming your abilities more than you should, don't waste them in crappy enemies :P. With an exception, if you know you can recover that resource after combat because someone else dropped just dropped an orb. It's the typical resource trade off, you can fight safely by spending more resources (energy, stamina) or by spending health (or just being more risky) by not using them. If you spend health, it means you will have to spend gold (for healing) or a healing flask. It seems a more interesting system than the one your described in DoomRL. I agree some things are not intuitive, like melee dropping more orbs. On the other hand I played dozens of hours without knowing that and I had no problems, and in fact ranged is still the most 'efficient' option. I'm also not a fan of the meta-progression. Part of it, is because it seems directed to another type of player, the grindy players, that will play dozens and dozens of hours doing dream items, collecting weapon sets, breeding pets. And In theory they say it will help you catch up with the zone where you were killed last time and no more, but in reality you can accrue more power than you had in the previous game, giving you more legendary items, more orbs that allow for more grinding, a more powerful pet, etc. I don't think there is any 'balance via hostile UI', it's more surely an oversight. What's the problem, there is no sparks in the game while you have the minimap opened? I don't even get why would anyone would try to play the entire game from the minimap?? what's to gain?

Tuxedo Catfish posted:You can see the layout of the entire level and see enemies, loot, and other features from much further away with the minimap up. Well, it still a minimap, so for obvious reason it can't cram all the information of the real map on it. It's also missing different icons for the monsters, for example! If you want to do big posts about Tangledeep, I would recommend the thread for it  Also, if your problem with the game is that you would like to use more abilities, and maybe in exchange increase the difficulty a bit, it can be done with a mod, I can make it in a few minutes. It's basically a .xml with two lines: <poweruphealing>x</poweruphealing> <powerupdrop>x</powerupdrop>

All of the positive reviews I've read basically say "it gets good once you get some unlocks and the ability to choose the items you get" but I never got that far. IronicDongz posted:I think this one feels a lot better than the first because your movement is better and you don't get locked in place with your special abilities. I disliked the first one because it had the timer to incentivize going quickly but then you felt so fuckin slow. especially with the tiny player sprite on the huge screen I will copy and paste what I wrote in the RoR2 thread: quote:I will go against the grain saying that I thought RoR1 was a very mediocre game... but I will save face saying RoR2 is a much, much better game. The 3Dness makes all the difference, and not because 3d graphicxxx but the gameplay changes. In other words, I agree with IronicDongz, and just because someone disliked the first he shouldn't forget this game. Both are action roguelites, and super similar on paper, but the fact one was a clunky 2d action platform and the other a smooth 3d shooter, it's almost different genres.

I liked the idea but not the execution. In practical terms in a stealth/fps game where both the stealth and the fps parts aren't very good. Immersive sim-wise, it's a far cry of a atmospheric experience like SS2 or Prey, too. Games like Cryptark had a more interesting and interactive ship systems integrated into gameplay.

In the roguelite genre, have you guys seen I, Dracula: Genesis ? (awful title) It looks very good, in terms of content and art https://store.steampowered.com/app/1175360/I_Dracula_Genesis/

zirconmusic posted:So Stoneshard is on track to be the highest selling and highest grossing roguelike, even beyond Dredmor, at the rate it's growing. 3445 reviews already means it's probably well over 100k units sold in less than a week. Absolutely surreal. That could be a bit of an outlier, with a fair number of people writing the review to note for their issues with the save system. Translation reviews into sales works for average cases, this could be one of outside the average. Although in any case, I'm not surprised if this game is more successful than say, Tangledeep. The more somber art style, the mouse driven UI, the setting and concept itself (a mercenary going on in a warn-torn medieval world), the promise of system driven open world, it all speaks more to the 'average hardcore PC gamer' (whatever that is!) that may be interested in buying a roguelike in the first place. I personally find funny how code-worded is the description, marketing-wise. Gotta know what your audience is: quote:Stoneshard is a challenging turn-based RPG set in an open world. Experience the unforgiving life of a medieval mercenary: travel across the war-torn kingdom, fulfill contracts, fight, mend your wounds and develop your character without any restrictions. Yes, the game is drat gritty, I get it! Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Feb 10, 2020 |
