Klaus Kinski posted:Slay the spire has been getting some hype lately and I don't think it has been mentioned here. I really like this game but I'm gonna second that it's rather light on content. Some things I'd love to see: - starting with a few relics in place already so you get a fun deck online quicker, it's very boring to start off with the same defend/slash deck over and over again - the option to somehow recycle or save or otherwise reuse absolutely hilarious combos you encounter without rolling the dice over and over again

Slime posted:So I got Slay The Spire and after a bunch of games...it's a good game don't get me wrong, but once you've experienced the fun of what you can do later, the first act is loving bad. You've got no real choices to make in combat, there's nothing to make you really think about what you're going to do. I'd really love the option to just skip to act 2 and have the game toss me a bunch of cards to pick from to make a deck that actually has some synergy instead of praying you get something workable in the first few fights. I'm hoping the game will include some kind of skip ahead option at release.

I'm still hoping for some kind of fast play mode in Slay the Spire which boots you to level three after letting you select a few relics/cards. Or just anything which lets you skip the first quarter of the game in which you make barely any decisions once you've played for a while.

No Wave posted:I bought risk of rain 2. I've been running around the first level for 35 minutes looking for a teleporter. Still have no idea where it is. Is this what the game is like? Look for floating red/yellow particles. After some playing you'll be able to locate the teleporter within 10 seconds on most maps.

Duderclese posted:I remember it being talked about a while ago but does anyone have any tips for cultist simulator? My most successful run thus far I kinda seemed to hit a brick wall and eventually just crumbled after about an hour of making no progress. I'm a few runs in and what's been working well for me is spending a good while at the start of a game getting the basics in order. 4 in every stat, bunch of cash, steady job, collect some people. Try not to get in trouble, mystique is fine. That's usually when I start working on buying books and reading them, saving up the poetry/essay books for when I want to get the related skill to 5. Painting is a very nice job.

Oh, yeah, that helps. Though that would have probably been too much planning ahead for me, I prefer just being able to adapt and overcome in roguelikes. Razakai posted:My favourite Rift Wizard strategy atm is going for early Arch Sorcerer. You can pick up 3 cantrips and then AS on floor 3. While it's 7 points, it's not far off the equivalent of getting +damage for all 3 cantrips (and a few bonus charges and range) so you're pretty much breaking even. What it does mean is you have incredible flexibility afterwards, as every sorcery you buy gets the boost. Especially great with high power, low charge spells like Chill Wind. Nice idea, got me to realm 7 or so just now. My favorite spell so far is chain lightning, but I haven't been able to build around it that effectively yet.

cock hero flux posted:Yes, all changes which exist to haphazardly pave over the problems the scouting change caused. The end result is that what could once be solved with thought is now RNG dependent. Winning is less about playing well and more about being lucky. I don't know about this. Scouting ahead isn't the same as playing well, imo. If this game was balanced around me scouting multiple rooms ahead I would not play it, that's way too methodical for me. Made it to floor 16 just now, think the game is clicking

Woo, first rift wizard win. It seems like some shrines can really amp a spell up to 11 all by themselves. I had a plague of filth spell with the shrine that makes monsters take fire damage every time a creature died. That was fun, but god drat does Mordred pack a punch. I had no idea what I was up against, so the next time I'm definitely grabbing a one-shot skill just to chew through that 700 hp.

cock hero flux posted:plague of filth is good enough that you can win the game with it by itself with no shrines. Throw on that shrine and take melting armour and you shred pretty much everything. This is true for basically every source of fire damage and melting armour, by the way. try it with searing orb if you want the easiest possible win. I assumed -resistance was capped so I didn't play much with it, but knowing this... Also I finally assembled the soul harvest/death roulette combo, only to be beaten up by a bunch of dark-immune snakes (the other rift had dark immune enemies too). Dammit

In Rift Wizard I usually get nightmare aura early on because even with barely any upgrades it just carries you through the first 5 or so levels entirely by itself. Then I see about either keeping it going with a combo, or I use the 15+ SP I banked to just straight up buy a build that goes well with whatever circles I find.

Yeah, but it's very clearly a game with a start and an end as well as the expectation you are at the wheel 100% of the time, it's not like the typical idle game where you are expected to set up some sort of engine and just peace out for an hour while getting dozens of upgrades which make number go up faster. I'm more saying that if you are going for a purely idle experience, it'll feel very tedious because it's an optimisation puzzle with a handful of incremental-like mechanics put into it. A game in which you can unlock pretty much all relevant upgrades in a few hours of playing wouldn't really make it to my idle game hall of fame while Loop Hero absolutely was one of the better games I played when it came out.

Jack Trades posted:The only real "gameplay" in there is card placement and equipment switching and both of those are absolutely busywork and don't involve any decision making once you figure out the mechanics of the game, and if not for that busywork the game would've been exactly an Incremental Game. this just isn't true at all because of all the interactions between tiles and specific stats being better against some mobs than others. when you start the game you constantly edit your deck, optimise card placement, and find out that different strategies are better with different classes (rogue wants lots of monsters instead of only high quality ones for example). unless your argument is 'once you know everything about the game, the decisions you make are limited' in which case yes, that is how puzzle games based on finding out information tend to work.

The actual gameplay is the deck building and exploration of in game interactions of cards, the game has next to zero replayability after finishing it once unless you really enjoy the graphics. I finished the final boss and unlocked everything relevant using the in-game 4x speed at around 10 hours. It's a great game, but there is zero reason to come back to it afterwards because the story is the same, the interactions are the same, etc. Once you know the game, you're done, but getting to know the game is the fun bit. It's a simple, polished game about starting with zero information and experimenting with interactions. It doesn't have enough staying power to hang with any of the incremental/idle games talked about in the idle/incremental games thread, and it doesn't have the replayability of a rogue like. I'm not sure why it even comes up in this thread tbh.
