Plebian Parasite posted:Princess Castle Quest: A pretty competent game in the vein of Chip's Challenge, it's not in 'Early Access' but it's not fully complete either, with new levels getting added every day. 10$ seems a little pricey, but if sokoban is your thing (It is mine!) it's probably worth being in your collection this looks like DROD. instant buy

if Daniel Mullin approached this anything like his previous game, The Hex, there's going to be layers and layers to uncover before you actually reach the denouement

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1296360/Archvale/ This one's keeping my attention a lot better than I expected it to. It reminds me more of Terraria than gungeon or nuclear throne, with how weapon upgrades tend to have drastically different play styles that force you to move and attack differently. the bosses are well designed too, although i've reached a point where all the ones available to me now on hard mode are kicking my rear end effortlessly. I recommend it!

vampire survivors reminds me of the piles of endless arena survival games that used to be on the Xbox Live Indie Games platform. in a good way

Control Volume posted:Hey, quick question for the regulars of this thread since I dont follow game news much, have there been any other recent games that are in a similar vein as La Mulana? And yes Im already sold on the Supraland sequel the Tower of Oannes dlc for la mulana 2 is coming out Soon™. i dunno if anybody else is doing anything remotely similar to la mulana though, it's almost totally unique in its style and ambition

Control Volume posted:Yeah thats my fear. There are games like Supraland or Toki Tori 2 that take a more physical approach to its exploration and puzzle solving but even those are rare, and I cant think of any other modern games that integrate their fictional history with puzzle design. Actually, there is one game I can recommend. It's not an exact fit, but Full Bore is a sokobon puzzle game with an emphasis on open world exploration and digging for secrets that I very much enjoyed. It doesn't have any of the note taking of La Mulana, but the joy of wandering around and finding new things to do is a very close match.

grapple dog and webbed are part of a new trend of developers correctly recognizing that the grappling hook overshadows every other movement technique available in any metroidvania game. might as well make it available from the start and build the entire game around it

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1946970/Isle_of_Arrows/ This one's fun, but evil. I definitely recommend it if you like tower defense games. You get one card per wave which contains a single or double tile structure to place on the map. These tiles include towers, path pieces which allow you to extend the field of play, and flags which expand the island you're limited to. gold earned with each wave of defense can be spent to draw extra cards in a single turn, or buy specific tiles at periodic shop events. Limited resources allow building outside the bounds of the isle or overlapping with other tiles, but they're rare and expensive, so the placement of the path and towers needs to be meticulously planned out while also leaving room for the likely possibility that you don't draw a path joint you need for an extended period of time. This is complicated by most useful tiles coming with adjoining useless water tiles that gum up your design. It's extremely difficult, which is what most of the negative reviews complain about. I would describe it a bit like jumping into your first ever Slay the Spire match at ascension 15. Wave composition is highly varied and very likely to sporadically break through defenses that aren't very tightly planned, and on the only campaign mode available on a fresh save file, two brand new paths spawn in at specific waves to further complicate building. While it's definitely limiting to have your first six hours be spent with all the interesting main menu options locked while learning the very first game mode, I still find it fun, and I've found the complaints about RNG to be overblown. There's a significant amount of variance in layout and available towers in each run, but there's always been enough tools provided that I feel I would be able to win if I paid attention and put everything in the right place (so far, I have not)

Discendo Vox posted:BETON BRUTAL ($6.99, currently discounted to $5.59) is a newly released game focused entirely on first person platforming up the interior of a massive, hand-designed, overgrown vertical shaft constructed from brutalist architecture. There's no deathtraps, no damage, and also no checkpoints; a fall to the bottom is functionally a full restart, and to get some sense of scale, there's speedrun achievements for clearing the game in 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes- and I find the prospect of clearing it in an hour impossibly daunting, though it starts quite easy and the controls are responsive and fluid. This is great. I love the vertigo meter, which is unlikely to ever fill all the way on purpose but it adds a little extra tension to everything. I've reached the first jump pad section so far, which is a massive difficulty spike but thankfully has a floor that gives you room to practice.

Dungeon Drafters released today, and I've had my eyes on it ever since I saw a trailer https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256943472/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1682606476 this game bucks the card battler trend by being focused on persistent deck design rather than building up from nothing each run, closer to the design of CCGs like yugioh or magic: the gathering. I also like the look of the grid based combat, it looks very Tangledeep despite being in a totally different genre two reviews so far, both positive.
