monster train is fun and not really much like sts imo, except there's cards. one thing that's nice about monster train is if you have a bad run you end up dying pretty quick in my experience, instead ol like in sts where you can keep limping along until the middle of the 3rd area and you die after 30 minutes. fun game

i got a duo ability with demeter and artemis that turned my cast into insanely fast honing lasers. well the demeter ability did that alreay. BUT the duo ability made it WAY better. but i still lost on the last boss again fuuuu.

also hades and spelunky etc are NOT roguelikes. :middlefinger: FOR a real rougleike experience check out rogue legacy. it has rouge in the title and its called "legacy" because it carries on the legacy of the original rougelike games

any imps get a Spelunky 2 W yet? I got real close on a shortcut run but I don't think I'll count it til I get it from 1-1. The normal route final boss is also kind of bullshit without some sort of a projectile weapon, much more along the lines of the secret Spelunky 1 boss than Olmec

edit: also what's everyone's preferred route? I'll take Jungle if I've got a bunch of money for the black market or if I've got a good back slot item already or made progress on the Kali altar because there are usually a ton of guys to sacrifice there. Otherwise I'll go Volcana because it usually feels easier and Vlad's Cape is really sick. And outside of completionism I feel no desire to go for Temple instead of Tide Pool -- I guess the former is easier to reach if you're going for the Ankh but I'm just trying to beat the game normally right now and not gently caress with that poo poo

edit edit: I think going Volcana->Temple is the only way to get the Alien Compass that gets you into the Mothership though? And I believe there's a character unlock behind that so I'he gotta try it at least once

Bro im not reading a megathread that combines multiple games in several distinct genres all them being not-roguelike

if you get aphrodite attack on the hidden fists it basically negates the drawback, amazing

the problem with the gun is it feels bad to use.. the reloading feels bad and the shooting feels bad. they borrowed the active reload aspect from Synthetik another hit indie trasure not-rougelike that people call roguelike for some reason, but unlike Hades the whole game is about shooting guns, and making thee gun shooting feel good, isntead of bad.

I escaped twice but I didn’t unlock any hidden aspects what gives

achilles eventually tells you about the hidden aspect of the spear and then you start unlocking the rest. you may have to spend blood on the spear also, since you have to spend like 4 or 5 to get the other aspects after tthe spear

Oh for gently caress sake I just learned about using aspects long after running out of blood.

u get more blood (or items you can trade for blood) after beating the game once, there's difficulty levels and stuff.

I hate the gun with my life. I know it has the cool rocket launcher upgrade and stuff but nothing will make me enjoy using it. That and the spear are the two weapons I just don't like using, though the aspect of Hades is kool

i like the hades spear, and guian yu spear. and achilles spear is okay once you dont some blud into it.
