It's co-op, with 7 playable characters, 15 maps, I think 4 different difficulties and different random upgrades you can get during a defense to add a spicy touch of replayability.

Chunks chasing after you the whole time can become stressful though 🤣.

Nice! I hope it was useful 😁.

Hi and thanks for checking out! This game is great and I am enjoying it a lot even without being a fan of the bullet heaven games. And I got surprised when I was reading the bad reviews with people complaining about lack of replayability, while I was having a lot of fun with the different combinations of spells and casters. The metro map also felt quite unique, and I will be trying it again FOR SURE. Sadly, last stream there was a loud party really close to my house and the sounds were reaching my mic, so I had to stop playing to not get "corrupted" recordings. Thanks again and good luck with the game!

It is a lot of fun!

It does have a parry system that helps you fill a bar (purple), if you do it with perfect timing, to unleash a powerful attack that works as a counter... But you can also get it filled by dashing on perfect timing. So you can go parrying, but you could just get the same benefits by dodging with less risks.

@black_stark2 nice... am looking forward buying it as bundle with "Beserk boy"

Thanks! I had never heard of that game, I will check it out.

I can confirm it's a bug though 🤣. The moment I leveled up, somehow all the enemies' hp got incredibly buffed, that's why every normal enemy was taking me so long to beat. And that boss is only supposed to have 1 HP bar. I am glad I stopped playing though, because normally the second boss has 2 HP bars, so I would have probably had to fight him with over 30 HP bars 😅.

Same here. Not my type of game, but I like to try this kind of genre once in a while. Thanks for checking this out 😁.

I honestly think it is endless, although I have no proof of it.

@black_stark2 i think so i go to room 130 and i want dieeee

@@lokidongorgon4126 🤣 I can imagine. I felt like the game was going to be endless, so I didn't want to give it another try, I had enough fun playing it till room 42 😅.

You're welcome! 😁

I have seen a few people playing that, I haven't really checked out the game or watched any gameplay. Didn't know about 'till last week, what is it about?

I agree with the last part specially. I understand that they would want to take a different direction with the game (making it more fast-paced or more story-based), but temporarily removing a feature that might have been the reason why some people got the game was a huge mistake. The reason why might be the amount of people who were complaining about the game being too hard when playing it singleplayer (opinion I disagreed with). Maybe just adding a singleplayer campaign while keeping the co-op roguelite experience that was Blackout Protocol would have been a better idea? Not really sure, but I really hope they can pull this out one way or another.

Thanks for checking out. Hopefully, more people will get to know this game, I know a lot of people would be up for some co-op fps tower defense.

Yeah, I lowered it a lot, but it still remained loud 🥲.

Oh my god, there are 2 parkour stages that I don't miss at all, the red one with the saws (probably the one you are talking about) and the blue one.

@ mmhm :0 And the uh dash one! Oh my lord my Switch couldn’t handle the frames as they drop xDD I kept dying cuz my Switch slows the game down due to the game having so much lasers & movements

Hi, thanks for checking out. Yeah, I usually don't go for events, but for being a demo I gave events a few chances (in full games, I visit random events even less xD). Oh, so there will be a secret final boss, that's a cool feature. How do you get trinkets besides bosses and shops? Some events will give you some? Also, a thought that could never leave my mind after playing this demo. There were a few events about giving up a card... I thought it was just a "delete a card" bonus, but was I supposed to give up a good card or a specific one? Like the cute little animal one... Was he going to join me if I give something better? I really liked the pets concept, so I am curious how could I have gotten more. I am glad you enjoyed! I did so too 😁!

@@black_stark2 The game is designed to need a good balance of fights and events to be able to get strong enough to beat it. Trinkets (blessings) are found: -in their specific rooms (the portal with a white, sparkling appearance) -drop from mini bosses -drop from bosses (these are the ones with both a positive and negative effect) -from the shop -from some events -from the firepit (if you feed it 5 cards in one encounter) -from optional bosses (4 in total) -from the "enigma" room (you haven't seen) after a boss fight Most of the events in the demo (I'm expanding with more stuff for the actual release) are designed around giving up one card, and depending on what you give up you will get various good or bad rewards. Of the events you've seen: -The hurt white cat you found was meant to be healed. Or killed with an attack. Anything else will give you the card you got. -The pond is where you find one of the optional bosses, and can also accept one specific type of card. (Note that after you've played I've modified a few events so that the game will generally give less "bad" rewards). I saw you really enjoyed the pet, I was happy to see that. There are currently 5 different ones in the demo, and you can get up to 3 in one run. Overall I think the game (and the demo itself) has much more to offer than you saw in your single run :) But as always when someone posts a video of my game, it was very educational for me to understand what I could do to make the game more appealing. Thank you again!

Thanks for checking the video. Oh, I didn't see that replace option, it makes sense. -Yeah, Monster Train is a pack of default cards then some random specific cards depending on the clan and then some random cards from the clan. I haven't really played a lot, so it might not make a big difference, but it would feel better to have something specific for characters (I know the main difference are the attacks, but in deckbuilders I feel like there should be something different in the deck to identify them from each other. -About Retain, probably I would have noticed it at some point and about Undo... I know, but I don't like to do it 😅, it is just a pride thing where I don't like to run away from my mistakes; I feel like that way I can learn better the game and will be more careful while playing.

@@black_stark2 I worried that many players would see Undo as training wheels. However, that's not the intention. Undo is here mainly to let the game be played faster at higher levels of difficulty (so there's no need to calculate then triple-check every turn in advance). Also, Undo allows to try something when you're not sure how mechanics/interaction works, and revert that if it if you guessed wrong. Great example (and inspiration) of Undo feature is Slice&Dice, where experienced players routinely use it to try different lines of play. That said, at lower difficulties it may make the game too easy for experienced gamers like you. So, makes total sense that you ignored the feature there.

@@SvargasName Oh yeah, no worries, I don't think it is a bad mechanic, I just don't like to use them unless it is because of a missclick.

I think it was a thing of one night, because I was checking the reviews and those responses were apparently deleted(?), and he apologized and started with the fixing, balancing and stuff like that. Don't get me wrong, I honestly didn't really enjoy, and I played it 3 months before release, so I am a bit confused about how much they managed to fix or balance in that period, because combat just didn't feel good. With that being said, I didn't really play the full game, so I can't have an opinion regarding that.

Ah yep I can see this is an old build because you also got the issue of enemies not spawning in the level after the second boss, that was also fixed :)

@@Sigfrido91 Yes, October 21! 😅

It is tense! I totally recommend this demo. Let me know what you thought about it after you are done (if you want, of course).

Nope, QWERTY (assuming I know what you are talking about 😅). Yeah, we played this game a few more times (beated the demo even), and it was hard to get used to the shift part, but we managed by just being extra careful. I gotta say, quite an amazing game you are working on here.

🤣

It is supposed to be like that, the solution requires only one, and every time you create a new one, it will replace the previous one.

Oooh, so that's the point of the shiny things. About the secondary shots, I know about them, but I never understood the pistols one. And thank you for reminding me about episode 2, I had forgotten I still need to play that one.

Oh yeah, it does. Have you played it? Because of that, I was supposed to take a break before the last level to clear my mind, but I forgot and went straight to it. Then I had to pause at some point just to take a few minutes to breath.

@@black_stark2 yeah I did, fun little game, and I also had to quit halfway through hard and comeback next day. I think if you ever come back to the game, you should try the "confused mode" (dont remember exact name) i really enjoyed it.

@@antonzverev1939 Oh, so you can just leave it one day and continue where you left it? I wasn't sure about that. I might try some of the extra modes some day. For now I just needed a break after completing the hard difficulty challenge.

@@black_stark2 yeah i think it saves at the start of every level

The cutest.

Thanks! My beard appreciate it 🤣

Have you checked out other similar games? Like Kletka or Pilgrim.

@@black_stark2 I worked hard to get my friends to play Kletka as the ambiance seems really nice and intriguing. We played 5 minutes and a friend had to go so we stopped... After that they were like "nah, I don't like this, let's never play again". I was gutted. I'll keep an eye on it though and probably try to find someone else to play it at some point :D I feel like small indies with a strong visual style + horror may be a hard sell for my group. Pilgrim looks interesting too but same issue with the added difficulty its not a free demo.

@@Beldarak It kinda makes sense, because Kletka can have a really slow start, or there is a chance that you will get destroyed in floor 10. Good thing though is that you can spend a long time playing it (demo is long enough), bad thing is that there is not a lot of content to keep replaying it (speaking of enemies and items). I have different groups depending on what to play, I have a few friends who really like to try this kind of horror games. The silliest, the better for them, that's how I got to play Pilgrim. Also, Pilgrim right now is pretty rough on the edges, but it is being constantly updated, so we are waiting for full release or a few more months to play it again. I didn't mention it, because I thought it was obvious, but did you play Content Warning? Now, that game got me addicted during a lot of weeks.

@@black_stark2 Ah, will keep an eye on Pilgrim then. I didn't play the other games like that yet. Content Warning seems fun but it came out when we were still playing Lethal so it kinda went over our head. I also had my eyes on Murky Waters but lost interest afte watching a few let's play. Piloting the sub didn't seem very fun to me. I may be wrong of course.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

Why dont you have many subscribers u did everything Voice face thats all

@@Tuudmeen I don't really know... If I did, I would have fixed that already 🤣. Maybe just lack of exposure/self-promotion.
