[@TheOnlyOrk]

they pay tom to lead, not to pay attention to the glowing red warning beam

[@KuroShishi_Art]

What a neat game. Can't believe that Tom didn't pick Cardio at 15:30 . Hasn't he heard it beats chaos?

[@christopherg2347]

It does add a few unique wrinkles to the VS formula: - Be careful avoiding common and especially tainted upgrades. Upgrades will appear until you finish the item. And those have tons of very small levels. 999 on a tainted even. You need to pick efficient upgrades - non-weapon upgrades have a trade offs - Multiple maps with randomized goals in a Slsy the Spire overworld is AFAIK a unique idea

[@liastaob]

This, and a lot of games like it, really need a good sound and/or visual indicator of when you're taking damage. There's usually soooo much going on that you can be annihilated quickly without even realizing it. That beam the boss at the end was using was almost impossible to see.

[@AnonBlade]

One thing about this game is if you're using a controller it vibrates when you take damage, and that's the only time it vibrates. Obviously that doesn't work for M&K so yeah, sound indicators would be nice

[@APineappleR]

It's a part of why my default build in this game is high defense+regen so it's impossible to take damage. It just becomes a matter of dealing damage

[@liastaob]

@@APineappleR I've played this a bit, now (thanks Tom!). It reeeeeally needs some feedback on when you're getting hit. Also, when the bosses die, a little noise or something would be cool; or maybe a bit of an animation. Right now they just unceremoniously disappear just like a regular enemy and it's kind of underwhelming. Other than that, it's a pretty cool take on VS.

[@PierceArner]

Man, that is one _gorgeous_ art style, and a fusion of a couple game types that I am really in to. Thank you, Tom for slowly filling my library with these games I'd probably never have found otherwise.

[@monkeyfeed908]

Hey Pierce, hows it going.

[@PierceArner]

@@monkeyfeed908 Goin' decently! Hope you're well as well!

[@bodhi4094]

Oh man! Not sure if I was just imagining it, but it seemed like the more enemies killed in an area, the bloodier it got, and that is just so super cool

[@loveisinportant5570]

There's a blood splatter effect under mobs when they get killed, yes.

[@Delishtomo]

Feels weird progressing _upward_ through a map rather than down, like in Peglin... Probly cus of all the Peglin... lol

[@liastaob]

I felt the same way! I think Slay the Spire is bottom up, so maybe that's the way this game is going.

[@magicstew45]

@@liastaob I thought STP was sideways left to right like FTL

[@huntermcintosh8173]

@@magicstew45 No that's Across the Obelisk

[@loveisinportant5570]

The game dev lists Slay the Spire as an inspiration, so that's where the map progression is taken from.

[@Thoran666]

Yeah, must be a Peglin thing because people usually orient a map so they know what's ahead and that means up.

[@dieinhonesty]

He used the term “tilt-shift” and I liked

[@fishpop]

9:30 It's Dr Livesey!!! XD

[@J3553xAnotherFan]

Rogue: Genesia is one of my favorite games in the Survival Rogue-like genre. Its kind of a Japanese style Fantasy RPG in the fact that world difficulty is based on an Alphabetical Rank scale. Unfortunately there are only two World Ranks out right now, but you can play them in either campaign or survival mode. The higher the rank the world the more biomes you fight through. There ARE a lot of weapons & weapon combinations though. It's fun to build as traditional RPG classes and only picking soulcards that fit those roles.

[@galenfirestone]

This is to Super Ghouls and Ghosts what VS is to Castlevania. And I dig that.

[@griffingillispie8875]

Glad you checked out this game, I enjoy it a lot.

[@TechnoGhosty]

the walking meme was Dr. Livesy, and i dont care how outdated that is now, its still one of my favourites in recent times lmao never gets old!

[@Allan003]

MORE OF THIS!!!! Please and Thank You... and sorry if I sounded overly aggressive, that wasn't my intent. I am just an excited Canadian!

[@TheJebbu]

More, Tom. MORE! This is awesome! Such a great hybrid!

[@DrBocks]

Was ready for you to pick this one up, one of favorites so far, just as a heads up it has lots of meta progression with achievements unlocking new cards, so keep it up foe a bit

[@zomble_z]

I have to say, I love this combination of game elements and the art style is one of my absolute favorites. Thanks for showing it off Tommy boy!

[@Zyere100]

Honestly, I kinda wish this was a sponsored one because I'm picking this game up now. Thank you for shedding light on the lesser known diamonds in the rough!

[@Tuppence442]

Really digging the music in this game - it reminds me of something that wound be on the amazing TimeSplitters soundtrack

[@sorenthekirin3921]

I wanted this game just on the art style alone, but the gameplay itself is just wonderful!

[@loveisinportant5570]

I beat you to playing this one as well! It's a great example of how the genre can evolve and become better, rather than regurgitating clones. For anyone playing: You unlock about twice as much as what you start with. You'll keep getting 'achievements' done and they all unlock new cards, idols and weapons, so keep playing, it feels like a whole different game when you unlock a bunch of stuff. Also, the stat bonuses are multiplicative, so you can get some crazy combinations (I think the highest % damage I got was 33k%).

[@cowmancheese]

Noone likes evil birds, but we ALL get behind Beautiful Flying Women!

[@bluestormingdragon7716]

its very octopath traveler artstyle. which is beautiful

[@seanpope1890]

"the arrows are killing enemies far away" That's why you should save the grabber till the end

[@DinkleBerryFarms]

Coming from New Mexico, USA, GREAT JOB TOM, always enjoy the random games you showcase

[@WolchBot]

I played a bit of this game and really enjoy it, my only real complaint is sometimes you can just grind out the elite kills for way too long where in other games you would get mobbed and killed

[@slasher8765]

nothing is more frustrating than watching tom run from xp

[@joshuahammerii7329]

Need more of this, perhaps even a super chill where you do several runs trying different builds

[@danhaggerty847]

I've always liked to refer to those eye monsters as flyballs.

[@natedogrules97]

Dammit Tom, I just bought Brotato and Her Name Was Fire, and now you got me to buy this too.

[@Raida7]

Oh man, I realised when the red laser sight came from the boss and Tom didn't move... he hadn't seen it

[@Cyberpansy]

This is such a fun game to watch. Really pretty with a ton going on all the time on screen. 🙌

[@Ashendal]

"I love pickup range increases!" Ignores the pickup range increases and complains about missing experience.

[@incredimazing]

The Angory Tom garuntee.

[@korfits44]

Can we get a full playthrough of settlement survival it's finally released as a complete game

[@ItsRinaldo]

Tom ignores defense and goes pure damage? :shockedpikachu:

[@pnlrogue1]

Enjoyed this. MOAR!

[@palmtree476]

Having played this game, I knew tom would struggle with his first boss fight. rip

[@EzekielHateable]

Great video as always.

[@MrMnicholls2]

Loved the look and feel of this game

[@BlareWolfgang]

So cool! Love how it looks ❤

[@Spacklatard]

7:40 Gilgamesh's ring is tainted? Aren't they all?

[@Potato8884]

Looks like a real cool game!!

[@TMarlands]

I'd love to see Tom try another run or two

[@Scumtzu]

but that walking man meme, what is?

[@Echo_Joey]

Cool game! Do play more!

[@saltsmoke]

I'd say play more of this cause it looks really cool, but they pay tom to lead not to read

[@joshprice8158]

You should do more!

[@MrMrchatcity]

I played t his a few weeks ago its pretty good

[@divamon5602]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@DrFilch]

*A-Bam*

[@TheTaoZun]

loved this

[@a.cunningham4974]

Ah Shit- .beat drops-

[@moldiworp9143]

Due to math, it's better to leave higher % cards for later if you can. I would love a card lock/freeze.

[@samloveday2470]

He had a Fucking gun lol

[@samloveday2470]

woah thank you mr Tom, very generous

[@colinkilz7277]

Ive been playing this game since I watched this video and holy shit its just a great freaking game, go buy it now idiots!

[@kezmsfilms1300]

Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1058 OOOOOO another fantastic Survivors, and I do agree, really love the style :D I do hope to see more Kind of reminds me of Peglin with the levels God XD I did not expect the Boss to be the Good Dr XD ha ha WOW, that end, just died so fast XD

[@fanis1414]

Daily reminder that you're a cringy attention whοre Day 69

LOL so funny and SOOOO quirky! TEE HEE...... ............... ...... no

[@5Andysalive]

game reminds me of somehtign. Can't put my finger on yet...

[@Flippirino]

Ooh wee

[@millenntan12]

please dash hahahaa

[@AlanW]

nice

[@CrossBreedTacoHD]

why does tom hate crits :(

[@dustinherk8124]

so another vampire survivor clone

[@kingckfu]

Honestly I got bored of this one super quick, the enemies don't seem that interesting, and the progression is basically cookie clicker style with letter ranks (f - e - d etc.) so one A rank upgrade or monster is like a thousand or ten thousand f ranked upgrades or mobs. No characters just the same base dude. It was fun enough for a few hours, but right now, it's just not for me.

[@LegendSF]

It's amazing that developers are still slapping bloom 'n' blur on pixel art and convincing people it doesn't look like shit.

[@tidyyy]

have you given up on playing good games? it's all "kill some things in an arena and get a level-up to be more killy"

[@BrendanGeormer]

Can't believe this game copied the Peglin map smh

[@dragonzord6615]

survivor games are very much overdone and kinda shit now..
