I would love for devs to give the community a steam workshop so they could make mods for this. The endless amount of hours i can pour into this omg

[@Arrynek01]

it might come. The game is pretty much early access right now.

[@JK-jw3po]

I was expecting alot more content because I didn't see it's early access when I bought it. So after you beat act 3 and get some upgrades, items and potions you get very strong. It kinda removes a big part of the challenge, you basically can't fail a run anymore no matter what traits you take. But I think this will change with updates, and as you said a workshop would be so fcking awesome. Also the game is only 5€, 4€ on sale atm and that is a much higher value than any game I have bought in a long time. Already easy 10/10 if you like the genre.

[@-Aidan]

@@JK-jw3po Great value for the game in early access, and yeah I've been loving this game currently just finishing off the last few achievments and collecting the remaining items! excited for future updates!

[@ToyokaX]

If you like this type of game I recommend Boneraiser Minions, which is similar in gameplay (a *liiiitle* bit more passive, as you don't actively control your attacks, sorta like Vampire Survivors. But you do get a dash which can be upgraded/modified during gameplay) and has more content and a leaderboard, plus a newgame+ mode (as well as other game modes, including a card game) where you can basically try to get as high a score as possible.

[@Sympanet]

@@ToyokaXJesus Christ you’re really hard for this game you’re shelling, Boneraiser dev.

[@tahroo4262]

This is by far the best Bullet Heaven game I've played. Asmon should come back to it for the two new maps and characters.

[@Shaabhekh]

I'd like to see randomized final boss spawns; that way you can have a larger selection and not 100% know which boss you'lll get until you hit the timer. More maps too, but randomized final bosses would be cool imo.

[@JK-jw3po]

Infinite mode would be cool too. Every 10 min you get a boss or something. After reaching character lvl 100 the restriction to perks gets reset, so you can take different uprgade paths while still keeping the ones you took before.

[@EraofDawn]

First time watching an Asmongold playthrough the entire video length. Commentary was gold! More of this game please...

[@96Logan]

Can't wait for more content so Asmon can play this more. Like 1-2 hours of content on KZbin is so nice to just sit back and relax. The entertainment value between this and vampire survivors is top tier.

[@SnakeEater503]

I agree. Just an amazing game whether indie or not. Hella props to to the developers and I wish they get huge recognition and can continue to create more for this game and hopefully expand to more. Hella awesome game. Also props to the other game before this that inspired this. You know who you are.

[@Gurtington]

This would have been a TRIPLE AAA game if it had come out in '99 and/or '00.

[@letari2252]

I'd love to see Asmongold revisit Vampire Survivors at some point. The game has so much new stuff since he last played it.

[@ToyokaX]

Not to mention, co-op mode is coming soon-ish also.

[@kaislate]

Orbs are the best ability in the game, but i haven't seen them at their peak in any videos. You never take the shrink area upgrade, you unlock all orbs, max area %, and only take the 3 attribute orb upgrade. Then max movement speed with the sorceress (she'll have +12% options). You get the orbs spinning so fast they become a cloud. You don't even need basic attacks at that point. You can run full speed through every mob.

[@joelwillis2043]

Just did 18+ million with the blades.

[@rainbarfrex3434]

So... the orbs are just exactly identical to the books in Vampire Survivors?

[@FuckoffgoogleGetDoxxed]

Orbs are op, Fireballs, Shuriken, Radiant (with debuffs). Prob the best ones after that the proj debuff.

[@ix8750]

Yeah they help for leveling but they don't help against the end bosses of each level very well in my opinion. I like the inner orbit ability upgrade.

[@Navi_xoo]

@@rainbarfrex3434 Not exactly no. They are similar though. There are other games before Vampire Survivors that had similar items.

[@miloszivkovic6256]

I noticed a pattern with these kind of games, once you upgrade permanent passives it no longer matters what build you use because you become too powerful

[@PaulHindt]

I'd like to see them make the item direction indicators a little bit bigger around the edges of the screen. I didn't even notice them for the first hour or so of playing the game with my old man eyes. I'm talking about the little indicators which show you which direction to travel to find certain items in the level (magnets, keys, pickups, etc). Also, there's a small bug with the analog stick controls when playing on a gamepad. The game will sometimes snap your aiming in the opposite direction if you let go of the right stick too quickly. They need to add a little bit of hysteresis on the right analog stick input for aiming.

[@tylerp7522]

He needs to unlock his freaking potions lol

[@ItsMrAssholeToYou]

[@jameseddleman6944]

a rouge with throwing knife base attack that bleeds ice wizard with awesome pierce abilities druid that uses poison and stuns alchemist that uses explosive flasks but I really think they should have a level 55-60 variation of the base attack of all characters that goes with whatever your traits build up to.

[@silence433]

Two things I hope the game implements in the future: 1. additional well retrieval chance, meaning one for the Cupbearer once you complete his quest and one for an item. It really sucks having to decide to extract another potion or a new piece of gear. 2. Magnet drop chance. Somehow Asmon gets the luck of the Gods finding 3-4 magnets per run (or on screen at once) but most the time that's not the case. Sometimes you never find one past the additional spawn and it doesn't feel great Other than that, 10/10 game. Sorceress and Shield Maiden are my favorites so far, Exterminator seems a bit weak but I don't have great gear for him either

On the second stage, you can walk across the final boss’ orbs and they have a delayed explosion. This will get them off the screen and direct your minions to the boss.

this game solves all the issues i have with ARPG, which are questing and main story leave the fake longevity stuff to MMORPGs, or make a campaing mode like starcraft 2 and warcraft 3, i care about the grind and progression only, this game + tier sets and seasonal content = perfect

[@goodolarchie]

Balls of Torment WERE really good that first run. Transfix and main attack were farming dps on the squishies outside while balls were lawn mowing the ghosts for 1 damage. Light is most OP vs bosses. Don't get hung up on damage / dps level 3 it's about removing close threats.

[@Tdiehl717]

Like your idea of having an item drop for that specific map randomly with cool mods is sick. I instantly think they could do something similar to leagues in path of exile. The game has a great base. Hope it sticks around

[@Haude92]

Here's an (old) really good idea: In Warcraft 3 there were some really fun 1v1 or 2v2 maps, where you could send enemies to other players with gold you earned and they would send them to you. With enemies sent you would create more income and your goal is to defeat the other player. These maps were really fun to play, but I've seen nothing that comes close to this type of game. It would be the best thing ever, if they would add that to Halls of Torment. With the character variety etc. this could be so much fun!!! Hope you played these too Asmon and you can help to promote it somehow!

He had no problems killing the boss as is. Even with the crystals, i died 5 times before i got him 😅the secret seems to be upgrading skills at level 3 and 6 with the scrolls instead of just adding new ones, as they become very powerful. And the XP amulet helps a lot in the beginning to get levels quickly

[@Cheeseberry69]

@@killerspartan666 The amulet the blood trail gives you (both halves combined) reduces the final bosses health by 50% on each phase. It's not a one and done like Asmon thought it was, you need to do it every time *if you want/need the boss to have reduced health*. Eventually you do get powerful enough not to need it, but obviously that's not the reason I mentioned it.

[@ToyokaX]

@@HNedel Some skills don't really need the upgrades (ie. lightning strike) but some skills definitely get a lot of mileage out of the level 3 and level 6 upgrades. It depends on what class you're playing though and what you intend your build to achieve.

The warlock is the highest dps based on the ingame dps counter for me personally, I have hit 13 million damage with a 22k dps on the wraiths and I think that falls on the damage distribution capabilities of said skill.

The imps are not even that bad, you just have to disable damage numbers. Whats really bad is the upgrade for fire wave where you get a fire beam.
