[@OutLanderUSN]

Never considered mowing down hordes of enemies as "mulching" before now. Thank you for that!

[@0num4]

Doom, Diablo, Warframe...man, you just hit a few key buttons for me! Been a minute since you covered this, and it's looking better than it did last year.

[@Thepher6]

I love to hear Ascent mentioned. That game is a gem! At least as far as art direction, world design, and just how it feels to be in it. A flavour of sci-fi cyberpunk that really goes down smooth and sophisticated. I even made a short video about it for my audience of nobody. This game is kinda going a different approach with tuning the gameplay mechanics as a priority, which is clearly going well.

[@domm6812]

Yeah I agree, the Ascent was actual art. It's just such a shame it's effectively an abandoned game, left with game breaking bugs. My friends and I tried to co-op play it and 2 friends had their character saves wiped ....twice. And it's still not patched. Huge shame, because the game art, music and setting is amazing.

[@JakubVesely-yi1fk]

@@domm6812 ascent is **GORGEOUS** ... but also, it looks sooo much better than it plays, never actually had fun playing it, game feel wasn't really good and covering mechanics are just not fun in anything else than a few FPSs

[@johnwhitfield3547]

Loved the Ascent

[@kvnm5157]

​@@domm6812 Game is abandoned ? Shit 😢

[@blenga2]

WISHLISTING IT RIGHT NOW. Indeed it's too expensive for what it delivers today, but it's probably becoming very interesting in some months.

[@drsquidius]

feels like a crossover between champion of norrath and Whitewolf:Hunter with a warhammer theme

[@BurnerJones]

Oh man. Remembering being a kid and playing champions of norrath at a friends with the multitap.

It’s like watching a pissed off Custodes on a mission 😂 I love it 👌

[@marcbisson9351]

This game gives me Alienation vibes but with a doom esthetic, and I’m down for ALL of that

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

omg - this looks incredible! Like Warhammer Inquisitor if it were a twin stick shooter. Wishlisted! EDIT: THEY WANT $40 FOR THIS???

[@zentonil]

Wow good reference I totally see it

[@AdioAurel]

Yeah right, the pricing is ridiculous. Won't buy it as long as there is no sale for at least 50% off.

[@OldieWan]

The price tag is a bit on the high end for sure. Will wait for a sale too. Better be a deep sale too. 70% at the very least. This company likes to stomp its own toes.

[@SaltyLTD]

Price is outrageous, the devs were posting about it on the Arpg subreddit last week. I told them that it's way too expensive, they dismissed me saying that they have marketed the game for the "right audience" then Said that arpgs cost more to make than roguelike/roguelites. I don't expect this game to ever go on deep sale since the Devs have their heads deep, deep up their own ass. The steam reviews all says it's way too much money for what you get. Steer clear unless you hate having money in your account

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

@@SaltyLTD I can think of at least one recent 1.0 release ARPG that was $30 the entire time it was in EA. Thanks for the warning - sounds like a cash grab.

[@shabeasanravi632]

You're the only youtuber i can watch lol, Man i hope all the good things happen to you, because you've gotten me through bad times with your videos, and i feel like an ass not to be able to join your channel properly. One love brother, also youtube stopped sending me any notifications on your videos the past 2 months

[@BuzzaB77]

I'd love you to do a yearly round up of games that left a mark. You have a unique perspective having played so many in a year compared to most of us, I would find it incredible valuable to know what games left a lasting impression amongst the sea of indies, especially as Indies games are a high bar right now.

[@ChronicNOTAG]

Dayum, it looks way better now! And that chaingun, o lala~! Yeah, I'm gonna keep my eye on this until it's out of early access. Looks exactly like what I've wanted for a long time, and I can only hope it gets a lot better, seeing as its barely the 0.100 version right now. Thanks for putting it on my map, Splattercat.

[@Gentleman_33]

I have been playing this game, basically since it came out, I now have 21 hours on it and it's a blast and if the upgrade from act 1 (which is already pretty solid) to act 2 (which I would go as far as to say is amazing) is anything to go about I'd say this is going to be absolute peak when the full release comes and I would absolutely suggest grabbing it, if not now, when 1.0 drops.

[@cidolfas86]

Oh this is getting wishlisted for sure :D Hope to see this in a 1.0 release "soon" TM.

[@rufusmarmaduke5670]

how did i miss this game? just bought it. thanks.

[@Bones_Ex]

I had no idea this existed. This looks amazing thankyou!

[@davefinfrock3324]

Another one with strong Project: Overkill and Crusader vibes. Good stuff. It's been on my wishlist for a while, but nice to see it making progress.

[@TheAzrai]

Ahh, Crusader my beloved. I still remember playing that in the arcade before getting a PC version.

[@ExtraTrstl]

Appreciate your efforts, Splat.

[@aaronhumphrey3514]

This looks pretty dope. Might pick it up tonight.

[@Savior8701]

Oh, yeah, that's one for the follow/wishlist. Thanks for the heads up.

[@PunultimateGamer]

Looks awesome, wishlisted!

[@LaserStorm117]

Indeed. Been keeping my eye on it, waiting for the game to progress further. I was wondering how the new update was. Thanks for showcasing it and sating my curiosity. Hopefully they're getting closer inline to content vs asking price, because it seemed a bit high the last time I checked.

[@markfreeman5539]

Well, I went to wishlist it, and holy moley, that price point is STEEP for an early access indie game. That is a gate that is going to stop a LOT of people.

[@mkaleborn]

Thanks Splattercat! A great showcase. Looks fun, but will keep it on Wishlist for now. Waiting for more content and maybe a good sale. But looks good.

[@mhjmstultiens]

Looks awesome. Definitely looking forward to its 1.0 release.

[@AnTiBoDyNL]

Thanks for mentioning this game, bought it..

[@chrisstokoe3169]

Can't wait for this to be finished right up my street

[@MisogynyMan]

I was literally thinking the last couple of days, that I wish there was a kind of action RPG that was futuristic instead of medieval fantasy, and here it is. Going to look into this. Been playing a lot of Diablo, POE and Last Epoch lately, and wanna try something different.

[@Mikester88]

Its crazy how under- utilized that setting is. Sure, i love me some sword and sorcery but some scifi Arpgs should not be that hard right?

[@Xerachiel]

Have you tried warhammer 40k inquisitor?

[@Mikester88]

@@Xerachiel yeah, the same year it released. Played through the story. Huge 40k nerd. Should love that game but god damn it was horrible, so slow, boring and extremely repetitive. Both the Warhammer and wh40k aRPGs have been so bad, such s bummer!

[@PapaRunebeard]

ascent ?

[@Lokerbar]

This looks like an absolute bang-bang-banger!

[@PrivateInfo-xe1cl]

This looks great! Price is a bit steep for limited content, but as it is early access I can't judge it on that...yet. Hope they consider a demo version!

[@PetersonJoseph]

This looks really cool so far! Lets see how 1.0 ends up looking.

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for showcasing. ^^

[@Hjylps]

Dude... Crimsonland? That's a blast from the past. What a great game.

LOL, Matt, you rattled through that outro on full auto, with your Cheerio Box clenched tightly! 🤣😲

[@fiftymakdaddy7201]

This game looks really fun, i will have to give it a try. Thank you.

[@GrimnirLaguz28]

I looked at the game on steam and....From what I have seen in the video, how the hell does it have only 64 reviews?! It looks so damn cool, certainly will add it to my wishlist and give it a go once I am done with V Rising.

[@TricksterArts]

Honestly we messed up the initial early access launch last year when we released the game prematurely without modding and shop system. People felt that the game is empty and there was an agressive review accusing us of being scammers and that was last nail in the coffin and halted our sales. We worked hard added missing features, doubled the content and now are really glad we've got another chance!

[@jegnur]

@@TricksterArts but still.. $35 in early access...

[@user-gk6gf1lq9x]

Exactly what I was looking for after the recent Vampire Survivors update.

[@Harothir]

This is a good start to a Warhammer ARPG! I'd love that.

Hey SplatterCat. I have wathced your channel since 2012 or 2013 or so. I'm glad you're getting to be a big shot now. Recently I noticed LegacyKillaHD started doing the cam thing and uhh... he's... he's u. anyway keep rocking!

[@naradadasa7554]

I hope these developers appreciate the advice and expertise and use it wisely. thanks

[@dustinbesser4780]

Never heard about it....But, with a good bit of variety added and content, this could be one I buy.

[@DevilDr]

Ooh DoomabloFrame. I like that one

[@peezieforestem5078]

Looking forward to when they add more loadout and enemy variety.

[@VRGalaxy_762]

This looks a little like The Ascent. I still want that game too. Looks like a fun romp. The Steam reviews seem to suggest that the game needs more content and needs to be more fleshed out. I like the twin-stick gameplay style and the graphics do look nice. I'll have it wishlisted for later :)

[@brianawilk285]

Id throw in warhammer inquisitor too. This game looks like a lot of fun and love the graphics.

[@jrmarcus]

The game had you at mini-gun.

[@SpecShadow]

this guy is no longer annoyed by "Pon Pon sht" he demands it after booting the game to play non stop

[@DarthSchum]

😃I love the game (CP77, not DH), but it is not a gratituous reference. In the gaming industry, we almost always see a one-for-one conversion rate in prices between dollars and euros, so the concept of eurodollars seems relevant to me in this context. And Ô joie, there is an abbreviation for it. So I am actually surprised the expression is not more widely used in the media.

[@sinappanis]

Would love to see them make the UI customizable. Atleast moveable but preferably be able to resize stuff and move it. I would move hp and dodges to the middle more

[@chucheeness7817]

this deserves some kind of pun, like _Gungeon Siege_

[@l0rf]

Boooo! Too accurate...😂

[@user-lk4ge3ns2g]

actually it's closely relative to hades in terms of gameplay feel, from what i can see

[@phillgizmo8934]

A good idea is to put a mini hud above the head of PC, because those important hud in a corner on a big display is out of focus vision. Two thin stripes (as mana/health bars) as vertical side borders of your screen are very well visible with peripheral vision. I remember thinking about that while cursing at the smallest hud in "the ascent". Like the indication of damage you deal is always displayed above their heads, but your HP bar stays in a corner and extra flashes when taking damage are a premium feature in next DLC. Another advise I'd give to low level stylistic art games is to create a slider of color palett in the option menu. I already imagined how I'd change it in this title. And never forget to repeat, mono color icons are lazy and lame and a inshittification of the interface science, for daltonics/colorblind there should be a switch in the options menu.

[@joeyj6808]

In all honesty, my life contains enough dread that I seldom need to hunt up more.

[@AdioAurel]

[@fett_420]

​@@AdioAurelNobody is forcing you to support early access.

[@MarkDeSade100]

@@fett_420 It's not about forcing, it's about incentivizing people to support early access. The reason people are willing to risk buying an unfinished game is usually because they can get it at a lower price. If that's not the case, there's no reason not to wait until the full game release before spending their money.

[@AdioAurel]

​@@fett_420 Mark already gave you a fitting answer, but another thing worth to mention is that the game released in October 23, over 6 months ago and according to SteamDB there was not a single sale, not even 10% off on Christmas, this tells a lot about the devs. Furthermore there are no other ways to buy the game for Steam.

[@centerfield6339]

​@@MarkDeSade100That's nothing to do with being good people. People will buy if they think it's worth it. Your take on their pricing strategy probably isn't very important, even if it were relevant to this thread.
