I bought this game for my son a long time back. He has played it for almost 700 hours and has been through many of the beta updates. He's back at it since it's been released and constantly shows me all the cool stuff they've added or changed since they released it. He even put it in ascii mode and said... this is confusing, but colorful! Makes me happy to see these kind of games are still around and fun.

It's been pretty fun. We had found Gnomoria and I had shown him that one. He started playing it until it went into limbo, and we picked up Ignomia when it showed up. We found KeeperRL due to the Steam "Games similar to what you have played" feature, and while I didn't really get into it very much, my son has played it for many, many hours. It's one of his top ten played games, right behind Terraria and Starbound (of which he has put in almost a couple of thousand hours each).

@@erichvereen1988 he may really like Necesse if he's that big of a fan of Terraria and Starbound. i've really been hooked on that one lately. it's pretty much a top down Terraria but has a big focus on building a working community of survivors. i know Terraria has the NPC villagers, but the system in Necesse is a bit more deep than that. it's damn cheap too and gets great support from the dev.

I want a lizardfolk faction for this game that lets you utilize water tiles for spawning rooms and the like. Summoning allies (more lizardfolk, tentacle monsters, water elementals, etc.) from water tiles, and creating water in places, would make for a cool magic too.

@unnamedenemy9 8 ай бұрын

I'm going to be honest, I put 50 hours into this game and ended up hating it. Some of the stuff that made it miserable may have been fixed (the menus for a lot of stations were a muddled mess that were full of inconsistent formatting and appeared to be randomly generated each time you interacted with the station), but the biggest problem I had is the damage system -- it is trivially easy for even insanely OP creatures to get one-shot or permanently disabled by critical hits, regardless of the hit's actual strength. Get a bunch of archers and you'll delete a dragon, potentially without ever actually doing HP damage, and it can and *will* happen to your OP Keeper or minion, and that's nothing but pure aggravation. It basically makes melee Keepers entirely pointless and heavily incentivizes keeping your Keeper locked in the deepest, most defended part of your dungeon. Splat even mentioned the automatons, and they were how I figured this out about the game's systems -- I had an entire army of insanely durable adamantine automatons, but they were absolutely *butchered* by goblins 20+ levels down. I couldn't figure out why because the game said the goblins were way too weak to be doing so well, and then I controlled an automaton directly and realized that it was the archers inflicting critical effects on the automatons -- disabling their limbs and eventually just auto-killing them with headshots without ever damaging their HP. I straight up uninstalled the game after that. The same thing will happen to your Keeper no matter how much you thug them out. If you think that won't bother you, then the game is probably for you.

could be many things, splat giving wrong info/saying something he'd rather not have public, dev taking it down for whatever reason (embargos and such), and finally the most depressing reason, youtube algorithm not liking the video and burying it, affecting other videos/the channel

@jaycebelea5109 8 ай бұрын
