[@nynonayno2297]

Just in case people are wondering why the first Boss took so long, it is simply because NL decided to skip every enemy from the first area (or rather he was not aware that the red squares were encounters), so he of course did not add any additional cards into his deck and was fighting with only the base deck.

[@phuuc8075]

Speedrun strat.

[@VcentGplaysGames]

Yeah I was gonna say this... he basically played Slay the Spire, and somehow ignored every combat so he went to the first boss with the default deck of basic strikes/defends XD of course it would be painful.

[@curtisgoldthorpe6656]

Classic Egg move

[@snowballandpals]

What a noob

[@Wolfsheim23]

Ah I was about to say this game is ridiculously slow. Now it makes perfect sense, but also you should have lost. Too easy to have beat a boss like this. Maybe because of tutorial?

Seems like a slugfest tbh.

[@VertFirstQuestion]

@@TheNemkris tbf im blaming half of that on NL

[@budspudsy436]

@@VertFirstQuestion It was all NL's blame, actually. He chose to skip over every encounter, all of which would have given him cards lol

@@budspudsy436 I was watching him just click past them like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NL THE FIRST ENCOUNTER IS THE EASIEST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*gains 5 energy* NL: I am going to use 3 energy and discard *Dies* NL: there was nothing I could do dood

[@rolfsoldaat]

To be fair it wouldn't have saved him regardless.

[@istilldontcare2]

Rolf Soldaat he did it more than once

[@tylersavitz1529]

@@rolfsoldaat It actually does save him I think! if the ten percent adds 1 damage minimum to his attacks, which I think it does

[@Bewnnit]

there seems to be no discard pile, correct? so every hand always has the same chance to give you the one strong card u need? (while not inflating the deck)

[@XypherFTW]

Thats actually great because it makes tutor cards way more valuable for synergy

[@borisabramkin9025]

nah, draw pile in the left bottom corner, dicard pile in the top right

[@Foyfluff]

@@borisabramkin9025 Nope, there is no discard pile in this game

[@theviewerofart]

@@Foyfluff correct, the card pile in the top right doesn't grow larger or smaller as you cycle cards. I wonder whether perhaps it's the enemy's deck? Did I miss something in the video where it's explained?

[@Kingwut117]

does NL wipe his memory banks on how to manage a hand with discard effects every time he boots up a new roguelike?

[@stormcmmdr1412]

I know, it physically hurt Everytime he used last resort even tho he had the energy to heal as well... Welp that's first looks I gues

[@TyrannisUmbra]

I've pointed this out before, but he's one of a certain brain type that can't easily make connections between the same mechanic working in two different contexts. He needs to build from the ground up in the new context. This is also why he can do something fine but the moment a second mechanic is thrown in that changes the way the first one interacts, he'll keep doing the same mistake over and over trying to figure out why it stopped working. One of my friends is very similar in the way they think.

[@frostad8444]

Fun to watch wouldn’t mind seeing more!

[@matthewslomka1948]

That moment when NL nails reading the Roman numerals, but self-doubt creeps in

[@jurajkuna2228]

oof I felt that

[@shedrich1]

13:50 Am I dumb or did scrapping a card say $22 but only cost him $2 ? I'm assuming alpha bug.

[@VertFirstQuestion]

>2 flashing dots on the map NL: naaah must be nothing lemme just go to next floor Just as expected from the guy who played 60000 hours of isaac

[@lelandhutchinson3374]

I really hope you give this a shot this is super cool nl.

[@davidballantyne4492]

I really don't know how Egg can play so many deckbuilders and still end turns with unspent energy and useful cards, or play cards that discard some/all of his hand when he could play other cards first. Well, the distraction of chatting, I suppose, but I am surprised this hasn't become muscle memory yet.

[@TheDDLDProductions]

This man can't keep getting away with it... consistently putting out pogged NL tries one after the other. The dinosaurs would be losing their shit over this

[@Northernlion]

narrator voice: he can keep getting away with it

[@killermelga]

I have to say. Starting a game by buying cards without knowing a single game mechanic probably isn't the best introduction to the game

[@Rivers256]

4:48 Frankly I like the idea of a giant Northernlion head with a spaceship attached, flying around, shouting memes, spreading the Canadian accent across the globe. Good times man.

[@NicolaeHolley]

I got my hands on a really jank Alpha of this game a while back, and even that was pogged as heck. If you had a free time slot, I'd ask for a series.

[@Darthgipsyjoe]

Just the kind of game I was looking for. Hope it's good.

[@KrillinInTheNameOf]

Look man, I'm sitting here trying to get good at Monster Train and then you show me this? I can only play so many rougelite deck builders.

[@startledpossum]

I hope to see more of this!

[@vanixiii5657]

I see Egg still loves living on the edge...having 5 energy and a heal+shield card in hand that costs 1 but instead instantly plays last resort sacrificing his whole hand and wasting 2 energy ;-;

[@NekoiNemo]

11:26 "should've learned to read". Careful, NL is learning from his mistakes 15:10 Nvm, he didn't learn a thing, false alarm.

[@LuneLuke]

Don't particularly like the idea that you just get 5 random cards from your deck each turn rather than cycling through (At least that looks like how it worked) but seems a pretty cool game!

[@PandaTail]

I heard that reference to "Shoes" from 2006!

[@wanemoreletsplays9401]

"Taking off a little pyre health." Oh no, he's probably dreaming about Monster Train now

[@Aerysun]

Ok so he missed 2 plasma shots on the last boss because of discards when he didn't need to. I would have liked to see that run go further

[@Pedroebut]

This is really cool!

[@Doublet2172]

Absolutely POGGED out of my mind watching NL play this, hopefully he does more episodes

Guess they don't teach Roman Numerals in Canadian schools then.

[@Droid15243Z]

I live in America and they don't teach them here either. I learned because of video games. :P

[@ACESM3LLY7]

Just wanted to let you know, NL, you lost that fight because the boss had 12 health left. Two of your basic attacks do 12 damage. You discarded two of your basic attacks right before and during the last turn because you played you hand out of order LMAO

[@nikodemossowski4621]

he didn't lose in the tutorial, he had to give us SOMETHING

[@iurypiva8371]

After monster train the capitalist version of monster train that our man played not long ago, these slay the spire versions feels just, basic ... Fun none the less, but lacks some units

[@jonesy8700]

The art style of this game is sick

[@IndelacioLetsPlay]

c is 100 l is 50 you were right before you doubted yourself, I know 50 rarely gets used but yeah, and m is 1k I think there's more high numbers which'll never get used in our lifetimes too.

[@legion999]

C is 100, L is 50

[@sjurgaustad5531]

Can I just say how frickin' sweet it is to be a complete sucker for deckbuilders AND follow NL's channel? Sure, it can get hella expensive, but ... this game got bought!

[@tylersavitz1529]

I did the math there at the end and right berfore the last turn, NL you discarded your hand! I think that strike you didn't use would have been enough to kill the boss. He was at 64, so -33, -8, -8, -8, -6, -6 is just enough to kill! I enjoyed the video a lot, but the ending had me malding just a slight bit. I liked this one a lot regardless, great video!

[@salmonator4877]

NL I’ve spent nearly all day trying to find a clip of you killing Easy Pete .

[@pupondrun]

EWW there isn't a discard pile... You just redraw your deck every turn...

[@kylemccarthy6908]

Make a series pleaseeeee i miss fpl

[@finnnguyen7660]

For those who wondered. Nl could have won by playing Plasma burst before last report as it discard your hand and NL thought that he only have 3 "energy" but he actually have 5 due to the boost up.

[@TheRealPunkachu]

Seems very unpolished. Unfortunate since the premise is really good but hey, maybe it'll be great given a little time.

[@TheRealPunkachu]

Okay, just saw it was in alpha at the end of the video so I'm relieved.

[@cameronjohnson5671]

Wow NL knows shoes, weird

[@thismightbeyou]

Having the cards not function like a deck seems terrible. No discard pile literally means you can just get 5 shields up every turn in a likely lottery each turn. Haven't seen how often you can cull cards as you do in these deckbuilder roguelikes, but this system you can literally buy a card and never see and use it since the random nature.

[@ALKnoob]
