I Played 5 NEW Rogue-likes You (Probably) Haven't Heard Of

[@zambrial]

Sorry about the lack of game audio after the first game, I messed up in the editing and accidentally lowered it. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again! 🙃

[@acquij]

Speaking from experience, that's just one of those things that kind of need to happen but once they do, one never forgets to check for that issue again.

[@zambrial]

I definitely won't forget again lol

[@FlatThumb]

I have to check some of these out! Looks like a great batch!

[@zambrial]

Did any of them stand out to you?

[@FlatThumb]

Helskate since it looks like it has similar mechanics to the game I'm making! Also inspired by Tony Hawk. I also thought Realm of Ink looked promising - nice and snappy combat! @@zambrial

[@zambrial]

@@FlatThumb Definitely agree about Realm of Ink! I'm hoping that Helskate polishes up a bit more in Early Access as it does feel a little clunky atm. What's the name of the game you're working on?

[@FlatThumb]

@@zambrial the game we are working on is AHOD: All Hands on Deck! It is a naval combat deckbuilder with roguelike elements. It is a work in progress (making games is hard!) but we have a public playtest demo live on Seam.

[@zambrial]

I added it to my wishlist 🙂

Nice video. I played Helskate and as much as I enjoyed Tony Hawk games, I realized I am not good at them so it was a little tough, but I can definitely see the value there.

[@zambrial]

I agree, I think there is a bit too much going on. I was having a tough time weaving in attacks while skating. Sucked I couldn't change my keybindings but I think the game has a lot of potential for sure.

This is seriously my new favorite series of yours. Great video as always! Ill try to find some games and make some suggestions.

[@zambrial]

Thank you! I'll definitely take a look at anything you suggest! :)

7 months forward in the future, I can totally say Realm of Ink is a great game! I played 8 hours for now and I was able to complete my first run, it's a bit complicated for a lot of RPG components I'm not used to but it's definitely great!

[@acquij]

What happened to the audio after the first game? :D

[@zambrial]

Was it bad? I just moved my mic around a bit.

[@acquij]

@@zambrial No, sry I meant only the first game had any audio from the game, unless it was super low and I didn't hear it?!

[@zambrial]

@@acquij I just took a look at it... I didn't realize that had happened :(

[@coopstain1728]

I dont want to put more work on you than you have to, how easy is it to put chapters in the video for each game you try out? Is it called chapters? lol I dont even know.

[@zambrial]

Honestly, it isn't that difficult but it was doing some funky things to my retention.

[@coopstain1728]

Sorry to send you so many messages. I think in spurts. How did you like the 3rd game? I saw another youtuber say "its the next big roguelike you have to play"

[@zambrial]

It was decent, I actually really liked Realm of Ink out of this batch (4th Game). It was definitely the most fun and had the best combat by far.

[@coopstain1728]

The fourth one is like a mix b/w Diablo and hades. Would be cool to see more of it and if they had the resources to really flesh it out to be a mix of the two. What is the name of it?

[@zambrial]

Realm of Ink
