NEW CLASS, THE ASTROMANCER! | Let's Play Rogue Legacy 2: Full Release | 8

[@ABC218_]

reto you can have my epic gamer award for that platforming

[@DylanCulhaneNZ]

Helping to feed the algorithms, GG, looking forward to the next one!

[@suppermike777]

Astromancer is all about dropping the black hole and using it's talent to engage/disengage. You are literally invincible, abuse it. If something is blocking a door like at 44:40 drop the hole on it and use your talent to move in. Running to the door is a loosing game because of the health refresh. If you don't want to take a room just leave and don't re attempt. FND is actually not that bad a a negative trait, it has a decent gold payout and a lot of classes don't suffer badly from it. FND on an archer is free money.

[@tucker5720]

I love watching Retro figure the game out and all the oops that come with it.

[@smargio]

Commenting on the video to support the series

[@NikRsmn]

commenting because engagement is important

[@blasthf]

this series brings many pogs

[@yanderepotatoqueen8769]

I enjoyed the colourless part, and wouldn't mind it every so often

[@tbryantthegreat4625]

Pretty cool

[@tobeavus]

I love seeing you and others play this game in completely different ways

[@shomaruuzunara9274]

The black and white filter was kinda nice actually, once every like 3 videos (roughly every 8-10 runs) would be a good frequency for it

[@Newwby]

Mad RL skills

[@ABC218_]

love this series :D

[@alexstewart9592]

Just a reminder - you read this in-game than apparently forgot - the scar challenges in the memory house keep a high score for each individual class and give rewards for the sum of scores for ALL classes, so keep going in and doing that quick combat challenge whenever you play a class you haven't done it with yet and you will get stuff fairly quickly. Seperatly, I think that I know what that other challenge is, and once you see it you will remember and not like it.

[@moisestejeda774]

Id like to see it every two days or so, its funny I have to say

[@blade4524]

I have a feeling the Colour trail will be a pain in the butt in the next zone with so many projectile’s

[@radioctive9471]

Nice

[@JustinSmith-kg4kb]

Keep this series going for at least a full go through. NG+ is a maybe but for sure a once through the whole shebang would be great! Thanks Reto!

[@jensjesfjeld6238]

I've had this game sitting dormant for a couple years. Gonna have to dust it off and take 'er for a ride.

[@brucedehaai2815]

The colorblind run wasn't that bad to watch but I like it more with color, so I would say that once every 30 runs (or just whenever it shows up) is more then reasonable. Also, love the series man!

[@drewisenman7910]

No, I dont want this to go away! We want more!

[@lindsaycastle3735]

I liked this epp. Rogue legacy 2 looks cool! Didn't mind colorless .

[@TH-dg2mm]

The only trait I refuse to play is the upside down one. It messes with my brain and makes me worse in my subsequent runs.

[@FrogurtGuy]

One of the nice pieces of the play cycle is farm runs. Take the biggest gold bonuses you can find and run the easier zones for big cash monies

[@SuperWillsons]

The disattuned is like a Undertale reference

[@danielhooper152]

I'm alright with the colorblind mode once in a while. Definitely wouldn't say leap on it every time it's available, but it's an interesting change of pace to see now and again.

[@chrisw.4277]

If you're struggling for gold, you should really get that upgrade where certain traits give you more gold. That brings up some gold modifiers to as high as 250%, and opening one chest will give you about 2500 gold. It's pretty broken

[@biggeno8976]

I'm doing this to help you

[@davidyue9930]

Pls Continue playing this game. I’d be sad to see it go

[@Samuel-xs2yv]

Bought this game because of you. Man, it is unforgiving as hell!

[@korticus]

Colorblind was jarring for maybe 30 seconds, but once I settled into it there was basically no problem. I'm curious if I'll have the same reaction to Synthesia!

[@NinjaHammer]

Real chests have shiny sparkles on them. Mimics do not. I hope that helps.

[@johnyshadow]

I just use minimap. It doesn´t show mimics.

[@NinjaHammer]

@@johnyshadow that too

[@howlingzombie1157]

I don't mind the B&W flaw its an interesting point of view in a very colorful game. Honestly just find it fascinating that you seem to have met your match in a rogue game, very humbling to see since you toss the learning curve to the floor and beat these games easy.

[@NotaHandlePushOnly]

Watch, watch? I'm here for the soothing voice dialogue! J/k halfsy, I'm sure a lot of people will admit to turning on some of these things while they work on stuff, or game themselves and listening to a large chunk as well as tuning in when you say or do something curious and interesting. Any way there's a comment to the pile!

[@Junogray]

Love the series, I know already that the game gets into grind hell territory so play till you feel not comfortable playing more, also the black and white looks fine on our end, I enjoyed it as much as the rest of the game play. Love what ya do and you are making quite the progress, real fast

[@willmakesfilms]

dont mind the colorblind bits

[@Terrorkittens]

I really did not mind the greyscale mode of the game! I thought it was quite pretty. There is one mode I can't watch at all because it's too disorienting to me, but I'm unsure if you've found it so I won't tell you which it is. But no, I don't mind the greyscale, nor the sepia one. The Diva/spotlight one can be a bit confusing, though, but it makes up for that by being sweet and rather adorable.

[@christianfoley4001]

Big supports here, love seeing this alongside Revita every morning while I get breakfast ready for my kids! Starts the day off right, keep 'em coming Reto!

[@audreygirard1411]

Colourblind descendant was very visually pleasing. Would absolutely enjoy seeing it on the regular. Is it possible to kick-jump off the targets in the challenges? If so, seems like that would be a very good way to keep your altitude in some of them. Great watching this series.

[@deltaphant_]

Astromancer is definitely my favourite class, it hard carried me through the fifth area!

[@cavemandanwilder5597]

This is one of those games where breaking all of the crates and vases and junk can really save a run. They drop food often enough that anytime I’m not at full HP I break everything in sight. It helps out a ton. It may not make for the most entertaining content tho lol. EDIT: Also, the black and white screen doesn’t bother me at all, knock yourself out.

[@DysnomiaATX]

On that no jump chest challenge I think you could have stayed up by the 2 teleport tubes and shot down through the floor, then tube over to the other side to get the rest of the targets, then drop and dash like you said to get the chest.

[@ayden3136]

I loved Rogue Legacy 1 and I Love Rogue Legacy 2. Love you covering it in an extended series. Tip for when you get to fighting harder bosses, the first area always has 2 guaranteed relic drops that can be really helpful in conserving health in the way to the boss and during the fights.

[@f_Davide_]

I'm dying waiting for a Switch port, I hope I can play this gem one day too👀

[@danieljimenez4716]

I'm dying wating for a PS4/5 port, I hope I can play this gem one day too👀

[@niftyskyblue]

@@danieljimenez4716 I would try to continue the chain, but I would just end up copying OP’s comment. I’m dying for a gem port, I want a good place to display my diamond

[@InsertSerotonin]

Genuine question Retro, why do you not use the portal system during runs outside of the first or niche cases? Love the content

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Astromancer is an interesting class, considering black hole is your primary attack. Don't mind the b&w, though I did think it would make it harder than it did. Synesthesia is gonna be... Interesting. Also I hate to ask, but is there some kind of gold bonus upgrade or upgrade to the safe? I just feel like we should be getting more gold from this zone, if the water one was any indication. Tl;dr new class, more lore, interesting handicaps, I'm satisfied

[@finalscore2983]

I didn't mind the b/w colourblind thing.

[@mrsnackbar9383]

I could see fine with b&w mode. Coming up next episode..... killing things with MS Paint !

[@mitchjmac]

It felt like the first “you can only get hit on your heart” thing didn’t really do anything. Either it just didn’t work. Or all the hit boxes from enemies and traps were large enough that it didn’t make a difference. Or I don’t understand what it’s meant to do.

[@FTAsh]

As a player with more than 100 hours in this game I can definitely tell that it did help. But still keep in mind that it doesn't help with aoe attacks.

[@mitchjmac]

@@FTAsh that’s fair. I probably just couldn’t notice it when it did help.

[@mrzeilm]

Try going to a zone with the arrow traps, then stand on the edge of one with a character that "can only get hit on the heart". You can really see the difference in your hit box.

[@kevincolwell3066]

I hope this does not come across as back seating. As an idea consider when you get a class that is not that strong but with a big gold bonus try hitting the early areas instead of pushing into harder zones it seems like the early zones have more loot and it easier to get.

[@johnyshadow]

Easier yes, but later areas have more gold. (In chests, anyway.) In the end, it comes to Reto´s playstyle. He keeps rushing the next area/boss, ignoring previous areas most of the time. And it can be a valid strategy on occasion, but you really miss on a lot of gold, relics and "health apples". (2 guaranteed relics in 1st area, 3 in 3rd. 1 relic and 1 apple in 4th, and I think 1 apple in 2nd. That I know of for certain.) Of course, shorter runs probably work better for a series than doing full-clears. (Though there comes a point where I was doing full-clears up to the 5* area just to afford a single expensive upgrade.)

[@braodkc]

Loving the game and the commentary. Keep up the good work

[@maxpower8549]

picking an archer for the scar in the first room wasn't a spoiler, it was merely a suggestion. speaking of the scars: i "suggest" that you visit the scardude from time to time, he also has some unlocks which can be considered helpful

[@PooPooKachoo]

Maybe do a gold run threw the easy areas all the way back up to the current you end up with tons of gold to progress. But im diggin the short gold runs on the hard area as well.

[@gineva_]

I've almost finished the game, and after the 3rd boss it get definitly harder the 4th boss is harder than the 5th and every other I've done (just not the 6th and the final, not tried them for now)

[@shounen1810]

Get the Charon thing for extra stats

[@MrMcCoyD4]

The game has been throwing projectiles at you from offscreen for ages, great to see you throwing them back as the archer 😁

[@finalscore2983]

Loving this by the way. New subscriber exclusively because of RL2.

[@captainzork6109]

Rogue Legacy 2 is one of my favorite series on this channel at the moment :D

[@jackvalior]

For me, my biggest success with astromancer is locking world and going back to fairy chests I failed. Spamming super OP spells like white star and KAMEHAMEHA(aka gravity beam). it is about abusing your talent as much as possible to put distance between yourself and the enemy, while trapping them in a constant DOT area that can hit through wall. Also, the class abuse relics that proc status effects. All in all, my fav class, though with your playstyle, I can see why it is not always the most fun for everyone. I hope you get to try Ronin soon. I think you will find it very fun.

[@kevincolwell3066]

great video as always. In terms of the black and white run i actually really liked it just was strange the didnt make the interface b/w aswell.

[@gkagara]

This not how you play the game tho, if you want set just farm no rushing to battle the bosses you may get lucky with relic improving your odds. It took like 4-5 hits to kill that's kinda underpowered, should need like 2-3 hits at most to kill the mob.

[@Retromation]

There isn't a right way to play, passive farming easy zones isn't fun to me. Pushing myself and overcoming a challenge while it is still a challenge is far more rewarding to me.

[@RainX0573]

I would be sad to see this and ravita go very much sooooooo

[@Bloody0range]

Yeah, you know, whatever. One every ... 20 ... who cares. :)

[@JosiahBradley]

I played this for hours last night. It's much harder than you make it look lol.
