30:59 It seems that the mutants have one turn of invulnerability on mutation. When they have those particles around them, all your shots seem to miss. Best to do something else when that happens. Reload, reposition attack another targer etc. Edit: Yup, it's in the help menu. It says that they're in between dimension mid-summoning. So they can't attack or be attacked.

[@danielross001]

Since you liked the demo of this and want to look at more old school games, if you haven’t heard of Sword Of The Stars: The Pit, you should give it a look! Similar plastic bag inventory management, very similar play style, same dopamine spike when you stumble across rare/overpowered weapons. It’s siphoned 300+hrs off my lifespan like some kind of time vampire so far.

[@lawoftsunami]

Hey thanks for the recommendation. I've seen it occasionally but never figured out exactly what it was

[@chuckles819]

you cannot beat sword of the stars the pit without basically running directly to an exit, you do not know where it is, and getting lucky enough to be able to run to it. I could not recommend people avoid the pit harder despite having a thousand hours of game time under my belt.

[@Loalskii]

More like hoard of the stars. Played it for 21 hours and never managed to get more than dozen of basic recipes. Maybe I'm unlucky or doing something wrong, I see what the game trying to do, but I don't want to waste runs making tech characters just for chance of some recipes.

[@aone9050]

what is a plastic bag inventory management system?

[@Bastard_Man]

I thought I was the only person that played that game lmao

[@ebbiebean9385]

I love your hour long vods to drift off to sleep to. Not that the video is boring, but your voice so calming and easy to listen to. I typically queue up vods to act like white noise 😊

[@trevordrakenor2063]

Played this game and finished it, I gotten to the point where I can play it like we're doing it real time. Enemy can bleed to death, burn to death, you can right click on them to examine their status if they are still alive. Right click can open menu to what you want to do with doors, or just close door. Space bar to skip an action point, could be useful for preventing you instantly dying with room filled with assault rifle and jackhammer wielding gunner. because as soon as you use the last action point to open door, enemy facing you will immediately get their turn to shot the crap out of you. Running stance gives you 3 action point to work with per turn, but no interaction with door, storage, items on floor and bag but you can use item in your belt. you can open door, move into cover, switch to running stance and then mow down the enemy. Quasimorphosis is indication of how aware the demonic entity are on you, greater quasi means cultist and pmc can randomly get possessed and turn into skinned, hound, greater demon. It also strengthens demons. Demon take time to phase into reality, they will be temporarily invincible to harm. (Though apparently fire and concussion grenade still effects them) Demon do not like smokers, they hate getting bronchitis.

[@AileTheAlien]

A pack a day keeps the demons away! 😆

[@CandleWisp]

You can also right click the enemies to view their action points and inventory. Allows you to be more aware of their movement and save time looting. Plus, if they don't have ranged weapons, you can shoot without worrying about cover. Sprinting is particularly useful for risk free shooting. Three actions allow for 1. Ducking out a corner. 2. Shoot 3. Duck back in. It was a game changer for me lol. However, it consumes way more hunger. Walking consumes 2. Sprinting consumes 10. So I only save it for combat. Tried saving turns by sprinting everywhere but ran down my food pretty quickly :) Sneaking can save turns if you're crafting or looting multiple bodies since it doesn't consume actions while interacting with your inventory, bodies, doors or crafting tables. Vest reload time reduction only applies when you put ammo in your hotbar slots and reload by pressing the number key for the slot.

[@discordinmymind6565]

Don't forget to use the terminals, they point out objects and the map

[@Kevbo2040]

I absolutely love AA and his vods, but the fact that he kept long-distance spraying full-auto fire from a shotgun with a range of 3 made me want to scream.

[@CandleWisp]

Just played it. Pretty fun. Time really flew. Hadn't lost myself in a game for a while. Really helps to unwind.

[@DraconiusDragora]

Advice; Reload the guns when you are going to throw away ammo. That way you you are always fully loaded. Even if there is "a lot" of ammo around, and in most runs you will never be starved of ammo, it still is better to not need the ammo than need it but not have any.

[@mathewgalvan6899]

[@thesrow1056]

I always forget how insanely high Americans metabolisms are. Fifty cups of noodles to walk a lap of an office building 😂😆😅

[@thesrow1056]

I'd love to see you do a few challenges in this game

[@philm.8622]

always love seeing someone find a surprising amount of enjoyment in a game. will have to check this out for myself

[@Baleur]

For some reason, the aesthetic in this game reminds me SO MUCH of some spoopy jungle Jurassic Park dinosaur game i played on my, was it Super Nintendo or was it Sega? Dude i LOVED those old top-down "you're just a guy alone in the jungle with dinos" Jurassic Park games. They were as atmospheric as this game.

[@johnmoss4624]

Enemy: Mutates Me: "Really? Right in front of my laser rifle?"

[@chainsawplayin]

You're telling me someone turned System Shock into a Roguelike?

[@jplayah5264]

It is insane how fast you are finding some of the elevators in this demo compared to the state of the game now.

[@ConfusedKev]

To be fair, I was on a level where the next elevator was in the room directly south of the elevator I just used. This was about 2 days ago.

[@jonathans.972]

Tactical Evacuation = Finding a restroom at a fair/amusement park/museum.

[@CommanderMityai]

I checked out the demo game after your review, i must say, it was rather good, really enjoyed it even after i softlocked myself a bit due to lack of tech chips i found. The last mission was quite hard having only pump shotgun unlocked. The rising tension among with the q-morph lvl, great soundtrack, feeling like the doomguy, who, depending on the run, either getting it tactical way or had enough of entity BS. Can't wait for the EA release!

[@breathinginpizza]

I loved this game. Also i love your VODs too

[@Baleur]

20:50 OH the bottom 3 slots ARE "secondary slots"; they are not taking up inventory space.

[@CandleWisp]

5:03 I think you get the second slot by leveling the Training skill or whatever the thing that gets xp with every shot is.

[@ianpopp87]

the character animation in this is kinda rad. Just a couple frames but kinda exaggerated in a neat way. Looks great. Fun idea for an extraction game

[@nerfmodderguy217]

I got my pet frog Beep because of you and I have no regrets. I love my lil Beep :3

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

Extraction game expanding on the FPS from Tarkov to Hunt Shodown is already unbelievable, having other genres explored is perfection.

[@chloewebb5526]

It's like Zero Seivert, Zomboid, and CDDA all blended into a scifi package. I'm totally down for this.

[@AileTheAlien]

😼At 35:00 the door opened because a corpse was blocking it - you can even see the animation!

[@AaronDoomes]

Don’t know if you’ve played it, but Jupiter Hell is kinda similar!

[@IronToast]

It reminds me of old old Xcom

[@friedmandesigns]

Bless mid-1990's X-COM!

[@songshungama5288]

the second last level in the demo is a nightmare. there is a guy with gatling gun he one shots you even with max armor. but somehow i completed that mission after countless tries

[@MikeStoneJapan]

serious SOTS: The Pit vibes

[@calvincoyne4261]

Love you AA!

[@LimonDaemon]

I love this.

[@sdgamer1860]

made it to the part where you have to stop the ritual but, F$%*ED it up completely so I can't tell if you can go on "FREE RAIDS" or not

[@CashewBestofNuts]

You had an entire other floor to search

[@HESDONEIT]

Laser rifle is like the light manipulation mutation from Caves of Qud

[@_whatheduck]

What a amazing game, giving it a try myself

[@AileTheAlien]

😼Yeah, this game's really fun. The only real issue right now is resource balance. I'm swimming in ammo and food, so the best strategy is to always use full auto unless it's a gun with a high accuracy penalty, like the assault rifle. Then you basically never need to heal.

[@_whatheduck]

@@AileTheAlien I don't even know what the best strategy is anymore since I reached the third mission. Been using a minigun with inventory loaded with ammo but the enemies there are so strong they killed me anyway

[@_whatheduck]

@@AileTheAlien Thinking maybe I need to focus on upgrading my character all the way to have a chance

[@Theguy-kd6ro]

Ah yes, the thing all shooter players fear The click* of doom

[@garrettwilson4754]

I want to see you try to beat Barotrauma, possibly with friends

[@scrubscruby4112]

The pain i feel when you unload your guns on the enemies that are imortal. Im talking bout the mutating enemies btw.

bro, you cant multitask to save your characters life haha

[@aceofspades3112]

This has to come back there have been tons of changes

[@MikeStoneJapan]

Want to play this so bad. Best way to play games like this on mac??

[@jaredniegas4255]

Hope you play CDDA and SS13 someday soon! They're really fun and challenging in their own ways. Anyways, can't wait to play this game for myself. It looks like good fun.

[@ianpopp87]

YES!

ever played Sword of the Stars: The Pit?

I have been playing a lot of this game, so seeing some of your mistakes is so frustrating, but if you play more, hopefully you learn from your mistakes

[@lurchgurk7824]

46:22 how could you not see the armor 😭

[@darkvanguard925]

Am i old or does this absolutely look like one those nokia phone symbian games where 3d meets pixel art?

[@somekindaracoon5647]

Why do you have unlimited gun and ammo?

[@Livingeidolon]

Oh... This reminds me of a sci-fi pc game from around the time that ftl was popular, I think? Early 2010s, had to have been Edit: it kinda had 'mystery dungeon' vibes

Hello, friend, if you like these games, then try "Space Rangers 2 Dominators".This is an old game from a Russian studio that has not existed for a long time.

[@juniormint5065]

I like AA, but sometimes I feel like you make some pretty bad games look a lot more fun then they actually are.

[@charliewhammy]

That's a compliment lol. He is a great entertainer

[@dickrichards8983]

His monologues add 15 to a games critic score.

[@juniormint5065]

@@charliewhammy Oh no I not trying to dis AA. Hes great and hopefully is getting paid for his advertisement of these games. I rarely buy games after seeing someone play them because even when funny people do it, it can often look lack-luster beyond the entertainment of watching that person do it, but AA makes even bad games look great. Hes pretty cool. On the other hand I have looked up some of the games hes done recently and thought "that a load of meh" when it comes to the level of entertainment i feel i could gain from said game.

[@friedmandesigns]

@@juniormint5065 Nearly 1.3 million folks subscribed on his main channel ... You best believe Rob is "getting paid" for sharing fun and great energy via playing games. 😆 And it's well-deserved! Social blade or similar sites will give you a rough idea of $$ if you're curious.
