[@XxDstarsxX]

"why is there bear traps down here? who tries to trap bears in a dungeon?" almost dies to bear xD

[@mamamia1159]

Then he almost got eaten by a bear

[@Timlagor]

After actively provoking fates by putting on a red shirt. @@mamamia1159

[@Mrblackfox966]

Did any one else laugh wen he summoned the bear after complaining about all the bear traps earlier in the video

[@frostfar]

"There is not bears in dungeon dudes!" (or something like that) Little did he know he would find out soon enough about that... (laughed a lot, best moment! hahaha)

[@Saxeh]

"...every time you walk across these bridges there's a chance they'll break or snails will just sit on the other sides of bridges and stuff..." - without any prior knowledge of this video, this is a phrase which I highly doubt that any organism in this universe, in all its infinite wonder and glory, would come to utter ever again. You rock, Splat.

[@GipGap]

I paused this video, came back to it after 4 hours, read this comment as an ad played, and THE first sentence he said was this. This is such a huge coincidence that I had to comment something.

[@maxxcat244]

New sleeper phrase just dropped

[@onphyre]

Hi! This is Phyre. I had some people post comments probably shortly after this video dropped. I was going through a lot IRL, so I didn't see their comments saying "Splat" mentioned me in your video until recently. Thanks for the mention! I obviously love Rogue's Tale too, definitely one of my favorite games all time. It's gotten me through hell and back, in both the game, and IRL.

[@Cuthawolf]

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Your commentary was just amazing this episode Splatty, mad enjoyment.

[@DEP1323]

But the SILENCE when the bear spawned in was hilarious.

[@morpheas768]

Really like these videos where you genuinely seem to enjoy the game. The game itself is not my cup of tea at all, but watching you play it and narrate is just awesome!

[@luhental]

Those 30 seconds of silence when the cave bear appeared ROFLAO* still cracks me up~ just priceless

[@ridiculouslycoolguy]

You mean the less than 10 seconds?

[@rudeboyjohn3483]

"...when you complete that achievement, it summons a cave bear" Well, there you go. That's why there are so many bear traps down there.

[@Ojja78]

FYI: if you run into a really short first dungeon (or any dungeon), there's almost always a secret door around that unlocks the rest of the dungeon. There are no procedurally generated one level dungeons, at least none that I've run into yet.

[@bretmcdonnell247]

Crikey, that cave bear had me rolling, and your response was hilarious Splatty

[@nickcrusaire]

ha, for the first 4 minutes of the video there is Space Empire V music playing! never thought i'd hear music from that game ever again. man, i'm gonna be on a nostalgia trip all day now.

[@Blefiz]

Lol, didn't notice that before you mentioned, shame I can't make my seV to work, would play a little bit just for the nostalgia with the balance mod.

[@aguinaldoferrer6491]

Damn that's high praise coming from the splatcat himself

[@nonkh89]

I could watch an hour of this game every sunday

[@PaulSeoulOLD]

I actually bought this game after watching you cover this game last time! But man do I suck

[@Hybban]

I really like that you periodically come back to it. It is a really good game.

[@spatialdistortion223]

That encounter with the bear was an excellent way to top off the video. lol

[@Dragondave17real]

8:40 there will be a secret door somewhere leading to the rest of the dungeon (its only "cleared" because you explored everything before finding it)

[@AeryelleCat]

That looks fun as heck! And moments like the bear at the end are what I usually crave in these chance-based games so that was awesome!!

[@JesseBrindiz666]

I bought this game few years back thanks to you Splatty worth it

[@nutbastard]

Splat rarely swears, so when he dropped that "Oh, fuck" it had a lot of weight to it. EDIT: Booo to you sir for editing it out! Boo I say! For those who missed it, at 36:40 when the cave bear shows up there was a very somber "Oh fuck".

[@Splattercatgaming]

I KNEW I FORGOT AN EDIT

[@daebi37]

Obviously you have not watched his twitch channel :)

[@nutbastard]

@@daebi37 Oh I have, he just tends to keep the youtubes family friendly. His twitch is hilarious and a lot more unleashed.

[@nutbastard]

@@Splattercatgaming You better leave it in. It's gold homie.

[@djw_tekken8490]

@@Splattercatgaming bro if u call this hardcore😴🤣🤣🤣🤣 then try caves roguelike its a phone game and much much more hardcore than all roguelikes together but the game is dope u have abilities and its like this game (turnbased) not like real turnbased but yea like this game

[@scottshaffer8686]

Splat, please play more of this. It is a great looking game.

[@Parcello123]

The ending with the bear got me good 😂😂

[@tiny_green_dragon_3497]

I would enjoy watching you play more of this

[@bryanmclovin5599]

been a while from binging games splat, am happy to binge my bday with ur vids

[@MrBizteck]

'This is a game that requires you to intrinsically understand the rules ' ..... Huh??? Quickly shrinks the screen to make sure it is actually Splatt talking......🤣🤣

[@erografos5326]

Splatty has leveled up. he does tutorials, he does trial runs before recording, i am telling you crazy things are happening.

[@Rapturnal]

He's also shown this game off two times before.

[@robertnomok9750]

I suspect that Splat's goofy persona is just that, a persona. For example, rogue tale looks like pure rng fest right untill you learn mechanics of the game and little tricks. At that poin t luck influence becomes unimportan past first 7 lvls in the run. And splat playing and liking game that requires so much learning? Nah

[@DalorianShep]

That Cave Bear fight needed a face Cam moment

[@sixofnine9407]

the red shirt reference, brought back some nice memories.

[@inrptn]

Rogue's Tale - my most favorite water pit simulator.

[@brandonporter501]

You should try Tales of maj’Eal!

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

Awesome game. Free to download.

[@goifur]

Lmao, the bear part, the silence after the bear was summoned 😂🤣

[@morondes]

Splat you are not the laziest Rogue's Tale player, seeing you move with the mouse is giving me second-hand exhaustion.

[@Rufiowascool]

I think he does it so it's easier for the viewer to see which way he moved as you watch the pointer move there first. But yeah, tiring!

[@hellasketch6523]

I wish you did more episodic let’s plays!

[@allbran3095]

would love to see a full playthrough of this from Splattercat

[@Jordy2277]

I love it when you play this.

[@lanceuppercut6168]

Yooo 40 mins?! Hell yeah!! I'm not even much of a roguelikes afficionado but if there's a longer let's play style vid to be had I'm all for it! 😃

[@nccgrad]

Whew. That reaction was PRICELESS.

[@MultiBoomer77]

Splat always love your content keep up the good fight.

[@romansolomatin2313]

Thanks. I can only wish (back in time) that first rogue games looked like this. Will add this game to my wishlist.

[@TheWizdry]

Dude. You make all these inde games look amazing! Getting this one. "Nothing says friend like a spike in the butt." 😂 Your having so much fun!

[@squeekfootbiter3803]

The bear traps make sense now.

[@Darthmessiah66]

36:53 well now you know why there are bear traps in the dungeonXD

[@whizthesugoi]

Love watching you playing this

[@DamsdelDrennon]

The humour of this game is excellent, on top of that solid roguelike system it's a real pleasure to see it in action, specially if you're playing it Splatt'.

[@ravengreen8739]

That's was actually awesome too watch I thought for sure the curse of the red shirt was going too end this run.

[@Karikato]

Thank you for showing. Just watching I really love it, I'll quickly buy it :)

[@psiqueatog666]

Those lvl1 dungeons can be continued. There is always a cut path that you explore and discover a hidden door. Easy peasy! 😉

[@francesco3772]

And, if you don't like what's on the other side, the dungeon still counts as completed, so you can reset it anytime.

[@fredq6118]

Have you ever played Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup? Probably one of the longest-lasting indie games out there, amazingly deep and fun to play

[@kjstants7294]

Such a great game so happy this turned up on my suggestions. The best roguelike

[@XaFFaX]

25:38 Armour gets lighter when in backpack. Need tor remember this.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@no or maybe yes I feel like your cuirass is badly made if it’s digging into your gut

[@happytraveler6933]

Looks cool. I'm gonna get it!

[@Grim_Spudly]

Bear shows up " You know the word sorry gets tossed around allot these days"

[@Iogsatot]

Summoned bear after completing achievement is gold moment.

[@bretmcdonnell247]

Okay, trying to like this video again, I do not usually love Rogue like games, but this one is incredible and I bought it after watching. Splat's favorite in a category is high praise indeed!

[@grant9068]

Bought this game on your recommendation! Thanks bro

[@Notsoslimjimmy]

The motion city reference proved you are indeed a real one

[@carlsbl]

This video has absolutely ruined my wife's weekend! I. Love. This. Game. I have only been doing the roguelike thing for about a month and have play tested CDDA, Qud, a little bit of ToME (love that one too), COGMIND, all awesome games but this one really sucked me in and keeps pulling me in deeper. It's very immersive, the sounds are not horribly annoying to the rest of the house. Great fun, thanks for the video! I haven't finished the video yet because I am to busy playing, but eventually I am sure I will! :)

[@Lindelldesign]

More of this pleeeease ❤

[@FieAction]

"Nothing says Friends like..." Sung to perfection.

[@ight_of_heart]

YO i've been looking forward to this.

[@Ajax-wo3gt]

Summons a cave bear. "Oh fuck..." Golden!

[@dietaube6898]

Please continue this series.

[@Murph_.]

I still play Rogue sometimes... I think I'll love this game even more.

[@MrEricoze]

Splat: Who in the world hunts bears in the dungeon?! Bears do not live in dungeons! Also Splat: There is a bear in the dungeon. Guess I'm gonna die.

[@elvest9]

Now I want to see you do a full playthrough and win this game.

[@sunrise_reverie]

Idk why but I really, really like Rogue's Tale videos. And they're so rare! I've seen them all ages ago :(

[@metenrog]

That bear was hilarious

[@BrianAnderson150]

The whole character level influencing abilities the monsters have access to is very reminiscent of Angband. However, in Angband the depth level of the dungeon was what scaled up the monsters' abilities, not character level.

[@kilgonn6706]

Really enjoyed this video and game.

[@wingman0736]

Reminds me of those Mac Shareware games back in the 90's. Definitely Got some Nostalgia from this one. Not gonna lie - Ill probably buy it

[@TonyPakRat]

I LOVE the Office reference in the name 😂😂😂 perfect 👍🏾

[@ColScoob]

Keep up the good work :)

[@szarekhthesilentking9671]

Would love to see this on stream

[@classified5790]

Have you ever tried Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup? It's my favorite rogue like. This looked fun too.

[@bytemixsound]

Same here. It's still on my bucket list to one day finish. Watching Quill's videos definitely upped my game, though. I do feel like several years ago, the game was a lot harder before they started adding all the various branches, when the only two were pretty much Lair and Orc Mines and the Inner Sanctum. Anyway, farthest I've gotten so far is 2 runes (snake pit and spider pit, then got killed mid-way through Vault), haven't even made it to Zot yet. :P I primarily play DsAs (though I guess now it's DsBr now) of Hep. Though sometime, maybe I'll try a run as a follower of Ash.

[@vividimagination2044]

gettin' some nostalgic mmohut vibes from these videos

[@SwartFrancois]

This reminds me a little of Castle of the Winds.

[@charsquatch600]

Stamina is also your spell damage. Charisma is duration of non damage spells

[@Senior666]

"Oh he killed my dog, what a jerk." 😂

[@qaz120120]

Please do more of this game

[@nickplatypus1730]

more of this please

[@TheFrankHorringan]

HAHAHAHA please Splatty keep this going!

[@MrNovaStreams]

I want to see the conclusion of this run, lol.

[@davidfletcher6703]

The thumbnail remains me of the High Walls of Lothric from Dark Souls 3

[@charsquatch600]

It's been a few decades since I've seen a true rogue like

[@cirkleobserver3217]

Reminds me a lot of a more fantasy-oriented cataclysm dda, with a *slightly* more user-friendly UI.

[@Cornflakes1991]

"who puts bear traps into a dungeon!?" -> proceeds to summon a bear in the dungeon

[@edwardwilliams91]

Motion City Soundtrack!

[@tatojack]

Really hope he streams this today

[@dirt0133]

Looks Perfect for me; i Love Difficult games that challenge the player. Instant buy. Thx. ;)

[@moomah5929]

The game gives me a Castle of the Winds (Windows 3.1 game) vibe.

[@Muenni]

Every game design decision I like - this game does the opposite. But it's still fun to watch splat enjoying it.

[@johneman9553]

Thumbs up for the bear.

[@superlace]

Man that cave bear kill...

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

This reminds me of a strange game I played once that had some kind of obsession with bananas.

[@margaretcattertv]

I can't believe you ate raw meat wearing a red shirt and didn't think something bad was gonna happen. You made a risky decision while wearing a red shirt sir.

[@grantilis3811]

This reminds me of the dungeon from Lufia 2 that is constantly re-arranging itself and you start at lvl 1 every time you enter.

[@sayaksen7545]

ancient cave

[@MICKEYrenraw]

i was actually kinda put off (and i like cdda) but by the end of the video, and especially that bear, sir you have sold me :D

[@thomaskopv2366]

The sounds in this game are amazing !

[@silvereye45]

You might not see this but there is an oooold game I used to play on Mac. It was called Realmz by Fantasoft. You can find it for free and I just tried it and it works on my windows machine. I think you would like it if you try it out. You will see a lot of similarities. Cheers!

[@nimblebarrett1259]

Giving me Castle of the Winds vibes.

[@DIRTY-MERLIN]

i wish we couldve seen the rest of the run :]]
