Rogue's Tale - My Most Favorite Hardcore Roguelike

[@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)

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@bretter247]

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.

[@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

[@nonkh89]

I could watch an hour of this game every sunday

[@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.

[@aguinaldoferrer6491]

Damn that's high praise coming from the splatcat himself

[@Hybban]

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

[@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)

[@PaulSeoulOLD]

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

[@JesseBrindiz666]

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

[@inrptn]

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

[@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

[@squeekfootbiter3803]

The bear traps make sense now.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@scottshaffer8686]

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

[@brandonporter501]

You should try Tales of maj’Eal!

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

Awesome game. Free to download.

[@sixofnine9407]

the red shirt reference, brought back some nice memories.

[@DalorianShep]

That Cave Bear fight needed a face Cam moment

[@Darthmessiah66]

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

[@Parcello123]

The ending with the bear got me good 😂😂

[@spatialdistortion223]

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

[@goifur]

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

[@Notsoslimjimmy]

The motion city reference proved you are indeed a real one

[@nccgrad]

Whew. That reaction was PRICELESS.

[@Jordy2277]

I love it when you play this.

[@Grim_Spudly]

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

[@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! 😃

[@allbran3095]

would love to see a full playthrough of this from Splattercat

[@ravengreen8739]

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

[@romansolomatin2313]

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

[@elbonnybar]

37:17 soooo there was BEARS inside the dungeon. take that spalt Yeh of little faith.

[@Muenni]

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

[@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.

[@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! :)

[@Iogsatot]

Summoned bear after completing achievement is gold moment.

[@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'.

[@bretter247]

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!

[@tiny_green_dragon_3497]

I would enjoy watching you play more of this

[@Ajax-wo3gt]

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

[@bryanmclovin5599]

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

[@FieAction]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@SwartFrancois]

This reminds me a little of Castle of the Winds.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!!

[@charsquatch600]

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

[@Murph_.]

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

[@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!

[@MultiBoomer77]

Splat always love your content keep up the good fight.

[@metenrog]

That bear was hilarious

[@Karikato]

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

[@Brotha_Tony]

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

[@dietaube6898]

Please continue this series.

[@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 :(

[@vividimagination2044]

gettin' some nostalgic mmohut vibes from these videos

[@Senior666]

"Oh he killed my dog, what a jerk." 😂

[@charsquatch600]

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

[@moomah5929]

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

[@MrNovaStreams]

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

[@krzysztofswierzy4226]

I really loved everything about this game.. except for those ridiculous trap mechanics. What were they thinking, what is the fun of pressing search button every damn step, so You don't fall into unescepable pit.... every single progress of mine was evetually ruined by this, despite picking auto-search skill.

[@Pixelboyable]

100%, this is what makes the game unfun for me, having to engage in tedium between every action.

[@kjstants7294]

u know bro

[@robertnomok9750]

1. You can bind search action to do it N amount of times per click 2. Auto seach perk is the must.

[@Nativeaboriginal]

When will the day come when we have a complete series? Especially the awesome looking ganes

[@Eliot_Ness]

I figure he probably does those on Twitch. I don't watch streamers a lot at all (I have like two I watch on KZbin who rarely stream ever and that's it) but I feel like that's where he keeps those to, and does first look's here exclusively.

[@Blefiz]

It's not worth to do series in KZbin anymore, lots of youtubers went to twitch or made alternate channels for series because KZbin ducked the recommendation system, lowered the amount paid per video and generally series has a lower view than one or two shots videos.

[@lucidnonsense942]

@@Eliot_Ness you don't have to watch twitch live, you can just watch vods of previous streams

[@Cornflakes1991]

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

[@cirkleobserver3217]

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

[@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.

[@grant9068]

Bought this game on your recommendation! Thanks bro

[@lov3masterns]

A question... Does loot stays on dungeon levels until you reset it or it disappears after going down/up a level or after some time? And is it a valid tactic to go back to the dungeon once you finished it and loot > sell everything before resetting or is that something you cannot do in general? I wonder... Because that's like a game changer in these types of games.

[@jessicas2165]

It stays.

[@happytraveler6933]

Looks cool. I'm gonna get it!

[@TheFrankHorringan]

HAHAHAHA please Splatty keep this going!

[@davidfletcher6703]

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

[@nanettesage1112]

You attacked the Bear first. What if you tried to walk away and found the Bear following but not attacking. You might have gotten an awesome companion and you didn't even know it.

[@thomaskopv2366]

The sounds in this game are amazing !

[@whizthesugoi]

Love watching you playing this

[@charleston_]

Can you use the numpad for movement? Using the mouse seems counterintuitive.

[@nimblebarrett1259]

Giving me Castle of the Winds vibes.

[@elvest9]

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

[@MrArcadius83]

Levelscaling is BS.

[@KLiNoTweet]

It made Oblivion really bad.

[@lanceuppercut6168]

Total BS. You find, craft or grind to be above the curve. Game be like: Oh you think you're the shit now? Guess what, enemies are matched to you because gameplay mechanic.

[@fiqri1999]

@@lanceuppercut6168 I'd say fair if it's matched, but it's not. Play the game "normally" and elementals will obliterate you in floor 2. You won't have enough money to buy resist and cures. This game punishes the player for levelling up. It's a bad game.

[@robertnomok9750]

Not really. Game only scales 2 times. at lvl 7 and lvl 14. It allows script to spawn higher lvl monsters and give them perks and abilities they didnt have before. So people cheesing difficulty spike by spending more time on baby levels is just their playstyle.

[@francesco3772]

@@robertnomok9750 exactly. Besides, in a pure roguelike such as this one, your strenght comes from items, not levels. Your goal should be to hoard equipment early on to get out of as many situations as possible later on.

[@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

[@kjstants7294]

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

[@Grussen69]

So I read through a few of the Players reviews on Steam for this game and I have to ask; Is this game still as brutally randomized against a new player as it was on the making of this video? I do like a challenge and I like Old School "Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup" and "Brogue" (but not the newer versions of both) but from what I gathered this game is "over-the-top"-brutal for new players. Still true?

[@johneman9553]

Thumbs up for the bear.

[@superlace]

Man that cave bear kill...

[@BIGESTblade]

Oh, betcha gonna know now why beartraps are down there.

[@ight_of_heart]

YO i've been looking forward to this.

[@verstrahlt1907]

why is there a gray background around the "-" at Charisma? Is this supposed to mean that you cannot go below 6 points?

[@crosslayer102389]

Well since you play this game a ton and clearly enjoy it, how about we get a KZbin series. 30-45 mins of uncut dungeon crawl every 2-3 days. I'm watch every single episode.

[@Lindelldesign]

More of this pleeeease ❤
