Slay the Spire-inspired Deckbuilder - A Long Way Down (Northernlion Tries)

[@Northernlion]

my man actually spelled a word wrong in the thumbnail, it's a new era also I hear y'all -- TOO MANY DECKBUILDERS. I love em but I will try to space it out a little and explore broader horizons. In 2020 we stan a king who tries other genres.

[@pudzian2842]

my man actually commented his own video, it's a new era

[@jakelore2820]

Tbh I actually like the deck builders

[@taylor3950]

I guess you fixed it already. I thought I'd forgotten how to spell Rogue. Deckbuilders aren't my thing but they're good dishes listening so keep doing you

[@QWlN]

NL please ignore that Babaduv guy and his baseless criticism. I don’t really see many people complaining about the number of deck builders.....it’s not like you’ve covered THAT many, and only so many of them come out each year, so it’s not like you could even try a new deck builder twice a week without just running out of them

[@clo__ol]

Don’t be overcritical eggman. We’re enjoying the new content no matter what form it comes in... Especially typos.

[@Ascendingashes]

Where's the enemy health? It's behind the egg cam, isn't it?

[@DysnomiaATX]

Just goes to show that NL is his own enemy when it comes to deck builders

[@cephalopod113]

I'm sure he has metrics to show that the egg cam brought in more viewers, but I really don't understand why people want it for games like this. When streaming? Sure, I guess, but offline single player? Without live audience interaction, what's the point? Personally I don't need face cam at all, but I know a lot of people like it.

[@curtisehoffman]

Like he won't even say "black" when it comes up in dialogue. What even is that?

[@eriakuswiftwindz7041]

He might just be wary of stupid KZbin demonitze bots. They hit lots of dumb words. Roanoke got demonitzed in a Last of Us video for saying the word clicker. It's getting out of hand.

[@cephalopod113]

@@eriakuswiftwindz7041 I honestly hate KZbin for that very reason, but I also hate the only other option being 4-hour long unedited/unfocused videos on Twitch. Due to my time zone I can't watch them live. It's kind of a conundrum.

[@jcbro86]

This music just doesn’t seem to match this game’s style. It’s got this Wild West / electric guitar mashup that doesn’t fit the main character or the story.

[@jeffphunk7705]

I had my eye on this for a while, Now that it is out and seeing even just 10minutes of footage, all interest is lost.

[@janmirasch3373]

Yeah it doesnt look thaaat good and the gameplay seems to be boring aswell

[@jeffphunk7705]

@@janmirasch3373 Yuh like mostly I'd be all for a game like this, but I dunno something about this one just seems off. Sure you could blame early access to a degree, but fuck StS was early access and was way more engaging then what this seems to be.

[@MrMkG2]

HAHA HE TYPED THE WORD WRONG

[@sjurgaustad5531]

Okay. So it's a Guild of Dungeoneering-take dragged backwards through Supergiant Games' audiovisual style. I can dig that.

[@Jokestur]

"During" sounds like (whether it literally means or not) to DO each turn, like DURING the next three turns you will receive 17% armor sounds like each turn you will receive it - while "For" sounds like the span of, so for the span of three turns you will receive ONE increase of 17% armor for those three turns

[@KALAIII1]

the game looks overstylized to me. Interesting flip on a dungeon crawling indeed, but overall looks throwing me off

[@cake6982]

Yea, it's too busy.

[@Howaboua]

Looks more like a mobile game ;(

tbh i'd like to see you play more of this, nl, this game looks pretty cool & i fuck with deckbuilders pretty heavy

This music gives me a weird borderlands X persona vibe, I like it but its definently a unique sound

[@davidballantyne4492]

says it's inspired by StS but instead of a simple elegant and almost storyless game they have jammed two games together and have a constantly chattering, and bad, story taking the forefront. They really missed the things that made StS good.

[@MrStatistx]

Oh noooo! Lore in a game! The horror!!! :p I wonder if we ever get an age of NL hating on graphics, cause they are just distraction and decoration of the mechanics

[@MrStatistx]

@@sradac while I approve of the idea, it would probably be a very short series. He might have a little too low of an attention span for stuff like that. If it's not puzzles, trivia or programming, he doesn't really seem to want to learn

[@xXCajunMeatballXx]

While he does hate lore, I think for this game in particular, he wanted to skip. The story seemed about slaves and blacks vs whites, as well as the MC being called African, so I think that's more why he skipped here.

So you may think that a puzzle game, with roguelike and card building elements would be the perfect game for NL? Wrong he sucks at all those things, plus he is impatient he will skip lore explanations, this is a recipe for disaster, which means it is on brand with the scum egg.

@@Kai-K That may be, but if so then some reason StS brings out the worst in commenters. Even his Into the Breach videos where it was a lot more obvious what the "optimal" play was didnt get anywhere near the level of vitriol the StS vids got.

Honestly these videos are just getting tiring. The thumbnails and titles are literal word salads that all look the same "roguelite action toe-sucking arcade". Content quality has really become very poor. Just unsubscribed after having followed the channel for a decade. The good era has passed.

the last video with this kind of title was 4 days ago, in which the egg uploaded 2 other nl tries of very different games with very different titles. not acounting all the other series he's been uploading. but yeah, no, the channel was better when all we got was isaac chapter number 282893281 and the nlss once in a while.
