Successor - Dark Fantasy Kingslaying Strategy RPG

[@goifur]

It's a smart necromancer, nobody thinks about using unholy attacks on undead, everyone always goes for holy attacks, that's like a 200 iq game play

[@leandroTRA]

also makes them weak to his attacks, so no insubordination will happen

[@MichelMichelMann]

Love it when I can hear Splatti excited about a game! :D

[@justinpeterson7246]

My bro really dropped a power stone reference. Dude you can't just be springing all that nostalgia on me out of nowhere like that

[@Wlerin7]

31:17 "[This game requires thinking], this is not a game where you can just sit there and ignore what the enemy is doing." -- He says, as he surrenders the high ground.

[@zarddin]

I agree with everything you said. These few little things if added they will increase the immersion and make the game feel even more fun. I love that there are many heroes with different classes and many skills to choose from to specialise.

[@LabTech41]

Even if I didn't notice that the game has an Alpha tag on the menu screen, the fact that the character is sitting sideways on the chair that's baked into the background and is clipping through his leg indicates this game is RAW.

[@zappedguy1327]

I think Anakin should have listened to Splatts high ground lesson.

[@richarddrapeau7599]

You wouldn't want that cut scene every time the priest does that move.... Make it were if it's the last, strongest, maybe the first. Maybe just randomly ...

[@mix1ro]

this game looks pretty fun. it would be awesome to make your own character. theory craft and all that junk

[@zackymas2000]

The abilities don't seem to be on a cooldown, they just gray out when you don't have enough energy to cast them, and color in as you recover energy

[@zombiemaster123456]

Splat: I like feeling OP Also Splat: That feels Op you might want to nerf that Me: lol

[@MrAgmoore]

I like the animations. It reminded me of old school, claymation movies like "Jason and the Argonauts".

[@TomGeorgin]

If this is finally the Strategy RPG with realtime paused gamepaly that I was looking for all this time while waiting for Dragon Age, I am definitely buying it!

[@UristMcFarmer]

Ramen with spam? Dude, I'm trying to eat breakfast here! That's nasty.

[@pauljones796]

I'm Welsh and I even give up trying to learn my own language

[@cap_1stuperman536]

That chicken is OP. That's too much power for one man...

[@thewalkingjuju]

You like eggs, right? Cook your eggs in the packet sauce, then pour the egg sauce over your rinsed noodles. Less water, more concentrated sauce, omnom.

[@JonathanRenfrogamer]

Thats how my wife makes the noodles. Shes Vietnamese. She cooks the eggs, spam and sausage balls and shrimp all in the noodles water with the sauce. She makes her own sauce flavor its so good. She upgraded noodles 100% from what I ever had before.

[@SirLuciferMachada]

niiiice every time getting the vid earlier, started getting the notification 8 hours after publish now 8 minutes after publish ( it took me a while to write the comment). Love youre videos nice rundown of the game.

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

This one looks great and right up my alley, definitely going on the list. Some of your suggestions were great as always but some had me wondering WTF...LOL Thanks Splat for bringing me another game I'll likely end up buying when it drops...

[@Akhi_Furqan]

Well that was fun! Can't wait for the full release

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I like that throwing a chicken at them stuns, because I know chicken always knocks me into submission. :D

[@binnieb173]

amazing game!!! this has a LOT of potential. It's like a semi auto turn based strategy .

[@ZimCrusher]

I am SOOOO waiting for this to be a VR edition.

[@Cardboardbocs]

Powerstone? Now that is a name I've not heard of in a long long time. A long time.

[@Gigusx]

Come on Splat. Flat damage increase on a high attack-speed character (in this case archer speed buff + priest's relic) is a common play to make even a weak character a lot stronger and useful. The game looks really cool! Going onto my wishlist right away. I'll wait until they improve some of the UI and add depth before buying though.

[@GameTimeWhy]

Typical splat. He is anti-min/max on KZbin but makes some god plays on twitch

[@justinkarel6731]

I can't believe you didn't make a Star Wars high ground reference....

[@101SnowAU]

Every time I come to your god damn channel I end up buying another game... Yesterday it was Tunguska. Now Successor...

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I really enjoyed Wartile, so I am very interested in checking this one out. I think I will play Wartile again while I wait for this one.

[@mudcrab3420]

Oooo... The High Ground!!! Take that Anakin!

[@rickwood7483]

Like the addition of the little info tile my mans \,,,_

[@bernard832]

Now that Splat has featured it, playtest access is no longer instant.

[@Mrjacharles]

Ohhhh lovin' the Heroes of Might and Magic vibes ^.^

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for showcasing! ^^

[@randyftobias]

Hmm, BattleChess sure has come a long way over the past couple of decades. Seriously though, I very much like this approach to making a video game of a board/table-top game. This also looks a lot prettier than most other table-top to video game adaptations I've seen.

[@General_Hawk]

This looks fantastic.

[@EzekielHateable]

Great video as always.

[@serwna4ok]

thank you for amazing game!! Wartales was one of them, exelent tutorial 🤝

[@Browncenters]

nonchalantly throws a chicken

[@Acidicstudios]

lmao, Lord Craig the Chicken thrower.

[@dyslxeic]

I really liked Wartile, this looks cool too! Might have to reload Wartile.

[@ScowlieMeerkat]

50 minutes ?!? *monocle pops off*

[@xXboingXx]

Looks like a fun game!

[@IraStephens]

Developer: Please.consider larger font size for.Steam Deck, or UI/font scaling. Xbox ABXY style controls would also be great.

[@Susrack]

"remember, they are skeletons so they've got a big BONEUS against us" yes? no? anybody??

[@chrisbowen914]

Cannot fault a bit of Welsh now and then. Da Iawn boyo! :)

[@erografos5326]

I loved wartile, it was a digital board game

[@Briteshadowwolf1]

so...all I can say is...ramen with SPAM?! nonono...you eat ramen with crushed pringles. That's the real stuff.

[@Emanemoston]

Thanks for the video.

[@annagreta4933]

Looks very good and promising ✌

[@mauricionavarro8224]

The game looks nice!!!

[@IonoTheFanatics]

22:55 that's not cooldown, that's the UI showing you that you do not have enough energy to cast the skill and it shows exactly how much you are short by relative to the cost of the skill... And you mistaken the visual representation of the UI which showed the effect your energy regeneration as cooldown.

[@SenatorAri]

Thats a lotta hexes!

[@RevWolf1776]

This kinda makes me think of a video game version of heroscape.

[@Rheinguard]

Kick the drains lol!

[@JayB9127]

'enjoy your en-zeus-ning' 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😊😊

[@darrenpellichino2923]

is the game a kinda mixture of frantic and strategic? it looked like you figured out some very good strategy on the fly =)

[@EGRJ]

"I like a little bit of ramen, little bit of Spam in it." Are you Hawaiian?

[@cloakedwanderer2392]

He is

[@DanyF02]

You really love recommending the devs to add tons of animations that would slow down the action.

[@ozilir]

i really hope they don't do those action cinematic effects. Sadly a lot of these games add those to the general cinematics or new encounters so if you turn them off you start missing actual cool/important scenes. still remember in one of the xcoms where i turned it off, and during the enemy turn all i heard was a roar, a crash and had no clue why 2 men suddenly died.

[@Gigusx]

That (x-com situation) sounds like a huge oversight by the devs :D I don't know if I'd say "a lot of games" though. I can't tell you exact titles but I can remember playing games where you could toggle cinematics and action cinematics separately, while encountering the opposite doesn't really come to mind. And I would notice, because I love cinematics but don't like being spammed with the same combat animations over and over if they take too long.

[@Hyper_Fox06]

I wonder if the bone splinter mace is an alignment restricted item?

[@rungus24]

I just went back and watched a bit of your video about Wartile, and you sound so young! It's only been five years, but maybe you've been hitting the cigars, or it's just the cost of talking for a living.

[@jobammad1950]

There is a huge issue with these PC-First games being later released on consoles. I wanted to check out Wartile for so long and then had massive buyer's remorse after realizing I could not increase the text size. You can't see most of the important UI or increase the size of the text on screen. Not really an issue if you play on PC but a serious detriment if playing on consoles. Unfortunately Successor appears to suffer from the same and I won't be purchasing it for console when it inevitably comes out 2 years later without any options for increasing font size. If the dev's are seeking further profit from the consoles market then they need to be aware those users often have different needs.

[@Almohebful]

Hey Splat, I was just wondering about your workflow, And how u keep track of all these games? I want some insight to help me manage myself better. Thanks.

[@Stone7C1]

female version of the title "lord" would be "lady", no? strange that they put the same title on both characters. maybe an error due to the devs not being native english speakers? it would be "lord craig" and "lady gwenn".

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

That or the devs have been infected with the "Woke" mind virus because those who're infected Lady is not a title equal to that of Lord, which is just all kinds of dumb... Let's hope it was just a translation issue...

[@Gigusx]

Was surprised by this too. But did a quick google search and apparently it can be a thing (and has happened). Don't know if it's a recent change or happened in the medieval times as well, though.

[@Ylyrra]

Lord can be gender-neutral, although it's uncommon and was usually due to it being a specific role rather than just a mark of nobility. I believe the usual example is the British Prime Minister is usually also First Lord of the Treasury, whether they're male or female. (That said, they wouldn't be addressed as Lord Gwenn, but that's probably more to do with the primacy of the Commons over the Lords in British Parliament.) There's other similar examples that might carry the Lord form of address, I'm not an expert!

[@fruansigt7919]

Let's gooo

[@johnmiller8975]

Wartile is on steam sale for $5.00 right now

[@LegatusLigeratus]

SIIIGMAAARRRRR!!

[@Kyrkby]

Same devs behind Wartile. Uses the same combat system.

[@user-rp8bi1ys2j]

Game reminds me of heroscape tabletop, adorable, anyone know if more games like these? exist

[@Damaramy]

Don't they know that female lord has its own name - lady? Whell.... like... Lady Gaga...or Lady in red...

[@mbielcik]

🖤

[@Puschit1]

While it looks good, it also looks very familiar ... maybe because everything is made with Unity these days? It's less the art style and more how the menus, cards etc look

[@jingthethief]

looks good. but i think it needs a bit more work. i liked the battle system but i think the ui is a little underwhelming. like the level up ui was unclear on whether it goes up or down. there should be more fantasy rpg level up elements. why can we only upgrade one character in a region?

Success!

[@hasibreza5426]

The direct top down view of the world map is giving me a headache! Either they need to make it slanted or the avatar side-wise.

[@pavelyankouski4913]

interesting hexagon hash, but the models isn't that styled, its looks like alpha or beta version

[@godoftwinkies574]

A few improvement needed (camera, ui) but seems promissing.

[@pushbutton8894]

You should review PATHWAY

[@phernandojp]

why you ignore the archers hability man? hahahah

[@jaket8947]

Was thinking less Ghost Recon and more OG Stronghold.

[@NumbDigger22]

Lord Gwen... lol

[@jameswachter5295]

I love you splat, it borders on romantically...

[@Oldmanpeace]

You need someone from Mid or North Wales, the English have globalised us in the South so not many of us speak the native language unfortunately.

[@tonynussbaum]

This game is looking pretty tits. Just requested access to the playtest.

[@gwynapnudd9199]

you domt need a Cymru, its not Cymregish

[@droe2570]

Lord Gwenn is Lady Gwenn. *facepalm*

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

Every turn based combat game dev should take a look hither. This is the way.

[@goidogoi]

It be nice if the guy walks instead of jumping around like an Army Men.

[@duaneclark7108]

Bummer. Put me on a list. No instant access

[@dominicmanester8125]

Nothing I hate more than overactive action-cam. Watching an overly complicated and long animation for the 100th time really gets to me. Include the animations but don't force me to watch like an overly proud parent.

[@PasOdMater]

Why isn't Gwenn a Lady? It's so annoying seeing these gender-neutral titles they implement for political correctness.

[@QisforQadim]

Lord Gwenn. Pass.

[@XShrike0]

I hate whoever thought it was a good idea to not auto pick loot after a match. I have seen this in Gloomhaven as well. I find it so stupid. Yes it can make the combat more intense. However I have yet to see an explanation on why you cannot loot afterwards. Not to mention it can look silly as you are avoiding combat to make sure you pick up all the loot before finishing the match. It's like CoD: Zombies, where you leave one crawler alive so everyone can finish their tasks before calling in the next wave.

[@Ylyrra]

I think the items on the battlefield are single-use items for that fight, they don't carry over between fights. The loot that you get as permanent items are rewards for completing the fight. It's a bit confusing because the first battle reward he got was something that gave him a "free" single-use item at the start of each battle. With you though that games that force you to artificially prolong a fight so you can run around looting are deeply annoying - this isn't one though as far as I'm aware.

[@skyraptor62]

THIS IS ALREADY 2023 Q1. WHY IS NOTHING OUT BY NOW???

[@irkanorphyn]

Plenty out lol

[@Brainreaver79]

why does being on the high ground in melee combat gets you advantages? you are way more negatively impacted by being on th high ground than the other way around

[@Aintaer]

Sounds like something Anakin would say

[@seankenny174]

People always talk about the sexism in videogames from female characters being limited to bikini armor, or better armor revealing more skin. They never talk about the sexism of male characters being limited to grey hair/old. lol. or is the implication that the female character is just as old but dyed their hair? depends on each game and the character lore.

[@seankenny174]

grey hair's a trend too. Witcher, for example. Of course, there's also the uno reverse where male armor also reveals more skin as it is "better," but that's rare.

[@seankenny174]

not as common but still
