[@robertcotrell9810]

I'm going to need you to redo and read EVERYTHING "cute wittle kitty."

[@malevolentsounds]

A day I never thought I would see come. Retromation playing an anime game

[@ChampionJan]

You want a treat? Search for him playing Vivid Knight. Comedy gold

[@rhymeswithmoose228]

It's happened before, and it is pure comedy without fail.

[@tsitokentan6462]

Its happened thrice i think

[@StonedtotheBones13]

The little anime Reto in the corner of the thumbnail gets me every time

[@dutchwarrior2192]

This looks fun, I’d watch a part two of this.

[@Apudurangdinya]

yeah, like i need at least 3 videos to convince me to try

[@acyned8079]

This game is by Cygames! That usually means two things. 1, it's quality is well guaranteed. 2, you can have some doubts of them translating games, but since this came out in English we are good.

[@vecchiosaggio320]

5:42 HE DID THE THING! He said the name before performing it, as an anime enjoyer... *sniff* I'm so proud of him

[@SpoonsDebonair]

You can't just not say Cute wittle kittie. We need it, I need it more than you will ever know.

[@alexkirnie9347]

Went from uninterested to instant buy. I would look forward to watching more of it.

[@StonedtotheBones13]

I love that your minions are called Lilliputs after the Lilliputians and also the storyline is intriguing enough for me to still mostly remember it 10 days later. And it played good!

[@daman8492]

Thanks Cygames, very cool. Can't wait for the PreConne and Uma Musume DLC.

[@kurizu007]

gonna buy it probably, the fact u can customize ur attack pattern and playstyle is what i like the most and intrigue me

[@ThatGuyOnTheSpectrum]

I got this day one and it's really good. definitely a hidden gem

[@kuhakuorigin1365]

I'd love to see more of this, looks really fun and cute. As always, great video!

[@muckyleaf5497]

Oh wow, I used to play the little Noah phone game years ago, this is amazing ^^

[@Junogray]

Love it, seems a lot of the frame stuttering didn't make it into the video, wonder how it plays when you aren't recording. Seems very cute and with a lot of options, looks like a worthy pick up

[@KugutsuYushiro]

They just meant hitstop, not actual framerate issues

[@zeedstun891]

@@KugutsuYushiro no. theres actually a few times in complete empty rooms where you see the frames stutter

[@Linkbond]

I don't mean to backseat you Reto, but the Core Emblem was the thing you upgraded that gave you the potion.

[@Linkbond]

Reto: How does someone buy a new Lilliput? Game: Let me show you.

[@waka1834]

I'd love to see a series on this

[@SirFailureOfKnights]

We should do a short series just to see what a fully equipped run looks like

[@smeggedoff]

Very neat. Akihiko Yoshida's a great art director, Would love to see more of this Reto

[@jealousagain783]

I was getting big Ivalice vibes from the 2D art, and now I know why

[@N1netbattler]

I got this a day ago it basically played it all day lol, its so fun to beat stuff up. It'd be cool if they added more stages

[@N1netbattler]

btw they never tell you this but you dont get the passives by boosting the bond lvl but by finding 3 of the same liliput in a run

[@acyned8079]

I love the game, would really love to watch you play it more!

[@Rigdereine]

I really really wish for it to become a series. It looks so damn cute and having it read like that makes it even more funny.

[@duffpaddy3996]

This looks like happy ender lilies gone roguelike

[@N3rOS]

now we need a mini serie

[@ThiVasss]

I dont know about steam, but on the switch the controls feel a bit delayed, unrensponsive. Other than that, the game has some great ideas and systems.

[@vickydixon7512]

Foe means enemy. I guess whenever you get a champion or another item that does frostbite on hit, it's upgraded to glaciate which probably does more damage or freezes them.

[@kitty1931]

I was sold at 'cute wittle kitty'. Please play more of this!

[@donaldsnyder1543]

Interesting game. Might your framerate issues be due to programs you have to run to put it on youtube etc?

[@UrgentSword]

looks pretty good. I would love to see a series

[@davidsudjana]

liliputs, champs, astrals are the same thing btw. they are just different translation & localization from the older game. kinda fun that they are mixing them up together now

[@serenity3157]

I hope their Re:link will be smooth like this. I'm enjoying this game till now, the dying and upgrading loop reminds me of hades.

[@joelhaggis5054]

Cracked up when Reto asked "How does a man buy a new Lilliput?" and the game immediately answered.

[@cantrip7]

Thanks for the gameplay video! I look you up when there's a new roguelike/lite game I wanna check out. Appreciate hearing your thoughts while you play and how you work through decisions.

[@jyomi7506]

I feel like there's a lot of complexity in the attack combos, hopefully they really went all in on it cause it looks like a lot of fun.

[@atlaspront0]

"Oh no, is this fun?" Reto, you can't do this to me again after Vivid Knight.

[@PixelleHearts]

So fun fact about Cygames' ....well, games: They are partially owned by Nintendo and the director for their game design/illustration/game dev department, CyDesignation, is the artist for Final Fantasy Tactics, Akihiko Yoshida. Yoshida typically doesn't get too involved in a game if he doesn't believe that it will do well for a genre it's going to be a part of, which is why when Bravely Default was in development, they put out several demos at different stages of development with surveys to check and see what players liked. He probably wanted to nail down his own entry with some polished design for this game, which is why it might be more appealing to those who don't really like the genre.

[@krytenfivetwothreep2485]

Nice to get confirmation, I was getting a Bravely Default vibe from the art style, came down to the comments to see if anyone else had said anything about it, so thanks for your comment!

[@PixelleHearts]

@@krytenfivetwothreep2485 unfortunately, he doesn't freelance any more, so any future installments won't have contributions from him.

[@crazykim]

​@@krytenfivetwothreep2485 Seriously, as soon as I saw her design my brain went "mrgrgr" and unlocked memories of that game that really shouldn't be around anymore considering my memory is horrible. It was like.. 8 years ago I played that. Anyway I'm gonna go listen to that soundtrack on repeat for the next two days.

[@viniciustomal3219]

Really sad that we did not saw an western release for Knights of Glory, the older game from Cygames that was (beautifuly) illustrated by Yoshida-san, it kinda lived on trough Dragalia Lost (that has the same director of the original release of Little Noah, coincidentally ) reusing a lot of the designs, but since DL is now on maintenance mode, Kinghts of Glory legacy is a bit lost (pun intended)...

[@akiradkcn]

no, they are NOT owned by nintendo by any degree, Cygames is owned by Cyber Agent They just made a collab with nintendo ONCE to develop Dragalia Lost please don't spread misinformation like that

[@noxxus5127]

Would love to see it as a series.

[@APG93]

2:44 say it Reto. DO IT! uWu

[@shonbendavid6256]

my doctor warned me about having this much sugar

[@OGgrimmthekid]

Omg i been excited as soon as I saw this on the direct I'm so glad you like it now I'm definitely going to pick it up

[@robertestevesdesousa3748]

Miniseries maybe?

[@blueheartorangeheart3768]

The UI reminds me a lot of Genshin impact

[@smievil]

a little bit like ender lilies but colors so you see things

[@Linkbond]

Ngl, my wallet is going to want to put a hit out on me with how many games I am buying on the first of next month, including this one honestly.

[@enestasc5501]

"I love my job..."

[@Deadflower019]

I'm 10 seconds in and I'm guessing what the game is so the title I'm going with is: Super Genshin Bros: The Pokemoning of Isaac

[@akiradkcn]

>no keyboard >on a PC game bruh

[@Evilman6000]

Very interesting and colourful game, ty for playing it.

[@embermayve]

Hey thanks for covering this, what I saw from the nintendo preview wasn't very impressive but now that you showed such a thorough look at the systems in it I might pick this up.

[@Siggy313]

For those who are keyboard/mouse only: it has been added as of patch 1.01b, released toward the beginning of August. For more details, check the patch notes in Steam. The game devs plan to release bugfixes and monthly content updates. Hope support keeps up for a while. Given the price tag, I might be looking into this one myself.

[@cody180sx]

The art definitely has a Bravely Default feel to it.

[@nightwing367]

I shall DOOM you to make it a playthrough with my overwhelming viewer involvement! MUAHAHAHAH, I am so eeeevil!

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

You did far better than I did versus King... Two attempts on Normal while it took me five attempts and a bump down to Easy... XD

[@CaptAoife]

This was fun to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing you play this more.

[@Tada_no_Senshi]

Well If it ain't obvious the same artist/artists that made Bravely Default are doing a great job here and if it is not them well the copycat is one heck of a expert. 19:51 Ask and you shall receive.

[@KugutsuYushiro]

The screen pausing when you hit something is called "hitstop."

[@Kyouma.]

I would love to play this, but I won't buy an Xbox or PS3 controller just for that. Is it so hard to support standard PC controllers?

[@IzFanArt69]

look like ender lilies but card attack

[@letsmakeit110]

A roguelike with meta progress is just an RPG. Which is fine some ppl like rpgs and this looks like a good one.

[@Spork72]

I blame you, I bought this and then all of a sudden, my night disappeared. Weird how that happens

[@samkoud]

shame, it looks like a fun concept and mechanics however the visual style and presentation were are almost unbearable

[@mestrepanda]

Embrace your inner weeb, Reto. You can't resist much longer

[@Trooner09]

OMG, I thought I would never see her again. Sad her other game close.

[@letsmakeit110]

say the line Reto >:) CUTE. WITTLE. KITTY!

[@alexanderfletcher3375]

I played it on switch is not bad really fun has a few limits indo and don't like u can do combos because some enemies don't work with the combos and the mid and main bosses don't have a stun phases but it could just me

[@Mestai31]

The attack patterns remind me of playing Olimar in smash.

[@bobjob2514]

But why’s her name Noah? Translation thing?

[@blasthf]

While I know this is totally not your style. This is super Pog.

[@agr0nianTV]

Controller only is a deal breaker and also not a game that'd keep my attention for long

[@MiguelangeloSambista]

it would be interesting to see if the cat is the girl's dad or related to him somehow

[@smargio]

It's fun to watch you play this. Too bad it has so much stuff that you are not a fan of.

[@schulermarka]

You didn't make it to the titan (scary giant boss)

[@Frank_DLC]

Bravo.. on not commiting to the Wittle Kitty text LOL

[@thatanonwholurksmoar7386]

Such a damn good game but holy crap is it short

[@drkmgic]

You had me at creature collecting and rougelike

[@KeithThedfordII]

Please make this a series.

[@smargio]

Commenting on the video to support the channel

[@MerculiarchSyn]

*heavy weeb breathing* SERIES!!!

[@rovietergeek]

I'd really love watch more of this

[@elsewhereprince3969]

Yes! I did not expect the chao garden reference.

[@Rigdereine]

I got it directly after watching it from you. It's actually a lot of fun but also there is a solid amount of grind involved. There are many different teams you can build and after all the grind is done the runs getting a bit easy. At the end the game already says "to be continued....". It only cost around 15 buckets, for this amount of polish, a cheap price, but I think they will start releasing dlc for more content and different Dungeons. I actually like that model. I hope the game will be successful.

[@applesfromeve]

It’s simple. You play game I get the game

[@warpseer]

youll pet that widdle kitty, and youll like it!

[@TheFluffiestZinogre]

The art style feels strongly similar to Bravely Default, not sure if it's an art style of its own or not unfortunately.

[@davidsudjana]

Its Akihiko Yoshida's artstyle

[@jasonsherman3708]

Buttons’ attack animation and description “it’s their own fault” is a reference to Bart and Lisa getting into a fight and they windmill their arms while walking at each other, claiming it’s your fault if you get hit

[@audreygirard1411]

Flashbacks to events from a few minutes ago area time honored JRPG tradition.

[@pepper9238]

Cute game

[@justandrea5036]

I can belive this game exist i remember playing little noah on the phone(it was a game like clash of clans) until it closed a few years ago

[@michaelwalker327]

If they fix that frame rate bug. This looks really good. I'd love to see a series on this. Thanks

[@drive_6665]

Ahh I see kawaii Reto is back uwu

[@b.o.p1780]

9:30 The places in Gullivers travels is Liliput and Blefuscu. The people of liliput are called Liliputians.

[@Wargasmo]

Whoa, it's like a rougelike version of that old Noah's Ark game on the NES back in the day, haha. Neat.

[@Raincloudz973]

I looked that up and I don't think they're alike but it's cool you know such a rare game

[@Wargasmo]

@@Raincloudz973 Yeah, mostly in the sense that they're platformers where you collect animals I guess. Yeah a few Bible games on the NES were actually pretty awesome, haha.

[@Segmented]

I was hoping you would try this after seeing it on the Nintendo Direct the other day.

[@cesaroliveira5985]

Series please rs love it

[@Izzybsides]

Thanks for the review! one of the first out with this

[@blacklion2619]

pls give us some more

[@h2amster328]

I'm downloading the game to my switch rn uwu

[@GGysar]

cuteness is justice.

[@khangleshun]

I am really enjoying this game. It feels so good.

[@rsiv5156]

Looks pretty fun, and great artwork. Kind of reminds me of a cutesy version of Ender Lillies.

[@kittybrained]

looks a lot like bravely default/second
