The Deep Space Mercenary RPG That's Dominating My Free Time - Quasimorph

[@matthewavery8756]

Glad you are covering this game again! I absolutely love Quasimorph and all of the updates have been good quality overall. I played a ton of this game and loved every moment! I would point out that the quasimorphosis mechanic is manageable though when you are first starting out... you will want to avoid the areas that suffer quasimorphosis. also there are a ton of hidden mechanics. E.g. those barrels that everyone should be scared of... you can loot them and take the fuel out of them to "disarm" them 😆

[@Error-mn4el]

about the drops from robots, I havent played in a while but I HIGHLY recommend amputating robot limbs and disasembling whatever you get, most of the time its just pipes and such but the heads can be valuable also yea mission difficulty is interesting, at least its marked now which is nice, sometimes its killing dudes wearing shirts who use pipes as weapons sometimes you invade an underground lab full of "pleasure" robots all armed with vibro blades

[@Maniacman2030]

Not the good type of "vibro blades", but they will shove them in the same place.

[@JORDAN-CHRISTOPHERSPENCER]

do the pleasure robots try to jam the vibrating dildo blades up your butt?

[@thundergunner4284]

So, Cat doesn’t mention this at 15:43 so I’ll say it just in case it helps anyone else out, the Darknet Unit, and other items like it, can also be used to upgrade random perks on your character. I think you loose the perk progress on death, but still helpful if you can’t extract with it. Honestly I didn’t even know those had ship upgrades attached to them. This game is very convoluted sometimes lol. Always something to learn.

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

Yes. Let's you boost tunnel rat skills to the stratosphere early for huge gains. I begrudgingly give them to my ship, or hope i find a bunch for ship upgrades BEFORE I find tunnel rat.

[@bartekh4239]

26:25 You can chop robots up for electronic parts, just like humans for meat

[@plumbthumbs9584]

Soylent Blue is made of robots!

[@ColonelZoren]

That implies i consider them humans to begin with...

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I bought this a couple weeks ago, and this video has me excited to find time for it.

[@twls153]

Tip #1: You can empty fuel barrels by opening it like any inventory and removing the fuel. It makes the barrel safe to stay around. Tip #2: If you call a Capsule you can see where it dropped on the map, it will show the location even if you didn't revealed that place (unless there is a jammer in the map).

[@dr.robotnik3684]

My Bro is running the Unchained belt. Tip: ABUSE the movement setting, sneak allows youbto see hidden enmies at small range. Sneak, run, sprint, all have pros and cons

[@sunbrother735]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can open and then close a door in the same turn while sneaking too in case you want to see what's on the other side safely.

[@Jasta85]

Splat: Don't move around corners with your last AP point, take it from a veteran. Proceeds to do it twice in a row and get shot in the face both times. The Splat school of life, do as I say, not as I do heh.

[@Flavalicious]

Has the servo backpack, doesnt pick up guns for the 2 extra weapon slots. Then doesnt bring sorb for infections evem though its free to mass produce 😂 Guy does it on purpose for comments i think lol

[@lucidnonsense942]

​@@Flavalicious yeah, splat's admitted as much on stream. Plus, it encourages people to play the game, so they can do it properly. Matt's been around the block a few times now and he's pretty upfront about it.

[@Flavalicious]

@@lucidnonsense942 fair enough. I enjoy a good number of games he showcases so its win/win for everyone even if a bit frustrating lol.

[@TheDarkslayer1987]

Glad to see you coming back for the new updates! I love this game

[@apencil5147]

I know you don’t so series but please do one on this game, you seem to know so much about it and it’s fun to watch you enjoy the game!

[@wedsv]

Hey Splat, there are a couple of Quality of Life mods like floating damage numbers and hotkeys for the context menu, that made my time with the game significantly better. In case you want to check them out. You also mentioned you got roasted by an enemy on the other side of the door and you couldn't do anything about it. You can put fires out with waterbottles. And you probably know already, that it helps to open the door NOT with the last AP of you turn, so that you can close it again or step away from it after opening. If you are walking it takes one AP to open and close doors, but if you are sneaking, opening and closing doors is free. Interaction with the inventory is also free while sneaking. That means, you can safely open and close the door on your turn to spy into a room. The enemies only detect you on their own turn. Dude, it's kinda hard to not write more... let's say, I see still a lots room for improval in your playstyle, maybe you rushed a bit while talking to us. It's gonna be fun to learn the quirky and unintuitive mechanics of this game. Sometimes it feels very punishing. I dropped the game on several occasions, because I was too mad. I believe the game is made in a way, that you can not plan for certain cirumstances and will almost certainly die in unfamiliar situations, like experiencing a high quasimorphosis level for the first time, or certain bramfaturas which all have different resistances and need a different loadoat at the beginning.

[@rottenmeat5934]

Splat can always use a few hints with most games. :P

[@piedpiper1172]

I see Splat’s strategy of intentional sub optimal play without ever commenting on it has once again succeeded in filling his comment sections with insightful, detailed, and nuanced guides. The strategy never fails. I wonder how many viewers end up finding him via search results pointing to his comment sections?

[@ttsymphonyg]

That soundtrack is a banger!

[@ExtraTrstl]

Hah! I've been looking forward you to doing this one again with the recent updates. I am usually not a "Berlin Roguelike" type of person but dang I love this thing. Anyone reading this should ABSOLUTELY check it out, grab a guide, and enjoy! It's punishing and it's a little bit inscrutable (especially in UI on the galaxy screens/trading), but it is really smart.

[@ArthurIdrisov]

Collects sorbent to fight infection... totally ignores antibiotics that do the job even better. 😀

[@Lyonatan]

Yeah, we don't watch him for the godlike gaming skills, we watch him cuz he's a nice dude.

[@ArthurIdrisov]

@@Lyonatan true dat. I'm here with you guys for his great personality!

[@auquitaine9201]

@@Lyonatan Speak for yourself, compared to *some* of *us* his skills *are* godlike, i bring my notebook to these videos

[@JORDAN-CHRISTOPHERSPENCER]

he is very bad at games and ignoring obvious things, it drives me insane how he wont be able to find something hes looking for when its right in front of him but i do like him and his candor alot.

[@maddorori817]

sorbents are actually overall better than antidotes, free to manufacture and you can have as much as you want every run, negating any possible chances of infection. then you can just throw it away to give way for loot

[@sylvan429]

another reminder that Trese brothers have been banging away on cyber knights 👀

[@Kitkat-986]

Ah cool, they made that funny spreadsheet simulator with spaceships for the Android appstore.

[@Dynaze221]

YESSSSSS MORE QUASIMORRRPH I PLAYED MY ONLY 1 SAVE FOR 350 HRS STRAIGHT, ITS TOO GOOOOD aAAHHHH

[@Spiffybaldguy]

I feel like this is a much more in depth game but has some Jupiter Hell vibes (which is an absolute win for me). I have really been diving into turn based games last few years as I age out of the ability to safely play FPS games or fast paced games.

[@dfcloud]

right click on enemy will show what weapon theyre using, you can even see their resistance so you can easily chose the right equipment to 'handle' them

[@praevasc4299]

Oh, I wish the base inventory interface was larger, instead of only showing 5 rows. I know it aligns well with the character inventory, but come one, there is a lot of screen space, should have used it to display more rows at the same time!

[@maddorori817]

hopefully the devs improves it on future updates or a Modder seeing your comment, who knows! 😅

[@Gigusx]

The moment demons vs robots fights get introduced I'm becoming the biggest UFC fan.

[@claytonfitzgerald782]

Thanks mate 😃 I swear the soundtrack went all Type O Negative for a bit.

[@ang3r1c0]

Wow, the soundtrack kicks ass!

[@salesir6502]

yo I got like 200 hours in this game! once you get too deep there isn't much to do in it anymore; story only goes so far and once you learn about classes and how they mix with SKULLs the game kinda becomes irrelevant; my goto is packrat with shotgun with the effect that summons friendly Qs out of blood pools; just walk into a pool of your enemies (or your own if your desperate) and spread it around and summon, the more summons the more allies you summon after. just spam this and you kill all the mobs in the map and any boss that spawns. and because of the packrat trait you can loot your summoned allies for Q artifacts (heals, food, Q- level decrease, equipment repair, etc) there are 3 other builds I use situationally but this one clears the entire game super easy

[@TheHoriyoshi]

That it is not soooo thrilling anymore...after 200!!! hours is somehow expextable....😆😆, if that game only gives me like 30 entertaining hours...I am already more than happy.

[@Doctor__Wiki]

Dude! The music shift is SICK! 12:40

[@daniell1483]

"Col. Sander's story took a dark turn... I guess he got tired of Ronald McDonald's BS." 27:02 Got me good!

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

Stoneshard kicks my butt every time. I am hoping I can do better with this one, but I will still check in on Stoneshard when I am in the mood for punishment.

[@kasper7203]

Wow.. For the first time I can hear the music of the game

[@joelmitchell7597]

I have to go play this again right now thanks splat

[@Kitkat-986]

I weep for what is left of my beloved Jeffhammer. Rest in peace.

[@tjk3430]

Splat, would love to see a session of Quasimorph on Twitch if you're up for it!

[@Tonedriver]

4:05 That’s honestly often times as far as I prefer good and evil mechanics going in games, just personally. All I want is harder stuff to end up fighting.

[@DK_HAXX]

Oh.. So its like... A dystopian Doom'ish sort of world. Sounds cool actually and I love the way the you control the game.

[@jgg-ox2uq]

This soundtrack is something else. Damn.

[@ceritusorbis]

This game is so much fun. Very understandable why it's your go-to.

[@Tonedriver]

Just wanted to say, Drova seems cool, it just released on console a couple days ago.

[@westr70]

I like this! Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!

[@Gnipahell1r]

Would you please, if possible and available, provide links to the games on GOG as well. On steam you don‘t own the game while on GOG you do.

[@Saulbreadman]

I second this. Gog is the goat.

[@pavleh4602]

Yup i started to buy exclusive on gog

[@lordgarth1]

🙄

[@Kamunchu]

I wish this were true. But just read terms and conditions.

[@SmileyFaceOfRom]

You only have a license on GOG as well, but the installer remains forever. GOG clarified their own prior media post on the matter.

[@tompuce84]

Hey Splat, great vid as usual. I love this game and you seem pretty good at it but your complain about being vaporized when opening a door seems strange to me: why won't you sneak? You avoid a lot of bad surprises when you sneak dude. Thx for the vid!!!

[@LV_427]

I hope you'll get to 1M subscribers soon, Splat

[@Doctor__Wiki]

I was looking at this! Going to have to give it another look!

[@quattroCrazy]

It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who reminds my self to not walk around corners with 1 ap and then immediately does so 😂

[@Gregorious4]

W video as always Splat

[@chidoku]

This game seems awesome. I get the feeling the dev/devs is/are a fan of the HFY story Creature 88, which is an awesome Humanity F Yeah! story

[@richardmorrison1495]

This was a great review and got me off the fence and I bought it.

[@ozidarkstar9956]

Heck yes this is such a gem of a game

[@WonderWolf13]

Quick question from a new player: at around 19:40 it looks like you open up a trade interface for one of the stations in space. How? Is that one of the ship upgrades? I always have to land to trade my stuff in person.

[@НиколайЛамберт]

They added HP for mercs, but also tuned up numer of enemies. So much, that thye had to create new obstacle tile - pile of bodies. Also it became too grindy. After some moment you just farm missions in hopes of getting needed equioment, and as there is no longer free repair for the ship - you NEED to grind for equi and not just having couple of spares. And need to grind a lot for the uprades. And grind for rep - which is annoying as most missions for needed corporations expire in time you fly towards them. Rework of injuries made amputating own bodyparts obsolete.

[@discordinmymind6565]

2:05, I see he remembers what killed his mercenary 😅

[@jamie6091]

Looks great!

[@sektor_mk2]

The color palette in earlier builds was very "green" and that did not feel as "dark sci-fi" as I would have liked. I see they strongly improved on color spectrum here. This is kind of the big thing for me.

[@maddorori817]

there's also a way to cheese the incredibly hard endgame enemies(if you're desperate enough) kill as many enemies as you possibly can until the Q-morphosis meter is almost full, then move into a corner to simulate a killbox. Then hose down any demons that come your way they're way, waay easier compared to 10 dudes with overpowered exosuits and guns than can essentially send you 6ft below in a single turn a tip earned with blood and sweat of countless percy clones. thank me later

[@Kitkat-986]

Incendiary grenades solve many problems. And Jeffhammers solve the rest.

[@zaidounazzam7288]

I played this game afew months back, I liked the combat, I didn't mind the difficulty and the need to stay ahead of the Q meter, but I can't play a game with a none existing progress system, not only u lose ur gear and loot but u lose the class exp, a losing streak might drag u all the way back to starter gear or a naked merc, looking at it now, I might try it again.

[@franciscobalanar3453]

There's a training facility upgrade to get levels+some items are now exp sticks for skills besides trade/disassembly value.

[@Kitkat-986]

The loot you collect and ship upgrades you make are long term progression. You can even modify character classes with the right upgrade now.

[@KABLAMMATS]

14:42 you still can check your enemy's info, right? i havent test the new beta yet

[@jardelainen8278]

You can inspect enemies and their gear with right mouse button

[@momirbaborac5536]

This needs to be a finished game with sequels and dls,s like yesterday.

[@713thHellhound]

goddamn it another game bought curse you Splattercat 😂 great video

[@dirtydeeds4free553]

I got it last time you covered it. It took me till this long to figure out the trading. Tbf, ive only sunk like 30 hours into it

[@timothydavies5337]

whoa its stonehearth in space cool :)

[@deltarno7502]

Man, I want to play this game, but I keep waiting until the final release, so I can get the full experience. Fingers crossed that it will finish soon.

[@Kitkat-986]

It's worth playing now tbh

[@klemklemius5091]

I LOVE this game! More More More!

[@d.aardent9382]

i get kinda Crusader vibes from this. Looks cool.

[@MrDLYouTube]

This looks interesting, is it fully turn based? I usually don't buy EA games due to being burned too many times they get abandoned, but this would fit perfectly as a background game on my office PC IF it really is fully turnbased. Is it? If you stand still nothing happens right? Does it have windowed mode?

[@akiwoo5205]

Yes and yes. There isn’t a pause when in space, but just hit escape or go into a screen to pause time.

[@Mordrakus]

How about reviewing the recently released "Passageway of the Ancients".

[@Stealth86651]

Such a good game, basically perfect for what I wanted. Especially considering how I'd be playing DoomRL and wishing I had that but more lol.

[@DPtheOG]

Wow, another person who actually plays DoomRL. Nuke the Cyberdemon!

You can disarm the fuel barrels by taking the fuel out of it.

I almost bought this in sale last week Got Stone Shard instead. Definitely enjoying it but probably would have liked getting this more for now woth jt being more conplete atm.

[@kvera]

It's like Stoneshard, but in space! I love It!

[@nashiffuadkhan9817]

True. Stoneshard has a bit more complexity interms of combat. Quasi is quite simple for combat but forces you to be more mindful of gear than the former.

[@mrploppy82]

I played a build where I used melee and had a bunch of dodge and it was stupid strong and fun. Only died to an explosion.

[@franciscobalanar3453]

[@BunkerAnon]

Looks like a game called Strike Squad that had a similar vibe as a Squad RPG. You could hit up alien prostitutes and possibly die to various reasons.

[@DPtheOG]

Such as dying by alien prostitutes?

[@elbonnybar]

Yes, Nice Game. When i get the chance it getting added

[@redmisfit6701]

Im so glad you brought up the flamethrowers! i hate them so much

[@ianallen738]

Reminds me of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, only its demonic sci-fi instead of DnD.

[@someone-xx6qz]

I mean if you sneak you can "sense" whatever might be nearby

[@VinylMorpheus]

Is this game fun to play on Steam deck? Or is mouse and keyboard more critical

[@zomalasg]

this game... omg it gave me so much doomrl vibe, specially with this whole shotgun action - shoot and pump flow... amazing 10/10

[@charles_teak]

No need any comment, this game is *good.* Wishlisted.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

Why does your ship look like the rifles from Aliens? 😂

[@georgiyyamov5827]

It's def like Stoneshard. They share publisher, similar framework, it's just Stoneshard devs update once a 3 years, while Quasi devs do it every 3 weeks. I guess corporate vs medieval ethics at play

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

"This game is definitely in need of some balancing passes. Just because theres a lot of things in this game that when you open a door you instantly get vaporized..." My friend. That is intended 😂. You should try unfair mode and see what actual difficulty feels like lmao.

Sneak eats more food than walk. Baseline is 3cal sneak 4cal walk so 2cal per step.

[@supertrader7791]

Played it. Grindy, interface is so-so and its essentially fighting devs demons in their game with grindy style Soviet waiting line for anything. Poor man Tarkov where demons got thrown in to cover odd design choices.
