The Space Wizard Roguelite Experience

[@ArthurIdrisov]

Ships outside look like they are giant cruisers, but inside they are just small costal guard boats. 😀

[@MichaelJakobsen-k6k]

Your leader's healing is a room healer, the bigger the room the better and two charges per jump, also necromancers can summon on enemy ship

You have a literal death knight and you send the wizard into melee.

The music in this is GOD tier levels atmospheric, coupled with the shield coming online noise just adds a bit of diegetic awesomeness.

[@pr_manager]

God im only just realizing, the reason I noticed these videos is because I was subscribed to all of your original FTL content, causing these videos to pop up when you started up again 2 or so weeks ago, wow time really does fly

[@BPedo8IGHT]

Really loving this! A seriously dark version of FTL is amazing! Not to backseat game, but I think you should consider using your psyker powers as much as you use your weapons. I get why you don't, I'd forget about them constantly, but I think they give you a serious advantage in battle

Just keep watching;)

[@dodang_9147]

@@soul1d not really, he's playing Kestal B in FTL with mass 1 shot weapons. the game is about boarding but the ship he has, the way it plays is shooting ship. He had to pick Ship B which has that Husk summon system

Also he got the heal power and never used it

[@dodang_9147]

@@soul1d i am pretty sure the way his ship is suppose work is that your suppose use teleport to teleport captain off ship before you fire. it is like mindcontrol FTL where you mindcontrol captain to get full accuracy on your weapons and then fire all 4 weapons which causes chaos on ship through poison THAN if ship is VERY weak to boarding from hazards, you can send death knight to crew kill but his ship is not boarding ship. It is mindcontrol ship with guns, kestrel B in essence from FTL. that is text-plate for how to play his ship.

[@doomguy9049]

Looks like you're basically playing as a not 40k plague marine in this run. I had never heard of this game until stumbling on your video the other day but love FTL and warhammer so this is right up my alley, hope you keep posting videos about it.

[@tereninsecundus6084]

Get's a store selling a weapon that fires 6 shots for 3 energy after 22 seconds, (The best power to damage ratio there is) where it's base-line version needs 2 power to fire 2 shots after 19 sesconds... and debates long and hard if he should buy it, when he has more than enough scrap to do so, and barely even buys it to take along! [Audible discomfort] Never even considers de-powering the three 1 shot 1 energy weapons to power up and use the new one-slot arsenal of pain and destruction he has acquired. [Yelp] Get's a store where 3 necromancers are for hire, each able to summon 3 Ghouls DIRECTLY ON THE ENEMY SHIP that could drown the enemy ship in no less than 9 (nine!) disposable troops to back up the Death Knight he already has that can do so much damage in boarding-action already, and DON'T HIRE A SINGLE ONE. [Visible pain] Takes the 6-shot-for-3-power weapon and PUTS IT IN STORAGE in order to mount a single-shot weapon that has only two rounds of ammunition per encounter, and can't re-charge like the 3 base guns or the one-slow-arsenal he just dismissed. [Anguished wails] There is a point where holding to 'do not back-seat game' becomes a session of pure unfiltered pain and misery. Are you INTENTIONALLY trying to avoid the absurd potential for conquest and domination you could have turned your ship into? Because I'd believe it if you said it was intended... If you want a harder run, crank up the difficulty and go to harder sectors.

[@WolfBangAlpha]

Not sure if others have mentioned in prior videos (or if you've noticed after filming this) but you can unlock the ships without buying them, you just need to get a win with the ship prior (hover over the ship for its prerequisite). -Psy powers are fun but I feel like they could make a separate menu where they're all in one place. If you have 3 summons + 2 ship damaging spells it's a lot of clicking at every battle. I'm up to torment 4 and I think enemy ships should have more formidable crew earlier on (3rd sector at least) so boarding isnt always so free (merchant ships look fairly tough). Another concern is that the space rift sectors that make subspace breaches are just really annoying, I feel like it shouldnt be every battle and that the difficulty should be the enemy ships more than the sectors themselves. You kept me floating in ftl and got me into this and back into monster train, thanks!

Loving void war! Do a run of every ship!

Loving the series and the return of Spearmintz!

[@Lunaraia]

I will point out the subspace rift summon demons into the ship if not repaired, and they are on your side since you made it.

[@peasant8246]

If true, I don't like it. Playing smart to exploit this new danger appearing on the battlefield to your advantage would be more fun than them being automatically your friends. Not to mention, it doesn't make logical sense, because the weapon only creates a rift, it is not a deamon control device.

[@Lunaraia]

@@peasant8246 this is only true from the rift caused by the weapon, as usually enemies would never get such rifts on their ship due to the nature of the fights that usually spawn them naturally.

[@tbmavenger71]

I think this would be more entertaining on higher difficulties. I would love to see you make another run on a hard difficulty with a challenging ship

[@UllricLex]

Cool game and the music sounds great.

Damn, finished the First three Videos today, I'm super Happy I got another one to watch now c:

[@lamcho00]

KZbin recommended this video after watching an FTL one. The algorithm is getting good. I really like the game too. Hope they build further on the tried tested FTL formula. Also hope you'll do different ships and play style runs in the future.

[@BurkDregard]

Looks like a great game. There are tons of fun combos i can see allready, the psykers are basically a minor ship weapon slot, etc.

[@e_brangelical]

I just found you on KZbin and definitely gonna follow. Reminds me of good ol' FTL

[@SiberianOldPal]

A cool ship! Maybe even a little bit on the "too strong" site, if you teleport Marine, and then debuff all the enemies for -3 DMG and gas

[@NeverLuckyE7]

thank you for sharing the link to buy the game!

[@joseph1981]

The ftl comparisons are completely valid imo, so i at least don't mind you making them. A lot of the ground work for the game is largely built from the framework of ftl, so naturally it comes with some scrutiny. If the devs want people to be less harsh about that aspect, all they have to do is double down on what makes the game different 🤷‍♂️

[@volchonokilliR]

I breezed through the game with this, mauling enemy crews... But didn't realize that teleportation ability could target other rooms xD

[@michaelsciortino3385]

Imagine a few years down the road when this game has its equivalent of multiverse mod

[@Alexandragon1]

20:42 FACEPALM WHY?! You have a LITERAL Death Knight and you send WIZARD into melee 1vs4. 21:51 YAY! 23:45 yeah, equipment system is a GREAT addition to basic idea of FTL-type game! 24:58 you can heal 2 times per location BEFORE jump to next location. Healing can be quite OP. 27:29 WOAH. So much HP. Almost the same amount as Centurion/Knight has. 29:20 FACEPALM. 10 seconds ago you spent ALL your scrap... 33:33 This could be quite OP Thx for the video! Great series!

[@pr_manager]

We shout because we love watching him succeed

[@DeamonReader]

If you could... Could you put all the videos in to one single segment run after you release all the pieces. Long form content on KZbin is fed to people who are sleeping and it's a hack to make your videos more popular. Also I prefer to wait and watch the whole run as suppose to a few pieces each day. Other than that I love your content and keep up the great job.

[@Whosaneca]

I have not gotten to do a second run yet, but all torment 1 does is make weather more intense, and "merchant stocks has significantly greater variety" I think the normal mode probably has a much smaller number of choices in order to make winning the run pretty easy is my guess.

[@spearmintz1]

Very good intel, didn't realize it was concrete changes that were made each increasing difficulty. I'll give it a look!

[@peasant8246]

This game's aesthetics remind me of "Dark Sky Derelicts", you should feature that game on your channel one day.

[@zeburgerkang]

i am a fan of low powered games that allow lots of game play with incredible re-playability.

[@kenandersson4421]

So after you kill the crew can you destroy the ship also to get more scrap?

[@wyattr7982]

A few metal inspired songs in the soundtrack like in Necromunda Hired Gun would be sick

[@wikimody5013]

You keep forgetting to use psyhic abilities, you got healing on your main leader and damage to enemy crew, combined with poison you can in one cast put a lot of enemies into hp range where poson kils them and help your border, and the cultist with teleport also has debuff with massively decreaes damage of enemies. Using it with healing from captain should make your space marine nearly undefeated.

[@spearmintz1]

Reminder that I am new to this game and trying to commentate as well lol, but don't worry I use them extensively by the end of the run! Psychic abilities are badass!

[@haraberu]

Necromancer innate skill: Animate Dead: Summon 2 Ghouls ***IN TARGET ROOM***. 22:34 "Honestly *sending him over* and then summoning ghouls would be nice." Why would you do that? Why do you insist on sending your squishy wizards into melee range even though spells can target either ship?

[@griffish97]

It depends on the weapon you're using for it to do crew damage. The Storm cannon's description says it inflicts minor crew damage. Weird that the Putrefactor weapons on that ship don't do crew damage, they only create poison on hit. Weird but I think its a nice touch.

[@griffish97]

lol i commented before you figured it out

[@anonimus370]

21:47 you'd think sending your superhuman soldier to board would be the first option.

[@Bancheis]

You would also think after getting a healer he would heal at least once. Two charges per jump and he jumps with

[@anonimus370]

even if crew is supposed to be expendable I'd like to see the skill system back, makes losing them that much worse.

[@r3dp9]

4:06 Pet peeve time: No, you did NOT "lie". Conflating lies with errors is a mistake. A better way to say what you meant was "...but maybe I'm wrong/misremembering/mistaken." From Websters dictionary: Lied; Lying: 1. To make an untrue statement with INTENT to DECEIVE. 2. To create a false or misleading IMPRESSION. (Ie, twisting the truth, lying by omission, etc.) Lying requires INTENT by a liar (though lies can be passed on to an unwitting patsy by an original liar). An UNINTENTIONAL falsehood can be called a mistake, an error, mispeaking, or false. Villains too often get away with bold face lies by claiming that they merely 'mispoke', then turn around and persecute anyone with honest disagreements by calling them 'liars'. The inability to understand the difference between lies and errors, and the ease with which the two concepts are confused, underpins some of the most dangerous propaganda that divides modern society. This confusion isn't just restricted to villains, it has become extremely fashionable and infectious across all of society.

[@Bodgie7878]

I'd argue that it's probably tiptoeing the line but even if there were grounds to sue, probably nothing will happen, FTL came out a long time ago and it wasn't some big company that released it which tend to be the most litigious
