THE WORLD OF HOLOLIVE RETURNS! - HOLOCURE

[@kyrs.7687]

My favorite part of Tom's Holocure videos is his deep knowledge of the lore.

[@PierceArner]

He definitely brings the _"HoloLore or HoloYour"_ to *HoloCure* in a way that no one else does.

[@TheOneTheyCallShandy]

its why i watch these videos.

[@EDoyl]

a RIDICULOUS amount of content in this game. It's 'just' a vtuber fan project but it is, even independently of any fandom, one of the best Vampire Survivors like games.

[@luketfer]

Indeed considering the amount of absolute garbage Survivorlikes we've seen shat out in the past year (especially on mobile), Holocure is a breath of fresh air in just the sheer amount of content it provides putting it on par with the original Vampire Survivors IMO.

[@JakeTheBeastDelta]

The reason Ollie's ultimate is what it is is because one of Ollie's favorite games is Apex Legends and one of her favorite guns before it was nerfed was the charge rifle. It is yellow because during one of her streams she said, " I piss like a charge rifle."

[@MMA-SirOwlbie]

Truly, the world of vtubers is all glitz, glamour and decorum just like I expected xD Just hearing nuggets of HoloLive lore is some of the funniest stuff, lmao.

[@asakayosapro]

Just remember to rotate as fast as possible to hit as many as possible while it’s charging, then when it’s about to fire, aim at whatever enemy you want deleted…

[@baronvonsatchel]

Tom must be the world's biggest Hololive fan who's never watched a Hololive stream

[@kitastrophist]

Dancing around and not picking up that stamp at the start was killing me.

[@phaolo6]

True, he only noticed it at 9:10 😫

[@noah.2B]

I like that Tom playing more Holocure means that Josh is contractually obliged to research art of the Hololive girls in order to make the thumbnails.

[@MMA-SirOwlbie]

'research'.

[@PierceArner]

I can only imagine how Tom's videos impact his search history.

[@Golden_Raijin]

"Oh God that's a wall" perfectly sums up my experience with this level

[@Poppyjasper1]

It’s brilliant to be seeing Tom playing Holocure again. 100% accurate Holo deep lore is just a bonus.

[@jonasquinn7977]

This gives off real “dad trying to understand their kids hobby” energy

[@deltaangelfire]

Man I don't think I've heard a "Shit the bed!" in a long time

[@PierceArner]

I didn't think about it until I saw this comment, but you're right. This one was an especially prominent one as well.

[@liastaob]

@@PierceArner Honestly he's been really watching his language lately. Probably has something to do with videos getting demonetized...

[@PierceArner]

@@liastaob I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's a contributing factor, since *Hat Films* only really circumvents that issue with memberships.

[@dirzz]

I hope Tom visits this game again and checks out all the new features, he didn't even see the HoloHouse! Fishing, farming, cooking and building minigames.

[@cloudybrains]

Impressive that Tom decides to play this game on hard mode by not taking the character's OP abilities!

[@danielgold9487]

He came here to win not to read lol, bet he never read what ollie's holosimp or anya's slumber did

[@DeltaEntropy]

His inexplicable aversion to skills is both hilarious and unendingly frustrating

[@MMA-SirOwlbie]

Some of them can be hard to miss if you don't read the whole description and see the character's name there xD Knowing Tom's fascinating maxed out ability to skim read, I'm just happy he usually takes ones that are more obvious!

[@liastaob]

@@danielgold9487 Amusingly, the slumber ability ties into his eternal quest to just stay still.

[@Golden_Raijin]

@@liastaob I wish we could get a video of him pursuing the achievement for doing that exact thing...

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

19:00 hey wait a minute, I get that reference! That moment was comedy gold I tells ya

[@CrowWithAKeyboard]

Nice to see Tom's observational skills and refusal to take unique character skills hasn't improved

[@C3R133RUZ]

I wish we could have a video of Tom explaining the characters and lore of hololive without him ever watching a stream.

[@TheKsalad]

If Tom can remember obscure warhammer lore he can easily learn vtuber lore

[@fosterbennington6405]

It all started with a man named Jimmy Holo…

[@Shy_Shaya]

So glad you're doing more content for Holocure! Also, on the level up screen, if you move right it opens a list of all the collabs you have currently unlocked!

[@PierceArner]

This is SUCH a helpful tool. Even knowing the game pretty well, seeing the weapons you have highlighted in that menu makes everything way easier.

[@susans5313]

when Tom started talking about how the thrown sword "oneshots" enemies, it reminded me of how zylus gets made fun of for the TTT boomerang, despite it being the exact same thing essentially :D

[@Gortef]

Instant like.... and I wonder if Tom would think different about Ollies "laser beam" ability if he knew what is the reference....

[@NetAnon]

The "charge rifle" if you will.

[@fosterbennington6405]

I completely forgot that non-suisei-related piss was a thing

[@MPPDarkness]

The new holoID's lore so good lol, love it.. Tom should make lorehammer or yourhammer video about hololive. Also, happy that holocure is back!!

[@pork4454]

Every time Tom does a Holocure video its like staring directly at a flashbang as its going off.

[@TheOnlyOrk]

He's so confused I love it

[@ThatPsdude]

12:52 I love how underwhelmed Tom was about the power until it unloaded LOL XD

[@umbralumbreon7380]

He’s back in the Rabbit Hole. Wild.

[@TheKd8lvt]

My absolute favorite thing about these videos as a fan of Holopro is how Tom has the exact same in-depth knowledge of Holopro as my parents and, unlike them, loves to share his vast and unending knowledge with the world. Chippy the Chipmunk is my favorite ID mascot, and I appreciate that Tom knows her name (as not many do) and chose to share it with a wider audience. There may be people out there who find Tom's eagerness to share his knowledge cringe-worthy, but I choose to believe those people are simply jealous that they don't share Tom's infinite spring of knowledge and unadulterated passion for all things Holopro. I can't wait to meet Tom at 'fes next year, it was a shame he had to miss it this time around!

[@rirtunsasgi2626]

love this, there are actually a few hololive members that are fans of the yogs one referenced diggy diggy hole a few days ago.

[@iOnZ_]

Which one was that? I feel like the stereotypical answer would be Kaela, but realistically it's probably one of the EN girls

[@rirtunsasgi2626]

@@iOnZ_ Rissa sang a little bit of diggy diggy hole a few days ago, and Fauna has mentioned watching the yogscast before.

[@glockenspeal]

@@rirtunsasgi2626 knowing diggy diggy hole doesn't automatically mean yognaught these days, ever since windrose did the cover it's been meme'd beyond the source

[@rirtunsasgi2626]

@@glockenspeal sound like she was doing the original off the cuff joke one not the actual song version.

[@WorldsTallestLeprechaun]

Something that’s kinda funny and a little “Aww…” is in regards to Ollie’s special attack. It’s based on the “charge rifle” weapon from the game Apex Legends, which is apparently Ollie’s favorite weapon in that game. HOWEVER, at some point, Apex did an update where they nerfed the charge rifle and Ollie was really bummed about it. Full-on “Look what they did…they massacred my boy.” bummed out, Then she played Holocure when it got put on Steam, found out her special attack is the charge rifle as it was before that nerf, and she basically broke down crying from happiness during the stream.

[@R3_dacted0]

Ollie's laser is actually pretty good. The second beam gets stronger depending on how many enemies the first beam hits.

[@originalpleb]

we're all raging at toms aggressive blindness to pick ups right??

[@TheBreadthatcausedLesMis]

I've never seen anyone not take the greed stamp.

[@PierceArner]

Especially someone who loves _goooooooooold._

[@Cephalon_inviss]

me when doing a stage run that not use risu.

[@anothenblue2630]

It's a waste of a slot on most characters unless you have a multihit main weapon that can trigger it often (e.g. Irys, Mumei, Amelia), S. Super Chatto Time or skills based on coins. I'd rather get the usual Haste + Size + Mark combination in every other situation because they ensure survival directly.

[@Eeraschyyr]

I've plenty of coin, so it tends to take up a slot I can use for something else. Marked, bomb, slow means I'm able to consistently damage bosses regardless of who's being directly hit, and clear mooks so I don't get trapped.

[@OmikronTitan]

9:10 Oh god, he finally noticed it. Indicator on screen pointing at it since it dropped five minutes earlier.

[@Viprus]

14:56 "It's a one-shot if it hits you twice!"

[@Rhizix]

Aaayyy, holocure is back!

[@hyperpirate357]

It's a shame Tom doesn't read. Anya's slumber skill let's him do his favorite thing. It's really good for standing still and surviving

[@AndrewJing-wp3vq]

Tom love ur channel! Hilariously I’m pretty sure the crawly bois ARE spam on top of rice. It’s a whole thing, called musubi in Japan.

[@wrathisme4693]

*I absolutely love when two unrelated interests meet like this*

[@PierceArner]

It's the best

[@Urtag]

Finally holocure makes its return here.

[@Pillowfish]

BAM and we're back! Love watching you play this Tom!

[@meursaulty6672]

Man i will definitely be stealing that. Bullet Heaven is such a good name for this genre.

[@canofwhoopass7572]

This was super awesome to see again! i hope you play it more!

[@yomifishery]

Ollie’s sword is a one-shot if it hits twice.

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

Nice job with Ollie! Some really clutch saves with the Undead plus the Dragon's Breath at the end.

[@alexanderjamesaustin]

hurray! tom finally plays holocure again!

[@unnaturallynatural8885]

finally, REAL content

[@MizuhoChan]

I've not used Ollie yet, so nice to see her played. Also, her name is pronounced like crazy. Because she's crazy. I guess in english, you'd maybe say it like couragey. Honestly though, I just like playing in the holohouse, got me a golden rod. Bae is my favourite to play as though.

[@happyhatebot]

I actually re-started playing again after it got on Steam myself, so seeing Tom back in it again makes me happy. Mostly because we know *just* as much about HoloLive! ...I've become more of a PhaseConnect or indie fan, most of which I blame on KZbin Shorts doomscrolling. Just goes to show how well the mechanics/etc. of the game work to have the same kind of draw for people who don't know buggerall about what's going on!

[@MMA-SirOwlbie]

m o r e! This is definitely one of the best Survivals-like currently out there in the genre (probably on par with Vampire Survivors, if honestly not BETTER because this one has so much more replayability and just way more content to keep it fresh) and watching Tom play this game is such a treat.

[@noah.2B]

YAAAAAy Holocure!!!! ^^ Love that you've come back to this game :D btw The first character you picked, Anya, one of her abilities "Slumber" lets you do your favorite 'holding still' tech! Healing, slows all enemies, makes you take less damage, slowly makes you deal less damage. Very strong!

[@PierceArner]

Something to note on this game - _it'll ALWAYS be 100% free._ The lead developer Kay Yu _was_ contacted by HoloLive and offered ways to monetize it, but Kay Yu declined to keep it solely as a passion project, and everyone involved has a full-time job. They're so committed to this and not using HoloCure to self-promote, you'll note that by choice - *Kay Yu also doesn't have their name in the credits **_at all._* I can't say enough good things about the project and everyone working on it. It's just insanely fun and there's _SO MUCH CONTENT._

[@PierceArner]

Also: Eufrik has all their music from *_HoloCure_* uploaded to their KZbin channel a week after any new release. If you need to jam to it outside of the game, that's where to check it out and also let them know how much you enjoy it!!

[@Road_to_Dawn]

I knew Kay Yu didn’t want to get paid for it, but I never knew Cover actually offered monetization options that Kay Yu turned down! That’s amazing.

[@PierceArner]

@@Road_to_Dawn Yeah, it blew my mind when I first heard about it. I'm just glad that it allows the project to keep being what it is on its own terms.

[@FalseCredential]

Yelling at my screen as Tom continues to not pick up the thing

[@ratchetqwark89]

lol i love the explosions cutaways!

[@jettcarpenter6256]

Very happy to see Holocure back on the channel! Here's hoping for more of it in future!

[@tadhgtwo]

Was only thinking it had been an age since Tom played Holocure and told us the deep, rich lore of the setting.

[@RedElectrik]

Lmao Tom putting cool edits on the piss gun

[@Eenkognito]

You should check out the holohouse, but also achievements is worth checking to see how to unlock new stuff like weapons and whatnot.

[@Enigma457]

Somewhat ironically, Tom's is some of my favourite Holocure content!

[@patrickbohn5235]

Hype! Been loving the new update! HoloHouse is such a weird addition to a VS style game but it works!

[@PierceArner]

It is _oddly_ satisfying, even as someone who's not overly into those Animal-Crossing-type games.

[@oddglorfindel1106]

Love your videos man just started playing this game recently and loving it, also binge watched your videos on it, so glad there's more! ;^)

[@Daesvail]

Here I was yesterday thinking I should comment and say Tom should play this now that it’s on steam and had a big update! BAM, here it is!

[@Raida7]

Great job knowing/intuiting the combinations

[@kezmsfilms1300]

Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1368 WOOOO so good to see a return of Holocure as damn, it's been too long. And wow, such changes and updates since last time, very exciting :D been a while since I've played too and now I really must get back to it ha ha. Also with it being on Steam now is very cool, helps when updating the game too ha ha. I do wonder how you can transfer data as I see Tom's has been, so I do hope I too can do that. Going to be honest, for the longest time I thought that character was a Robot, not a Zombie ha ha. I tell you though, her undead power is very cool and really adds a new level to tue game :D I am looking forward to even more :D especially since I rely on Tom for my lore knowledge :D

[@PierceArner]

Man, the 0.6 update is amazing. You'll have an absolute _blast_ with it, and the Steam release is mega helpful for keeping it up-to-date for the future.

[@kezmsfilms1300]

Hell ye :D

[@Road_to_Dawn]

At least there is a robot character in the form of Roboco! She’s one of my favorites to use, but Ollie is my number 1 favorite. The Undead skill is super useful, Simp of All Time is great for speed buffs, and Zombie Ninjutsu has so many uses, it’s such an incredible skill.

[@RedElectrik]

One day I hope some of the holo girls notice this fantastic mans interpretation of this game

[@TheUglyFish]

New update November 15th! :)

[@Pratalax]

Yaaaaay, and all the save data just hops across too! looks like i'm not going outside for a while

[@skyhunternjms]

Yes thats what i have been waiting for Angory!!!!!!

[@leemon2677]

Do my eyes deceive me? A new Holocure video?! THANK YOU TOM! Something about this game itches a scratch for me

[@weebonamountain3700]

Who is going to tell Tom the truth behind Ollies laser attack?

[@phoenixtalon100]

What an excellent video! You could do with going for the skills a little more, they're always useful - and there's also a whole new section to this game called holo house, hope you enjoy this game more!

[@Kicksticks]

Love to see you playing this again!!

[@OrangeDog20]

It's time to play How Long Can Tom Ignore A Pickup!

[@OrangeDog20]

Four minutes!

[@HerculePyro]

We need tom to take character skills

[@ScyBlade]

Some details one the ID girls: Iofi is an alien, so her fans are aliens. Moona is a fusion of a mortal and a Moon Goddess. Her fans are penguins (I could be wrong). The Stolen Piggybank doesn't show up for her. Instead she gets the Retrieved Piggybank. Risu is a fusion between a Witch and a Squirrel. Her stealing Moona's Piggybank is why there s a Stolen Piggybank Item in the game. Kureiji Ollie is a Crazy Zombie, so her fans are zombies. Kureiji is pronounced like Crazy, hence why she has such crazy skills. Among actual references to her streams, of course. Cutting Board is stronger on her. Anya is a Keris (a type of knife) given the intelligence and form of a small female. Logically, her fans are knives. Also, like every ID girl, her words are sharp. Her Slumber skill is because she likes to sleep, and is very good at slowing enemies and recovering her health. Lastly, she is the other ID girl that strengthens Cutting Board. Pavolia Reine is a peafowl who references peacocks, so her fans also take the form of peacocks. Zeta is a secret agent. I'm kinda drawing a blank on what her fans are. Kobo is a rain shaman, and has clouds for her fans. Kaela is a blacksmith, and keeps getting told that she is a penguin. I think her fans are also penguins. The Blacksmith's Gear is hers.

[@Road_to_Dawn]

Small correction, Kobo is the other ID girl who gets a cutting board buff, not Anya

Hot dog baby, it’s back!

[@pufnbal1744]

Awesome! I also think tom would love the holo house area in this game. It's not a battlefield and you can choose it from the menu. It offers much nice stuff! also love to see his reaction to each hololive Idol and what they do! Can't wait till he uses Sana. Such a good tanker character! Or a huge crit character like Bae!

[@Chessrook44]

Now for him to jump back in and find the Holohouse and the FISHING minigame.

[@ColossusOfChodes]

I hope you keep playing until you can try Stage 3 (Hard), I feel like they really outdid themselves with that stage.

[@oddforoddssake3751]

Oh! I was just rewatching your Holocure vids a couple hours ago 😂

[@Gakusangi]

I hope he later figured out that using the anvils to rapidly increase low level weapons for free is better than over-buffing stuff that's already maxed out. I was waiting for him to remember Ollie's chakara abilities XD

[@ReunionMana]

Tom, play as yuzuki choco! She's the lady "Nurse's Horn" comes from and has a bunch of abilities which compliment it really well!
