...i would rather questioning and blame the choice of the scythe - never a good deal to take recuring automatic dmg without equal benefit! (and no, high dmg per strike isn't equal, life steal that heals you much more than you get dmg'ed would be equal! - or having enemys get the same amount of dmg automaticly - but you srsly traded getting auto dmg for just an overpowered weapon you really don't need with all the dmg you already literally spit out! - but you rather blame the ghost that you accidentally took *friendly facepalm* (it's not like you decided to took that useless ghost, but you decided to take that scythe xP)

[@the_luckiest_charm]

One of the reasons this game is so good is that you can see all of your stats and know exactly what each item does. A lot of roguelites will give you items and buffs with completely esoteric descriptions, meaning you just have to guess what they do. In my opinion, that's what makes games like Brotato and vampire survivors so replayable. Not to mention, this game has a ton of cool mods and a very strong community.

[@thespiffingbrit]

Yeah by far this is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding roguelikes in the industry

[@limesta]

@@thespiffingbrit I am taking notes for the rougelite space game I am making, being intentionally exploitable is boring, but having emergent game-play opportunities will be ideal.

[@bearnaff9387]

@@limesta If you happen to be some kind of superhuman genius, this bullet-heaven/arena battler space needs something akin to the programmable weapon crafting from Bio-Prototype that doesn't immediately result in the player defeating everything the game can throw at them immediately upon spawn. B-P is neat, but I'm not sure that an experienced player is ever challenged in that game for more then 5 waves or so. The reason that I specified superhuman genius is that AFAICT any system that rewards forethought in weapons design will be exploitable for megadamage. If you can develop an open-ended weapon crafting system that works, the world will beat a path to your Steam page. Also, Spiff will find a way to exploit it anyway.

[@limesta]

@@bearnaff9387 I expect no less from this legend. Right now I've just about finished tuning all of the physics off stream, and now I'm getting into UX testing, before I go full ham into the weapons system. I agree though, it seems all rouge-lites esp bullet heavens that aren't RNG heavy are exploitable with some amount of forethought and a lick of luck, and to compensate, they add unique characters that just add a little spice in the early game, to inevitably be out crafted and overtaken with the same foresight used with the other characters.

Heyheyhey thats my exploit! Thanks for making a video on it, also glad to see it works on the PC version aswell. After some further testing: Stat linking items such as the red glove also work with this exploit. Even some uniques such as the extra stomach work. I had a run where i got 12 hp for every fruit i picked up while at max HP. Also this turns little elephant and cyber ball into the most broken items for they scale off luck, which you can boost into high heavens with dublicating the lucky coin using the exploit.

reminds me of a silly "fox trot" comic: the Father of the family, Roger Fox, is SUCH a lousy chess player, that even when Jason modded the game to give him 15 queens and the computer 15 pawns, Roger STILL lost! oh, that also reminds me of a Star Trek novel, "the final reflection", where they were playing a chess-like game in a weird style where there is only ONE set of pieces, nad players take turns moving the SAME set! so to win, you have to make the opponent "check" you, so that you capture the king on your turn!

[@stevenjenkins792]

I think the Brotato: Premium for mobile, which is based off the steam version has been patched as its not working, I think it could be due to it getting updated regularly with holiday events, as I also own the switch version, and that version doesn't have holiday events and it does indeed work

[@den_man1253]

The real exploit is how did you get a full set of the exact weapon you needed by wave 5? I always get stuck with garbage weapon choices.

[@thespiffingbrit]

harvesting provides extra revenue and is very powerful in the early waves to complete sets of common weapons.

[@jarzz3601]

there is a mechanic that makes getting the same weapon you already have more common so if you want a specific weapon don't pick up other weapons

[@valf3082]

The first two shops always provide 2 weapons each time you reroll. The game tends to offer you weapons you already have. So you should always focus on getting 6 weapons early game, and not buy items until the wave 3 shop.

[@syferpolski4344]

Weapons have a 50% chance to be of a weapon class you already have. Pruner only has the support class, so there was a 50% chance the weapons offered would be pruners. There are not that many support weapons - hand, potato thrower, pruner

it's crazy how much things would've escalated if he backed out from the game repeatedly early on and got the Piggy Bank (+20% of ur materials at the start of next wave until wave 20) and the Lucky Coin (+2 luck for each 1% perma crit chance increase). Later on, combined with items that give stats every round like Grind's Magic Leaf (+3 max hp, +1 hp regen + 1% lifesteal) and Vigilante Ring (+3% dmg), the game goes batshit crazy. Even on max difficulty u can absolutely kill it

[@elderfrost9892]

I'm pretty sure this only applied for specific things, a lot of those are just direct stat increases the exploit is for items from crates that actually spawn in different things/initiate new mechanics, as adding a turret or whatever isn't a stat that can be subtracted off

[@voidflames5257]
