They Always Run - Cyborg Bounty Hunting Space Western

[@derekdrake8706]

Gotta love how 99% of my Steam Library is single-player games and Steam recommendations is still like.. "Play one of these 12 MMO's maybe?" That's why I watch this channel.

[@1MegaBubble]

Stream thinks you're lonely and is concerned about your social well-being

[@derekdrake8706]

@@1MegaBubble Definitely lonely but I have an average ping time of 600ms (That's on a good day. On a bad day it can get as high as 6000ms) So online games aren't really an option.

[@1MegaBubble]

Ouch. Yeah... sorry to hear that

MMO'S are garbage lol. 100% agree as Steam does the same for me.

This was definitely an animators passion project, god those are some beautiful frames.

[@VndNvwYvvSvv]

If only there were more frames between them...

[@cytharion]

Just to give a bit more information on the game as I bought and paid it myself The game is about 5-8 hrs long, Unfortunately the game does end on a cliff hanger which I found a bit off putting. The platform elements can be a bit wonky at times. I've fallen through objects or missed jumps when I should of grabbed an edge. The developers are patching this. Some of the enemies can be rather annoying at times, you really need to prioritize which ones to go after first as you can get easily swarmed. The parry mechanic is pretty to pull off on melee combatants but its super hard to parry a ranged attacker, you almost have to be frame perfect (you need an upgrade for this) Speaking of upgrades you purchase them with the money you get from your bounties.

[@RSPCWM]

its looks great brother

[@changsiah2]

To be fair it's probably just have a sequel to that may or may not have

[@carlitosjuarez221]

I'll bet there will be an expansion pack

[@ardentglaive7954]

Splatt: "I'm a little bit ascared of heights dude. Like I'm not super ascared of heights, but like I'm a tiny bit ascared of heights." This is why he studied to become a Geologist not an Aerologist.

[@lordfluff2394]

I like how its the heights and not the murder that is why he won't be a bounty hunter

[@demonheim7967]

or a languaologist.

[@lechking941]

@@lordfluff2394 you would be surprised with how easy it can be to disconnect tge human element of the hunting of another, it's when you begian to think about the others does t get you. That's why I go personally if I was to be a bounty hunter is first alive, as than you got a source and if they value living they will speak on some deal, and often people pay for living subjects

[@michaelbroderick577]

Just finished this game. One of the best I've played in a long while. The story was great, and the gameplay is extremely solid, especially for an indie game. Thanks for the recommendation, SplatterCat! 😀

[@edwoodashton]

This is the funniest you've done yet... love it! Thanks for making me larf!

[@dogtato]

splat is so perceptive, he noticed the meter and everything. my hero!

[@dirpyturtle69]

Great video, thanks for showing the game off splat

[@elbonnybar]

the art work is great, and i like how smooth everything is right now. on a side note, the rat has a blue attack to get energy back, but seems to be only when he's on that annoying red shield, is just less hassle to ice him. it would be great if they had something like info on the main story for every criminal involved and you had to get them alive if you wanted to get that story, or maybe thye go secret stasth of goodies you can use to fuel your bounty hunting activities.... i mean there's good ideas that an be applied to this game.

[@DamsdelDrennon]

When gorgeous meets badass, simply awesome.

[@jmcave06]

Can I just say thanks. This was an unexpected hidden gem that I would have never found if not for Splattercat. Just finished the game and I desperately want more.

When you down attack, that's actually his third leg.

Surprising that this isn't made by Klei I mean it doesn't look like any of their games and the animations are great, so it fits into their portfolio

[@damiant4370]

this game looks neat, it is also in violation of the geneva convention with that red cross on the stimpacks :P

[@milesh3651]

Hope this game comes to consoles. God I hope so.

[@MaxDamageTV]

You do a good Billy Quiz-boy from Venture Bros impression.

[@pelyphin0]

The dead guy on the right at 23:30 has a really distinctive face. Is this a backer/gamer or someone by chance? Beautiful game, I kept rewinding/using slow motion to watch things play out. Your audio settings as always make it hard to pick out, but what comes through of the soundtrack sounds like it's probably great also.

[@tach5884]

There is always a throwable box near the snipers.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

the boss only had that one attack, so I assume that must have been parry-able? it looked weird though and my first instinct would have been to jump it, too. Did you go back and try and parry it?

[@MisterOcclusion]

Geez, your Jonathan is dead on for the Robot Chicken nerd. 👍

[@Aimad_99]

love this

[@DoomedPaladin]

Actively wonders about what comes after the level... Reaches the end of the level, and doesn't show us.

[@burlisbcn3193]

Very good game, I really enjoyed it. I hope it has DLCs or a version 2.

[@Greshgore]

I know it's meant to be a western aesthetic but the character design almost reminds me of Spawn, or maybe Hotsuma from Shinobi is more appropriate.

[@Wafelkowiec]

What's with the red ponchos and bounty hunters/outlaws? Reminds me about Sileas Greaves from Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.

[@mercai]

Ponchos are a trope coming from Western (probably from classic Spaghetti Western era). And red is a good color for contrast and visibility/readability, which is why quite a few games use that for red capes on protagonists etc.

[@TheAceFireChild]

It's a callback to the old westerns. Especially the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western era of cowboy films.

[@CodeJems]

Subbed for the indie games, celebrating for the collective bargaining comments

[@WhisperByte]

Reminds me of all the old Gameloft Assassin's Creed/PoP/Splinter Cell games on mobile phones (not smart phones)

[@rustbuster69]

[@endocann]

Nice video also wtf is a toseyroast?

[@Morhgoz]

There should be game where you ARE that Sidekick Hacker dude...

[@itzaleaf405]

22:00 Honestly in a lot of games like that there's *less* incentive to parry over a dodge. Especially in some souls-like games where dodging in *heavy* armor costs less stamina than a single parry... it's honestly stupid especially when there is a boss fight that basically FORCES you to use this mechanic that's basically *worthless* for the majority of the game.

[@aziris7257]

Looks like a good game. Too bad not the kind of games I'd play. Not saying that it's a bad game, I simply don't have the reflex for these games anymore. Just getting the jump timing right and failing most of them would make me hyperventilate. But the game looks good, kudos to the developer.
