🤔 NEW HERE? 🤔
Hi! My name is Christopher Odd and I’ve been playing video games on the internet for a few years. I really enjoy a variety of games but generally lean towards games with a unique and engaging story (Bioshock, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us etc), strategy/roguelike games (XCOM 2 War of the Chosen, Darkest Dungeon, etc), and RPGs (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Dragon Age, etc). Of course, I am always looking for great indie games too!

Can I get some love for the thumbnails? I'm pretty sure they're the coolest ones I've ever done. That is all. In case I didn't mention in the video, Daedelic is awesome and are sponsoring the series. So check out Capes mmmk

[@grimfoxshadowfang7527]

you can have some love for the thumbnails❤

[@LucklessLovelocks]

The AI thumbnails were better.

[@ChristopherOdd]

@@LucklessLovelocks 😂 bro

[@exequielgaleano9947]

@@LucklessLovelocks This one totally made me laugh! Attitudes only friends have. 🤣 Loving everything from this series and he thumbnails are also a part of it!!! Really cool that you do them yourself, Odd! Also great that you like the work you do on them! 🙌

[@evilbob840]

I've definitely noticed the thumbnails. The various parts coming in front of and behind the cutouts is a really nice touch.

[@Wizard_Level_1]

You really seem to struggle with Mindfire and underestimate how much damage he can do. With Vulnerable he's doing 3 damage each attack, with Focus and Vulnerable he can do 6 damage to a single target each turn. During the mission "Which Way the Wind Blows, If you vulnerable a Brawler, attack twice, and have an ally finish the Brawler off you could charge 3 of his ult pips in a single turn and have taken out a dangerous target. He can also take out Thugs entirely on his own. Allies also do extra damage to Vulnderable targets! Shield shard could be great for Mindfire because he can focus almost entirely on damage without having to worry about movement. You really get the teleporter, you took out an entire group with her! This is a great game, looking forward to playing it myself. It's what I wished an X-Men game could be.

[@Dragoninja26]

At the end as you once again read Facet's growth upgrade option I realised: with Weathervane's positioning abilities you're gonna have quite a bit more opportunities to push people into growth's now, might start becoming worth it to pick that up

[@jankodes197]

This reminds me of X-Com Chimera squad - each teammate has special model and backstory, short missions, ...

[@RyanEX2000]

Wasn't really a fan of Chimera Squad. From the story to the characters. So far this doesn't feel like that. Hell I'm getting major The Dark Knight Returns vibes from Doctrine's interactions with Cruxus.

[@KevinShriner]

5:49 I initially thought shredder rocket from your heavy.. Heh, binging both playthroughs and got confused 😉 Thanks for the entertainment Odd!

[@kolosmenus]

31:30 You could've put the growth to block the enemies too, but I guess it worked out anyway

[@Gufnorkian]

I really love how many tactical options you have in this game and how the supers are designed to combo well with each other, not just with the combo skills but with how their skills interact with the skills of other supers.

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

Good play man, good play. That taunt and run strategy worked like a charm :D

[@mrman1088]

What a great episode that once again proves that when it comes to tactics Odd is the best (on the second try)

[@erickumar1174]

Been loving this series so far! Seems like a great game so far.

[@DWill2022]

Finally I can get my freedom force fix. I will probably play this game forever

[@xtwixxbydesign]

MOORE CAPES! went ahead and added the game to my steam wish list.

[@kabukikanji2458]

i really like you playing this game dude. subed and waiting for more.

[@reav3rtm]

It's like The Boys without copyright infringement.

[@cmike123]

I said it last vid and I'll say it again. You shouldnt keep moving your team out of team-up range, fam... You are making your life much harder.

[@IAmDollop]

I think you really need to utilise Mindfire’s vulnerability more. 50% is big in a game with small numbers. You could easily be taking people out much quicker and with less actions. You could use focus and put vulnerable on multiple people, like the brutes to take them out much quicker.

[@devonvanderwesthuizen9509]

"Not the vibe" made me chuckle. Love the series

[@jamiecooper14]

That was one hell of a second attempt. Well played, man, well played.

[@cardamone37]

Long time viewer, first time commenter. Love the content! Not trying to backseat here but i think you could have used growth next to yourself so you can't be pounded on by 3-4 guys. Just a thought. ❤

[@StylishJedi]

You can’t believe you pulled this off? Your insistent clicking, checking every option on every character 19 times to make one move? Yeah… you’re so much fun to watch 😂

[@RichieDcik]

You need to remember that death is the best cc in any game

[@extinctioneventgaming]

Gotta love some bonuses

[@gri22lybear]

Looks soooo GOOD! 😊

[@hunterseefried936]

Over halfwayinto the video and you are criminally underusing Mindfire - his core strength is to take 3 actions: vulnerable then two attacks, with one of them buffed by being near Facet. And since vulnerable affects teammate damage too, you should always delay the other teammates to have Mindfire go first.

[@mateuszslepuchow8892]

I like this game. Especialy Facet because it means MEN in Polish where i live.

[@herotalib9556]

Loving this game. Sadly seems like the replay on it might be bad though. This is why I love XCom since you can get different squads etc every-time so game-play is different. Same thing on Marvel Midnight Sun. Not alot of replay value.

[@Jimmys_TheBestCop]

Does every game need replay value though

[@herotalib9556]

@Jimmys_TheBestCop no but it's a plus. Also when you watch kinda spoils it more for a game with no replay value (that's my own fault though)

[@Jimmys_TheBestCop]

@@herotalib9556 personally I don't care about replay value at all in a tactical combat game

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

@@Jimmys_TheBestCopI think not having replay value should cut a huge chunk of the price tag off though. A game that you only get

[@jaywerner8415]

Would be nice if Facets CRYSTALIZE acted as a Second HP Bar or ARMOR that gets worn down over time. Cus i can't help but feel he is not as TANKY as one would expect him to be. Admittedly 2 of those guys that punched him do ONE DAMAGE instead of 0.5 damage so that doesn't help ether. Also.... Fade's normal attack also has 5 range, not just her spin attack.

[@shobhitkaul8076]

Thumbnails are crisp

[@yokuboutozetsubou]

uggghhh I wanna play it so badly, I would have done everything different lol. I literally couldnt watch until the end because you made a "wrong move" and I cleared the stage in my mind. great way to sell the game i guess 😭❤

[@bralius]

A question was eating away at me while watching: can you use vulnerable on 2 targets with focus, then teleport spin for 2 ult charges in one shot?

[@alexanderdevyatkin5109]

"Heart wants what it wants" - that said Rebound's ex!... -_- Hmmm...

[@Kildain717]

Couldn’t you use Growth with Faceit and then again with Mind to make an actual wall?

[@rafraf2064]

Will you play unicorn overlord mr ChristopherOdd ?

[@OnlineKenji]

About 23 mins in when writing this. Hopefully, maybe on the 3rd attempt, you realize that you must kill 2-3 enemies per round minimum. Also, that focusing the counter guys with your ranged character is a must top priority. Any actions not spent on directly removing an enemy from the field is probably a wasted one.

[@sanfte_briese833]

No ! don't STOP >

[@BroadMeadowLuck2]

Yahoo!!!

[@gurugeorge]

Seems like the tactical combat is quite interesting, with lots of options to juggle, especially with the team abilities. The rest of it's a bit cringe and cliche, though I suppose it's comic-booky enough and endurable for the sake of the tactical game (and sometimes some of the character comments and bits of the dialogue can be quite amusing).

[@RabidHobbit]

Yeah, this setting and presentation is bouncing off me hard (and I like comics), but the gameplay looks so good I think I'm going to get it anyway. I think I will turn off all VO and just read the text, assuming I won't be able to switch languges.

[@BikerwolFF]

Don't...stop...the...Bloops...

[@argelfraster2]

I have very mixed feelings about about xcom likes that are more like puzzle games. Everytime you were like this is a redo I felt a little pain. I know it’s essentially how this is meant to be played but without a failure state with progression it’s just a puzzle. I want to like the game but I think it’s not for me.

[@nicholasbruechert5570]

I think you have been overly trained to not do stuff before you move. 29 min mark that turn was real bad.

[@banaroklionrage9536]

this give me serious backseating-ities, so don't know how much of this content i can actually bear to watch, but the game does look neat.

[@biggusdickus4952]

🎉

[@limo_was_here]

remember that the vulnarability isn't just for mindfires damage, it also works for the others

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

yeah that's how he charges his ultimate, by also having others attack his vulnerable targets doesn't he?

[@PrprPpprPrdctns]

Chris, pls start using vulnerable with other capes able to attack the target later in the round. You mentioned this last episode, but are yet to do so. 😊

[@alexanderdevyatkin5109]

And remember, that Shield Shard can be cast upon Facet itself!

[@Dragoninja26]

writing as first combat is starting: love the villain's attitude/personality, he's the great fun kind of insane, so open about everything, believing the goons are not gonna do anything but are needed for the "rhythm"

[@TheRawrnstuff]

4:18 "It's cool how they dynamically move the little... this thing." I'm 90% sure the "point" on a speech bubble is called "a tail".

[@TheBestPirateDrake]

I know this writing is cringe but I don’t mind it, it’s cheesy superhero cliches with teenage energy and b movie vibe. It’s not perfect but it kind of fit the game for some reason.

[@allanpeter7700]

Personally I think you could use teamwork more to get a slight boost in damage, and utilize vulnerable with back stab more. Also you could do shield shard on an ally to have them lock down one enemy instead of having faucet tank everything, and you get the idea of using growth to block enemies or locking down another enemy.

[@TevorTheThird]

Just noticed that two out of three of our team here have chain wallets. That is both a high ratio and extremely funny 👍

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

it sucks how you can't have the teleporting girl go on the tall places like it taught you on the stealth mission always weird when a game shows mechanics that are exclusive to some missions and can't be repeated anywhere else

[@exequielgaleano9947]

I'm also having a super time with the series about supers! When I heard it at the end of the video it was too funny not to comment it that way, but I'm dead serious. If this mission is a taste of the difficulty ramp-up then we're here for a very intense ride already. Which is nothing but absolutly awesome, so mayor thanks for this series, Odd!!!! 😁

[@cidolfas86]

Loving the intensity of this game - there is no messing about here is there. Awesome! :)

[@Rawmon94]

Odd, i think if you can delay you should play mindfire always first to apply debuffs, before you use the other two

[@RyanEX2000]

Bit of a tip. You can avoid all the running around by quickly moving into the corner to your bottom left. Use Growth every turn to funnel the enemies into the path you want while using Focus to repeatedly hit them with Mindfire and Rebound. Mindfire's an absolute beast if you abuse his teamup with Rebound to get into position which'll allow him to use Focus every turn for big damage. At the end I never got to use Facet's ult since he hardly took damage (a low hp enemy got in front of him and blocked any of the big guys. So I just left him there) and used Rebound's twice. Hope this isn't a case of the game giving you your most useful heroes at the start so you feel no inclination to use the others later on.

[@VisciousPhishes]

At first I was kind of confused by the cartoonish art style and the degree of violence in Rebound's attacks. After you stepped in to this mission i understand the art style isn't necessarily going to inform on the story line.

[@jorgehellmer2668]

I would love to try this game. But these videos make it seem like each mission will take an hour plus. And they are exhausting.

[@javiernovoa8756]

The comic book name for the dynamic text boxes is word balloons.

[@thatguycaz]

Cant wait to get my hands on it

[@wjwoodget01]

How long is this series going to go on for? Because I want it to never stop!!! Keep it up Odd!

[@vikkiwax4992]

I am so into Capes that I actually want to play video games myself again

[@infernodelta70]

One thing I will say, I love the writing here. So much good comic book writing here!

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

it's infantile, to say the least

[@Isometrix116]

I'm glad you're able to enjoy it. For me, it undercuts the cool concepts and interesting mechanics. I want to like it, I just... can't. This isn't meant to be an insult btw, I'm seriously glad you enjoy the writing and I am seriously jealous that you are able to.

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

@@Isometrix116 seems to be easily skippable at least, unlike midnight suns where you had to actually play the shitty parts outside of combat I'll play this game despite the infantile dialogues, try to enjoy them as much as I can and then just skip it when I can't stand it anymore sounds like a good option

[@ShadowoftheMask]
