This is the first rogue like game I've seen that REALLY reminds of the original Rogue (and later Hack) game experience. I fondly recall robbing many shopkeepers and trying to either kill them with richoeting wands in store, or digging my way out, then having to run for the border to escape them. Does this game have interactions between multiple items? For example in Hack there was a cursed ring of random teleport, but you could also find a ring of teleport control that allowed you to port anywhere you wanted to on a lvl.

I also like how they find something positive about many games. It’s not like they are lying or exaggerating, but they’re great at figuring out why each game might be appealing or what each brings to the art of video game creation. That’s generally my perspective on video games, so it’s nice to find a reviewer that isn’t so focused on deciding which games are “good” or “bad”.

Tips: 1-the game has five classes u need to unlock them by leveling up 2- if u can change controls, set both "walk" and "down" to the same button so its easier to grab into ledges 3-if u are one block above spikes u can grab into the ledge and go into them witouth diying 4-u can deactivate traps using things like crates, dead eye bats, arrows and more, for things like crates u need to use "down+interact" to grab them and use "attack" to trow them 5-u can cook dead rats and fish in the bornfire, u can do the same with chiken but they need to be alive 6-faries gives u healing bonus on bornfires, rescue them 7- u cant recive damage in the bornfire so if u have a chaos wand use them there 8-at the end of each leven there are treasure chests that u can open with the boss key 9-the 2nd level of each area has an extra exit door that brings u to a secret level/boss fight that grants better loot, u can open it using the boss key and the interact button 10-in coop try to have always an wizard in the team, they can enchant teammates weapons for more damage and reveal/combine potions to make everyone stronger and freeze/stun enemies 11-u can use the poison potion in ur weapons so they cause damage over time 12-use the traps/enemies to help u killing other enemies 13-if u stole items from the shopkeeper and he see u with it and u dont kill him he its going to follow you to the next level, its better to do it in late game 14-poison clouds + fire/lighting = boom 15-u can combine arrows and bombs to make exploding arrows, to use them u need to place them before the normal ones (from left to right on the inventory) 16-u can stole from the shopkeeper easier in coop, u need to enter the shop while him its going out then grab the items and tell someone (who isnt dead or isnt an skeleton) to go trouth the exit of the level while u stay there, do it before the shopkeeper notice it 17-i encourage all mage mains to use quick cast, u can set an spell to each directional and that way u can combo whit them stuning and freezing the enemy 18- to beat the dragon easier u can fight him underwater, and to kill the mushroom golem boss u can use fire/excavation wands or long range spells 19-dash spell +sword lvl 1 increases the damage of the attacks by a huge amount on the knight if u use them at the same time 20-if u use strong background on the houndmaster it gives u trow hard and when u grab an trow the dog u do mad damage 21-the "death becomes easier" increase ur damage by x10

I played this on PC with my friend a ways back. It's really fun and we even had some laughs. One of us would walk over a spot where rocks fall and the other gets crushed. The team play really is a big deal with this game. Many classes can be linked and work together super well. I'm thinking of picking it up however I've got a couple others I'm thinking about in February. I personally give it a 85% to 90% due to how much the team play adds. Someone can play a tank and another a mage and it really has a nice feel. I do love your recommendations on the channel though. You've driven me to some amazing games.

@@WitchDoctor87 Thanks. But do you think an average gamer can grind to max all the stats and weapons to max and can finish the game? The game keeps the upgrades to the stats and weapons permanent even if you died, right? That's my main concern. I don't want to buy a game that I can't finish. I'm patient though if I can only finish the game on max stats, that's fine with me. I hope maxing all stats and weapons make it easier.

This looks really cool. I must say tho in all honesty I'm getting burnt out on roguelike-lite games. It seems like these have become the norm at this point and traditional linear story games have become rare. The roguelike-lite aspect of the game can prolong the playtime and keep it interesting longer, but I would just prefer more start to finish narrative games again.
@TheWergugy
@TheWergugy 2 жыл бұрын
I'm starting to feel the same. When they first started coming out it was fresh and was easy to get right into. But now it just feels too repetitive and I don't feel as rewarded for progress. Also regardless of replayability I always stop playing them at some point, and it's usually out of boredom rather than completion...

@@TheWergugy Same for me. One of my favorite games from last year was Death's Door. That game easily could have been made into another roguelike-lite but I'm so glad they didn't. I'm sure I wouldn't have finished it had it been anything other than a traditional start to finish game.
@otooandoh9556
@otooandoh9556 2 жыл бұрын
@@TheWergugy I think the push for roguelike design comes from the general industry wide push for GaaS titles (Games As a Service). When you tend to look at the top sellers they tend to be games with high amounts of replay value (whether due to multiplayer or near endless amounts of single player content) and/or frequent updates/ dlc. At an indie level I feel the response has been to design more roguelike titles as they tend to have a longer shelf life on average that games that are one and done affairs. I do completely agree with you on there being too many roguelike games and that’s coming from a fan of the genre. I’m kinda burnt out on roguelike and largely just stick to the ones I’ve already bought
