When The Roguelike Lets You CREATE Your Weapon

[@Skooch]

METRIC EMPIRE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE ME EXTRA CODES TO GIVEAWAY! ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS FOLLOW THIS TWEET: x.com/SkoochLoL/status/1864440647241093483

[@lulacatt873]

Weapon customization is exactly why noita is my favorite roguelike ever.

[@dustyoldrowe]

I should give Noite a second chance, I played for less then half an hour, didn't like it very much and refunded it lol

[@eagan_1902]

Agreed homeslice would go to town And also take like 10 tries to get the standard ending

[@eagan_1902]

​@@dustyoldrowe The game is nearly endless and choc full of secrets that are too complicated so most people use the wiki or a video like how people do COD easter eggs

[@lupeters213]

Magicraft - Noita meets Binding of Isaac! Highly recommended!

[@eagan_1902]

@lupeters213 I think he already made a video on that

[@brandonatherton]

Honestly, this looks fire. And I love that it seems like the bosses are very thoughtfully designed, so that they have real difficulty, and not just some bs moves and/or insane damage. This is definitely one worth giving a try.

[@AhmettheGoomba]

looks fire more is fire (bcuz theres fire in la and skooch lives in la)

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

Battle Shapers is great, I really enjoy secret hunting for unlocks and the core that gives you a claw is by far my favourite. This game to me kinda feels like Megaman if it were an fps. I don't think it's a very hard game tho.

[@Zentafix]

You have to try a Roguleike called "Magica". Its a game where you build your wands with your own spell combination - so you can have stuff like a BLACK HOLE shooting lasers at all enemies in the room. Its insanely fun and decently challenging. Been really loving it lately, got already 100 hours playgime in just 1 week

[@CiromBreeze]

... Man, they picked a really unfortunate name given that there's a popular (albeit old) series called "Magicka", initially made by the same people behind the Helldivers games. All of my searches ended up with Magicka, so even with this comment I couldn't find the game.

[@storma8023]

Ever play Noita? Imo the absolute best roguelike out there, by a landslide. Building your own wands, progressing down levels to get to the boss....and that isn't even the tip of the iceberg of content and secrets in that game. Try make a video on the secrets and gameplay and you'll be there for 10 hours minimum trying to explain all the points.

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

Now that is a name I haven't heard for years

[@thyagoaugusto1273]

dude, he already has a video on it :D

[@Zentafix]

@storma8023 take Noita concept. Put it on Binding of Isaac. Be able to actually *build* not just pick up and be stuck with it. Thats Magicraft

[@awesome19ssbb]

17:39 yep pretty much sums up dead cells and windblown

[@CrezetheousVP]

I love those games sooooo much

[@kingkomodo3463]

Finished my first run and celebrated and my friend sadly told me it isn’t done and showed me what a boss cell run really is

[@awesome19ssbb]

@ welcome to hell buddy and i wish ya luck

[@filippotaggi8325]

Man if you like this You should try mothergunship It has the same gun Building mecanic but It brings It to the Extreme

[@vizor4067]

Play Witchfire, I don't see that many first-person Roguelikes(-lite) often and Witchfire is definitely one of the most polished ones out there.

[@lmarshall4933]

witchfires sooooo good, especially after the recent updatw

[@jared4552]

Just dropped 45 hours over Christmas. Absolutely great game, excited for its future.

[@MillieMuncher360]

Tower of guns is fantastic when you get familiar with the enemies, mechanics, unlock and few better starting guns and understand how the secrets work.

[@mandragorius9637]

Sometimes I feel like we need to split rougelikes in halve The 'every run is different because you get small augments in numbers/effects and equipment' Or 'The binding of isaac/noita/magic raft style, where 2 items can make the difference between objectively being screwed and a possible godrun that change functionality entirely'

[@lightwolf7424]

One of the coolest roguelikes I tried so far as a fellow roguelike addict is Diceomancer, seems like a Slay the Spire knockoff but dang it's so good and adds some very interesting complexity, while the main gimmick of being able to reroll *ANY* number on screen allows insane combos. Only issue for me is it's on the tad easy side but still incredibly enjoyable, also ascension levels fix that complaint Would really like seeing you attempt a 3 run challenge!

[@trickytactician]

Man this game is so good, I already got a solid 15 hours in before the corruption update came out. And skooch if you want a really fun build that feels phenomenal to play. Theres a core that gives you a groundpound, pair that with a grenade that groundpounds with vibro shockwaves and an upgrade core that reduces cooldown for on of them when you use the other and you just chain a ton of groundpounds it just feels incredible

[@UrBeststFriend]

Hey Skooch, just wanted to say thx for the recommendation, i'm a huge rougelike fan myself and caved in and bought this a view days after you unloaded this video. I've already sunk 14 hours into it over the past week and just got my 1st run clear on my 7th attempt (3rd attempt against verOS) and practically jumped out of my chair screaming "let's go". My favorite core is the wind core (for the ranged punch kills and knock backs), favorite weapon is the vibro kunai (big reason i won that run, had them firing every element near constant with mods and the no reloading and innate chaining is just too good), and favorite ability is the flame bees (getting the mod where its cd is reduced 20% when an enemy dies and gaining 1 shield anytime it hurts someone, with its own passive of when its target dies it seeks out a new enemy and refreshes its duration meant i could usually have like 4-5 of them constantly dropping shields for me at a time really helped keeping me alive). Anyway thanks again for bringing this game to my attention, i'm gonna start grinding my way up to omega level and actually kill verOS for real.

[@svenabel2987]

Skooch, Windette and Yakko are doing everything in their power to keep my Steam wishlist topped off

[@cardboardleaf7971]

wimdy mention :D

[@EepyAmico]

Gotta give this game a try as a fellow rogue like guy. My own rogue like recommendation is Ravenswatch it has a dark fantasy storybook aesthetic and it has been made co-op in mind

[@CassiusKent]

"The Avatar of Robot Gun Violence." Should be a box quote.

[@elkinvargas6481]

Watching this instead of writing my English scene

[@VertiDOOM]

0:11 SKUL HOLY BALLS ITS THE BEST ROGUELIKE EVER

[@kelldaking5043]

No

[@VertiDOOM]

@ yed

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

I love how half the comments mention Noita because it basically does what's in the title 10 times better. Also Skooch saying this roguelike is incredibly hard makes me wonder how it compares to Spelunky 2. Still haven't beaten the final world in that game.

[@The_fusion_physics_guy]

dang that looks fun, for real, good to see you again skooch haven't gotten recommended you in a while! Hope things are good, channel looks solid!

[@HazzCraft]

Mother gunship for vr is the goated gun making roguelike

[@bryson5950]

also available for console and PC too, it's just a normal fps, awesome customize in that game though

[@michealtheevilhero2340]

This game reminds me a lot of Mothergunship

[@oliverholm3973]

Godstone isn't done yet, it's still only a demo, but I really enjoy it. It's a little more narrative than most roguelikes, which I can appreciate. Skul The Hero Slayer is probably the closest comparison that comes to mind.

[@uriahbrandenburg]

Mother gunship is an amazing game that lets you build your own weapons, and has great humor

[@Ant-jr8ty]

I had this exact idea like 2 years ago. I regretti not making it. It was going to be a 2d platformer where you could put guns together with parts you find in levels. Each part changes how the gun works with 2 base types. Also melee weapons, but I didn't know what I was gonna do with that. For example however you could slap on an attachment to a laser pistol and it becomes a 1 handed laser shotgun.

[@EternalArctic]

I never exoect3d to hear zentaro’s theme in a skooch video. Big win for me

[@fittest_]

Oh god I don’t usually spend money on stuff like this but you’ve convinced me

[@LoneSkag]

The fact that gearbox didn’t experiment with this suprises me

[@thomasbriggs5452]

Thanks for the recommendation always enjoy a challenging rougelike

[@nessdragon]

This looks absolutely sick. Megaman as a FPS Roguelike is a concept that just tickles all the dopamine centers of my brain. And mechanically, it just looks like a better version of Roboquest, which is already a pretty dope game. Now that it's out of Early Access, I think I'll have to pick it up with my next paycheck. And it's bundled with a pretty cool-looking swashbuckling game called En Garde on Steam, so that's just pretty sweet all around.

[@thevampire100]

Hey Skooch, there is a roguelike I would like to see you play called Galactic Glitch. It's a twin stick shooter similiar to Asteroids with the difference that you can pick up and throw asteroids and smaller objects and throw them at enemies. This includes smaller enemies as well and even parts of bigger enemies that just get ripped out of their ship. It's really fun and many items in the game interact with the throwing mechanic like splitting thrown objects into multiple seeking missiles.

[@IndieGamingRoguelikes]

Man I really, really love your style. I kinda hate you for how good you are, people could start thinking these games are easy 🤣 You just did a +1 to my wishlist, I never heard of this game before but this seems incredible. Gotta try it! Congrats as always man! Hugs from Italy

[@xzifer]

i have had this game for a while now , i think its about time i played it lol

[@Game_Braker13]

I am waiting for the day this man finds Disfigure, the free to play rougelike

[@whendowedie7835]

Rouge like/rouge lites almost always includes modifying your weapon, binding of Issac just modifies your tears, Hades modifies whatever weapon you pick, risk of rain... Is weird but still technically modifies your weapon 🤷

[@Jjones5202]

Who would’ve guessed that Battle Shapers lets you shape battles?

[@TellerOfTheTales]

This game looks great! Reminds me of playing Mothergunship some while ago a bit somehow.

[@Tyr_Gas]

This is minuscule and random, but I feel like ‘vibe’ would definitely be a better name for the ‘vibro’ element/effect.

[@lucariofi]

so, that is a gunfire reborn but with more liberty

[@emeraldstag]

I'm still so happy I won this game off your giveaway on twitter dude. My brain is folding as I absorb what I can from this video.

[@sadly_koma]

Mother gunship forge vr is a brilliant gunsmith game

[@weirdentity4192]

try mothergunship, similar to this that released back in 2018

[@Thominouche]

the one i've been enjoying a lot this days is Ravenswatch

[@yuscilfer1429]

It's like the love child of Megaman and Borderlands.

[@Ashtarte3D]

Everything about this reminds me of RoboQuest, which is very much not a bad thing since that game is rad AF.

[@artekary5194]

Looks like Roboquest without coop but with the weapon customisation mechanic added

[@fluctuations23]

I don’t play a TON of ganes, but some of the ui and damage numbers look exactly like apex legends lol

[@NotMyUsername123]

I absolutely love games that let you take abilities away from one weapon, then add them to another. Finding a terrible gun with a super fun ability is the worst

[@lawrence9713]

never heard of this game, it looks awesome

[@fazljr9349]

This feels like a "megaman meets roguelike" kind of game.

[@mak00ileven]

"That was sooo ddifficult" bro you barely took anby damage. lool

[@thenathanbyrne7333]

It's confirmed. He is him.

[@Zel-Veraan]

I'll definitely be getting this. It looks like an awesome time!

[@guardiantko3220]

this just looks... exactly like mothergunship, wtf

[@flyingcat2491]

Skootch! you should try "Mothergunship" that game LITERALLY lets yo build your own guns. not perks. not stats. An actual gun-building mechanic! Enjoy!

[@angrycat3761]

You'll have to fight Yakko Semen for the title of "Rougelike Guy" .

[@noskalborg723]

Hutts is out there too

[@bubbanator3340]

9:00 are you kidding me dude? I've been playing roguelites since OG Isaac. Extra lives are KEY. I'm not gonna look down on you for that stuff.

[@saifmajali5099]

Have you tried enter the gungeon

[@Skooch]

When i lived in japan for a few months it was literally the only game i played. 10/10

[@TearThatRedFlagDown]

@@Skooch You should try Roboquest. It's really good.

[@fanficologist6621]

He speedran it along with Issac and Hades

[@The_Geni]

@@Skooch What about Mothergunship?

[@ItsJustRuru]

@@The_Genithe original is better to be honest, Tower of Guns, check it out, it’s the prequel to Mothergunship

[@ryanignites5923]

appreciate you calling it rogue-LIKE. Shits me to tears when I see and hear rogue-LITE. The whole genre stems from being LIKE the game rogue, from the 80s.

[@Killerjerick]

Different genres, Rogue-LITE implies you keep some of your progress when you die, the lite being the operator to say it's a "lite" version of the Roguelike genre.

[@ryanignites5923]

@@Killerjerick I hear you man but the industry does NOT know this lol

[@1124spawn]

GOAT CAME BACK WOOOO

[@briancaro196]

by the footage the game gives me some Doom Eternal vibes, and I'm interested.

[@jaden46]

You just explain the game better than the trailer

[@jaden46]

The phantom code it reminds me 9f the kings blood in that one 2d game

[@isiahaguilar]

Wouldve been funny if they did a hades last boss type of thing, the first time i beat hades, i wasnt prepared what came after because i took my hand of the keys HAHAHA

[@SnakeEyes327]

The looks like what I'd imagine what a proper MegaMan X FPS game would look like. I'm into it. So consider me sold.

[@joshjo9405]

It's definitely great, despite the fact that the game was on the SBI website.

[@kosog6584]

​​@@joshjo9405 I'm pretty sure they only worked on the dialogue in this game. It's perfectly fine and inoffensive. Not a single line felt off to me. Determining a game's quality based on what consultation company is dumb as hell.

[@joshjo9405]

@ Well, you never know. The Unknown 9 devs are kinda almost dead at this point, the Forspoken devs are just gone now, and the Hyper Light Breaker devs probably are in debt because of the fees they paid to SBI. Dunno if they worked with Firewalk Studios tho.

Thank you Mr. Roguelike. Congratulations on your name change from league of legends guy

[@e3.14c4]

ngl the title made me think this was a Mothergunship video

[@yokaithedumb]

im not sure if it counts as a rouge-like but i really enjoyed arcadegeddon

[@gnawnickvods939]

What borderlands wishes it was

[@bennie1079]

Ok so from what I can see in the early stage of the video, this game is just like when you were little and loved transformers more than anything, and you pretended that the transformers were fighting each other.

[@davidfajka7149]

This game is literally a look alike of Deadlink

[@SharpSevens]

Watched a guy names Gellot play this. If you have seen him play you would think hes a god at games. This is one of the vary few games where he doesn't use his rules of taking no damage but instead he uses no HP damage. If this guy is doing that then yes this game is going to be hard
