วีดีโอ

Oh hey I actually played this one before. Best way I can describe it is it's boba. Idk how else to explain it 😂

damn,

Have you ever played the game Barony? It's a roguelike dungeon crawler with visuals that are simple but look amazing, lots of classes you can start with that add lots of variety in how you play, and wonderful co-op. The DLC for it also adds races to further increase variety in across runs, along with a new class made specifically for each race. The only thing that I would call an issue is that most of your runs will probably end in the first area of the game, the mines.

I’m personally not a huge fan of Hades. Yes, the writing is very strong, and I get that that is what draws in a lot of people. But as someone who loves roguelikes for their variety of gameplay, Hades just doesn’t cut it. Runs feel super same-y very quickly, and it lacks challenge unless you turn on nearly all of the pact, at which point it just becomes really stupid. Like 0 to 10 instantly.

I have 100% the game and beaten it on every difficulty… I need MOOOORE

I agree with the points in visuals and gameplay, and the whole point of it being early access. But I have to admit that I felt like I've seen most of the game as it currently stands... though again, early access HAHA. Definitely a game that has so so so much potential, and it is a fun time with friends and good company, so I think the early access already succeeded in gaining friction for itself! I am definitely keeping an eye out on its development, giving me a reason to drag my friends around causing chaos B) Unfortunately, I love Hades to bits, as it also might be personal bias, having played through Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades and even Hades 2. Their forte has always been telling a beautiful story and their narrative (over 20 thousand unique voice lines in Hades...), with Transistor still being hands down my top favourite game out of their collection.

Omg Mom, look I'm on TV! Game fun, everyone in this comment section should play it with a group :) This guy caught our broken ass run where it crashed on footage it's insane. Praise the Gobbling Fish, even if it crashes your run at times.

It sure isn't as visually accessible as Hades and I'll bet it's not as audibly accessible either (sound cues, stereo panning, etc.)

New video hype!

The devs have said they will rework the sudden death for coop, if you didnt hear

I love the vibe and feel of windblown so much. The definitely needs more of everything(weapons etc.) And a large amount of rebalancing, but that is what it is for early access. Hades, curse of the dead gods, ravenwatch, inkbound, backpack hero, gunfire reborn, and more were missing biomes, end games, charcters, weapons etc and they are all fantastic now.

despite the short comings i had with the game, I will admit it does have the potential to be a pretty good one and I'm hoping it ends up being the case. Its a very fun game to play with others!

Have you been able to play the demo of the incoming StarVaders? That seems like a promising Space-Invader-inspired deckbuilder!

As far as Roguelikes go, did you ever cover Zet Zillions? And is Immortal: And the Death that Follows on your radar?

I have about 260 runs on Astral Ascent, my favorite character is Octave and I'm beyond impressed with how fun this game is. This is my favorite roguelike and I've played over 10 roguelikes so far. The combat is insanely fun for a 2D game, the buffs are great, the music is FIRE, the lore is really interesting, the bosses are challenging and the builds are INSANE. Every update over the past year or two have been fantastic and they REALLY stay close to the fans in order to see what needs to be fixed, changed, buffed, nerfed, etc. This game deserves 10x the amount of purchases it has already. Even if you're not into 2D games, STILL try this game out because it will change your whole view on 2D games in general. Even the DLC is great since you get a whole new character, spells, lore and more. Plus...THE DLC IS 5 BUCKS. HOW CAN YOU SAY NO? Also, on the 27th of November, they're giving all 5 characters another weapon with passives when we already have 3 for each character with 3 separate passives that you can use on the weapons. Each update has made me comeback to the game and put in another 100 hours at the very minimum and I still haven't tried every build or Aura that I could after many hours put into the game. At the VERY LEAST, this game is a 9/10 due to great music, great combat, great lore, great bosses, great Co-op, great DLCs and even great Devs. We even have another update after the one on the 27th and I'm so psyched for it.

suddenly i want to achieve a 'death-speedrun' in that game

You come out with these videos so quickly, it's really impressive! I'm excited to see how your channel grows in the future and not gonna lie I may need to draw fanart of your fursona/mascot in the near future ;^^

Nice avater

Have you ever tried cryptharc (the first one), it's one of the few rougelikes that i beat on the first try and it was pretty fun. but i'm not a big fan of the sequel as it went from 2d to 3d

Looks cool. Thanks for the review.

Darn my roguelike backlog grows lol.

Oh I won cobalt core! ❤

This one is a doozy! I played this game back in May, and I am curious how much it has changed since then! Good pick for an underrated and less known gem! A game that has had my head scratching is Brutal Orchestra, but I'm not sure how youtube friendly that is... Otherwise, I'd always say Going Under is a small game that makes me giggle. Great video as always!

This looks a good game to play on the go on the Steam Deck. I tried the demo but got squished and slashed a bit too often for my tastes. No fault of the game, of course.

thanks for playing the game I suggested! Im happy to hear you liked it. Just a little note though, the game drips feeds you a little bit of lore every time you finish a day, you get these little sections where someone is telling a tale to someone else about what I'm assuming is the player character around a campfire, I never went past day 3 myself so I'm unsure if it ever becomes relevant.

If you like the historical Japanese aesthetic, give Wind and Wilting Blossom a look. I had a lot of fun with it.

This channel is gold for me, glad things are going well for you!

Sounds great

I'm definitely going to get the game soon after that good review of it.

Proud to be in the first K of viewers, as a fellow rogue like loving furry lol

I will definitely be keeping my eye on these, windblown does look quite fun. Speaking on this topic I will say I'm particularly excited for a game called die in the dungeon would recommend glancing at it if you haven't

Huh what're the odds lol I just saw a friend play windblown and they really wanted me to try it I just might after hearing two recommendations

Congratulations on reaching 1000 subscribers! also WINDBLOWN IS OUT??? aaaa

ay nice dude, ya worked hard and it's showing, also all three of those games are definitely on my radar, good to hear about them~ keep up the great work!

To kill a god seems like it would do well if it has some in-depth lore. Some roguelikes can function with minimal lore as long as the story and gameplay carries but this one needs lore from what you've shown us imo. The setting is too neat to be handwaved away. Sin Slayers seem clunky here. I don't mind Darkest Dungeon but it stresses me out since I need to grind and keep alive multiple people. If it was just one then it's not too stressful but I can't even do a fkn pokemon Nuzlocke with the same death mechanics because I will ACTUALLY cry if anyone dies. If SS has an easy to access help menu then the wall of text tutorial is manageable. Was about to say, Windblown seems very reminiscent of Hades and I 100% the first game. Co-op looks promising too. Dashing everywhere seems cool and it's gonna be so much fun if you can dash off platforms and just die if you misjudged the distance. If you can't die from that then oh well, still fine lmao.

So many roguelikes, so little time 😢 still gonna try em all at some point.

Congrats on the 1K subscribers. Have you tried the demo for Star*Vaders? It’s pretty cool IMO. It’s a roguelike deckbuilder that is sorta like playing a turn-based version of Space Invaders.

Windblown definitely makes me think of Ember Knights, and I've played the heck out of that, so I'll probably like this too

I got windblown day one and its been a blast in co-op. btw you get an upgrade in zone 2 i think which lets you just hold the A button down so you don't have to keep tapping to dash

I gotta wait for the next payday for Windblown 😭. Can't wait for To Kill a God as well, though, definitely interested in that one.

I did not expect windblown to be out literally a week after the stream was done definitely getting it now

every day im amazed you have less subs than me

Congrats on the first K, many more to come!

Windblown got me waitin on payday

Hmm, yes, a furry is recommending Windblown. Never would have seen that coming! (and you're right to be doing so)
