Hey, it's the creator of Mortal Glory here! Hope it's ok if I hijack my own comment here :) Did you know this was the first game I ever made and that I did it alone, in 9 months and without any previous experience? A lot of people were inspired by this, so I decided to start this channel in order to help others get started with gamedev and answer any questions you might be wondering! At the same time I will also be sharing some behind the scenes info on Mortal Glory: How different things were made, what problems I ran in, how much the game has sold etc. If any of this sounds interesting to you, come have a look!
@@AuroDev Hi, your game is very similar to the one I played as a kid 15 years ago or so on a J2ME phone, so I assumed it was you continuing the development. I wonder if you were inspired by it? It was called Gladiator Manager (not a very creative name which made it hard to google, but the author is Seppo Suorsa). It also had a 4 max team building theme where you fight other teams in different legions, level them up, equip them, etc. Injuries were also implemented, you get overkilled or overkill someone and the gladiator skips next x fights. The difference I remember is that that one was more like an endless sandbox, gladiators aged and retired, and it took quite some time to be able to consistently stay in the top league. I googled a bit, and it seems the guy has been developing the game on PC since 1991, wow. It's called Areena, there's even a physical board game, and Arena 7 is implemented as a web game.
"So win quickly I'm assuming", says Egg, as he ignores the massive banner giving him examples of how the Emperor's demands and desires seem to be randomised rules and modifiers on each fight.
This might be a controversial idea but if there's no good spot to put it then just turn it off? He's gone nearly a decade without it and I'm still not convinced it was a necessary addition to begin with.
Was thinking that too. Top middle, seems like he would have only really covered up the emperor. Though for most of the video I was thinking, "good idea, can't be called out on missing stuff if we can't see it either."
@@tyraster8603 You can't see all his weird faces he makes without it. Works for NL, Dan and MALF. Apollo should try it again. Makes for fun when they are playing against each other.
Yes, I am saying, "More roguelikes, really?" But I'm also saying, "Thank you Egglord, I appreciate all the roguelikes you wanna give and I would especially love this as a regular."
This game clearly has it's roots in the "Areena" series of gladiator games (and Finnware games) of the late 1990's and early 2000's. Many of the awkward systems of this game exist because that's the way they were designed 20 years ago and the dev clearly did not want to change them. Some classic team names from those days are Auringon Soturit (Warriors of the Sun), Kaaosvoima (Chaos Power) and Pimeyden Ruhtinaat (The Fürsts of Darkness). Seeing this video come up really made me feel nostalgic.
This immediately reminded me of the old Finnish freeware game called Areena - and how I almost always got my booty annihilated.. Gotta give Mortal glory a try.
Hey, dev of the game here! I loved playing the Areena games when I was growing up (mostly the 5th) so they were definitely a big source of inspiration for Mortal Glory :)
"The rules of the tournament forbid having 2 of the same race in a team." Well good to know that organizers of blood sports are progressive enough to care about diversity and representation.
But for real though, the emperor is racist against minotaurs. I mean those rounds of the final tournament attempt were all "only ranged users and no bull rushing."
I realized after 20 hours that we need series from this game It’s rouge like It’s easy on grafics so your commentatory skills shine brighter A lot of re playability I vote for yes if you will ever have a dilemma to rec more of this or not
Hmmh, this resembles the Finnish "Areena" gladiator game series a lot. I wonder if it's by the same guy and he finally decided to go international and make money.
The way he used Hathus really hurt my soul. At that point its wasting a turn, and he refused to use them to deal even 5 damage with that incredible 14 agility. Probably would've dodged melee blows too? Also, he could've taught it Corrosive Mist bare minimum for 5 damage ranged.
This seems really nice... EXCEPT they gotta have a "click on unit, movement range shows up on map, click square to move" thing that one would expect from a grid-based turn-based game. I don't think controlling units with an on-screen 8-directional numpad is a good permanent solution.

"Team Name?"
He's gonna make it Northern Lions.
"Northern's Gladiators of -Justi- Egg."
Obvious title is obvious, thus totally missed.
Happy to see you you're enjoying it! :)
The game's amazing dude
I love it!

I'd watch a 100 episode series of Ryan playing this.
This would be a fun short series.
"I'm gonna move this again so you can see enemy information"
Puts cam in front of text log that shows information.
I was so frustrated by that.
Meanwhile there's a panel with 9 useless (to the viewer) movement arrows
When he gave the +20 hp to the minotaur instead of Hathus who was a 4 hp....
Yeah, I know when he had that option I was like "oh great, now the guy who dies from just getting a status effect can actually do something."
to be fair, Hathus was literally useless. 4 STR, 1 WIS, no damage and the curse effect was questionable at best.
@@m.s.365 gained agility but became useless in literally every other way. if you can make her a debuff machine maybe it would be useful
Yes, I am saying, "More roguelikes, really?" But I'm also saying, "Thank you Egglord, I appreciate all the roguelikes you wanna give and I would especially love this as a regular."
"Mortal Glory" ... that's the title of the video? No fancy quip at the beginning? No "Northernlion Tries"? Just... Mortal Glory? ... hm....
Right? I was legitimately confused for a second.
Think he forgot to retitle the video lol
Okay but actually this game seems pretty interesting
Yo a mini series of this game would be pretty fun

Correct! I loved playing the Areena games growing up (5th one mostly) and they were a big inspiration for Mortal Glory :)
@@redbeakgames9604 Bought the game after seeing this. It scratched the itch I have had for a Game like Gladius for 15 years.
@@alexandersprague1752 Awesome, great to hear! :)
This seems like a really interesting rouge-like, would love to see more of it.
"Wheres magic damage"
Only reads 2 of the 3 stats, where the third one literally tells you its magic damage.
27:21 - Out of ten icons, NL missed the one icon that was actually what he was looking for
Me: Another roguelike ?
NL: Yes but its different this time I swear !
Please play this game more, I'd really enjoy this
"you need to see enemy information"
*proceeds to cover the combat log*
This looks like quite the interesting little game, wouldn't mind seeing some more of it
dude nothing was more satisfying than the Minotaur getting first blood at full range. This game is legit
i like how this game works, dunno how long you could play it, but getting familiar enough to beat it would be fun to watch.
The cam should go middle top where the king sits
I’d watch a miniseries of this
please man you gotta continue this series
This immediately reminded me of the old Finnish freeware game called Areena - and how I almost always got my booty annihilated.. Gotta give Mortal glory a try.
If i recall correctly, it's meant to be a spiritual successor?

@@redbeakgames9604 man, this game is awesome!
@@redbeakgames9604 DEV IN CHAT, BE ADVISED, DEV IN CHAT
Seriously though, this is a neat little game you've got yourself here. Good job.
@@redbeakgames9604 Another Finn here. I immediately thought that hey this looks a ton like Areena. I played the crap outta those. Nostalgia strong.
Looks like this may have drawn a huge amount of inspiration from Gladius, an underrated multiplat gem from 2003.

@@fallouthirteen nah, he's just giving the other races an opportunity, since the minotaur was wrecking the enemies all the time before :P
Please father, i desire more... Bequeath me with thine roguelike grace!
Honestly thought he’d call them “Northern’s Lions” shame on me.
Areena 4 or 5. Anyone remember this great freeware/shareware game from y2k era?
You never got a reply, but yes.
I used to play swords and sandals I loved it so much as a kid.
I would actually love for this to be a mini series
Bought it straight away. 8 hours played and this game goes in. It's really fun, slay-the-spire-like team building for your arena
i like it quite a bit
I hope he makes a series for this
Egglord, we love it when you play roguelikes
please play more of this
Watching NL play a game, literally ANY game that requires an even mildly functional human brain is actually unbelievably tilting.
Seriously, seeing him just not kill the an enemy because he wanted to move a unit back was so frustrating.
A nice update from the classic Gladiator Manager (2008) adding events and the emperator
Bro I like your hair
Hope you do a mini series on this NL!
A series of this would be cool :)
Hope nl keeps playing
22:30 - The ups and halts of gaming madness
This game looks pretty cool
15:13 - NL taking us to the gun show
Some people complain when TH-camrs read the tutorial on video. I'm just so glad the egg actually reads them.
Friendship ended with Northernlion Tries. Now game title is my new best friend.
Went to find justice, came back with Egg.
"we've learned something"
No, no you haven't
NL giving the hp restoring skill to the guy who dies in one hit instead of his tanky minotaur. Makes sense.
This seems like a great game for a mini series. Itd be cool to see if you can start with 1 character and beef him up for the first round.
Reminds me of the super old classic "Arena 5"
I would watch a miniseries of this.
When He didn't kill the fiendling in two hits around @18:00 it almost killed me. And I almost killed my computer monitor.
Don't usually say this, but this would make a really good series for the channel, even just for a week or two.
honestly the wait for the Mortli Crue joke was absolutely worth it
I have to try this game.
Would like to see more of this
Mortal Glory
Can't wait to see more of this on streams
The Emperor: "Remember, no rushin'."
Been playing the hell outta this, it’s good
**has a 4 hp unit**
NL: I think I'll give this 20 hp ring to the character with 40 HP.
I realized after 20 hours that we need series from this game
It’s rouge like
It’s easy on grafics so your commentatory skills shine brighter
A lot of re playability
I vote for yes if you will ever have a dilemma to rec more of this or not
Moves himself over the battle log and says it's for our benefit..... Never change Egg...
Want some more of this
For a sec, because the Eggcam covered part of the title, I thought the game was called Morning Glory.
"stabs with a dirty blade"
thats some serious VC shit man
I liked this game more than I'd like to admit
This egg can always find a way to screw up, *moves himself to "see enemy info" blocks whole log*
I'd love to see a short run of this, NL!
The style of this game reminds me of games like Hillsfar and Pool of Radiance, the advanced DnD games
Hmmh, this resembles the Finnish "Areena" gladiator game series a lot. I wonder if it's by the same guy and he finally decided to go international and make money.
Oh nice- I just saw the developer on imgur stoked that his game was trending.
The way he used Hathus really hurt my soul. At that point its wasting a turn, and he refused to use them to deal even 5 damage with that incredible 14 agility. Probably would've dodged melee blows too? Also, he could've taught it Corrosive Mist bare minimum for 5 damage ranged.
Emperor demands ranged knock-outs
Egg:"I don't know, do you consider bull rush to be ranged?"
Bruh.
Immediately after asking that the emperor's next demand is "No Rushing" LMAO
I didn't wanna see the kill feed either. You are much more beautiful egg.
Goooood video as always egg -just an appreciation comment
This ain't Swords and Sandals
I could watch a series of this. Could you do a few more episodes?
Yo, who remembers Runestone Arena! This just sent me back to 2010.
For the Glory of the Egg!
I def like how NL doesnt notice his gladiator going to 4 max HP this egg is cracked
He doesnt know guys he just doesnt know
Ëghbourn, his Baldness
This game is fucking sick, it’s like ChessXRougeliteXTactical game !
Has he tried Shortest Trip to Earth yet?
If you play more please train your troops so they get stronger.
This actually seems pretty cool. Wish it looked a little nicer. Added to wishlist!
Poor Shrek getting beaten up and bloodied.
24:53 the best type of club (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
Slapper. Loved the shrek run on twitch too
Hathus is the name of the Hafu Mathas ship.
maybe 1-2 run videos of this?
I feel Like "Northern's Lions" would have been good

Seems like a mobile port? as those are the ones that tend to have the on screen movement options now
Does NL record with OBS, or does he just use it to stream?
Bit rough around the edges, but looks like a good game. Like a pay-to-win mobile game with all the evil corporate stuff removed :)
Whut, this is just like any of the generic mobile rogue-likes I have played. You need to look for good mobile games my dude.
Hey NL! I wanna bring to your attention a rougelike called Atomicrops which is a farming rougelike and I think it would be right up your alley.
