  • first and foremost, apologies for the delay - i wanted to complete this last friday but i was just not really feelin this game, and you can probably guess why from the video title.
    (i just realized that the entire time i mispronounced iltria's username so also my bad for that, also i meant bearable for the approaching game; i am insane from recording the voiceover at like midnight so i apologize for the lack of professionality.)
    today i review ilitria's Verdant Moon, and while i thought that had an engaging introduction and an intriguing premise, it ultimately fell short of my expectations due to its tendencies to imitate the source material it derives heavy inspiration from (which is ofc rogue lineage).

    To me, Verdant Moon was never really about the gameplay. It was the one game that really encapsulated a feeling of nostalgia I had been longing for. Everything about the game's simplicity, environments, and music felt so warming and familiar yet I had never played the game during it's peak. Safe to say it really does have the perfect aesthetic I look for in games of the genre. I absolutely love the feeling of being able to travel nearly anywhere you want and explore a whole world through trial and error without any hand holding or boundaries stopping you. I feel like no other rogue-lite or RPG game comes close to the feeling that Verdant Moon gave me. also the combat is ez as hell, I always seem to win 1v1s against max prestige level 50s for some reason

      i couldn't have said it better myself, it has a melancholic nostalgia vibe to it, probably from the concept of a ruined world where everything important has already happened, and you're really just trying to survive.

      I completely agree. I’m not very good at the PvP parts, but I can get by against PvE. The main draw for Verdant Moon for me was the nostalgic, sort of lonely feeling in the environments. Exploration was a lot more fun and interesting to me.

    Verdant moon was the first "lore" game I played, and I was encapsulated by it. I would spend every day going through every dialog that every character had. Making google docs and connecting every dialog I could, finding any kind of connection I could. The game has its flaws obviously, but it holds a special place for me.

    how do you not have any views man these reviews are amazing and straight to the point
    also two things about this review's info i have to say is that:
    1. yes there IS--well--WAS a discord and its what you expect from rogue lineage clone discords (angsty, hormonal, and a highly questionable art channel). it got locked down before iltria left verdant moon, which was long before she left roblox itself
    iltria as a person tl;dr she was not known much besides like specific people but she was just known to use connections and suck up to important figures in other games made by the creators of rogue lineage to get onto their current project (Deepwoken). after a whole exposé on the mod team in the spring, iltria suddenly quit the dev team and roblox at the same time, so take that as you will
    2. i hate to say it but this game's lore is practically fan-fiction since it was copy and pasted from the same game that iltria got the music from: Rewrite, a romance visual novel with roughly the same backstory of this game with the only difference is the names of important figures.
    pray this comment helps with the algorithm and i hope to see u again next time!

      thanks for the support! i'm actually surprised at this info bc i haven't really delved too deep into this beyond the surface level, but yeah that's very interesting, apologies that i could not cover in the vid. it sucks about the lore too, i genuinely was interested in the world they were setting up with that but even if it's the case, my issue's more with how much injustice they did to the thing bc it was a cool concept
      thanks for watching!

      Sobre Rewrite isso não é 100% verdade, rewrite tem uma historia bem diferente e você so precisa ver o anime para perceber isso, a visual novel ela tem uma historia muito extensa mas realmente algumas partes tem inspirações fortes mas tirando essas partes a historia é muito diferente, o que eu vejo é mais uma mistura de varias coisas que ela assistia que ela foi se inspirando ate chegar nisso, algumas dessas foram por exemplo made in abyss com the embrace, fragmented chasm e alguns outros lugares, não acho que seja um caso de plagio mas tem umas coisas realmente... parecidas ate demais.

      @haddy9793 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@spiriteddefault The way the guy said it seems that she plagiarized everything and just did ctrl + c and ctrl + v, actually the story is very different, the romance of Terra with another lunarian, the song of chaos that she sang at the "party" (I think that was the name) that was consuming the world over time, the way that the songs manage to influence the game and the world, the "seed" that is at the bottom of the abyss, the worms, the embrace and the morality, all of that they are clearly original ideas mixed with concepts from things she was watching, reading and seeing. the vibe of the game is very good and the lore is really mysterious but at the same time it's very complex, some of the things you can't trust just by seeing the story on the wiki.

    I loved Verdant Moon, not for the actual gameplay parts like weapon enhancing, grinding money, or anything else like that. I only did those to make it so I could stand a chance against people who would try to kill me. My favorite part about the game was exploring the massive world and the story of the game. I think that almost every location in the game has a unique story to tell, and the music they decided to use for each location fits almost perfectly in my opinion. It also got me into the ReWrite series. Good review though, your points are fair.

    For me, the game of course isn't the best out there but what I love most about it is just the experience of it all, even with guides and such you still bask into the whole setting of the beautifully crafted areas and the wonderful music choice in the background to fill. I'd say all the progression and combat is second to the whole setting, lore, and varying characters to interact with. This is what I find most appealing about the game and having interacted with the community (both in game and on the discord) it made it so much more sociable. Verdant Moon in my opinion is something you wouldn't focus on the combat nor progressing for the sake of bonus power ups (I prestiged 8 times so I would know), but rather taking in the world and immersing yourself to the beauty of it all on your own accord. It felt a lot more refreshing to the say the least and if I could, I would want to experience the game all over again.

    Great video! Verdant moon was one of my favorite games for a while and I miss the community a lot more than the game. The lore of the game was quite interesting, though, and I did enjoy the environment and a more comforting feeling than other roguelike games. I'm still pretty crushed that the discord is gone, since I had a lot of art and work in there that I would've liked to revisit. Lot of memories made in this game, but your criticism is great.

    and about the re-playability the rebirth system and the ability to change weapons, relics, and shrines without having to do too much helps with that although i see what u mean
    and overall the game is not meant to be played alone having a guild and making friends was the most fun part for me

    The combat although simple (blocking and dashing) has more to it that players who barely play the game/pvp won’t really know or notice one of which is endlag punishing which all of the best pvpers in this game know about and blocking does matter a lot as well compared to dashing but you just need to know when to block and know all the skills in the game and how people can use them, but I agree the progression is flawed and really not new player friendly or something that will keep you hooked if you’re not just having fun with friends

    Some areas you haven't seen that are really cool is like the hanging village, but other than not exploring the map entirely, i agree with most points. But heres what i don't agree on:
    1. There's not really stunlock in this game, its just ur swing speed is slower, so when ur swing is interrupted ur swing disappears, ur able to block without being stunlocked by m1s.
    2. The spells add alot more combat changing elements and movement
    3. There's alot of other mechanics like bosses and factions that weren't explained.
    4. The only part of this game comparable to rogue lineage is the delayed swings and trinkets. Other elements have been in many other games before rogue.

  • @kingstondaking7877
    @kingstondaking7877 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Here's my take on some of the things you brought up. I don't necessarily disagree with you entirely, as there are definitely some issues with the game, but I think you just didn't get a full grasp of some of the systems.
    - Worldbuilding. There is an in-lore reason why your character looks DIFFERENT then the NPCS actually and I find it really cool. Essentially, the player character and the in-game humans are not the same. Players are instead known as the immortal "Dissonant" which were created by Aeon after the song. Aeon's goal in creating the dissonants is to stop the song, which is how the rebirth system comes into play. The Temple of Curia (which is where you rebirth) is only open to you after having achieved max mana and level 50. This happens because Aeon creates you for power, and you sacrifice yourself back to Aeon to be rebirthed to gain more experience come back and the whole thing again. For the different areas, you did not explore the game fully and that is a flaw in your review. Every area had something different to add to the world, there were actually two different ruined cities known as Etrae The Hanging Village and debatably the Lunarian Reservoir, which to be honest I consider it to be just a normal city. The different areas that the game has to offer are all so strikingly different, the 3 different branches from The Gray Garden are already so distinct.
    - Mana. So during the game's launch, mana was actually an artifact. Just HAVING mana itself was a rarity, and spells were even more rare, however after a month or so of gameplay people started to get fussy about the spell book and mana crystal rates so it was upped which is why it feels like a necessity since everyone else has it. Again, lore reasons.
    - Combat. Levels never mattered, gear never mattered, although you could progress your weapon through finding the adequate trainer and paying for skills the only thing that really determined your fighting capability was your own skill. Especially with getting health on kill, bossraiding wasn't limited to your build and was based on your capability to handle X number of opponents which is something that I really liked. PvE combat is definitely flawed due to the rogue system but it's not really the main aspect of the game anyways.
    - Lore. This game, unlike other rogue copies, actually felt alive back in the day because of the lore and player interactions to be had. Besides just Terra and Lunarians, there's a lot more to the lore like Moralities, Daemon, Worms, Traveler, Vows, etc. These aspects made your character feel like they strangely fit in with the world, along with all the other weird people you would meet in the gray garden. Speaking of people, talking to people is one of the game's greatest treasures. Especially when you're new, finding new areas with people and fighting tough battles together in the world is one of the best experiences the game has because it makes everything else feel that much more alive. You have friends and enemies, paths and roadblocks, goals and differing beliefs. It's hard to replicate now days when the game is super dead, but back when the game would average 400 players, seeing somebody that you never thought you would meet again.. defending themselves from the threats of the forgotten lands, seeing them run and fight for themselves, is something that I can't describe. The game plays off your experiences with others, your experiences with the world, and mixes the two into a stew that I just can't get enough of.
    I'll leave this here since I honestly forgot about the points that brought my attention

    imo verdant moon is a PvP-centric game that hides behind a thin veil of PvE content, since you can count the total amount of unique NPC enemies on one hand and a finger. since the PvE is lacking, progression is more or less just keeping up with the arms race against the rest of the playerbase.

      1k hours is an overstatement but yes, in my opinion the game has a shit ton of content (the prestiege system compliments it aswell the players like following new players around on their journey, pvp, and playing with friends and just exploring around in general)
      but now that the game is dead the game is quite literally stripped to half of what it was, it needs players to not be empty.
      to me verdant moon in its peak with like 1k players was one of the best games to me, it gave me very deep feelings about the game and i was truly drawn to it, i guess in my few years of playing roblox theres only been truly a few games that have resonated with me

      2. Verdant Moon (dead game)
      3. Blood Samurai 2 (dead game)

    It's all due to that idiot , Sealant wanted the game to die out bc he didn't like being a mod under the control of a retired dev, Iltria so after iltria retired and left the discord server he went on and accused her of grooming people in verdant moon, and started banning people who played the game under the excuse of "not supporting a game made by a groomer"
    The actual reason he did that is bc he wanted to make his own verdant moon where he controls everything with no one above him.

    bro you missed half the game
    1. you missed kon
    2. you missed conquest
    3. you missed ALL the progression (shrines, covenants, relics, morality, )
    4. missed arcanas
    5. missed pvp
    6. missed like 80% of the map
    7. missed hidden secrets
    8. missed EVERY spell
    9. missed all other weapons
    10. missed prestige dungeon
    you have the assumption that VM is a roguelike, even though its an action adventure pvp game
    looked at the wiki and completely ignored it
    "guys i need all content to be spoonfed to me"
    "guys the game is shit and has no content i did not play it though"

      1. KON is a boss that to my knowledge had the advantage of giving arcanas which is now removed and requires you to buy a title to summon (not sure if this info is outdated) and grinding in game currency to do a boss is a moment
      2. conquest is a guild-only feature that many solo players likely won't experience and i take the perspective of a potential new solo plr to the game
      3. much of the prog you listed really only is limited to abilities your character gains and isn't necessarily something that builds on the endgame or the experience itself
      4. see above (not sure if was really removed but wiki says so)
      5. i did briefly mention it when i spoke on the combat, but really much of it is self-explanatory as the game plays very similar to Rogue Lineage
      6 (and 7 i suppose!). i should've definitely explored more than i did, but many areas/secrets themselves don't really expand on the gp itself and i try to focus on the mechanics the player uses rather than the building of the world
      8. Spells in the game vary in usage and again play very similar to Rogue and to cover them all underneath the scope of one magic system is rather unrealistic when they're so diverse
      9. weps fit similarly to why i didn't cover spells + again, play very similar to rogue
      10. i think i said in the vid i didn't like the concept of rebirth systems so rebirth-exclusive content will prob not be covered by me
      i made the assertion that verdant is very similar to Rogue, but if i accidentally said roguelike then it's my bad. many of the points you made i dismissed as "part of rogue" bc rogue players will understand that they're essentially the same and it would be redundant to cover something everyone already knows. I also try not to use the wiki in my playthroughs/experiences of the game unless i'm lost, apologies if my points were muddy in the video or i didn't cover something as well as you might've liked

      ​@@spiriteddefault the only thing similar about rogue and vm in terms of weapons is the weapon animations themselves. the core fundamentals of their games are different (sword and spear are very similar to rogue i will not lie)
      verdant moon:
      movement
      pressuring
      punishing
      reads
      rogue:
      whoever lands their combo first generally wins
      the combat for both games are not that similar because rogue has a more combo heavy focus while vm has a more movement based combat system
      what i mean by this is movestacking run with m1s to make yourself hard to hit (ww)
      you can also do movestack q with any skill, spell, m1, or m2
      this is extremely easy to do with a quest and defines the combat as a whole
      this game also has no true combos too which make it totally different from rogue
      theres more i didnt cover but to say rogue and vm are similar in combat is quite weird as the fundamentals of each of them are totally different
      you mentioned that you killed a prestiged player with spear, because all weapons are balanced(besides greatsword, greatsword is op)
      that is another difference they have, there is no power scaling meaning me and my friends can kill prestige 10 players at level 15 on alts(and newgen prestiged players generally suck)

    I feel like the issue with your review of verdant is the fact that you didn't really play enough. To be fair, i don't blame you since the progression is genuinely some of the worst ive ever had to bare through. However, you didn't even get weapon skills, which is an issue considering that you didn't use one of the core mechanics of pvp in combat at all. You also explored a minimal amount of the map, and then called the game "empty". It's also a completely dead game where people were banned in ban waves because saelent (a contributor) wanted to cut any funding iltria might have still been getting from vm (for good reason, she's a pedo).
    Now I will be blunt. Verdant is complete ass until you're endgame and all you can do is pvp. The progression is boring, with your main method being either farming daemons for hours and hours on end, or killing kon over and over. The playerbase, while it can sometimes feel like a cozy community, with 99% of the time be the most toxic cesspool known to man. Verdant is also the most unbalanced shit ever, with greatsword having at least 5 ways to reduce your hp to half or less within seconds (one of those being literally spamming m1), and enough 100-0hp combos to make rogue players weep. The only thing you can do against greatsword sometimes is literally holding x on your client, freezing yourself mid air (it has a move that launches you into the air which then chains into a long and high dmg combo), and using your crit to punish them. It also has what is effectively a counter move, which gives it hyperarmour, allowing a semi competent greatsword player to interrupt your combo and decimate your hp. Scythe is complete dog, except for it's m1s, which often bypass block because of it's janky hitbox.
    The only fun part of verdant for me was pvp. It's the tech (and movement tech specifically) that you have to learn and perfect. The dodges in verdant aren't locked after you execute them, which allows you to move your camera while shift locking, moving your dash as well. This means they're surprisingly versatile as a defensive and offensive tool. However, they don't have any s, meaning you have to actually learn your opponent's hitboxes and weave around them. There's also w+w, where you sprint after pressing m1 or any attack to maintain your movement. You can skirt around people's hitboxes easily by abusing both of these. Jumping also reduces your hitbox size, letting you jump over some m1s, giving you even more movement options. You still have to block, since you wouldn't want to be caught vulnerable after a dash, considering many of the weapons have a lot of ways to punish you. They've also removed the majority of infinite combos, which is highly beneficial to the gameplay, since you don't have to watch your hp slowly go down to zero anymore.
    All in all, I don't blame you for not playing verdant to it's end, because of it's arduous and boring progression, it's lore that's completely ripped off of rewrite (oops forgot to write a paragraph about that too lol), and it's lack of any good players. I just have an issue with someone saying that they've played verdant and it sucks while only having played a small portion of it. Do i recommend that you go back and give it another try? No lol, why would I ever ask someone to torture themselves like that. It's a shit game, with it's only redeeming quality being it's pvp, which is also only fun if you've grinding for hundreds of hours. It's bad.
    (also sorry for the 4 paragraphs i wrote, i got a lil carried away lol)

      no, it's def understandable and i get the gripes w/ how i go into games, i meant empty in the sense that much like the derived inspo of Rogue Lineage, i felt like there wasn't clear direction and i was already blown from covering a previous imitation lol (the gp i recorded was ~2 hrs in length and i don't really tend to go into projects much deeper than that if they fail to engage me). i ignored a lot of points such as what you mentioned in regards to weapon skills as much of these systems are beat-by-beats of Rogue and i feel like people from that game will sorta be able to understand if i say the combat is like that, but i should've elab'd for the other ppl so i apologize for that.
      i've heard a lot about those allegations as well which shocks me, i try to give support to devs no matter what i think of their games but very sad to hear that she's gone down the abyss like that, gives a bad name to other roblox devs (not like it can get much worse atp). appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
