I bought it in EA, and I'd say you're not totally wrong, but it's not quite a tower defense IMO. You aren't building a path for enemies to walk through, with things attacking them all the way. Instead you're just managing hitting things as they come, and you have to make your character stronger. It gets a bit crazy with enough upgrades. The wizard/mage character goes hard.
I really appreciate that you always make a point to show us things like meta progression systems, available classes/playstyles, etc., beyond just what you're using in a given run. A lot of let's play/playthrough channels tend to gloss over or neglect those aspects
This is one of my favorite rougelikes! Nearing 100 hrs, the different class challenges are pretty fun and playing on mastery 25 results in the craziest builds by late game. Super cool that you’re checking this one out!!
No one can show this to the path of exile devs. They’ll get jealous that someone made a bigger skill tree and spend the rest of their lives trying to reach infinity.
The POE devs could make the skill tree infinite in a single change. They can just make it such that large clusters jewels have sockets for other large cluster jewels and the tree can grow to infinity.
on your comment that some paths feel shorter, counting the tiles the north path has 4 tiles, the south path has 5, east and west have 7. they look pretty uniform in size so they seem like a nice measuring tool. also the orbital arrows seem to always or it around approximately 3.5 to 4 tiles away on every lane. so i would say for sure they are different lengths.
Thanks for reminding me about this game. I remember you playing it some time ago. Now that I have a steam deck I can start to play some of these games you play. This is on the wish list because I just started Okami today.
Greetings, i want to say thank you. This video just appeared in my recommendations and i was immediately hooked. Bought it and have so much fun. Thx, kiss and hugs from vienna.
It was so painful to watch you take Stimpack over Hail of Arrows (most op ability on archer since it comboes with others like the one for the circular arrows). All in all I recommend focusing on going far in the tree to find more epics/legendaries than buying random commons that don't go anywhere, but it was a nice run. And also try and do the challenges, some of them unlock new legendary talents for each character, super important! Hope you upload more of this one Dan :D
A run I had one of the first element changes was titled like 'missiles, more missiles, infinite missiles' and all the changed nodes were missile upgrades..... easy run. Had most of that game at 2x speed afk and got a drink.
2 epic talents make the game trivial. First one - orbital arrows always crit. Second - on crit hit arrow pierce everything. As result, orbital arrows became persistent and never go out. And they keep accumulating, destroying everything instantly.
game does seem to be up my alley, but i am not sure why poe2 tag is used on it. hope it was just an automated system mis-tagging it rather than an intentional misrepresentation to pull in the audience of a currently trending game
I'm not sure tagging the vid as poe2 to bring in poe2 players would count as intentional misrepresentation. Tags are a bit ambiguous in what they're meant to mean. One person might say "all vids tagged poe2 must be about poe2 itself" where others can reasonably think "this is a vid about something like poe2". Ultimately the title, thumbnail, and first 5 seconds of the vid clarify that it's about a retro auto shooter, so I don't think there was anything unethical in adding that tag
Bought the game, it's goaded, I completed the warrior challenge where you get more legendaries but it's double enemies. As soon as I got past the first wave, I won on that attempt. Did countless attempts to get past that first wave though.
You should get a new mic or do something with your settings, because there's always some kind of muffling sound with your voice. Almost like it's got some weird added base or something.
my first run was kinda meh, even got close do losing... second run i didn't even needed to use my skills, bounties are op, literally untouchable, 0.3 attack speed, 10 damage and could hit enemies before they could come into screen, i've use abilities at last wave just to get achievements xD unlocked mastery 2 AND 3 as a bonus ahaha 3 run i went mage and got a legendary, 20 orbs and only had 3 skills, i was 1 point away from a portal on last night, sadly coudln't make it
Am I crazy to think this is like a minimalist tower defense game at its core? Looks like something that could soak up a few simple relaxing hours.

@@aaronsmicrobes8992 the perfect tower is similar in the defense aspect
I got the same vibes i felt exactly like a tower defense from watching it
@@That-_-Guy Yooo someone who knows the perfect tower too
Such a goated game tbh, but the lategame kinda makes my brain hurt
@@aaronsmicrobes8992 to me a TD is when a tower auto shoots for you. You don't control the towers directly. (At least not all of them)
I really love that your channel has found such a great niche with these small roguelites.
The lack of webcam and calm voiceover feels very classic.
Thanks so much!
Olexa 2?

@@cowmilkbiz how did you complete the catch em all challenge on wizard? Capture 15 is the challenge
@ which one is this again? The only challenge I still have trouble with for wizard is the super shroom boss battle. That guy is tough!!

Please play more of this game! It’s fantastic to watch.

@@samundef3500 path of exile 3 with require a quantum computer to open up the skill tree. Every other part of the game is the same

thanks for bringing the needed visibility to this awesome game! you should definitely do a summoner run, its so fun
i instantly bought this game after 5 minutes of this video, thanks

Love this game. It’s my go to cozy game. I don’t know why but it’s very calming even when it’s hectic for me.
infinite skill tree in a rougelite? Count me in! Thanks for letting me know about this game!
I remember playing this game for free on Itch a year or two ago. Really liked it, but forgot what it’s name was so I couldn’t find it again, lol
Its name is not its strong point. That would be the skill tree. Talented Steam brings it up on Google and TH-cam.
its*
Just bought it after watching your video, thank you!
Oh snap Talented is back.
YAY more people playing Talented!
From first min you convinced me to buy this game :D
the sound track sounds so good!

i love this concept of infinite skill tree !!!
I like it man, neat little game looks great
gonna have to get this for sure.
This looks like a sweet gem for sure!

Brb need to buy this
2 epic talents make the game trivial.
First one - orbital arrows always crit.
Second - on crit hit arrow pierce everything.
As result, orbital arrows became persistent and never go out. And they keep accumulating, destroying everything instantly.
well for it's price I'm sold. Seems like a great game to spend hours on.
The top is shorter, actually. The top lane has 4 squares and the bottom has 5 squares
Insta buy. Thanks for the vid
Damn straight to it, love that.
The infinite stat tree
Orbital arrows reminds me of thunder rockets from Onslaught 2
This sounds great, but the tower defense gameplay is a put off for me. I wish there were random generated dungeons to explore with it too
This could use a mobile version, it'd do great on app stores.
I like this game. I’m just having trouble figuring out how to play the last character… 😢
I wonder if they plan to do an endless mode on this game
Turns out there is an endless mode!

Steam game tags are often applied by players, not the devs, so the tag could just be people poking fun at PoE's notoriously sized skilltrees.
I'm not sure tagging the vid as poe2 to bring in poe2 players would count as intentional misrepresentation. Tags are a bit ambiguous in what they're meant to mean.

Just felt like people who like PoE might like this game too 🤷♂️ wasn't really trying to trick anyone.
Any idea if it's ever going to mobile platforms
Traps, orbital arrows and homing missiles? Seems a bit unfair
Does this game have an endless mode?

@@Solrex_the_Sun_King did it have endless? Heavily considering buying
@@jasonmaserton yes but it's kinda buggy and short lived lol

I'll take a look but I'm pretty sure that's just my voice!

3 run i went mage and got a legendary, 20 orbs and only had 3 skills, i was 1 point away from a portal on last night, sadly coudln't make it
is this a new Exile-Like game?
Does the skill is random each New game ?
Skill tree is randomized each run, yes!
Is it coming to mobile?
Why have infinite tree if only 20 nights?
you can remove the crt filter
great game to waste a few hours ideed
Will this game ported to android?
Infinite?
:)
not a roguelike
How so? Tree resets every run.
What does this have to do with roguelikes? 5 min in and I can't see a single feature characteristic of a roguelike.
Run-based / permadeath. But it has a lot of meta-progression as is the style these days, so the significance of each run is diminished.
@@tuesss watch the video, lol.
The talent tree resets between runs.
@@normalasylum then its a roguelite if theres meta progression...
Truly first
