    "So I have learned to predict what we go up against".
    Meanwhile, bottom middle of screen : *Next level 26 , 42 Wendigos 16 Banshees*

    Just got the game, it delivers. It's like Splat said : simple, enjoyable and replayable

  • @Winterfalke

    You can change the move speed of units when you click on them in the post-victory screen. This way you can have a unit like the griffins join later in the fight

    • @DoCKathos
      @DoCKathos ปีที่แล้ว +11

      That's good to know, in some rounds where the griffins actually survived the initial encounter they were staying alive for quite a while just from the lifesteal and a bunch of stacked damage.

      Oh that's what that's for.

    Feels like the kinda game to buy even if you don't play, just to support this kind of development

    You revealed a very interesting dimension to your character - Sam Cooke was a tremendous talent; his story was tragic and his music is timeless. Thank you for sharing!

  • @ombra711
    @ombra711 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Your musical tastes are eclectic in the best way. I've been listening to you croon throughout the years, never surprised when you belt out a classic!

    This ugrade adds another dimension to a great arena battle game. I have found that the summon melee spell is perfect for keeping enemies from getting to your back line. with two upgrades of the spell you get a quick summoning ability so that you can have them spawn in the ememies starting area. This draws almost all enemies to these melee units allowing your army to advance past middle ground. ou should also get at least a dozen archers and/or other backline troops since they have a four tier upgrade to their power.

    When the gryphon charges 1st, freeze the enemy they got to so they wont die early and they stack some damage. With the life steal they can deal more damage longer

  • @yobgodababua1862
    @yobgodababua1862 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Interesting observation... the Gryphons starting holding up much better with the lifesteal. I suspect that is actually their jam, since the more they hit the more they heal.

  • @smallweinersteve8808
    @smallweinersteve8808 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    really feel like the Archangels did extemely well with the lifesteal, early on the sole Archangel you had never died

    I like this one. Usually I'm just here to vibe (Splat's a great creator and I love listening to him parsing through a new game, but a lot of his coverage is on games I'm just not very interested in) but this one's giving me big Hero's Hour feels and that was another one I lost a good few hours to. Thanks much, bud.
    Glad you recovered from the incident with your channel my man o7 like I said I don't usually grab the games you cover but I catch almost every video just for the entertainment value. Every now and then you'll ping a game I just vibe with but I'm just happy to see you still uploading and enjoying the process :) Happy new year, Splat, and here's to a better one than last year.

  • @majormajorasic
    @majormajorasic ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Bless spell works REALLY great with Gryphons attack increase and Lifesteal upgrade, if you're lucky that Gryphon can basically become immortal as long as they don't get one-shot.

  • @Bananahammock681
    @Bananahammock681 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ay~ first video of the year! Lets make this years resolution to not work tired =P Life's a little duller without our daily Splatty goodness.
    Hope your year goes well bud! I'll be here watching, same as the many before it.

    I immediately bought this game and I don't regret it, it's really fun!

  • @grayaj23
    @grayaj23 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    "Cyclops" is singular. "Cyclopes" is (sye-kloh-pees) plural.
    If you've ever seen a mammoth skull, you'll understand where the idea of a cyclops came from. They're terrifying to look at.

    • @patdeen3960
      @patdeen3960 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I had to go look one up, and yeah. I can easily imagine the idea of a cyclops being born from a mammoth skull.
      Definitely terrifying.

  • @Reoh0z
    @Reoh0z ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I would love to see synergies between the units. Maybe some of the mediocre units get a boost in the right build that makes them better overall if you can pull it off.

  • @1010120
    @1010120 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for showing this off this game. You convinced me to buy it and it is a lot of fun. Has a Vampire Survivors feel to me in a funny way. I guess it is the automatic combat with upgrade choices, the graphics, the characters and the account upgrade paths. Obviously a very different game but has the same satisfying feel to it for me.

  • @Raistling

    Damnit. Only 7:05 minutes in before I bought the game. Well done

  • @Jasta85
    @Jasta85 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The hero who removes friendly fire from spells is stupid powerful, get all AOE spells and summon melee, late game you can summon a tough melee unit right in the middle of the enemy wave which will cluster around them and you can dump 3 high damage aoe spells on them and kill like half the enemies before your troops even engage them. makes the game easy mode.

  • @undergroundalienstudios56
    @undergroundalienstudios56 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sam Cooke is 10/10. A change is ganna come is probably a top 10 best blues songs of all time.
    But we all know Otis is the king.

    As a cyclops (i've only got 1 eye), I am not offended by your not knowing what the plural of cyclops is, Splat. It's either "cyclopes" or "cyclopses".

  • @santipapa6986
    @santipapa6986 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I get why the spells are horizontal, but I think it would be more rewarding if it was vertical, maybe less damage but vertical so you can line them up, or some of them at least, like the poison

  • @ezracramer1370
    @ezracramer1370 ปีที่แล้ว

    NICE. only one thing I would like to see is either positioning units at the beginning of battle, or option to move them in real time in battle.

    i think adding races or factions would be cool.... so in each tier you get a choice between 2 or 3 factions and you have to go with them for this tier... maybe elves, humans, dwarfs, orcs, mythical, undead ... the usual suspects

    the demo broke by buying tier upgrades, by that I mean the game offers the higher tier units and you crush the enemy with them. Also you don't need unit cap unless you want to field the units, you can have units that you just keep at home.

  • @mowinckel10
    @mowinckel10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The games problem is that you want to only focus on melee. A ok health, life steal 50% and high damage basically beats everything.
    And since the frost giants freeze enemies that ATTACK them, they become stronger as there are more enemies. So there is never any reason to buy anything else than frot giants.
    So het melee summons, bless, heal and one extra spell, live off those until you get frost giants and that ia the monosteategy.
    I stopped playing after completing the third unlocked difficulty level. It just... is not varried enough

    Speaking of which... Whatever happened with the Mount n Blade sequel? Last I'd looked it had been released into an early, early access at AAA full price.
    Mount n Blade was OK, but it wasn't a Kenshi and their combat was wonky. I've never seen the sequel get to a reasonable price in any sale, so haven't looked into it since the early access release.
