    This game is harder than you make it look. I just won my first run using lots of countdown with shielding and poison. Also had a crazy shield scaling run but swapped my 1 damage card out by mistake and got soft locked in a fight lol.

      Same thing for Wildfrost. It got shit on in the reviews because it's pretty darn difficult if you don't put some actual effort into your strategies, and lots of streamers and youtubers got absolutely clowned on while playing, meanwhile Retro just blitzed through it and made it look like a cakewalk.

      At this point Reto is just like that. I guess what you have to do is keep monitoring what works and what doesn't, and try to guess why those things work and those other things don't
      At first, your way of making sense of the game is like trying to hold on to loose sand, but eventually you'll become more observant and insightful; you'll start to understand what things are relevant to consider and which not as much. Games like these are essentially instantiations of (virtually ill-defined) problem-solving. Eventually you'll become so good at learning and approaching these games it feels as comfortable and fun to play these games to you as it feels to Reto
      Or so my hypothesis, constructed from what I know of psychology, would be ^^

  • @jaycejoy4023
    @jaycejoy4023 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This game is amazing but a something problematic about it is how strong defense is. Bastion is a godlike spell and you can basically win any run just with bastion and a ham sandwich

    This run was a blast to watch, the start was really dicy and it took a lot of decisionmaking to stabilise the run. It looks like a couple of bad decisions could have ended this run really early
    Glad to see that my previous comment of the game looking a bit too easy was very wrong

      It'll turn either into a depleted:, or charge reduced to 1. Just lowering it to +2 block this combat is still way too good

    I was so happy when the game was released ... Got hooked last time you made a series on this game and was so disappointed I couldn't play then, so super happy I can play now.
    I now struggle with the max difficulty (as I should) so I can't wait to see you handle that.

    Bastion got nerfed, as that was needed. I just got it in my game, upgraded it like Retro did, and was in for a bit of a shock =) I had to sac it to get the shard back. It seems like you want to play around Solidify instead, along with the combo where you deplete, get block, and get more steadfast - I'm forgetting the names of the spells at the moment. Bastion might also still be good if you go for the other upgrade. The one on the right is mostly unplayable, though, unless maybe you have it late with a specific build. (Its countdown on the right-side upgrade now increases every time you cast the spell, making it more and more expensive to cast.)

    When broken it says "cast to repair" so makes sense you can't repair when out of spell uses

    • @Retromation
      @Retromation  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Oh I understand why it is that way from a technical level, but I am saying why is it that way from a game-feel perspective. It _feels_ bad to end a turn with extra dice and a broken spell.

    • @xn85d2
      @xn85d2 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That doesn't actually make sense to me, since the effect of putting the die in is not that the spell gets cast. It just looks like a bug where you can't put the die in because you've reached the spell limit.

    • @applesaucemouse6987
      @applesaucemouse6987 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@xn85d2 it's not a bug. Fixing a broken spell is a cast. It was designed that way on purpose.

      @@applesaucemouse6987 Fixing a broken spell technically is a cast, but it shouldn't be. You can't normally cast a spell with a 12 countdown with a 1, but you can fix it with a 1. The fact that it is a cast and therefore interacts that way with cast-number restrictions seems unintended.
