I'm new to your channel and have enjoyed your videos...I haven't seen any WOKE or politics, so that makes my day (but I haven't watched your older videos. I'm an ex-combat medic veteran, stand-up comic, a tobacco farmers son and a recreation therapist (several other careers too LOL) and am a Conservative Gen X and hate when people say BOOMER...that's my mom who is 76, But I don't look 52...the ladies say 35 to 39 😆😉) but I love gaming and even used as one of my modalities to help (I mostly helped behavioral disordered children) ...I best shut up but I always introduce myself to almost every Channel I subscribed to. Anyways I am a fan just wanted to say thanks for the good videos with HUMOR! ONE last thing, what is your opinion on the games 1) Armello 2) Ghost of a Tale and lastly 3) any JRPG that is more open world/like that doesn't look like a bunch a 11 year old girls with cat ears...it just feels weird...I'm not talking full Dragons Dogma but more like the Xbox 360 'Lost Odyssey'.... I'd much appreciate it. God Bless
shoutouts to the GOAT of VS Clones that is HoloCure, adding Twinstick aiming to VS is genius, and the characters are unique, and the guy keeps adding more content for Entirelly Free
There was a mobile game years ago called Robo5. I'm not sure if it's still accessible anywhere, but it was a Catherine rip-off. Yeah, like Atlus' weird block moving tower climbing Catherine. Very bizarre inspiration choice, but it always stood out to me.
15:20 I do remember seeing Space Bunnies being advertised on PC Gamer back then. Although I was too young to understand much, this picture of the babe and the bunny monster are burned in my brain
How could you not mention HoloCure in Survivor clones? It's COMPLETELY (no microtransactions or anything) FREE! And a new update adding a casino, new abilities and characters on November 15th!
One time, SMB speedrunner and NES connoisseur Kosmic constructed a tier list of infamously hard NES/Famicom games based on difficulty; this of course includes Battletoads, the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, Silver Surfer, all that jazz. When he got to Holy Diver, he added a new tier - above top tier - solely dedicated to Holy Diver.
Reminder: the foam in Foamstars is the bodily fluids of the player characters. This makes sense for Splatoon, as your character is an anthropomorphic cephalopod.
Brotato is actually older than Vampire Survivors, lol. I used to play the genre back during the Flash game boom, the Boxhead series from Kongregate is basically Brotato from 2008. Bullet Heaven is a good name for the genre.
Oh my GOD no you don’t understand; I have had THAT ONE SONG from Golden Axe Warriors stuck in my head for YEARS and YEARS and I could never find it because I thought it was from an RPG and could NEVER FIND IT. I cannot tell you how much weight literally just lifted up from my shoulders 8:34
Lol! I was looking for this comment as soon as I heard it. BTW, Austin, "Thames" is pronounced like: "Tim's" only pronounce the "i" like the "e" in the word "them" "Te-mz" 😊 Hopefully (if you see this) it will save you from being clowned on by the inevitable flood of comments you're about to get correcting you lol. 😋
@@austineruption My mom gave me her Super Famicom when I was a kid. One of the titles she had was a Kunio-Kun and a Double Dragon game. Been into beat’em ups ever since. RCG is top tier and only few are on its level.
I know it was a one off mention, but if you're interested in an actual Motorcycle Platformer, check out Laika: Aged Through Blood. Like the Trials game with a gun.
pikmin clones: Masters of anima, the Overlord game series, The Wild at Heart, hotel Transylvania 3 monsters over board Zelda clones: 2d Oceanhorn 1 and 3d oceanhorn 2 paper Mario clone: Bug Fables
I think its important to point out how the Narnia game was basically Lego Star Wars fused with the Lord of the Rings PS2 games, such as with the combat having different combos, parries, etc., and even stuff like selecting levels on the wardrobe being very similar to the level select in Return of the King. Very interesting fusion.
actually fun fact, freedom planet was originally going to be a sonic fan game but was later changed to become its own thing, Changing lilac from a hedgehog to a dragon and so on
24:21 I was hoping to see HoloCure mentioned here, or perhaps the VS clones added to Gacha games recently (Nikke and Zenless Zone Zero added their own clones as well, really fun honestly)
The only thing about Funko Fusion that intrigues me is the Shaun of the Dead level. That movie is one of my favorites of all time. But I'm always down for more of the 100% videos!
I don't understand how PalWorld can be on a list of "games you probably never played" when it was like the biggest thing going for almost two months after its release
To me, freedom planet 1 felt like a clone of classic Sonic but with extra steps: freedom planet 2 feels like a specific clone of the Sonic Advance series, but that may just be me. I would love to see you cover more Sonic content on the channel by the way😊
OH GODS PLEASE DON’T DO FUNKO 100% ! I’m dead serious, that game made me physically sick and was a bug-ridden mess at launch, which made some levels impossible to finish ! It was DREADFUL reviewing that game and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy to try it out, let alone 100% it x)
Freedom Planet is also notable as I believe it was the first official acting roles for Dawn M. Bennett (Lilac) and Alejandro Saab (Mayor Zao), alongside early roles from Sean Chiplock (Prince Dail, Spade)
Despite never thinking "God Eater" would ever actually get brought up here, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it did under the context of being a "Monster Hunter" clone. That's pretty much the one and only aspect most people know it for. Funnily, the same thing happened to its spin-off, "Code Vein". Yeah, "Code Vein" is strongly implied, to the point of just not outright stating it, to be part of the "God Eater" universe. And the one thing "Code Vein" is regarded as being is that one "SoulsBorne" clone, but "anime". Can't really catch a break there. But yeah, "God Eater" surprisingly might just be the second largest Monster Hunting series in that sub-genre. 3 mainline entries (with multiple enhanced iterations in-between), the aforementioned spin-off, something like 2-3 mobile games, an (albeit incomplete) anime adaption as well as multiple OVAs, multiple manga, for some reason has top billing from both Ufotable and Go Shiina, was featured in crossovers like both "Project X Zone" entries as well as having a one-off rep in "Neptunia" of all things, and more. It's kind of absurd how recognizably popular it actually was. Kind of a shame it's probably dead now. Shift, the developer of the series, got completely absorbed into Bandai with their company name being essentially discarded. Like, they don't even show up in the credits but the staff is all there. Their last project was over 5 years ago now with "Code Vein" and there's pretty much been no news since. You'd think it'd be "God Eater 3" which did release after but apparently not. Despite it being a mainline entry in Shift's flagship franchise, it was instead outsourced to Marvelous since they were busy working on "Code Vein". That's really sad. And given the mass layoffs at Bandai not too long ago, I really got to wonder if the final nail was finally hammered in on that coffin.
Surprised that "Holocure - Save the Fans" didn't get mentioned in the Vampire Survivors section. It's a VS clone using V-Tubers from Hololive (Gura, Korone, Pekora etc.) and it's honestly very good (and free to play might I add... Like ACTUALLY free to play not modern "free" to play)
I miss God Eater, but am very happy we are getting Freedom Wars remastered, it was so good even capcom copied the thorn, they did it really bad in iceborne, but they still tried it.
I'm gearing up for the eventual wave of Balatro clones. Because you know studies are scrambling right now to cash in on the game that has sold 2 million copies and a combined total of 11k YEARS play time and that was before it came to mobile platforms.😮
An interesting clone-ish game is Tornado Outbreak. It’s similar to Katamari where you play as a tornado sucking things up to get bigger and there are items to collect before moving on in each zone. I feel like you may have talked about it before but it was a fun take on the Katamari genre.
I’m glad that you’re having a nice experience with Foamstars. This was released between AAAA finest, Suicide Squad and Skull & Bones… and Helldivers 2… so you know how much people forgot that this game existed. Unfortunately, even if it’s now f2p, there’s no news about bringing it outside PlayStation. There’s a huge chance that it may last until January next year. Please enjoy this and cheer on, while it lasts.
not sure if you already covered it but another sonic adjacent game is Spark The Electric Jester and its two sequels. 2D Sonic + Sonic Adventure inspired. Tehsnakerer made me aware of them and they're really cool.
You didn’t just call Tenchu: Return from Darkness aka Wraith of Heaven one of the „Not so good ones“. That game was amazing and I’d consider it the last good Tenchu game.
I feel like it was insane to speak of Vampire Survivor Clones and not talk about the one that made everything better about it, Holocure: Save the fans.

Its kinda a RE/Silent hill clone...but I really just want one of the youtubers I follow to cover Siren: Blood Curse
I don't know if you've covered it, but if you want a Metal Slug clone, play Demon Front.
rocket money doesn't cancel anything. that was the whole reason i got it and it did not cancel a single one of my subscriptions
Please do more Sword Art Online, you've missed several games now.

The thing that sucks about stumble guys is that it's gotten some big-name crossovers, like the companies didn't even notice it was a knock off
I can't believe Austin mispronounced 'Thames' in the EXACT same way that the super best friends have never lived down.
Continuing the legacy as an old SBFP fan.

Do gunko
Yeah, do the funk fusion review - you're good at getting to the essence of that stuff no one wants to touch
My default AI response to this included something that said "It's a cult classic for a reason" which is just heresy.
You have no empathy for the suffering he gonna go through?!

28:13 The Persona of Splatoon Games.
Go destroy Death Adder, you should have said " yeah, yeah, I am going, geez what a grouch "
CT SPECIAL FORCES for the Game Boy Advance is one of my favorite Metal Slug Clones Right next to Stitch 626 GBA
The “Th-ames River”? All your British fans are going “Oi!” Right now
That was rough to hear for us Americans as well
Lol! I was looking for this comment as soon as I heard it.
BTW, Austin, "Thames" is pronounced like:
"Tim's" only pronounce the "i" like the "e" in the word "them"
"Te-mz"
😊 Hopefully (if you see this) it will save you from being clowned on by the inevitable flood of comments you're about to get correcting you lol. 😋
@@LilyoftheLake14 So it's not pronounced like "Tim's" at all. Hopefully (if you see this) it will save you from being clowned...
@@konrikosuave ...right. That's why I specified to replace the "i" in "Tim's" with an "e" sound like in the word "them"
So: Te-mz

I think the streets need that funko fusion 100% vid, we GOTTA see what they're cooking in there
That 15:04 transition was so epic 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Please do Funko 100 percent.
"We've been covering these for ten years now"
_(Remembers his talking about 2014)_
*PAIN*
Dark Cloud soundtrack is underrated, good choice
Austin I love your videos and admire the effort you put into them. Your channel brings me peace n familiarity.❤
So happy to get a new a video today I needed this so much
yes, please do the thing you mentioned at the end!
Speaking of Freedom Wars, can't wait for the remaster in January!
I know it was a one off mention, but if you're interested in an actual Motorcycle Platformer, check out Laika: Aged Through Blood. Like the Trials game with a gun.
Can't believe you didn't mention HoloCure during the Vampire Survivors segment, it's one of the best ones! 😭😭
pikmin clones: Masters of anima, the Overlord game series, The Wild at Heart, hotel Transylvania 3 monsters over board
Zelda clones: 2d Oceanhorn 1 and 3d oceanhorn 2
paper Mario clone: Bug Fables
23:50 me and brother had stars wars demolition! Maan don’t wanna call it a copy clone.
One name I have heard for Vampire Survivor-likes is "Horde Survivor". I feel that name perfectly describes what those games are.
We absolutely need a video on Funko Fusions.
My favorite thing about Golden Axe Warrior is that it had a sequel on the Game Gear that was a clone of… Zelda 2
I think its important to point out how the Narnia game was basically Lego Star Wars fused with the Lord of the Rings PS2 games, such as with the combat having different combos, parries, etc., and even stuff like selecting levels on the wardrobe being very similar to the level select in Return of the King.

Yes do 100% funko fusion! I would never play that game myself but I am interested
Man, I saw Twin Bee Rainbow Bell Adventures in the back of an EGM in the import store ads when I was a kid and I really wanted it.
Good to know that Castlevania's gameplay inspired many more games before SotN. Classicvania clones are something I've never heard before.
ayo the 22min the song was from ehrgeiz my inner kid nostalgia was triggered
Awesome video as always Austin. Dolphin Blue is a fun time for what it is. Well worth an hour or two.
24:21
I was hoping to see HoloCure mentioned here, or perhaps the VS clones added to Gacha games recently (Nikke and Zenless Zone Zero added their own clones as well, really fun honestly)

“Nah thanks never had one before why start now”
Countdown vampires is a memory I forgot I had 😂
Aw
I was half-expecting HoloCure would pop-out in the vampire survivors clone part....
30:39 Bro this game has so much vision, like now I'm irked it's not on Steam cause the Playstation audience will NOT appreciate it enough.
I actually had a lot of fun on Street Racing Syndicate.

Wait it's out already?
@@LillyP-xs5qeIt's been out for a while now.

Nothing says Halloween like breaking copyright laws!
5:42 Belive me, 1993 is not that late for a Master System Game. The last European Game was 1996, The last Brazilian game was 1998.

Yeah i can't believe he skimmed over that but added some movie adaption game that nobody heard of lol
here's a fun fact
there's so many vampire survivor clones, i have a steam collection dedicated to VS Clones alone! I've found 150+
yes i'm normal
If you don't 100% Funko Fusion, I'm afraid no one else will :/
Man i loved that tweenbee game, i had ot with an "emuking" cd
I miss God Eater, but am very happy we are getting Freedom Wars remastered, it was so good even capcom copied the thorn, they did it really bad in iceborne, but they still tried it.
14:07 Sean Ross Sapp! I feel compelled to comment about this. Wouldn't mind hearing you get into wrestling stuff sometime.
I agree, this year IS a time warp!
If I didn't hate multiplayer games I bet Foamstars would be right up my alley lol
I am almost equally curious and fearful of Holy Diver for being notably difficult in the NES era.

you left out the best Castlevania 2 clone in history!! aka Nightmare in Elm Street :)
*casually marking Sparkster and Gilius Thunderhead off of my Austin video bingo card*
that Golden Axe game NOT teleporting you out of a beaten dungeon is WACK when they
bothered to copy so many other minor details from Zelda1
i think Clones are good, is like more of the same you like but with a different take, also helps some teams to train on making professional games
Bring on the 100% Funko Fusion
Props for a Trailer Park Boys shoutout.
I’m glad that you’re having a nice experience with Foamstars. This was released between AAAA finest, Suicide Squad and Skull & Bones… and Helldivers 2… so you know how much people forgot that this game existed.

not sure if you already covered it but another sonic adjacent game is Spark The Electric Jester and its two sequels. 2D Sonic + Sonic Adventure inspired. Tehsnakerer made me aware of them and they're really cool.
Regarding the end of the video… Yes. Yes I wanna see that
I know that 100%ing Funko Fusion would be a horrible experience and not worth the damage.
But for that same reason, I would love to see you do it 😂
I got very curious about Foamstars, up until I discovered it was a Playstation exclusive.
Yes, Funko Fusion please
The Shaman King Master Of Spirit's games are solid metroidvanias. So it could be worthy next time you do anime, licence, or rip of games
Seeing Wild Hearts getting mentioned makes me happy, Wild Hearts is so good.
Have you covered the old God of Thunder game for the PC? It was an old episodic Norse Themed Zelda clone. Catchy main menu theme.
Yes on the Funko Fusion 100% video
I do Splatoon streaming and did Foamstars as kinda a joke stream. It was better than I thought but it just made me yearn to play Splatoon.
Oh hey, I actually own Master of Darkness physically.
Never see it get mentioned, so was pleasantly surprised to see it here.
No Citadale? Makes me sad :(
You didn’t just call Tenchu: Return from Darkness aka Wraith of Heaven one of the „Not so good ones“. That game was amazing and I’d consider it the last good Tenchu game.
Midnight club was dope
"Imagine Waterworld but anime." So "My boat..." meets "Nice boat."
Foamstar is fun, even the PS4 version runs well
Yes. Because morbidly fascinating is the best kind
