When a game makes your brain hurt, and just when you learn it and it no longer hurts a boss makes it hurt again.... You know it's a skill based game with a lot of potential
This game is actually incredible. One of the most unique and well-polished games I've played in years. Everyone should go play this game. Thanks for the rec Splatt
on the first part of the boss fight when he does the horizontal walls, you can move one up and one down to still hit him instead of both going the same direction
The most unique part of the game that struck me is the music beat drop syncing with abilities with a slight, immersive, screen shake. I got a good bit of a rockband/guitar hero vibe.
This is my jam. I really like the idea of this--Brother A Tale Of Two Sons is one of my favorite games of all time, FWIW. Combined with the dopamine-pumping "kill things for shiny bits," this is a hit with me already.
There was a PS2 game "The Adventures of Cookie & Cream" that in single player mode used similar controls. It was timed puzzle kind of game. Much easier with 2 people playing to control each avatar. Not sure how this game would work with a person controlling each Archon. Could be interesting.
I don't think it was mentioned but, I love the UMPF effect on most abilities, there is not only visual but also sound indicatior that your ability hits something, the bigger the ability the bigger the UMPF effect. Love it.
Damn you really stepped it up gameplay-wise, played the last fight so well on 1 hp! :D By the way, I know you've got some background as a musician, and I presume you also played guitar? I wonder if that helped you get used to controls faster since you've already got some degree of finger independence. This game looks great so far, the interesting design already deserves some praise and I hope with time they'll also add dedicated PC controls. Although it could be that it'll be one of those games best played with a controller.
was thinking that myself. Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Splatt said he plays the guitar which is why I assumed he's so good at this game off the bat. I watched someone else play it and they were having a super hard time, and I reckon I would too lol.
Splattercat, just wanted to sub and say how much I appreciate how articulate you are, and your intelligence, knowlege of game history and design, and humor! I've purchased many games from your recommendations; Starcom: Unknown Space was the most recent and fun. This game looks like it would be good for your brain.
18:00 some games allow you to play two characters simultaneously like. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Unravel Two (solo play) Degrees of Separation (solo play) Kalimba ibb & obb The Gardens Between More games focus on co-op mode, but few allow players to play as one player and two characters simultaneously. The one listed above has the option to play as one player controlling multiple characters simultaneously
Came here to say this. I really enjoyed the musical aspect of this game. I think people who play guitar or other musical instrument will find the gameplay satisfying. The game needs to lean more into it's musical ideas imo. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.
Hmm... Controlling two characters at once is certainly an interesting idea! If the character's design where just a little more distinguished between the two, you could consider the second character as more of a cursor rather than another whole entity to control.
my logitech keyboard couldn't handle that many letter inputs at once, I changed ijkl to the arrow keys and I use wasd on some games and arrows on others, so my brain is already used to those and it worked well for me! I really enjoyed the rythm synched with the damage you do, reminds me of dablob a bit?? more damage further in the level = more beats
Wow just the art design is compelling! I'll give it a try. As always, another gem from splat. The fence works really well in deep rock galactic survivors. I'm going to have to rank it up to see what it can do.
Man that health orb you were trying to break in the second run was way too sturdy, it should not be hard to break the thing you wanna break open in an emergency to recover your health.
Oh, it looks like the sawblade moves faster or triggers more frequently when you are standing closer together. I bet there's one hell of a high risk/high reward stance to be made out of that; if I were better at the game.
The active abilities like the guns are the only part of this game that dont really work. They are weak, make your character stop moving, hard to aim, dont sync to the beat… Everything else is very well put together.
God: Angels! Prepare thy halos! Angels: You mean the holy anus? God: No! We do not call it that! Angels: It is a circle of holy energy that expands and detracts while hurting creatures touching the edge. God: Yes! A Halo! Angels: Nah. S sacred butthole attack go!
I am a little disappointed in your community. Three hours after you dropped this video, and not one comment telling not to pee on the electric fence. Terrible.
@@Lonestar1771 This is the real answer. He needs engagement on his videos, and that kind of titles works. He used to do it "propperly", but youtube punish him with poor views.

waiting ror a game with 4 characters to control.
i got two feet.
yeah when you forget to breath while watching you know its gonna be crazy playing it
No, you know it's an annoying game with moron developers.
@@vforwombat9915 You know, to control one joystick, you don't need a whole hand.
Nice pfp
thank you for your ability to scrape through the morass of 'games' to find the gems within. very much appreciated.
A real gold digger this cat.
This game is actually incredible. One of the most unique and well-polished games I've played in years. Everyone should go play this game. Thanks for the rec Splatt
Oh man, that boss fight broke my brain. I could feel it trying to split into two and go separate directions inside my skull!
Yo that boss design was REALLY smart.
Thanks for this Splatt!!
on the first part of the boss fight when he does the horizontal walls, you can move one up and one down to still hit him instead of both going the same direction
My favorite part is the sound effects being synced to the music.
playing the demo, I can't live without the bleed proc sfx
The most unique part of the game that struck me is the music beat drop syncing with abilities with a slight, immersive, screen shake. I got a good bit of a rockband/guitar hero vibe.
This was so stressful to watch lol
It feels like the kind of game that can be stressful to watch but zen-like to play, because your brain is too busy playing to have time to worry.
Twin-stick Survivors game is much more interesting than 'Another vampire survivors clone'
downloaded the demo, the vibe of this game is awesome. sound design and style kicks ass. really enjoying it
This is my jam. I really like the idea of this--Brother A Tale Of Two Sons is one of my favorite games of all time, FWIW. Combined with the dopamine-pumping "kill things for shiny bits," this is a hit with me already.
Yeah, Brothers was a special game and the control scheme unique. Good to see something else working with it.

Piano players should find this easier.
You could name every 2 handed instrument and you'd still be wrong.
@splattercatgaming Thanks for covering this one. I normally would look right past this type of game. This looks interesting, though.
Damn you really stepped it up gameplay-wise, played the last fight so well on 1 hp! :D By the way, I know you've got some background as a musician, and I presume you also played guitar?

This is such a cool concept. I'll definitely try it once it's full released.
Uff - I can tell that ill both love and hate this game, so stressful yet so engaging!
As someone with ADHD I agree. Just watching makes my brain buzz. Can't pull my eyes way. Good stuff.
Splatt getting close to 1mil subs, nice!
Splattercat, just wanted to sub and say how much I appreciate how articulate you are, and your intelligence, knowlege of game history and design, and humor! I've purchased many games from your recommendations; Starcom: Unknown Space was the most recent and fun. This game looks like it would be good for your brain.
There should be juggling pins you throw back and forth...And they get faster and do more damage with each power up.
by 1/4 of your video i was laughing, wound up and excited. very cool looking game.. dunno if i can lol
This requires so much coordination, no wonder it’s rare.
18:00 yes it was done before. Brothers: a tale of two sons is one example
Now thats a great game in progress. An early buy for me
18:00 some games allow you to play two characters simultaneously like.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Unravel Two (solo play)
Degrees of Separation (solo play)
Kalimba
ibb & obb
The Gardens Between

Love the abilities synchronizing with the music

This is the first "survivor like" that looks actually unique and fun
This one is different, I like it!
RIFLE and GRENADES gave me whiplash
ThankYou SirSpatt
I like the enemy design, as well.
I love how your commentary goes off the rails in your videos sometimes. Down the rabbit hole of "Gabriel, your halo isn't very girthy today, huh?"
Hmm... Controlling two characters at once is certainly an interesting idea! If the character's design where just a little more distinguished between the two, you could consider the second character as more of a cursor rather than another whole entity to control.
Watching this makes my brain hurt
This would be fun on the Nintendo Switch because of the portability form factor, plus you could play with someone each controlling an Archon.
Co op would be sick
The game looks great... not sure I'm my brain has the spacial acuity to play it effectively. 😂😂
My dyslexic ass could never even try to play this game.
Cool looking game but it makes my dyslexia freak out.
the first thing i noticed about this game is the camera, its smooth asf
I like how all the mobs seem to have active abilities.
good find
The control scheme reminds me a lot of Brothers : A Tale of Two Sons.
Looks polished. I wish the dev would parlay this into a solid ~$20 top down Action RPG like Grim Dawn, Path of Exile or Diablo.
Cool idea this is. Keep up the daily videos.
Watching this made me skew-eyed....
Nice video, keep them up 🙂
my logitech keyboard couldn't handle that many letter inputs at once, I changed ijkl to the arrow keys and I use wasd on some games and arrows on others, so my brain is already used to those and it worked well for me! I really enjoyed the rythm synched with the damage you do, reminds me of dablob a bit?? more damage further in the level = more beats
Looks promising.
Wow just the art design is compelling! I'll give it a try. As always, another gem from splat.
The fence works really well in deep rock galactic survivors. I'm going to have to rank it up to see what it can do.
The dev should patent this mechanic, patenting mechanics like this seems to be the meta these days
you cannot patent a mechanic... EA tried it, got thrown out at court
also... this mechanic was in Brothers: Tale of two sons
@@Dracadin Warner Brothers successfully patented Shadow of Mordor's "Nemesis System", though.
Nintendo's probably already got a patent on it
Seriously, screw Nintendo. No company has the right to own game mechanics.
@@Dracadin "you cannot patent a mechanic"
and don't try to paint one either- they get testy.
tale of two brothers controls for a vampire survivors is something very unexpected, not sure if i like it though to be honest but it is a idea
Just played the demo after seeing this and the dual control is head hurting at first but offers a really interesting gameplay
Was a bit excited as this has very obvious potential to be multiplayer, but it is single player only.
This game looks to be a little bit hard :D
Man that health orb you were trying to break in the second run was way too sturdy, it should not be hard to break the thing you wanna break open in an emergency to recover your health.
Interesting concept
Oh, it looks like the sawblade moves faster or triggers more frequently when you are standing closer together.
I bet there's one hell of a high risk/high reward stance to be made out of that; if I were better at the game.
Dual stick moving and aiming!?!? Does it also say "INTRUDER ALERT!! INTRUDER ALERT!! KILL THE INTRUDER!!" :D
Just watching the characters run around was making my head hurt at first. Interesting mechanic but I don't think I can handle it.
_"My shtick is better than baaacooon!"_ 🎶
Huh. It's a completely different genre and setting, but the art style and color scheme reminds me a lot of Golem Gates.
my head hurts
To me this game looks like it's begging for a 2 player co-op mode to create hilarity and kill friendships over discord 😂
Dual schtick schooter.
I'll try this with a second player, too.
maybe hold l1 down while using the stick to aim then letting go of l1 shoots it
Love the look of this game but I'm too uncoordinated to even attempt to play it.
excellent!
Splatter, idk if you’ve known about this for a while but have you heard about The Forever Winter? It’s coming out of Early Access 9/24/24. Tomorrow!?
damn, I can't avoid 1 aoe and now 2? no way 😁
Ok all good but how can you make a vampire survivor without gems on the floor?
Co-op... they were so close...
Hmmm an evolved version of the 1983 Archon game?
The active abilities like the guns are the only part of this game that dont really work. They are weak, make your character stop moving, hard to aim, dont sync to the beat… Everything else is very well put together.
You could play it 2 player if you remap the keyboard.
God: Angels! Prepare thy halos!
Angels: You mean the holy anus?
God: No! We do not call it that!
Angels: It is a circle of holy energy that expands and detracts while hurting creatures touching the edge.
God: Yes! A Halo!
Angels: Nah. S sacred butthole attack go!
🖤
Brain training game
cover forever winter please
The gameplay in the opening did not appeal with those hammers just dropping over and over.
You should check out Elewar: Fused Survivors, if you haven't yet.
I like the graphics but I’m not a fan of vampire survivor-like games.
Huh, the sync on the effocts and music is something more out of a rythme game.. then vamp clones.
ding

Not first. Don't like this comment.
Somebody already liked it. Such a rebel.
Downvoted
don't tell me what to do!!
Disliked
This one just isn't in any way shape or form unique enough for me to care about. It is very much still just Vampire Survivors...
Im surprised he didn't cover space marines 2.
He did during that press preview period.
a few days ago? check old videos
What part of Indie game isn't clicking with you?
@@ombra711 what part of Splatt loves Warhammer 40k and has covered pretty much every other one doesn't click with you?
@@variantxiii oh i must have missed it. I'll go scrolling
controller recommended/required is a pass
pad only? not for me
Splatty, as much as I love your videos, I really dislike your video titles man. Gotta be a better way to do it.
Blame TH-cam for their busted algorithm that almost requires the terrible thumbnails and video titles
Why? It's his video not yours xD
So you suggest to make something that the algorithm will not spread as wide?
@@Lonestar1771 This is the real answer. He needs engagement on his videos, and that kind of titles works. He used to do it "propperly", but youtube punish him with poor views.
He puts the name of the game in the video, that's the most important
1:40 So would you call this a twin-shtick game?
