Couple tips : 1.) Chrono crystals double the effects of time passing for TILES adjacent to the crystal. So if you put them next to enemy spawn points ( i.e., TILE effect is "spawns x enemies per y days" ) twice as many enemies spawn per day. If you put them next to medows, they heal you for twice as much per day, per adjacent medow ( TILE effect is " heal x life per y days" ). Try stacking multiple crystal near meadows for the warrior, and a few crystals near a couple monster spawning cards for the rogue. You don't have to be in range of the crystals, they effect the TILES, not you. 2.) The rogue can't get vamprisim items, but does get a stacking bonus per item for specific stat increeses ( fooken READ the words on the screen lol ) so if you have 2 evasion items, you get + 10% evasion by default, if you have 3 crit enhancing items, you get +20% crit, etc. On top of the base effects of the item. But you have different effects available per class. 3.) The deck-building aspect of the game is tied to class, so different classes will want different deck composition. Try building a smaller deck with more passive stat increasing cards and monster spawning cards for the rogue, and a larger deck with more monster producing cards, more passive stat cards, and more monster reducing / destroying cards for the warrior so you can pick your battles. You've already discovered that battlefields are MUCH better for the warrior than the rogue, this is a theme through the whole game. Swamp cards, vampire cards, and spider nest cards are good for the rogue, while oblivion, mountain, and battlefield cards are great for the warrior, for example.
This is such a good game.. glad to see you cover it Jon. Also Jon, you are using the Chrono crystal wrong. You dont need to be in the aoe to get double effect, tiles within the aoe get doubled, so place meadows near chrono crystals. Meadows will be blooming (I think) as long as they are next to a non meadow tile, so mountains work
yes flowers need to remember the old world, so meadow next to anything other will make them bloom. But please dont put them next to all your mountains, mountains get stronger when they stick together. Meadows can next to anythign! Spiders, vampires, forts, hideouts, treasurys, blood forest etc etc And please make mountain peaks out of small rocks. It makes no difference if you sacrifice 9 boulders or 9 mountains.
Two pieces of advice: 1: Max HP stops mattering once you no longer have a means of reaching that HP total. 2: Stop placing so many enemy spawners. You don't have to place every single one you get.
Jon still having a level 3 shield on round 6, and not even looking at the new ones he gets, causes me physical pain. And presumably his character physical pain, too.
Just so people don't get confused: Chrono Crystals double the daily effects of ADJACENT tiles. E.G. If you put them next to a blooming meadow, that meadow will heal 6 hp each day instead of 3 hp per day. It does NOT (as Jon says) heal you for double your daily HP if the day happens to pass while you're next to it.
That is kinda what I expected to be the case. As usual, Jon declares confidently his misunderstandings XD And I assume that he spawns a lot more enemies by putting chrono crystals next to spawners.
@@jayhom5385 Here's a little tip for gathering a tricky material, if you don't mind. When you get to the point where you'll need Orbs of Expansion you'll need to start fighting groups of 4+ at a time. What I recommend is building 4 watchtowers before you start gathering them. Use Spiders Nests, Vampire mansion and Ruins on either side of the campfire. It will help a lot when gathering the orbs.
If you pause just before the boss battle starts at camp, you have the opportunity to flee without losing anything. It has saved me resources many times. Great game!
So I bought this game after seeing what it was in the 1st 5mins of your video. then 5 hours passed and I went to bed 2 hours later than I should have and I am super tired today, but man is it worth it. so addictive
One thing for people to know when fighting the litch: when it shows up a bunch of palace tiles also show up that buff them and obliviting them removes the buff(s) from the fight.
I actually have a playlist called "Jon makes me buy" that is basically my wishlist and all but 2 out of like 20 games are games jon introduced me to, and its a 1 step forward 2 back because by the time i can get one game theres usually 2-3 more games
I love this game! I've had so much fun playing it. Glad you're showing it off! I had a great moment where I figured out a great combo to deal with annoying enemies. And it actually worked!
@@BarbarianGod -swamps dont yield ressources so they are only a countermeasure -Swamps are great against vampires. -They are REALLY great against big enemy territory once you are in act II. -They make goblins more nasty. Which can be great if you want a miniboss area Sometimes you want many strong enemies, sometimes you dont want them. It really depends.
Actually Jon, you're mistaken about the whole "Universe Time" thing. That meter actually measures the map completion, so the more things that exist, the more full it gets. As such, playing Oblivion on a tile and deleting it actually depletes that bar slightly. Little bit of lore: His name isn't Sans, it's Omicron, which you'll learn later, but yeah. That's his name. He's a mage so powerful that the spells he cast on himself to keep his body going on its own continued after his death and the only problem he could never solve was the Entropy of the Universe. Also, nobody is tending to the meadows, it's just that when they are next to something, flowers remember existing. Suggestions: Be picky about the cards you place. There is nothing that says you *have* to place cards, so instead of placing rocks, place exclusively mountains to maximize the amount of health. you have by the time the boss shows up. Since the boss is summoned based on the amount of things in the world, you have a limit to how much you can place before you have to fight him. Keep this in mind, especially because placing redundant vampire manors, useless road lamps, and overzealous spiders is only hastening you towards the boss without giving you any bonuses to help you defeat him. Also, the mountain peak gets bonuses for having more rocks and mountains adjacent to it, so make sure to surround it. Finally, don't use beacons. I know they seem like a good thing, but you actually want more days to pass per loop rather than less. This means more enemies, more chances to recover health, and more loot. I know this is sort of aggressive back seat gaming here, and I apologize, but I've been playing the game since it was released and I've managed to defeat the first three bosses. Just wait until you unlock forests, because they are freaking amazing. I actually took meadows out of my deck when I unlocked forests.
@Socucius Ergalla Yes, the bookery is very good, however, once it gets exhausted it starts adding a certain type of enemy to nearby battles that is brutal.
I dunno, beacons covering swamps seem like a good idea on regen builds, kill the bugs faster and get out of dodge that way you arent getting killed by your own passive existence
@@DisKorruptd dont put swamps in your deck when you know you go heavy on regen. dont make all swamp when you are accidentally heavy regen. Dont go heavy regen when you have swamps everywhere. And in general dont make big swamps. Swamps are good in small amount, not in big clusters. Save yourself a card and dont use beacons. Save yourself two cards and dont use swamps if they dont fit your plan.
The spawning of Sans is determined by how many plots you place down. Goblin camps and other plots that appear randomly contribute to that. Theoretically, you could just keep running in loops indefinitely, not placing anything, until you're absolutely ready.
Wow, this game looks amazing... Really great job by the developer. Can hardly wait for the livestream! This is one of those "greater than the sum of it's parts" games.
Oh John...funny how you mention that if you keep playing...it will be 14 hours later. I bought and loaded this game up yesterday after watching your recording and lo and behold, 14 hours later I was still playing this morning. I absolutely love this game...I can't stop playing. Thanks for once again shining a light on an excellent indie game.
I don't think meadows need a "tender", just be nect to a different tile. You can just put some meadows around the outside of your mountains blobs to get the tangible change. Edit: Also, Oblivion is like the only card that undoes the map progression I think. Very useful if you want to fit something in or a tile is spawning stuff itself but you don't want to trigger the badguy.
Using Chrono Crystals to boost spiders is especially good for an unlockable class. That class gets better gear based on the quantity of enemies defeated so having 2 spiders spawn per day is beneficial. The other thing they do is double the effect of meadows in its' area of effect.
I just started and use this strat in 2 ways. One is to fight the 4 spiders with a vamp to get that 5 enemy fight. The other is to use spiders where goblins/ mercs spawn to limit them.
@@stargate525 It can be useful to counter vampires, I guess. Because if you don't have vampirism but fight vampires, they take damage when they attack you instead of healing. But still, it's not really worth it because in my experience vampires are more useful for village conversion anyway.
Jon... You dont need high defense if you can get high evasion, if you're not taking hits, it doesn't matter how much damage the enemy does... And please, for the love of god, get your sprinty towers covering the swamps, the faster you get out, the faster your regeneration stops killing you
Additionally, when you've got lanterns out to keep enemy counts down, use your road tiles to reduce spawns of enemies you *dont* want fill tiles with skeletons and mosquitoes to prevent the blood slimes from spawning
Jon, with things like vampire mansions that add enemies you actually DO want to put them on tiles where there are already other enemies. Early on in the game you can still win the fights with relative ease but you have a much higher chance for better gear fighting more enemies in one fight
Something I've learned since buying this game instantly after watching this video is that if you save up your Oblivions you can destroy the lich castles that pop up when the incursion arrives, significantly weakening the incursion (each lich palace gives them like +5% damage/health, and depending on how many squares near your camp there are available they can have up to like 6 individual palace squares)
rogue doesnt get vampirism on items :( only gets the 5% base, which means you rely on other effects such as meadows for restoring hp, on the other hand you can hit the evade cap really easily by focusing on it which gives you 75% chance to not take any damage coupled with the double weapon damage means late game you can actually heal a lot with that 5% vampirism while taking much less damage overall.
Idk if this was an update, but if you clear the very last tile before the boss, you can escape with all of your loot. What you can do is hold the escape button, and that will initiate the escape instead of running into the boss.
While different, this is exactly like Desktop Dungeon in how it scratches the same itch. It's hard to explain but its just as addicting where you play "just one more round"
Also playing this having lots of fun with the necromancer class! Don't you want the Cystals to be in range of like meadows? (Not always great at explaining this game.) Don't Beacons work work for everything also enemies?
Yes, beacons make enemies attack faster too, so they're just good for getting through areas faster if that's your prerogative (like crossing swamps faster if you're doing a regen build, so that your passive regen stops trying to kill you)
if you have a load of oblivions and you're at the end, you can get rid of his temples to weaken the lich. If you did that you would've weakened him by 10% which might've been just enough!
Even better though, if you plan ahead you can fill in all the tiles around your campsite which prevents any of his labs from spawning in. Also of note, cards like the blood grove and outpost both play a part in boss battles, so if you have a blood grove nearby you can defeat the boss 15% more HP sooner and you can have up to two allies helping you out using Outposts.
One of the downsides of the combinations being spread out is that right around the time you start exploring them, you've got all the ones you already have access to.
Being in range of the chrono crystal does not double your regen. Also, once you spawn the boss, you can still get to the camp and retreat with 100% loot without fighting the boss.
the oblivion card(or whatever it is called) as far as i can tell just removes from the boss appearing gauge thus making it take longer and more risky to get to the boss, there is no passive gain to the boss gauge, i once used 7 of them and all it did was make the gauge go way back, it is risky since you now have less to fight but enemies get harder based on loop count and it takes a lot more then one card would give towards the boss, i use them to get rid of goblin camps and not much else.
Another game I was influenced to buy. This time immediately after watching the full video. A little bit of material gathering, some building, and an RPG style Roguelite WITH looter mechanics?? Mwah! Quite a grand game. And definitely a major time eater
@@johnyshadow I think it damages everything but it's hard to check. You'd need a higher damage to all than the min to max base damage you deal to see for sure. edit: actually, with my max damage at 122 with 20+ damage to all and 6 magic damage, I was regularly dealing 145+ damage. I think it's safe to say that it also damages your target.
I would favor evasion, it doesn't matter how hard the enemy hits if I can't be hit... I have all the time in the world to sit around doing chip damage to enemies who can't touch me if I (unrealistically, I know, but I'd try to get as close as I can) have 100% evasion
Can you not Oblivion a fully meadowed treasury, then replace it with a fresh one instead of building an extra one and having to deal with spawns from the empty?
No. Treasuries can't be placed directly next to anything. So to build a fresh one in the same spot, you would have to Oblivion the old treasury and all eight surrounding tiles.
@@DisKorruptd But the enemies still give pretty good rewards and in later chapters hinder any other enemies you face in the same fight. The only thing that actively improves from Oblivion is the Mountain Peak - if you have another 3x3 rock formation it forms a new one immediately for even more noticable change scraps -, and the hungry grove, which, once the grove it was planted next to is removed effectively reduces the health of all enemies, including the boss, in range by 20% and stops ghouls from getting annoying in chapter 2 and beyond.

"Bonus vampirism for armour with the same stats"
*Never once tries to do it*
Jon: "Why do I have so little vampirism?"
It's confusingly worded but the 10% bonus is to the effect you have two sources of, not to vampirism.
I am pretty sure the Rogue can't find equipment with vampirism

Being in range of the chrono crystal does not double your regen. Also, once you spawn the boss, you can still get to the camp and retreat with 100% loot without fighting the boss.
So all that's left is a camp and a walking track, in the entire universe.
Perception -1 and a game with a lot of hidden secrets and unclear information? Oh boy this is going to be fun.
the oblivion card(or whatever it is called) as far as i can tell just removes from the boss appearing gauge thus making it take longer and more risky to get to the boss, there is no passive gain to the boss gauge, i once used 7 of them and all it did was make the gauge go way back, it is risky since you now have less to fight but enemies get harder based on loop count and it takes a lot more then one card would give towards the boss, i use them to get rid of goblin camps and not much else.
love the pixel art look of this :)
"I don't want vampire mansion anywhere near the enemies"
B-
But...
Was going well until he started outfitting his rogue like an assault class. 😂
I’ve been waiting for someone I like to do a video on this 🖤🖤
Keep on keeping on!
I've been deciding whether or not to buy this, thank you for playing it sir.
im always staggered by the number of words in the first 3 seconds of these videos
FYI John, You can oblivion the Lich Buildings to decrease his health for 5% each.
We need a steam of this
This looks awesome
Came for title stayed for the post apocalyptic fantasy rouge like.
i dont think ive ever been quite this early to a video...
And here i am thinking i was Mr Pompt.
You really should have changed those boots on that rogue, that was like double the crit chance
Another game I was influenced to buy. This time immediately after watching the full video. A little bit of material gathering, some building, and an RPG style Roguelite WITH looter mechanics?? Mwah! Quite a grand game. And definitely a major time eater
A proppa apocalypse, a Proppalypse.
Damage to all is the stat I worship. I'll take a much weaker weapon if it has a decent boost to damage to all.
Do you know, is just damage to everyone else, or does it count for the main target as well?
@@johnyshadow I think it damages everything but it's hard to check. You'd need a higher damage to all than the min to max base damage you deal to see for sure.
edit: actually, with my max damage at 122 with 20+ damage to all and 6 magic damage, I was regularly dealing 145+ damage. I think it's safe to say that it also damages your target.
I would favor evasion, it doesn't matter how hard the enemy hits if I can't be hit... I have all the time in the world to sit around doing chip damage to enemies who can't touch me if I (unrealistically, I know, but I'd try to get as close as I can) have 100% evasion
It's a bloomin' meadow, Jon.
Can you not Oblivion a fully meadowed treasury, then replace it with a fresh one instead of building an extra one and having to deal with spawns from the empty?
No. Treasuries can't be placed directly next to anything. So to build a fresh one in the same spot, you would have to Oblivion the old treasury and all eight surrounding tiles.
@@FonVegen That said, it's worth Obliviating the broken treasury, since it now only produces enemies
@@DisKorruptd But the enemies still give pretty good rewards and in later chapters hinder any other enemies you face in the same fight.
The only thing that actively improves from Oblivion is the Mountain Peak - if you have another 3x3 rock formation it forms a new one immediately for even more noticable change scraps -, and the hungry grove, which, once the grove it was planted next to is removed effectively reduces the health of all enemies, including the boss, in range by 20% and stops ghouls from getting annoying in chapter 2 and beyond.
more loop hero please
Who else thought they are gonna not like this vid then watched from start to end without stopping once
This game looks really neat.
I've seen a lot about this and still have no idea what's going on. Wish the demo was still up so I could try it out :(
I bought this game today after this video, it’s 5:30 am Jon, why have you done this to me
Make this a series jon
Please more.
Why would you want higher move speed if your regen is tied to time passed?
if you're passing through a swamp where regen is inverted (except that's the one place Jon DIDN'T cocking cover with the move speed buff!)
More please
Nice, I was thinking of getting this game, will watch when I lay cozy in bed
Livestream of this, PLEASE!
Jon I think you can equip two rings, but I don't have this game so not sure if I'm missing something.
Oh wait I think I'm wrong, the second ring slot doesn't seem to glow when you select a ring.
Skeleton, there's no ing.
Okay, I'd watch a stream of the game, but I don't think I've got the mind to play it myself.
Looks like it would be a good mobile game too... I'll have to find it next time I'm on my laptop either on steam or somewhere else.
More loop hero!!!
Please make this A mini series.
Can you only use one (1) Ring at a time, or have I (and Jon) missed something?
