Zorbus is Great. Thanks for shining your big light on this labor of love Splat! The dungeon just feels so ALIVE in Zorbus! I have been playing and recording Zorbus for some time, and part of what keeps me coming back is just how IN The Dungeon Zorbus makes you feel. Part of it is the Immersive Monster AI, which makes each choice you make feel meaningful. For example, in Zorbus, smart (ish) enemies will sound an alarm when they see you, and will run when they are seriously threatened or wounded; maybe to rest up and come get you later, set a little ambush, or even to round up a posse to put you down! Note: The humanoid enemies have been known to use items in their inventory, even picking stuff up off the ground to use (how dare they)! There is also the excellent use of line of sight, light and shadow, and you can absolutely hide from monsters by putting out the torches, turning off your lantern, and closing the doors, hoping the passing or pursuing monsters will miss you on their patrol while you heal, or plot your ambush. So Intense! And the Sound! Zorbus has awesome Sound Effects, made all the more awesome when they are utterly by monsters fleeing in terror of your power! There’s just something so delicious about hearing the enemies reacting to player agency and power, of seeing their pop-ups as they tell their monster buddies to circle you, watching them flanking you and trying to block your escape! And of them swearing vengeance as they attempt their own escape after you crush a few down. There’s just something so special about running down and crushing hobgoblins as they try in vain to escape my heroic wrath. That feeling of being a HERO! ✊ Combine all that Immersion with the good looking Procedurally Generated Lvls and maps, Permadeath, and easily readable tile Art, and you have a Traditional Roguelike that will welcome both new Roguelike players and veterans alike into the Dungeons of Zorbas, to reach the center, and seize the Heart! The Zorbus shall be ours! Come! Seek the heart with me! Zorbus is the Good Stuff! Thanks again for showing it off Splat!
8:24 There is a option "Hide Unavailable". Which is on by Default. And I would hazard a guess it hides the unavailable Feats :) 11:45 @ symbol statue 13:00 "Dwarven Urgrosh" is what it is called in DnD 3E. One of the special weapon they have access to.
Protip: minion builds are VERY viable in this game. I would say that playing a high spirited character is currently a lot easier than trying to be a lone fighter or mage.
Yep. Especially early on, as with little gear and low hp, the extra minions can really help you out, tanking hits meant for you, and providing the dps to tear down hordes before they get in too many hits. The Summon monster spell is very good for this, but it does cost you exp, as the summoned monster take their cut, and casting the spell at a high lvl means passive heavy armor and pass bulky shields to the hippo bro! 🦛 👍 That’s part of what makes Zorbus so awesome, you can play it in many different ways, whether you go with The Leader, The Lone Warrior, The Blastie Mage, The Archer, or some kind of hybrid, the super Immersive, many interconnected Dungeon systems of Zorbus offer an intense dungeon delving experience that should help many new to Traditional Roguelikes experience all the gems the genre has to offer. Zorbus ranks among the greats.
DUDE this is awesome. its a short time killer by the looks of it, once set up at least, and it brings me back to the early early days of dnd computer gaming. BIG thank you to showing this one off.
The Dev should look into the legality of the names they're using for creatures and objects in this game. Urgrosh and Stirge for example may actually belong to Paizo and Wizards of the Coast, respectively. The game may be too small potatoes for those companies to bother with, but then again, maybe not. WotC in particular is actually a subsidiary _of_ Hasbro, and their legal team has no problems at all going after any- and everyone to protect their IP.
I was going to say that about them using the terms aasimar and tiefling, pretty sure those are trademarked by whoever owns D&D now as those races were invented by D&D creators.
The vast majority of the monsters and races come directly from D&D, which is why I wonder why the dev doesn’t just make use of the Open Gaming License and make this an actual D&D game? The OGL would allow third party publishers to produce their own D&D games and modules without legal reprisal.
I know that they have changed a lot of the monster and god names in this game for example Mindflayers are smth like squidfibbler and Orcus is names like Byurith I was also surprised that they have lots of iconic monster names straight from d&d in this game but that makes it fun honestly
The movement on enemies is a super nice feature. Makes them stand out easily at a glance. Never knew I'd want that until I played similar games where everything was static. Personally, I instantly lost interest in those but this seems to get things right for me.
Drizzt did/does have a Figurine of Wonderous Power called Guenhwyvar super intelligent and lives on the Astral Plane. I think they may be the tipping point that makes me buy this game.
We need more aesthetic roguelikes akin to Stone Shard, man... its one of my favorite genres and the potential is there, old school tiles and ASCII roguelikes just don't cut it anymore in 2022, imo.
You realise that all the "real" ASCII rougelikes (Angband etc.) can use the very same tileset at this game? In fact, this tileset was made years ago for those games ... . There are some slight changes in this game, but at least 80% looks exactly the same as the Gervais tile set.
@@memyshelfandeye318 ye. I meant that this game is ugly, to put a finer point on it haha... inb4 its a trade off for features and investing more time in mechanics blah blah blah. Well aware. I'm just pointing out a lingering flaw of the genre imo.
Well, I’d say that there is room for both, even in the grim dark future of 2022. Though I am glad graphically focused Traditional Roguelikes, like the absolutely gorgeous StoneShard, are attracting some attention from those new to Traditional Roguelikes, less visually focused styles have their own strengths. For an independent dev, especially a solo hobby dev, ASCII and tiles represent something both possible and in reach, especially for those without much of a budget. It opens game development up to those who may not have much money, but have some interesting ideas they want to share with the world. This also forces the dev to focus on Gameplay as the prime driver of player investment; with ASCII or tiles you simply CANNOT rely upon eye candy to save the day. Of course, if you can have both, like Stoneshard, have both, but if you can’t, take the gameplay, every time! Do Not Cast Aside the Old School Awesomeness of Zorbus! Turn off the lights if you must, but play with her in the Dark PROUDLY! She’s Worth IT! 👍
Barteon pissed off the gods and died for his hubris, on the plus side you can recruit Hippo man i'm sure he hits like a truck since he's level on a MORE dangerous level than Barteon. i mean it makes sense on my mind.
If you liked Castle of the Winds then check out Dungeonmans, it's similar to that game but with tons more content like different classes, skills and types of dungeons to explore. One of the best rogue-lites I've played.
The heavy inspiration from D&D 3.0 is obvious. The stats are different but thresholds for bonuses are similar. Races, gear, and monsters are almost identical, classes are either the same or have 1 to 1 analogs. Might as well have been an actual D&D game under the Open Gaming License. (Or perhaps it is)? 12:00. Looks like the symbol for The Draconis Combine. Someone’s played Battletech.
Splat: "They should show the unavailable options greyed out". You need to unselect the box that says "Info/Hide unavailable", he looked at every option on that screen except the one that would solve his problem.
Splay what if the random elephants weren't originally elephants but adventurers transformed into elephants, and that's why there's a bunch of friendly elephants, dogs, and monkeys just randomly strolling on the dungeon, because the dungeon master goes around polymorphing people, that will also explain the random crocodiles, crabs, and the like that start neutral but can turn aggressive later on
@@EzekielHateableit's one of my favorite series and Drizzt probably is my favorite hero of any fantasy book lol. R.A. Salvatore is definitely in my top 5 fantasy writers
@@Oriol-oo7jl The Berlin Interpretation -- about 20 years ago, people dismayed at the drift in meaning of the term "roguelike" came up with a set of definitions and loose standards. It's not perfect, but it helps keep perspective on what the term used to mean.
In the old Commodor64 game from the movie Labyrinth, if you got trapped in the Oubliette, you had to the option to call the elephant and it would sometimes bust you out. I wonder if all the elephants in the dungeon are an homage to that old game?
Could the elephant into a monkey be an Aladdin reference? Admittedly it was Babu the monkey that was turned into an elephant in the old Disney classic and not the other way around, but that's all I got for making sense of that. Well, that or it is entirely random what you get and if it is peaceful or hostile. Did anyone order a demon lord? lol
Aside from the ridiculous dancing every living thing in the dungeon does, it's a pretty cool game. May as well add a bunch of long hair to every thing so they can twirl it around like a death metal star.
I've played Zorbus and made it to the end, but now that I have made it to the end I just don't wanna play again... Even though items are randomised and you can start with a new character, the dungeon levels always have the same theme level per level. Thats pretty much my only complaint, if there were more lvls/random side lvls/trapped levels this game would be more enjoyable Later levels feel like they aren't dangerous at all if you have a decent run going so maybe make it tougher aswell, we're fighting gods at the end after all All in all, its pretty enjoyable at the start but gets repetitive towards the end, but for the price that Zorbus is selling at, its a pretty good game for your buck
There is a game called Pathos which is really similar to this game, and that game has a lot more random stuff going for it but also that game has a food management system so its way tougher Also Pathos is more difficult in general, but thats the fun in Pathos What Zorbus has that Pathos doesn't is better ai that make more sense in Zorbus, in Pathos it feels more randomised but in Zorbus there is a theme
Not sure what is, but something about the way that screen scrolls bugs my eyes. Wish it was more like the 8 bit zelda and the screen stayed in one position while you moved, until you go to the next room or screen.
Zorbus is closer to Dredmor than Dungeonmans. There is no overworld, so all you've got is a dungeon. There are a few skills and spells to use, similar to skill trees in Dredmor. Zorbus is much more challenging than both of these games, though.
even for traditional roguelike standards this one is looking ugly as F... but danm it looks like a fun one (and i cringed hard with a magic point on an orc melee guy). I'll deff give it a try but as for now the web site is not really working or so it seems. Anyways.. I really wanna give it a try
Stone shard has definitely spoilt me on modern roguelike visuals - this is barely an improvement on old school ascii. 😂 Caves is another one that does great lighting effects + visuals...
I think it's "roguelite" not "roguelike"? If I recall correctly Roguelite was an old video game from way back that the term is in reference to. Not trying to be that guy, just figured since you're bidness is video games you might like to know.
The original game was called "Rogue" and the genre is called "roguelike". "Roguelite" is a related but more difficult to define term. But Zorbus is definitely a roguelike. Look up "The Berlin Interpretation"
My favorite part was when splat said, "It's Zorbin time."
Seriously, I actually thought the name is Zorbius at first
Glad to see i wasn't the only person who heard that
Boated reply
And then he started zorbin all over the place.
definitely one of the let's plays of all time!

As long as they are well explained, I really appreciate QoL options in games. You had me interested like 2 minutes in.
Barthion is this Rorschach of this dungeon. Totally an 'He's not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with him' scenario.
Perfect mix of seriously well tailored gameplay and goofy characters and situations, love it.
This game is great. It's not just Zorb-me or Zorb-you... it's about Zorb-US.
Wow the pathing programming is exceptional. I really wish more games put as much care into the enemy AI.
Holy crap, the options menu is impressive. Definitely a good sign that the devs put a lot of love and careful consideration into this game.
The Dev should look into the legality of the names they're using for creatures and objects in this game. Urgrosh and Stirge for example may actually belong to Paizo and Wizards of the Coast, respectively. The game may be too small potatoes for those companies to bother with, but then again, maybe not. WotC in particular is actually a subsidiary _of_ Hasbro, and their legal team has no problems at all going after any- and everyone to protect their IP.
If the Dev wasn't making money off of the game it'd be less likely to be a problem, but the game's being sold on Steam.
I was going to say that about them using the terms aasimar and tiefling, pretty sure those are trademarked by whoever owns D&D now as those races were invented by D&D creators.
The vast majority of the monsters and races come directly from D&D, which is why I wonder why the dev doesn’t just make use of the Open Gaming License and make this an actual D&D game? The OGL would allow third party publishers to produce their own D&D games and modules without legal reprisal.
Yep, came to comments looking for something about this. So many things straight out of d&d. Stirge, giff, myconids, kenku....
I know that they have changed a lot of the monster and god names in this game for example Mindflayers are smth like squidfibbler and Orcus is names like Byurith
I was also surprised that they have lots of iconic monster names straight from d&d in this game but that makes it fun honestly

Even though items are randomised and you can start with a new character, the dungeon levels always have the same theme level per level.
Thats pretty much my only complaint, if there were more lvls/random side lvls/trapped levels this game would be more enjoyable
Later levels feel like they aren't dangerous at all if you have a decent run going so maybe make it tougher aswell, we're fighting gods at the end after all
All in all, its pretty enjoyable at the start but gets repetitive towards the end, but for the price that Zorbus is selling at, its a pretty good game for your buck

A number of the images (books, small shield, jackal, among others) are identical to DCSS. I hope the makers got permission to use these assets.

Yeah, the shoulder cape is so cool, it goes great with a fedora and katana combo

It's because his stats limited him to having only one companion at a time.
