every weapon in nongunz works like the rapier in dead cells. guaranteed crit for a short period after a roll. the guaranteed crits witha lvl 2 grenade launcher are pretty spicy.

Dead Cells, a game mentioned but not shown in that guys post, is actually insanely epic and one day I'm gonna get around to recording cool game play of it and make some drat believers out of you guys

I've played it and its drat good. Very fluid and fast which is why its confusing to compare it to dark souls.

a doom with random levels and guns in the same style as NT that's very easy to jump in and out of is my dream game

NT is awesome but it always makes me think "what if this was an fps"

someone could probably do it but with like every Roguelike game the run length is way too long. I think the reason NT is so godlike is that you can get to the last level in like 11 minutes and get there with a starting weapon basically. most games ive played are way too long and give you new crap way too slow

Yeah. I don't want a run length over 15 minutes if there's no saving

yeah its full of bullet sponge enemies that are boring to fight and you move like molasses. everything about that game is rear end and it sold itself in its marketing as a return-to-quake style shooter when it's enter the gungeon 3d lmao

the thing about nuclear throne is that it CAN give you powerful guns that wipe half the screen per shot, because you're always one mistake away from eating it so you feel powerful yet terrified at the same time.

it's harder to do that kind of game in an FPS format but it can be done. new DOOM on higher difficulty settings is basically this but it still has awkward platforming bits and some inconsistent pacing

youre a little too slow in ziggurat, lots of bad guns, like 5 different enemies and the boss balance is wack

I played Ziggurat a few times and it was fun enough but I got to the end and didn't really feel any desire to play it again. Agreed that it's just a bit too slow-paced and the guns aren't satisfying enough. also you're supposed to be a badass wizard but instead of the upgrades giving you cool spells you just get like +5% gold ratio and +0.01 mana

I liked Tower of Guns more despite the completely baffling decision to only give you one weapon at a time. Quintuple jumping out of the level boundaries and finding hidden areas ftw

Yeah I quit after I got to the final boss and it was a brutal bullet hell bullet sponge on easy. Game relies way too much on divine providence from the RNG to be fun and could use some gameplay tweaks.
