FTL

Actually don't show me how to play on normal. Perhaps it is more in the spirit of this thread to have you try out less well known games.

Here's how others play me on normal. I really enjoyed that LP, and I got to be a mantis captain too starting at 5-2 :)

Convoy but slightly more interesting but much more luck based.

Galak-Z looks pretty fun. It's a got a good cartoon aesthetic. Shame to hear it doesn't have an ending though.

Throw in a vote for FTL for balance.

Also jumping on the "don't play FTL, everyone has already" train.
Galak-Z looks really fun, but I can't stand the lazy spritework they've done with the characters. One expression that never quite fits their dialogue or situation, that awful thing where they distort the sprites to give the impression of having actually drawn more than one frame, and using separate rotating sprites for limbs so that Beam's elbows spin around in all sorts of unnatural ways every time she points at something. Full points for fun looking gameplay despite this.

Galak-Z's character artwork is kind of wack but for some reason I like it more for that.

DSD definitely looks like a less in-depth sci-fi darkest dungeons. What's on the roadmap? It seems interesting enough, and the aesthetic is pretty good...

DSD is pretty alright. Once it's out of early access it might be worth checking out. According to the developer's website the full release is in September of this year.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I have a soft spot for Zeno Clash, so Spartan Fist it is.

Crazy Achmed

Oh god, deep sky has the same awful paper-doll rotating limbs spritework going on :bahgawd: It just looks incredibly silly... I dunno, I guess to me it only really works if the art style is meant to be like that (paper mario, scribblenauts etc.). Beautiful comic book style, otherwise! The biff/whammo stills when you play a card are, on the other hand, a great way of minimising artwork without making things look weird.

Yeah, Galak-Z has a really cool saturday morning cartoon aesthetic going on! It's such a pity they didn't have a bit more funding to just, well draw a few more porttrait stills for the characters.

Hmm, both 20xx and Spartan Fist sound interesting. 20xx seems like it would work really well and be a fun game, assuming it's not made by the kind of person who likes spikes way too much, but first person punching sounds more innovative and intriguing.

:siren: TWIN STICKS & GENERIC GAMES :siren:

Monsters and Monacles
Monsters and Monocles is a frantic top-down shooter for 1-4 players. Use teamwork and your arsenal of weapons to defeat the overwhelming hordes of evil, either locally or online. All the levels are procedurally generated with new layouts, objectives, and secrets each time you play.

Ruin of the Reckless
Ruin of the Reckless is a breakneck-paced, melee-focused roguelike brawler with very light persistent progression elements and a punishing difficulty curve. Play with a friend!

Legend of Dungeon
Legend of Dungeon is a randomly generated action RPG Beat'em'up with heavy Rogue-like elements, striking visuals, and dynamic music.

Not bad. Not exactly to my taste (the particle and blur effects are a bit much) and kind of short, but a decent game all the same.

I think I heard Legend of Dungeon was cool so let's go with that.

Wow, Legend of Dungeon looks like a nothing of a game. I guess when I read the description I was hoping for something more like that action RPG you played earlier in the thread, the one that has incomprehensible controls, but at least they were trying something.

Gotta vote bombslinger because a bomberman roguelite sounds like it has a lot of potential for greatness.

Gotta vote for Bombslinger because there aren't too many bomberman-type games. I expect it to not be that good but hope to be proven wrong.

:siren: POLLING STATION :siren:

Nuclear Throne
Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike-like top-down shooter. Not 'the final hope of humanity' post-apocalyptic, but 'humanity is extinct and mutants and monsters now roam the world' post-apocalyptic. Fight your way through the wastelands with powerful weaponry, collecting radiation to mutate some new limbs and abilities.

The Weaponographist
Play as Doug McGrave, famous demon hunter for hire. Highest level, bestest gear, ruggedly handsome, and unrepentant jerk. For refusing to aid one stinking demon-infested town, you are immediately – and deservedly – cursed. Your powers, your wealth, and your weapons… Poof! Gone.

GoNNER
GoNNER is a tough as hell procedurally-generated 2D platformer with roguelike elements, following the largely misunderstood and altruistic Ikk on a journey to cheer up his only friend in this world - a giant landbound whale named Sally - by searching for just the right trinket in the deep and dark places nearby.
