Sucks I'm working during the Indierect but I'm looking forward to seeing it. Indie games are often great.

I would say "on occasion" more than "often," though it's nice to have the few good ones highlighted so you don't have to sift through the shovelware.

just wait until you see Luigi!

Call me an optimist. That said your wording is more correct. I like the highlights as there they tend to have something redeeming about them.

I think what the switch is really missing a top down dungeon crawler shooter. Even better if it could have roguelike elements somehow

I'm guessing that's a joke that there are a lot of them but I only know of two (isaac and gungeon), I didn't know it was a wildly overexposed genre like indie metroidvania is.

Please be excited.



Even indie Metroidvania only has a handful of really big titles.

I want Assault Android Cactus. Mostly cause it isn’t a rogue like and doesn’t try to have RPG elements or anything afaik, just a straight arcadey game.

...I do agree that some of the areas were just slightly too big in terms of needing to get to one specific area and not having any convenient way to fast-travel there. overall a really fun game, though.

The dreamgate fixes the two places in the game where I felt this was an issue, the traitor lord boss fight, and the trek back to the grey mourner if you failed.

e: Oh and that one place in bottom-right of crystal peak with all the flipping platforms and the loving crystal hunters that take way too many hits to die for what little shits they are. :argh:

What we really need is a game about a sad boy or girl who moves to the right.

i think some people are probably afraid to use the dream gate because of the cost but it's so convenient and you get more than enough dream juice for everything

I was an idiot and just set it up in Dirtmouth and didn't even think of setting it up right before boss rooms.

The game should be way more clear about the fact that you can quit to menu at any time without losing anything (except your place on the map, since it just moves you back to the last bench you rested at).

Also that resting is what respawns most enemies...
