If you want this game to be a challenge, turn on permadeath and play as Yves.

 It does count as a bomb blast so if you have that ring that protects you from explosions you're safe while using it.

Frankston posted:Yeah the rings & boots & torches didn't really make a blind bit of difference to how I was playing and a lot of the time I didn't even notice if I didn't have any equipped. A lot of the unlockable items seemed pointless too: Rito feather, the deku leaf, fire and ice rods in particular. Also the flippers which I didn't get until after I beat the game. I can't imagine how you say half those items are pointless. the feather alone lets you take hilarious shortcuts

Your Computer posted:Not to mention how insanely overpowered it is once you get the down thrust, since you can jump on an enemy and then just jump from head to head completely invulnerable So about this item in question I found the feather decently early but was never really able to make good use out of it for shortcuts. The jumping mechanic never seemed to work in a way I expected to so I unequipped. Though I got the down thrust very late but I could set least see the synergy with that even though I didn't get to use much

How do you make the jump actually jump in a useful way? Do you have to charge it or something?

You do not need rumble  also I went through the place before getting the item anyway...

I got a Permadeath win!  2 hours and 17 minutes, 4th best out of 8 in the world who have completed it as Cadence. A lot like the regular game, once you get a titanium weapon and a couple bottles you're *mostly* set, but I still came pretty close to losing several times.

This item didn't work at all like I figured it was supposed to (and really like everyone would've assumed). Instead of it being like the Roc's Feather, it doesn't give you a jump. It's a "dodge". So you just use it to dodge an attack.

It also gives a jump. You can use it to hop up certain rocks without doing associated puzzles

Yeah at first I thought it was useless because I couldn't use it to jump up areas where you'd usually use rock steps but it actually gives you a halfstep jump which means you can use it to jump on a step that you would otherwise end up pushing, so it helps with a couple puzzles.

Ok so I feel totally lost in this game. Once you pick your character, what the gently caress do I do? I just feel like I'm wandering aimlessly. I haven't found any dungeons yet. I know the maps are random, so you can't tell me exactly what to do, but which dungeon should I hit first? Where is it generally located, like what area. I'll take any nudge in the right direction.

If you find a house with a big eye on it you can get your fortune told by the old lady inside and she will mark a dungeon on the map for you. However, if you want items just look around for purple chests, or blue ones if you are looking for a weapon.

2p mode is not great, because one of the two heroes doesn’t start with a weapon. And that’s incredibly frustrating. Otherwise I love it.

Imo, the Boomerang is the worst item for Link. Don't pick it up in dungeon unless you have a better choice.

Playing this through on permadeath after my first time through and yep, this is definitely how its supposed to be played.  I hope this does well for the indie studio behind this, I haven't seen much discussion about it at all...

Not sure if this was intentional or not but it sure felt like a callback. https://clips.twitch.tv/ElatedDoubtfulSpiderMVGame Started my first seeded run and stuff is way more different than I expected. I thought that the predetermined overworld tiles would be shuffled around but it looks like all the tiles themselves are randomized too. Seems like a ton of replay value if you're into that sort of thing.

I really wish they had put more uses for diamonds in the game, a dedicated restocking weapon shop would have done wonders, especially when you only really find a ton of worthless feeling glass. The fact that you can have up to 3 full heals that prevent death and a lot of hp makes it feel extra eh.

After beating the game with no problems I started the single character mode as the deku scrub and this is more than challenging enough. I keep dying over and over again, in true necrodancer fashion. I love it.

I finished my first run of this missing a single heart piece and so far I've wasted four hours trying to figure out what I could have missed. Edit: I guess that I shouldn't assume it's even possible to get 100% items on every run. Some of those heart pieces came from shops, so maybe there's randomness to that too.

Messed around with single character permadeath mode last night and if anyone was worried this game wouldn't be hard that's definitely gonna do it, nothing like wandering a few screens away from the start and encountering a black lynel

I cannot stop moving my scroll wheel to the beat of the music even after I put the game down. Game is fantastic, music is great. It's a bit short, but that's fine.

I got to octavo last night at the end of my first run and died for the first time since I got a proper weapon. what on Earth are you supposed to do about the musical notes? They're color coded so I assume you're supposed to swap characters to get through each wave? The part that confused me was definitely when it started mixing the waves together

The answer to the question under the spoiler is yes.

I died to the glockenspeil boss a few times and Octavio once before I figured out the spoilered text. I kind of am wishing the rest of the bosses were up to the glockenspiel level - I pretty much blinked and the bass guitar boss was dead and the oboe boss I thought was phase 1 of a bigger fight.

This game is great but it also makes me want to go back and play more Necrodancer. I could never make it past like the second boss in that game. Fortunately Nintendo selling it for $4 right now pretty much makes this a no brainer.

RyokoTK posted:Permadeath mode seems to have a higher base level of difficulty than regular, or maybe it's the difference between story and single-character. The shops are twice as expensive and late-game palette swaps were spawning right from the start. I got a couple of hours into a run today and It also has pallete swapped tougher versions of the bosses. Hopefully they add a way to play with all of that stuff in regular story mode as a middle ground difficulty.

Getting a palette-swapped Lynel in the first screen right of Link's house was a bit of an eye-opener. which is to say... I made it more than 2 screens only once in half a dozen attempts

I think that might just be a part of how it's seeded. The main story mode is very specifically tuned for difficulty and item location, but if you in put a random seed it switches everything up. During my first seeded normal playthrough I was seeing enemies that I never even saw while playing the default story mode.

For those of you who said it's a super short and easy game, I assume you come onboard with a shitload of Necrodancer experience? 'Cause I'm at 4 hours and like 49 deaths and haven't got one dungeon finished yet. Slowly getting attack patterns down.

I didn't have much Necrodancer experience, mainly it's because it's very easy to get the snowball rolling once you start finding/buying the right stuff. And once you get set up you can finish the entire rest of the game real fast. Also it helps if you keep exploring, I kept beating my head into one side of the map and it turns out that the entire other 50% of the map was way easier than any of the tiles I was trying.

Never played Necrodancer but for me this game went from nut bustingly difficult at the start to being almost disappointingly easy once I got an Obsidian Spear. I’m still having an absolute blast with the game but I’m hoping it gets a bit more challenging without having to artificially gimp myself by using a different weapon.
