In real things of The Real, Shadow of the Wyrm has a nice Myriad Polishing & Such Update out: https://www.shadowofthewyrm.org/ I enjoy the synchronicity of it becoming more full fledged as the hulking Biskup's Monster of ADOM Ultimate also arrives at key final junctions on the road of Early Access. All we need is for Axu's dev to liven back up as Qud continues apace and all is well*.

So how about Crown Trick? It's cool. The UI and polish level is insane; very aspirational for me as a dev. Everything is clear and well-defined. I love the environmental effects and how each weapon feels so distinct. It definitely doesn't feel like a traditional dungeon crawler, if that makes sense, more like a puzzle-roguelike... Sproggiwood might be the closest analogue (cardinal movement online, no health regeneration, relatively small pool of items + abilities to rely on, minimal equipment, short runs.) The break system is cool too. I don't love *everything* about it. Weapon types that can attack diagonally are obviously OP, since nothing else can hit diagonally. Also, I haven't beaten the first dungeon yet because I keep eating poo poo when I encounter certain bosses that have auto-targeting attacks. I can't seem to figure out the logic for how or why I'm getting hit. I'm sure I'll figure it out but it seems like a weird glaring flaw for now.

Speaking of Let It Die, what other good roguelikes/lites are on ps4? I'm working away from home 12 hr shift days and games I can do a run or 2 of are the only ones I really have time to play. I've been playing GalakZ which in spite of being ugly as sin is actually super fun, I finally beat 2-1 this morning so I'm looking forward to finally seeing what's next. I also got The Long Journey Home, been doing the tutorial, hard game till you get used to its physics. I've had rogue legacy and binding of Isaac forever so I'm pretty done with those. I've heard some things about moonlighter, but I'm not sure it's my bag.

But for example I keep dying to Poseidon from his rush attack and I can't figure out what triggers it. It's not a charge attack.

I enjoyed it enough to play it one time through which was maybe like 10-15 hours.

I've heard some things about moonlighter, but I'm not sure it's my bag. There are plenty of great roguelites available that a couple of "best roguelites" Google search will help you with, but if you or anyone is interested in as traditional a roguelike experience as you can on this platform, the pickings are truly slim from what I've played: Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics is great; it's a reworking of One Way Heroics. Unfortunately it messed up a bunch of stuff from OWH, the best version is on PC called One Way Heroics+. BUT if you haven't played that I still think it's a really nice game and it has a bunch of features and polish too, you won't notice any problems without the other title to reference. The way it plays will seem strange at first if you're not familiar, but it quickly becomes intuitive. Quest Of Dungeons is an extremely by-the-book roguelike with not much going for it, but could be a fun challenge if you get it on sale. Caution with Dragon Fin Soup. At a glance it looks like the business, but (and apologies because it's been a few years), I remember getting seriously frustrated with it, like it has some fundamental issues that make it not fun to play. Touhou Genso Wanderer -Reloaded- is a fairly decent roguelike in the vein of the Shiren style, and has a decent amount of content and classic mechanics to be enjoyable but the Touhou theme, for this goon at least, makes it much less enjoyable. Dragon Fang Z is another Shiren style RL that doesn't have much going for it. That's all I can think of for now. Like I say, slim pickings. The only game I'd really rate out of this bunch is One Way Heroics, which is definitely a must buy, the rest may appeal if you're big into trad roguelikes.

"What if more people lost it tried to make something like Omega and ADOM and Elona, instead of comparably endless *BANDs/puzzlers/Semi-Fushigi's/etc." Singular dev vision, piece by piece getting a world built and adventuring to be had in it while being very friendly/receptive to feedback to further polish and enrich it. Tiles are relatively new even---IIRC the other prospective Big Something somewhere on the horizon is Music and/or Sound.

It had the makings of something good but I think the game was abandoned on release so none of the bugs or graphical issues got fixed. Also on the vita. I wish I could find a physical copy of Shiren for Vita somewhere at that. Gungeon was on sale so I bought that. Great stuff so far.

It is a good game, a different approach mind, but clearly building towards something solid---fair company with Dreamscaper in that respect, though each brings VASTLY different resources and design reckonings to the party. Both games love them some parries and deflects~ Latest Armory update spiced up the arsenal a fair bit alongside enabling gimmick runs...main thing it needs is more/new content as the existing pair of Temples have been there awhile even through their various modest renovations.

Yea I have been playing more of it lately after the latest armory update, adding a couple new weapon types did a lot to help, though it could still use more for sure. I do agree with the above post though, the 3rd temple in the next patch is sorely needed but there's no ETA for it yet. The next update after that is supposed to be the release one which will add the real final boss and mixed temples which should do a ton to increase run variety. It's a fun game, though I'd put it decently high on the difficulty curve, at least compared to something like Hades.

I'm trying to get an answer to a question about Synthetik but literally nobody seems to know the answer, even on their discord so I guess I can try here just in case. Is there any way of telling which way a demolisher's resonance target will drift after you activate it or is it just random? If feels like there's some kind of system to it but I can't figure it out.

If there is a pattern I have never discerned it. I think a lot of the weirdness comes from the way they interact with each other - they slide apart like physics objects, if that makes sense.

The only thing I noticed is that if there are several resonance points then the other ones will be pushed away from an explosion, but I haven't managed to figure out how the activated resonance point will drift. Which is very annoying because sometimes I aim for killing something with like, grenade launcher shot - resonance - resonance but the first resonance explosion will make it drift away from my target and whiff completely.

That's a shame. Much like Darkest Dungeon 2, I would have liked to be part of early access, but the EGS is just too awful for me to ever buy a game on it.

I don't think there's a specific release date, but I think it should be sometime next year since they were originally aiming for Q4 2020. As for how it's shaping up, I enjoy it a lot and I still load it up from time to time, but I think it's always going to suffer from limited replay value. It's a hard game, but it's possible to win reasonably often once you know what all the options do and what items you should get (and it helps when you unlock a couple of the useful city locations that are tied to achievements, which is definitely the worst kind of metaprogression). The combat's very basic and 99% of the time it really just boils down to choosing the appropriate defensive action and then stringing together as many accurate attacks as you can. It's still buggy right now (the broken save/load mechanic was temporarily removed outright in the last update, there's still a few bugs with the combat, etc.) but AFAIK it's feature complete. I think whether or not it's worth getting is entirely a matter of whether or not you're willing to pay $15 for 9 or 10 interactive Junji Ito comics. I think that's a great deal, but I'm a cosmic horror nerd and I love the game's look and music. Also the ending is incredibly lame but I'm hoping that'll get jazzed up a little.

Most of the reviews are people complaining about the game design but let's not kid ourselves, this is the kind of game you put on a big screen with a bunch of friends, kick back with a beer, and just enjoy the weird scenarios and cool aesthetic for an hour or two.

I managed to get a win in Angband: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=23999 After my failed paladin run earlier, I decided since I wasn't using spells effectively I'd try just running a high elf warrior, and I made it down to DL 98 before dying to Wiruin the Maelstrom because I didn't teleport away after its first breath attack hit me and I ate a second. Then I decided I should try a dwarf priest, and after the first one died of a fatal wound on the first floor everything went pretty smoothly. Being able to spam banish evil and destruction made clearing vaults a lot easier. I was having a hard time figuring out if I was ready to tackle the last two levels, but after reminding myself that I could just destroy everything and escape if I was careful I went for it. Took Sauron down with melee surprisingly easily, ran a couple more vaults for consumables, accidentally destroyed my wands of draining/annihilation with failed recharges, then extremely slowly took down Morgoth with my inadequate supply of arrows and a million orb casts. I'm not sure I really enjoyed that fight, but it was definitely tense - when I started burning through items and his health was barely moving I was starting to think about whether I'd go with ranger or mage for the next run. I'll probably take a breather to play something else for a while first, but I'm pretty interested in digging through some of the forks or Moria at some point.

God Teleglitch was/is great. It's such an obviously small studio (single guy?) endeavor with a narrow scope and totally nails it. I'd pay good money for a patch/dlc that adds more radomization to it so that I can keep playing it forever. It's realtime, but everyone in this thread should play it.
