streets of rogue manages to be the best zombie apocalypse simulator out there without that even being the main focus of the game. i love playing as the zombie.

Tendales posted:Golden Krone Hotel just a new update. There's a few new possible side branches, some balance tweaks, and a bunch more possible opening floors. I thought the game was basically done, so it's nice to see it getting a bit of love. This is another one that just wholly eludes me. I love the ambiance of the game. Just can't get anything in it. Lol.

It's weird, but I beat that one on my very first try--I must have gotten crazy lucky. But then I've never been motivated to go back and play it again because of that.

A man who knows when to go out on top. Sometimes I wish I knew to do this instead of chasing that the dream of topping my best win in a game.

golden krone hotel trims away a lot of the extraneous stuff to focus wholly on the strategy of managing your space and your various tools, with the gimmick of the shifting sunbeams streaming in through the windows as time passes being a really fun thing to work with/around depending on whether or not you're a vampire

I just like it because Golden Krone Hotel is the least threatening, least evocative name I can think of for a roguelike or a vampire game

juggalo baby coffin posted:man i suck at skul the hero slayer The first... dozen times I fought the Ent I either got my rear end kicked or barely won. The next ten I won, but still barely. Then I learned his pattern and rarely lost. He very much punishes you for trying to maximize DPS. If you take your time and just pluck away at him a couple times between his attacks you'll whittle him down. Then the next boss is two people at once and the same thing started again and I stopped playing for awhile.

juggalo baby coffin posted:i finally beat the end and managed to get all the way to the next boss and yeah.. idk how to even start handling that. i even got enough skull shards to upgrade the ghost rider skull and even that couldnt help me Skul bosses are all about safe play- it's only gonna get worse after the sisters (and I mean almost immediately, since the adventurer fight mid-stage 3 is still very, very rough, even after being nerfed multiple times.) Your first couple attempts are gonna be about simply learning the pattern That said, a big help is learning synergies, especially ones that increase damage or have inscriptions that boost your offensive oomph. Since avoidance is kinda king in Skul, that means the faster you end fights the less chances you have to screw up dodging. Defense and sustain are good and useful tools, but it's no replacement for just not being there. Likewise, Skulls that let you deal damage while staying pretty mobile tend to be among the strongest Skulls in the game- despite being a common Skull, the Skeleton Pike fully-upgraded is arguably the strongest and easiest way to get your first win in the game, especially if you can find enough jumping/dashing synergies. Early in the run, I would prioritize room rewards in order of Skulls -> Money -> Equipment. Skull rooms mean 1) Chances at strong skulls, which is the biggest run changer, and 2) Bone chips from bad skulls, letting you make good skulls you do have better. Money is useful because safe zone shopping is real strong in this game, especially once you've unlock all the functions of the rest stop, s it's likely more valuable to have a little extra cash on hand to buy something you actually need then a piece of random equipment unless you're already rolling in bank. Later on, you can move up equipment if you're finding yourself particularly item-starved as you enter the later chapters (or need to hunt down one last item or insignia to complete a build) and move down Skulls depending on if the ones you're using are fine with just being Rare upgrades or really, really want to reach their legendary form. Also, don't feel bad about failing a lot early. Skul is unfortunately kind of ruled by it's metaprogression- the Skul at the start of the game is embarrassingly weak and would struggle to beat the game even in an experienced player's hands, while the Skul at the end of the skill tree... honestly feels like the character they intend you to finally beat the game with.

Also, there's a Giant Assed/Boned Skul update coming out any day now unto likely next week that will overhaul most key aspects of the game with extra finery and polish, Yet Again, so woes up to now may well soon come to be rendered moot with only jubilant spectacle and escalation awaiting~ Some of the best post-release support outright as far as games in this spirit could hope to manifest.

I got to like Ascension 3 and figured I'd seen basically everything the game had to offer, didn't find it very interesting.

I do not recommend ADOM but it was in a recent humble bundle so there are probably cheap keys floating around, if you really want it.

Picked up Vault of the Void after seeing some chatter in here a while ago. Seems pretty fun. Beat Normal mode my first run, which wasn't particularly difficult (by design obviously) but the Void fight was still pretty down to the wire. Would have lost if I didn't draw the exact bleed cards I needed on the last turn. Pretty unique game, I think people who just say it's a straight up StS clone are doing it a disservice even if it's obviously inspired by it.

The Demoncrawl Halloween event has begun. New goals this year, all of last year's cosmetics are in prize box rotation* now, and there's a new stage/unlock, The Basement, with its own boss who spawns if you find a hidden key and open a Trapdoor in stages. * before someone thinks it's some monetization poo poo: clearing the infinite quests or post-game modes just gives you a roll of loot, including avatars, paint, and a chance at the toggle for alternate versions of items. Which are a selectable on/off, so it's not just clogging the drop pool. claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Oct 16, 2021 |

Picked up Golden Krone Hotel. The gameplay between Vampire and Human is interesting. What I did not expect was a great soundtrack. I'm really impressed so far.

I put a lot of time into it and beat ascension 20 before the patches that changed it, added omens, nerfed speed buffs a lot, and added the screwy final boss I had a lot of fun with it, still don’t know how to use some of the classes optimally!
