Because a person bound by the logic of the real world would not have created Tactical Nexus. The DLC pricing is actually fair right now, though I don’t think it would be if they actually went through with raising the prices over time. The game is ludicrously long and full of content.

I picked up Tactical Nexus for a short moment in 2019 and almost 600 hours of my life vanished in a very short period of time. I think this is a recommendation to not play it??? idk you're an adult, do what you want

I tried the demo and that UI sure is a choice. To the point where it's making me not want to play. Lost an hour somehow though. Probably just passed out for a bit.

Tactical Nexus has the graphics, sound design, and resolution support of a freeware game from 2006, but if you can get past that there's a really compelling game. There is also a thread for it but it's inactive at the moment.

Reading that OP the metaprogression systems in the game seem really interesting, especially the part where runs not using the metaprogression medals earns another type of metaprogression currency.

Yeah, Tactical Nexus is genuinely great. It also has a huge free demo. Definitely play it (and join the Discord) if you liked Tower of the Sorcerer and/or Desktop Dungeons.

Development on new DLC for Tactical Nexus is currently stalled, as the devteam is working on migrating their chosen language, a freeware BASIC derivative used to teach programming to Japanese children in the mid-90s and without support for modern niceties such as local variables, to 64 bits. This is actually true.

Oh, oh no. I'm in the demo and I just realized just how optimized this can get when I rewound a room to get a golden feather earlier. And with the multiple floors! I'm going to need a notebook. e: oh, and tracking what to choose at each level to maximize returns. This is disgusting. LawfulWaffle fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jun 23, 2022 |

They ARE reasonably community-involved, though, taking advice and responding on Twitter with (Google-translated) posts. Also, several features have been added since the game released based entirely on community requests and feedback, which wouldn't be that notable except that, you know, the game looks very basic and the devs are a weird Japanese collective.

I got like 7 hours out of Devil Spire a few months ago, it's pretty fun but not particularly challenging. Magic seemed mostly useless but melee was ridiculously strong.

Since there is talk of Tactical Nexus, I'll just leave this here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/351330/DROD_RPG_Tendrys_Tale/ The Caravel forums have a bunch of fanmade campaigns that you can lose many hours to.

8.4 hours played on Tactical Nexus demo... think I might have to NOT buy the game. Or maybe buy it as thanks for the demo and not install it.

Anyone know how close Last Spell is to release? All my favorite doomed world games I'm interested in are still in EA (Against the Storm, Age of Darkness)

Here's a big effortpost I made about Devil Spire in a different thread. TL;DR: it's very close to a great game but it doesn't do anything to challenge the player and it gives you way too many tools for dealing with its obstacles. That being said I haven't played it since March.deep dish peat moss posted:Devil Spire is great but heads up to potential players, it gives you far too many tools to overcome its obstacles and if you can't resist minmaxing or powergaming or whatever it becomes too easy, you have to purposefully restrict yourself from engaging with some of its tools/mechanics for it to stay challenging. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Jun 24, 2022 |

In Dungeonmans the classes have different difficulties next to them: I just wanted to clarify I assume its "this class is harder to play" not "the game will be increase difficulty (like enemy stats for example) by playing the class? Also in Rift Wizard, is there a way I can see what units are allies? I love the game but I sometimes get confused whats friendly and what isnt especially when possessing other monsters

Yes, although I'll note that since you can level into anything you want the difficulty is really just about how hard it is to get off the ground.

So, I just picked up Revita after seeing it talked about in this thread and have an embarrassing problem that a quick google search doesn't seem to help me figure out. How the heck do I dash? The tutorial shows an up arrow, but it's not the directional arrow up, and its not the numpad 8.

I think like theres a heart for wolves youve summoned for instance. e: oh wait i was beaten before i started!
