Oh hell ya. I do easy runs all the time now because the blessings lead to some fun combos. Got something to try now

I would like to know more about this?

So there's a mode, custom party, and while you can go for five blue heroes, proooobably it'd be best to include a yellow or an orange just to make sure you have a physical damager to beat up thorns and stuff. I forget if people mostly recommend orange or yellow.

Honestly I'm also on the "just use 5 mages" train, thorns are somewhat uncommon and there are enough mages that can deal with it

Count me in on asking when the next update is. Not that it needs it, I just want some more content! Feature requests (I only play Blursed):

Remind me when I start with an item in Blursed and don't equip it. Not that I need it on a level 1 fight, but it would make me feel better. The game reminds me every other time an item is newly acquired and isn't equipped so I imagine it's just a matter of adding a flag to the first fight.

"You can only keep 0 mana". I know, all my spells cost 2 minimum, there's nothing I can do with this 1 mana!

Move "all enemies shield 1 whenever any enemy dies" and "all enemies shield 1 on getting hurt" to tier 2 or just removd it altogether because I'm not smart enough to figure out the combat math puzzle as it is.

oh poo poo I didnt realise custom let you use multiple same colour classes?? What's the strategy with four blues? Do you just try to rush damage and kill everything before your health runs out?

Yep. Take curses that lower your dudes’ durability, increase enemy damage, or cause damage over time, don’t touch anything that added foes or toughens them up. Use all your mana to burn ‘‘em down! Cast blaze three times in one turn!

More or less. On Unfair in particular the goal is to suicide bomb the other side in 1-2 turns which means abusing powerful pain sides and letting your dudes die on the regular in favor of all-out offense

Bug report (Android): If you have two of the same item they both show up in your inventory but one will disappear when you move them around or equip them. I've had this happen with two Angel Feathers and two Coiled Snakes.

^ In Hypercursed, got an item and a blessing together after a boss battle. The item was Angel Feather and the blessing was... a permanent Angel Feather.

Another time I had Coiled Snake from a curse and got a second one from an event that also gave me a Chainmail.

Yooo so I beat unfair followed by brutal. 1 run each. 4 blue and a red is a pro gamer strategy.

Now I get to play Heaven mode. Thanks dude! Not touching hell mode lol.

It's actually possible with non-random characters, isn't it? Leader with Silk Cape and Poseidon's Trident would have Cleave Reuse on the middle side.

The level 1 item that just swaps left & middle is also handy for this, much easier to arrange than Cape.

Got my first 100+ Blursed run. I didn't get Bolt until the fifth cycle, oddly. Don't remember much else about it except that on run 4 I got Charged Hammer and Blue Skink - turns out that 15 shield sides with Repel are fairly good - and at one point I clowned Hexia by putting cleave on an "add self-heal/self-shield" side.

Congrats!

I like Blursed a lot because it gets right down to the concentrated essence of Slice & Dice: taking a big pile of broken bullshit against a big pile of broken bullshit and seeing which side is more bullshit.

I don't like blursed personally but I'm glad I added it because a lot of people love it! It's fun to include any easy-to-add and potentially-interesting modes, though the game becomes a bit of a mess :)

Working on more weird "modding" stuff. I'm not quite sure what these will be used for but you can, for example, create a custom dungeon with custom fights/rewards and share it via copy/paste. The messagephase pops up a little box in the rewards section that can say whatever. But you can add any phase, like levelup hero, random challenge, custom-defined challenge/rewards etc.

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
I've been playing this a lot and love it but I have this complaint: it is way too easy to click through Start -> Yes instead of Continue and overwrite a lot of progress in an extended run. This also seems to happen if you just click on a game mode to see what it is while you have a game going in another. It'd be nice if it was either harder to inadvertently reset a run or easier to undo a reset.

I like the endless aspect of Blursed. Getting a streak in any roguelike is rewarding, but I really like how Blursed lets you carry over things from run to run.

Is there really any reason to have separate modes for Blursed and Cursed instead of just one mode with different difficulty options? It's the same ruleset other than extra starting blessings for Blursed, same as the difficulty selection on other modes.

(i ask mainly because if it was a difficulty selector then it could be added to cursed-hyper so that we could play blursed-hyper without clogging up the new game menu further)

Each game mode has its own save slot, so you can put down a cursed run for a bit and play some random or a paste without losing your progress
