I really didn't vibe with the attrition system of RW1, so I'm glad it's removed in RW2!

Man that's sad. Revita's such a good game too but it sold like zero copies for whatever reason. I rank it as one of the very best action roguelites in every sense and has a huge amount of replayability. 2.0 is actually totally playable/complete but only in English, just opt into the beta branch.

Yeah I've been holding off on going back until 2.0 launched but now I guess the time to go back is now in Beta. Means that non-english, non-PC players miss out for sure though.

re: rift wizard I never would have bought it without this thread gushing about it and I loved it despite only ever being able to win by looking up builds. Spent a lot of time trying poo poo that didn't work and only ever won with lightning and summons. The changes outlined are pretty drastic changes to the core gameplay loop so I'm pretty excited they didn't just make 2 have more spells or something similarly uninspired. I'm hoping finding gear and only having one upgrade allows you to lean in more on builds built around things you find rather than committing to a build floor one and peeking shrines.

Yeah, it sounds like the idea is to bend the game towards a more improvisational style where you have to play your build by ear more, not to kill off tall builds altogether (because Dylan White is a coward.)

Started playing a lil Nova Drift again after they added swords, did not use swords in this run but did nearly double my high score. the last twenty minutes or so of this was sweaty - I could have gone a little further if I had picked some different mods somewhere, I think, but the boss/enemy combo in the screenshot is a mess to deal with with Salvo. Really wish I had gotten the upgrade that would have made my shots fragment into smaller ones, may have cleared out the mess a little more effectively.

Nova Drift is one of those rare games that nails what it does perfectly, pure gameplay, no bullshit. Each time I pick it back up it's impossible to play just one run

I'm still having a blast with Astrea and am trying to finally get a win on the 5th character Sothis. It's like my brain constantly miscounts enemy health by 1 or I lose by a single turn. The relief mechanic happening at the end of the enemies turn always gets me because they'll get healed for one corruption from Affliction before it takes effect. Or they over corrupt and blast me. Loving the way the character difficulty ramps up so far.

Something to be aware of with Nova Drift is that it's a potential trigger if you have photosensitivity. For me, it causes migraines; I have a friend with epilepsy who absolutely cannot afford to look at it. I seem to recall hearing that they added a reduced-intensity graphics option, but I haven't given it a shot.

Didn't think to just bring it up in this thread but I made a thread for Quasimorph. It's a dystopian sci-fi top down RPG where you run a mercenary company in the dystopian future where demons from another dimension are starting to show up. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4043576 Rather difficult but still fun. Your mercenaries are clones and you lose all equipment on death.

It's like my brain constantly miscounts enemy health by 1 or I lose by a single turn. Sothis is really fun. He can get extremely powerful if you build towards Soul Heat, but it's pretty touch-and-go and requires Distortion Hieroglyph because there's absolutely going to be turns where you have multiple "reduce by 3" or "reduce to 0" mandatory die which will scuttle your run. My first non-astrea run was just by jamming every chanting die I could get my hands on. More recently I nearly cleared Anomaly 5 / Astrea 4 with him but made a really dumb gamble with Bloody Solstice (double your damage and relief next turn, lose one heart if you don't end the turn with exactly X Soul Heat). Every character gets a lot of cool dice actions as you level them up which I really like.

Mortal Sin is pretty decent. Paladin feels ridiculously strong compared to the other options though, easily cleared hard mode and the bonus ending with them but struggle to get past the like third area as anyone else.

Captain Foo posted:Warning forever? Oh man, it's been a while since I thought about Warning Forever! I played it so much when it came out, despite really disliking bullet hell games. As a reminder for the Nethack players, next friday is the 13th & a New Moon so be sure to come prepared. A while ago people were talking about making a thread for old school roguelikes. It seems useful but I was busy when the conversation was ongoing and I don't know how how folks feel about it now that they've had some time to let it simmer. If so, I'll work on making an OP.

FINALLY rolled credits on Shiren 5! Took a lengthy break from this after a few very close escapes. Thankfully I had equipped myself properly to win, just had to make it to Riva and beat him down. Since the sequel was announced I've been meaning to finish the main dungeon before release, didn't think it'd happen so quick.

Austra is wild. Just got a 5 Corruption/4 Heart win with her. She's obviously completely broken if you get Sun Eye or Moon Eye, but I didn't get those until Ground Zero and ended the run with zero Sky Piercer. . Any kind of Meteor Rain build is the most consistent on her just because there's so many ways to convert them into a positive action (as long as you are able to shield yourself) which is a shame -- confuse builds seem good but I have to get Doubt Dispeller early to be able to make it. I have tried multiple times to do a Favorable Winds build but you build it up so slowly and the Epic die you draw have a good chance of being archetypes you aren't built for so I can't see it working out.
