William Henry Hairytaint posted:I think you're kind of an rear end if you leave a negative review after getting 800 hours out of something. Seriously, it's doubly funny for a game that is only 25$. It's entertainment at a cost of less than 3 cents an hour. There is no way to leave a bad review at that point and not come off as whiny.

Are there any rougelike games that have just tons of classes to pick and unlock? I want a game that has absolutely gimmick and joke classes and some that are just outright stupid/useless along with standard classes and OP classes.

Dungeon of Dredmor has gobs of different classes to choose from, but you don't have to do anything to unlock them, they're just what you assemble your character from at the start of the game. You can absolutely make a useless character if you want, just go whole hog on utility classes and neglect any means of actually killing things.

More thoughts about Achra gods: Angra is another weird one. I can't quite figure out what within the poison/blood line really benefits or synergizes with "all of your allies immediately murder themselves," except I guess maaaaybe Oozemancer? But I already ran an oozemancer, so instead what I latched onto was prayer #3. What's that you say, a single action that applies sickness to every enemy on the map?  This is actually a very annoying build to get running initially since it doesn't make much sense or work at all until you have both the prestige and prayer 3 up, but once you do: lol. Pray to afflict the entire map, then walk around in a circle generating free damage until you've Shazusa'd your way to victory.

But I already ran an oozemancer, so instead what I latched onto was prayer #3. very interesting, I haven't had any ideas about Angra either, so I'll have to think on it some. I just splatted a seemingly strong Saurian Secutor Bolga of Pallas (+Martial) off of the King, although it was going very well up to that point. Huge amounts of damage from lots of different types. I think what failed me in the end was low ice res, because, if you can believe this, Jawharas got me.

Big thanks to whoever it was that posted pokerogue a few pages back. This game is like the perfect distillation of all the good parts of pokemon without the tedium of the exploration and story. I’m having so much fun tearing through wild encounters with mons I hadn’t ever seen or used before. The constant forward pressure, limited starter choices, and random encounters all add up to forcing you to get flexible with whoever interesting shows up regarding team building and movesets. It’s cool! getting random eggs for future starters is very reminiscent of a “good” implementation of metaprog where you absolutely can win the game with only the initial starters, they’re all strong, but having more options is interesting. And the random pickups between battles give the same feel as floor items in a trad rl where the occasional rare drops can sometimes be game changers However I can’t say you’d have much fun if you somehow have never played a pokemon game… they really just throw you into the deep end.

Turin Turambar posted:From action roguelikes: A game that I love and want to play more of, as well as rarely see mentioned, might be up your alley if you're looking for some action: Heat Signature Also check out Roundguard for something unique. Turin Turambar posted:Then from true roguelikes, I only have played and liked enough to beat them a few, like Dredmor and Tangledeep. I liked Slay the Spire and Monster Train, but not as much as to play them again and again and get gud at them, so I only beat them on the first difficulty level. Golden Krone Hotel is incredibly accessible, has a wonderful consumable system, and is reasonable to complete without having to look anything up. For odd card games that are pretty satisfying to play through ~once; maybe check out Ring of Pain, Inscryption, Card Quest, Guild of Dungeoneering, or... BLOOD CARD 2: DARK MIST  And while I'm scrolling through my list of great RLs I rarely see mentioned, anyone play much MidBoss? I splatted a few runs way back, and it has a neat Demon/Buriedbornes-like ability slotting system.

TaintedBalance posted:I view RLs like crossword puzzles or sudoku. I do as much of them as I get out of it, and then drift to something else for awhile and come back. The mastery journey is its own reward, which does compel me to occasionally do challenge runs, but I also don't keep going if it starts feeling overly tedious. Tametsi (on steam)

Achra demo's wild, I'm really enjoying it, was skeptical but am now a believer. stupid idiot question: when would I ever want Inflexibility to be above 1? like sure, all the armor with Inflexibility 1+ is at least reasonably tempting, but halving my speed is not something I'm ever interested in unless I'm tanky enough that I should be able to win without the good armor. what am I missing? e: oh the below reply also reminds me, are the various unlocks tied to specific requirements or are they just "get X total glory" or something?

There are character creation options that directly benefit from higher inflexibility via stat bonuses or triggers based on it. For example, the Siku race makes it so inflexibility doesn't divide your willpower damage bonus anymore and also shoots ice bolts on stand still/being attacked that do damage based on your inflexibility.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Achra demo's wild, I'm really enjoying it, was skeptical but am now a believer. Yeah unlocks are just random, keep playing and you'll get them all. As well as a handful of character options and skills that benefit from inflexibility, there are also skills that reduce it, so you can take that armour if you want its effect

On cycle 1 you may not even have any points in Willpower at all, and speed can’t go below your minimum. Most builds want Technique anyway so that (and some other skills) pays for the increased inflexibility of certain items as well.i

DACK FAYDEN posted:Achra demo's wild, I'm really enjoying it, was skeptical but am now a believer. inflexibility is best treated as a kind of soft cap. there are skills that that reduce inflexibility, so you can wear inflexible armour without actually taking the penalty. Unless you're playing the ice guys or going all in on super heavy armour and maxing strength, inflexibility above 1 is basically a death sentence.

Aside from the various ways to mitigate the downside, inflexibility actually increases block, so a character who wants to stack block to the moon (Pallas, the "Valr" culture) has upside from taking it.
