I've been forcing myself to use Max to try and figure him out and I just got my first Hardest difficulty win with Dizzy, Riggs, and Max. I've been using him as an enabler, but you can do some bonkers damage with Dice Roll A. It's 0 energy discard 2 cards attack 2, so essentially once you've played out the rest of your hand it can convert "extra" cards in to attacks. I also had a Harder win with Riggs, Drake, Max where I used him a bit differently. I got Clean Exhaust which makes all of your Exhaust or Single use cards free and the Max artifact that lets you make one of your cards buoyant. After that I took every expensive exhaust card that came my way since I could spam them all for free. I do think that run was carried by sticking Serenity in the Duplitron though and never having to worry about heat again.

The Rage Prisma burden gift  It looks like TVRUHH had some balance changes too, I'm noticing a few gifts have different numbers than they used to. The gift that boosts your charge damage went from +12% to +15% for instance.

I really like that burdens aren't just strictly negative too. Like some just make things more chaotic but are pretty easy to deal with and end up helping you. Just a lot of fun variety and things can get pretty chaotic. Even the "gently caress you" burdens end up making me laugh more than anything.

KNR posted:Just did Guardian 2 with Elementalist by going all in on mantra cycling. The mantra gun perk gives a reload, infinite ammo and extra projectiles on cycle, there's another projectiles on cycle perk and there's a perk to reduce cycles to 5 seconds, I was a mag size upgrade away from being able to shoot the tommy gun forever, as is I had to use a single ability per cycle to never start a reload animation. Yeah, I haven't been too lucky with trait rolls so far, I think I can manage if I just get a good run. On another note, Quickplay in TVRUHH sure is a grind and a half, huh

They're still a grind. Personally I suspect that tetrid rate of acquisition might be boosted for full release because as it stands they provide something to do for people who have been playing the game on and off for years during the 5+ year EA.

TVRUHH: Alt Defect is actually hilarious on Endless Terror. Who cares that they are overleveled and have +40% speed and +80% attack. I have 8 helpers, 120% damage, and they don't scale health. Edit: fez_machine posted:Play more quickplay. They stop being a grind because Quickplay never asks you to spend tetrids.  ?Honestly though, Endless Nightmare/Terror is by far the best place to farm Tetrids.

I've only been playing TVRUHH for a couple months and I already have way more tetrids than I know what to do with. I hope they let you spend tetrids on more monster events, not just Lila.

The "grind" is entirely optional and totally unnecessary for enjoying the game. Just play the game. Spend your tetrids when you get them. Stopped having fun shooting monsters with love bullets? Congrats, you've finished the game. You don't actually need to radiate anything except maybe Upgrade gifts, which are very inexpensive anyway. Calling it "godawful" suggests you're trying to jam that square peg through the round hole.

Eh, not being able to identify gifts or monster weaknesses definitely makes radiating a part of the gameplay. Personally though, I don't mind it that much, not a fan of the quickplay grind myself. Also, I discovered that Endless has medals above Radiant.

Are you intended to eventually know what gifts you're being offered or are you not intended to know that, for example? If it's the latter then is the grind there just to make the game progressively easier the more time you spend in the treadmill? If it's the former then is the god awful grind the intended experience?

For the record I said I like having huge tetrid requirements during the EA period, I'm only saying it would be better to reduce them after full release.

Jack Trades posted:So what's the design behind the grind then? I can't know the mind of the developer, but I would hazard a guess that the intended experience is that if you find a gift that you like, you can radiate it and recognize it in future runs...but that most of the gifts will be gambles. Radiating monsters is probably where you're "expected" to spend most of your currency.

Nah, Jack Trades is right; TVRUHH is grindy. The game has a lot of numbers to go up, and the fundamental game loop is centered around unlocking stuff and fulfilling dreams. I don’t mind it, personally; I enjoy a bit of grinding sometimes. A roguelike shmup is inherently unserious anyway, so I’m not exactly crushed by the corruption of the intense competitive experience. But it’s fair to let people know that’s what the game is going in.

Astral Ascent just hit 1.0 absolutely mammoth patch notes and launch updates https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1280930/view/3790402813128199724?l=english The patch notes are like two news articles because they're so huge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV9Q3xnRaq8    It's an action roguelite, I guess maybe most closely analogous to Dead Cells, but it's doing its own thing (also has multiplayer coop) Very big, lot of content, they've been consistently patching updating and changing stuff throughout EA - they weren't afraid to do full system revamps if something sucked either Anyway, give it a try, it's pretty, plays fast, you can easily see if you dig it inside the refund window Basic mechanics/progression/etc breakdown vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwoo5NdyLwU victrix fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Nov 15, 2023 |

Bad but I like it - as fun as playing inventory management for synergy bonuses is, "Slay the Spire but you have all your options always" doesn't make for especially interesting play. A game that I enjoy a lot (and have enormous amounts of time in!) but wouldn't really recommend to others.

Personally I think the tetrid system in TVRUHH is a really elegant way to combine high score stuff with currency mechanics in a way that is very flavor and vibes with the setting of the world. Unfortunately i am the only person who reads the lore on the cards.
