Tann posted:Big update and iOS/Steam release for my dice game! It's approximately as roguelike as "Slay the Spire". You've done a bad, terrible thing to us here, Tann. I figured I'd try the iOS version quickly on the toilet, and 45 minutes later realized my rear end and legs were numb. People are going to die! Seriously, Slice & Dice is like god drat digital crack. It's so good, and exactly what I was looking for a few days ago when I posted about wanting more dice placement games.

So I bought the slicey dicey game and played it for one go last night. I made it to a group with three witches (?) or something, one of them kept summoning wolves and the two others cast magic missiles or some poo poo and all my pixel mans died horribly  Gotta try again tonight I guess

Ah yeah, that boss can be nasty if you don't know what to expect. Not a lot of encounters can throw summons, poison, weakness, aoe, and big spike damage at you simultaneously. Keep at it! You'll get them next time.

Some party makeups are more straightforward than others, but it’s a good idea to check enemy dice at the start of a fight. The witches are a bit of a difficulty spike and require some planning

Somehow it went under my radar all this time and it seems people really like it Mostly There save for True Ending shenanigans, maybe some playable characters, misc bonuses, etc---they've been Nearly There a number of times now, but it really does feel like the final push could arrive any day/week/month now. Cataclysm: Bright Nights also does a big update v0.6.0 in a bid to devour the time of people not losing everything to Slice & Dice: https://github.com/cataclysmbnteam/Cataclysm-BN/releases/tag/v0.6.0 Changelog is big, but Unwieldy Style...so venture within~

Chrono Ark is like 99% done yeah. I'd say it's safe to play now but it is a bit bummer if you manage to fully do the story (which is quite good imo) and see you only have the bad ending choice at the final boss lol.

Crossposting a bit from the official S&D thread, but I made the mistake of splurge buying and starting up the game after 1 am, so I stayed up until 3 am. The Pilgrim is amazing. And for other new players, there are a decent amount of enemy types who will auto-flee/die if certain conditions are met, so always click on new ones.

lmao, gaming has gone truly too far this time e: playing the demo, its current state is kinda dry. but it has some fun ideas like adding magnets to your machine to attract other metal objects which makes them easier to pick it up Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Mar 22, 2024 |

Made two purchases recently, one great and the other I suspect is kinda crap. Thing is, they both demonstrate the recent tendency for 'roguelikes! multiple playthroughs! unlocks!'. And while they're in different genres I still feel like comparing them - the good one 'gets it' and has a difficulty that ramps up asap, reasonable playtimes, and metaprog unlocks that open up more complex tools instead of stronger ones, yet also has a 'unlock everything right now' button. The bad game has wasted 6 hours of my life which owners of the game are calling the baby-mode tutorial. gently caress that. So yea, thanks for hyping up Slice & Dice it's amazing, the demo sold me on it instantly. Any suggested runs I should be doing other than just 'hard mode' - there's so many options!

Tea Party Crasher posted:Just looked it up and it seems interesting, but do you have any insight into what it means by inspired by the rule set of net hack? Like is it the same gameplay with different content or what? That's my understanding; I finished Pathos once and the finale has basically nothing in common with what I've seen people describe as the end of Nethack (the Nethack version sounds cooler). Also I never found a sink in Pathos and it seemed way easier with fewer gotcha deaths than would fit with my impression of Nethack. The easier part might just be reputation/reality mismatch on the Nethack side though, maybe it is actually just as simple to charm an army of dragons and grind all your stuff to infinite over there.

Picked up Achra recently and just got my first win on my second attempt. It said something about entering the second cycle of degradation which I assume is some sort of stacking difficulty modifier and means I just beat easy mode? I was doing an Electromancy build where I killed stuff mostly just by walking around really quickly. I didn't really understand a lot of what was happening like sometimes I'd shoot lightning at guys I couldn't even see and which were out of the range of electromancy. Apparently my biggest hit was fire even though my only fire damage was my skirt doing 50% of my lightning damage as fire??? Maybe I hit some guy with big negative fire resist or something idk. Anyway it worked  e: oh the long range lightning was my class ability very similar to electromancy Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Mar 23, 2024 |

I forget how you unlock it but Blursed mode is extremely fun, and the best way to play IMO. Lets you do some really crazy poo poo right out the gate but scales up the difficulty to match it in a reasonable way

The different cycles are the difficulty levels, think ascensions or whatnot. They go up to 24. Monsters get harder but you get more XP and a bit of innate life scaling. The Dev has said the first cycle is the intended way to play the game, but a lot of us are pushing onwards and upwards.

Haha guys it's not a RL which is why I didn't mention it. Terraformers, a single-player 3X game (4X minus the eXterminate part!), very reminiscent of the Terraforming Mars board game and the steam reviews say if you liked TM you'd like this one. First playthrough was a tutorial, sure, then it gave me a huge blurb about unlocked cards with an xp meter filling up (ut oh...) and my second game was the highest unlocked difficulty with a specific objective, but it was just an exercise of numbers-go-up with like 10 goddamn nonsensical resources. Steam thread says I'm still on the baby difficulties, 6 hours in. If it was book, I'd call it 'frictionless', with neither tension nor charm. Mechanically, it's filled with a lot of small red flags that I feel got cargo-culted in as a placeholder for some more driven vision. Compared to Slice&Dice, with its crystalline vision and where the presence of potentially troublesome mechanics (unlocks, oh no!) is easily hand-waved away by excellent execution. I've put almost exactly the same amount of time into both games, and being a slow-burn game is no excuse for being boring. I can fire up civ or ck3 and be having murderous fun within minutes, but I feel a lot of pseudo-4x games get away with ill-gotten sales on steam as you might not realize its crap until past the two hour mark.
