What is the hardest rougelike that people here have managed to beat (i.e. most time attempting)? For me it was like 200 relaxing hours playing Tome4 and 40 hectic hours to finally "loop" Nuclear Throne.

For me it was like 200 relaxing hours playing Tome4 and 40 hectic hours to finally "loop" Nuclear Throne. I have several ultra endings in ADOM 0.9.9 g16r2, which was the last revision before talents came in and didn't have the post-Kickstarter bridging content or the new artifacts. I couldn't even begin to say how long it took to get the first, but I do know that when I picked it up again a couple of years ago I played 200+ hours before getting a normal win.

Nethack, DoomRL, Tome4, and Dredmor all took me >50 runs to first win; I think Tome4 took >100. Not sure how many hours that turns into, ToME4 runs are long but of course a lot of characters splat early. In terms of "longest time from first playthrough to first win" Nethack easily takes the crown, since I played it for the first time when I was like 12 and didn't actually get my first ascension until undergrad.

DCSS definitely took me the longest but I don't think it's because it's the hardest, it's just that it was my first roguelike. There are a lot of transferable skills within the genre.

Several clears of Shiren DS  but I don't play roguelikes to get to the endings, really. I tend to burn out quickly.

I love nethack, nothing has captured me like this since xcom. But pets are pure bullshit, easily the hardest monsters in the game. Just now, I killed a monster and my pet beelined for the food before I could move. If altars weren't random, I'd never deal with them.

ExiledTinkerer posted:Gordian Quest begins their big push this year with Realm Mode, which is largely and essentially them throwing down against Slay the Spire in interwoven parallel to their own distinctive campaign doings---with a host of other assorted gains: I want to like Gordian Quest but I wouldn't recommend it in its current state. It really needs to adopt a less is more philosophy and focus on really refining the systems it has (and cutting pointless ones like supplies). The balance is also really bad, where my scoundrel does literally hundreds of points of damage a turn compared to everyone else doing like 30 on a good round.

I've been using OPTIONS=pettype:none since after my first dozen or so runs.

Yeah, after playing it a bit I set it aside for like a year. It has potential to be really fun, but currently the balance is absolutely non-existent.

Unless they've made major changes to the game, nearly every item does the same exact generic thing and most of the eggs are pointless as well. I wouldn't even suggest playing it tbh. I felt really burned.

It's a real shame that Synthetik on the Switch has been broken for months now, it sems like a really fun game but it's diffuclt to get in to when it crashes every time moving to zone 3. Apparently the next patch is supposed to fix it, but so was the last one.

Unexplored had a similar issue with crashing on switch for a few weeks/months after launch, and naturally as soon as they finally put out a patch that actually fixed the crash, I happened to stop playing it for something else.

ExiledTinkerer posted:Fractalis now also a thing proper: Seems cool but lmao at the store page description that's just a list of equipment slots and item types with zero context for why that would matter. Also winced when the character opened his inventory in the trailer and it was just a grid of like 300 different item icons, like is that just a debug inventory or is that what you're expected to be lugging around?

This might be an unfair criticism. No that's basically how I feel about it. It wants to be Darkest Dungeon but really didn't understand what made it charming at all. The combat isn't bad, but Iratus himself is grating and annoying.

For one thing, the DD Ancestor's voice lines were repetitive enough, and Iratus has way fewer and says them way, way more often. Get used to hearing the same weird dad joke every thirty seconds forever.
