nintendo knows that fangames strengthen the Brand more than they divert sales so they really only do the minimum level of takedowns they perceive as required to defend their trademarks, unless they perceive a fangame as too close to feature parity with their current or upcoming games. they don't want to touch the actually popular ones at all so they just roll a die and send a random takedown every few months obviously it'd be preferable if they didn't do it at all but if they really wanted to they could salt the earth on fan projects, and they don't Jazerus fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Got my first Path of Achra win on my 3rd game. My strategy was mostly stand still and blast things with my mind, or pray and teleport away if in danger.

im not sure if im supposed to be getting way more out of the map than i am or something but the first boss is ravenswatch is pretty hard. the tentacles take awhile to kill, cant really ignore them or i just get slapped to death, and then i get about 6 seconds to dps him before he summons them all again so it takes like 5 cycles. couldnt even do it going in with all my revives.

There's a lot of variables at play there, which character? What level are you when the timer runs out? Are you focusing on damage or survivability talents? Etc. You're definitely not supposed to ignore the tentacles, just rotate and take them down one by one but save some damage cooldowns for the DPS window when you kill the last one. I got roflstomped by it quite a few times before taking it down for the first time (I suck at bullet hell situations), but by now things are pretty much muscle memory and it doesn't give me trouble any more. It's just learning patterns. There's no time limit on the fight so don't take risks and do as many rotations as it takes. Preserving health is more important than getting that little bit of extra damage in.

An assortment: Indie Mystery Dungeon inspired jaunt for Android: Gaia Quest https://old.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1cf3k4y/gaia_quest_a_mystery_dungeonlike_game_is_now/ quote:As the title suggests, my game is a traditional 2D roguelike inspired by the Mystery Dungeon games (particularly the Shiren the Wanderer and Torneko titles). I also believe that MD-like games are quite underrepresented in the mobile/Android market, therefore I decided to develop one myself. A "hardcore", more enriched experience ongoing overhaul mod for One More Dungeon 2: https://www.moddb.com/mods/omd2-hardcore-mode quote:OMD2 is a fantastic little indie arcade Ultima Underworld-lite Roguelite that comes abruptly to an end. No extra difficulty modes, no post-game content. Additionally, after you've played the game once, returning later doesn't prove particularly challenging at all after learning the nuances and bypassing the trial & error phase that any game presents. This mod is a simple yet transformative hardcore alteration of the game to keep it engaging for replays and well into the future. It will test both your knowledge of the game as well as your general action-RPG skill and decision-making. You will see that all the base game's design can be elevated to an old school cerebral standard when it doesn't have to account for a newcomer. It's not all hard and scary though! Numerous perks are improved for better balance and more interesting choices. You get more xp too. Card & Dice Anew with Dice & Fold: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2693930/Dice__Fold/ quote:A turn based dungeon crawler where your only way of attacking the enemy is by rolling dice. Roll, damage, drop dice on enemies to FOLD. Inspired by classic Solitaire, in a top-down table and enemies made out of cards, try to beat the dungeon with 20 different classes. Build your deck, kill monsters.

What are you playing as? Your damage should be a lot higher depending on who - I just played a game as Ice Queen where it died in the first stagger, although that was with a very strong run. - Always Be Moving - this is the biggest tip. Don't slow down to fight trash unless they're stopping you from looting something. Prioritize zooming around to points of interest non-stop. The reason I had a strong run was because I got a few drops that made my ice skate ability have multiple charges and a reduced cooldown so I could just zip past enemies and grab the loot. - When the game starts, take a minute to plan a route around the revealed PoIs - chests, shards and tomes are the obvious spikes, although depending on class make sure you have a level or 2 before doing a tome as you need to be able to AoE stuff down. - Always do the quest, but usually I save it after I've grabbed some levels and loot, as it can be difficult. Likewise, if you get a key, go and do the optional boss as that gives great loot. - Things are color coded with an outline around them, green>yellow>red, which indicates difficulty and reward. - I usually check the shop on starting, then recall when I have 200+ shards and something I want to buy. Cloning a useful item, upgrading a talent to legendary etc. If you find a wishing well grab the item there though.

i did the first run as the rat dude and got absolutely obliterated, then i tried twice with the ice lady and got closer (probably because i found more healing perks) but still failed. i will try not fighting anything unless it is at an event and see if i can get more out of the map. on my last run i found the key and killed the mini boss even though he was a real fucker and it cost me a revive. not sure if it actually ended up being worth.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Nintendo and Pokémon Company are famously litigious though. If you're trying to make money off it is the key there. They almost never go after stuff unless money is changing hands. Pretty much every major takedown is tied to either "it became a for profit thing" or "It was a direct active competition with something they were putting out at the same time".

ok i defeated the first boss of ravenswatch. really poo poo all over it too. didnt come close to dying once. i still left a lot on the map but was much better about ignoring enemies in between the nodes and moving efficiently. also learned how to fast travel so that helped. this was the first time i actually unlocked my ultimate ability lol. that alone did half the boss hp. is the event to get 15 rocks to build the guys house worth it? seems like a ton of time needed to collect all the poo poo

Yes, assuming you can can clear out a lot of enemies decently quickly. I would say doing it too early is a trap, and would recommend waiting till after you get some levels and items before taking the sidequest. Beating it nets you get a ton of exp and a legendary item. it's usually 3 minutes to gather the material and another 2-3 defending the house. Keep track of carts that you passed near the house as they will spawn material to gather once the quest starts.

Razakai posted:What are you playing as? Your damage should be a lot higher depending on who - I just played a game as Ice Queen where it died in the first stagger, although that was with a very strong run. These are good tips. The big metagame element of Ravenswatch is really learning how to do things efficiently. That's managing your time spent traveling/fighting, prioritizing objectives that will give you the most strength for the time invested, and finding opportunities to multitask. An example of that last one is how the quest in the first zone often overlaps with another objects (e.g. collecting wood from mobs guarding a treasure chest). The more you play, the more you'll get a feel for how to traverse the map and what objectives to go for at different stages of the game.

I just made an infinite damage loop in Achra Attack and deal lightning damage with Electrokinesis -> Stormbringer prestige class ability applies freeze on doing lightning damage -> Ice Necklace deals ice damage on application of freeze -> Crystal Hand deals astral damage on dealing ice damage -> Auzomi Sash deals lightning damage on dealing astral damage -> return to Stormbringer ability If the target dies, my unlimited range astral damage from Asi Malak kicks in and hits another target, starting the loop on them. I zone in, attack once, everything dies e: okay sometimes I have to attack more than once. It doesn't chain infinitely, but anything that takes any damage at all takes infinite damage e2: inevitable victory, finally got a Sorcerer win after many attempts. Might be my fastest win at 28 turns. It's a shame the run history screen doesn't record that.

Gave Ravenswatch another stab, decided to try a character that looked terrible on paper and plowed through it to victory on my first run on Melusine I really like the style of the game but I think I just fundamentally don't like what they're going for here for a variety of reasons. I'll keep giving it a shot through patches, but I think there's some bedrock stuff here that I'm just not in love with. Then decided since I was on a roll I'd check out the Astral Ascent armory patch and one shot D15 with Ayla. After playing this for awhile I have a lot of gripes, but the presentation is so charming and the combat so smooth I can forgive a fair bit of it. Game would be hugely improved for me if they changed a few things like moving cooldown abilities to per room/encounter instead of timers, dumping the terrible Zodiac challenges (I legit thought these were a one and done, but nope), or the slightly less terrible Andromeda's challenge (pace killer for a small upgrade). One of them is unfixable (spell spam in combat rendering the entire spell selection and gambit choices a mushy bowl of uninteresting fiddly number choices that all end up in the same place, mashing the spell button to deal max deeps). Oblivion Override patched in endgame boss variants and Blazblue has been continuously patching small fixes (rather to my surprise), but I guess the game sold well enough to keep the team running in some capacity, but I haven't checked those or the new Roboquest or Gunfire or Last Spell updates out yet either (or Everspace 2, good god too many games updating rn!)

That does make the game beyond trivially easy since you can just hoover up all the resources on each map, but it's fun for exploration and practice.

I don't think there is anything to report there. It's not really an infinite loop as the player is not stuck in this state once the screen cleared.

Are there any other roguelikes with a Roleplay mode like Caves of Qud? I know ToME has something similar but I don't enjoy its gameplay. I put a whopping 70 hours into Qud after only a week of owning it because Roleplay mode is just the right amount of lethality for me and even if I die a new procgen adventure awaits without having to start from scratch and I could have an even more fun time
