Can't wait for the next Dwarf Fortress update, it's literally Skyrim of Roguelikes (I only play it for the adventure mode).

Wow, Occult Chronicles is really really good. I wish there were more horror/Lovecraft themed roguelikelikes.

Skwee posted:Any RLs with combat as detailed as DF adventure mode, but with better implemented adventuring/questing? I'm actually wondering a similar thing. Is there any roguelikes with more advanced combat system than usual? At least an ability to target separate bodyparts would be nice.

I tried Occult Chronicles demo and I loved the setting but gameplay was really clunky. I did find a similar and somewhat similar game called Elder Sign: Omens, it's not a roguelike but it's kind of fun.

I like what Risk of Rain is going for but the time/difficulty system is kind of awkward and confusing. There are better ways to keep players from grinding.

Tollymain posted:How is it awkward or confusing? Game gets harder as the timer counts up. If you don't to get overwhelmed you got to keep moving forward. It seems as straightforward as this kind of thing can be. Simple. Risk of Rain. I don't know, maybe I'm dumb or something but I couldn't figure the proper way to play it.

dis astranagant posted:A month or so ago the author finally admitted he wasn't working on it and open sourced his mess. Yeah I've heard that. I assumed that Incursion was dead because the original developer stopped working on it and the source code was too much of a mess for anyone to use. I guess I underestimated the tenaciousness of roguelike nerds. EDIT: Hopefully they'll be able to revive Incursion like Cataclysm DDA team managed to do.

FTL is weird in terms of difficulty. I can mostly get to the boss without much problem but I only managed to kill the boss once, it's way to loving hard, even on easy.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Something to keep in mind is that mind-controlled crew on the flagship will die if you finish a phase while they're controlled. So don't use mind control on the last crewmember when the flagship's at critical health. Wait, why not? Wouldn't it be a good thing to get rid of all crew on the flagship or am I misunderstanding something?

Jeffrey posted:It's more nuanced there I think - you get a view of what monsters are holding, but identifying individual monsters is still slower I think. (g gets parsed a lot faster than "drawing of goblin"). I think that it depends from person to person. Personally I always preferred tiles over ascii because it's easier for me to get a complete picture of the current situation when there are graphics present because I just can't "see past the text" and I always end up having to take a lot more time every turn to make a decision.

It's awesome but it's not really a roguelike. More correct description would be an XCom-like Stealth-Em-Up. How many similarities XCom has to normal roguelikes is up to debate though.

Has anyone played Hand of Fate? It's not a roguelike per-se but it's a very interesting game that uses plenty of roguelike-like mechanics. You have to descent a randomized dungeon constructed out of encounter cards from your deck and Dealers (who you play against) deck and at the bottom you get to fight a boss. Every encounter is either a combat arena, where you fight in real time, or an FTL-style multiple-options event. It's got a great deal of replayability, since the dungeon is always randomized, and I love the real-time combat as well.

lordfrikk posted:Here's a neat game that might be relevant to your interests: Hand of Fate. It's an early access card game but unlike Magic or Hearthstone (what these two have in common, though, is the slick presentation). Hand of Fate is great. I mentioned it a while ago in the thread as well. Even though it's still in early access it got plenty of content already and the developer seems to be quite competent.

CountingWizard posted:Unfortunately your wish is going to come true. That's right, you too can pay $50 or $100 to play a game that will remain incomplete for at least a year, and with a premise that may or may not entertain you for more than a week. I don't know what you talking about. I've got several Early Access games with 20-50 hours of play time on them that I fire up every 2 weeks or so when they get an update. I don't think I want to buy a 50$ "Digital Deluxe Edition" of Darkest Dungeon or whatever but I'll definitely get it once it hits Steam for a more reasonable price.

How do I not die from infection in Neo Scavenger? I always cook the water and I don't eat any berries or mushrooms yet in mid-game I always die by falling over unconscious until someone wanders over and kills me or I just die of thirst.
