Procedural generation is capable of supporting a lot more weight than it could back in the Mysterious Dungeon days. And that's great! It's neat to see somebody come out with Procedural Mark of the Ninja or Procedural Mascot Platformer.

So they expect you to have bombs and lockpick in this district. Do they expect you to have other powers too?

So now another question - can you get to everything in a district 1 building with 3 bombs, or is RNG going to flip you off sometimes?

Yeah, that's a pretty interesting quickplay arena-shooter roguelike. I imagine there are bound to be some recurring irritations in the enemy or weapon pool we just didn't see. Dash guy actually doesn't seem as good as he might be, considering how dense that bullet curtain got.

It seems like it's hard doings to recover from even one death in Slayer Shock, at least if it was somewhere threat was a problem.

It seems weird that buildings without security stations are more secure, since you can't disarm their poo poo remotely.

Nongunz has some pretty interesting mechanics - the consumable stat buffs, the chargeable weapon wall, but it seems like losing is just really irritating. And do weapons have a total usable lifetime, or do they recharge when you take them out of the dungeon? ...that menu screen, though. That's way more of an elaborate ruse than I expect out of a roguelike.

Go for Has-Been Heroes. I appreciate seeing all the roguelites you can show. Sometimes when you're playing a good one you forget how hard it is to get right.

Okhlos sounds interesting. But that was... yeah. Exactly as advertised. Do the different flavors of floor you drop through affect anything other than the color palette? Like, are there actual different hazards in them and stuff?

Wow, that was pretty close. I think what halved your mob size was a single area attack from Hades that you didn't block. It's hard to keep an eye on that gravediggin' shovel. My vote is, again, to blaze some caves. Maybe you could blaze some stars later? I don't think that one's too roguelike, though, it's more kind of etrian-y?

Gloom looks pretty good, yeah. Caveblazers seems like it gives you a pretty tiny guy for as much melee as it expects out of you.

I am genuinely split here, but I would most like to see your perspective on Receiver. Gloom is super-reminiscent of Bloodborne with a little Risk of Rain in it, but honestly I think it's a good thing that enough people are making roguelites that we can put the ones that get made into bins like that.

Unexplored seems promising. Our own 7c Nickel did a full run of Receiver a while back and I wanted to hear what you thought about it. Guess I know now! Galaxy-brained gun operation seemed like an interesting analogue to the kind of galaxy-brained stat and strategy optimization you'd need to get through other roguelikes.

Asura seems like an interesting twist. Let's see how it goes. Where does game-to-game progression come in in Noir Syndrome? Can you stock up lockpicks over multiple runs?

Overfall sounds really neat, let's see how that goes. Maybe it's the "fall" but it reminds me of Fallen London/Sunless Sea?

I really can't ignore a title like Captain Forever. Thanks for giving Overfall the ol' college try. It doesn't sound fun to realize you've been miserable and haven't even gotten anything out of it.

Man, what is with all these indie games and turning you into the next last boss? I mean, I suppose that's an easy way to get replayability.

I'm in favor of Legend of Dungeon. Moon Hunters seems like it's designed to play and replay quickly, so there's that in its favor. I can forgive simple mechanics if you're not supposed to spend a lot of time developing them.

Ignatius M. Meen posted:Your ammo probably would have lasted longer if you'd noticed that every time you reload you throw the rest of the 40-odd bullets in the current magazine away. Yeah, it seems like tracking ammo in one-reload increments was a way to give you a preposterous amount of ammo without throwing up a big number on screen, but then you have to bother not only with reloads but with reload tracking, neither of which featured that heavily in your pixelated-era FPSes, to my recollection. Maybe if you had no reload animation but still had the ammo counter?

Of course even DOOM didn't have magazine tracking so it's more STRAFE's fault for not emphasizing that little feature.

Yeah, have fun with Heat Signature. It's sounded pretty promising.

Tenebrais posted:If you were really feeling plucky, you could board the ship once to see the layout, see the target was next to the wall, get back in your pod, drift over next to the wall he's standing by, then get out of the pod and stab him from space. Although in this case a Swapper would be just as effective. Wow. That's some pretty quality thinking outside the box. Does the average ship just keep going in a straight line, so you can match heading and speed just like that?
