I think the best way past magma worm is to just bring as many drones as possible so you can just farm mobs while they mostly deal with him. One time our group had so many drones we couldn’t read the party list anymore, it was great.

I managed to notice this game just today. I'm a dumb idiot who generally speaking dislikes crafting/building in videogames. How much would I have to deal with that?

That being said this game looks like a perfect fit to play with some irl friends over the Internet judging by the short glimpses I've seen. We've been in the look out for a game that would kinda fit our interests for the longest time without being able to find one but this kinda looks promising?

There is zero crafting or building anywhere in this game. The closest to that would be placing turrets and mines as an engineer.

They might want to reconsider the boss super moves that are basically instant death if you're a mercenary and you didn't have the foresight to pick a teleporter location that has terrain RIGHT where the boss is that can block it.


Engineer also sucks. Turrets are way too fragile for a 25 second cooldown.


Overall this feels very much like Risk of Rain in 3D which is good, but it also feels very early access. I get that it is, but I also see that there's apparently less enemies in the game than RoR 1 had, not more, and no more ones planned (ie marked with the wrench like 4 of the player characters and a bunch of items are).

space marine todd posted:

Yeah, there is plenty of smaller quality of life things that would be helpful. Probably out of scope for v1.0 but an Apex-style non-verbal system of calling out and marking upgrades/the teleporter would be super useful.

I really appreciate that the items hanging off the Engineer are also hanging off the Engineer's turrets. Really follows the whole "Engineer turrets have all the abilities of the Engineer".

Just hope they add skins/color coding to the characters.

Yeah, I agree with all those points on class balancing.

I also wish the first two levels were less of a slog. I guess that's just like ROR1 though.

Having managed to survive 45 minutes in one supremely lucky session, I can confirm this is the case.

My one major gripe is that the teleporter really doesn't stand out. I have more than once found the teleporter, done a bit more exploring, then spent several minutes looking for the teleporter again.

Now that I know about the feature, I recommend pinging the teleporter when you find it. That way, you don't have to struggle to find it again.

usually my worm clears (and beetle mom) involve primordial cubing the mess of mobs then starting a campfire with gasoline, sticky bomb, ukele, etc. close to the center of the boss' movement radius. At that point, really all you have to worry about is golems and the odd wisp bouncing you into harm's way as constant aoe procs will murder the worm without too much attention paid. drones are always a plus, but it should be pretty clear that drones are always great to repair unless there's a fringe case i'm missing.

robot: beat the first portal in 5 different games

engineer: beat 30 portals (in total across all your games)

mage: get 11 lunar coins. Spend 1 to unlock the blue portal shop, then spend 10 to unlock the mage.

Getting the Ceremonial Dagger early in the game is absurd, especially with the Huntress. It also looks amazing as a spectral third arm:

Enemy and loot density are bumped up for each additional player in a game.



My only issue with this game currently is that Lunar Coins seem like a hilarious trap. Once you get the various cheevos related to using coins/lunar items, I'd say just to never touch anything related to them besides maybe attempting to big-dick occasionally with the Shard.

Those tracking lasers on the golems/titans could a little bit of fine-tuning, methinks. Those guys have been responsible for ending the majority of my play-throughs.

Also where is my main-man the ENFORCER, with his signature shotgun-that-fires-once-a-minute and shield-wall-that-just-allows-enemies-to-walk-around-and-bite-your-rear end?

It's almost exactly the same as the first game except 3D and more mobility (you can move insanely fast late game like it's Tribe or Quake).

You'll still be shooting at bullet sponging enemies. You'll still get out scaled unless everything goes just right. Anyways, that's my experience with the first game and a little bit of the second.

Check the item logs, some of them have little vignettes with survivors from the first game, Enforcer shows up in th Medikit's. I don't know if this means he won't be in 2, but I also don't think his moveset would translate well to 3D.

was pretty much immortal, got a 3d printer teddy bear really early. You're not immune though, I feel like some things definitely went through. But whatever that Overloading Worm was hooooly shiiit. Magma Worm looks easy comparatively. I died in 1 swoop.

Edit: Also your turrets get every item you have. That includes the "revive once" teddy. Turret reviving itself with angel wings, very cute.

Was playing it with my friend last night both playing the best character, MUL-T. We managed to make it the end of the second loop until the boss got stuck inside somewhere and dozens of hermit craps and overloading magma worms obliterated us. Great Game. :toot:

I think the Swamp level is the only one where it is really difficult to find the teleporter, I also spent like half an hour running around it in my first match. It is not so hard now that I'm familiar with its layouts, but it could do with the extra visibility, or at least a pillar of glowing light emanating to the heavens after enough time has passed.
