Interesting games so far, but the commentary in these videos seems to lag behind fairly consistently. Early in part 3 of PR, you start contemplating taking a Shield card when you've already selected it in the footage.

I played Void Bastards (it's on Game Pass) and beat it in a single client. I can't help but feel that's against the theme of the game a bit.

 They can't all be winners. Here's the instruction manual for the game. I like it.  Time to vote on the next game!  Deck Hunter is a roguelike card game. The World of Klanojh has been cursed by Glatta, the Goddess of Anger. Build your deck, make combos, defeat fantasy creatures and help Avery to face the evil and restore the balance!  BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY  Control powerful mechs from the future to defeat an alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game. No I've never played Into the Breach.

Sorry Castle of No Escape II was a dud. Still looks like something I might pick up during a steam sale, though. For the next game I want to see Moss Destruction. Deck games just aren't my jam, and while Into the Breach is amazing it's also pretty well trod ground. I gotta be selfish on this one. If you really haven't played it, though, definitely pick it up on the side. That goes for everyone reading this, not just Party Bug.

Same as above. Minus to Into the Breach because a quick look probably wouldn't do it justice anyway, plus to Moss Destruction.

Well that was a whole lot of bad design decisions. I get that they're going for a vibe of "annoying NES game with bad mechanics that no one remembers fondly" but I'm just not sure exactly why you would aim for such a thing. I'm also going to have to vote Moss Destruction. Into the Breach is done to death already and I'm sick of deck games.

It's far from uncommon for people to say "I wanna make a game like the ones I used to play" and then throw in mechanics from those games without actually examining whether they were any good to begin with, let alone whether they work with whatever other mechanics are being used. Throw Stockholm Syndrome in the mix and their creation never gets a chance to be fun. Moss Destruction is actually better looking and sounding than I thought it would be given the title, otherwise was thinking of Into The Breach just because I live under a rock and haven't looked at anyone else's playthroughs on Youtube or whatever.

Well, I have to say that on paper, Castle of No Escape sounds like a good game. Just in practise, the combat feels too simplistic and the levels too samey... maybe if there were random weapon and armour available like in a regular roguelike, they could have made it more interesting.

 There's no such thing as a bad twin-stick shooter (don't prove me wrong). It's time to pick a game!  Claim and defend the Tomb of Tyrants against greedy adventurers by matching tiles to build a deadly dungeon full of traps, minions, and more! Whens puyo puyo.  Airheart is a dieselpunk airplane action rogue like game, where every colorful level is built on top of the previous one, all the way up to the stratosphere. Welcome to Granaria, a flying city in the clouds. Meet Amelia - a young pilot and fisherwoman wishing to reach the abundant worlds edge.  Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough. It's a short burst "Lunch Break FPS"... not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2

A nifty-looking game, though certainly not for me; I'm godawful at twin-stick shooters. Cannot focus on where I am and where I'm firing at the same time at all. Airheart definitely looks the most interesting of those three.

 Make a plane, crash a plane. Apparently we're taking a break from twin sticks, here are this weeks choices to vote on:  "Infectonator : Survivors" is a Randomized Permadeath Survival Simulator that combines RTS, Tower Defense, Roguelike, and Management-Simulation gameplay. The goal is to lead a group of survivors in a struggle to stay alive and find rescue in a zombie apocalyptic world.  Fight as Heart, an innocent robot fighting to escape the grip of mindless machines in a future where humans are no more. A fast-paced 3D brawler with roguelike elements set in a colorful yet desolated world.  Second Second is a Roguelike card game without drawing cards. Explore randomly generated worlds, defeat monsters, collect valuable cards and add the best ones to your deck. The battles are not based on luck, so prepare to put your skills to the test.

Airheart was neat, but yeah, I can see how the 'always moving forward' thing could be kind of a hassle. All three look pretty cool, so I'll round out the current votes with Heart & Slash.

 Heart&Slash was the winner of the three-way tie! On no!!! Always remember after the robolution the only sanctioned dances are the robot and the robo boogie. Possibly decent choices this time. Vote for:  Wayward Souls is a randomly generated action-RPG with a heavy focus on story. Play as seven different heroes, all with their own sets of abilities. Fight through steadily greater hordes of enemies.  This card game combines elements of roguelike and deckbuilding. During the game, you shall strive ahead, gathering cards to build a unique deck and use it to defeat the enemies getting in your way. You will have to choose between escaping or try to defeat Death, who is relentlessly pursuing you.  With its falconry-inspired gameplay & procedurally generated worlds, Eagle Island is set to a beautifully modernized pixel art aesthetic and provides a breath of fresh air to the character platforming genre. Eagle Island is a roguelite, it can be played in either Story Mode (progress) or Rogue Mode (permadeath) Voting closes on Saturday at midnight (MST).

Apparently there's a story mode the game recommends doing before the rogue mode. Normally I would flagrantly disregard this, but I'm going to do a short stream of it here for those that want a preview. Stream done! It looks like I got to the halfway point in story mode.

 This is mandatory viewing.  Asura is an Action Rogue-like set in a fantasy world inspired by the richness of Indian mythology. It features a unique procedural skill tree which changes on every play-through.  Riptale is a challenging 2D roguelike action game aiming to make sword combat be as bloody and impactful as possible. The player collects gems that allow them to execute different attacks in the order of their choosing. All this results in a symphony of combos that fill the screen with blood and guts.  Well it had to come up eventually. Votes close on Saturday, midnight MST!

 It feels like it's been a little while since I played a roguelite that allows the kind of broken items and synergies that Asura does, so this was a nice change of pace. These are the new choices!  This card game combines elements of roguelike and deckbuilding. During the game, you shall strive ahead, gathering cards to build a unique deck and use it to defeat the enemies getting in your way. You will have to choose between escaping or try to defeat Death, who is relentlessly pursuing you.  Buckle up for shoot ‘em up chaos in this fast-paced and hyper-stylized roguelite. As the infamous bounty hunter Black Paradox, it’s up to you to travel through space and defeat the Hellraisers – the most dangerous criminal organization in the galaxy.  Curious Expedition is a roguelike expedition simulation set in the late 19th century. Together with famous personalities you will venture on unprecedented expeditions to regions never explored before for fame, science and treasures. As always voting closes on Saturday at midnight MST.
