I just got this the other day and got to the 4th area tonight. Seems ridiculous I dunno how I was even supposed to deal with that. Game is awesome though. I love the style so much.

Man there's something that never gets old about finding crazy powerful exploit decks. I pretty much always rely on mantises, but I just unlocked a starter deck with Gecks and Tadpoles and boy oh boy can you do some nice stuff with that if you get the right sigils.

Is there an actual reason why some of the card art changes after a while or is it just kind of there for a goof?

Ok. So I have gotten to the point where I beat him most of the time. The last few times he just tries to get me to eat a pile of poo poo at the end...But there is more to the game right? I have seen snippets of stuff I haven't seen in the game yet. How do I progress? Obviously just winning doesn't do anything and I have looked all over the room. I haven't figured out how to do the cukoo clock, I'm not really sure how the framed case works, and there is some sort of wand sitting above the rule book. But I don't know what to do with any of it or how to trigger a next phase(?) Help?

But I don't know what to do with any of it or how to trigger a next phase(?) By the framed case, do you mean the cabinet behind the dealer, to the right of shelf with the skull and globe, that you unlock with the key? How that works is you arrange the tiles, which represent cards, to create a situation where you deal lethal damage to the opposite side of the board. It's not as simple as getting the highest numbers on your side of the board and lower numbers on the enemy's side, you have to pay attention to what the sigils do and imagine what effects that will have on the board as the attacks go from left to right.

What happened was early on I picked the crazy eyeball and have absolutely no memory to the very obvious hint after you put it in. Either it didn't show up or my dumb self didn't think to get up and check the clock at that very moment and forgot about it. So I was just playing while progressing nothing. By the framed case I meant the shadowbox. It was empty, now it has a couple of cards in it. No idea what it's for or how to interact with it.

That one is pretty straightforward but also entirely optional for making story progress - doing it correctly basically gives you bonus items that will make progress easier if you are struggling at the card game part but since you've already beaten it at least a few times you likely don't need the help. As for what to do specifically with it: You need to reproduce the board arrangement depicted in the picture. It's randomized each run so sometimes you just won't get the cards you need to do it. The cards on the other side of the table don't matter, you only need to have your own side matching. When you do it you'll hear a noise and the picture will open up to give you an item. You can do it 3 times and you get a different, permanent bonus each time.

The mod removes the sigil from the spawned card if it's printed, so you can't chain it as easily. There are a few different ways I've found to get the ant deck humming. Usually I focus on getting a good combo of sigils on the Ant Queen and the insect head totem to spawn more ants or generally speed up the deck. One thing that may not be obvious is that I think spawned cards on the board keep any sigils that have been applied to the spawner, so Dam Builder and Bellist can get pretty silly when applied to Ant Queen. Getting things like Unkillable or Worthy Sacrifice on a Dam Builder is a fun combo for a lot of deck types as well. Popoi fucked around with this message at 01:28 on May 24, 2022 |

The Hex is longer and split into chapters. That means it has a lot of variety in terms of gameplay mechanics. Some of the mechanics might get kind of stale quickly but you have to do them to complete those sections. Pony Island is shorter and easier to just kind of knock out, but relies on evolution of one mechanic. I liked that mechanic well enough that I didn't get super bored of it, plus the length of the game kept things moving pretty well.

So I've got to one of those pick a card areas but it wont let me pick a card or progress. Not frozen cause II can still get up and walk around and access the menu, it just won't finish the card dealing animation. Edit: fixed it, old mod needed an update.

Bought it for the Playstation, I really loving suck at this game. I've unlocked all of the unlockable stuff - the clock, all four drawers, I even have the head on the shelf. I once had a 9/6 wolf for two blood. I had where I can sacrifice squirrels for three blood each. I had a death card that would do 7 damage bifurcated. I've made it to the final guy twice. It's just...my deck gets so big by the end, I can't draw the good cards.

You should have squirrel totems, and those are most useful with something like Magpie as the effect so you can mill cards quickly. If you're seriously struggling with the final phase of the fight, here's a tip that 100% works and will utterly invalidate the fight (break glass in case of emergency, cant put the cat back in the bag mechanic spoiler): bring a stinkbug. can't add more to his attack value if he cant attack

Kaycee's mod is starting to piss me off. It starts out super fun but after a while it starts to feel like rng bullshit that will just throw you into an unwinnable battle without having the decency to just tell you up front that you are hosed and there is no way to win. Also, for a "deck builder" it sure seems like building your deck is the absolute worst thing you can do, which is dumb as hell. Feels like I should avoid getting new cards at all in favor of trying to buff a small deck, because after a certain challenge level, any card that isn't op is more of a liability than an asset. Also gently caress totem battles. They aren't poo poo in themain game but in the DLC they can just be instant lose.

Yes, the optimal strategy was always a lean deck outside of abusing the 1 blood deck mechanic.

I could play a dozen more games like part 2. How are pixel and open world the two most overused mechanics while pixel open world deckbuilder CCG is so uncommon.

Hard agree! I kind wish that section of the game had been a lot longer, maybe even take it’s gameplay for Act 3 but keeping the same plot. I wonder if you could so some sort of life sim Stardew Valley type game with card battling with constricted decks as it’s gameplay, and boosters and rare cards as the rewards for various activities, seems fun.

Both Act 2 and 3 make me feel like there was supposed to be more to the game. Don't get me wrong I think the final result was masterful but in act 2 there so many new cards you barely get to use and in act I'd really like to see an expansion to Kaycee's mod that includes Act 2 and the setups with the scrybes from the finale. I would gladly pay like $20 for this or maybe more.

I played this on PS5 and had a great time. Dabbling in Kaycee's mod makes me appreciate how he knew how to quit and move you on to something else in the main game because act 1 does not hold up as a balanced roguelike challenge. It's just: was I able to keep my deck lean enough and draw my OP cards? Y/N. Played one match where he started with 2 ants and the diving flyer. Bullshit!

Kaycee's mod is really fun but after a while once it starts to be impossible without a really specific single strategy, the cracks start to show. After level 6 I feel like there is almost no wiggle room to try and build fun and varied decks. It's always just buffing 1 blood poo poo and trashing as many cards as you can. It's fine. It's meant to be a single player narrative experience based around making OP cards, so it's cool they were able to get some mileage out of the rougelite thing. It's just a bummer that it isn't balanced better.

It does not necessarily need to buffing 1 blood card. There are all challenge runs that use the black goat search tactic, high cost cards, Dire Wolf (the card itself or its sigil), ant totem, etc. Nonetheless, I do get your point that, no matter what strategy or what deck you choose, the decks with the better chances are lean decks that have OP cards or setups.

A game with Inscryption’s aesthetics and Slay the Spire’s balance would be a killer app, but ultimately that’s not the game he was trying to create and that’s fine, it’s amazing at what it is. Still, you can’t help but wonder at what could have been, I think that’s why so many people were clamoring for what eventually becoming Kaycie’s mod at first.

To be more of a "proper" roguelike deckbuilder you'd probably need to drop most of the mechanics around building up your individual cards and focus more on building the deck out of existing ones in a fixed state. Allowing players to effectively design their own cards was always going to be a balance nightmare. Fortunately, this is a game where balance is a polite fiction that only really gets in the way of you seeing the story, so it's fine to do away with it. But if you wanted to take the core mechanics and aesthetics to make a serious deckbuilding game that would be the place to start, I think. Which if course means you're throwing out most of the game outside act 2. How many events aren't based around modifying your cards?

Yeah considering the circumstances I don’t see it a failure of the game. It’s just hard not to want a version of inscryption that you can play forever because it’s such a fun game and the aesthetic is so much more appealing that something like slay the spire to me.

That kinda comes down to what each system was developed to be. Slay The Spire was developed as a mechanically tight game whose story is, uhh, yeah. Inscryption is a story told through very fun mechanics that support the story.
