This is going to be my favourite game for the next two weeks. Made some inroads into the museum but my best run at da club is age 54 lol so I was really just poking my head in for some xp and forward knowledge before I go back and break this firey rear end in a top hat's face as a younger man.

I wish you could just reset your best age or something. I hosed up doing the whole of level one and died twice so I didn't get to record new upgrades. I want to lock in focus bar and focus on parry/dodge because it makes difficult opponents much less like to get the jump and cost you. Weapon durability is pretty good but I feel like the structure upgrade is also strong. Then again taking weapon durability early seems like a good get because I don't see myself being 20 something for this entire game.

fnox posted:Get the projectile grab. You just gotta remember you have it but it'll help with not getting hit by flying bottles and some specific boss moves. I've unlocked everything in the first tier plus weapon catch, downed counter and uhhhh something else in tier 2. My favourite unlock is the roundhouse combo because you can flatten three guys at once, but it also promotes hubris. Also on the whole getting hosed by walls stuff the way to win is primarily be in a commanding position on your own terms. If you haven't let yourself get surrounded it's generally not a problem to slip away and start the fight again at a new spot, preferably one with a counter you can slide over to create space whenever you need it. This being said fighting three guys at once and not getting hit is pure gravy. JBP fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Feb 10, 2022 |

My understanding is that parry is when the opponent stops dead and you can counter.

Cool got through the club age 30 and died at the boss of the museum. All good though because I got the shortcut stuff and unlocked things. The bottom permanent unlocks are age gated to my surprise so now I have to go back and unlock them lol.

Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:Focus sweep puts a guy on the ground before your iframes run out. It's one button to disarm a goon. Eye poke you can get swarmed while you try to follow up. Both are good depending on what you need at the time. Yeah I like sweep in a crowd and poke against bosses. Poke gives you scope to follow up with a heavy string into sweep/elbow/roundhouse and put them on the ground anyway.

Pladdicus posted:A lot of reviews made the game seem like a real slog to replay which feels brutal in a run based game, what are people's experience with replaying sections? I just love playing the game. Doing the levels again is fun. Some people get obsessed with "progress" or whatever. You're always unlocking sick Kung Fu and fighting bastards what else is there?

Sometimes instead of getting the health bump for using a finisher I pop a roundhouse kick because you kick people so hard it looks like their head might come off.

Just locked in age 21 (got stuck on a wall ah well) on level 1 with a full run after having it at 22. Scored well so I bought myself 2 dodge/parry and some focus bar. Will have a go at getting through the club in sub 30 but I feel cursed to either choke when I get to Sean or get trolleyed by suddenly hyper aggressive kickboxers. Had a couple of goes at the third level boss and pushed her to phase two but I've been messing up the timing on the first phase. It's nice that you can take the shortcut and get some practice before embarking on a longer run for shrines. It's also quote a bit more interesting in the design of shortcuts and I'm enjoying thinking about which paths might be optimal.

signalnoise posted:I don't like my current loadout does anyone know a way to wipe it without having to unlock everything again I haven't been able to find a way that doesn't involve doing a single magnificent run or beating your previous one. I've probably done myself a favour competing level 1 at 21 as it affords me a respec. I'm pretty happy with more focus though it's a lifesaver.

You can block and press sideways to avoid attacks. Also block the first one or two then avoid or parry the last one, that's generally your best opportunity to strike back and your structure will generally (not always!!) hold up ok against attacks that aren't the end of a string.

Came back to the game and went 23 club, 27 Museum (all shrines), 56 tower (all shrines first try) in a row. After sleeping on the game the mechanics must have settled in because I know Kung Fu. Have to get some work done but I'll tackle the last level in a bit. Was meant to be a twenty minute Kung Fu break lol.

I like the muted punches and sounds in general but I agree that the TING noise could be something more punchy. Hopefully they make another game with a bigger team off the back of this. And hopefully it's the Renaissance rapier fighting game of my dreams. I feel like these guys could make it.

Yeah so on my third session of the game I went from hating the idea of a restart to "it will be fast and easy". Love it when mechanics settle in your mind.
