Towerfall is god-tier if your friends have controllers. Easily one of my favorite multiplayer games ever.

I also just picked up Nuclear Throne and I think it's fantastic. Vlambeer's previous games Super Crate Box and Luftrausers were visceral, exciting action games that lacked the substance and balance they needed to keep me interested in the long term, but Nuclear Throne is holding together really well. I'm starting to have a little more faith in these guys.

I really didn't like Treasure Adventure Game's final boss and ending. I felt like it was unintentionally building up to something amazing and then didn't deliver on it.

I completely recommend it, and that's as a fan of roguelikes and STGs who has been consistently burned on rogue-lites and indie arena shooters. It's structurally similar to Binding of Isaac but it's better in every respect, and the action actually plays a lot more like Hotline Miami.

There likely won't be a sale for a while, because it's early access. After the game is "complete", which is probably going to be a while from now, they'll probably make it a flat ten dollars. Then, months later, you might be able to get a sale.

The game as it is is very strong, but they're still adding things to the game on a weekly basis and actually livestreaming a lot of the development. Vlambeer's other games felt like they needed more polish, playtesting, and content, and this game already has more of all three. I'm saying this because we're all skeptics here, I want you to know this game is making the most of its Early Access label.

Most Japanese indie games.

Also, I uninstalled BoI so I'm not entirely sure if the save file is still there. I'll reinstall and see, but I assure you. I have 106%.

Also, BoI WOTL is really fucking easy. I don't know why you want me to prove you this, but it's one of the easiest dungeon crawlers out there.

>>246398852
>Nicalis is really not that bad
They took Cave Story, gave it a shittier translation making every single character (fuck your "huzzah" scapegoat) a bland, boring robot.
They took Cave Story's community, stole fan mods, and then added them into the game as "new content." Nemesis challenge: Mod. Hell Temple Speedrun: Pointless when there's already a timer in the main game. Boss Rush: Mod. Etc.
Nigoro trusted La-mulana's original fucking PC devkit with Nicalis, and they threw it in the trash. Forcing Nigoro to port the Wii version.
They cancelled two localizations without either author's knowing until they find out later.
And finally, they fucking rehashed CS a thousand times over.

Nicalis is fucking terrible.
They've never made a single game, either. So having them develop BoI:R is a terrible idea.

Really? I might get back into it. The flying items RUINED the game, honestly. That's why I started disliking it. Aside from that, the rarity of starter items. I should replay it and see if it's more fun.

...how is reading out of a guide correlating to skill to beating a game? You're not formulating tactics, you're not developing and mastering skills, and you're using the 0.00001% of your brainpower necessary to read words off a page. While BoI is a lot more luck based than DS because of the droprates, the fact remains that many gamers have taken the RPG stat enhancement system and confused the advantage it gives them with the low skill it requires to play the game.

I'm fairly sure you'll find less players who beat Meat Boy all the way through than DS, even proportionally.
>>
>>246392320
I could do that...
>>
>>246399735
>which are fun to get lost in?
It's not really weird nor is it as expansive as Yume Nikki or anything. But La-mulana is a game all about getting lost trying to find out where to go next.

>>246399917
Basically flying items are rare as fuck now. Wrath of the Lamb was shit on release, but with all the updates the game is perfect now.
You not only have a decreased rate of flying, but if you get amazing items like Polyphemus, the special stat raises and lowers the chance of other amazing items. So if you get flying you're guaranteed to get less OP offensive items anyway.

>>246400024
I'm saying that beating BoI is impossible if you don't have skills and are just using a guide.

Rogue Legacy is a terrible game. It's an easy, fad pandering piece of shit with bland and simplistic gameplay. Simplistic gameplay isn't bad--but it's bad when your game isn't trying to be simplistic. It's got one of the shittiest random generation mechanics in all of vidya, and it's an overall boring, uninspired trash.

It even tries to sell itself as a "roguelite" when we all know that that's a fucking buzzword made for people who think they know what a roguelike is.

The weapons were no fun. I finished the game only using the sword+shotgun. I tried the musket and the launcher but there is no point in switching when you have a winning strategy. Also, the voice acting was dull. The graphics were okay, i'll give you that.

There's something about doing slightly better each time until you reach the point when you can one-hit everything in the castle zone.

I probably could have completed it much earlier but instead of doing the bosses, I kept getting greedy and going into the cellar zone.

It's fanbase actually wants Nigoro to reboot 2D metroid because of it. In addition to thinking it's better than Super Metroid.

Take that for what you will--It's a 15-25 hours long game (Not including optional hell temple) with great atmosphere and great music. It also does a good job of making the player think "where the fuck am I supposed to go" because it doesn't have an actual sequence.

You can go wherever you want at the start, and unless you reach a dead end, you aren't going the wrong way.

They tend to focus on a style of gameplay that is easy to learn, hard to master and unlike most indie devs can actually do graphics.

But then again you don't hear about the shitty ones (which there are a lot of) and rarely do you even get a change to play the ones that aren't SHUMPs.
