So why aren't you playing it right now?
meme game
It fucking sucks
A 6/10 good. I rather play a Zelda game than a clone t b h.
>>333756634
I really liked the gameplay, so Im actually sad its so fucking short. If there was actually something to DO Id play it forever.
>>333756956
You tried the challenge mode behind the locked gate in the village? It's pretty fun and on NG+, it's really hard.
Shit control with Keyboard, I'm waiting to get a controller to finish it.
>>333756634
>skip flavors of the month
>sale come along
>there are all 1-5$
Shippity Dippity
I enjoy it, but I wasn't quite expecting a zelda-esque style of game. It suffers from the lack of a greater story to follow. I'll finish it 'fore long.
>>333756634
I just finished it, took me 9 hours but i haven't gotten all secrets for it though i usually don't bother. It was great for it's price.
>>333756634
I finished it and I don't wanna NG+
>>333756634
If they came along and updated it with twice as much game and more weapons/moves in DLC, Id totally buy it.
Is that fucked? Sure. Is the game still FUN. Also, Sure.
>>333757367
>NG+
>Locked to 2 HP
>Most bosses instant-kill you if they connect once
Even the frog wrecked my shit, but the bird boss was the most fun I had in a while. Particulary if you equip the gear that doubles your stamina.
>>333756634
because it's shit
Any lolis in the game? The devs paid an H-artist to mention their game in some hentai.
Because I already finished
9/10
bretty good.
-1 point for all the bullshit secrets
I regret funding the kikestarter.
>>333756705
When will mods ban the word meme?
>>333757964
how much did you put towards it?
>>333758084
Not him but 100. Disappointed that we didn't everything promised but that's what I get for putting money in a kickscammer
>>333756634
No d-input for my generic ps2 usb plug in
and x360ce refuses to work
and the opening sequence was basically a scene-for-scene plagerization of Evangelion 3.0, which triggered me.
Refunded it becuase 30 fps
>>333758005
>ban everything that pisses me off!!!
Go throw a hissy fit on reddit, faggot.
>>333756634
30 fps desu
>>333758232
There's really nothing wrong with putting money into kickstarter, the games all come out more often than they dont. Its your fault for thinking that any game, or anything in general, would be worth $100 before you've had your hands on it.
>>333756634
>So why aren't you playing it right now?
30 fps
extremely poor design decisions including but not limited to aiming being on the left stick instead of right stick
got bored of mashing attack and dodge to get through encounters then hugging every wall inbetween said encounters after 3 hours
Already did, its bretty good. The challenge level feels just right, the enemies and bosses don't have any bullshit so every time you get wrecked it feels like your own fault, abilities are limited but all of them feel good and useful. Its unpolished as fuck though, PC controls suck ass, 30 fps lock, you constantly get stuck in nothing, level design is lackluster, some secret areas are telegraphed and some are just random hidden wall you couldn't find useless you're ready to hug every wall in every room. Its also short, first walkthrough took me 6h40m, and I died like million times
6/10 okay 1-2 evenings game
>>333756634
2010s aesthetics.
I'd like it if it looked based on 80s aesthetics but it isn't.
>20$
>4 hour game
I literally cannot justify that.
And no, replaying the same levels with certain challenges is not actual content.
Massive amounts of cut content and the fact that it can be finished in 4 hrs average
>>333756634
No munny
>>333756634
Already pirated and beat it. Haven't touched it since. It's a solid 6/10.
Lags like hell for me in the shops and dark areas
Would continue my playthrough if I didn't drop to 3 FPS
Funny though because it runs flawlessly outside even with plenty of enemies on screen
>>333759659
so pirate it you faglord
Just finished the boss up north for my first one
Did I not have to go that way because he was pretty hard
*wallet with moths in it*
>>333760423
Well you did it so it turned out alright.
People generally feel that the east boss is the easiest, but to compensate that east got the hardest commons enemies.
>>333760423
East and North areas are about the same level of challenge, East boss is easier but east monsters are harder to kill. Just make sure you have shot reflection or dash reflection before you go West
>>333760423
You can go anywhere but south to start with, but that is THE hardest boss.
>>333757859
At first I thought it was just coincidence, but I didn't understand the last two words until now. That'skinda cool.
>>333759568
>>333759580
>"I believed the meme"
Though regarding the cut content, that sucks but technically it was stretchgoals only and the devs probably aren't very experience with game development so they cut shit out. Not saying it's right or excusable, but shit sucks sometimes. The game itself is still good but it'd be fantastic if it had the cut content in it.
>>333759659
Just pirate it and then buy it later if you like it and have the money, or don't, up to you.
>>333759568
Its much closer to 9, you could probably run through it in 4 if and only if you had a guide, got the shotgun first, and/or were supernaturally good at the game.
>>333760718
>>333760753
>>333760782
Cool. Is there anything to collect besides the little white crystals you need to progress?
>>333756634
I was just about to launch it
>>333760943
Yes, but you dont NEED it and you wont find it without looking too hard. How many upgrade bits do you have?
>>333760943
If you don't care just go to the next area. The game's easily beatable with basic abilities, although shot reflection makes final boss trivial
>>333761037
Are those the little gold things? If so I've one full one right now because I spent three on the big sword attack
>>333760943
If you find all 8 cristals in an area it unlocks a door in that area.
You can collect money to buy every upgrade, find the monoliths to get some lore (literally 3 sentences so don't bother translating the text if you're interested) and a cape to give you +1 HP, find some hidden gear, and find keys unlocking the locked doors you can see. The more keys = the more doors you can open.
>>333761203
Protip, spend your next three on the missile deflection, then your next 4 with i-frames for your blink. It makes the whole game much more fun. There are whole encounters that are designed assuming you have some way to deal with projectiles.
>>333758497
Why would any game be worth anything before you get your hands on it then? And it wasn't just a game also you fucking retard. But there's literally no point to backing any scam
>>333756634

>>333761352
All good thing to know. Thanks guys
>>333756634
i fell asleep the last time i tried to play it
>>333756634
It's clunky
>>333756634
looks like shit
>>333761412
>Why would any game be worth anything [pre release]
Because you're hype? But hype should be worth $20 at best. It all comes down to how much money you're willing to throw away without regret.
>And it wasnt just a game
?
>But there's literally no point to backing any scam.
If you want the game to come out, you're willing to risk a small amount of money, and you dont think it will come out without your support, then yeah, there is a point. That, however, is a personal calculation thats different for everybody. Star Citizen is proof of that.
>>333758427
nice meme :^)
>>333761595
sorry about your cataracts, pop pop
Because the combat is dull and it runs at 30 fps
>>333757078
>challenge mode
That glorifies it. It's just an arena.
I like it but I always get bored really quickly when playing it and don't really feel like picking it back up when I stop playing.
>>333757964
>>333758232
I just put $10 into it and I regret it. It was an okay game but the amount of shit they promised in the Kickstarter that isn't in the final game is unforgivable.
The bosses are too hard
>>333761943
Yeah you're right, but I'm a dumb fuck who tried it on NG+
No, DEADBOLT is a lot more enjoyable, the art is actually good too
>>333760861
>Though regarding the cut content, that sucks but technically it was stretchgoals only
No it wasn't. Half of the game's "core features" from before the stretch goals were even considered aren't in the game.
>>333762176
>hardest boss is Hanged Man
>3 attacks in a fixed pattern

>>333762108
What was promised that wasn't included? Genuine question since I didn't back it or follow it until it came out.
>>333762227
>Zombie game
>2D platformer
No thanks
I'm glad I spent my money on Enter the Gungeon over this
HLD is kind of boring and there's not too much content. All its got going for it is some damn good pixel art
>>333762413
The drone that follows you around was supposed to have several functions, such as providing light and searching out hidden paths for you, and was claimed to be upgradeable and customisable.
One of the main items from the initial concept was the shield which isn't in the final game.
If you go look at the Kickstarter trailer again you'll see that almost nothing from that trailer is actually in the game.
>>333762372
Dodging his swipes without having the dash upgrade requires pretty tight timing if you actually wants to hit him and not simply wittle down his health over the course of three hours.
>>333756634
Too busy sucking at battlefleet gothic.
I'm trying to get the one shot achievement. It's has been the most challenging part of the game ever.
>>333762567
>such as providing light and searching out hidden paths for you
That explain so much.
Now the only thing it does is beeping when you're close to invisible platforms, but only when you're literally at the edge so you have to try everywhere.
>>333762783
>>333762567
>>333762413
Id be enormously surprised if they dont release more content. It would be so easy to make more levels and patch the game together into something-full length with time.
What this game is really missing is a FUCKING STORY. 8 hours of playing and zero godddamn explanation for dead giants everything, what the hell is the doberman, why do you need to raise the giant dildoes, what it does, who is the tentacle shadow.
Fucking gamedev stole so much NGE imagery and wasted it all on nothing
>>333757859
sauce?
>>333756634
Its just doesn't seem very interesting to me. Gameplay is decent but nothing to write home about. Setting and narrative seem like they're trying a bit too hard to be 2deep4you. The pixel art isn't great either.
Its just meh.
>>333763382
>NGE imagery
I was with you until this
>>333762567
it looks like alt drifter has all that to me.
>>333756634
spent 9 hours on it, got all gem pieces in north and east, gave up later when i realized some secret areas are literally leaps of faith.
>>333763701
Shame they made you slap down an extra $10 for him before you'd even know if the base game was any good or not.
>>333763665
Are you seriously going to deny obvious influence? Shits so Second Impact it hurts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v07mErbAk7M
it would be indie gam of the year if it was released in 2015
>>333763665
But he's right anon, the whole scenery and environment screams nge. It's not even subtle
>>333762372
I didn't really have an issue with the Hanged Man either, but even I would say he was the hardest of the 3 Big ones. Would you suggest another boss as the hardest one, anon?
>>333765254
The Archer can be pretty hard
>>333759568
I paid $20 for the game, and got twenty hours out of it (so far).
If you like it, you'll get your money's worth. If you don't, you'll know before two hours, and can refund.
To those of you who do like it; Why?
I find it pretty boring. The basic combat isn't varied enough to keep my interest. Every encounter is sword, gun, dodge that's it
>>333765254
I would say birdie is the hardest boss simply because its a pure reaction challenge. There is no way to completely predict his attack like you can with Hanged Man
>>333766149
>20 hours
>>333759568
First of all, its not 4 hours. 7+ at least unless you're goddamn god of videogames. Secondly, this argument is retarded, if its the price you have a problem with just fucking pirate it
>>333756634
30 frames per second
>>333761510
I don't get this, I am so put off by the soundtrack.
It's like you guys played a different game than me but from what I've heard it was a fucking mess of random deep techno noises, it's shit and I am not even a "soundtrack guy" but it bothered me.
As to OP:
>30 fps
>horrible input lag
all this in a game that's supposed to be fast paced = horrible gameplay.
This is a game that I will always remember as to why gameplay > anything.
The artstyle, soundtrack, graphics, story etc couldn't save it for it being a shit experience in my book.
As a side note, I feel that it's fanbase is also pure cancer and remind me a lot of undertale fags, as in, not accepting objective criticism and considering it literal perfection.
Maybe it's because they were kickstarter backers and more involved in the project or I don't know what other reason.
I cannot fathom why the developers would force a PIXEL game into 30fps. What the fuck is the purpose?
>>333766785
>, I feel that it's fanbase is also pure cancer and remind me a lot of undertale fags, as in, not accepting objective criticism and considering it literal perfection.
Now you gotta tell me in which hugbox you saw that because it was clearly not on /v/
>>333766470
It's funny because I honestly suggested the Birdie boss as the easy one out of the three to my friends. He was also the boss I had the most fun with, I guess it really just comes down to play style.
>>333766881
Gamemaker Engine.
>>333767074
try /vg/
>>333766881
Game Maker defaults to 30 fps when you start a new project. Developers are usually too incompetent to notice and change it when they start their game, then they're too incompetent to code their game around delta time rather than frame counters so they can't change it later without halving or doubling all their time-related variables, so they go into defense mode and start lying that 30 fps was "a design choice."
If GM didn't default to 30 this would literally never happen, it's the only reason
>>333766785
Different tastes, the soundtrack is just pure atmosphere I think and meant to instil mood and feelings rather than being a catchy tune. Also, Disasterpiece, who is behind it, is fairly famous and liked.
30 FPS is shit but I feel no input lag so it's either a bug or on your end I think. I haven't experienced at least.
The devs seems to be frequently patching though, a patch came yesterday and they're already working on the next one and is available as a beta patch, so they're clearly trying to at least fix things.
>"not accepting objective criticism"
This is /v/, 99% of any "Criticism" here is shitposting or hearsay, with the last remaining 1% being people with actually valid complaints that talk of bugs, 30 fps and other shit.
Most "Criticism" in these threads I have seen has been "4 hours!" or that the devs are SJW, like it matters even though the game itself has no hints of SJW retardness in it.
>>333766529
>>333756634
Is it worth 20$ or should I wait for a sale?
>>333767963
I also love to just leave games running and go to sleep, anon. Gotta hype my steam profile
>>333767538
It's just weird for me because I execute the same dash combo with the same pace and it won't 100% of the time come out.
I would just call myself a casual skrub and say that I need to git gud, but it feels just odd and what had me wondering was the fact that others got that experience too.
It was really bad during the west challenge dungeon.
As for the soundtrack, I will say that it's not my thing, it's well... too "moody" but this "bit" style doesn't fit that. I could do much better with more clear melody for the mood.
>>333766178
The combat's got a bit more to it, though it's not really necessary to do stuff like shot canceling or weapon swaps mid combo.
>>333768205
Dashing is .25s to .45s to enter chain dash (so dash 1-2), and gets slightly faster over the next 2 steps to stay at .2s to .3s after the 4th dash and onwards. I'd try setting up an AHK script and seeing if it works consistently, if it doesn't, your game is getting some sort of shit lag - if it does, your timing is off, or the lag is dependent on area. I can't write off lag since the devs are most definitely incompetent amateurs, but I do really like the game regardless.
Sample AHK script of what I mean (the push time is necessary)
#+X::
SetKeyDelay, 150, 100
Send {SPACE 4}
SetKeyDelay, 100, 100
Send {SPACE 796}
Return
>>333768179
Most of it was spent making this map. So not really playing so much, but I wasn't asleep.
>>333768161
There's a lot of pirated versions floating about, I'd say give it an hour, if you like it, sure go for it. Overall I can't really say it's worth the full $20 for most people, as most people probably aren't going to want to go through a second time and autistically explore every little thing. If it were on sale for like $5, I'd say it's a damn good buy for pretty much anyone though. It's a great game, there's just not a lot of the game part there.
>>333768205
Yeah, the dash is a bit weird, I agree with that. The dash after the first one is timed a bit differently than the rest so you got to learn to get that timing down. It's not super hard or anything but it seems like a strange decision and I'm unsure why they did it. I guess they didn't want it to get too easy to dance around bosses?
I feel the 30 FPS thing is the game's biggest flaws. I personally still enjoy it but it's silly that an action game like that isn't 60 fps.
Anyway, I am curious about the input lag, I've seen a few mention it but I'm not sure how or what is causing it. Does it take like a short millisecond or even a second before any action is made? Just curious in case it's perhaps the weighted actions that people are confusing with input lag, but I assume it's a bug.
Like, a lot of actions in the game has "Weight"to it I think, in that you cannot perform another action until the animation is done.
There are a few exceptions though, you can reset the sword attack with a gunshot for example.
Anyway, hope you refunded it if it's not to your tastes, assuming you didn't pirate it of course.
>>333768205
I can bring out infinite dash pretty regularly, it's a tight timing
Indie games do one of these things well.
>Have a good OST
>Have a good artstyle
>Have good gameplay
They literally never do all three.
>>333756634
Cuz' I'm broke papa.
>>333756634
I finished it in a couple of days, it was meh, 6/10 or so
Like ALttP, if ALttP had no items to find, a fraction of the enemy variety and bosses, shorter dungeons, no puzzles, fewer interactive NPCs, a dumber story, a shittier ending, a smaller world, and far less impressive graphics for its respective time
>>333769328
So which of those do you think HLD does well because I sure as fuck don't.
>>333769328
Dustforce is handily all three of those my man
>>333761276
How do you translate the monoliths? I've found a bunch but after activating them sort of just left because I wasn't sure what to do with them. Is it just revealed in time how to translate?
>>333770991
This
>>333763448
Who is this qt3.14?
>>333771271
As far as I know, there's nothing in the game that translates them for you, instead it's people that have manually translated them.
Probably what the devs intended, which I honestly like.
