Did you buy Necropolis, /v/?
How are you liking it so far?
The combat is kinda clunky but it's neat
me
anyone want to play?
i have no friends
>>344854843
Are leveles randomly generated?
>Quests: lit 3 beacons, kill 10 skeletons
>The level is extremely short, theres only 1 beacon and 5 skeletons who dont respawn
cool game
>>344855308
It's a roguelike, so yes.
First life I ended up in a swampy biome with poison enemies a few levels in.
Second life I wound up in a fire/factory area at the same point.
>>344855368
Game's not even hard. Combat doesn't even really play out similarly to Dark Souls, mostly because replicating that would be impossible on an indie budget. It's more of a beat em up type game than anything.

>>344854843
Pretty boring desu, found a tier 2 battleaxe on the first floor and one-shot everything, got to like floor 5 before it got weak, quest system is fucked though, would prefer it if quests were done on one floor at a time.
Good thing I pirated it though.
>>344855308
>>344855359
So how do i cancel quests?
>>344855482
Yeah, the equipment needs some work. Weapons I get, different types have different movesets, damage, damage types, etc.
But shields just seem to all be the exact same, I see no difference between the tiers or sizes of shields.
>We want soulsfag audience
>>344855662
Damn that looks cool.
>no control rebinding even on keyboard
>no proper support for anything but xbox controllers
>clunky animations
>clunky combat
>clunky UI atleast on my unsupported controller
For how hyped I once was for this and how great it looks it sure is a disappointment of a game.
hey
so i played a bunch and i'm still alive, down in level 6 now
what happens when you die exactly ? what do you keep ? tokens i guess but what else ?
>>344855858
Codexes are permanent. Game hands you a bunch of tokens and some gems to start with based on how far you got. That's about it I think.
>>344855803
>For how hyped I once was
>hype
Fuck off
I thought this game had some kind of multiplayer like Souls but I have no friends to play with and now I'm dissapointed
>>344855803
never played a souls game have you fedora
>>344855901
k
on lvl8 now
only challenging part is the actual artificial difficulty of spawning enemies in your back
still haven't died
i'm drowning in supplies
no depth to combat whatsoever
glad i pirated, will probably uninstall soon its already getting boring
>too easy/no insta- or certain deaths
>iron rations is all you ever need
>no bosses to casualfilter
>finding t3 or t4 armor will make you almost invincible
>enemys begging to be dodged
except for those bretty gud game
enjoyable 4,5h
>>344856083
the only thing you can't do in Souls is rebind the keys, but that is standard procedure with console games anyways (even if it sucks). This is a PC game. There is no excuse.
>>344856095
It's fun in multiplayer, just because you keep accidentally knocking the shit out of each other. Though 30 bucks is steep to ask a friend to pay.
Does this have splitscreen?
how the fuck do you get a non-360 controller to work on this
x360ce works for like 5 seconds before the game disables it, somehow
>>344856095
This, the game is extremely easy for anyone who ever played Souls game. The only difficult moment i ahd was on level 4 when the game throwed 20 guys at me and additional guys were spawning while i fought them
At level 5 the game became so boring i dropped it
>>344854843
Is it worth pirating
>heh its like darksouls
Will never buy
>>344856271
>bretty gud game
No, it's not
I'll play solo.
Do I buy Salt&Sanctuary or Necropolis?
>>344857002
Necropolis was made to be played co-op since it's dull as fuck otherwise
>>344856056
it's gud, anon. i'm sure there are many peeple on /v/ that are lookin for someone to play
Why the fuck doesn't the GOG version have multiplayer? Were they seriously too fucking lazy to implement direct IP servers?
>>344857002
S&S is a good metroidvania that would be good without souls "influences".
Necropolis is a piece of a fucking trash.
>>344857002
Salt is cheaper and I've heard much better things about it. Necropolis is a sale game for sure, something you wanna pick up for 20 dollars and play with a friend.
It's not bad, just not exceptional at all. Could've used more time in development to flesh out combat.
>>344857263
>pick up for 20 dollars
Still too much
>>344857263
>>344857304
Yeah, as it is now it's only worth like $5
>pressing escape for the menu doesn't pause the game with infinitely respawning enemies
great game
>>344856984
why :^)?
>>344854843
another game pandering to souls fags with little substance that people will defend out of buyers remorse.
>>344859936
That sucks. I was hoping this would be a fun slasher which the PC desperately needs more of.At least we'll be getting scaleborn but fuck microshaft
>>344860121
>scaleborn
Scalebound, though i'd rather get Horizon and NieR: Automata instead
>>344860363
More or less. I want something meaty and nobody is making any for some reason? Do people not like crunch?
Dropped and refunded the game after 18 minutes. Really boring and no depth or anything whatsoever. Also pretty easy. The AI is really stupid too.
I wish this shitty ass game would stop being shilled on this board.
>>344861816
>shilled
>90% of the posts are about how people regret buying it
What did he mean by this?
>>344856056
I'd play with you.
>>344861816
SHILL SHILL SHILLY SHILL SHILL
HE'S TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON THE SHITPOSTING AND OFFTOPIC BOARD, THAT MEANS HE'S A SHILL
SHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
Literally, unironically kill yourself. Not even joking, step away from the computer, tie a rope around your neck, and hang. No one will miss you.
I'm surprised by the amount of backlash this game is getting. Were people actually hyped for this? I never heard anything about it until a day before release.
>>344854843
the (literal) meme humor is excruciating and everything is randomly generated. i advise against spending money on it
>>344862949
Mostly just the usual /v/ contrarian shitposting, but it is overpriced for what it is.
If they keep updating the game it could be something special but as of now it's not worth the buy.
>>344855662
>nub feet
>le stronk female warrior
>memes
so was this developed in san francisco or montreal?
>>344857002
theyre both shit games desu. its a shame because id enjoy a good souls clone
>>344860634
by meaty and crunch do you mean games with visceral combat? because im missing that too
>>344863042
>the (literal) meme humor
It's literally not meme humor, just plain bad humor
>>344863114
seattle actually. same part of the country as SF with the same sjw liberal scene. The whole northwest corner of the US is a hipster progressive circlejerk
>>344863114
Anon, are you okay? Did you have a concussion?
>>344862949
I thought it looked cool when I first heard about it but $30 and all the bad reviews turned me off pretty fast
>>344863332
Yeah, I haven't ran into any memes yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time with how lazy these jokes are, though.
Is there a way to pause the game?
>>344863261
Yes. I want hits that feel like hits. So far the only games on PC I've played that's done that is MGR and Zeno Clash. I want lots of enemy and weapon types with lots of strategies for dealing with them as well.
>>344864149
Pause? In my Soulsborne? THE NERVE
>>344864149
it's like souls, just quit out and the game autosaves
>>344864149
No, it's built around co-op
>>344864367
The game didn't even have co-op originally. It's just like that because Dark Souls does it like that.
If I had friends, and if they actually wanted to play this I would probably pay the 30 dollars. Even though I think that's overpriced for the content I've seen so far.
>>344859936
I quite like Harebrained and bought Necropolis. Too bad it sucks. Refunded.
Also the animations are fucking weird. Like some of them run at full FPS and others feel like they run at 10 or 15 FPS (weapon trails and items breaking). Jarring as fuck.
>>344864594
>The game didn't even have co-op originally
Bullshit, co-op is a highlighted feature
>>344864717
Same here. I'll probably get it once it's $10
>>344863506
Nah, no memes afaik but the humor is corny. Think Dungeons of Dredmor or the like, but less witty
Why the fuck do you indie fucked just want to emulate soulshit. Is it because it is popular and cheap as shit to make?
Make a fucking singleplayer arena shooter, HnS or rpg with good number autism and quests you indie fucker.
>>344854843
>30$ 5 hour game with no weapon variety or interesting loot
>>344865020
Or textures
>>344864317
oh thats good to know actually. Still lack of a pause is infuriating. Like the game so far
If you get the ranged weapon the little Big Daddy things use, you are set. Does fire damage, has a dot and staggers like fuck. Dunno what other ranged weapons exist, I see black phantoms using crossbows though.
Also heavy weapons are top tier, get one ASAP.
Presentation of this game is fucking dogshit. Looks like the development build of the game with placeholder graphics and animations except they just shat it out as is and called it a day
>>344863447
what did he mean by this?
>>344865016
id just like a good third person dungeon crawler with good combat. people consider that synonymous with souls now, i think.
>>344860634
except the fucking control is similar, only improvement is you have third person shooter control with the mouse.
if you make a pc game. allow us to hotkey, not item switching bullcrap.
Shame, I was looking forward to this and hoping it'd be good.
Guess I'll hope it improves and pick it up when it's under $15.
>>344866245
The player character has more detail to it than an entire level
Looking at videos here and the combat looks fucking awful.
it needs more then just sword and board
needs double the levels 20 at least
needs bosses rather then just one at the end
needs to be harded but not by spawning more shit
needs more interesting enemy types
needs faster combat or a different fix
combat needs to be more inpactful
User reviews:
Overall: Mixed
>>344866734
>needs to be harded but not by spawning more shit
nah, it isnt souls, it is acceptable as you have aoe as a default move.
Reposting from previous thread
It's okay.
The game basically combines everyting a Souls game has and a rouge-lite has
>good aesthetic/art direction
>faniliar combat (to souls players)
>tight controls
>interesting enemies
>great environments
>decent random level generation (though I haven't played throug as many times yet, but keep finding new rooms/combinations)
>nice humour
>exploration is offen rewarding
However, this also includes the bad points both have
>terrible camera when locked on (wall clipping etc)
>some hitboxes can be cluncky
>being swarmed by enemies is the worst thing that can ever happen
>many pointkess/half-empty rooms
>1 hit + dodge is the most reliable and safest strategy
>some weapons have fairly useless special attacks
>not enough weapons variety
>the rougelike progressions feels lackluster
I've played all the Souls games and about 80% of recent rouglites and the game is fun, a lot more fun with a friend or two, but can also be more challenging due to friendlyfire
Overall a decent game, but could use more content in general, feels rished
With possibly more content cane become good

thats true but i still dont want to have every encounter be like 25 weak guys with 2 strong ones
single monsters arent that hard to deal with
>>344854843
Compact lacks ANY sense of impact. It's so fucking boring. Refunded it after 90 minutes.
I like everything else about it but the combat just looks like it has no weight behind the strikes.
Floaty combat just isnt good enough these days. You gotta have weapons that are satisfying to use and that comes from exaggerated effects like slapping an enemy flying with a swing of your warhammer, or slicing them in half with a greatsword.
I was supposed to browse pornographic pictorial evidence, but byt instinct I came to /v/ again.
There goes my Gianna Michaels fapping session.
Again.
>>344868950
>she looks incredibly ugly
>>344869164
The fuck are you talking about?
>battleaxes are powerful and fast
Why
>>344868601
The biggest problem to me is how enemies animate when stunlocked. Even the Souls' games most basic hollows get slapped around and it's really obvious you're knocking their asses about.
But in this game it's like "oh I guess he's stunlocked? Maybe? I'll just keep hitting I guess"
>>344862847
Ow that edge! Got any more gems like these?
>>344868601
Why aren't you permabanned from /v/ yet
This game is the latest example of how procedural generation of content results in shitty, boring games that could have otherwise been pretty cool if the developers had bothered to actually build real levels.

Gay
Everything about this game screams amateur. But it doesn't matter since indies can just abuse buzzwords to market half-assed slop like this and still manage to con gullible morons.
>It's inspired by Dark Souls! It's super hard!
>The graphics aren't bad! It's '''''low-poly'''''! It's a unique artstyle!

>>344874161
don't forget they stole the art artstyle from Journey
>>344867387

Doesn't really seem amazing. Flavour of the month stuff. Not worth $30.
>1445 in-game

>>344873683
Was PC-only, then they announced console versions
>>344874887
Devs made Shadowrun
>>344875269
So they decided to ride the hype and make this cheap low effort cashgrab, huh?
>>344875580
Seems like it
>>344854843
Why does every screenshot of this game looks like an early alpha?

SHILL
GO
AWAY
>>344875660
It's artistic, you wouldn't understand
>>344865473
That'd be funny if that were true. Souls games aren't really dungeon crawls (except for Bloodborne chalice dungeons)
>>344867387
>rouge-lite
>rougelike
>rouge-lite
Any and all opinions discarded.
>>344875858
Oh yeah
"artistic"
>>344873947
There is friendly fire so you can have duels if you want, just can't lockon to the player
This game runs like ass for how it looks. Unsurprisingly, it runs on Unity
tfw u have to check stats in excel file because game is too retarded to tell you
Combat is way to clunky for me. Looks great, has a neat concept but with it's current swordplay it's no fun. If I gave a shit about money i'd refund it
>>344878891
>Reduced fall damage
There's fall damage?
>>344878826
>Unsurprisingly, it runs on Unity
that's the devs being shit you idiot

desu out of those codexes I only like
double stamina regen
aggravating
cuckbook
vampiric (tho i havent tried it yet)
>>344879609
I haven't seen a single dev that CAN use Unity
>>344879924
because Unity is barebones, they would need to not be shit
>>344854843
Stop shilling your game, next time drop the casual lock on and I might buy your game.
>>344878826
You must have a shitty pc. I can run it maxed out, including max resolution scale which seems to either down or upscale the rendering resolution compared to your current. I assume it is something like 50-100-150-200%.
Too bad the game itself is just mediocre as fuck.
You guys must be really bored to be playing this crap. Just play an actual roguelike or a Souls game.
>>344854843
I'll buy it once it hits $10.
Game was fun, but ridiculously short. beat it after 4 hours without dying once. Final boss was disappointingly easy. Not bad, but not worth the $30 price at all.
Played up to level 5, it doesn't really feel like a roguelike or a soulslike. The resources are very plentiful and nothing really feels threatening outside of the big spiders that can stunlock you for half your health bar.
>people say it's a roguelike
>it's actually not
Fuck you.
>>344885267
Rogue-LITE
>can literally get enough tokens for the best modifier in the entire game (vampirism) in 4 levels
>humor that sounds like it was written by the guys who made the minecraft joke book, unironically
>god awful combat
>repeating layouts seen MULTIPLE times within the SAME FUCKING DUNGEON
ya nah, played this shit game for an hour, experienced all of that, requested a refund and and got it.
Get fucked devs
What fucking purpose is there for the monsters to respawn?
>>344886760
To be annoying as fuck. My first playthrough on level 5 I think the monsters were respawning faster than I could kill them. Had to constantly kite them all the way back to the entrance, only somewhat challenging part of the game I experienced and I don't think it was intentional.
>>344854843
It's boring as fuck and a terrible "rogue-lite". Combat is repetitive. It's easy as fuck. Literally impossibly to die. Even if you do happen to take some damage there's an endless supply of food.
Game's shit senpai.
>>344854843
I'll buy it when it is on sale for $5, that looks to be what the game is worth.
Be honest with me, are gunlances terrible in Generations?
>>344889436
nothing is terrible because generations is easy as hell
also you might be in the wrong thread
>>344854843
>combat is kinda jerky and stiff if that makes sense
>enemies dont hit hard enough if you have t3 or t4 armor
>I dont know if this is just me but I have a slew of graphical errors with textures and character models sometimes but they come and go
best played with friends, I have 7 hours so far
I like it but
>can't change the controls WTF
>less fps than in dark souls 3
what is this shit? i know i don't have the best pc but devs are so fucking lazy nowadays, look at the simplicity of those graphics compared to dark souls 3, i can't fucking handle it
>>344891981
Don't put the resolution scale on the highest if your pc can't handle it. It's basically the resolution what the game is rendered at and then downscaled to your chosen resolution.
Am I the only one who likes minimalist/simplistic graphics? I thought it was part of the appeal. I can understand why others think it's bad though.
>>344891981
Resolution scale is 50%-100%-150%-200% or so of your chosen display resolution. You're downsampling from twice what you chose if you maxed it
