here's your new Castlevania game bro
Here's your new Castlevania game bro
I'm interested in this.
Why won't they use HD sprites goddammit
Vampire survivors is the fun that 90% of the Castlevania games wish they were.
It's also got a more consistent and better written story than most games at this point.
Too bad these guys let the saudi money buy them. I had fun with this cheap game for some time.
What makes it fun is that it allows you scale so much. I wished Halls of Torment didn't hold you back so much with scaling.
HoT looks great but it's fucking BORING
I don't get what all the hype around it is about. Brotato is a much better VS clone.
Vampire Survivors is an example of "game that shows people something is possible, but gets outclassed in its own class quickly by better examples of the same thing"
Also the "story" is just jim sterling wanking off over how he's a witch now.
Oh yeah? name those better examples
no really give me some suggestions I'd appreciate it
Where's hector and dracula kid?
I'd be genuinely surprised if kid drac isn't a secret character
And yet none of them get the basics right, they just pile on more shit instead of solidifying the core...
Brotato gets the basics down better
you actually have to think about your stats in that game
Rogue Genesia is the best of the bunch, for my money. Dev seems acutely aware of the balance required to set up a game that's satisfying via
How many options there are, overall and within a run
How much RNG manipulation players get
How much players can start a run with
and the dev does regular dev diaries explaining development which is good too.
Also good ones in my book are
Scarlet Tower
Overall competent effort in the genre
Voids Vigil
Leans into a very different kind of stylisation, and actually seems to have a coherent setting
Talented
Cheap, good for maybe two nights of playing before you get bored, but has the unique twist of the player being unable to move.
20 minutes till dawn
Has aiming, does the vampire killer thing better
Brotato is the only one that I'll really consider better than Vampire Survivors.
Brotato is the exception. That game has a very solid foundation and a very strong community behind it.
I highly disagree with 20 minutes till dawn and the music track it plays is annoying as fuck. It does some things very good but it really feels like a phone game port for some reason. Lot of control options make no sense otherwise.
I cheesed half of the challenges with abby also.
Co op will be fun.
I feel like I've played a lot of games that were supposed to "outclass" Vampire survivors but I haven't put the time into them I have with Vampire Survivors.
Holocure, Halls of Torment, 20 Minutes to Die and Brotato are good games but they don't give me the dopamine Vampire Survivors does for some reason and honestly when they start to demand more engagement from the player I just go play something else.
scarlet tower
abandoned game
is it? well, shit then.
I haven'y played it for a while, I hadn't noticed. If it's been abandoned unfinished I retract my support for it.
Been dead silence for over 5 months
pads the roster with shit like Sonia and Yoko because modern western devs can't implement an ensemble cast unless they shove in as much muh lady diversity as they can
but they leave out the actually useful female protags like Carrie, along with ALL the other N64 characters that would have been much cooler for a game like this than half the choices they went with (like Cornell)
So was this Konami's doing in excluding the N64 games, or are these devs borne from the same generation of impressionable sheep who heard one e-celeb shit on those games and thought everyone hated them?
It's also got a more consistent and better written story than most games at this point.
Sorry Jim, YWNBAW
They didn't care about the story which is why jim was perfect for it since it's all flat falling tranny brit humor
have to arbitrarily come up with 8 different whips because they can't all use the VK, even though they all did use the VK
lol
Did Brotato get a lot better during development or do I just not get it? I played 3-4 rounds and got to exactly the same point (round 12?) every time before drowning in constant contact damage, despite choosing a wildly different build each time.
why can't i buy it yet?
Not out till tomorrow
Did Brotato get a lot better during development or do I just not get it?
Idk, I played from release onward. It will only start to click when you play on difficulty 5 where the game actually gets quite challenging. The strength of Brotato is each character being a sort of puzzle to solve with how you build them to beat diff5
The new dlc also is ballbusting too, in a good way. Normies are bitching because it's hard in the reviews too
was the contra crossover any good
Which game was Christopher from?
Is this real?? Where is my wife Shanoa though??
I think she's in there
yeah its real
TELL ME HOW TO WIN AT BROTATO
I ALWAYS GET FUCKED
Try weapons that bounce on hit.
Pick the guy with 6 hands and go all bounce mode with a turret or two.
It was fun and difficult at some points depending on build.
Nathan Graves in?
Where is my wife, Lerajie?
youtube.com
even Civie uploaded a video about SoTN. that's odd.
I think this is really cool, it just rings hollow without a new proper game in the series (granted Haunted Castle's remake is basically a successor to The Adventure ReBirth but that's very small-scale hence it being an add-on to the DS Collection). Castlevania is in the same purgatory as Mega Man where it's more profitable as a brand than it was as a game series, getting collections & merch & crossovers & adaptations that rake in cash but never a proper new game no matter how simple or cheap that would be because it would probably sell "only" a million or so copies. Granted given how bad the new Contra they put out this year was maybe the crossovers and collections are for the best.
Woah the shill makes a conveniently timed video?
I played a NextFest demo called Hordes of Hunger which was VS's format stapled to a 7th gen-esque action game with levels broken up by missions that it will randomly cycle through. The jump was kind of janky but it hooked me pretty hard, though it's going into Early Access so I'll wait until it's closer to 1.0 to get it.
The Hololive one
LOOK AT THE FUCKING WHIP BLOAT
but they leave out the actually useful female protags like Carrie, along with ALL the other N64 characters that would have been much cooler for a game like this than half the choices they went with (like Cornell)
Are you blind.
Are you kidding, it got 50x easier, curse is fucking broken, wave 1 billion easy
