Pc exclusives look like this

It depends on the game but caves of qud gives you tons of gimicks to not die. You can inject a consumable to change phase and since enemies can't interact with you when you're out of phase you can use the recoiler to fast travel away. Just one example, but the game is about learning gimmicks like that. It's easy to be unkillable in caves of qud.

elaborate

Anon... if you want a CoQ thread you just need to ask kindly.
On that note: how the fuck do you deal with the axe guy in Bethesda Susa. I just phase by, but actually beating the guy is tricky.

I hate CDDA because roguelike and hyper realistic zombie survival do not mix very well.
Healing takes an eternity and stuff like disease, the entire nutrient system and the exhaustion system where you get super slow from slight exhaustion are just bloody annoying.
And, unless you do a cheat character, earlygame is boring because you can't go to town or you will get swarmed so you have to scavenge the out of town locations which are super far in between and hold very little usfeul loot.

are there lolis in-game?

more like caves of chud

Try using guns only, even as a melee guy.
Mace stunlock worked for me. Precognition is useful in case he manages to get good RNG and land an attack.

It's impossible to tell you how to deal with him since every build functions differently. You just have to kill him. He's easy with ranged characters or espers or mutants with corrosive gas and stuff, he's only kind of a threat in melee and again it just depends on your build. If you use bludgeons then you could try to stunlock him or if you use axes you can try to just dismember him first. If you can chop off his arms and make him drop his axes quick then he can't chop off yours.

Still waiting for cdda to reach coq level of qol and ui.

Thanks, but how do you avoid his throwing axes? Higher DV?

Skill issue. I can clear hordes of zombies on day 1 with joke challenge characters with 4 strength because I'm a giga autist with thousands of hours in CDDA and know too much about it, but it's entirely possible. You can absolutely daytime loot from day 1 even with weak characters if you're good.

ACKSHUALLY they look like this.

One of the devs is Jewish.

Not giving the dev money.

Tons of optiond. If you're a melee character than the simplest answer would probably be just charging through them, or have an ally that charges through them for that matter

There was some drop a few years back that one of the 'part time contractors' was a pedo after discord chats got leaked. Theres still some threads discussing this on rpg codex but a lot of other discussions were scrubbed.

Bright nights removes some of the finer nutrition autism and is my preferred branch

You can absolutely daytime loot from day 1 even with weak characters if you're good.

How?
Do you use a fast weapon and calculate turn order?
Or do you just cheese with spears?

I would prefere from my roguelikes if there is just hunger and you need to keep it full so I can mainly focus on killing and looting.

Those are the cream of the crop though

see strong monster

turn 360 degrees and walk away

Congratulations you mastered the subtle art of roguelikes.

Isn't Caves of Qud fundamentally Jewish? Like the mythology and world-building is intimately Hebraic, among the other tranny-isms. Why didn't the discord welcome a fellow member of the tribe like Sseth making a video on it?

cool game but it gets a bit boring later on
pic is my current character and im at a point where i can endlessly farm metamorphic polygel and copy nectar injectors

know which early game weapons are OP and how to make them, as well as how to train the skills to make them quickly

know which early armour is OP and how to make it, as well as how to train the skills high enough to make it quickly

be extremely good and balancing encumberance so you're in best possible scenario when you fight

be good at the combat itself so you can pull even large hordes of zombies into favorable positions to fight them 1v1, like on a counter after they climb through a window, and still escape if you need to

have a clear enough escape that when you get fatigued you can just leave and go so basecamp stuff for the rest of the day then come back to continue fighting tomorrow

That's basically it. I can get myself a waxed quarterstaff and a full gambeson suit within the first day of an all zero skills character from the loot of 1 single house. With that you just fight them 1v1 in favorable conditions with no backpack until they're cleared out, leaving to sleep and eat and craft whenever you get fatigued. Zombies don't respawn if you smash them so you can just slow and steady clear the area during the first few days.

PC games

games made with small teams/one person on a budget of beer and pure passion

Console games

500mil gigaprojects made by an army of indians that somehow have worse gameplay

If only it was that easy. More often thsn not, strong stuff can outrun you or at least keep up with you and even if it is slower, you will often run into something else that you have to kill, giving it time to catch up again.
And then there are ranged enemies too.
You usually get scrolls of teleport to escape, but those are limited in quantity and iften take a few turns to activate, giving zhe enemy time to kill you.
But I admit that skill issue from my part might be a big issue too.

Honestly I'd do away with all these meters you need to manage. They just feel intrusive imo.

And that's a good thing

That's one of my favorite roguelikes, you know. I know it's new and I know it's paid but it's really unique and fun since I like imagining dumb stories as I play anyway and the only other roguelike that can even slightly compete with CoQ is ADoM but few share my same love of autistic ADoM chat

Which games

What character / build should I start as when I get home? Played a six armed axe mutant last time.

true kin esper

My favorite ability to build around is temporal fugue. Your shadowclones go crazy with every ability/grenade/gun you have equipped so you have to very deliberately build around it from the start and now allow yourself to get any abilities that the clones will be bad with, but if you plan it from the start you make a build that the clones are specifically good with. I like to make melee mutants with skills like double muscled, heightened quickness, photosynthetic skin, even wings(for charge and jump bonus on clones). You activate temporal fugue and then you get a group of crazy melee clones who all charge and jump around like crazy. You just have to deliberately unequip grenades and maybe even ranged weapons before you use it

Bad game

fire is your friend in these circumstances atleast it is for me. Try bumming a lighter off of the evac center NPC and luring zombies into fires made out of shrubs, benches, or even just paper sitting on the ground.
You may still get raped by Feral Humans but its a start.
a bonus for this is that the fire may kill the zombie, not you, which only really matters for zombie kids so you can skirt around the annoying mood debuff

This is my favourite build.
Fast strong berserker!
Precognition really rocks! It's just such a cool build overall!

You think a six armed axe guy was not a fast berseker? Bro...

But the character I posted is super badass and fun to play!
He is really huge and muscular with high starting strength and double muscles and really fast and agile because heightened quickness and he can swing even the biggest and heaviest weapons super fast with heightened Quickness + Backswing + Weapon Expertise and the enemy won't even be able to react because of double muscled and Bludgeon!!!
Also he can fly and jump and dash around really fast with the wings mutation!
And precognition is awesome! You can just throw yourself at encounters in reckless abandon because if you die and used precognition before, you can just travel back in time and go away, wait for precog to refresh and return until you win! And you can savely drink Neutron Flux to grow a natural suit of armor made from pure chiseled muscle! And once I get a supply of Eaters Nectar, I can reset for any mutationm I want, including multiple legs to make myself even more FAST!!!
On top of all of that, he has really soft, silky fur that just feels lovely to carrass!
He is just AWESOME!!!

ACKSHUALLY they look like this you little bitchTwerp (camelCase intended)

A literal spreadsheet sim
I love it
(I do own ir but havent played it)

Yeah they have the luxury of focusing on gameplay because they aren't tying to momentarily draw the attention of mouth-breathing consolepeasants.

even if it was made by mostly insane shitlib communist trannies

It's so good because of the insanity.

They're hypernerds that studied maths and have extremely fringe interests and worked on Qud for 13 years. Some fag that just came from game design college has all the soul educated out of him and can't hold a candle to a passion project by masterminds like this.

I remember a while back someone had this channel on youtube which was just a guy playing extremely in depth anesthesiologist training simulators. Loads of hour long uploads of this guy just slowly fiddling with anesthetics settings.

idk, it's a good game

(this is Anon Babble anon, in case you've forgotten)

graphics don't mat-

how do I play non-euclidian DorfFort?

It's unironically still more fun than most modern AAA sludge.
You just need an imagination to enjoy the game.

shitlib

Are you an idiot?

Even without sprites or a 3D engine, you can add a lot of atmosphere to a game with lighting alone.

Any good roguelikes I can play on phone? Stone Soup linda works in browser. The android ones are too simple and I don't like them.

The term "champagne socialist" is known to you?

nuCDDA is garbage, they added too much random shit

Zorbus is a reminder of just how slick a dungeon crawler actually can be.

Unity wrapper is just for console ports, underlying code is 99% an original engine. It's a big part of why the Godot port has been so easy for them to make

where's my wizard autism sim? I want to go wild with magic, turn people into frogs, make demi planes and cause all sorts of troubles

That's some commie shite.
This is how real PC games look like.

Is that Era Megaten? Or some other version?

Never fails to amuse me how stupid people like you are.
