Honorable mention to Bizarre Brigade, a free game inside another free game (Zenless Zone Zero). It has limited rogue-like elements and is reminiscent of mobile games.
Great video man!! Ty!
59:55 fall through floor
yeah you should play it more!
still gotta make it through the demo... more to come soon!
Looks like we got a journalist in the making
Looks interesting
It's been a great experience so far for sure. Very unique game
Nice game man! And gameplay too. :D
Gunblade build is neat too
Some swordsman passives are good for other builds too
The Old Staff was worse because the weapon is lower tier than witch staff overall.
Mallet cats are cat burglars. That trap is a thief trap. You easily get items stolen by the cats that spawn
yeah play more, this game is really good
Why don’t you sell the starter weapon? 3 of the runs you did would’ve benefited greatly from getting rid of it
I've started doing this recently. With all the meta upgrades it starts at tier 3 which makes it hard to let go at times
You’re so handsome ❤
Good luck - you can do it! Come and join the challenge 3 winners club :) btw - I uploaded the end of my run in case you wanted to try the same characters. I also included my stats from the tree in the desc.
I watched your video and tried a similar build. I'm getting closer but still can't survive!! ack
@@hixelbay LOL I have faith in you! I still can't believe I got them all done. It's a lot of RNG from the gear unfortunately. Eventually you'll get lucky with the bonuses on gear and get it.
this is my favourite game
Thanks so much for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it enough to play through the whole thing, as you say there are many things that need updating and/or fixing but I will be adding more diligently. Your feedback is incredibly appreciated and will be used. I will also just add that many spells don't take 3 slots but can just be 1 or 2 which opens up a ton of different other spells you can currently make, thank you again.
Damn, are you a solo dev!? The game looks awesome, I'll try whenever I get the chance!
@@Prrprrlmao I am a solo dev yes and thank you!
2:07 Juggernaut is not about staying still but mowing down bulldozing any enemies in your path.
An investment until Let Him Cook money starts rolling ;)
hey i just wanted to say, nice video! you've got good vibes, and im totally gonna be playing this game myself once i get home from work today lmao
I like the concept. Lately I've been addicted to vampire survivor-esque games (what do you even call this genre lol). Been playing holocure a lot. I like that it requires a bit of thinking in the inventory management and I like optimizing stuff. I also love the fantasy setting. Thanks for letting me know about this game, subbed.
You keep on unequiping the items you forged. Forged items auto equip you have 8 slots to equip items.
cool playthrough!
hi
Hixel Bay, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
Please don't tell me you gave up on Stand Survivors...I'm counting on you to show me the way LOL
Hahaha no no don't worry.. I'm still going at it and if I have a successful run I'll post it up! Hopefully soon!!
@@hixelbay LOL...I wish I could play it right now but I'm at work. I got him like half way down last nigh but couldn't do better.
This game is incredibly good. I just beat the 2nd challenge. Have you been able to beat challenge 3 yet?
I was honestly shocked at how much I liked it. Especially since it seems like a mid-level mobile game on the surface. Just finished 1st challenge only lol but finally getting the hang of it!
@@hixelbay omg yes - I almost passed over it but was bored after finishing black myth..very happy I tried it. The last boss is a PIA on challenge 3. I'm applying your strategy and got closer but I made a mistake upgrading a stand. I just realized the game will take your 3 star characters for upgrades so you have to be careful.
Let me know if you figure out how to beat him on challenge 3. I wonder if anyone's done it yet?
Megaman battle network mixed with your average roguelike deckbuilder. My friend you may have introduced me to a game to make a video on lmao
DO IT! This game has been such a great experience. I am not a fan of their style of anime aesthetics usually, but the gameplay itself got me hooked.
You seemed to figure out the game better than I am, and seem to have better strategy. I want to be able to get more Decode tokens. Can you give me some pointers? And what do you do at the beginning when you don't have very good cards?
Hey there! I think I just got lucky, to be honest... I usually like to play decks with lots of draw power in general, for any deckbuilder. In this game it works very very well. Decode tokens come to you when clearing more bosses in dungeon, so try to get a groove going and just keep grinding. If you don't have good cards at first, focus on Break cards as enemies are more easily broken than killed from depleting HP. This will allow you to play defensively and survive until you get some better cards! Hope that helps.
It's not a roguelike.
Very true, not a traditional one for sure. I've been battling my own thoughts on how I should be using roguelike vs. roguelite (or any other rogue-mix term), but "roguelike" is the most recognized term used for any games that have any kind of rogue inspired mechanics. Sorry if I misled you!
@@hixelbay Screw you man, your apology is empty and you're knowingly misusing the term.
I cant watch your choises of skills are super dumb
Loved your super-positive attitude, nice to see someone having fun with the learning process of a new game!
Thanks for your kind words! This kind of comment keeps me going!
Hey Hixel! Thanks for playing and for your enthusiasm! We've updated the demo to version 0.36, where we fixed and polished various elements and reworked the aiming system to address issues with weird missed shots. See you 🙂
Hey hey! Always so great to see you stop by on the Ammossum videos! You know I'll be keeping an eye out for ANY updates on the demo... can't wait to see the next phase for the game. Keep up up the great work!
Excellent final fight. Thank you for sharing. I finally got the game and started it a few days ago. I made it to the final boss today. No clue how much health it has left but I lasted what felt like a decent amount considering it was my first-time there. I had so few resources for healing. I must have missed this but what exactly does the Empathetic Staff do? Stoked to bang this one out and see what the new DLC brings!
Hey there! So great to hear that a new player has entered the world of Shiren, welcome! There is lots to learn... First about empathetic staff - when you hit an enemy with the bolt, any damage it does to you will be shared. Meaning, if he hits you for 5 dmg, he will also take 5 dmg. Honestly I don't love this staff unless it is early and it is all I have to work with. For boss fights, the best items are Invincibility Grass (~20 turns immune to everything), Rejuvenation Pot, Swift Grass, and any full room scrolls (slumber, confusion) that can help you ignore minions and focus on boss. Try that out!
@@hixelbay Hey! I meant to respond much earlier than this, but in a way, it's fitting since I just beat the game for the first time! Normally, I am pretty thorough with the later floors but this time around, the run was going extremely well that I decided to mad-dash the last handful of floors to prevent encountering problems and having to use precious resources. I was able to snag two Invincible Grass on the second-last floor which was wild. Very pleased to have beaten this and am eager to see what happens next. Someone said a boatload of stuff opens up after completing the first run. By the way, I played a bunch of Shiren 5 last year but never completed a run. I feel my experience with this one gives me a better idea how to approach it, so I'm excited to get back to that one eventually as well. Thanks for your response!
Dev here, awesome video!! You did really well getting to the second boss without any perma upgrades!! Thanks for covering the game and looking forward to seeing more of your content! :D
This game got me hooked! Can't wait to see everything else you have in store for us with Emberdrift!
Very nice
TOUHOU❤️
Thank you for the review! Good eye on calling out the weapon thrown by Loki was a Chakram haha :) Stay tuned for the release in a few months!
Can't wait! This game has been ridiculously addictive for me recently, been on my stream a few times too. Great work, keep it up!

OooOoOo I will have to check it out! Looks great
I started fairy tails anime and they are too much boo_bs
Hey Hixel! Thanks for checking out my game! What's the best way to get in touch with you? I would love to create a Hixel weapon for Reality Core!
Hey Justin! I had a great time trying the game, you've done some great work so far! I would be more than excited to see a cameo weapon in the game! Get me at hixel@hixelbay.com, chat soon!
