It's so funny how this little niche genre is growing. Each new game I see videos about looks better than the last, in terms of art, ability creativity, general design... just each one seems more and more enjoyable and well thought out
Death Must Die easily has the best level in the genre, but this is the only level right now. Thankfully you can scale the difficulty up a lot to get better loot. 2nd level drops in Q1 2024.
I feel like it's a fulfillment of the false promises those youtube ads give off. There's ono that comes to mind with the avatar moving forward shooting zombies running into power ups along the way. But if you ever download the game it's nothing actually like what was presented
I wouldn't call it niche anymore considering how popular Vampire Survivals is. What surprises me the most that someone actually managed to create a new genre for a video game in this day & age. A really good genre at that. Always having genuine fun when playing any game in that category.
Yea, I knew nothing of this game beforehand, and immidiately I realized Asmon can't play this game lol. Actually kinda pauinful to watch. Love the man nonetheless@@ryancoleman8482
i love when asmon plays games likes these. vampire survivor, halls of torment, etc. can put it on in the background while i work and then play the game later with my bro!
I would love to play other games like Vampire Survivor. However Their coding, and other aspect of their game got stolen by their mobile department, and many games are using those stolen properties to make their own games. So I can't in good faith give them money from stealing from one of my favorite games. This game looks like it uses some of VS with some interesting twists. From the Devs: It doesn't seem like the team were in a rush to get the mobile version out until clones started appearing. "Months passed by and a large number of actual clones - not "games like Vampire Survivors", but actual 1:1 copies with stolen code, assets, data, progression - started to appear everywhere. This forced our hand to release the mobile game ASAP, and put a lot of stress on the dev team that wasn't even supposed to worry about mobile in the first place."
Takes movement speed which doesnt do anything when auto-attacking instead of ball lightning (dash turns u into lightning, damaging enemies and allowing you to pass through them) "Movement speed is so good, ball lightning removing auto attack is so bad because i need to keep doing damage." Doesnt take Time Field during 2 burned rerolls because "its bad". Literally slows every enemy around you so you can avoid getting caught. "The problem i have is survivability and move speed." You gotta love it.
this game takes the amazing build variety and crazy good story flavor and art variety of Hades with the addictive gameplay of VS, themed on something similar to D1... im kind of in love.
Finally someone who sees Diablo 1 in this game... There's so much that looks like D1, heck when the rogue arrives the firemage literally says "Stay awhile and listen".
6:00 this game is already way better (more enjoyable) than vamp survivors. For one simple reason. Your spells actually TARGET enemies, like the meteors. They dont just randomly fall on empty space when enemies are on the other side waiting to get hit. There's something to say for randomness, but it can be extremely stupid if simple logic could dramatically increase fun factor (and effectiveness).
Man i really hope asmon plays more of this, i have 35 hours into the game, not even close to some of the people in the discord, theres so much to do in this game
I love the fact that people continue to make and play these games. I'm an Gen-X "old" timer... first generation home PC player/indie game and pixel art maker. This is how are games use to look like, well actually more pixelated because these are high-res pixel-art. But the genius in its simplicity and playability. And a great combat RPG... brings back memories.
@@ChrisInAVan On x30 the drops are plentiful, but of course, that comes with an difficulty increase. After your first Dracula kill, you'll be swamped in mythics.
@@SilentWhiskywhat are you even babbling about dude, for one - the game is in early access, and its a rogue like of course it will have elements of games like these
This game and soulstone survivors is great. both have the dash mechanic. This game feels like a survivors version of hades. I like how each character has a personality.
soulstone survivors is pretty fun I hope they find a new way to make it difficult though as eventually it just devolves into the entire floor is red circles and you have to just like kite around with the best meta moves to win.
Bro should have gone with that Frozen buff where your damage is increased 12% with each frozen enemy. You see how many enemies he froze at once!?!? He would have been a fuckin tank.
almost 200 hours in vampire survivors. started playing halls of torment a week ago, and absolutely love it - at a point where i've basically done everything so far in that game too. this looks like another amazing game in a rapidly growing genre. will definitely check it out! :D
This game is a prime example of simple equals fun sometimes. Triple A game devs should be reminded of this, I feel like a lot of them have forgot over time.
Cool game but it ends very fast, as of now it's like 6-7 hours and you can unlock almost everything (new updates will add more in due time). The main grind is gear. Gear is one of the best things about this game and what you can get is insane. For example 30+ skeletons and maybe 2 or more dragons just from your gear. Lifelink, lightning bolt, full fire, soulstealers are easiest ways to win. Only mage girl is ranged so first two options allow your melee characters effortlessly beat everything just by moving and dashing around. Gem high is broken too but depends on mob density. Random buffs per level is a fun one too (alternation ritual or something).
I was literally waiting for you to play this seeing how similar the style is to the last one like these that you did (I feel kind of embarrassed that I forgot it’s name, but then again I haven’t heard any buzz or news around it since)
There are a shit ton of amazing indie games out there, don't rely on asmon for that if you want to know more. He doesn't know much outside of Wow or what's popular/trending.
Been playing it for a while now Sorceress with sign of fire or sign of hydra is really fun. I think Asmon will prefer Barbarian with sign of tornado. The warrior is the last character unlock unfortunately. Very fun game
I'm glad to see him play that game after that I've completed the hardest modifiers. He should give Soulstone Survivors a go next, I think he'll love the intensity.
@@taylon5200 Y'all don't know what depth is, lmao. Every ability is the same "fill the screen with a different color and different reskinned DoT" every passive is "le biggr numbar" and every enemy is kited the same way. Soulstone is the FURTHEST from having depth in a survivorlike. It's all content bloat, absolutely ZERO depth. Mind boggling how people think Asmon will enjoy a game without a hint of strategical value or unique abilities after having played WoW his entire life.
Unlocked everything already and still wanna play more - sadly as of now, there is more content. But it was a great time and imo it is better than Halls of Torment. The only "not so good" part about Death must Die is the lack of really good items... Tip for anyone who wants to play Death must Die - Roll for "Death" blessings - Soul Eater + Ravens of Pestilence + Deadly Strike + Mayhem - this will give you almost unlimited Damage - Killed the Endboss in 2 Hits 😅 The earlier you get Mayhem the better - it gives + 0,1 - 0,2 % Dmg per Enemy killed with Curse
This game is dope. Watching you auto attack constantly and move at a snails pace kills me. Also not constantly moving from buff to buff kills me. You have killed me. I am dead.
The constant stream of buffs caught me off too at first you play it wrong. Best way is to go hunt them and dont stop but he's new to it be gentle its innovative and fun and I'm so glad Asmon is playing it for the money that will be brought to the devs :D
I hope we get a series out of this, like how he got hooked on Vamp Survivor. Asmond will love this game, it's got loot, its got builds, an he can learn whats good an bad. With each character he plays lol
Nice I was wondering when Asmon was gonna find this game, it's crazy addictive and the build variety you can do is amazing, can't wait for the next chapter release we get a archer character and a new god and new blessings for existing gods.
I would max out the difficulty each run going forward, so you can reach max difficulty more quickly and get better items. Also, turn auto-attack off and aim and attack with your mouse. It allows directional attacking and let's you maneuver better.
ok so the evolution so far goes like: Vampire survivors > holo cure > halls of torment > death must die soulstone survivors is in there somewhere are we eventually gonna reach just diablo 1 ?
btw the "When enemies attack you do a fireball/smite" is REALLY good when you become more tanky. Nixi hits twice really fast, so she scales better with "on attack" / "on hit" effects. edit: or if you go for max evasion, as long as enemies are attacking you but not hitting you, you'll be spaming fireballs and smites.
Oh you mean flare, not fireballs. Yeah, I tend to stay away from flare and smite all the time lol. Il try an evasion build with nixi and see how that goes.
@@BaconNationChannel not evasion, luck. Luck improves all the % skills - IIRC 100 luck gives 45% flare chance -> 90% chance. Nixi can reliably get very busted skill chances - and a guaranteed flare
Halls of Torment = Diablo survivors Death must Die = Hades survivors Now he needs to try "Soulstone Survivors". It's literally "Path of Exile Survivors".
Vampire survivors new DLC is a part 2 in a part 1 game. Getting 700 damage now, all 6 weapon evolutions. Vampire survivors is massive now and free. Asmongold would freak if he played the ode to castlevania DLC. Looks like Survivor games are now a genre like metroidvania
You should 1. use your dash more and 2. try to explore to get more shrines, you'll gain abilities and buffs from them, such as higher luck or better chance at higher tier upgrades.
You don't own a pc? Poverty level has been updated to include a PC as a min viable standard of living today. I will contribute to a fund if u create one.
I love how for the sake of entertainment he hypes everything about the game. He picked Meteors, and then goes "OH MY GOD! THIS IS INSANE!" while it's the beginning of the game and you one-shot most enemies with the basic attack. Also, I think attacks that kill enemies far away are a trap on the early game because you need the XP crystals, and they kill enemies far from you, so it takes longer to level up.
I love watching this game but it’s SO FRUSTRATING watching Asmon stay in the spawn in area for like the whole run and not explore at all. Gives me so much anxiety lol
So if Vampire Survivors is Castlevania and Halls of Torment is Diablo 1/2 then Death Must Die is Diablo 3 with a smidge of Hades thrown into the mix. The genre is getting more complex as time goes by. Let's hope it doesn't get oversaturated.
@1:05:54 You died cause the mage threw a spread of fireballs that you took entirely at point zero so you took damage from every single fireball killing you right on the spot.
19 minutes in, i bought the game. love it, i was on it for hours. So far i unlocked the mage and assassin. mage is my favorite, assassin dies too fast.
Man goes in with a new character no equipment, makes it as far as he did with a character with equipment and a way better load out, and says na let me be worse
Asmongold: Was so happy to learn that in PoE2 you can AIM your attacks Also Asmongold: Literally doesnt use that feature when presented to him in a game
Biggest mistake: Not dropping white items and replacing them with new items when inventory is full Second biggest mistake: Has multiple spells and 1 attack. Goes for 12% attack damage instead of buffing ALL spells which means he lost out on AoE, damage, survivability and so on. Spell speed is just far too good especially when you consider the fact it applies to all spells. Investing everything into an auto attack that now functions more like a support than a damage skill is a horrible idea
I played 300 hrs of this game and only encountered 10 bugs , and only 3 of them were crashes, on which i could still load the last save and didnt lose any progress , 100% checked every corner and the maps for invisible wall spots.
Would also recommend to people that like games like this Death Must Die, Vampire Survivors, and Holocure - Save the Fans you might like Halls of Torment which is essentially Diablo + Vampire Survivors. There is also Star Survivor which is as it sounds Vampire Survivors in space shooting aliens in a star ship. There are quite a few of these games now and it is nice to see more of them coming although some of them are looking pretty weird like Time Survivors (Upcoming game), and Sexy Mystic Survivors... need I say more about that last one I think we all know what that one is about (NSFW).
Pro Tip: You need to traverse the map to find more buff statues, healing wells and chests... you are nerfing your character, as time progresses, as you keep staying in the same spot.
Thoughts on the Light No Fire trailer? You said you couldnt forgive the launch of No Mans Sky but would you give Hello Games a second chance after NMS's redemption?
Played wow for so long how is it not a reflex to check shift for comparison? This "mechanic" has been adopted by numerous games, not sure who used it first but it's ancient.
Some of these big ARPG studios should take notes on why this game is so well liked. It's simple, it's addictive but most of all it puts the player front and center. It makes the player the hero and main character. Some of the biggest ARPG's today like D4 and POE in addition to having become so bloated, obtuse and overcomplicated, have kinda forgotten to put the player front and center. The player in modern ARPG's is but a mere speck in a giant world, just a viewer in a convoluted story, and just another rando in a huge multiplayer or MMO world. D1 had that essence. D2 did to some degree too, but with each iteration everything got bigger while the player got smaller.
Yeah, and what surprises me personally is the fact that instead of haranguing this swindle plagiarist of a developer, Asmond decided to give him some free publicity
1:12:00 - "It is not for death to decide when to take a life" Dude what? That's literally his job. I see justice is retarded not only in our world but in that fantasy world as well. I feel like the story in this game is about a bunch of jealous gods ganking up on another god for being stronger than them.
It's so funny how this little niche genre is growing. Each new game I see videos about looks better than the last, in terms of art, ability creativity, general design... just each one seems more and more enjoyable and well thought out
Death Must Die easily has the best level in the genre, but this is the only level right now. Thankfully you can scale the difficulty up a lot to get better loot. 2nd level drops in Q1 2024.

I would max out the difficulty each run going forward, so you can reach max difficulty more quickly and get better items. Also, turn auto-attack off and aim and attack with your mouse. It allows directional attacking and let's you maneuver better.
Auto aim is fine. I beat the game with auto aim on a fight stick.

I love how for the sake of entertainment he hypes everything about the game. He picked Meteors, and then goes "OH MY GOD! THIS IS INSANE!" while it's the beginning of the game and you one-shot most enemies with the basic attack. Also, I think attacks that kill enemies far away are a trap on the early game because you need the XP crystals, and they kill enemies far from you, so it takes longer to level up.
I love watching this game but it’s SO FRUSTRATING watching Asmon stay in the spawn in area for like the whole run and not explore at all. Gives me so much anxiety lol
So if Vampire Survivors is Castlevania and Halls of Torment is Diablo 1/2 then Death Must Die is Diablo 3 with a smidge of Hades thrown into the mix. The genre is getting more complex as time goes by. Let's hope it doesn't get oversaturated.
it will
The moment Fire Goddess showed up, I went on Steam and bought the game.
The moment Fire Goddess showed up I knew the voice acting sucks.
Asmon suffers from a common streamer disease. Not fully reading abilities or paying attention to the UI.
I love these games. They're cheap with a ton of replay - ability! Definitely worth the money.
@1:05:54 You died cause the mage threw a spread of fireballs that you took entirely at point zero so you took damage from every single fireball killing you right on the spot.
Hey Chris Wilson, if you are reading this: Great league! Thanks for all the hard work on poe
This one seems to punish using auto attack far more than the other two games. Not that you can turn it off in VS that is
Yes, autoattack is a noobtrap.
Game looks good! Gonna need to try it out! :D
It is i had hours of fun in it. The gear only gets better and better trust me (im not trying to spoil anything here)
Goddess of Fire: "I'm like totally here to help you dude, just wait while i finish polishing my nails."
This looks fun I might start playing
You should, for the price vs hours you will enjoy out of it it's well worth it
19 minutes in, i bought the game. love it, i was on it for hours. So far i unlocked the mage and assassin. mage is my favorite, assassin dies too fast.
I HAVENT EVEN WATCHED CYA
1:05:53 Is the best single frame of asmond. The "oh shit I'm dead" face. 🤣
Hey Asmon, this was very entertaining to watch. ❤️🇲🇾
You need to try champion shift prologue
The only thing yo know is goda tranforms to cars 😂😂😂
SOMEONE TELL HIM TO STOP AUTO-ATTACKING. IT MAKES YOU SLOW.
Man goes in with a new character no equipment, makes it as far as he did with a character with equipment and a way better load out, and says na let me be worse
Asmongold: Was so happy to learn that in PoE2 you can AIM your attacks
Also Asmongold: Literally doesnt use that feature when presented to him in a game
Biggest mistake: Not dropping white items and replacing them with new items when inventory is full
Second biggest mistake: Has multiple spells and 1 attack. Goes for 12% attack damage instead of buffing ALL spells which means he lost out on AoE, damage, survivability and so on. Spell speed is just far too good especially when you consider the fact it applies to all spells. Investing everything into an auto attack that now functions more like a support than a damage skill is a horrible idea
love how the game is basically 'Hades' and 'Vampire Survivors' combined.
I played 300 hrs of this game and only encountered 10 bugs , and only 3 of them were crashes, on which i could still load the last save and didnt lose any progress , 100% checked every corner and the maps for invisible wall spots.
Would also recommend to people that like games like this Death Must Die, Vampire Survivors, and Holocure - Save the Fans you might like Halls of Torment which is essentially Diablo + Vampire Survivors. There is also Star Survivor which is as it sounds Vampire Survivors in space shooting aliens in a star ship. There are quite a few of these games now and it is nice to see more of them coming although some of them are looking pretty weird like Time Survivors (Upcoming game), and Sexy Mystic Survivors... need I say more about that last one I think we all know what that one is about (NSFW).
spell damage increases the damage of all damage sources that is NOT Basic attack.
"im not used to dodging, if that makes sense"
yep. makes perfect sense.
How there isn't a natural reflex to pick up crystals is mind blowing. He's consistently 2-4 levels behind lmfao
is this the third cool game in this genre? Vampire survivours -> Halls of Torment -> Death Must Die?
is there another game that I missed here?
its crazy how much Asmongold sells these games for the developer just by posting 1 video
Pro Tip: You need to traverse the map to find more buff statues, healing wells and chests... you are nerfing your character, as time progresses, as you keep staying in the same spot.
What's this sub-genre gonna be called?
Slot Machine Hack-n-Slash?
I'm all for it, glad to see more of them.
Thoughts on the Light No Fire trailer?
You said you couldnt forgive the launch of No Mans Sky but would you give Hello Games a second chance after NMS's redemption?
lol from the thumbnail on phone I got super excited. Thought he played d2. Looks like an assassin trap ability.
i love that skeleton archer mini boss, i fully imagine a Skeleton/Waluigi laugh
Played wow for so long how is it not a reflex to check shift for comparison? This "mechanic" has been adopted by numerous games, not sure who used it first but it's ancient.
make sure you pick 1 blessing at the camp fire "After unlocking"
I always love this type of detailed pixel art style. I would love to try this game someday
The game is like $7 on steam :)
@@hencytjoe yeh ill buy it soon

Some of these big ARPG studios should take notes on why this game is so well liked. It's simple, it's addictive but most of all it puts the player front and center. It makes the player the hero and main character.
Some of the biggest ARPG's today like D4 and POE in addition to having become so bloated, obtuse and overcomplicated, have kinda forgotten to put the player front and center. The player in modern ARPG's is but a mere speck in a giant world, just a viewer in a convoluted story, and just another rando in a huge multiplayer or MMO world.
D1 had that essence. D2 did to some degree too, but with each iteration everything got bigger while the player got smaller.
so.. basically a combination of Halls of Torment and Hades?.....
Yeah, and what surprises me personally is the fact that instead of haranguing this swindle plagiarist of a developer, Asmond decided to give him some free publicity
Finally some Hades/Vampire Survivors mash up. Took them long enough.
This last year I’ve started playing this genre and going between Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment and Hades. I guess I’m getting another lol…
Another Vampire Survivors-like. Although I do like the new additions to the gameplay loop.
I swear my life is on loop. I keep seeing asmon play a different variation of the exact same game over and over
It really took a while for someone to add Hades style to one of these games. I like it
Taking the interesting characters granting you powers from hades and adding it into the suvivors genre is a pretty good idea i'm gunna buy this game.
If Hades had the same amount of mobs as PoE, with 8bit graphics. This is that game.
1:12:00 - "It is not for death to decide when to take a life"
Dude what? That's literally his job. I see justice is retarded not only in our world but in that fantasy world as well.
I feel like the story in this game is about a bunch of jealous gods ganking up on another god for being stronger than them.
It's just that the lore was made by someone who thinks that lower-casing the edgy character is the peak of comedy.
1:28 the reason is GARLIC! It just doesn't cut it late game xD
