I just want to point out that Brume and Featherfall are both from the same developer / publisher, Sockpop Collective. They make a game every two weeks, so they are kind of like game jam games. Sometimes it's really cool to see what they were able to make in such a tight time frame.

That dodge upgrade is actually surprisingly truthful, for IIRC, 0.016 seconds is a single frame at 60 FPS. Likely a rounding issue, but it offers upgrades by frame.
10:23 Ok, just you missed "Erectus Bitedefer" means "Erectus Irond*ck" in French. I bet it's not just a random thing, but planned as he's talking about "regenerating fluids"
When a game are so iconic it became a genre... Example was DoTA... Back then there was no league, no HoS even the terms MOBA wasn't a thing... So soul-like games just need a term that all people agree with.. A lot of games are still not categories in genres.. which cause some issues in copyrighting.. some of them are minecraft = alot of blatant minecraft copy out there we all know, but there also some good one that doesn't copy but still could get striked because people still don't agree that minecraft is fall under genre of "sandbox open world survival game" SOWS (we still need improve the term on this one) Another example of game that */should/* become a genre are Dynasty Warriors (DW) Series... In china, there is a term for this kind of game it called "Grass-Cutter" game, most DW-like games are actually made from the same developer/publisher, Tecmo Koei, One Piece, Samurai Warior, Gundam Battle, etc... So people don't categories this thing (because it was made by same company).. but at the same time there alot DW-like games (maybe) are not from Tecmo Koei like Onimusha(capcom) and Sengoku Basara.. There is no body, agent entity, that could standardise the games category... Which cause a confusion... Just like like Soul-like game (people still arguing about it because it has no term).. or worst one, day people will mixed up Grass-Cutter games with Soul-like one...
"You can increase your dodge speed by 0.0015 seconds" Just like Dark Souls. By level 200 if you put everything into it, you would be 0.2 seconds faster. Just like Dark Souls.
Wouldn't it be 0.3 seconds faster? 😉 Edit: The extra invulnerability frames from adaptability do add up and help a lot, in dark souls 2. It is just kind of BS.
I made it to the end of the playlist, starting from episode 20! It really WAS a heck of an adventure, seeing all the variations that can come up in the genre! I learned a lot about how bad things can TRULY BE in a game that's ACTUALLY FOR SALE, and I learned to never underestimate art style in terms of a game's charm!
Sword Spirit Actually looks kinda sick. The style of it gives me Zone of Enders vibes for some reason. Someone needs to get on a translation patch for that game. It looks stylish and smooth enough to be a pretty fun, game.
I completely agree. Visually the main character reminds me of Raziel of Legacy of Kain, and the gameplay seems more like metal gear rising with a side of warframe.
I had a chuckle when I saw the name of the character at around 10:10, Erectus Bitedefer is a play of words in french, it basically mean "Bonerus IronD*ck" haha
You said you want to branch out into other game genres. There is a hidden gem called "Stories the Path of Destinies" which is a top down fighting adventure game with quite appealing combat, that is basically a timetravel adventure book. It's a great game with really great characters and a very appealing art style. It's really a game I hope gains some traction so we can get more from this developer tbh.
@@jellyfishjig Fun fact: I was absolutely not aware of that weird fetish when I created it. Tough I am still amused when I see people reacting to it. :)
@@cryswhyle That's fantastic! I wondered if that was the case, cause if you were referencing the fetish your profile pic would probably be a bit... different than it is.
So Featherfall was made by a studio called Sokpop collective, who basically make a game like every month or so and get money through patreon. At the end of last year they added all 100+ of their games to steam, so that's why it didn't have any reviews cause it's only been on steam for 2 months even though it's been released for like a year. Edit: I'm like 80% sure Brune is Sokpop too
@@christianbrighten6092 it looks generic because in the video it's still very early game. Later on you have a large skill tree, two ultimates to choose from, many open areas to explore, tons of side quests, a home base system with crafting/farming, and an engaging story. I can confirm this game is good, a solid 8/10 game.
I literally bought Guijian a few weeks before this vid came out, would highly recommend if it goes on sale, especially if you have a controller you can plug in, it's basically playing a Wuxia novel, so if you're into that, highly recommend.

@@phildigiglio6986 Holy shit you have no idea how helpful this was. I've been trying to figure out what specific OS:RS song this was for a few months. Thank you kind stranger.
@@F2PMegaGod I did, several times. The problem is there are hundreds of songs in the OSRS soundtrack. Really easy to skip over it while searching through.
Translation from Russian in Egress: "Hey, can you go and kill this monster? I can't reach it from there!" "Your battle is over. You might just behold the madness bestowed upon your enemies." "The Ctulhu is playing!"
It's a shame egress is so bad. The concept of a pvp focused soulslike was interesting, and the original world style they advertised was eldritch retrowave.
I was working on Egress) Basiaclly I was the game director for the first year, but also technical artist/designer/programmer - and I loved the "lovecraftian retrowave" that we made. The thing is I wanted to make Bloodbprne-like game in "lovecraftian retrowave" - I came with that weird style and with help of our artist I think we did pretty good job on making the world - you can check early trailers. But investors wanted us to make multiplayer game - because "PUBG IS POPULAR LETS MAKE PUBG". So I came up with that pitch of "pvp focused soulslike". I that was my huge mistake. Because I know nothing about PvP, I don't play, I don't like it. So on released the game had - as I think - pretty fine visual - but it was unplayble. So I left the project and the new multiplayer-oriented director came in. And well... it was weird) What was happening to game in attempt to "make it work" after my quit is big mystery to me) I hope it can be a good lesson for game developers - don't make a game if you don't love it. Don't make it just because it's "popular genre", it won't work
@@MurphyAndFriends I'm not entirely sure, but it should be something very early on and not part of membership. It might even be the soundtrack of either Lumbridge, Varrock or Falador.
Yeah, when he said Sword Spirit my assumption was that it was probably intended to be Sword Souls, but I didn't know for sure. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Eugene Rider 魄 is pretty much the same as 魂. I personally prefer translating "Spirit" into "灵” because "恶灵" is always associated with "evil spirit" but not "evil soul". I am not saying the Google translation(it still sucks) is necessarily wrong, just wanna provide the most "common" version known by us. After all you can say "Dark Souls" are similar to "Shaded Spirits", but it creates some disconnections for most of us.
I just discovered this channel with the latest video in this series and decided to go back. I love your style of rating the game as you go and summarising your thoughts. I have to say, hearing you sigh during H no Hero as your character spun around in the air was pretty funny
@@guyofminimalimportance7 I believe the term all the souls ganes and things like nioh codevein, fall under is masocore. Essentially a subgenre, basically designed to frustrate players. Through either difficulty or complex mechanics.
@@guyofminimalimportance7 True, not an expert, just heard the term the other day with a brief explanation. But as to being souls like, I think the games, needs a safe point(bonfire,lantern,shrine,mistle) and a currency gained from enemies that can be lost at death.
You really don't need to be that rich. Just raid a local fountain of all the coins stupid people throw in there (seriously, it's not a wishing well, what the fuck are you doing) and you have more than enough spare change to kill a man.
I don't think Mirador was bad, but it had all of it's content made by other players. While that concept can work, when it does that is usually because the player can pick and choose stuff they think would be interesting. Just having it be a random selection does not work without some kind of filtering system, since most encounters are going to just be these basic, barely functional enemies.
I just went from your most recent video in this series all the way through to this one. It's kinda nice to see where this started and how it has grown from this first video.
"I cant believe I spent money on this" If noone's said it in the comments already, thank you for taking your time and hard earned money to look into titles that good or bad, falls into the ether that is steam. This viewer always appreciates those who, entertaining videos that these may be, ultimately put up videos that help the greater good. Have a wonderful day/night Mr. Iron Pineapple.
@@Chance57 It's likely he doesnt get to refund the majority of these. Also, I try and keep in mind that ultimately, whatever he earns from these videos are his money. He doesn't necessarily have to reinvest as much as he does, especially if some of these video games get very little play per cost ratio. I appreciate the willingness to do so when he could chase a different, or even, more free to play only trend...
I actually tried out featherfall when I first saw this video, and it's pretty damn fun. Pretty short, but pretty fun too. As he said it actually might be really fun to speedrun since there are a lot of skips that were overlooked in the level design.
As far as I'm concern. Any game on Steam that have the word "Hentai" on it's title is trash...Its either an absolute trash or a "top of the barrel trash".
Surge 1 and 2 are pretty rough but I highly recommend them because I love playing them, their combat loops are so satisfying that I always come back eventually

@@phildigiglio6986 Holy shit you have no idea how helpful this was. I've been trying to figure out what specific OS:RS song this was for a few months. Thank you kind stranger.
@@VisionT100 why didnt you just search in the game's soundtrack bruh? xD
@@F2PMegaGod I did, several times. The problem is there are hundreds of songs in the OSRS soundtrack. Really easy to skip over it while searching through.
8:04 My boy Artorias really needs to eat a sandwich or something.
"Or something."
Life has been hard, man.
9:52 "not sure what to expect with this one"
I would probably expect demonetization.
Fun fact: the name of the game, "hentai no hero" roughly translates to "pervert hero" or just "hentai hero" in case its talking about the FORM OF ART
Translation from Russian in Egress:
"Hey, can you go and kill this monster? I can't reach it from there!"
"Your battle is over. You might just behold the madness bestowed upon your enemies."
"The Ctulhu is playing!"
“He’s throwing money at me. He’s throwing bags of money at me” lol
This skill is a long run meme kinda skill in the series,damage reflected by the sum of your money,so in late game it's actually THE killing blow.
It's a shame egress is so bad. The concept of a pvp focused soulslike was interesting, and the original world style they advertised was eldritch retrowave.
The maps and models, assuming they weren't all asset flipped, were really freaking cool as well.
I mean, game doesn't look that bad visually
It's *literally* Fortnite meets Bloodborne meets Demon Souls
I know this is more unintentional and a product of laziness but sometimes these asset-flip worlds have an ethereal, dreamlike charm to them
I was working on Egress) Basiaclly I was the game director for the first year, but also technical artist/designer/programmer - and I loved the "lovecraftian retrowave" that we made. The thing is I wanted to make Bloodbprne-like game in "lovecraftian retrowave" - I came with that weird style and with help of our artist I think we did pretty good job on making the world - you can check early trailers. But investors wanted us to make multiplayer game - because "PUBG IS POPULAR LETS MAKE PUBG". So I came up with that pitch of "pvp focused soulslike". I that was my huge mistake. Because I know nothing about PvP, I don't play, I don't like it. So on released the game had - as I think - pretty fine visual - but it was unplayble. So I left the project and the new multiplayer-oriented director came in. And well... it was weird) What was happening to game in attempt to "make it work" after my quit is big mystery to me) I hope it can be a good lesson for game developers - don't make a game if you don't love it. Don't make it just because it's "popular genre", it won't work
11:36 Tfw feeling when you try to talk to someone but you accidentally just stab them to death. So relatable
3:22 The Runescape Nostalgia hit me hard with that music
Rainbarf Rex what rs song is that? It’s making me very nostalgic
@@MurphyAndFriends I'm not entirely sure, but it should be something very early on and not part of membership. It might even be the soundtrack of either Lumbridge, Varrock or Falador.
@@MurphyAndFriends Harmony, the Lumbridge theme.
@@arkna6083 It's not Harmony, it's Autumn Voyage.
@Derp Derpieson Has the correct answer if anyone else is wondering!
15:28 dudes so fast he was fighting his after image
"you were killed by life circumstances"
dude, honestly, same.
8:52 thanks for putting that part in!
It's like the cockatiel in Citizen Kane. Some Orson Welles level s*** out of nowhere. Iron Hitchcock over here.
Bless you.
That moment when you can hear Runescape music in the background of the featherfall game. Either copyright or Pineapple added this in. I have no idea!
Dude I realized that too. I was waiting to hear the goblin death sound.
I'm actually playing RuneScape as I watch this - I thought I had somehow accidentally turned my music on in-game.
fuckin a i knew i recognized the music
The same music plays across several gameplay cuts seamlessly, so it's definitely not coming from the game.
The music during Brume also has a RuneScape feel to it but I don't recognize it so I can't be 100% sure.
"Erectus Bitedefer" LMAO, French people will understand
Some how I feel I've seen a similar name in a skyrim mod,you know,that kind of mod.
mais tellement!! 😂
i'm not french so i don't understand, and also google translate doesn't help
@@omnical6135 Erectus = Erection but roman style and bitedefer = MetalDick

nice
The Rhythm Thief music?
i didn't expect something even more GOAT'ed here.
Do you happen to know the music at 8:02
Dark Souls translate to Chinese can be “黑魂”，so that “剑魂” is more like “Sword Souls”
Yeah, when he said Sword Spirit my assumption was that it was probably intended to be Sword Souls, but I didn't know for sure. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
That's 剑魄, google translate is correct.
Dark Souls has been Dark Spirit all along
How u translate Kungflu?
Eugene Rider 魄 is pretty much the same as 魂. I personally prefer translating "Spirit" into "灵” because "恶灵" is always associated with "evil spirit" but not "evil soul". I am not saying the Google translation(it still sucks) is necessarily wrong, just wanna provide the most "common" version known by us. After all you can say "Dark Souls" are similar to "Shaded Spirits", but it creates some disconnections for most of us.
I just discovered this channel with the latest video in this series and decided to go back. I love your style of rating the game as you go and summarising your thoughts. I have to say, hearing you sigh during H no Hero as your character spun around in the air was pretty funny
My man having mental breakdowns for our entertainment. Top notch
"You were killed by:Life circumstances"
boy if I had a nickle
@4:27
"this game is flipping hardcore dude"
welcome to the souls-like genre.
“Souls like” to most critics now is it just has to be mildly difficult
@@guyofminimalimportance7 I believe the term all the souls ganes and things like nioh codevein, fall under is masocore. Essentially a subgenre, basically designed to frustrate players. Through either difficulty or complex mechanics.
@@guyofminimalimportance7 True, not an expert, just heard the term the other day with a brief explanation. But as to being souls like, I think the games, needs a safe point(bonfire,lantern,shrine,mistle) and a currency gained from enemies that can be lost at death.
Remember when most critics were totally on board the Souls Like Train when Demon's Souls came out?
I thought it just means clunky outdated combat.
14:25 Imagine being so rich you can kill a man by pelting him with your pocket change.
Dragon's Dogma has that feature, actually.
It's the most viable way of killing the final DLC boss on a low-level run.
Sekiro has that feature
You really don't need to be that rich. Just raid a local fountain of all the coins stupid people throw in there (seriously, it's not a wishing well, what the fuck are you doing) and you have more than enough spare change to kill a man.
You clearly haven't played pokemon
@@vitriolicAmaranth or just buy one of those arrows that 1 shots anything
I don't think Mirador was bad, but it had all of it's content made by other players.
While that concept can work, when it does that is usually because the player can pick and choose stuff they think would be interesting. Just having it be a random selection does not work without some kind of filtering system, since most encounters are going to just be these basic, barely functional enemies.
12:05 "This is Dobby. Dobby has a club."
How did this turn into an HP fanfic
Master has given Dobby a club
featherfall looks dope
yea agreed i might pick it up lol
edit: it's 3 bucks, i secured the bag boys
I just went from your most recent video in this series all the way through to this one. It's kinda nice to see where this started and how it has grown from this first video.

13:18 "Okay now here's this giant enemy crab."
It's basically Dark Souls.

That battle Royal with the Fisher city looked wery cool.
Maybe Chuthulu drove everyone mad. 1:15
2:54 Pathologic 3 is looking great!
"Thank you for your support."
Yeah, I'm refunding this
Honestly, I think the Egress pitch coulda' made something pretty neat, if they had the right Life Circumstances. Sword Spirit looks neat, too.
That weird crow thing he turned into at the end was honestly cute and you can't tell me otherwise.

"I cant believe I spent money on this"
If noone's said it in the comments already, thank you for taking your time and hard earned money to look into titles that good or bad, falls into the ether that is steam. This viewer always appreciates those who, entertaining videos that these may be, ultimately put up videos that help the greater good.
Have a wonderful day/night Mr. Iron Pineapple.
If the video was sponsored and monetizes and he refunded the non enjoyable ones, what has he lost or even risked?
@@Chance57 It's likely he doesnt get to refund the majority of these. Also, I try and keep in mind that ultimately, whatever he earns from these videos are his money. He doesn't necessarily have to reinvest as much as he does, especially if some of these video games get very little play per cost ratio. I appreciate the willingness to do so when he could chase a different, or even, more free to play only trend...
Sokpop (the creators of Featherfall) looks like an amazing dev team! I have just checked them in their steam.
"I wonder if i can just chill underwater?"
Takes damage
"Yeah i guess i can"
Dies
*Surprised pikachu face*
Well, drowning damage makes sense. Drowning damage AFTER you get out of the water though? Who'd expect that in games today?
@@macenanoro826 I guess it was poison :D
he died outside of water were you even watching the video? i mean come on
@@omnical6135 yeah but that doesnt make my joke work so shh

"These games have all been compared to darksouls"
Mordhau: "Pha! You jest!"
I actually tried out featherfall when I first saw this video, and it's pretty damn fun. Pretty short, but pretty fun too. As he said it actually might be really fun to speedrun since there are a lot of skips that were overlooked in the level design.
As far as I'm concern. Any game on Steam that have the word "Hentai" on it's title is trash...Its either an absolute trash or a "top of the barrel trash".
Shiny_Stone Hentai Haven sfw, coming to a steam page near you
Yep it's trash
That or it's so bad it's good lol
Or funny lol
Deep Space Waifu is a pretty Good Bullet Hell
Surge 1 and 2 are pretty rough but I highly recommend them because I love playing them, their combat loops are so satisfying that I always come back eventually
3:40 Thats why its not a morningstar but a flail :ddd morningstars don't need physics, its a stick with a spiky ball.

I heard it and just got smacked with nostalgia
