  • Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Part 6 - Anakin, what should we do about the younglings? Very Hard may have been stumping the crap out of me as stated in the video's beginning, but I was simply underestimating the power of having a giant pawn wall blocking off the enemy pieces. I may have cracked the code, we will find out for sure in King Mode!

    Was I alone in thinking that the introduction of the queen is a massive power spike? Even if so, I think I've cracked the code to get over that hump, more coming soon.

      Yeah, and I think it's intentional. The first few cards are preparing you for the Queen. Main reason I believe this is simply because its hardcoded to happen at a specific moment and the card appears nowhere else afaik, so it's kind of more like "the game begins" than a power spike imo

    5-7 range covers the entire board vertically, and the 11° angle made a really neat sniper build using 2 turns instead of 3 turns every cycle. (1 to shoot, 1 to reload vs 1 to change to sniper, 1 to shoot, 1 to reload) Your only weakness was corners really.

    @lucianoariasduval 2 роки тому +14

    I just want to share that rightful curtsy is pretty good despite what Tyler says. The knockback chance adds up rather than multiplying, so double curtsy is insanely strong. With moat you can keep pushing pieces behind the moat, holding your position. I'm pretty sure the only piece that can kill you when knocked is the knight, when shooting diagonally if it's right beside you. Queens, rooks and bishops can only kill you if you were in check already. I've already beaten the hardest difficulty and I've done some speedruns with moderate success. 1:42.01 (edit: updated time, that's a really strong run I just got, wanted to share it) on normal mode and 2:57.10 (edit: updated time, just had a good run) on hard mode. It's hard to consider the other two "speedruns", but my time on very hard is 7:53.81 and 11:27.13 on king mode. The top runner is insane though, she's actually cracked. Best of luck to Tyler! Make sure to give some of the "worse" upgrades a chance. I highly recommend loafers (strafe mode), specially in combination with other movement upgrades. I also found my favourite build recently, where you get sacred crown and censer with blunderbuss and you just soul into melee range of any piece, blow them up and repeat. Speedrunning this game has a great feel to it, specially with the extra comodity of the in-game clock.

    I just beat very hard today, it was insane, I owe the win to moat, strafe shot, and three loaded shots by the end.

    You know, I hadn't watched footage of this game before because I didn't have the energy to devote to another roguelite/like (side note, check out warm snow if you haven't already) but I think I like this one lol.

    I would say that if games on the next level die super fast, make a montage of them until you get one that doesnt die on the queen
