    First impression, from this video, is that the game would benefit from allowing the player to store one item that is not equipped for the purpose of combining lower level equipment.

      @@jac6548 It’s too frustrating in the early stages to be limited to four item slots, only being able to combine items at certain points on the map, and be forced to dump an item you might want to keep to hold onto a duplicate that you may not find an artisan for. AND even if you do manage to combine it before the boss tracks you down, you can’t recover the item you were forced to leave behind, so you may have to fight the boss with an empty equipment slot. Even with eight slots, it’s a struggle to work around, and near impossible with four (when arguably a single upgraded item would have the most impact).

      @@Splattercatgaming @jac6548 With RNG, finding the right items and the combiners, might make the odds so poor as to not be worth it. Having a loot train/bag would help make item combiners more consistently interesting (instead of just "I can do nothing with this, yet again"), and encourage the player to keep mixing up your play style; less impressive loot in your bag might suddenly have a chance to be something better and worth mixing up your kit!⚔

    Games like Terraria and Caves of Qud taught me that graphics are not the be all end all for games. There are a ton of gems out there (Path of Achra, odd realm, Rise to ruin to name a few) that I enjoy and frequently would rather play those over high graphic games. This game really vibes for me and I loved Loop Hero. Perhaps this is the next fun iteration of it!

    @nehpets216 Місяць тому +24

    The First Turn is an attack with Titan's Edge and then you don't attack on the 2nd, So double damage first turn with the double strike first turn is a build focusing on alpha strike. Then if you fail the first turn kill it's a risk due to the every other turn nature of the rest of the battle. (depending on the enemy it's not a huge risk)

    Took me about 2 seconds of viewing to get me hooked, and after some 2 minutes had passed, I paused the video, went to the Steam store page and downloaded the game. Upon launching the game I was met with a Steam info-window tellling me this game is best played a controller, any controller, which I found to be pretty neat since many games do not have proper controller support, not even those that severly needs it and are made by big studios. So, the game starts, it's in swedish!? As well as english and chinese. Very few games are in swedish, so this piqued my interest even further. Now, it seems that the text was first written in english and then later translated to swedish, as there are a few english words intermixed with the swedish. There are also some so-called swenglish words and expressions (english words used with swedish pronouciation and grammar added, which can come of as infantile and in some cases straight up wrong), it leads me to belive that whoever wrote the text for this game is either quite young and lacks reading and writing experience, or used some kind of software to auto-translate (or both).
    The game, and the gameplay loop, is indeed hooking. With some poolishing and tuning I can see this become a big hit. And the chip-tune music fits just about right. I look forward to seeing this game completed.

    Muppet: things on top of the head are eyes,, pupils pointing to the bottom right. Face protrusion is the tongue, black part above ist the mouth, the 2 pixels in the mouth are teeth.
    Monster: things on top of the head are horns, face protrusion is the nose, black part above is shadow, the 2 pixels are the eyes.

This game seems like a mix of Loop Hero and Megaloot (although I'm not sure if this game came about before Megaloot or not). Also this game is very derivative and what you explain is something being derivative and that's not a bad thing (just about everything is a derivative of something else). I think you meant to say not just being a clone.
