I badly want Iconoclasts to return to a GDQ event. I know it probably won't though, which is a shame. One of my favorite games ever. The art/design/character models/animation are breathtaking, some of the best in all of gaming. It actually has my favorite bosses in any game ever and the writing is FANTASTIC. I really wish it had blown up and become massively popular because my god is it an incredible game. I'd absolutely kill for a sequel.
I really love Iconoclasts. It’s a bit unfortunate that GDQ did an Any% run because it skips so much of a great game! Not the runner’s fault - this was a great run.
Finally got around to watching this, wanted to get the game and enjoy it casually first. Awesome run, it would be ridiculous how broken this game was if that apparently weren't an unofficial requirement for all metroidvania games. Excellent work on the commentary too, nice balance between loads of information and casual banter.
LivingEidolon Play it! I just happened to beat it today, and it has an amazing story (though it's a bit tough to keep up with) with tight controls. Definitely worth it.
Solution: Go beat the game and then watch the run later. I just finished it tonight, so this was a nice post-game "reward" to look forward to. Did not disappoint, if anything knowing exactly how badly this was broken just made it so much better.
@Vazazell They either telegraph attacks or just attack in cycles. I found the difficulty to be normal. Maybe slightly easy but not too much. And yeah, it's quite heavy, I didn't expect that from colorful platformer with stun gun instead if real gun and whacky initial premise.
All the plants are weird square plants made of ivory that don't have real seeds. But pirate girl has some real seeds, and ivory makes real seeds grow super big super fast. So if you stick a bunch of seeds into a guy with ivory blood, he turns into a tree.
To be fair this wasn't really a lore exhibition, the game is like 75% narrative so it was nice how much they actually were able to explain in between all the glitches and skips. Some details were always going to be omitted.
15:45 Be careful! That helicopter is armed!

They use that glitch to airswim on the screen,you don't have to(and better not do this!!!!!!)
Runner introduction starts at 00:04. Run starts at 00:49. Couch Commentators are shedd, CavemanDCJ, and Munchakoopa.
Thank you for putting the runner intros so close to the start of the video.

Did not know this existed; probably going to buy it now.
Tolo means fool, if you were wondering.
In portuguese yes,i'm brazilian,but in english i don't think so...
I might actually be in love with the art design for the thing that shows your party.
I really want to play this game, so I don't wanna watch, but I really want to watch!

I got this game launch day and didn't even touch on 95% of this tech except slope boosts and the gun double jump. Geez, this game is optimized.
mean, the enemy kill double jump and the air swim are very much not-intended, and the Charge shot Run speed boost is either an exploit or a bug...
Pretty good run! Really cool tricks and commentary. Hyped for the rest of the event
THIS WAS DOPE!!! Just finished this game not to long ago and man, the foolery goin on!!
Super fun run! Risky is a great runner.
I just bought this game and completed it in one sitting. Damm... this Game is Brutal... (Not the difficulty)
You know one sitting does not say how much time i spend XD
It was 12 Hours btw. And no i didnt use anything.
12 hours is not a long game. The game itself is mechanically easy when playing casually, but the story is deep and heart-wrenching.

Only part of the game I didn't like was the pointless Stealth Mission against Ash.
Hell, Mina thought it was pointless too.
Yay Risky! I'm so glad he made it!
Love this fucking game! Had a blast playing it, should be fun to see a speedrun.
4:53 I WAITED UNTIL I GOT THE THIRD STUN GUN UPGRADE TO GET THIS CHEST AND YOU CAN DO THIS? DANG IT
Killer run of a great game.
Awesome play, awesome commentary. Love it! I have so little time to spend on games these days but i have to get back to this one.
I've never met a fan of this game who didn't know a shitton about the story, too. Love it.
a good game, and a great run
MY FAVOURITE FUCKING GAME
This man a super villain mustache, that mean's he's automatically in my top 5 favorite people ever.
I bought this game about three days ago, and I never knew about the gun jump.
this game looks slick doe!
The ISI are the good guys? I think the point by the end is everyone is responsible for fucking the planet up xD
13:13 That God of War glitch
wow youre right :)
*EXPLAIN THE SEEDS PLEASE*
All the plants are weird square plants made of ivory that don't have real seeds. But pirate girl has some real seeds, and ivory makes real seeds grow super big super fast. So if you stick a bunch of seeds into a guy with ivory blood, he turns into a tree.
Android 19 I meant the couch guys needed to explain the seeds to the audience, because it makes zero sense if you don't know what they do.
To be fair this wasn't really a lore exhibition, the game is like 75% narrative so it was nice how much they actually were able to explain in between all the glitches and skips. Some details were always going to be omitted.
It's a shame this kinda spoils the massive twist ending of the game while completely omitting about 99% of the game itself.
Well... Speedruns and spoilers do kinda go hand in hand. If you don't want game spoilers, you shouldn't watch a speedrun, obviously :)
Woop woop
33:20 Doctor Gustavo, i don´t feel very well...
