the thing why the animation and art looks and feels so good is because the developers were prior to this game an animation studio with years of experience. all of their stuff are up on youtube on their channel thunderhumor.
The sprinting and jumping, as small as they are, really improve something in a genre I didn't realize I needed until you showed it off. Gonna try this game out and only use the snake sword in honor of you.
Another banger video. I remember playing this game and checking the Steam page and it had about 26 reviews and thinking 'man this is gonna be a classic one day'. Still doesn't get the respect it deserves imo!
It still kind of shocks me by the very little amount of coverage on YT alone. I searched multiple phrases with "Voidigo" in it and I was just like "Why the hell didn't more people talk about this game?"
@@sl1ppey Because they didn't market the game properly to be honest. Maybe they are hoping on word of mouth or that it will pick up in sales eventually, but that's not really how you do it
i've never really been into roguelites before, only having watched people play through binding of isaac and gaining a basic understanding of the game and genre, but this game looks genuinely incredible, to the point where I'll heavily consider playing it. thanks for taking the time to go through so many aspects of the game. also 0:14 hit like a freight train, what a GREAT start to the video LMAO
Love these vids bc i never would have been exposed to this game otherwise. What a cool, well-done, and creative idea for the genre. also, the banana va deserves every award
Stumbled into your channel after your last rougelike video was recommended to me, and I really enjoy the style and humor in your videos! Also, a (Kinda?) rougelike that I'd recommend is Get To The Orange Door, or GTTOD. It's an incredible FPS movement shooter that I've put over 100 hours in throughout a few of its major overhaul updates, but now the game has settled into a loop and feel
My second run of this game was my first victory; i ran out of ammunition towards the end and ended up beating the enemy with buttons. I’d put it up there with my favorite experiences i’ve ever had in a video game. The music combined with the visuals made the entire thing unforgettable. The developers recently made a video talking about how much difficulty they had making and funding the game, and it breaks my heart.
I just found this game and after searching for years to find a game that scratched that same Isaac or Gungeon itch, I was SO happy to have found this incredibly polished and unique game that puts its own fresh twist on the genre.
I remember voting on tiktok to add new weapons. Just now, watching your video, I realized that it's been a while since I last saw another video from them
UA-cam recommended me your video about that axolotl game and then I fell in love with your channel! Your videos are well made and thought out and I enjoy watching them. I hope your channel will blow up someday, keep up the good work!
Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeee review on voidigo, glad more people gonna try it! I was presented to it by devs mutual friend, and followed the game around for a long while now
This game has beautiful animations, but I feel like the map color in some parts could be turned down so you can see what you are doing easier. Maybe that along with giving enemies an outline or more contrasting colors to the floor. I bet if I actually played the game the visual problems wouldn’t be noticeable after a while, not to mention how good the gameplay looks.
It’s definitely something that you get used to after a bit. There are a few instances where I thought “wtf just hit me” but it doesn’t happen that often. Some more hectic fights like the Void Puppeteer are also balanced by individual attacks from the boss dealing less damage to account for how many attacks get thrown at you. I second enemy outlines being an option, I think that’d do nicely to contrast them from the environment.
Played the game a while ago, after your Ak-xolotl video actually, I liked it a lot and I was also surprised how little recognition it got. Also I'm so glad you put the final boss theme it's own bit in the video it goes sooooo hard, Alan Gloob's theme does too.
Also you should try Risk of Rain 2 if you haven't already, and/or Risk of Rain Returns that is coming out on November 8th! Both are amazing games and I personally think of RoR2 as my all-time favorite rogue-lite, if not a game in general.
And the new items and changes are cool, glad the game is still being worked on, and not just 'release and forget' not that as the game stands is lacking anything.
As an aspiring indie developer this game is really inspiring to me. Voidigo is insanely stylized and they have like 400+ devstreams of them making it which is nice to study their process. I hope I can make something with as much love and effort that Semiwork put into this game.
I discovered this game a few days ago while I was searching for a good roguelike I hadn’t seen everywhere and that is also really fun. And man, even after playing the game for about 10 hours or so, I still find it incredibly enjoyable. The animations are fantastic, the control you have on your movement is so satisfying, and the gameplay itself is impeccable. It’s been a while I haven’t seen a really fast paced focused roguelike this good, and I would totally recommend people to check it out. Give it a shot, if you don’t like it then you can just get a refund.
Been following the guys on tiktok since long cuz they actually listen to the playerbase, so far that they implemented some weapons based on what they asked for (they picked a few random comments and made it an item in-game, so rad)
Not sure if you read these or not but Battle Shapers just dropped into Early Access and after playing it for a few days I think it has a lot of potential! Might be worth keeping tabs on. Quality FPS Roguelites are hard to come by imo
My dude I read almost every comment (although I had to skimp on the AK-xolotl one because that was a lot lol). I still need to play Gunfire Reborn, but other than that yeah, FPS’ are still pretty unexplored as far are rogues go, gonna check it out. Thanks!
Let's hope it's just a slow sales start and then it picks up steam later on. This is my current roguelite grind game and I'm really appreciating how quick a run can be.
One look at the protagonist, and I first thought, "Kokopelli? That one guy playing a horn plastered all over the freeways of Arizona?" Seriously, that's a real piece of folklore. ...well, it's either that, or the Pokemon Xatu.
it’s great to hear more positive feedback about this game! i played it early on, either in early access or right when it released, and it was unfortunately a bit buggy and deterred me from playing it. i’ll have to come back to it soon!
I've seen this game pop up on steam a few times but haven't really looked at it until this video, makes me think of dead cells a bit where at first the gameplay and even the graphics are really overwhelming until you figure out what's going on. Looks fun! On the topic of rogues with cool item mechanics, I like Blazing Beaks. It's also a top down shooter but it makes you collect bad items and hold onto them until you reach a shop, where you can trade them in for good items
omg this game looks so fun ! I'm the bigest ETG fan and I've been looking a new game like this since gungeon is way too easy now Btw Thanks really great video as always :)
I checked this out the other day randomly and saw it had a Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. Not that many games on Steam get that type of rating now I see why
I almost beat what seemed like the last boss (multiple bosses attacking me) on my very first run. Only played for another 3-4 hours because it just wasn't as fun after that, and surprisingly it felt like I had already seen everything the game had to offer. Fun while it lasted though.
Understandable feeling. I sort of got that feeling after my first run too, but after doing a few more runs it really gripped it's claws in me personally. Shame it didn't do the same for you, but at least you enjoyed yourself for the time you did spend with it.
as speaking from someone who has palyed the game since like it released. other options that you enjoyed weren't always there. the final boss used to just be one phase. there was no fast travel system. looping is a pretty new addition *though i'm not entirely sure. and the always zoomed out option didn't exist. Not deal breakers obviously but there were rough bits. especially if you fought a boss that was a runner the back and forth was a pace breaker. also while being a really nice change of pace for fans of the genre i'd also imagine the game is very weird at a glance lacking a lot of visual staples i think roguelites are know for.. these are just my too cents though. I know i fell in love in with the game just for having difficulity options.
So what you're telling me is that the jump mechanic is the dopamine feature that will end my runs repeatedly because it's just too enjoyable to not do, got it.
I have yet to play; but my personal opinion on why the game didn’t make a bigger splash is its theme. Themes are essential for a game to be more “universal” while also being “unique”. BoI is unique on how toilety/blasphemous it is, while being consistent and universal with its religious themes. Nuclear Throne is a bit weird; but in the end it’s a clear post-apocalyptic story (and to be fair Nuclear Throne, although being my personal fav, represent just a fraction of the success of the other classics). Enter the Gungeon is a classic “fantasy dungeon” with a fun clear twist in parodying everything that spells “guns”. Dead Cells is your super vanilla fantasy epic adventure. Voidigo looks super interesting; but in the end is a super weird mish mash of cartoony stuff. This seems to be pretty much on purpose; but still, it lacks a cohesive theme that makes it more universal and easily recognizable and “shareable”. Not saying it is a bad theme! It looks super charming because of it. But still, it feels you need more cohesive and universal stuff. That and the fact it is rather new. As incredible as it is; there’s no doubt BoI is the classic it is because it released in a time without almost competition. Enter the Gungeon released at a time where you already had some roguelites; but the competition was low. 2023? Roguelites are still beloved; but surely not the hot thing anymore. And there’s like thousands of them. So now the bar is super high: you gotta either bring something super unique (more mechanically than aesthetically); or/and incredibly polished in terms of everything. Last roguelite big hits have been stuff like Hades, which has remarkable high production for an indie; the gameplay is admittedly quite smooth; and it has a super universal beloved theme (Greek Mythology). Or Vampire Survivors if it can be considered a roguelite? In which case it shook things a bit with a different style of gameplay. Again, just to be clear: the game looks appealing and cool to me; but I am just reflecting why it didn’t hit harder on a general level.
I dont know if its too late already. But i discovered a game call "godlike burger" free on epic for like 7 hours while writing this. Tbh i dont know what you think, even tho it had me laughing a lot and play it a lot. But it is super difficult
I want to buy Voidigo but I don’t know if it’s coming to Switch or not. If there’s no switch port coming out any time soon then I’ll buy it on PC but if there’s a switch port in development I’ll wait
i personally played voidigo skipping the entire tutorial bc i have a big ass ego and man that was the best decision of my life i literally had no idea you could combo stomp and bosses roam around the map dawg when i found all of that out i was either screaming bc the boss went into the same room as me or i was amazed asf ALSO (spoilers i guess) the first phase where the boss chases you is the most fun shit of my life gud game :)
I've always despised roll mechanics in any game to the point where I used any dodge or roll skill given to me as purely a travel option, I always called it a "Bad players dislocation tool" because even if the top players always use it and it's "A noob mistake to not abuse it", to me it was just badly implemented no matter what and never felt good, even in Isaac when ever I got that charge double tap item I'll never actually use it as anything more than just a sprint button. Seeing a game take the dodge mechanic and give me the freedom to actually move where I want if I decide I dodged the wrong way is so... refreshing... it's such a small insignificant change that gives me so much freedom and control over my character that I never feel like I can possibly blame it for messing me over, and it made me actually enjoy messing up a dodge because I knew that if I got hit, it was ACTUALLY me being bad or mistiming it. In warframe it's kinda the same story, the second I learned about dodging I didn't even use it for fighting, I straight up just incorporated it into my movement pattern and completely forgot it had I-frames from how bad I viewed it, but you know what I always used to dodge? Bullet jump... The I-frame-less movement served me so much more over my time playing solely because I could instantly redirect myself and change my position. To make a long rant short, Dodging should feel like it's in the players hands, like it actually IS the players choice where they end up rather than just the direction they go to, going in a straight line is going in a straight line, doesn't matter if it has 4 ways, 8 ways or 360 ways, a player should always be able to choose their end point for it to feel good in both outcomes.
Super well said. Not being locked into a certain direction on dodge is such a small but significant difference in feeling like you have more control over your movement.
I hate to be the suggestion guy but I genuinely think you should check out atomicrops if you haven't already, it's criminally underrated and deserves a lot of love being one of the most unique rouges I've ever seen.
The gameplay sounds so cool but the game is so hard to look at ... There's so much incomprehensible moving, jittering visual clutter in incredibly saturated colors
@@sl1ppey aw that sucks, you don't see roguelikes like this one very often, especially since it's sort of a dead genre, last roguelike i really enjoyed was enter the gungeon and i doubt anything will top that for me in a long time, but who knows maybe they will release Voidigo on console at some point, also good video, really enjoyed it! :))
some days I really feel like that banana though.
Blink twice if you need help. I got the 1man army arsenal ready
It's OK sl1ppey everyone also feels like that banana sometimes , but you should seriously get help
@@billcipher4368 I am thank you
Nuclear throne, but with a new formula
Watched the video to the end, great stuff.
the thing why the animation and art looks and feels so good is because the developers were prior to this game an animation studio with years of experience. all of their stuff are up on youtube on their channel thunderhumor.
That’s actually a cool fun fact and makes a lot of sense.
Real ones watched the swedish version "Dunderhumor"
Är spelet gjort av dunderhumor gänget?
@@lukaskachow ja, dem har också en ny youtube kanal som heter semiwork

luv u daniel
this game is bursting with an extremely high level of craftsmanship - animation, design, sound, and mechanics. so fkn good.
A hidden gem much slept-on. Happy to see you cover it!
Love these vids bc i never would have been exposed to this game otherwise. What a cool, well-done, and creative idea for the genre.

Great work mate, keep it up! rooting for you.
My second run of this game was my first victory; i ran out of ammunition towards the end and ended up beating the enemy with buttons. I’d put it up there with my favorite experiences i’ve ever had in a video game. The music combined with the visuals made the entire thing unforgettable.

I’m not a huge fan of rogue likes but your review makes me want to try this one out! Thanks!
Great mechanics and artstyle aside what convinced me that I'm gonna have to check this game out was the snake. Great video dude keep it up!
Never knew this game existed, im getting it right now
Hell yeah dude, hope you like it.
I’m just waiting for the day Voidigo takes over. Another great video!
Sure missed the release of this video, ah. Thank You for taking everyone's recommendation and putting the spotlight on Voidigo.
Pleasure was all mine. This game honestly deserves it
I just found this game and after searching for years to find a game that scratched that same Isaac or Gungeon itch, I was SO happy to have found this incredibly polished and unique game that puts its own fresh twist on the genre.
I LOVE Voidigo. I played it for like 2 weeks straight when I first got it. Super fun game. Also the music is amazing.
I remember voting on tiktok to add new weapons. Just now, watching your video, I realized that it's been a while since I last saw another video from them
I whole heartedly agree on this game being hella underrated, its so good
So Voidigo and Axolotl would theoratically make up for each other's weaknesses if they somehow combined...
UA-cam recommended me your video about that axolotl game and then I fell in love with your channel! Your videos are well made and thought out and I enjoy watching them. I hope your channel will blow up someday, keep up the good work!
That means a lot. Thank you so much for the kind words :)
me too
Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeee review on voidigo, glad more people gonna try it!
I was presented to it by devs mutual friend, and followed the game around for a long while now
The moment the banana did that, I knew what you were gonna say 💀
love your voice for these kinds of videos, so relaxing
aww, thanks marco

I second enemy outlines being an option, I think that’d do nicely to contrast them from the environment.
The art on the steam page is giving me big Chipper and Sons vibes and it’s both spectacular, and creeping me out, but the gameplay looks STUNNING

Love RoR2. RoR Returns sounds cool as I never played the OG. Thanks for the heads up!
I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN HOLY SH*T LETS GO
I'm a simple man, I see sl1ppey uploads, I watch video
I love this game so much its so addicting
+1 for Voidigo. PHENOMENAL game that *nailed* it's time spent in Early Access
And the new items and changes are cool, glad the game is still being worked on, and not just 'release and forget' not that as the game stands is lacking anything.
Wow how did I look over this game! This is so amazing
Boutta buy the game just for the snek smooch
As an aspiring indie developer this game is really inspiring to me. Voidigo is insanely stylized and they have like 400+ devstreams of them making it which is nice to study their process. I hope I can make something with as much love and effort that Semiwork put into this game.
Great video. With Enter The Gungeon being one of my all time favorites I might have to give this game a fair shot and really check it out.
What an awesome video!! Voidigo is also awesome and I’m glad you thought so too
Thank you!!
You could have said "monster hunter meets enter the gungeon" and i would have bought this game in a heart beat.
I discovered this game a few days ago while I was searching for a good roguelike I hadn’t seen everywhere and that is also really fun. And man, even after playing the game for about 10 hours or so, I still find it incredibly enjoyable.

this title wasnt even on my radar until now! *wishlists*
The art style is the reason i havenæt picked this up tbh, but might grow on me.
Been following the guys on tiktok since long cuz they actually listen to the playerbase, so far that they implemented some weapons based on what they asked for (they picked a few random comments and made it an item in-game, so rad)
So glad people are finally noticing this game
Also i want to add that the creators do weapons + power ups with the fan base feedback and u can comment to have a chance to get "your weapon im game"
The boss running away or the player being able to run away to restock is straight out of monster hunter, and I love that
I should have paused the video 1 second later
LOL
I just heard your enthusiasm in the first 15 sec and decided to try it out; damn its a good game; i wish it got the attention that quez a kotl got
Not sure if you read these or not but Battle Shapers just dropped into Early Access and after playing it for a few days I think it has a lot of potential! Might be worth keeping tabs on. Quality FPS Roguelites are hard to come by imo
My dude I read almost every comment (although I had to skimp on the AK-xolotl one because that was a lot lol).
I still need to play Gunfire Reborn, but other than that yeah, FPS’ are still pretty unexplored as far are rogues go, gonna check it out. Thanks!
That end made me question my life
They wholeass made a banana version of that “toothpaste shitting” meme
It wouldn’t shock me if that was the inspiration
love your work! great watch :)
Let's hope it's just a slow sales start and then it picks up steam later on. This is my current roguelite grind game and I'm really appreciating how quick a run can be.
One look at the protagonist, and I first thought, "Kokopelli? That one guy playing a horn plastered all over the freeways of Arizona?" Seriously, that's a real piece of folklore.
...well, it's either that, or the Pokemon Xatu.
voidigo is definitely in my top 3 action roguelikes, with nuclear throne and dead cells
This reminds me of that one Newgrounds game called something like Coco vs Ant or something, where the mechanics are really similar.
Star of Providence is another roguelite I can't recommend enough if you feel like looking into it.
i second this
This game looks sick. Wishlisted!
As a person recommended this game to you in AKxolotl video comments i'm happy u liked the game
it’s great to hear more positive feedback about this game! i played it early on, either in early access or right when it released, and it was unfortunately a bit buggy and deterred me from playing it. i’ll have to come back to it soon!
It’s a solid game! Hope it treats you better a second go around.
Love Nuclear Throne and the level design looks like it was inspired by it, might check it out
commenting because this game really needs more attention and feeding the algorithm might help that
I've seen this game pop up on steam a few times but haven't really looked at it until this video, makes me think of dead cells a bit where at first the gameplay and even the graphics are really overwhelming until you figure out what's going on. Looks fun! On the topic of rogues with cool item mechanics, I like Blazing Beaks. It's also a top down shooter but it makes you collect bad items and hold onto them until you reach a shop, where you can trade them in for good items
omg this game looks so fun ! I'm the bigest ETG fan and I've been looking a new game like this since gungeon is way too easy now
Btw Thanks really great video as always :)
the fact that you need to hunt down the boss is reminding me of monster hunter and is probably my favorite part of the game.
It’s an admittedly small feature that makes for some interesting encounters. I love it too.
while searching for this game on steam I found out there are 4 different games just called void
Let me save this video to my Game Dev Guide Playlist please.
Of course!
I checked this out the other day randomly and saw it had a Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. Not that many games on Steam get that type of rating now I see why

Have you heard of Astrea: six sided oracles? came out recently and it's cool
I haven’t but I’ll look into it!

Love this game!
Sadly there aren't any youtubers who uploaded series of this game
Hey have you tried Revita? It's a unique roguelike that I loved but almost no one played, so if you didn't I highly recommend it.
It looks cool! Wishlisted!

there was no fast travel system.
looping is a pretty new addition *though i'm not entirely sure.
and the always zoomed out option didn't exist.
Not deal breakers obviously but there were rough bits. especially if you fought a boss that was a runner the back and forth was a pace breaker.
also while being a really nice change of pace for fans of the genre i'd also imagine the game is very weird at a glance lacking a lot of visual staples i think roguelites are know for..
these are just my too cents though. I know i fell in love in with the game just for having difficulity options.
Appreciate the info, adds a lot of context to my experience vs. the day 1/EA experience.
I'm playing this just for the banana
Great video
Thanks a bunch!
Brb gotta go re-watch the Pink Eye episode of Kids Next Door now. Also, Kids Next Door Roguelike when?
you should try ember knights
Game is mad underrated, wish it got the love it deserved!
So what you're telling me is that the jump mechanic is the dopamine feature that will end my runs repeatedly because it's just too enjoyable to not do, got it.
Yes.
I need this game on switch SO bad
I agree muchly. This’d be perfect on Switch.
I have yet to play; but my personal opinion on why the game didn’t make a bigger splash is its theme.
Themes are essential for a game to be more “universal” while also being “unique”.
BoI is unique on how toilety/blasphemous it is, while being consistent and universal with its religious themes.
Nuclear Throne is a bit weird; but in the end it’s a clear post-apocalyptic story (and to be fair Nuclear Throne, although being my personal fav, represent just a fraction of the success of the other classics).
Enter the Gungeon is a classic “fantasy dungeon” with a fun clear twist in parodying everything that spells “guns”.
Dead Cells is your super vanilla fantasy epic adventure.
Voidigo looks super interesting; but in the end is a super weird mish mash of cartoony stuff. This seems to be pretty much on purpose; but still, it lacks a cohesive theme that makes it more universal and easily recognizable and “shareable”.
Not saying it is a bad theme! It looks super charming because of it. But still, it feels you need more cohesive and universal stuff.
That and the fact it is rather new. As incredible as it is; there’s no doubt BoI is the classic it is because it released in a time without almost competition. Enter the Gungeon released at a time where you already had some roguelites; but the competition was low.

Or Vampire Survivors if it can be considered a roguelite? In which case it shook things a bit with a different style of gameplay.
Again, just to be clear: the game looks appealing and cool to me; but I am just reflecting why it didn’t hit harder on a general level.
That’s a really well thought out take, especially the point of the amount of competition there is in the genre now. Great comment.
i wanna play this shit now
Oh I love this game, one of my favorites alongside Risk of Rain 2, Revita (you should check this out), and Isaac.
This is so cool
Hey just mentioning you coule try spell disk or dungreed they seem like a great choice to your prefered style of roguelikes

Thinking about it now I am SO SURPRISED that Gungeon doesn't have a gumball gun like is it because it's too easy of a joke or?????
I think I'll give it a try o _0
Yes I love voidigo

Seeing a game take the dodge mechanic and give me the freedom to actually move where I want if I decide I dodged the wrong way is so... refreshing... it's such a small insignificant change that gives me so much freedom and control over my character that I never feel like I can possibly blame it for messing me over, and it made me actually enjoy messing up a dodge because I knew that if I got hit, it was ACTUALLY me being bad or mistiming it.
In warframe it's kinda the same story, the second I learned about dodging I didn't even use it for fighting, I straight up just incorporated it into my movement pattern and completely forgot it had I-frames from how bad I viewed it, but you know what I always used to dodge? Bullet jump... The I-frame-less movement served me so much more over my time playing solely because I could instantly redirect myself and change my position.
To make a long rant short, Dodging should feel like it's in the players hands, like it actually IS the players choice where they end up rather than just the direction they go to, going in a straight line is going in a straight line, doesn't matter if it has 4 ways, 8 ways or 360 ways, a player should always be able to choose their end point for it to feel good in both outcomes.
Super well said. Not being locked into a certain direction on dodge is such a small but significant difference in feeling like you have more control over your movement.
I hate to be the suggestion guy but I genuinely think you should check out atomicrops if you haven't already, it's criminally underrated and deserves a lot of love being one of the most unique rouges I've ever seen.
It was on a deep sale recently so I bought it! Will definitely get around to it.
The gameplay sounds so cool but the game is so hard to look at ... There's so much incomprehensible moving, jittering visual clutter in incredibly saturated colors
It definitely takes some getting used to. Turning down screen shake and particle limit definitely helped.
Did you play patchquest?
Funny you mention it that was probably gonna be my next video if I find the time for it
will it ever be released on console?
No known plans for a console port at the moment :(
@@sl1ppey aw that sucks, you don't see roguelikes like this one very often, especially since it's sort of a dead genre, last roguelike i really enjoyed was enter the gungeon and i doubt anything will top that for me in a long time, but who knows maybe they will release Voidigo on console at some point, also good video, really enjoyed it! :))
I just wish Voidigo was available on a console cause currently I cant play on pc cause my laptop sucks
