I actually bought this and its the time sink ive been wanting for a while. Nothing has been interesting to me for a while and im dead inside. Probably my game of the year so far, quick to install and play on literally anything and its less than £4. Thanks Asmon for showcasing this game.
There’s just a lot of shit out there. Really games that are good these days are Nintendo titles like Zelda and Mario, a select few story driven games like ff16 and gow, 1-2 good MMOs in gw2 and ff14, maybe two good arpgs in this game and poe, fps genre has no good games, and lol will continue to dominate the moba scene. Ig we should just be grateful that there’s still 1-2 good games per genre.
@@Nead_Dill_Dickersons_jryeah its hard when theres so much garbage out there, but its not much different from back in the day when there would only be like 7 games released all year and maybe 2 were good lmao
You'll find the hardest part of the game is waiting for more content. I have 60+ hours in and almost all the achievements and still can't stop playing.
@@Raysunghwa I've played Halls of Torment and its Prelude for a combined total of 51 hours, D4 after release for 444 and the betas for ~100. Still some work to do to get to the same € per hour value I guess. 🤣
Please follow these basic tips, will make all future runs easier: 1. Try to break boxes they have gold, buffs, magnet hands, you get way faster progression. 2. Always deliver 1 item to the well each run, try to gather the spots you are missing. 3. Refund points in camp,try builds, there is no downside.each. Every character works best with max damage and attack speed, for starters max those. 4. Check quests before each run and plan your run, you get a lot of gold 5. Enjoy the game man, its really fun!
I've been enjoying scars of toil builds. Building the swordsman to be super tanky (especially in health and regen) and taking damage intentionally has been a blast. I haven't seen all the items in the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if this item gets a nerf at some point.
@@IWubYooz there are many strategies its true. One of my favorites is as you mentioned, tanky, full defense, lots of HP plus the medallion that gives more dmg the lower hp you have. This works great cause, its percentage of hp, so if you have a ton of HP you will get so much more dmg. This medallion is amazing but cant work well to low hp characters
I bought the game too. I stayed up until midnight playing even though I wake up at 4:30am for work. Love finding games that are so fun I can be a degen like when I was in high school.
This game goes back to the roots of gameplay vs. AAA graphics. And obviously gameplay wins out every time. That's why I find myself going back to old pre 2000s games like Mech Commander.
What I love with these old games is that balance were not a thing. There were loads of OP builds and that was FUN. Sure balance is needed for multiplayer games, but for singleplayer or co-op games, let us become the gods we were meant to be!
Fr tho. Its like why are they "balancing" D4. Has anyone told them its more or less a single player/ coop game yet? I hate how they try so hard to cater to 'pro' and 'competitive' audiences in literally everything. Just let me have fun ffs and have the pvp be its own game mode with its own balance changes and restrictions.
@@stevenwynn646 Because of Seasons/Ladder and it’s Leaderboards, even Diablo 2 tried to balance things for the leaderboards. The leaderboards are/were everything.
@@XochiCh Yeah, but that still doesn't make sense. If everyone is broken, then the leaderboards are fair and balanced because of equality. Right now they are trying to 'balance' everything in an awful way where they end up straight up disabling some classes. To me this is not a fair or balanced experience for a ladder climb.
This is the result of devs who understand videogames. It's fun game design 101, it's cohesive, elegant. I'll keep saying, the future of videogames is indie games. Some triple A and most live service games are just there to milk your money, meanwhile if you're an actual game enjoyer you should explore the world of indie or double A, they keep getting better at making fun games, challenging games, and innovative games, it's just insane how much games I'm yet to play.
Bought this after watching Asmon play for 3 minutes yesterday. Better than Vampire Survivors imo not saying the latter is bad, its great, i just like this game a bit better). Also I've been watching so many react vids by Asmongold that i forgot he actually plays games 🤣🤣
@@SpookyBlackuyeah, I miss some more different power ups like more exp, and more alternative weapons. Imagine chain lightning with the archer for example. Hoping that with the new I flux of buyers the devs can add a ton of stuff, like the devs from dead state who never stop adding content
*_This is the best movie I have seen all week; and I have been several times to the movies this week and have watched new movies every day this week._*
His face when he fought the boss for the first time. True gamer. Don't get discouraged bro, there is a laundry list of meta-progression that helps you push. Happy hunting~
Literally bought the game after watching yesterday's video. I kept saying "I wouldn't have made that choice" thinking that I would be better than a literal professional video game player. Turns out I was wrong, who would've thought. Great game though, 4 bucks is a steal in my opinion.
Yea found that one too. I personally like that one better. I just find graphics like this game and vampire survivor are too blurry or too pixelated for my eyes. (Have really bad eyesight.) I really enjoy watching asmongold play this tho.
Watching this got me looking up vampire survivor like games and I found a few cool ones, and theyre all less than 10 bucks so thats always nice. soulstone survivors has been fun.
So first we get a Castlevania rogue like for $3 and now a Diablo 1 rogue like for $4. This creator is doing more things right in a few years than Blizzard has done in a decade. Someone make this man a statue.
1 - You have to switch to auto attack in the options. It's much faster to kill and switch targets without wasting time aiming. The nearest target is targeted first. 2 - Run straight to the first scroll. Only kill the enemies in front of you on your way. 3 - Always choose in order, if possible, attack speed, damage, critical chance, critical +20%, attack distance, attack cone, enemy piercing. Do not take more than 2 magics and master them. 4 - Kill the first boss and return to the pit as quickly as possible without wasting time. When your life is threatened, save your new items. 5 - Stay there and kill as many monsters as possible for the duration of the enemy wave. Pick up XP between 2 waves around you.
For anyone who sees this and likes Halls of Torment, there's another game much in the same vein done by a solo developer called Spellbook Demonslayers. Very fun game, just started getting more updates recently, I definitely recommend it. The graphics are different than this old school and the music unfortunately gets old quickly but it's a solid game with the same mobbing, tons of abilities, more starting characters, and tons of upgrades and difficulty modifiers.
Welp, I'm convinced. 10 seconds into the video and I already bought the game. Huge fan of Vampire Survivors and this genre of games recently, looking forward to playing this one!
I saw you playing this and picked it up.. managed to actually survive the entire first realm using the cleric. His base attack is a wave that splits damage amongst howmany are caught in it. So when you're down to bosses you Decimate them. Holy aura and Dragon's Breath just keep everyone away. Loving this game thanks for showing it!
Bought this for me and two friends as soon as this popped up in my recommended. Loved Vampire Survivors, so a Diablo wrapping over that sorta game is fucking bliss.
I played this and Death Must Die (great game) and hands down the best Diablo experience ever. instant reward for doing the same thing over and over. Blizzard should take notes.
I've seen you doing the first vid on this one, immediately knew I'm in for good shits and giggles for next couple videos and bought the game. Love your gameplays
Would like to see Asmon play Tiny Rogues. Very charming rogue like game that looks 8bit nes game. Has fun gameplay loop and great music. edit: Also its like 5 bucks or something.
Asmon there are 2 little challenges if you follow the blood that takes half of the last bosses life away if you do them both just follow the blood trail
I really hope all these sudden sales helps the developer, he made one hell of a game
One "Hall" of a Game
@@iangrabowski2298 BADUM TSK!
wonder how much the asmon sponsorship cost
Yeah the devs are super happy and the game peaked at a all time high playerwise because of asmongold
@@digital-nomad Couple of thousand I guess, which has crazy roi value.
Asmon: "I really need to get more health"
Also Asmon: *picks non health options right after saying that, every time*
Damage is better because it's damage, obviously
Picking health also pointless when he picks zero health regen options.
@@aiyrenthis was driving me mad, especially the first time he played the game lmao. He kept picking health when he was 120/750 Hp.
i think movement is most important xD
Drinking game: Take a drink every time Asmon gets excited about large genitals.
We will die mate 😂
BRO LMAO
After 30 minutes i am drunk af
I don't feel so good Peter Parker
I mean his custom PC company logo does look phallic 😂

@@nickmetoyer3015thanks for the recommendation, looks promising!
@@nickmetoyer3015 I found a very nice game thanks to you .
Ok I'll put that one on my list too. Not now, at the moment vampire survivors and now HoT are taking all my free time, that's EXACTLY my type of game
I love how if you like video games, stay up late, and complain about your job it makes you a degenerate.
This game goes back to the roots of gameplay vs. AAA graphics. And obviously gameplay wins out every time. That's why I find myself going back to old pre 2000s games like Mech Commander.
Unreal tournament 2004 and age of empires 2 for me
Duuuude Mech Commander was amazing! The atmosphere of the game was so great. I still replay the campaign occasionally!
UT is 🔥 🔥 🔥
mech commander brings back good memories.
Been playing Baldurs Gate. I feel this.
holy shit a game my computer might be able to run
Yeah ..... you have fun tho
might :))) :D 👍
This is no joke great content. Serious tension since you never know what Asmon is going to pick. Better than most movies that have come out recently.
one thing you can always expect is everything but health options
Not better than latest bangbus video
What I love with these old games is that balance were not a thing. There were loads of OP builds and that was FUN. Sure balance is needed for multiplayer games, but for singleplayer or co-op games, let us become the gods we were meant to be!

One of the most entertaining content I've seen in like past 3 months overall ! Great job
This game is awesome. I can't wait for more stages to come out. Shout out to Asmongold for bringing this gem to his audience.
This came out in the 90s my guy. Pretty sure there isnt any expansions at this point smh
The final hero to unlock should be the mathematician. He automatically selects the best power-ups.
Most fun I've had playing this style of game in a while. Glad you picked this one up.
I bought this game last night after watching Asmon play.
I felt like a kid again playing till 4am😂😂😂.
Haven’t done this since FF7 came out.
THE FF7 or the Kingdom Hearts Nomura reskin?

yeah this game is awesome, but doesn't have nearly as much content as vampire survivors. you can complete everything in this game in like ten hours
@@SpookyBlacku Not bad tbh
Plus I like the overall visual design and feedback better
@@SpookyBlackuyeah, I miss some more different power ups like more exp, and more alternative weapons. Imagine chain lightning with the archer for example. Hoping that with the new I flux of buyers the devs can add a ton of stuff, like the devs from dead state who never stop adding content
Thanks for playing, watched your stream earlier and was really great to see your success after the previous defeat 💖
Looks like Vamp Survivors meets original Diablo.
these vampire survivor type games are my favorite content to chill/relax and watch hands down
The game is so good! So satisfying. It’s like the old gauntlet games but darker
*_This is the best movie I have seen all week; and I have been several times to the movies this week and have watched new movies every day this week._*
asmongold: don't get excited
asmongold actually less than 5 seconds later: i think we won

@@zzkevinlim Vampire Survivors, the game that basically kickstarted this whole genre, kinda took the world by storm last year.

5 - Stay there and kill as many monsters as possible for the duration of the enemy wave. Pick up XP between 2 waves around you.

Haven’t stopped playing this since yesterdays post. Thanks for the game bro
1:21:24 that's the most hilarious facepalm i've seen in the last 10 years XD
Add this to your Steam wish-list "Death must Die" if you like this genre. An Ankou looks promising as well.
Keep playing this game Asmongold. Entertaining to watch 😂
Spinning and winning - Death Blossom approach :)

asmon just picking random powerups and not syncing anything is really funny lol
The first boss used to be a lot more deadly with the 40 sec curse.
oh god last time i saw a title like this i ended up addicted to vampire survivors
This game looks like a mix between Hammerwatch, Diablo and Vampire Survivors.
I been waiting for this video 🙆🏻😌
Love the boss fights in this game, in vamp survivors the reaper is basically cheese vs cheese, but here that endboss is touhou to the max.
I played from 10PM to 5AM on my day off playing this game. You lose track of TIME!
why is this game 10x better than most AAA games
Its super simple, and built off an existing formula. Not really comparable.
it's actually depressing how much more fun this game looks than diablo 4
Would like to see Asmon play Tiny Rogues. Very charming rogue like game that looks 8bit nes game. Has fun gameplay loop and great music.
edit: Also its like 5 bucks or something.
Asmon “this is huge for me” Gold
this is literally more interesting than Diablo 4
everytime Asmon says "cone lets cone" i just hear Brother Ali for some reason.
damn that music at the endboss kept me at the edge of the seat
You can buy 17.5 copies of this game for the price of 1 diablo 4 💀☠️💀
"guess im going to this blood path thing." walks away from the blood path and forgets.
This content is AMAZING.
Asmon: Wow this game i found is great!
Every other youtuber: Look at this game i found (:
Went from PoE to Diablo 4, then from Diablo 4 to this... next instant gratification game: eating donuts.
$4 dollars to return to the prime of 90's PC gaming?
Are you kidding me?
Take my money now!!
what a video best content ever !!!!! Thx you so much Asmon
