Will probably end before episode 20. This gives me crazy strong Flinthook vibes stylistically, musically, and progression-wise. And we all know how that game fared.
I was waiting for the egg to realise what a mistake he'd made saving Plasma Cannot with no countdowns. Then he pulls the boss which requires you to use a 40 dice countdown. Egg luck.
to be fair the game's actual progression seems really tedious - the other 'episodes' are just a bunch of annoying challenge runs rather than gradually harder vanilla runs - so I could see the series ending pretty quickly
Aishiteru Yo Yup, this game is pretty disappointing. There’s been a lot of false advertising, claiming it’s an endlessly replayable rogue-like. In reality there’s so little gear for each class that runs end up really samey. It’s such a let down because the concept was so cool, if they just added more gear then the game would be incredible, instead of a game that’s fun at first but you get bored of after a week or two and exhaust the types of runs you could have.
@@VoraciousSergal "I'm relieved," "I hate hats," "On anyone, not just me," and "You see someone and think they have a weird head and then it just turns out part of their head is a hat." OH. Ohhhhh so the headset is a hat we thought he had a weird head oh.
I hope this & Streets of Rogue continue for a least a few more dozen episodes. Really enjoying the two series! (I would mention SMM2 as well, but we know that isn't going anywhere soon).
@@iiquailconsumer5248 Monara is right. A square is just a rectangle that has the base equal to its height. All that it is needed for a rectangle is four sides and four straight angles, and a square fulfills that description.
I mean, post flamethrower he would have been consistently putting out a max of 9 damage a turn (with all his dice being able to be concentrated into there), vs a max of 6 with shock. Admittedly, the hammer would have been somewhat more likely to get it's maximum damage, but it's not super cut and dry.
@@UM96lol 5+1 is a 6 with spanner but a 6/1 or 5/2 with bump, the difference is there is no difference with flamethrower because you'd want the highest numbers possible so spanner is still best especially when you have 4 or 5 dice cause you'd get rid of your lowest or highest dice depending on your equipment, in NLS case, with the hammer you'd want to get rid of your lowest cause a six is the best outcome. This game is hard math so nl is going to flounder a bit I feel once he gets on a episode that isnt.. well, easy mode.
@@napalm777 Yes, I am too. I'm talking about the point where he was forced to choose between sacrificing hammer, flamethrower, and spanner. That's before the wooden stake.
He has a point though. If you use all your dice for damage anyways, it doesn't really matter what values are in flamethrower. Better to put a 6 in Hammer than it is to put it in flamethrower, since it satisfies a conditional effect.
Inventor is busted, with Flamethrower and her focus I was able to do 45 damage to the boss turn 1 on top of burning all her dice and then kill her the next turn
I had a run with inventor where I saved 2 crystal swords all the way to the end just so I could sacrifice one to make a fury gadget and then fury'd the other crystal sword, and I ended the battle in 2 turns bc I had some other good equipment I can't remember lol
I hate her too. It's not that she's particularly hard, it's just that being unable to build a run is like the antithesis of why I (and most other people, I imagine) play roguelikes.
Hey NL, suggestion: slap your face in the bottom right of the screen instead of the bottom left. The only thing you'll cover is the "end turn" button but we get to see the glorious character sprites! Love the series btw.
I'm sad we didn't get to see the Electromagnet+Accelerate play A huge damage card that gets better the more you play it+a gadget that lets you play it for 1=fun
I had this run with two upgraded flamethrowers, epic and stupid. Plus the boss was awesome when I realized it was the dragon and had to kill him with hammer+
I'm enjoying this series but I'm terrified of watching it too long. We could lose him down another 600 episode rabbit hole and be down 30-45 minutes of content a week again. To quote dan, sometimes he just gets lost in the sauce.
@@Wolf_ManJack first of all, I have a question. How am I a sociopath? The sociopath might as well be you, because I gave a reasonable argument and apparently I'm "strawmanning you." I was just stating my opinion, not smothering your opinion like a fire hose to a candle. I never meant to cause an argument, and the real sociopath is you.
The inventor is probably my least favorite character in the entire game. Where every other character feels like over time you are getting stronger the inventor just never gets her footing due to always sacrificing gadgets, and while those gadgets are powerful in the early game by time you get to the final floor and the boss they become more of a detriment then a boon as you can never really make a good synergistic combinations due to breaking your stuff all the time.
I really don't enjoy playing as the Inventor either. Like NL said, you can't really build a run, as you can't reliably preserve more than two pieces of equipment. She's not necessarily hard, but her playstyle seems to really work against what makes these games fun Anyone perhaps have any tips or perspective that could make her click with me more?

yes im loving this one probably my favorite NL series in a long time
Will probably end before episode 20.

29:18 “Who do you think you are, ME?” I lost it lmfaooo
actually hilarious how taking the -6 to all counts thing was actually beneficial because of wooden stake.
I was waiting for the egg to realise what a mistake he'd made saving Plasma Cannot with no countdowns.
Then he pulls the boss which requires you to use a 40 dice countdown.
Egg luck.
I know i was really face palming but it wont be NL if he didnt make the most weird choices.
The "for a bit" part is worrying.. Don't take away the dice dad.
but he has basically same pieces of equipment on every run when playin same character and fights same enemies, how long can it go on? :(
@@Ryan38475 I dunno but there's different episodes with different rules that he hasn't checked out yet, so that'll keep it around a bit longer
I wouldn't be too worried. He didn't plan on playing Slay the Spire very long either...

NL with the egg luck again, picking the perfect Inventor passive ability for the boss for all the wrong reasons.
Egg without headphones is extremely cursed
15:22 for anyone wondering btw (no I didnt just skim through the video to find this)
I hope this & Streets of Rogue continue for a least a few more dozen episodes. Really enjoying the two series! (I would mention SMM2 as well, but we know that isn't going anywhere soon).
SoR will definitely stick around for a while. This will probably end soon.
I'm loving this series. Also, I really like the change to the Eggcam size. It's a little less intrusive (been loving the Eggcam so far).

To be fair Ryan does overvalue some really strange stuff when it comes to these games, thats why A20 took so long.
That flamethrower play against the rat king tho..
nl takes bump and not spanner, when spanner is a garuntee'd 6 for hammer when bump requires a 5, tisk tisk.

13:51 unless you build a loadout for the boss in your backpack and equip it before the fight but I haven't tested this theory so it may be bs
