I’d still hate playing inventor, and sometimes with inventor you get left with an unwinnable build for an enemy because you took a route that leads to a ton of your equipment getting scrapped.
Yeah, the episodic system means that each playthrough has one gimmick, which is usually straightforward enough to understand (this is probably the most complex episode in the game, except maybe Robot 3). As opposed to there being 20 levels of cascading difficulties on top of each other!
To answer your question about Super Enemies- all the super enemies have more HP and some sort of change that enhances their gimmick and makes them more dangerous, by about a level. For instance, regular Marshmallow has two dice and only one fire and one ice equipment; Super Marshmallow gets one more die and has two of both fire and ice equipment. This makes it more likely that they deal a bunch more damage and their status effects to you, turning what is usually a Level 2 enemy into a Level 3 enemy. Some Super Enemies get more equipment, some get more dice, some get different equipment entirely that still fits the theme. The more you play, the more familiar with enemy abilities you'll become, and the more obvious changes made to Super Enemies will be.
Vampire just… Chillin like a villain, being immortal and stuff, then the inventor breaks in with a beat-up greatsword and a flamethrower, beats the ever-living hell out of them until the sword breaks, lights them ablaze until they are reduced to near-death, then the inventor rears up the stake and executes them with it. Awesome OTKO.
And, considering rounds are basically time itself for Turn-Based games, Inventor did all that in like mere seconds. Drake would lock himself in the coffin from that point on. The horror.

The fact that time game's fundamental concept is so simple yet has so much replayability is an awesome sight to see. This game was meant for Tyler, and his commenting style and strategizing make him perfect for this game.
i do enjoy how often this game forces you to play worse/face difficulty without seeming like artificial difficulty. it's a good way to "save gamers from themselves" as we often automatically optimize strategy and make things too easy, and it takes the fun out of the game.
You have easily become the UA-camr I am most consistent at watching. I love the way you approach puzzles and edit these videos. 10/10 content creator right here!
the grindstone can increase all item durability, even beyond 4 uses. And upgrading an item refreshes the durability to 4 uses. If you use the grindstone 3 times, then upgrade it to refresh its durability, you can get another 4 uses. With that, you can get an item up to 11 uses.
It is so interesting seeing tyler reason thrue the runs without complete information. Like for me in the difficult modes the first run was testing out what you can and can't do... like upgrading grindstone to repair it and get 3 extra durability...
6:00 but what if upgrade restores the durability? Even if it doesn't it's something that would definitely be worth knowing... 10:20 I had a feeling that you could have gotten more repairs out of grindstone
Is there a way to get more than 1 Grindstone? Because if there is, that would be OP. Since the Grindstone increases all other equipment by 1, wouldn't having 2 or more Grindstones make it to where you can alternate between using one and another? This would allow the possibility of a sustaining Grindstone build. If the Grindstone only repairs non-Grindstone equipment, then what I said above is false.
Damn, that vampire got the treatment that the 3 clipped together poly bridge truck needed in the first, because a priest would have been proud of that exorcism.
Well... Maybe the game code is to not let "grime stone" be repaired , and not itself , so even with 4 grime stones, only the remaining equipment will have the durability upgraded. (Suggested "nerf" if is not like that)
@@Narinjas You're talking about nerfing equipment as if you didn't see Tyler throw like 40 dice at the final boss of one video or get 34 6's in this one.
You are still limited by how many dice you have and if you have a way to get a ton of dice then you can win one way or another, as shown in this video lol, so it wouldn't be OP, just good luck to get two
@@alexonstott4954 Fair, but when Tyler was considering upgrading grindstone, we saw that grindstone plus required evens as opposed to 6 specifically. Even upgrading one of the theoretical grindstones makes it a lot easier.
I think that a gamemode similar to this, where equipment has limited use, but instead of upgrading making it stronger and keeping the limited use, upgrades would make an equipment slightly worse but make it permanent.
"... because everything disappears so soon and this is kind of that on crack but it's just so much on crack that it loops around to being sober" That's a weird way of saying it but it just might be the best one
I have completely forgotten all these early episodes because I beat them all on my first try and so never did them more than once. What I do remember is witch episode 4. Still only episode I haven't beaten after 30 tries.
It’s been so long I played this game I don’t remember the episodes very well, but I want to see the Jester episode themed around the Thief. It took me a while to beat that one because the ever-increasing deck gimmick.
Would be interesting with the inventor to get two grindstone, and a duplicate. Duplicate a 6's till you have 1 use left on duplicate, then repair it back to full while alternating grindstones. Save 1 six for further duplicates and use the leftovers on whatever attack you want. Don't know how common grindstone is, but would be fun
I like episodes like this, where the gameplay is harder yes, but it works with the previously established gameplay of the engineer. The warrior just adding a curse every turn is harder yes. But it doesn't feel fluid like the engineer or the jester did. However I don't expect the creators of this game to add on each characters gameplay fluidly like this forever.
Tyler! Something I figured out from playing the game myself is that there's an interesting interaction between the thief and the alchemist enemy. The alchemist enemy has an equipment that lets them turn into a bear. You can use that and turn into a bear for the whole entire game, and get bear-specific attacks. The bear is honestly really strong and I highly recommend you try it the next thief run you do.
Don’t take this the wrong way: this is the first series I’ve disliked I’ve been watching Aliensrock for almost 2 years now, and this is the first time I didn’t like a few videos. That means that for those 2 years, he has been pumping out high quality and engaging videos that I enjoy. Thank you for making so many great videos. They are what help get me out of bed, because I have literally incorporated watching your videos into my morning routine.
If this was how the Inventor always worked, I would be a much bigger fan of the character.

I like this series becuase you can hop in at any episode and still kinda understand what's happening
Key word: “kinda”

Same with Inscryption, you still need base knowledge to at least understand what's happening.

basically, it's a level 1 enemy converted to a level 2 enemy, or a level 2 enemy converted to a level 3 enemy. that's the difference.
+ the fact that they are somewhat different and thus unpredictable
@@globalincident694 they can have different stuff, just the level of difficulty is around the same as the level above

With the inventor, it's safe to say your backpack is as important or more important than your current loadout for much of the game.
You should go thief, and fight an alchemist, but don't kill it, use every potion first
That was super cool, this was why I was excited when I heard Tyler would play this game
Keep up the interesting and fun to watch content

Oh boy, what bullshit is in the works now. I've got my popcorn ready!
U can use ur gadget even if ur silenced if u spam it right at the start of ur turn
The fact that items have countdowns make it 10x more stressful
Man, you''re really smart!
if you spam click the gadget before the dice fully load on your side, you’ll use the gadget before being silenced
No, fuck that.

I saw the title and laughed audibly
The end was amazing
My strat was to save the grindstone+ until the copy equipment, then the grindstones could replenish themselves infinitely
Usually Tyler's thumbnails.. exaggerate reality a little for the sake of looking good. This time it actually had to _leave out_ some of the dice
When I tried this episode, I ran out of attack cards and had to reset
What happens if you run out of attack cards?
You have to reset
There were none in the shop and I broke all mine
I wonder if tyler will ever find out about the bear character
I definitely prefer this inventor
You should play the early access game golfie. Its a rogue-deck builder mini golf game. Super funny
34 6's on turn 1... what a crazy build
The super marshmallow had 4 equipments (2burn 2 freeze) and 3 dice instead of 2equipments and 2 dice.
I love watching your vids, keep up the good work!
Double grindstone would be amazing
i hope you do all the episodes. maybe you will do some of the duplicates out of a vid
if you'd kept grindstone with at least two uses left, and had both of them in inventory, could you use them together to perform repeated repairs?
Kinda wish you thought about Scatach (or however u spell it) before u upgraded Two handed sword since they're immune to lock
that said, that Vampire kill was beautiful.
1:15 Would you say it's high-functioning, then?
I saw this on a video by a guy called alienrock but i still gotta finish it

How did you get this episode? Is it from a mod?
wait a minute, what if you copy a grindstone? can you get infinite durability (by using focus)?
I was hoping he do double repair and check wether you can repair a repair with other repair
