Thanks Jeremy for opening my eyes.

for real.

Well, how do you think people get into selling drugs? A lot of game developers are game addicts who can't fathom any other way of making money. Then there's Nintendo, lol.

To be fair, they said they only started the sequel about three years ago, and this video was released 5 years ago, so they might have still been focused on the main game at the time. I don't even think the Watcher was out when this video was recorded.

Board game first.

wow its almost like they had multiple years to develop their plans or something

I mean, it's been 5 whole years.

Just look at the Adventure Quest flash web game series...

Alternatively, scaling slightly in random directions, like Monster Tower is doing

Not totally related but the constant bobbing of the Cuphead guys makes the constant dying a lot less frustrating.

Same. I also had no idea that the attack icons changed based on the damage either.

Also, being colour blind, this information doesn't really help me :D

@@lookingforsomething well its also a different icon as well so its not color reliant

what is the trick?

@@seandoyle2769 Dead Branch and Corruption.

@@kewlhotrod gorramíle

I heard it a lot too when i was just starting to play the game. A lot of memes about that in reddit and i lost so many times trying to get the specific cards for that combo.

kinda surprised they haven't nerfed it if he feels that way lol

love that eggboi

Same reason I got it

EYY EVERYBODY!

I bought it because I got so sick of being angry at his misplays . Love you egg daddy

Shout outs!

I love the background art, especially "The Beyond". Some of the enemy art is so-so IMO but the card art is really great.

I think you fail to take into account how many people are really stupid

I think more accurately, the game has neither very flashy visuals or a very unique style. It's good looking but doesn't blow you away, but is also clean and easy to follow. Monster Train, a game I often see cited as having a better art style than StS is not really better. I'm not going to say it's worse, but it certainly has flashy visuals that are very reminiscent of mobile games. StS also has a lot of cool art you never pay attention to, because your brain is processing the gameplay so much it isn't focusing at all on it. Part of it seeming lackluster might simply be not ever paying attention to the art due to so much focus on the gameplay.

Why publicly advertise you have poor taste?

@@Krossfyre Monster Train is deeply ugly compared to STS (modern STS at least, I only picked it up last ear so I can't comment on what it looked like in 2018) in my opinion and this is why i haven't bought Monster Train

yeah you unlock everything for each character after doing like, 5 - 10 runs with them. So you unlock the entire game in just a few hours.

@@vizthex And even that seems more like a tutorial than anything else. Unlocking cards that enable synergies slowly so you can get used to the mechanics in a slower pace.

IT'S JUST THAT GOOD

I did this in reverse. Several hundred hours on Switch convinced me to buy it on PC, where I've also played several hundred hours. I will definitely buy this on mobile when it eventually appears.

now buy it for mobile release man lol

what a consoomer

runic dome

Yeah, I've only played with Runic dome once, because the "random boss relic" option gave it to me

It's ok to play with if you know the enemy's AIs very well, but making their intent known the rest of the time is what makes this easy to learn and get a feel for. Also, with specific decks, it's a matter of "if I can setup, then I will never have damage mitigation problems anymore", like with strong but slow to start barricade decks, or a less aggressive defect build, for instance something power-based that scales pretty fast, or just something with lots of frost orbs and good focus scaling. And then the fifth energy can really help block during the early turns, before it becomes a "non-problem". So it's pretty situational, but not necessarily feel-bad. It can be a great feeling, too, to be able to plan around the random parts of the AIs, and make correct predictions - it makes the lines of play more complex to follow, but it's pretty cool, because it really changes the gameplay experience. But it's definitely not something to grab lightly. Also, it adds variance to the game from the moment you grab it, so that's not necessarily great.

It works well with barricade/body slam decks. No matter what, you want to gain block, 0 energy body slam them, so what they're doing doesn't matter to an extent. (Maybe weaken them)

Yes, seeing intents is worse than not seeing them... What does this have to do with this video? Are you seriously saying you couldn't figure out what the symbols above the enemies meant until you watched this video? Wait, no, you're saying runic already made you lose so... Uh, what are you saying? What did this video make you realize?? Also, why are you not saying the name Runic Dome? Oh, you're copying the Devs said...You realize they just don't wanna give away a OP relic and card combo? It's not like they decided to not name items arbitrarily, lmao. Did this comment get over 100 likes just because it *seems* like it's saying something even though it's utter gibberish?

That makes sense to me, as a netrunner fan I'm so glad that someone like this guy made this great of an interactive card game. his netrunner influence is real because STS and Netrunner, as well as Ascension are the ONLY card games I like.

Perhaps they were trying to replicate the success of Dream Quest (store.steampowered.com/app/557410/Dream_Quest/), which, you must believe me, is a really excellent game.

it looks like a traditionally painted horror fantasy, idk how people think that this looks bad (unless your talking about it's old "art")

I don't think this game is all that good.

@@iranoutofnames6444 Artist here! I think It's middling. The dark and quirky element would probably be lost if the artstyle was too clean, or just too precise, but it also looks a lot like things I'd do when I wasn't as in control of my art. So there is definitely something cool here, but i think the execution could be better. I'd like to note that I'm mostly speaking of the monsters and characters. The card art is cleaner and more consistent overall.

The more i play the game the more i actually enjoy the art style of it. It's very unique.

Oh god, so true. First few games I thought the trick was finding a path around the Elites while still hitting as many events/camps/shops/treasures as possible. Now every floor is, "okay how do I hit as many elites as possible while still hanging onto a tiny thread of hp?"

This. Such a great game. I watched a Let's Play for a few minutes and was immediately sold, then literally took a day off of work to play it all day hahaha. I've about 200 hours into this game now and cannot WAIT for it to release on Switch and Android.

There are several "clones" such as Dungeon Tales(with Warlock being surprisingly innovative despite the rest of the game being a shameless copy) and Night of the Full Moon(which was a DreamQuest clone instead afaik) I hope mobile StS won't have the same memory & power consumption problems, when it's bad enough on PC

I got the worn reference on one of my first runs it was one of the greatest things ever.

@@postofficeinternetonce what’s the worm reference?

Its really good and the 4th character is almost done. The game is worth the money beyond doubt.

i have 65.5 and alot of this is thanks to the incredible mod support, cosmetic stuff,characters, game overhauls like downfall, googly eyes, "everything is the same but ironclad has a cowboy hat" and so on

Look up the downfall mod! A bunch of dedicated fans made just that!

Slay is infinitely better than that rip off

Rouge like?

@@GeminiLeague en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike

what about *many* daggers?

@@iranoutofnames6444 Shiv decks FTW

Have you played the new character?

@@BryceJ80 I have, I've beaten the heart with all characters except her. Actually having a really hard time with her haven't even reached 3rd level I think. I like all of the mechanics in there, but just haven't made it gel and combo effectively enough. How about you? (I don't read any strategy guides or forums I like to the discovery phase of strategy)

@@BryceJ80 Ughhhhhh! Finally had a good deck and thorns. Could have beaten the heart, but I made huge play error in the elite fight just before and lost 50 hp in a single turn. LOL GG

I was searching for this comment after he name dropped dorohedoro

Still don't get what's the problem with visuals, i find them pretty appealing tbh

It was exactly the same for me, avoided because it looked janky... played til 8 a.m. the next day the night I bought it.

It's reminiscent of clickbait and definitely can be improved to be less formulaic in its wording, but I think it's safe to say that the majority of us are indeed here just for that: to watch a story told about a technical/creative challenge that dramatically threatened a game's successful development.

@@CornyBum Yeah. Most games are going to have multiple times where something didn't work and almost derailed the project. I'm not sure what else you would expect from a war story haha. Agree with the title though.

the visuals definitely take time to get used to but the game was absolutely made with love and passion

Man, I've only played on Switch and I still lose turns by trying to look at my potions. For the first week or so I would actually look down at my controller to make sure I was clicking the right button. And I've had switch since launch!

@@RobinClower EVERY TIME. But Switch controls make a bit more sense, you just have to keep in mind the top most button goes to the top of the screen. I think Xbox it's the right most button or something? And then the button you'd expect to be cancel/go back is, of course... skip turn
