And second time and three hundredth time, haha.

@@ImmortalTimothyM Precisely.

Noice

When you put all your points into programming but forget to level up design

Damn,thats way too much for this here in India its just Rs.450 which is like $6

To be fair, it's not that difficult to wrap your head around, just slightly cumbersome to use zoomed-out in-game. Not great by any comparison, but I mean... not a huge deal.

@@minhuang8848 Yeah - but the tiny text is only annoying; the real issue is you are required to read it in the first place. If they develop a color, shape & iconography system for the upgrades you quickly learn have a general idea what upgrades do and you don't need to read the fine print for a casual run - and you can study the exact metrics of the upgrades at your own leasure when you're developing new strats. Also, the skill tree is ridiculous - they could just made curated list of things you are allowed to unlock until your PB gets to a certain level so you're not immediately crippled by choice paralysis. Sure, this is more a point of debate because some people really like games that throw you into the deep end from the beginning - but it's just something that could be handled better imo. Dead Cells and Hades are also a highly complex game, but it unleashes its the full potential much later using clever progression systems it creates a better journey. Sure this takes a lot time to develop, but they don't have to "that" good - they could tried something to turn the game more into a journey and not into a spreadsheet. This just feels outdated - which is still fine, but considering the retail price I would expect a bit more effort or at least an early access plan so we know that the game is not finished.

It's one guy making it

If the one guy get the right people

I don't think I would call the gameplay super polished. It's good, but is very much the same game for each run which isn't really a plus for a game touted as a roguelite

@@lifetake3103 how so, there are a ton of different towers, upgrades, and the map is randomly generated?

@@jameslovdokken the map doesn't really change how the game is played, and the way you place towers and play in between runs doesn't really change. Early game is focus on damage, mid game you get an Armor Buster, late game you put focus on Shield compare this to bloons, who has so many different towers and map designs with water, unplaceable tower positions, and choke points that incentivize piercing shots, immune enemies, etc there isn't really any intuitive gameplay that focuses on a particular strategy, it's just "know how much damage you need" I genuinely think this game would benefit from giving you not just one, but three towers at the beginning, and really increasing early game difficulty, while including multiple types of land, such as desert, water, jungle, etc with their own different quirks, and letting the "roguelike" part of the game progression have more interesting upgrade choices like having lightning chains, or shots that can pierce.

Classical music and death metal go so well together. Check out Fleshgod Apocalypse.

@@OfLastingThunder The only reason I know fleshgod apocalypse is because of osu!

@@NoShotTwoKill nice! I'm an osu nerd too.

Peak NL content

> rouge tower GTFO

I love huge skill trees, PoE style, where your brain physically melts just from looking at it

I love it, doesn't mean it can't be spruced up a bit, could be a bit cleaner, but huge skill tress are so much fun to me.

There is a beauty in complexity. But not in this case...lol. Good design is a necessity in this era.

Insane that they charge 12.5 eur for this game in this state. What the heck.

I was watching the vid on a 37 inch tv close up and didn't understand the small text issue at first. put it onto a normal monitor, holy shit it's awful

I bought it to try and I just couldn't lmao had to refund it and the lack of a inc speed makes it feel so shit waiting for mobs from the otherside of the freaking map

It's a single dev team man's doing his best

That's not even an excuse, how did this slip through their own testing XD There is no way they thought this looked good when they tested their own builds

self-healing and spawn a fast critter on death the ultimate NL killer lol

Which ones self heal?

@@jjhill001 the yellowish ones, just as he loses you can see the green healing numbers they apply to themselves

This game would definitely be better if the different units were instantly recognizable at a glance, hard to do when the game zooms out so far though

I have 0 experience in the game and even I could tell he was screwed

Filling the bar levels up the tower, essentially free upgrade.

Agreed....and I don't play them much at all. He seems to think along the line of "closer to the problem sections = better' instead of using the radius to determine the placement. He barely touched the middle section just NE of the lake. He would have been hitting mobs on their way out of spawn, and on their way to the tower.

Those were the days

@@punk105 nice nickname

I mean, you spend like two minutes just picking skills you don't have, it's not great but it really doesn't have to be great tbh. The only thing really impacting gameplay is the UI scaling with zoom level, which is just utter nonsense to be sure.

Just pirate it lol

bruh you spend more on one trip to mcdonalds

@@Ivy-rx1oj its not about the amount its about the worth of what you get for it. For a start, no speed up? No thanks.. XD

if you enjoy tower defence its worth it imo, expecting every game to be at extremly competitive prices is kinda cringe. its a 10 buck payment 1 time, no P2w nor Micro transactions. if it was a tripple A title then yeah they should push the price down, but its an indie dev. 10 bucks is not really that much, its like 30-40min of work. let me tell you you get more than 30-40mins out of this game.

@@djdisorder639 No speed up is the killer for me

Skill Cactus is actually the perfect term for this monstrosity

Heavy disagree, the UI is kinda bad, but the gameplay is solid, there's 0 bugs, game plays how it is supposed to. I'm glad the game isn't in early access hell. Once they fix the UI the game will be *chefs kiss*

URAYULI

Finally, someone says it. The lack of specialization is killing me. It's leading to an abundance of undifferentiated towers that all do an equally shitty job.

Mana bolt is not a trap, you just need a few upgrades or siphons for a huge damage increase across the board. Sustaining level 2 of the card in contrast is much more difficult to maintain.
