Oh snap! Ive been playing this on PC for a while and i didnt know it was coming to switch and getting a physical! I really like the "you and your enemy" power up system because it keeps the balance from being too overpowered on either side. Also protip: be careful who youre shooting at! If you kill a piece that has another piece behind it with a movement option towards you it will bypass your shields and kill you on the spot

What do you mean by that last but - could you give an example?

@nubocerbo 8 ай бұрын

@@voodooguitarz let's say on your board you're about to shoot a pawn that has a rook behind it. If you kill the pawn, the rook now has a clear path to checkmate you even if you have full shields. Same thing goes for bishops and especially queens. It's easy to overlook and I've lost a handful games that way

Been playing this a lot, awesome game! Click down the left stick to see where the opponent moving options! Helps a TON, also head up. The shaking pieces are the one moving next. This game is fairly deep, I like the blade builds! This means you can upgrade and one hit melee sometime with a stun if you get the upgrade card!

@xiii.5331 8 ай бұрын

I get that feeling, which is why I usually prefer Roguelites over Roguelikes. Maybe think about it like this: You don't get any stat increases, but you get another form of progression after each run: knowledge and skill.

@@xiii.5331 yesh I know.. but i’m really not a fan of difficulty in games, that’s why I mostly play jrpgs so I can just grind away the difficulty if need be 😝 even roguelites are often too difficult for me to enjoy them. I wouldn’t mind them if you could, after playing dozens of hours, unlock skills that makes it a lot easier to finish the game. Never really found any game like that yet and reviews rarely talk in depth about the unlocks from meta progress so it’s hard to know..

I never liked these kinds of games until Vampire Survivors came out. Binding of Isaac almost got me, but I didn't like the art style or the creator's sophomoric sense of humor and I don't think I ever got very good at it lol but games like Vampire Survivors and Balatro have become my new obsession, this looks right up my alley.
