kuloniku is best demo

The SSR wives demo is good too.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2880000/SSR_Wives_The_Murder_Of_My_Winter_Crush/

though I honestly don't know what ssr stands for.

I've played 40 demos so far. Still have another 15 downloaded but I'm probably not going to get through them all before the weekend. when I'll be busy watching fishtank.

>>712399235
I lost count. More than 100 at least.

>>712399113
just started this and it's pretty cool so far, they really nailed the aesthetic if nothing else
the gun is fucking terrible to aim though

>I honestly don't know what ssr stands for
pretty sure it's a play on SSRIs i guess the idea is the female characters are mentally ill

Any 3d Mech games?

I really wanted to like Aquasplender. The aesethetic is unmatched: Colony sim game where you're a cult of fish people who live on a lake of blood. Very sword and sorcery, very Kull, but it was kind of obtuse and unfun.

Gone through every demo that looked interesting to me. Here are my picks this time.

Here's my current tier list:
>Day 1 Buy
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
Dead as Disco
Absolum
>Around launch
Disaster Arms
Break Shot Hero
Demonschool
BALL X PIT
>On sale only
Dispatch
Morbid Metal
Hotel Barcelona
Hunter X Hunter Nen Impact
>Not Impressed
Baki Hanma Blood Arena

>Actually bad

For Turretgirls I cheat engined money to get the better generators for the super weapon and beat stage one on day 6 like that and it proceeded to let me continue playing the other stages just kept the whole by day 10 limit.

>>712404452
>Ascend to Zero
Wish the new class they released didn't lag my framerate down to single digits. I have no fucking clue why they thought a vortex effect should cause things to continuously orbit instead of just getting sucked straight to the center, and my CPU doesn't like it.

How can one demo have so much SOUL?

>>712405753
Nice. Did you unlock all the underwear?

>>712405945
Didn't get that character, but I didn't have any trouble with performance on my old rig with the characters I did play at least. The game does look a bit blurry though which I guess is some element of the post-processing in what I hope is an unfinished settings menu.

>>712406346
>I didn't have any trouble with performance on my old rig with the characters I did play at least
It doesn't really happen until you hit endgame loadouts. Used to be that picrel would do it with 500 Electric Ghost Shots flying around and too many ricochet calculations.
They fixed that, and instead the Vortex Drone procs physics on every entity on screen, which is a brilliant best-in-slot choice for a class that litters the screen with even more items.

>>712406990
Beautiful. This speaks to my EDF heart.

>>712405945
>>712406346
>>712406990
>Ascend to Zero
The constant restarts broke the flow for me. Tiips to do extended runs?

>>712409331
Buy one or two levels of extra time at the start.
Buy one level of increased starting level so you get off to a fast start.
Freeze time whenever you're able and use the frozen time to pick up drops and move between areas.
Load up on luck accessories to get more gear to drop so you can get better gear to get stronger quickly.
And some chip drops will give you more time or cost you time for other bonuses.

Game is Brew. Pretty fun game that plays like a combination of Ratchet & Clank and Hades. 3rd person shooter with different weapons(potions), but in between runs there's stuff to do in town/talk to people/upgrade.

>Trannies BTFO

What are the best anomaly type demos?

>Occlude
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/Occlude/
Occult Solitaire. Primary objective each game is actually discovering and satisfying 4 hidden conditions as you play. I just like it for the comfy Solitaire though.

>>712409331
Other anon is basically right, it should be fairly easy to start doing at least lv.20k runs where you end up with >300 seconds remaining if you just buy as much time as possible and focus down bosses exclusively. I never buy levels, just time and later on gear drop %. Early on, having just one 20k ATK boost item means you can do the first 6~ bosses instantly and farm tech chips from them for a decent build.
Spearman and Gunner are OP <20k and their time stop attacks will help a lot.
Past 20k you can probably figure it out yourself, but it's when you start realizing some weapon effects are far stronger than others. Electric sword, electric gun, flamethrower drone, etc. will put out 10x the DPS of the next-best weapon effect and you should start farming 6 of the best weapon type for your desired class.

Decent game but don't expect Void Stranger like I did. The movement also feels really bad, but there are a lot of good ideas in the demo.

Played 20 demos so far, these are the ones I actually liked. Nothing has truly "wowed" me yet though:
>Good
Blood thief - Similar to Neon White but with a thief-like aesthetic
Metal Eden - Very polished doom 2016-esque shooter

>Has potential
Era One
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

Are there any standouts so far? Any general recommendations?
Playing pic related next.

>Day 1 Buy
Dead as Disco - just try it
Space Birds - I haven't actually played shit like this or factorio or satisfactory before. This is very dangerously addicting. Making methane to sell for money with little cute birds in space...
>Day 1 Buy If It's $20 Or Less
Gale of Neyali - SRPG maker fire emblem romhack clone. has all the vices of modern fire emblem romhacks (half the characters are inexplicably brown, terrible designs, skills out the ass, playable monsters), but it has S O V L (and MC is cute brown girl)
>Wait to see if review says you do anything besides move in a straight line, and if so, day 1 buy
Glaciered - visual delight, amazing boss fights for a 3d "soulslike", I disagree with vertical movement and staying in melee being awkward (use piercing thrusts or crystal sword to close gap)
>Buy on sale
Hirogami (there just wasn't enough mechanically there)

Just played through this. Cute top down racer that gets you into a crazy good flow state. Make sure to turn off vignette and motion blur. Perspective takes a bit to get used to. Fantastic soundtrack (though I'm a little biased because it hits all the notes of the early 2010s Monstercat tracks I loved back in the day)

>>712410851
nta; very polished and responsive but with a limited move set. You swap between characters each with their own abilities, but it gets a bit samey since they seem to be static and I couldn't find a lot of combo possibilities. You mostly rely on a perfect dodge counter (which has the animation straight from Nier Automata). Roguelite skill cards are dropped but they are mostly passives.
Enemy targeting is a tad too sensitive for me and tends to flip around a lot. I enjoyed it but I'm not sure this has legs. If you could find more active abilities and them out on the fly, that might push it over the edge for me. Will keep an eye on it.

>>712411606
AEROMACHINA has fun movement once you get the glider mechanics down. Nice level to explore too. Combat is meh though.

>>712410851
Its Warfame mix with hack n slash. Its fun for a few run, hate that its a roguelike tho. The combat is smooth and fast but the enemies are really slow and there only 3 differnet types.
Its not a parry game at all. you'll be pefect dodging alot. No boss at the end for this demo which sucks. The abilitys and switch modes spice up the fun with mode switching combos.
Overall it has potenial to be a great game, hopefully they elevated the dull roguelike elements and the have bosses that are challenging and fun to fight

Will prolly try out into the grid cause of your post
I'm curious if you played anything that was outright laughably bad or so bad it was genuinely upsetting and baffling
I've tried a few that were pretty shit. The one specific one was "music producer tycoon"
It's literally a blatent ripoff of game dev tycon, the exact same mechanics, making "music" that gives you points for "bugs, design, research, and whatever". How the fuck are there "bugs" in music, retards? They slightly changed the look of the sliders and use "picks" that you have to manually drop into eavh slot, so it just looks and feels worse. On top of that, apparently youre supposed to be able to actually listen to the music that you make via the AI generating it based off of the settings you set. This WOULD have been an intresting idea, except for the fact it didn't fucking work lmao. The only thing it did to set itself apart from the thing it blatantly plagiarized was have a guitar-hero style minigame. What a shit demo and what a shit game

>>712413017
There's a new boss and unblockable attacks from bosses are gone. New cutscene and hub room
>Enemies from outside the screen can just teleport
Its easier to spot then before but it's still a skill issue. sometimes you just back up and move the camera to get a better view of the enemies, not just fight near wall mashing at one guy hoping the other 5 guys will ignore you
>ranged attackers show the line of their attacks right as they throw their weapon
They show a line before they fire now, and when they do fire the line gets larger. As soon as the line gets larger you can dodge counter regardless of how close the projectile is to you.

Good thread. Was tired of the general tranny

played Star Birds after anon mentioned it here
I'd really rather just play an actual factory game. I bailed on it after 100%ing the first two levels without playing the final level. 100% a level requires you to purposefully make a bunch of useless waste product and that annoyed me for some reason.
This is probably really just meant for people who won't autistically force themselves to 100% the levels and will just casually enjoy the cute bird factory game. aka not me.

OEL manga characters with chip tune music. The UI reminds me of ps2 games before they were boring streamlined boxes and feature-less gauges. The art direction and voice acting may turn some away unless you particularly like that 2000's english-dub vibe or that modernized-retro aesthetic. The game is basically tetris and a match-4. The block mechanics are interesting in that they allow you to fix your mistakes. The basic tetrads are present, along with more annoying and larger pieces to work with. The block mechanics offset it which makes the game considerably easier. Red-hair side boob.

It's weird, I thought it'd be like polish Resident Evil or Silent Hill, then it was polish fetch quests with shitty traversal and shittier melee combat. Didn't wind up finishing it.

SSR Wives was really disappointing, the camera is insanely annoying unlike the games it's inspired by and the combat feels shit too. Weird bible shit thrown in all over the place that doesn't fit the rest of the aesthetic either and seems kinda forced. The main menu sound track is pretty good though, I guess...

>I'm curious if you played anything that was outright laughably bad or so bad it was genuinely upsetting and baffling
About 15 of the games I tried this time fell into the "barely playable garbage" category, yes. Various games like Sinker Sound or Hlilna or Chetta the Machinery girl had bugs within minutes of starting that made it impossible to progress, while other games like Starlight Revolver or Ayna are put up while in early development with placeholder menus and I can tell that those devs are just retarded for thinking it's a good idea to showcase their game in next fest in such a state.
But there's really no need to pad out the image with comments on every piece of shit game I tried each time. They very much are not worth mentioning.

Mecharashi in particular I suppose is worth noting because I was expecting an actual game and I got low quality formulaic gacha trash instead.

>>712419935
Playing Ratatan just makes one long for the days of Patapon whereupon the devs actually had an idea of how to make a good game instead of just chasing trends and nostalgia.

>>712429120
The solution exists, I just don't tell anyone what it is because I am generally extremely disdainful of idiots.

Only people who can figure out basic problem solving get to see the whole list.

>>712429385
>it's a good idea to showcase their game in next fest in such a state.
Is it really? Unless it actually releases soon they may just want to get feedback if their game is even worth to keep developing or not

Down to my last 20 or so demos which is good cause my list is getting so long it goes off the bottom

I would give my left buttcheek for devs to start pumping out FTL clones

People giving Ragebound full marks makes me lose the extra bit of hope in /v/'s taste and vidya literacy I didn't know I had.

>>712429678
Ayna launches with a disclaimer that the game's been in development for 8 years and is still years away from being finished. With it still having placeholder menus after that tells me that they're incompetent and the game will probably never be finished. Starlight Revolver's demo is the sort of thing that should be considered an alpha playtest and I suppose they think it's justified because they're planning an early access launch. Next Fest is supposed to be limited to only once per game so if a dev takes that shot at promotion and uses it to say "our game exists and we want people to test it" instead of "our game is in a good state to show off and make people excited for it" I say they have the entirely wrong mentality.

>>712430148
Yeah and he should've made something original instead of making a game that's substantially worse than Patapon and just banking on people's nostalgia for Patapon to generate interest. Really humorous timing that Patapon's getting a remaster in a couple of weeks too.
Ratatan would be the best example of a game that was so bad it was genuinely upsetting, actually.

>>712430319
Void War came out last week.

>>712430625
>Really humorous timing that Patapon's getting a remaster in a couple of weeks too.
My extremely lukewarm take on this matter is that the Patapon remaster is a rush job ordered exactly because of Ratatan's popularity. So I guess the Ratatan devs did at least something good.

>>712430319
No shortage of those if you know where to look. Another dismal moron who can't find what he wants.

There's like two actual clones and several games that might be considered "close enough." This is not what "pumping out" means.

I was very excited about proper new 2D Ninja Gaiden and I am very upset about the sloppy misguided mess that we got. My fault for putting any trust into Blasphemous devs of all people.

>>712431265
It's stylish and the animations are superb. As a game it fails though, it's just too easy. The music and rhythm hardly plays a role outside of set dressing.

>>712431329
Or you could just, you know, prove me wrong. It'd be so easy, if you actually could do it.

Bits and Bops and Dead as Disco made me realize I have no sense of rhythm.

Are the animations bad on purpose? It's 3D but looks like rotoscoping. Fascinating.

One of the mahjong games probably

do you faggots play anything other than metroidvanias, roguelites and anime bullshit

High Fructose seemed neat but the balancing is ass. None of the enemies take any hitstun at all and there's no indication of hp or anything so its a crap shoot if you slice an enemy and it dies or you slice it and it hits you instantly. Then it introduces enemeis that make everything in a radious completely invincible enemies also swarm to, so you can't even see the guy you need to kill, who himself takes several hits, during which you're just eating damage and there's nothing you can do about this at all since you only have melee unless you kill specific enemies for a buff, which you can't do when they're all invincible
Then it randomly put me in a platforming section. I don't know why.

>>712432508
I’ve already put three and half hours into it, feels like fucking opium to play a game this good with the presentation being icing on the cake. Wish all indie games looked this slick. I just love the shot of the run starting when the mouse goes up the ladder to the upside down city with the flat texture clouds rolling toward you. So cool. Then the cosmic dust weather making it hard but fun to look at.

>>712433589
We also play SHES A MANIAC, MAAANIAC ON THE FLOOR

Phase Zero might be the best demo I've ever played holy shit the atmosphere is incredible, they nailed the gameplay feel and the pacing is perfect.

>>712432437
A lot of these have extra shit I don't care about, like Shortest_Trip_to_Earth with its ship management, or Convoy with completely different combat, or Abandon_Ship that significantly deviates from FTL.
I meant full on exact FTL clones like Void War.

>metroidvanias

>>712424073
Yeah I played one of the siege stress tests. The servers didnt crash but it was still so laggy that it was barely playable. It was like Red River except not crashing.

People struggled with getting the battering rams into position as a friendly player could block all forward movement. We had to yell 'Press Q' at randoms who couldnt figure out the dismount ladder button.

The stamina regen is very slow even if you unequip a shield. I think the design is to make you slow and limit your actions per second so that they can stretch out the server estimating your position on other clients in a laggy environment. By keeping the game stupidly simple in some respects, theyve also kneecapped themselves - no way to cripple or slow a solo person kiting away. So right now the game is not fun. I didnt expect it to be, but to me as a player not much has been done in 5 years on their serverside improvements to make it interesting. If the game played smoothly and lag wasnt noticeable, they still need to add a lot more to make gameplay interesting and not a boring slog.

>>712430148
>It's the actual patapon devs
then why it's dogshit

>>712432437

anyone else have it where when you open the festival page the steam client just crashes after a few seconds?

This was surprisingly good considering its one of the least played 2D games in the entire fest. Guess the genre is just that niche?
Not quite what I expected from the tutoiral. Tutorial is all basic enemies, the actual game is basically a boss rush.

People like to claim indies save gaming with their originality but the fact is indie games are either
A: Something you played 20 years ago but not as good
B: Another indie game that did well recently (the current 'in' things are russian roulette and balatro clones)
C: Actually something worth caring about
Its overwhelmingly A and B

>>712433589
anime bullshit site

>>712436512
So yes, indies are saving gaming with a crumb of originality, compared to AAA games which have none

>>712433780

>Dead as Disco
First game I tried of the fest and definitely my favorite. Similar to hifi rush's beat em up synced to music, but this one lets you import your own music which lets you do a lot of fun stuff. Full game seems to promise a much more in-depth editor which I look forward too. Wishlisted.

>mecha simultactics
Love yomi so a mecha version of that sounded right up my alley. The isometric style and destructive environment is great, but the controls feel clunky. Rather than just having all your moves onscreen you need to constantly go in and out of menus to get to your move/attack/special movelists. Still wishlisted, I'll keep an eye and pray they improve it.
>star birds
cute resource management game and I enjoy birds. I believe this has some tie to some educational youtuber but I've never watched his content. Camera control over asteroids is a little weird at times.

>>712439807
So do the enemies change their attack speed based on the rhythm of the song then, or are all the songs just the same beat?

>Burning Sword Death Sun
Another Chinese studio makes a Sekiro clone as their first game with predictable outcome. Why is this so common? It is pretty chuni in a kino way though.
I wish we could get a good action xianxia title besides the monkey game

>>712440137
yeah the speed changes, you set the BPM of the song you're putting on and they follow that. I've seen some people put in 200+ BPM songs and the enemies start moving at a retarded pace

>>712439681
Nah it's timing your attacks to the music's beat
If you do it right your attacks glow red and have a different moves than if you don't match the beat. I think it causes extra damage too.

Undertale is not popular because of the gameplay, but story, music, characters and memes.
Vampire Survivors is not popular because of the core gameplay either, it just hits you with dopamine directly. Though I guess it helps its popularity that for "gameplay" you just run around in circles and do nothing else.

Dangen fucked over the devs of Devil Engine and Fight Knight which is why those games had massive delays, the head Ben Judd supposedly stepped down after this came to light but it turned out he was still working with them in all but name, fast-forward a few years and Dangen and Ben Judd are getting sued for fucking over the Penny Blood devs this time. Judd was also involved with Mighty No 9 and was the guy who made the "it's better than nothing" comment.

What an utter waste of potential.

Bloodthief is fun as fuck holy shit.

Just tried the Jupiter Hell Classic demo and... It's actually DoomRL but with the promise of getting updates and balance changes every now and then.
Also the shotgun is not the OP weapon that it was in DoomRL, which might be good or bad, depending on how much you used it as a crutch before.

Another game I can't make webms of because it's too based for /v/

>>712454953
I know, I couldn't even make a meme video with Deltarune music and piss off some people

So uh, did they fix PIONEER? I managed to beat the prologue but then infinite loading screen and subsequent error messages stopped me from playing further.

>>712455585
Forgot to mention both games are actual, proper roguelikes, so be prepared to get killed a lot and restart from zero until you learn the ropes of the genre. Good thing is that every run is relatively quick and there's a lot of easier difficulties to choose from as you acclimate to the controls.

>>712455585
Is Jupiter Hell non-classic literally the same game but with le epic graphixxx or there's actually something meaningfully different bout it?

>>712450874
kek can you link me the video to this? does the camera man even say anything or does the trans just notice the panning

>>712456485
Jupiter Hell non-classic is a sequel, really. They're both pretty similar in broad strokes just because of the nature of roguelikes, but they're decently different.
By the way, Jupiter Hell classic is LITERALLY DoomRL, not figuratively. It's a reskin with an original IP instead of being a doom fangame

Yeah, I knew about DRL rebranding but was a bit out of the loop on JH "proper." Thanks.

>>712455809
That's a big rat

Ball x Pit is fucking awesome

Why so many demos are boring? I have played around 20 demos so far and I only liked:
Three Wishes
Primland the Magus
and Roger
Mahou Shoujo Escape(though I have mixed feeling about this one because it's very short)

Steam actually won't let me record more than 6 seconds. I guess it's fine since /v/'s 2004 file limits only allow 4 mb anyway.

>>712454891

>>712457510
I like the part where 4 separate sounds play simultaneously when trying to fish. Personally I play with the metronome as well

Yeah. It's definitely something. I might spend some time trying to get consistent A ranks catching the big fish.

Normal Jupiter Hell has a lot of different systems that will destroy you if you try to play it as if it was DoomRL. It looks the same on the surface, but it plays way too different, with its own set of rules, classes, enemies, damage calculation, etc.
This Classic game is almost a 1:1 copy of DoomRL, so I guess they're gonna abandon DRL and focus on this one. Thanks, Zenimax, and your fucking bullshit lawsuits.

>>712421150

>>712459540

That's just sad

>>712459610
They also said jhc is planned to have workshop support so a mod to re-doom the assets is likely gonna be out within 12 minutes

Ball x Pit is kind of neat I guess. But as far as Devolver demos go I'm honestly more impressed with Shroom and Gloom this season.

>>712459656

>Sands of hope
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2821450/Sands_of_Hope/

Mostly played it cause I like little orb robots and desert environments. It's cute, but seemingly the main mechanic is solving puzzles with moving and attaching cubes, similar to Botw/Totk mechanics. Controls for it are not great though. The world was neat from what I saw and personally I liked the graphics, though probably not for everyone. If they improve controls it might be worth a look, but it's nothing too special.

'Occult' was pretty generous. It's really just plain solitaire, with the added gimmick of finding which 4 cards need to go on top of the final stack. Was expecting more interesting mechanics or at least rewards. They say 'ooooh, the rules are hidden' but it's just 1 really basic condition per game.

Any good spectacle fighters / character action / cuhrazy action games?

>>712457664
same, I kept getting stuck at trying to hold tension while also moving the line to catch the beats

>>712459902
I can guarantee you the devs of this game would never come to 4chan

>>712460406
Meta progression is never good, it's stupid padding. Unless it's light - like unlocks of items and characters, instead of e.g. permanent 0.005% upgrade to nut size.

>>712460583
You are wrong.

>Friend has 26 hours in the Jump Ship Demo
I don't know man, I still prefer Barotrauma to this. Hopefully some way cooler ships are coming in release.

>Cast n Chill
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/Cast_n_Chill/

Knew going in it probably wasn't for me, never could get into fishing games. Tried it out for looking nice and it definitely delivered on that front, really gorgeous game. I imagine for someone looking for a nice and relaxing idle-ish game it might be interesting. Seemed to have a decent amount of stuff to upgrade for longevity.

>>712460641
I am wrong, because..? Talk to me. Let's actually have a conversation here.

Turn-based Dungeon Crawler. Nothing special, a bit basic, but looks kinda cute and even soulful. Just a small neat game made with intentions of making something nice. Will buy it when it comes out.

>>712460672
My friends and I played way too much Barotrauma already so we're looking forward to Jump Ship. Really looking forward to the base building expansion for it next year though.

>>712457664
>>712460506
yup, same. it's just a bit too much. I think I'd be fine if you just had to click to the beat while playing pong, but needing to click and hold and also release to the beat after a specific amount of time is too much for me to keep track of while also playing pong

>>712441608
Pigface has speedrunners too

>>712460473
If you want a real "Occult ritual disguised as a tabletop game", try Appolyon. It's not a next fest demo, though, it's been out for a few years

I love remakes so much it’s unreal.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/878900/GMH__Good_Morning_Human/

Very fun fly-through-the-corridor game, felt really smooth to play. First levels were really easy, but the later ones ramped up pretty well. The evil robot-overlord-AI who comments on your gameplay is mostly annoying and incredibly generic as an antagonist and was not needed. Made it on my wishlist and if there weren't more demos to try I would have kept playing.
(Also in the demo you are restricted when choosing levels but by going "next level" you seem to actually have access to all of them?)

>>712459656
Not him but as someone who hasn't picked a side in this retard fight between you yet, you're definitely not making a good case for yourself by first sperging out about something noone mention and now trying to spin two-button rhythm gameplay as cream of the crop.

>Only 4 examples of the word slop appearing in this thread, making it about 1 per every 100 posts.

>>712462051
It didn't. Has been mentioned and recommended throughout several threads. I made it past the tutorial and realized it was good enough for me to wait for the full version without having to spoil myself. Especially since you can't rebind the keys in the demo. Jumping mechanics feel stiff but the dev is a darling and said he'll look into small adjustments for it.

I think this is the first time we've had someone shill their game this hard in a Next Fest thread. I've attended every one since the inception. Most anon devs are pretty polite, they drop a single pic or webm, link their game and then lurk for a few days.

>Jump Ship
Absolutely miserable playing solo, or even with just two players.
Difficulty 1.0 missions are effortless, but 2.0 and 3.0 immediately become an endless series of scrambling back and forth if you don't have 3+ players.
The game endlessly sends shit at you that constantly whittles down your ship's health with no way to mitigate it, you just have to trade damage and hope they don't jump in while you're exploring a station.
The sniper bots are cancer. The shape of your Reactor grid is a fucking joke at your expense for the railgun it gives to you. The layout of the ship you start with is fucking obnoxious and made for you to get caught on lots of extrusions.
Maybe if I had a dedicated squad of three friends, it could be "fun" but then again the game itself has an utterly fucking boring pace.

People have no idea how to make a good demo anymore. I don't want 30 minutes of fucking cutscenes or intros, drop me in the game, give me the rundown and lets go.

>>712470857
the president is rorikon too so he'll be safe

>>712470985
I dropped the Stellar Blade demo for this reason. Unskippable cutscenes for a bland story and a forced tutorial for resting even though I hadn't fought any real enemies yet after the prologue.

Completely different game
Squirreled is a base-builder meme, its trash

>>712399709
I gave this a go to. The first run, I was a real mess, constantly out of ammo.
Second run, I realized I should avoid all auto-shooting modules. Got a double crane, then an electrified crane upgrade, which massively boosted my passive damage to enemies.
It's still a bit hectic to keep the train coal'd up and heal, and use guns. But it's "fun".
My one big complaint is that I felt the boss was a bit "eh"

>>712472365
I'm glad the rec was of some use at least.
I also lost my first run because the autoshooting needler ate my ammo and made it impossible for me to fight the boss. I didn't really have a second run because I figured this was good enough for me to wishlist anyway. There are actually coal modules that can help immensely, like the upgrade that loads coal every time you use a module or the upgrade that makes coal 50% more efficient at the cost of 10% train speed. I used those together to practically never have to load coal beyond the first heap, but that's RNG-based.
On the other hand, your gameplay changing in such a drastic manner depending on your luck are one of the best reasons to even have RNG. Just need to patch up the blatantly shit parts like low damage autofire guns that rape your entire ammo stock and offer nothing in return and it should be peachy.
