Bump

Im not good at it.

I remember this being the first time in a very long time I was interested in an AAA announcement, but I haven't felt like playing a roguelite since it released.

If the MC was cute I would have paid full price for this game on release and maybe bought DLC outfits too. But they made her a warthog so I didn't give them a cent of my money. SAD!

OP here, I'm not normally a roguelike fan, the only other ones I've enjoyed are Risk of Rain 1 and Downwell. Even so, I'm really enjoying this one.
>>714730312
Me neither. Just started yesterday, only gotten to the 2nd biome once. Still having fun, even if the first 10-ish minutes are almost entirely the same each time.

Yeah, sad that you're missing out on one of the GOAT roguelites out there.

>>714731516
I agree...And I'm not even into roguelikes that much. I just thought the trailer had a really neat sci-fi setting. But the MC just wasn't a good fit for my aesthetic lifestyle.

Same, but I didn't let that get in the way. In the actual game, she looks just plain average for, what, a 40-something? She just looks like Putin on the cover art for some reason. Almost a different facial design entirely.

She looks like the lovechild of Putin & Brien of Tarth. Why couldn't they just leave her face hidden by her helmet on the cover and give us a half-assed character creator?

>give us a half-assed character creator?
I mean that would have been ideal. At least she only looks homely in the intro cutscene and you don't even see her face while playing unless you want to wrestle with the camera when close to a wall.

How is this game on PC? Does it run good? I guess I can pirate it too.

>>714733196
Oh I didn't know it was on PC. There would have to be some decent face mods out there.

I wish the bosses were harder, especially 4, but also that the game had some seamless loop of maps where you could do stage 1-6 in a single go instead of 1-3, 4-6.

Besides that, my main issue with this is that its so much less replayable than indie roguelites. Artifacts are 90% boring, parasites kinda whatever, and most of your power comes from a weapon rolling good modifiers.

Hell, here's the entirety of the mods on Nexus. I just copy/pasted a few of them.

Hopefully you'll enjoy the game after modding the main character skin at least.
