>>716463589
After being jewed for so long on Spengies 1 I have no faith in 2. I want it to be good but i'm not going to buy it for at least a year after launch to see if they drop it like medieval engineers or go full MTX kikery on it like with 1.

It starts a bit slow and gives somewhat of a bad impression making you think the rest of the game is full of these fake MMO fetch quests but keep playing at least to the first dungeon because the area that comes after is has much better quests and it keeps getting better and better.
The early game just suffers from having been developed early. Not that it's all bad but it's made me quit once as well thinking the game wasn't for me and it ended up being one of favorite indies.

I want the next game now

Ato's still an oddly memorable one for me. It's the only Metroidvania I've replayed multiple times. It's nothing special, but it made me nostalgic for older games that didn't try really hard to be cinematic, but still cared to tell a story fo some kind, no matter how simple.

Erenshor. Made by one dude for 4 years, put into Early Access with a fuckton of content, and it has gotten over 50 updates in the past 3 months.

>>716483352
Being honest, it's good, but it's not mindblowing. It's a full blown 40 hour action RPG in a setting where people are playing an MMO, so side quests aren't very deep nor help much in worldbuilding, leaving the main story to do the heavy lifting in making you give a shit about what's going on. If you can tolerate that, and enjoy puzzle heavy dungeons (and don't care for them being secretly timed), you might come away from it satisfied. I don't 100% games very often, but I did it for crosscode if that makes any difference.

>>716473505
I'm still convinced this game would've been more successful if they'd kept the original ending

The Avernum series, really low budget CRPGs

>>716482893
Most indie games are garbage, tho, you just don't hear about them. When you do, it's usually because they're good, while you'll hear about AAA through paid shills on their gazillion dollar advertising budget

Easily the best indie game I played next to Party Hard.

>>716460868 (OP)
It's good, I really liked it even if the actual gameplay was minimal.

>>716484369
I once bought an indie game and it was complete fucking garbage.
I couldn't bring myself to ask for a refund because I felt bad for the dev though.

>>716484094
There's a few flaws with it imo but overall I loved it. I backed the indoegogo the moment I played it.
The loot and crafting is atrocious but you don't really need it to complete the story.
The armor designs are mostly lame.
Enemy variants and encounter design could be more varied but it isn't bad.
I never played the dlc so i can't speak for that.

Solar Settlers (and others by BGG). It used to be available on mobile too, but the dev disappeared, stopped maintaining the games and they got delisted.

Fractal block world

I loved crosscode but god DAMN the story and writing were fucking horrible. It was so safe and tongue in cheek the whole time about "lol it's a game within a game teehee :)." They should have just not included dialogue, because it actively made things worse. Don't even get me started on the characters.

That said, the art, gameplay, zones, and music were all really good. I just hated the writing. Hopefully the new game gets it right

Actual poorfag here, indies and gachas are a godsend, the only time I ever pay for things they're 20€ at the absolute worst and if I want to save I can just keep playing any of the 4 gachas I started, 2 of which don't feel any different from real paid games.

>>716497643
I don't think the new game with will change that if you didn't like it, the down to earth casual zoom zoom writing is their style entirely and I actually quite liked it.

>>716473470
i thoroughly enjoyed it even with the janky combat. why does it suck?

>>716498828
nta but I share the sentiment. Hopefully their new game will be better by letting it have some actual worldbuilding. For all of crosscode's surface level worldbuilding, I was into the characters just enough to care during the kidnapping segment. I even felt for the final boss, they did good in making him have a simple motivation of just wanting to have one last hurrah. The DLC throws that in the trash but let's not get into that.

>>716488547
i-is that THE ROOM?

>>716499020
I never played the DLC but the tropical tile set looked super nice. Again, I would play it if it was just another town and zone to quest in, but I know it's probably just an extension of their """narrative"""

>>716478567
there's free dlc coming soon or something. alternatively, go play witch spring 3. no pieberry, but also not so free.

>>716499568
Level barely matters, just keep gear up to date. Some of the sidequests are tedious but they're literally MMO sidequests, you're not missing out most of the time.

>>716491743
what game?

>>716501991
Emphasis on "some".
I remember someone posting a list of all the sidequests and sorting them by types and that's how you notice the MMO type quests are heavily frontloaded, the further you are in the game the less there are. I think the only recurring one is the survey from the scientist dude.
Skipping all sidequests means missing out on a good half of the bosses, a lot of fun stories, and pretty much all the minigames.

Its taking too long for the next game to come out by Radical Fish, I wanted a crosscode sequel, but I will happily settle for just a new game by the same devs.

>>716502267
It's a gameplay-first experience. Combat, exploration, and character customization are the meat of it, and it's an easy recommend if that appeals. Most of the memes are running viprpg gags that are usually still silly without context, but glossary.txt lists things out if you want to know more.

>>716483352
>for like €2 bucks. Is it worth it?
absolutely. I thought it was worth the full price when I bought it on launch. If you have completionist OCD or if you hate puzzles you should be warned though, the game has more things to find than you probably will be able to all on your own, and the dungeons have mandatory puzzle portions, some of which can get surprisingly tricky at times. Both of which are common complaints about the game. Personally I didn't mind either though.

As for the positives, the combat is very enjoyable and snappy and based around the premise that each enemy has a weak point you can (but don't have to) exploit, story is good enough with some characters I really liked and others didn't particularly care for, OST is god tier, every quest line is unique, and exploration is rewarded well. Overall, it ended up being one of my favorite games ever.

DLC content included I took almost 100 hours playing this game according to Steam. Probably closer to 80 or 90 hours with downtime included. I tried finding all the chests I could find (did not find all) and I did all the quests and challenges in the game. I recommend it.

>>716506476
Symphony of War is really good. Can look cheap, story isn't its strong point either (though starts pretty good).
It's really not much like Fire Emblem, aside from being turn-based. You create entire squads out of varied units. Unit composition and their positioning matter. Units can also be customized to a certain degree. You get a couple of named characters with their own stories, they often work as super units and leaders for squads. The rest of your units will be mercenaries, there are a lot of named mercenaries with their own unique abilities.

I just tried out Suit for Hire and it's actually a pretty fun game. Sure it's a little janky in places but it's clear that the devs are fans of John Wick movies and wanted to make their dream John Wick game. Gunning down a bunch of dudes with style is pretty fun and it doesn't try to be anything "deep" or artistic, you're just a guy in a suit murdering dudes
It's actually pretty cheap too

If indie aren't releasing games comparable to triple A studios in the early to mid 2000s, 6th console gen, then they haven't made anything impressive yet. Bomb Rush may count as one technicality.

why make arbitrary distinctions? you're just limiting your own enjoyment.

>>716508692
Then define what you actually expect, fag. If your requirements are 3d graphics, good music and voice acting then indies already reached this level, including "higher gen" level with games like Trepang 2.

Both of you are wrong. It's not the price but it's more the time. The time to get your card, pay it, download it, play through it, and if it sucks you wasted so much time AND money on it. Even if it's an insignificant, the fact that you put money on something that sucks stings 10 times more.

I will help you out a little bit. The game's a little slow up until the Vermillion Wasteland arc begins. The Ice dungeon is serviceable for what it is and the Fire dungeon (as well the part that follows it) are kinda cheeks, but that's because the story hasn't begun properly at that point.

I mean a brief look at the project sure makes it seem like a direct replacement, as if it was wearing the previous game's skin to make a new, shorter, simpler, cooler and sexier game that will have less chatting with a million NPCs or getting lost without a map, and more time spent kicking ass.

>>716517923
That does look promising, but for better or worse there's a lot of punchy 5-10 hour indie metroidvanias out there. I kinda liked a sprawling 40-hour Zelda 2 RPG. No one else is doing that shit.

For a turn based dungeon roguelike, this was one of the best, most engrossing experiences I've ever had. If I ever make a game myself, I would want it to be like this, or FTL with less randomness.

I finally killed Dredmor after owning the game for 10 years (I came back to it randomly, I wasn't playing and failing at it for 10 years).
I only wish you could mod the UI. It shows its age and it's a little jank.

How would you do that? If anything i feel that ftls biggest issue is that the most consistent way to play is to NEVER take risks, making every run feel pretty much the same beyond two things

Crystal Project. It's essentially everything I wanted out of a turn based rpg. Build a team, fool around with classes, and tackle the world. Some of the platforming can be eh and it's not that great looking but it's a 8/10 game for me

>>716521467
Whatever, just know you're only cucking yourself from a good game.

>>716520435
does the class systems expand at all?
When I first tried it felt like classes had barely anything to look forward to. If I play a "build your own party" RPG I expect them to at least match what FFT had, not the whole 4 spells my black mage could look forward to. (I know FFT is strategy RPG, not 4 niggas in a row, but it is a similar principle. FF4/6 also had more spells on its casters.)

>>716521589
I'm sitting on a massive pile of games I know are good. I'll get around to it eventually. Maybe. Probably not if good Indies keep coming out like they have been the last couple of years

>>716521661
It's probably all shovelware from the shit I see retards here buy during sale seasons.

>>716520434
>the most consistent way to play is to NEVER take risks
I played just the opposite, deciding that either a run was a hit or a miss by sector 3 depending on load out. Even a glass canon with the right tools is a winner, and surviving long enough to defeat the final boss, even by a second, as long as they blow up before you do.

Play with what you have, even the ship and crew make a difference. Once beat on normal with nothing but mk 1 lasers. They charged so fast thanks to a trained crew that I could cycle just under four salvos per one enemy salvo on their boss ship (making other encounters trivial).

I actually like bombs and boarding. A really great combo with anything with piercing or flame. And if you want to train your crew, you can learn to trap an enemy crew while crippling their ship, and just let the game run for a while. Under the right circumstances, you pilot, shields, engineer, and guns can all be trained to max before you even leave sector 1 (I advise waiting until 3 to be sure you have a solid build)

As for how I'd remove randomness, that would take a couple of pages, but there are some fundamentals that I would adjust to give every run at lease SOME thread of hope.

>>716521641
depends on what you mean by expand. There isn't nearly as much fluff nor sheer quantity of options as something like FFT/FF4 but in exchange just about everything has a useful purpose. Most classes usually hit different power spikes depending on how you skill them, but in general you don't see the huge swings until you start sub-classing. For example warlock has no charge time and double spell. You give it a subclass like BM and it instantly pumps out damage like crazy until it runs out of mp, which you have to navigate with supporting teammates or equipment. It's about figuring out what's useful in the now while keeping in mind what combos will take it over the top later

>>716522314
The combat and movement are just one issue. The dev listed a number of reasons why the game failed to engage players, like:
>big confusing areas with no map
>lots of sidequests with no quest log
>loads of NPCs with lots of speaking lines about everything and nothing
>Atai town being a major slog with how many hoops you need to jump through to get the bombs and the flute (that's where most players quit)
>lame-looking main character with a lame weapon (literal stick and stones)

Interesting. Last blog I read from them, I remember them complaining about the amount of time they spent trying to make the game properly scalable through zoom only to realise nobody else on the planet gave a fuck about that -- good to see they're continuing to analyse where they went wrong, tho, promising for their future development. There's something sorrowful about when a game has clearly had a shit-tonne of effort, time and heart put into it that never got rewarded.

I get filtered by the mechanic of discarding your whole hand on turn end without getting to save any cards for later - unlike in many other deck builders.

That's the moment you know someone handled the formula right, not only they replicate it but sometimes even improve on it, look at CULTIC, it's basically Blood but there's always something more the dev put to improve it, it's good.

Seal of approval then

yeah I mean like the bullets seem to be flying in an arc

>>716519464
Lol exactly
Have you heard of Gran Tourismo? It's a racing game, but real time. Get this - you get to drive cars.

>>716529390
Yep, they are projectiles, and yeah they fo in an arc, looks fucking great when you see them flying past you in gameplay, but the bullets are fast so remember the 1 second time frame that other games proyectiles have? same here but thanks to god the movement isn't a mud crawl, more akin to unreal honestly, and you can do a slide, you are only slow when you are standing in corpses piles.

Phoenotopia was pretty mediocre but had nice moments

>>716523826
Really? I never found them to be so quite useful. Still used a couple of them.
Being able to fly was neat, though.

>>716530150
Flying is so fucking comically OP it is crazy anon

>>716528121
lol

Did anyone play this one?

graveyardkeeper suffers from having a lot of content they clearly meant to add but didn't, like the town, and a more robust system for selling craft goods.
the inn was an alright addition, since it gives you something to do with all that food and drink, but i REALLY wish there was more zombie manual labor stuff, more actual graveyard keeping, maybe making a corpse army to delve into dungeons, harvesting corpses for parts to repair your favorite zombie minions, maybe a bit of cult sacrafice to get rid of all those less than optimal organs you end up just burying and tanking your graves ranking.

For me it peaked at Vermillion Wasteland since it actually started doing something creative and subversive with the setup, only for it to return to the usual flow afterwards.
The ingame characters complaining about the MMO tropes changes little about them if they're still part of the gameplay, but at least there are lots of creative sidequests

>>716524052
this. on a related note, has anyone tried out pic related? it's a pretty blatant clone of HLD and that fact both has me interested and wary
>>716527605
if youre on pc you can cheese it with m&kb, but it's a good way to get familiar with the chain dash if you do it legit

I was picking it up and dropping it for like a year before I finally got into it. Past a certain point it just suddenly gets enjoyable, or at least it did in my case. Late game is a lot more fun also when builds are coming online and you unlock the cool moves.

>>716461535
I never played the DLC when it released so I replayed the whole game over the past week or so for it.
It's honestly a pretty good game if you stick with it.

>>716534346
the DLC had some pretty kickass bosses. I wish I had recorded them, would have made for cool webms

>>716473414
This looks just like Lumpytouch's art style, but apparently it wasn't him that did the graphics. Wild shit.

>>716534810
For me it was the puzzles.
The way that spiky ball interacts with the environment made for some very interesting solutions.

>>716534346
I wish that the DLC was a little better than it was, but I wasn't displeased with it in the slightest. Following up the end of the base game is a pretty tall order.

I enjoyed Somnabuster and the demo for the dev's next game Disaster Arms. Feels like they have a good appreciation for Mega Drive action game design without feeling derivative, and the art direction is up my alley

When is Dread Delusion supposed to get good? Just got to the first mushroom village and am bored to tears

>>716462516
Enemy placement in 1 is straight aids

When you lobotomize yourself and regress back to the mental age of someone that thinks saying bazinga is the funnniest joke in the world

>>716474521
What are your thoughts on the changes for the next release? I love most of them (especially the themed rooms, new monsters, monsters being able to fuck with chests) so far.
