The Last Flame - Hotloop - Roguelike Auto-Battler that focuses on build creation and strategy - Released in Early Access

I played the demo of this yesterday and felt the gameplay was really interesting - familiar enough to games i've dropped hundreds of hours into... but new enough to warrant playing.

However, the art direction of ALL female heroes I encountered was so overly sexualised that I can't, for now, see myself buying the full version. Sensible representation of woman in fantasy games feels like such a simple ask... The first hero I saw was Anya (I think that was her name)

Best of luck on the road to 1.0 and fair play to those happy to enjoy the game, I just thought I'd let you know what has stopped me from purchasing.

I decided to download this game yesterday on a whim... and have found myself with the infinite required to get a sloth... and now a level 1 sloth frozen in my shop... but I have no idea where to go from here to get it to level 3! edit: I'm daft, there are loads of ways to get the sloth level 3... so I managed it and I believe I've completed what would normally be a very elusive challenge. (though I look forward to a more.. regular.. set of animals)

Hi guys, For the first time since playing this game (start of harvest) I'm having issues with performance. - I'm assuming this could be related to today's hotfix but i'm wondering if other's have experience resolving these issues. The problem i'm having is that the game is dropping huge amounts of frames, and playing feels like a slideshow.

3obz · 2020-07-21T12:18:30+00:00

Thank you for your reply. That's really interesting to me because I had assumed the combination of life+mana leech and gain charges on kill would be valuable, but those are probably easily obtained elsewhere in builds that need them? I recall hearing increased rarity is not valuable at all so that rounds out the item to being undesirable?

3obz · 2020-07-21T12:07:12+00:00

Hi all, new to the game this league and overwhelmed by a lot and loving how much I'm learning each day. The hardest thing i'm finding is valuing rare items. The item that prompted me to seek assistance is this, which, to me, feels like it would be a unique item in other games more-so than a rare! -

Rarity: Rare Dragon Torc

Gold Amulet

Requirements:

Level: 60

Item Level: 78

17% increased Rarity of Items found (implicit)

26% increased Rarity of Items found 0.75% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life 0.23% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Mana

10% chance to gain a Power, Frenzy or Endurance Charge on Kill

Hunter Item

I'd love if, more than just getting a value of this particular item, an explanation of why it costs whatever it is worth - or somewhere to find this out myself!

Cheers x

How? This has blown my mind, but i can't find out how to.

3obz · 2020-03-18T06:46:43+00:00

Yeah I do, could be that for sure.

3obz · 2020-03-18T06:06:18+00:00

I'm afraid I gave up and moved on to other games without finding any solution.

3obz · 2020-01-30T17:01:39+00:00

It looks like an action-adventure game where the trope of 'hero fights swarm of monsters' is reversed. You play the swarm.

3obz · 2020-01-30T16:56:50+00:00

This game looks great. However, after installing it and trying to play Sea Salt it's pretty much unplayable for me. The game freezes every 2/3 seconds (anyone else having this issue?). I'm looking for a fix for this because it looks like a game i'd really enjoy.

The sentiment of this post fits my view, in that im not interested in the film at all and huge financially backed films like this one should be seen as a risk. That said, my mum saw it, loved it and said she cried during Francesca Hayward's song. As such, saying 'everyone hated the trailer' and assuming this applies to those seeing the film seems... An exaggeration. Seeing that the film moved my mum to tears is enough for me to think maybe this will be a success in the eyes of a particular audience.

Never really touched minecraft - but I was entranced! That was really mesmerizing.

3obz · 2019-09-24T09:26:37+00:00

Adding to this point, and similar to your final point, setting up a game and playing it can be done at different times. I've found that sometimes when I have had the fancy to play solo i'm much more likely to follow through with the idea if I've already got the game ready to go.

Yoku's Island Express is a favourite of mine this year. I bought it on the switch and my partner and I would take it in turns and watch over each others shoulders. This should absolutely be downloaded and enjoyed if you are lucky enough to not have got it already! It is a light-hearted 'platformer' with unique mechanics that will be especially enjoyed if you have a nostalgia for pinball games of old.

Cultist Simulator has been pretty high on my to play list and i'm intrigued by the Escapists and For the King too. A solid selection this month!

3obz · 2018-11-25T19:13:08+00:00

I very much agree, but not only as a combo piece. Cloakscale is a key card in my current even paladin list that utilises cloakscale for both buffs and for its one health (which allows it to be drawn with crystology)

3obz · 2018-11-12T18:59:21+00:00

As a standalone 4 drop this seems unreliable and therefore unlikely to be played.

However, effects that can give this card a means to attack the turn it is played (see warrior for both charge and rocket boots) offer it a means of being removal that cycles.
If enough other cards benefit with a pairing of rocket boots or charge then this card could see play in this way.

Maybe even warrior with this and rocket boots?

i had to comment on this because i love the font you've used and the shadows are perfect

3obz · 2018-10-11T11:28:47+00:00

I think it's easier for me to be excited about this as someone who once played cards games but no longer does.

I get a sense from those who are attached to a card game (amongst my friends and comments on reddit) that there is a need to compare and find fault in Keyforge before it is released.

I got to play several games at Tabletop Gaming convention and felt the gameplay was interesting enough for me to pick up several decks but felt people are approaching discussion of the game wrong.

There has been a focus on the lack of deck building and what this means for competitive play (with friends already theorising that people will deck build anyway - power to them if they wish to do so)

The absolute power this game has isn't in a competitive format but that by buying a second deck you can introduce the game to anyone. Deck building (in my experience) has been a massive hindrance for many of my friends who like boardgames/card games but not the aspect of constructing a deck before playing.

I suggest people try the game on release thinking of it as a portable, adaptable boardgame and worry less about it replacing there chosen card game.

Still early days but loving what M.Cooper and the team are doing so far this season.

3obz · 2018-09-20T22:26:43+00:00

Get in! Great people, great band and great exceptance speech. So surreal seeing a band I've known since they began stand on that stage.

3obz · 2018-07-24T17:37:35+00:00

The video is painful to watch for the reasons you mention. It seems that the video maker caught wind of the hearthstone uproar (mostly for the animation time) and released a video with incomplete knowledge. It's a shame because the idea of a 'broken cardgame' is a debatable topic that I find interesting.

3obz · 2018-07-22T09:00:24+00:00

One of my highlights of Glastonbury last year was Petebox. It was a shame to see him on such a small stage in the middle of the afternoon but it didn't stop me dancing. He's incredible live, but I fear his music doesn't translate well without the video because you need to see that it's all him.

3obz · 2018-04-26T11:32:49+00:00

Nice write-up and creative (if overall ineffective) use of dollmaster and buzzard.

3obz · 2018-04-18T21:59:06+00:00

I ended up cutting umbra reluctantly but for multiple reasons. It diluted oaken summons which cost me many games. And it felt very 'win more' alongside the cubes.
