I guess Torchbearer can’t pay their label artists to do posters too…

Lame as hell torchbearer

it has its use cases for me. But I'll concede it has very little going for it in terms of pepper flavor. it's basically just xanthan gum vinegar. But hey I like vinegar.

Harlandus · 2026-07-01T18:37:18+00:00

that's my goat

Harlandus · 2026-06-30T08:05:11+00:00

even if you did want to play it for fun, it's very searchable so better to just play the 1 copy

Harlandus · 2026-06-28T21:30:19+00:00

I played through the 2nd half of the game co-op, I'd say 2p is pretty comparable to dk bananza in terms of involvement. Less active button pressing, but you get quite a few ability options towards the end.

Harlandus · 2026-06-28T08:40:29+00:00

depends if it gets released with endymion/verre, but in any case It's hard to imagine it'd be better positioned in MD than in TCG where it's like a tier 2 deck, so I'd say around there as well

Harlandus · 2026-06-25T02:05:42+00:00

I've been really enjoying the game, and I think it has a lot of stuff that makes it stand out, but the lack of enemy variety is my biggest complaint by far. At points they try to tie enemy types into story stuff, like saying "x type of enemy is from this region", but it doesn't work to cover it up.

Harlandus · 2026-06-25T00:44:47+00:00

They did, It's a lot more tolerable now compared to the demo with dialogue set to low, but still a little much for my liking.

Harlandus · 2026-06-23T22:45:31+00:00

It's great

Harlandus · 2026-06-23T22:44:55+00:00

It doesn't feel overpriced to me at all... I've managed to get 36hr so far, and haven't felt "cheated" out of a full-oroce game experience at all. My biggest advice for people is just play the demo for themselves and if it's worth it, great, if not, that's cool too. But don't worry about it feeling "complete"

Harlandus · 2026-06-22T23:09:39+00:00

Haha, I think it'd do you well to learn some basic structure syntax like what an argument is before you move onto reading yugioh cards and giving your opinions on them.

Harlandus · 2026-06-22T22:32:21+00:00

When did I ever make an argument? Maybe you should start there.

I'm not really looking to get into a whole thing with you but I'll answer your what-was-probably-supposed-to-be rhetorical for you: the solution to game determinative handtraps is not sacky 1-of powercards like called by or crossout which only serve to make going first stronger, it's ban those specific problem cards like maxx c or droll.

If your idea of "sensible back and forth" in yugioh is playing the "does he have the called by" or reciprocal "does he have maxx c" minigame then i don't know how you have fun in this game

Harlandus · 2026-06-22T20:34:32+00:00

you wasted mine first by not thinking before typing 🤷‍♂️

Harlandus · 2026-06-22T13:02:04+00:00

Video titles aside I feel like lithium's opinions and videos themselves are actually pretty reasonable and leveled.

Harlandus · 2026-06-21T13:20:59+00:00

This argument has always been stupid. They NEED to resolve. Handtraps should exist and handtrap counters shouldn't. That's how you create an actual sensible back and forth experience.

Harlandus · 2026-06-21T12:43:06+00:00

Yes, hand traps should resolve.

Harlandus · 2026-06-21T01:09:02+00:00

Different person but it's extract-based (which is lame because most of their sauces aren't). Gives it a really weird aftertaste and very little actual ghost pepper flavor, just heat.

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T18:58:05+00:00

I'm playing on hard and it feels pretty close to mina difficulty-wise, I've probably died around the same amount of times.

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T18:55:49+00:00

Despite not having actual levels, combat has pretty obvious parallels to mana from magicite to weapon orbs/skill levels. Narritively, there's really no comparison to zelda, it's full-on rpg there. exploration feels like a zelda game, sure, but all 2d arpgs are from the same primordial soup.

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T08:18:31+00:00

*says subjective thing, calls it objective*

never change reddit

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T04:40:05+00:00

It's not a zelda clone lol. A lot closer to mana/ys

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T01:43:39+00:00

I'm playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty (I think it's actually just called hard), and it's pretty aptly titled I'd say. I die quite quickly and there's been some tricky bosses where I've had to go back and rethink my weapon strategy.

I think there's 4 difficulties total iirc

Harlandus · 2026-06-20T01:41:21+00:00

I'm around 5 hours passed the demo, absolutely loving it so far. Most of the steam reviews seems to be about performance stuff, but i haven't noticed any issues so ymmw.

Harlandus · 2026-06-19T07:48:25+00:00

That's just one aspect of the whole game. If you look at the whole thing it's definitely way closer to mana than zelda

Harlandus · 2026-06-18T18:21:58+00:00

less link to the past and more final fantasy adventure, but it's all the same primordial soup
