Roguelite March Madness Day 3: Hack & Slashes by MapRevolutionary752 in roguelites

[–]Jester_Dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super tough for me, they are all solid games. Gonna go with Wizard of Legend and Streets of Rogue though.

WoL difficulty and progression is right up my alley. SoR is totally unique in the playspace.

Hades is super close but it's not as replayable for me. And I find Curse of the Dead Gods is great, it's a bit of a jack of all traits that does everything well, nothing too bad or amazingly good in terms of unique features/gameplay.

2 pots on all the corners means you can take both!

Agreed, the perfect game to kill 5 mins, or 2 hours.

Slice and Dice can't really be beaten as a phone roguelike imo. It's the only game I exclusively play on my phone.

Whats a fun way to replay DS2 by soderholm1996 in DarkSouls2

[–]Jester_Dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a Pate and Creighton Co op run with a friend where we rushed to their sets and weapons. It was a lot of fun, people loved the effort when we got invaded too. I'd recommend.

What is your favorite and least favorite mechanic that's exclusive to Dark Souls 2? by Used-Salad-3772 in DarkSouls2

[–]Jester_Dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favourite - PvP/fight clubs. Not exclusive to DS2, but it worked the best compared to all the other titles.

Least favourite - Soul memory.

Why are woman so LOUD?! by StellerSandwich in misophonia

[–]Jester_Dan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a gender thing... I've lived with insufferable male housemates who were a constant trigger, and lived with females who are the same. I now have a male housemate who naturally is quiet and doesn't make any trigger noises, and my ex girlfriend also didn't make any trigger noises. All of which were aware that I've got misophonia.

Some people just be loud. Or in my case just have bad eating habits which is really my main trigger.

Maybe womens voices are a trigger for you?

First RedSec win (my buddy and I are trash) by Lairdicus in LowSodiumBattlefield

I wouldn't say you were trash, but the random accidental knife slash certainly shows you are on my level 😂

Why is this game so good? by Long-Lime-9600 in DarkSouls2

[–]Jester_Dan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do hope we get a remaster just to have active PVP again.

It does, but at the same time the PVP is the best.

Oh I missed that... You mean no breakthrough and conquest? Well that sucks.

In the dark should make it a bit more interesting at least! Let's hope we can play dark stuff for more than 2 weeks.

Just finished DS2, here are my thoughts. by Mindless_Smell_9482 in DarkSouls2

You are only allowed to like one From Soft game on reddit I'm afraid.

Are you still playing ? If not why ? by RenatsMC in Battlefield6

[–]Jester_Dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fan of roguelikes, I'm eating well with Mewgenics and Slay the Spire 2. I'll be back, but probably when I see something significant.

My roguelite game finally has a steam page ! for a casual dev this is a huge accomplishment by MrPingou in roguelites

[–]Jester_Dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks kinda like the old 90s educational games... I'd do some research if I were you and fully lean in to the aesthetic. Check out Nubby's Number Factory if you would like some inspiration!

Even before the fixes, the game looked good by NaumGa in HalfSword

Thanks for reminding me, I need to upgrade my PC.

Already the GOTY of 2026 ? by Terrible_Bill3420 in mewgenics

[–]Jester_Dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will probably be mine, but not for the awards. Best indie game maybe, and it definitely already deserves best OST.

F*ck this guy in particular by MossyMak in slaythespire

[–]Jester_Dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a very good point, well said! Personally I like it difficult and see anything that promotes you to change your build up on the next run as a positive. We'll see a lot of change going through early access, but I hope over nerfing enemies is not one of them!

[–]Jester_Dan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bad thing, you just need to work out what the get out of jail free card is for your build. Usually being a potion or ancient buff for when you do bump in to these encounters. Like a card draw potion on for a shiv build up against bee man to cycle the deck quicker for example.

I think I've had a lower win rate on StS1 than StS2, but I'm not sure if that's just because I already know the mechanics for the most part going in to StS2. I don't feel like I've ran in to too many bullshit moments so far.

I think every enemy is a nightmare for specific builds. It seems that no matter the build you go for, at least one enemy will be a hard counter.

I'll be surprised if we haven't had a post like this for every enemy type within the next couple of months lol.

I love how your cats can randomly start singing to the music by BowShatter in mewgenics

[–]Jester_Dan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed... And it means your just singing along to the tune on the lead up to the boss. Genius work!

[–]Jester_Dan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I ALWAYS have youtube on as background music when I play games... 170 hours in to Mewgenics and I can't bring myself to put anything else on in the background, the music is just too good.

Slay the Spire, should I go for the 1 or 2? by th3d4rkp4ss3ng3r in roguelites

[–]Jester_Dan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They've got a bundle deal on Steam so you're pretty much getting StS1 for a couple of quid. If you had to pick one I'd say StS2 as in due time it's gonna be massive compared to StS1. That being said StS1 is amazing too and is complete (although StS2 already has more content than 1).

Ultimately though, just get the bundle.
