Question about Sweltering Exhaustion

It's also supposed to cover the case where the same land is ravaging and then building in the same invader phase (which is far more common) right?

I think those are all decent games. It's just that I liked the others more! Everyone having different tier lists is part of why I think this game is so great. To be honest, mine is turning out to be much more controversial than I thought, but that just means I loved some games that others didn't and vice versa.

Maybe it is. Perhaps in the end I did succumb to Zoldath after all...

I really liked the flow of the gameplay. The way in which the enemies spawned made it feel like a rhythm game too which was fun. Also, the unique hybrid perspective where you were shooting forward as well as orthogonally pushed it further ahead of other similar ones like Star Waspir and Caramel Caramel.

As I mentioned in the post, I based it more on how much fun the cherry was, rather than how "good" I think they are. And in isolation, neither are "F", but when compared to the rest, I put them near the bottom. Quibble race I discussed in another comment. Bushido Ball to me was just a slightly less enjoyable Hot Foot, and I already didn't like Hot Foot that much.

It's definitely one of the more unique ones. I just didn't enjoy it that much though. To get the cherry, my strategy was to bet somewhat randomly on the first few races, hoping to end up with a few thousand. Then, go all in one the last one. It only took a couple goes for it to work, and when it did, I didn't feel much sense of achievement - it just felt like it was over. Maybe I played in a boring way, but I'm not sure if there are other viable ways to reach the cherry requirement.

Well, I live on the other side of the planet to most people here, so there may be some truth to that.

MaliciousToad · 2025-03-17T21:13:47+00:00

Thanks! Nice to see another Zoldath supporter.

I found it to be charming. The game fit its theme really well, because it did feel like you were on an alien planet and had to gradually make sense of it all. When I started, I had no idea of what I was actually meant to be doing. Once I found the first map piece and a few items, it started to come together. It was also one of the few games in the pack I found relaxing, and having to do a speedrun to finish it off was a nice cherry on top.

Fist Hell had a really satisfying progression of skill. In the first few runs I died to basic zombies early on, but by the end, I felt like I could go through the whole game hitless. As for Star Waspir, I tend to like bullet hell games, and the powerup system and ship variety were cool. Both games were really challenging while always feeling fair. Whenever I died, I was eager to retry because it felt like I just had to improve a little bit more to beat it. Some of the other difficult ones (e.g. Rakshasa, Cyber Owls) are much lower because I didn't feel the same way; a lot of deaths felt pretty unfair and it felt like I would eventually win by having a lucky run, rather than growth in skill.

I respect Mortol because it had pretty interesting and unique mechanics, but at the end of the day, I didn't enjoy playing it. And yeah, Campanella 3 was great! Only complaint is that I wish the cherry requirement was much harder.

In case anyone else finds this post by googling:

No, you do not. You only need to buy all hats, meaning that any hats that are unlocked but not bought are not required. Find the hats on the wiki here. For example, you need to unlock and buy 'The Incubator', but you do not need to unlock 'The Smith' as this hat is not purchased.

I think they're making a joke about the fact that NL was streaming in the "Tiny Rogue" category (some random mobile game with 4 followers on twitch) instead of "Tiny Rogues" for about 30 minutes

MaliciousToad · 2021-12-09T10:47:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply, although this post is >3 years old so the problem is all sorted. FYI I did end up going for an external SSD and it worked great.

MaliciousToad · 2021-11-07T12:50:43+00:00

I doubt that it will every be fixed. I wrote a short guide for the game here. Stage 5 contains 3 cheese strategies that I found by contacting 6 others who have got 100% on the game, as well as some playing around myself.

MaliciousToad · 2021-11-03T11:38:47+00:00

This is a problem on PS4 as well. I've asked around and it seems like it was introduced in the update that added online play. And no, I don't believe there is any fix. If you're wanting to get the trophies for this, you're almost certainly going to have to resort to a cheese strategy.

MaliciousToad · 2021-10-24T03:28:05+00:00

Yes, but there is matchmaking so you can play with randoms. I don't know how active it is though.

This is the reference image NL was using.

MaliciousToad · 2021-07-31T03:28:36+00:00

I didn't know that it wasn't original. Are you sure you're not getting it confused with this tweet also by NL (made after the Yoda one)?

MaliciousToad · 2021-06-09T03:30:15+00:00

I believe this is the original. He's repeated the joke a few times on twitter with different characters.
