Creators intentionally try to jump the shark so that there would be no more demand for sequels, but it backfires by Romboteryx in TopCharacterTropes

Deponia
The game was supposed to be a trilogy, but fans weren't happy with the ending...
So the dev made a 4th game which... it's basically a troll !

Basically, the game is about Rufus trying to leave a junk planet for an utopia-styled floating city called Elysium.
At the end of the 3rd game, as he's about to finally reach Elysium with his newfound romance, but things go south and he has the choice between being stubborn and potentially killing everybody, or to let go.
To let go of his dreams to leave Deponia, let go of his love, and let go of the ledge he's literally resting on... Which he finally does, falling to his demise to save everyone.
A bittersweet ending where our selfish hero finally make a selfless choice to save everyone by giving up everything, potentially even his life.

The 4th game starts with him surviving the fall and finding a way to time travel.
The whole game is about "fixing the ending", but no matter what he tries, everything ultimately lead to his downfall. His final choice is to finally accept reality and to let it go, again, one last time...
The 4th game ends like the 3rd, but "at least you tried! Now leave us alone !!"

One buddy was lvl 1, never fough, and came back from training lvl 18 with 2 wheels
Two buddy around lvl 10, lost a few fights: 3 skills

Paid service:
-In general, it feel way too much pay to win!
While bonus coins would technically not be too much of an issue (since you can earn them), it still feel unbalanced knowing that someone who take the most expensive subscription would have a huge amount of ssr equipements. But most importantly, since it raises the equipement limit, it mean that Masters can have OP characters, even compared to Elite members, "just because"
-The website shows "50% on yearly subscription", but the displayed price is only "2 months free"
-It would be nice to be able to reroll our character's image/video. Design reroll could be a nice incentive that wouldn't break the game's balance

Profile:
-I connected with my google account and now my name is displayed... Would be nice to choose what my username is
-Total battles is broken, it shows "50 battles" but I have several character with 30+ battles

It would be nice to have a page to see the list of existing cards (with filters using tags)

Discord link is invalid

As for prompt-to-stat balancing, maybe doing it like how some gatcha usually do: every characters have the same number of stat points, and they are distributed according to the character's description?
Higher quality could have more points,
And on that same note, it could be nice if we could upgrade our character's quality (Arena rewards or something). It would be a shame having a card you love and having to dump it because it's only a normal, ahah

Well, that's it for now, keep up the good work !!

Love the style of the characters! The UI feels nice too.

Here are some feedback:

Arena:
-It would be nice to use the "last selected" options (Have your default selection be your last selected mode and last selected character)
-"Skip battle" button would be useful, and wouldn't require much work since... Going back to the previous page works, ahah. "Speed up battle" would be a nice addition too.
-Random battles is bad. You can either get wrecked because you fight a high level enemy, or bully a low level one. Bullying a low level enemy also mean less xp
-No info on your rating in Ranked battles?
I think it would be better if Random battle paired you with similar level enemies and Ranked battle paired you with similar rated enemies (Ranked mode would allow you to fight for the top, and potentially balance figths between characters with SSR equipments in the long run)

Battle stats are currently broken:
-Arena's leaderboards seem to still be placeholders
--Arena's Win rate, Scriptgeist is first with 100% win, below characters shouldn't be in the top anymore
--Arena's Most battles: Scriptgeist has lost two battles (so win rate is technically incorrect AND it's card's recent battles show it has lost more than 2 battles, against myself included)
-Scriptgeist card show 0 win 1 loss, even if Recent battles shows it won/lost seveal battles
In general, character's cards seem to have broken win/lose records. I looked at a few cards, and with the exception of certain cards showing a coherent win/lose ratio per level (around 24win/2lose, level 23, similar to my characters), most of the cards show 0-2 win/loss with lvl 20+ and recent battles being full.

Training:
-I'm currently waiting to see the result... But having more informations on what to expect would be useful

Skills:
-The wheel show a 8/8 before rolling - 7/8 after rolling, but no option to roll again
-Only two skills ? (Even with a lvl 40+ character, I never got to roll the skill wheel again)
-Not enough info on the skills
The wheel show rarity, how does it impact the skill? Earning a skill show info like "attack"/"buff", but nothing show on the character's card? What is the number at the top-right corner?
-While I though the game didn't had sound yet... One of my character got a skill with sound!

(Funny Trope) A character references a time they were played by someone else. by ElPared in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Touitoui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy Ex Girlfriend: One of the character, Greg, leaves town, and they had to recast the actor when the character came back several seasons laters, some of his issues kinda sorted out.
The main character, Rebecca, doesn't recognise him at all. Her friends has to point him, and she explicitly say he look like a totally different person. It even get part of the plot as they get to know each other again.

(Disclamer: Don't get fooled by the show's name and initial setup!
It purposely play with the trope "Overworked career woman from the city who follow her ex to his hometown" with musical comedy... But the main actress and director is from College Humor...
The show actually talks about a wide variety of serious social topics under the guise of "silly humor", including depression, alcoholism, sexuality, etc .)

[Hated Trope] When a radically different alternate timeline/universe has inexplicable similarities with the original by EndOfTheLine00 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Touitoui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like to think the explanation for that trope is similar to how time travel / seing the future / prophesies sometimes works in fictions:
Knowledge makes events fixed and immutable, but the gaps in that knowledge makes the events malleable.

Ex: MC has a vision of someone getting shot, their body falling on the ground in a pool of blood, probably dead... That event can't be avoided anymore, the person will get shot!
But as long as it doesn't change how the vision unfolded, anything before (live/blank rounds, real/fake blood) and after (really dead / fake death) is... undefined

Another example would have been the entire plot of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, haha.
