Looks quite good, the "drawing into coloring" inbetween maps is pretty cool!

Aesthetic right outta Okami!
A multiplayer session would be nice to see how things play out with friends :)
The combat reminds me a bit of Paragon and the Ink thematic is kinda neat. Idk if it's my jam, but it feels innovative enough to give it a try. Thanks as usual for showcasing!
I like the tome system, changes the theme of a run a bit while also acting as progression.

Kinda wish that part was embraced a bit more
bit late to the party, but i want to say that this is my second favourite coop rogue-like after gunfire reborn. please give the devs a chance and buy their game, i want new content asap :D
A graphically-refreshing game, but every bossfight had me constantly checking phones for possible calls. Those bgm sure got vibes....
this gives Crab Champions, a bit.

crab champions is soo good though. Not a complete masterpiece like Risk of Rain 2 but its amazing in its own right.
This may be the MOBA roguelike combination I was waiting for!

Not to rag on this game, but Ravenswatch is a MOBA roguelike that has much more replayability than this, at the moment. Definitely recommend it.

@@reedyxbug Ravenswatch kinda sucks and I say that has someone who has over 70 hours in it. Maybe it's more fun if you do co-op but single player mode is a drag.
Really fun game to watch. Hope we get more of this.

Hades is the best Guard
Idk if its just me, but I think some enemy shots 'hit' you even tho it shouldn't, i think you have a bigger hitbox than usual?
'It's just an image' has the same energy as 'just don'y buy microtransactions if you don't like them'. Ethics are important and it's good that you follow yours.

Not at all. AI art is using drawing models without the consent of the ones that were involved and are being marketed by people that clearly didn't make it. There's no easy way to get rid of it and no protection for the ones that were affected. Microtransactions differ based on what it's being sold in. A free to play game having microtransaction is fine and is still valid if the content being sold does not provide any advantage to the player, ie skins, and is priced reasonably. If you invested a lot of time playing something for free and enjoying it but stand on the grounds of not buying anything just because and not a legitimate reason like financial situation then you're just saying devs don't deserved to be paid for maintaining and creating content that you enjoy. If it were in a premium game that's bullshit and just them nickel and diming customer at that point, but the players still have a choice in whether they do or don't buy it. Although that still comes with the caveat that the game was tuned with microtransactions in mind which still makes it bullshit in premium games.

@@audiocorps2334 Quite the tangent, but a reasonable viewpoint. I personally regard it like the grey field that it is, AI art is a great way for a person with no artistic talent or money to get a piece of art into their games as a placeholder. I don't see reason in avoiding ALL AI art, because in my eyes it's not the art that is the problem, but how it is used. And in this case it was most likely used as a placeholder with the intention of commissioning proper art once the game has turned some profit. Though even my previous point has a caveat, I respect anyone's choice to abstain from anything they choose based on their ethical boundaries.
Interesting. The ink theming is reminding me of Inkbound, which I suppose isn't surprising when there's an entity called an Inkling in here, but the gameplay is definitely more Risk of Rain 2, and I enjoyed both of those. I may have to look at this one.
Good on the devs for recognizing the AI stuff was a mistake and correcting it!
this game is great, the only problem i have is the harder content is impossible solo. you need to have a team for it. that kinda kills it a bit for me but a good game none the less
I wonder what kind of meta progress you like in roguelikes, any games that you think do it really well?
Can you go around the entire library. I see table's in the background do they do something to.

Wait so they went back and redid all of the AI art? If they did I might buy the game

I also hate ai art and I feel like a majority of ai’s implementation has been to the detriment of the internet and the entertainment industry any projects the have ai voices or art I can’t support

They got rid of it, yeah! Apparently they'd bought an asset pack without realizing it was AI generated, and went out of their way to make sure to remove all of the offending assets.

Some thoughts from the get go around the 2 minute mark of the vod, mmm...The foes does indeed seems to be quite accurate but then again, as long as they don't outright have op homing missiles and such that is just meant to wreck you even with skills, that should be fine if not well. Too many games that tend to baby the players nowadays too much, even on more difficult levels. This game requiring you to actually constantly take mind of your surroundings and actively get away harms way and maneuver, very welcome I'd say. And despite them hitting a lot more, again, if you actually play the game and try, you can get away from them and they also don't hit that hard, yet. All in all, quite fair. Unsure about how it will scale though and uponnthe rest of the game. Will see.
Those attack sounds are weak af. Are you throwing pillows? xD

after browsing review i think you may be right. Maybe 14.99 even.
It feels like the first few minutes of the video are missing. Almost straight into the game, no intro screen or looking at the sound options.

I flubbed the OG intro, but after the tutorial it just dumps you where I started the video.
Is it Coop
Looks like ror2. I am in
ethics? in this economy?
Now make it cross platform.
Looks very much like the risk of rain. Doesn't look different enough tbh
I don't see "hades" here, rogue like exist before hades, this looks like smite, devs have to stop describing themselves as "hades" to attract an audience, it's getting annoying, as for "risk of rain", I'll give you that, it might steal some of the thunder (pun intended)
