Thank you so so so much for playing our game - your Brotato series is the reason that I got into the genre so this really feels like everything's coming full circle! We actually just released the Alpha 1.2.0 update fixing a lot of your nitpicks (showing stats in relevant screens, swaying camera, clearer self-hit SFX/visuals, etc.) so there's that too! Regarding the design of the game (and the lack of metaprogression) that's 100% going to stay like that. I absolutely love how Brotato does it - achievements unlocking content so that new players aren't overwhelmed, and that's the approach we'll be taking as well with Soul Stalker. Also very excited to add in acts 2 and 3, to make runs longer than the single act runs of the demo! Again, thanks for playing Soul Stalker, was a blast to watch, and I hope you enjoy what's in store for the future of the game :)

What exactly does the meta-progression mean? I haven't heard the term before

@@calebhayes1579 Meta progression is when you unlock things at the end of a run that make future runs "easier". Kind like how in Slay the Spire when you finish a run with a character you unlock new stronger cards to use with that character.

@@calebhayes1579 I want to point out that @irbaker74 's example of Slay the Spire being a very poor one. That's just unlocks, which is no different than Brotato. Actual meta-progression is more like Hades where you are straight up gaining permanent stats and abilities. Unlocking things like cards are technically a form of meta-progression but they aren't generally what people are referring to when they say they don't like meta-progression.

OMG it's a Paperverse game!!! Thanks for giving Soul Stalker a try, Conradical and the team deserve all the love for this project!

The aesthetics of this game are absolutely charming! 🥰 Very intrigued so far.

For the one-armed character, it really seems like the lightning weapon was the better choice since it was powerful enough to 1-shot enemies

he also reduced his power by 40% chasing crit early even tho there was plenty of crit without power reductions available

This looks like the upcoming indie game “Outbound Ghost” like from the UI to the Art to even the Animations

@@Retromation It might be from the "same devs" but there's a huge issue with the publisher and Conrad, the original creator. I hope this is truly his project, because he has been put through hell. He even talks about it on his channel.

Wow, for an early build, this seems really put together

This game looks phenomenal so far, can't wait to see where it goes with a bit more work

Retro: "There's literally nothing I can do" game: "Have you considered... accepting death?"

I definitely like what I'm seeing here and there's a massive amount of potential!

Went from cod to rougelites and never went back keep ‘em comin bro been back and forth between you and Hegelian channel buying games!

Love this style and just looks so charming and fun.

Charming game, looking for its potential, the dexterity circle is kinda of a must-have pickup.

this looks really smooth. I'll go back the Kickstarter now.

3:30 For about 5 seconds, I legit wondered why the "Pierce to Bounce" trinket's thumbnail was a picture of a cute corgi...

very fun looking game would love to see more

Looks like such a great game!! I can't wait to see more :D

My god that art looks amazing.

I'm loving this! Wow

I was really hoping for some paper mario inspiration in the gameplay, but hey, I don't know what I was expecting. I guess I wanted to see some badges but, if the gameplay is similar to brotato that's the best the gameplay is gonna get for this genre really. I am pretty burned out on survivor-likes, so I don't think I myself will check this out but I'll definitely check out more videos on this if they get made.

A badge system implementation would be 10/10

This looks interesting, I hope they polish it and it turns out as good as I’m hoping

Did not expect you to be a paper Mario connaisseur :p. The N64 and GameCube paper Mario's game were so good! I was so sad to see what they did with the Wii and switch iteration :(

the swings look good

For Needle (the one weapon guy), what if you used Shuriken and pump up your Force stat as that weapon scales with Force?

So at 21:19 I saw there's both the trinket to make bounce instead of pierce but also pierce instead of bounce. What would happen if you bought both?

Im only 5 minutes into the video and i already am interested in this game (though half of it is because there is a fox character and i love foxes). I can’t wait to check out the demo for myself, and probably even support them on kickstarter since i now have income of my own

I feel like the 3D map tilt is totally unncecesary and just makes distance in fighting harder to estimate.

Wait, did I just witness you turn *up* the sound? Has that ever happened on a first look video before?!

That blood explosion is way worse than brotatos for headaches

we need this in nintendo switch

I have the same feeling about this as with 'Crafty Survivors' a few days ago. The Game sure has potential, looks neat and has some good ideas, but it needs a lot of polish. Espacially visability and readability are lacking.

is it just me getting motion sick from the camera angle

Not just you. I’m not normally sensitive to motion sickness but this had me feeling like I was on a ship at sea. 😢 I really hope they fix it, this game looks like a banger otherwise.

Game looks amazing but that camera movement is going to make me ill. 😢

Frost mage, stacking piercing upgrades, and shurikens is insanely overpowered.

I will say, a lot of horde survival games that came out after Vampire Survivors feels like the developer went "aw, hell, it's making money, how hard can it be to make one?" But this one... THIS one feels like the devs really wanted to make this game. The amount of polish that's on display here is insane for a game that's still in alpha.

Wow wow wow I'm not buying anymore bullet hell games this is the one for me

Pity they arnt doing it for console otherwise I'd back this on kickstarter! looks like it has a lot of potential

wdym paper mario?

I can't watch this, I'm gonna throw up ;;; EDIT: Oh, you realised it (saw it in other comment's reply)

Hopefully this game doesn't become some "avoid the thousands of AOE attacks" on higher levels like soulstone survivors. Pretty boring.

Paper style have no purpose and doesn't make sense in this game and I think that makes it a Bad point. Even though it's pretty, it doesn't serve any gameplay mechanics. And it's not even the whole theme. I would have prefer having this in a game where you can draw your own character and then you fight in a book of fairy tales for example. Or being able to shift into another form origami style ? there's so much you could do, it's kinda wasted

Looks nice
