Well, who knew? Just finished a game in Jupiter Hell exploring the new paths and getting settled into working with Army of Darkness and the shotgun buffs. Game rocks, no question. Edit: the game does have mouse support, although I like it better with just the keyboard. It is turn based after all. Also, the game works superbly on the SteamDeck. It plays very well with both the Deck's innate controls or using a Steam Controller, as you would expect.

been playing it on steam deck too and it's great! I'm amazed how dope the steam deck is.. idk why it's not more popular! It's basically a more powerful, [heavier, louder] nintendo switch that I can play pirated games on! Only real complaint is battery life, but I knew that going in; doesn't matter anyway, I just wanted to play in bed instead of walking over to the couch 😂

I bought this after your last video covering it. It's one of my favorite games for Steam Deck. I love the fact that you can eventually switch over to melee only and still beat the game.

I just bought this during the Steam Spring Sale and am obsessed with it! It's a roguelike but feels like an action game. It also controls very well on my Steam deck!

absolutely awesome really appreciate the trad roguelikes you've been showing recently, this is the kind of coverage that got me into devving

Damn, I absolutely love this one. Glad you covered it again - I had zero idea there was an update!

The game's FAQ says this about using a mouse : "Yes, the game supports Mouse, Keyboard and Gamepad, and can be played solely using one of those controllers (including playing solely using the Mouse), or mix-match (i.e. Mouse + Keyboard). That said, the benefits of the adaptive animation system (move as fast as you input commands) come most into play when playing with Keyboard only or Gamepad only and that is what we recommend. Mouse support is opt-in in the Settings menu."

Hey...I hope you've gotten out of that car. Best of luck.

This is one of the best roguelikes I know, massive kudos for covering this. Nothing quite like it anywhere, except the original Doom RL which was incredibly fun as well.

I like it when you talk about games that are already available rather than those to be released in 2 years. I have had this one for a long time in my library, time to give it a real try.

Love this one! It's like Doom 3 became a roguelike. It's my go-to when I want a gun roguelike or else there's ToMe and Zorbus that I discovered watching your channel as well. Thanks for the vid.

I have been thinking exactly this for a long time: that this game is basically Doom3RL. Great game.

Good to see this game getting coverage! Its amazing.

Indie Passion Projects like this always end up being the best games! Love this game even though it is brutal as Hell!

As others have stated - there is mouse support. Also, I think what Splat said about moving diagonally is wrong. Pretty sure I read somewhere that it just shows diagonal movement as one move but it still counts as two. There is a possibility that I'm mixing that up with quasimorph though, not a hundo percento on that.

@Sihoiba

You are correct on this, the only way you can actually single turn diagonal move is to melee kill an enemy who is diagonally one space away from you.

Hi Splat. A long time fan of your channel. You went through so many, some great, some bad, games. Have you ever thought of doing some top 5 videos? Something like Top 5 roguelite, top 5 RTS. For games that stuck with you. That you feel like should receive more attention.

It's a very fun game. Got it a while ago. Perfect for those times when you want to game but don't want to get into or have the time for something deeper and more involved.

I remembered you covering this game a couple years back. It looks pretty cool, love the Doom vibe.

another amazing game you've shown me, thank goodness for Splat and the Nerd Castle. I've found tons of titles through your channel and Indie games are where it is at now!

That soundtrack bumps.

Thanks for showcasing. ^^

Excellent game. Very fun and tough. The weapons and environment make it feel like Doom 3, as others have said. When you get a lot fo good perks going and good weapon drops you can get very far. Got this after seeing Splat's first video on it. GLHF Also - Always take a grenade launcher or RPG when they show up, very important for later levels, when enemies hit hard and are very tanky.

This game is pretty excellent. Loved Doom RL from way back

Damn I wanted to see you finish the run! :D

just a reminder that Cogmind exists and is 100% high tech item driven, with over 1600 items and counting.

Thank you for the heads up on paths of Akra (or however you spell it.) As someone who has 3000 hours+ on Jupiter Hell, that game sounds interesting. :) And thanks for a great video. (Jupiter hell is amazing, I have finished it several times on Apocalypse difficulty, the second secret unlockable difficulty, which took me a long time because I suck at the game..)

Hey Splatty hope you're doing well my guy. Been enjoying the vids for a long time and looking forward to your videos and streams always brings a smile to my face. Also I saw an Empty Shell video post earlier today but it poofed. Did the vid get struck or something?

Jupiter Hell rocks! It is probably the best representation of a turn-based Diablo game which is interesting to consider as the original Diablo was initially designed as turn based. It's good to see more updates for it too.

Loved this game, its the first "rougelike" I ever beat and that was just a few months ago! and now a bit more content to play again!

JH was my most played game of 2023 making up 11% of my total play time! It plays best with a gamepad IMO. Along with ToME, this is one of the best balanced roguelikes I've played on easy/normal difficulty. The SMG's are not that good... extremely short 'optimal range' past which you take hit chance penalties, low damage, tons of ammo fired at once. It seems like every other weapon type has a niche to fill, but they seem like they just waste a ton of ammo. VS no/low armor enemies it's "okay" but higher single hit weapons will do more damage VS armored enemies like bots which is where the .44 revolver/hunting rifles come in, though you have to load individual rounds. You can compare equipped/held gear vs what's on the floor with a button.

I love the Fallout 1&2 style interface.

Someone needs to make XCom that never pauses, but runs in slo-mo. You have to give orders and respond as things happen. Endless oppurtunities for glorious slo-mo explosions, ricochet sparks, etc, etc. It designs itself and I am certain there's an audience.

I’ve been playing this title off and on since the last time you covered it. I think I’ve won once. On easy. A run can end in a turn or two. Love it, but it makes me rage. Edit: forgot to mention I’m not a huge fan of any of the three classes, but don’t really have any ideas as to what else might work without affecting balance

Single shot 'revolver'.. Lol

If anyone is looking for another gun-based top-down rogue like, I highly recommend Synthetik (both 1 and the early access 2). The gunplay sounds and feels amazing, the soundtrack slaps, and the action is frenetic and non-stop, with lots of potential to break the game in half with crazy combos.

Cogmind is great for a roguelike about blasting stuff.

Gearhead Caramel is a mecha rogue-like, not all are fantasy.

Hey Splattercat, big fan of your content. I have owned this game for a long time and finally decided to play it from your stream. However, I am having a issue. I am a streamer and wanted to stream the game, but I can't get any setup working. It's the only game where I have extreme encoder issues as I have a beefy rig. How are you able to record this since I can't get this to work on lowest both on the game and on recording settings!?

thanks

Something I'd like to see, although I can see it being somewhat resource intensive, would a portrait popping up in the top right corner with a more detailed view of what you're shooting it. The high view kinda depersonalizes everything into a somewhat dry, although intense, tactical experience. I wanna see the rage of demons, the overwhelming and the desperation of the grunts.

Looks like a slower paced Synthetik. Which I regard as the best top down shooter themed roguelike of all time. Might have to get this.

The mines suck. Go there only if you have no other choice.

Can you kill everything on the map, or do enemies just keep respawning? And is there some background timer that forces you to push on, and will kill you if you loiter for too long, or can you advance methodically, taking your time? Asking because these are two deal breakers for me in games like this.

The game does not have respawns--although there's one singular exception. The game is turn based, so you have all the time in the world to hang out on a particular level. However, there are level mods with event timers. There are countdowns to these events and things can get...exciting...when they kick off. The game is very highly tuned and when you die it will be because you've made a mistake or a succession of mistakes. The game is far deeper than it appears and there are a lot of mechanics that aren't readily apparent. You really need to think about what you're doing and the learning curve is quite steep.

It's a cool game, very polished. I think you can tell it's an iteration on a previous game as it's very streamlined but has a lot of cool stuff - it's a nice mix of strategic (what sort of build you're going for) and tactical - the individual combat decisions. You can get a lot of info on the enemies and are often trying to carry a balanced mix of ranged, anti-robot and raw power and most things you can make work.

I would say that one reason its not as well known, is because there is no real sense of progression. the runs are one and dones. I have been playing since your previous mention of the title way back. I really enjoyed it. but then I realized thats it. other then changing how I want to play or what levels I want to spend on my character there is nothing else to the game. try for a melee build, a pistol build or try something else. other then that its like what is the point? I have had a successful run and completed the game. just it gave me no real drive to come back to it.

That's how most classical roguelikes are, no metaprogression. The game is fun so you don't need a metagame, and there's tons of replayability due to the variety of classes, builds and dungeon branches.

Game is ok. The problem for me is with the graphics, I don't understand why you can't turn off the hud's rounding option. Additionally, the graphics are incredibly bad for my eyes. It's not visible in the recording, but there is some strange filter in the game that is supposed to imitate 90's monitors/TVs. I can't play for longer than 30 minutes because my eyes go crazy.
