Funny you should mention Has-Been Heroes, as I thought of it for not only being a unique blend of different genres but needing some time to really click. Looks like One Step From Eden too might achieve making things kinda flow once you're familiar enough with the different mechanics of the game, which is what makes Has-Been Heroes absolutely brilliant!

Very awesome game and friendly guys! I was able to demo it at Magfest 2020 and even though I was completely wasted, it was fun playing and talking to everyone there! Already a day one buy and I've put in 5 hours already.

this looks like a fresh blend of mechanics will put it on the wishlist. To be honest I have enough on my game plate right now ;)

General notes: -The base weapon for every character isn't necessarily offensive. Saffron's Chrono starter deck gives you a time-slowing ability that deals zero damage, for example. -Donating blood grants lessened gains in Sera(money) so as to deter abusing the mechanic. -You can choose not to take a reward and gain small amounts of money(for artifacts) or XP(cards).

Good review

Played every Battle Network game but 4 and 6 back in the day, and now for lack of a working GBA I've really gotta scratch that itch. This looks like it will do the job nicely! Still waiting on that Battle Network Legacy Collection though, Capcom!

I've bought this game for steam and I think it is a very fun game. The only issue is the speed. Megaman Battle network was fast (specially when you get to the secret bosses) but you would stop the screen to adjust your strategy and build your combos. In this game you have potential to make good combos but with so much thought going in avoiding damage and moving around it can be overwhelming. Also I rather just play aoe spell and DOT spells rather than build a combo as there are good chances of missing due to the speed of the game. I still haven't beaten the game but I can manage to make it to the last map. If they could manage to make the enemies a bit slower I think it will make a much better game.

i hope this gets a part 2 or a LARGE update , dlc... such a challenging but good game

What would you suggest? You can talk to the devs directly on Discord. I'm writing suggestions and he can work on it if he thinks it'll help the game in a significant manner. At the same time, lore-based things would probably require a bigger time requirement for writing and implementing. I love story content so I know what you mean.

@@DLinton It's hard to suggest as I haven't played the game myself, but based on the review from SwitchUp it's a very generic apocalypse story. You don't need to implement a whole lot of lore to make the story interesting, but by giving the story a bit of a twist (e.g. Mutant Year Zero did this well, very generic story but still interesting to experience because of some twists) Hope this helps!

@DaiPai1777

4 жыл бұрын

not really, most players starting the game off are going to equally have a rough time simply because like most rougelikes, there's enemy patterns and mechanics that the player has to learn. a great example being in this video at 8:02 he thinks the green panels appear on his side during the boss battle are attacks, so he keeps dodging them. this feeds into thinking the game is unfair because afterwards she shoots a pretty much undodgable attack that deals a huge amount of damage. however once you learn that her boss battle is actually tied to the music and she wants you to follow the beat by stepping on the green tiles which give you enough shield to block her attack she does after, its 1000x more enjoyable of a fight. of course not every single aspect can be given in the same example, and there are certainly parts that need a bit of a balance adjustment for a wider audience. but just because a game doesn't have a pickup and play kind of vibe to it doesn't mean its straight up unfair. for example there's way more defensive characters like reva who have a good amount of hp and her playstyle revolves around sheilding so its really hard to die on her making the game much more forgiving. and there's also the shop where you can buy pacts to give yourself more max hp so the whole "gives you to little health" argument doesn't really hit as hard. TD;LR: There's a method to the madness and if you think it's just another unfair game it means you either haven't really stuck with it long enough to understand the game which makes it significantly easier in its own right or you're just simply not someone who has the reaction time to handle such a game as this and adding an easy mode wouldn't really fix that if its just simply reducing damage taken or adding more hp to you and less hp to enemies. only thing I can think of is making them attack slower but there are cards in the game for that already.
