>>722826193this game is so fucking ugly
>>722826286IMO the actual technical part of it looks great, it's just that the designs are really woke
>>722826365How are they woke?
>>722826660The Mother is a giant pregnant black woman, Galandra is incredibly androgynous (it's a woman), Cider uses they pronouns.I would also assume that one of either Karl or Brome are gay, but that's just conjecture on my part.
>>722826803Yes but there's a frog wizard
>>722826903Yeah Brome is gonna be my main. I fucking love frogs.
it's out on steam>>722826949you put subject in the wrong field retard
>>722828802Whoops I'm retarded; at least it still shows up when searching the catalog
Confirmed shit
>>722826286i think it looks fine. My only problem is that the only character i find cool visually is the blue lady. Which is a shame since the assassin was way more fun to play as. Hopefully the mage dude will be interesting enough for me to overcome my racism against him. The only other thing that bothers me are the emotes. They could have put animations or even voicelines for that. >>722826803i saw her use "us" and genuinely thought it was like a venom situation. Like she had a spirit in her mask or something
>>722828981i turned my nose at seeing it was a roguelike but i came around to it. I need to see for myself if it really sucks that much. I cant say if it would have been better if it was like the mystara games but i am very fucking glad its not like dragon crown were i needed to swap loadouts all the time
>>722828994From what I understand of Cider's lore they were shattered and then rebuilt. So it's possible it's multiple people.
The demo for this was great in spite of the awful woke story. The gameplay was actually fun.
>>722828981>>722829074read the review, he played in coop and they were so bad at the game his bro dipped without getting to the endingother ones are much better
>>722828981d-d-doomervros?
>>722826660When you open the demo there was a message about how they got funding from an EU fund for woke shit. So they admit it themselves in the game. I'm not even memeing or anything.
I played the demo and the story came across as >Magic exists>Wizards abuse magic>Everyone suffers>Non-Wizards discover countermeasures against magic>Wizards are imprisoned and highly regulated to prevent magic abuse>This is bad because ???
>>722829383Yes the story is cringe and retarded but I think its actually fun gameplay wise. Will probably just skip cut scenes desu.
>caring about story in a beat em up>caring about story in a roguelikehades thread is that way
It would have been better without the rogue like crap imo.
>>722829383i'm impressed someone even paid attention to the story. All i got from it was, there is this sun god, i need to kick his ass.>>722829442This anon gets it.
>>722829538It brings back memories of Dragon Age 2Unpleasant memories
>>722829315>>722829339Nuh uh not so fast cocksuckersAbsolum? More like Absolute Shit lmao

More problematic are the plentiful glitches. Some issues have been patched out, but others remain for us at the time of writing. There’s routes that can malfunction and prevent you from progressing further, forcing a restart, and there’s certain abilities and buffs that don’t seem to work at all, the game assuring you that you’ve been boosted despite the fact you most certainly haven’t. The AI of allies you can gather on each run leaves something to be desired too. A super powerful barbarian you can hire for a vast sum of gold is mostly useless and spends a lot of her time frozen, furiously not attacking but still looking badass whilst doing so. Meanwhile, other allies will steal your mount, only to not do anything whilst sat upon the creature and, like a toddler on a swing, refusing to get off and let anyone else have a go. Also, the health of your allies inexplicably goes up and down from screen to screen, as if the game can’t remember how many health points they have remaining. That’s problematic in the latter stages when allies are crucial to your success, but suddenly die despite having a full health bar. Most irksome indeed.It’s a shame that there are such issues. The game is still an absolute joy to play, but the roguelite structure limits longterm enjoyment, and a patch is wanted to polish out unintended issues.
I like the visuals but Ill need to see how much enemy/boss variety there is
Any 4chan approved reviews?
>>722830595>I WANT TO STICK MY DICK IN THE DUSKY ELF-Anon
>>722830595i'll write you one once i 100% the game
>>722826193Frog wizard looks cool, everything is kinda meh.I'll wait for a sale on this one
>hey finally a cool sorcerer dude with a big sword!>it's a w*man
>>722826803Why are devs today so obsessed with subversion and commentary? Why not just make soulful visuals? Why does it SPECIFICALLY have to be lame?
>>722826803You're telling me this is a female?
>>722831338out of all the things to complain, you complain about that. I know youre a huge dick slurping faggot but no need to go out announcing to everybody.
>>722831542No, this is a completely legit thing to complain about. I'm tired of lame subversions.
>>722832237i dont give a rats ass about what youre tired of. Read my first sentence. In the queue of complaints this is one on the back of the line.
>>722832332You give enough shit to reply, emasculated pussy.
>>722832419When a baboon misrepresents my post i do that, unfortunately. You can reply now if you want the last word.
give me it hard, fast and straight Blast-havers…am I going to have a blast with this one?
What happens if you beat the boss in the tutorial?
>>722831498>we made drizzt female because we need to deconstruct the evil patriarchal drow society>we gave her a big sword because that's more masculine>we made her non-sexualized because fuck you chuds!
>>722831498are you subverted yet?
Is this woke dragon's Crown
>>722832725>we want to do something different!>do exactly the same shit every other studio makes nowadaysPeople saw a small snippet of not-Alucard in the latest fire emblem trailer and went apeshit over him because that's how rare this archetype played straight has become
>fantasy setting with dwarves and goblins>"LEEF ME ALON. I JUS WAN TO BE LEF ALON."
i didnt expect the frog guy to sound like that>>722833076this is woke but doesnt really play like dragons crown. The classes there generally are more diverse with the moveset, here it seems that they are more homogenous.
>>722833678>the pozzed lefty game is less diverse
oh nonono
>>722833076It's fantasy rogue like SoR4
>female warrior, non-sexualized
>>722830154>"As an American, no matter what I do, I Will Borger."Absolute aptronym.
Too much bullshit that i don't care about, why do they think anyone wants to hear talking and stupid story sections in their bmup? hopefully they add a arcade mode eventually
>>722833678The DC classes do feel more unique but if this the same as SOR4, I imagine the actual combos/movesets are deeper. Not to mention there isn't actually that many unique stages in DC unfortunately, and the A/B paths isn't that much different since the B path is only access partway in
>>722833816streets of rage 4 had 6438 players so that's pretty bad
>>722834094i only opened this thread cause it looked like the game may have a cool storyif this was a generic shmup without rpg/story i wouldnt be interested
>>722834171yeah i think so too. Thankfully i didnt expect a wild variety of playstyles like DC so i wasnt set up for disappointment. To tell you the truth i think a full run of DCs stages might be longer than one in absolum. I got to the frog area which seems like halfway through the whole ordeal in about 30 minutes or so. Maybe im misremembering but a full round of DCs stages was like 1 hour and a half for me.
Games kinda shit, mediocre rogue like mechanics with SoR4s lame comboslop gameplay, also the final boss requires you to buy a expensive item or it instant kills you lol
>>722834094im just skipping shit so far.
>>722834438>SoR4s lamestopped reading right there
>>722834438>, also the final boss requires you to buy a expensive item or it instant kills you loltrue?
>>722834691Unless he is a reviewer I don't know how he would already be at that stage.
>>722834691
>>722834864huh. Theres a permanent upgrade that gives you respawn with 25% life. I really dont want to grab that shit so at least theres an item for me. Still unfortunate
>>722834210SoR is an established franchise, not sure how much that affects it vs a completely new IP
Why do these devs love to put in shitty superarmoured enemies?
>>722826193How long is one run?
>>722835170>SoR is an established franchisenigger, streets of rage 3 came out in 1994, no one cares about the "franchise"
>>722835323retard
>>722835323you really are a stupid bastard arent you
>>722833140>do exactly the same shit every other studio makes nowadaysEvery other studio is making beat 'em ups based on 80s and 90s franchises like He-Man, TMNT and so on. This is unique.
>>722835814i actually thought the he-man one was a joke. It actually exists and i think looks neat, so thanks for that i guess.
What I wanna know is about the difficulty selection. Do they have a mania+ equivalent?
>>722826803I groaned when reaching this point in the demo
>>722826803Why the monkey face? Why are they so racist>>722831498Give me a week. I'll sexualize her.
>>722836082so far there doesnt even seem to be one. I assume they are going to do like most roguelites and once you beat a run you can adjust the difficulty somewhat. If you want something like SOR4 at higher difficulties i cant say for sure.
>>722836137damn, you litcherally groaned, huh.
>>722832725>evil patriarchal drow societyFunny you say that considering drow society in the drizzt lore is very matriarchal
>>722836191Damn that sucks. Unless they pull a Hades and have different heat/fear options, that would be cool.
>>722826803She looks like an actual monkey.
Rogueshite
>>722838517Yeah that was the first red flag, the faggot ass character designs and story just kills it outright. Can't trust any westoid dev or publisher anymore, regardless if they're AAA or indie.
>>722839958whats up with the story
