i think its pretty disappointing compared to LN2

also feels like they're really embracing the coop meme and voice acting is a minus too

i hope the parts after the beginning are gonna be more interesting

Pleasantly surprised by this, it feels deliberately reminiscient of old MS DOS action platformers, including the visual effects and the music/sounds. Love the vibe and atmosphere.

Gameplay is fairly solid, typical run & gun but features a customizable weapon. Seems to have an in-engine remake of the first game too which is pretty bold.

Huge step up from the first game (which I own too but dropped like 10 mins in)

The fact that MC is a maid makes absolutely no fucking sense in context. It's just off-putting.
The game itself is garbage: you attack, you shoot, you have your stamina bar, your mp bar, dodge, block, and yes, you guessed that right, a parry!
Environments are barren, the enemies are retarded, the music loops badly. Oh, you gain souls to level up.

I used to enjoy hunting for demos during these events. I still do. But now my favorite part of the steam next fest is lurking on r/indie or r/gamedev and seeing the tears of devs who cry about their lack of success. It's particularly satisfying when you get to look at their stuff, usually low effort slop. And they wonder why their games didn't get any attention. Can't wait for next week to see the tears

the point of putting a maid in an action game is precisely the gap mow, that is attractive to me, otherwise, I'm sad to hear the game is bad, though I haven't tried it for myself, I'd be willing to support the dev regardless if they plan to do more and better in the future

Literally go start a group focused on tagging every game that uses AI assets. If steam sees enough people using a tag then they make a new category for it. They did that with 'DWARF' after the DRG and dwarf fortress community started tagging the dozens of dwarf games with it.

The tag needs to be specific and not a meme or it will fail. Trying to tag them as "Slop" will catch false positives it needs to specific to AI generated assets to avoid snaring concepts like rogue AIs in the game's setting such as Glados.

Let's see how many of these are actual beat 'em ups.
>>
So Lady Dracula is all style, no substance. The soundtrack is ok but song loops are very short and are mostly just background beats. There is no reason to use your (one) subweapon at all and the level design is complete garbage with a massive over-use of the temporary bat / ghost forms. Oh, and the demo has a tendency to fully crash when you die, so that's fun. The "flip the world" feature isn't even real, it is just that stage 1 is normal and stage 2 is just stage 1 but flipped, you have no control over it at all. Demo is over in two stages.

100% avoid. This is not a classicvania experience at all.
>>
>>723180520
I just checked and there's like 3, lmao. Also I'm pretty sure they're roguelites. True arcade level based beat em ups? Probably zero.

All these games aside from 4 look fucking terrible. ..dont any of these devs sit back, look at what their making and realise it just looks like pixelated garbage?

Dont they ask for opinions from anyone outside of their own echo chamber or ask for feedback? Some of these people have been working 5+ years on some of these games and they look no better than a shitty nes title.

If these devs maybe got together instead of working on 1 bad looking game could they work together to make 1 decent game??

We've had some incredible indie titles before from indie devs. This lot of games just seems dire in comparison.

The few that do look good appear mid at best. No actual bangers like Rouge Flight or that Tenchu type game from afew years back (cant remember the name)

Is there a patch for the demo or something? I just tried out the demo for this and it was really underwhelming. There were no events. Very barebones, even for these type of games.

>>723184579
I dunno why it doesn't. Maybe it's blocked where you live? Here's a link to the store page instead of the demo page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2119830/MISERY/

>>723183725
your standards are a bit too strict but a good 90% of the demos shouldn't even be allowed on steam because of how low quality they are

It has autofire and autoaim options but yeah basically you gotta turn them on and it seemed to be missing the sorts of options that allow you to customize your weapon that would make the system interesting. The most interesting thing I saw was +projectiles. Everything else was +x% damage or +y% attackspeed or shit like that. Also has a mana pool but I have no clue what function it has.

Games with obvious cuestionable cunny elements have a secret patch so Steam doesn't mary them
Generally, the publisher always hold them on their website, like this one you mentioned:

I'd rather 3 incredible/decent games come out in 1 year than have 100 shit looking games come out and look as if they've been done on the cheap

These devs will have insane ideas that these shit looking titles will sell in the millions and that they'll retire from it.
They wont! Theyll end up like "The portal dimension" forgotten and unloved.
Shit like carrion only sold because the dev was smart enough to pay steam for front page advertising which tricked people into buying it

>>723185084
>several games from previous next fests that I enjoyed have come out.
Skill issue.
>>
>>723185006
Yeah, I know there's patches that add h-content. I was just wondering if the patch also added more content, kind of like Black Souls only has like 10 screens worth of game without the patch.

>>723178935
>Pretty sure the "game cannot be part of multiple Next Fests" rule only applies to specific versions of a demo meaning you can't have the exact same demo twice
that is fucking stupid if that's the case

there's already way too fucking many demos in there we don't need a bunch of them showing up in multiple fests

I don't know what the fuck these devs are smoking. It's like they are doing everything in their power to make people not want to try their game. Really left dissatisfied by the experience. I'm surprised to see a Japanese platformer being this archaic, I'm sure you will agree.

Well bro im playing it and i like it, its releasing in 3 weeks so its really polished and the demo is long. as for the game is like gothic/kingdome/witcher 3, you play as slav version of a middle game cartographer, the game is open world rpg like witcher 3 / kingdom come. its running on dlss 3.5 so in order for the game graphics to look ok you replace it with dlss 4 and force DLAA from the profile inspector you'll game probably get over above 80 fps fps on any decent hardware
