>/v/ was rightWhat a fucking game man...
you have shilled this game in four threads so far, all of them nearly identical.You can stop now, dev-kun.
>>729281425This may shock you but there's a reason so many anons shill this game.
>>729281732And that is?
STOPTALKINGABOUTVIDEO GAMES GRRRRRRRRRRRRRHaha just kidding merry christmas beautiful game great thread anon all be best to you and your family as well as everyone else reading this bless you all
>>729281798It's actually good. But looking at it you wouldn't really think that because the graphics put people off. It's our duty to help other anons experience it.
>>729281910Based yuletide cheer spreader
>>729281986Can't really tell what's going on a small screen but I will try the demo
finished this game on easy, do you think i should try the highest diff
>>729281986looks like garbage
>>729283186ok little bro, go have fun it's christmas LOL
>>729282778Yes obviously
Buying the dlc in this sale. Just want another gaming cocaine fix which is this games freeze frame on impact.
>>729281242if you're not astroturfing then post a link to ddl the game
>>729281242Glad you liked it anon. I played through it myself earlier this year and enjoyed it too. My only real complaint was balance in the post game. Stats just get too fat.
>>729283492The term you're looking for is hitstop
>>729281425you spend your days being miserable on 4chanthat's funny to me lol
> It's that same thread with the same wording again.That one desperate "I used to be in a famous dev team serving coffee and blowjobs you know" who made this is really getting desperate. I mean he could at least have used original assets. This game is, literally, an asset flip. Which have ironically been used in better games than some weirdly overpriced platformer with 3 frame attack animations.The absolute state of this place.
The game gets worse the more you play it. By the end, I was just relieved it was finally over.
>>729284923Yeah I got bored after finishing Elysium. Game drags on too long with too much filler
>>729281242Astlibra one of my fav games, playing this rn its not as good but it has satisfying combat progression and the cheevos are fun to go for
Should I shill Nameless: Slay the Dragon? Its a shorter but good kind of game.
The way shitposters cope by actually thinking a Nip would post here and not on Futaba instead is funnyNo faggot supreme, people actually like games and want to talk about them on /v/ contrary to your imposed mental illness
>>729281242Are there any romance elements?
I think a lot of you would like this https://store.steampowered.com/app/240660/Rain_Blood_Chronicles_Mirage/Chinese 2D Devil May Cry. Sometime this year it's base price was changed to a dollar for some reason.
>>729285353The whole game is about MC trying to get his childhood love back
>>729285384>it's about NTR
>>729285526No NTR, his vllage gets attacked and he protects her from a big dragon demon but falls unconscious after and ends up with a talking bird in the middle of nowhere.
>>729285381>This item is currently unavailable in your regionDanke Merkel!>>729285613You're talking to a mentally ill loser who needs to farm (You)s daily to keep him from acking himself.
>>729285702I figured, sadly
>"people" actually think astlibra is still being shilled>on /v/this game has been getting regular threads for over 3 years you fucking retards
what's next
When it is outside the 'shill window' of release, /v/ can be taken at face value. The exception is fromsoft which trannies have taken it into their head is the competition for whatever garbage they need to shill and spamming against it somehow benefits them in some way.Past /v/ gems:Sengoku RanceAlchemy MasterBlack SoulsStranger of ParadiseVoid StrangerEnchant Farm
>>729285613Tags: NTR, Beastiality, Dragon, Mind Break, All-the-way-through, Anal, Corruption, Maid
>>729282431The demo's a pretty bad way to sell the game to new players IMO, though honestly the game up until chapter 2 is kinda slow as well.
>>729285613>No NTRI mean the MC does have a nightmare of Kai cucking him lol. No idea why that scene is even in the game considering both of their personalities especially since Kai literally waits 2000 years for his future gf.
this gave is just too fucking good it's not even funny
>Shiro will never fart in your face
>>729283492MH world great sword
>>729285348cope and YWNBAW trannynobody here likes this faggot tranime asset flip
I stopped at the demon island chapter 5 I think (start of 2025, stopped due to games releasing), and it would be really hard to just jump back in. Regret not pulling thru. I enjoyed the game until then, esp the music. The backtracking does get overwhelming sometimes and the chapter before the demon island was kinda wack cause of this (the village with the church). Might continue this file one day, but restarting would be awful
My only issue with the game is that Kuro is vastly superior to Anulis
Been a while since I last saw a wobble, wobble thread.Merry Christmas anons!
>>729289306>Kuro's so insanely better than all the other girls you have to wonder why the MC is so autistically obsessed with Anulis.
>>729281986>the graphics put people offPeople who are put off by the graphics are usually retarded "3D is always better than 2D" boomers, so good riddance.
>>729281242review blease
>>729285613>No NTRIf you ignore the part about Anulis being whored out in the flashback to the future.
literal GOTYAY
>>729289306True, however Astraea is best girl. I used the hell out of both her summons in the endgame
>>729289727I liked the game but it's pretty damn ugly.>>729290037Didn't she get stabbed before actually getting whored out?
>>729281242Post gameplay
>>729290251End game magic in this really scratched an itch I didn't know I had.
>>729281732It can't be better than E33, sorry. Cope.
This game was one of the ones that reminded me why I come back to this board again and again after so long. A game that would've never been on my radar otherwise, but a super fun and really quite beautiful game. That story, that gameplay, that OST.
>>729291331It's a different genre to begin with. One is a side scrolling action RPG and the other is a turn based four niggas in a row with paper mario elements.
I completed it two months ago and enjoyed it as well, ass end dragged a bit for me because of the bait and switch but it was a great experience overall. Really scratched an itch I had for a side-scroller too.>>729291376Yeah exactly. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise either. Another game I enjoyed from here recently was Path of the Abyss but thats a blobber.
>>729291331I shill both games for free. Why? They're both excellent. Eat my ass, 'Jeetus.
>>729291331E33 is for shitskins and trannies aka people who hate vidya so no
>>729281986I've played it and it's shit. If you're gonna play the for plot read a book or at least a VN
>>729289306Anulis is such a low bar, whose only claim to the protag is giving him oneitis from being the first person who was nice to him.
>>729290832>but it's pretty damn uglyIt's really not though
It's been nearly 3 years since i've played Astlibra but i still think about that game a lot. It's insane for a single man dev team to create something this well balanced and fun to play.
>>729291331>It can't be better than E33Astlibra is the sort of game that revels in traditional JRPG tropes and traditions, but that's part of the reason it's so well-beloved. The drive and determination of pure, undiluted human will is put on full display whenever you hear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiRV9IYYdDMAlso the OP is kino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU6s41YQSus
>>729293158I just can't stand silent protagonists in story heavy games, sorry. The game is about the pet raven talking with everyone while the MC just stands there like a retard. I can't take this shit seriously.
>>729291331You don't get money for baitposting here shitskin, go back to X
>>729293258Honestly, the MC being such a massive personality vacuum does suck. He's basically just a vehicle for the player more than anything else, but you're still expected to care about his tragic backstory despite that. Neither the DLC nor the main game fix that, but it is kind of funny knowing the other silent protagonist is just running around being an OP piece of shit, but you only really ever get to interact with her briefly if you go out of your way to help her in a very specific part of the game. Even then, they say literally nothing to each other.
>>729289306>>729289713I like Shiro better
>>729293475But that's clearly Sheero
>>729293258>>729293461silent protagonists are better because if they werent they will spew bullshit at some point in the story and it will break any sympathy you have with him
>>729293475>curse is she can't age>uses a magic ring that gives her an adult body that's less stacked than her regular body>that's also basically the same age as her regular body to bootShiro is such a fucking based retard.
>>729281242It looks shit.
Dropped it after seeing the modern world. Would have dropped it earlier, bit thought it would actually get better, because it was shilled here so much.It's a 14-year-olds anime plot with uninteresting gameplay and grinding.I survived the captcha just to post this.
>>729281425Kys retarded tendiejeet spamming the same fire emblem agp threads and spamming pokemon shit
>>72929365790 rupees you just skipped all the dialogue
>>729293657>modern world>he doesn't know
Am I stupid or what was the deal with the intro cave?
>>729294009it was so peak is what it was
>>729293158The only gripe I have with the OP is that it never changes visuals which I assumed it would at some point considering it plays EVERY SINGLE FUCKING CHAPTER>>729293258It has probably something to do with the fact that you're a gay retarded fucking nigger
>>729294256>take this shit seriously.pseud
>>729293657>modern worldkek
>>729294339whoops meant for >>729293258
>>729284740>used in better gamesWhat games?
>>729294256It does change
Astlibra has been in my wishlist for like a year hoping for a better discount, but it looks like the price won't go any lower than this.
>>729295263pirate it theni did, 100% the game then bought itfirst time ive ever done something like that btw
>>729281242Stop making this thread
>>729296129I will now buy the game

>>729292667It is hideous moron.
babby's first doujin game
>>729290037dropped
>>729297363He was wrong
>>729297265this is factually incorrect
>>729297402picked back up
>>729296975You think the game ends but it keeps going somehowThen it ends and you're certain it can't get any more absurd, you're only just past halfway done
>>7292969752D sidescroller grindan adventure with unhinged shonen anime time travel story and lovable characters
I wish I could buy it but I got spoiled about the modern world and AI stuff so I don't know if it's worth it.
>>729297496is it kinda like elsword?
>>729297592In the grand scheme of things that's not even really the good spoilers, that's just one part of the package.Pirate it anyway, its worth a play.
>>729297430 no it's objectively hideous, including the ratio of character to screen.
>>729297592now I got spoiled too
>>729297592It's still worth the ride, pirate it if you're unsure
>>729296975Spiritual successor to YS III, made by a Japanese salaryman over a span of more than 10 years.The game's story goes absolutely bonkers full retard anime after chapter 4, but in a good way. It starts out a little slow.Constant gameplay features and updates with tons of playstyles and choices, even 60 hours into the game. Not that most retards here would know or engage with them.Just pirate it, go in with the right expectations and enjoy the ride! Engage with its mechanics and playstyles. I knew this game was a banger when the very first theme played as soon as you were allowed to control the game. Most of you don’t even realize how insane of a choice this is for your typical "jrpg-forest-slime-and-plant-filled" area.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZsH80oJD_s
>>729297592>>729297669yeah mc's waifu is a just a rogue AI creating all the monsters, though you can make her human in NG+
>>729297695why not buy it?
>>729297487Halloween winter rap music is the most kino choice of that area let's be honest.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO6Hcsq3nRs
>>729297592That shit happens like 1/4th into the gameIt's not a big deal at all
>>729297748>NG+Intrasding
>>729297750too low effort to spend money on IMO, but you do you
I've been reading this thread looking for someone to sell me on it because the trailer makes it look fucking awful.
>>729297796>1/4th into the gameHow? It sounds like stuff that would happen at the end of a game.
>>729297813>>729297695describes it pretty well. But yeah it looks like fucking ass. The dude basically made the game out of royalty free assets.
>google Anulis>see Black Souls memesI never played Black Souls but from what I know of it... I'm scared
>>729297813It has a demo for a reason, unfortunately its for the slowest chapter of the game and also a wildly out of place boss fight near endgame where you have no idea whats going on.>>729297849You have no idea man lmao
>>729297750You can buy it after if you like it
>>729297849you have no idea dudegame just keeps going
>>729297813That one song in Black Souls II is also in this game.
>>729297750Would you buy ugly trash that goes "full retard"
>>729297667I literally have no idea what you're talking about.It looks fine.
>>729297865Going to Anulis just fits
>>729297896Yeah and I dont regret it at all.I thought it was pretty fucking ugly too at first but it really grows on you. Eventually came around to preferring it over a lot of really mediocre indie styles that are everywhere.
>>729297906Every time someone post a screenshot it's worse looking.fine doesn't mean dog shit.
>>729297798It's not actually NG+, but a postgame scenario that introduces yet another customization system via random loot equipment, and a roguelite dungeon.
>>729297801>>729297872I boughted, I felt like wasting money
>>729297856>>729297868>>729297886Okay. Why not? Bought it with the bundle that includes The Nameless: Slay Dragon as well because why not. I'll give it a shot.
the DLC is pointless, right?
>>729297896Yes.>>729298001Honestly I couldn't believe it had that shit once I got to that point, I thought at that point surely the new systems would end.
>>729296239
I really don't get it, just pirate the game and if you like it pay for it. >>729297813Genuinely don't worry about the appearance, the gameplay feel once you start throwing down with bosses will make you appreciate the fact the dev made most of the backgrounds like MySpace website backgrounds.
>>729297906I do think that it looks like fucking ass at time. The town is probably one of the prettier parts. Every time you're fighting shit on some map with tons of ground it's especially bad. The tiling for the ground and shit is fucking horrible. But it's still my absolute 2023 GOTY despite that.
>>729297801nta but that's why I haven't bought it yet, the price just makes no sense. Other than Shigatake's sprites, everything else is just reused assets. How can it be worth $15 (or $20 with the DLC) when even AAA games go as low as $1 during sales?
>>729298061I liked it, Baker's Daughter a cute. A Cute!!!
does a CRT filter improve it?
>>729297618It does play a bit like that but with triple jumps and airdashes and stiuff. Game loop is mostly farming monster materials for equipment then using that equipment to master it and unlock abilities. And there are like 3 other progression systems, it really sells the shonen fantasy of starting as a shitter who dies to slimes and slowly growing into a godslayer
>>729298001>a postgame scenarioA post-game scenario that's virtually the same length as the base game. The DLC is also pretty good too if you like the end-game final dungeon and the combat of the game. Though getting to play as the baker's sexiest daughter who's equally as autistic as the original MC is very funny, especially since you can dress her up as Shiro or Kuro. Shame you can't put her in that one outfit Kuro had in the base game though.
>>729281425
Rain
>>729298171You'd only degrade the quality of the game's assets.
>>729298189>2008
>>729298189>noooo don't call out the obvious shills they pay us several pennies for protection
>>729298021>>729298168Cringe Faggot.
>>729298061Unless you want cheevos it's not super involved for the story, it's about as grindy as the main game for unlocking new spells and stuff, but there are some cool moments there I'd say it's worth it if you really enjoyed the game and just want more of it. But if you want more story it's not a big deal you can skip it.
>>729298061Sort of, depends on how much you liked the weird random dungeon at the end of the main game. Don't buy it if you haven't already beat the main game because its pointless if you haven't.The combat is slightly more magic-focused, iframe abuse with it and using it to wipe screens.
>>729298291>.t hag outside the bakery
ill be playan this then to justify my rash purchase
>>729281242Any mod that makes weapons and items drop from one kill instead of the weird drop system this shit has?Whenever I play it I just get bored because I'm killing the same mob over and over again, and I dont want to keep going since I might miss some important equipment.Or does anyone know if there are irreversible chapter points or actual missables?
Well I have one plugged in, but is this true?
>>729298061Gameplay is like the randomly generated screens from the late/post-game dungeon but with non-generic bossfights, story is fun and gives Astraea a better ending. It's worse than the main game but worth playing through, about at the point where I started getting tired of the random generated stuff it ended so it was just about the right length. Baker's Daughter stuff was actually made before the main game or before the second chapter of it iirc to test out combat.
>>729297667wrong again
>>729296354you wouldnt get it
>>729298504The only missable is taking Sheero with you in the castle chapter. You're supposed to do the counter-intuitive thing and leave her behind.
>>729298146AAA games aren't worth $1. Astlibra is worth full $60 easily.
>>729298508I did keyboard for the first couple chapters then got settled in with a controller once I started hitting my shitty keyboard ghosting while trying to do iframe shennanigans. ymmv
>>729298504>irreversible chapter points or actual missablesChapter 5 Sheero choice. The only one where you actually need to split your save to not fuck up.Everything else you can chapter hop with the scales in your bedroom and farm whatever whenever between chapters.
Which one?
>>729298691>Chapter 5 Sheero choice. The only one where you actually need to split your save to not fuck up.What do you mean?
>>729298732Hell is what I did, I didn't have to grind
>>729298732Normal. Difficult and higher are only worth it if you care about achievements.
>>729298278>shillslmao it's actually a funny image to think about 'cause KEIZO is like a 50-60 year old japanese boomer who spends his online time posting about washing his car, laying down a new floor, games he's playing and meme videos often with hot chinese models.
>>729298732I played on Difficult and it felt challenging even when crafting all items in each chapter, but not bullshitAlso, you need to play on Difficult or above (without ever changing down) to get the only missable cheevo in the game
>>729298824>>729298774Getting mixed signals and it's just 2 replies
>>729298732In Impossible you die in one hit and because of that you'll just use berserk skill(deal 4x dmg/one hp) throughout the entire game.Play on Hell for actual experience.
>>729298840so hell doesn't unlock any achievements?>>729298881What does abundant force, exp and gld mean?
>>729298732I played on Normal and enjoyed it and still died a few times when entering a new higher level area and some bosses.I'm going to replay it on Difficult next time I start it up.
>>729298732I started on Hell because there's an achievement tied to that difficulty. I didn't find it overly hard though I also enjoyed maxing out every weapon (the way you get new skills) so that probably helped.
STOP RUMBLING, THIS IS NOT A DILDO
>>729298881>berserk skillWhen do you unlock that? Sounds like it would make the game more enjoyable.
>>729298504Pls tell me you use the luck stat. It significantly reduces any grind! Try at least hitting the soft cap.>but than i can't kill anythingSounds like a fucking skill issue.
>>729298735Halfway through chapter 5 you and Sheero enter the castle, you're given a choice to take her with you or leave her behind in the hell castle full of monsters.Take her with you:You reach a boss midway and she gets fucking destroyed, she's killed off and the story changes. You eventually use the scales to bring her back later but it changes the dialogue heavily for the next chapters and it locks you out of using her as an ally for a short period.Leave her behind:She's fine and just waits at the start of the stage, however before you finish the castle you have to go back and get her again otherwise you leave her trapped in that timeline, resulting in her pseudo-death as her existence is overwritten, turning into a similar fate as above.Doing things in the correct order:She gets brainblasted at the final fight, you get to fight a secret boss which is her marionette form >>729293475 , save her, and then continue on as normal.
>>729298937The difficulty cheevo is for on Difficult or above, so you didn't need to play on Hell
>>729298904You get more money and stat board unlock points on higher difficulties which can cut down on grind if you want to max out the board and buy lots of stuff
>>729298967I was literally running around with max luck whenever I got that weapon that like 5x damage but you become one shot.And even then I just got tired of it.
>>729298983Yeah you're right. Mb. I just looked it up on Steam. I 100%'d the game last year when I played it. Must've done Difficult for the base game and Hell for the DLC.
>>729298904>What does abundant force, exp and gld mean?you just get a lot of resources>>729298956I forgot when you unlock it exactly, maybe chapter 4 or 5?
>>729298732You get an EXP and Drop bonus for higher difficulties. Theres a single achievement for playing on Difficult.The game is unironically easier on difficult as you spend less time grinding, while retards playing on easy mode will be farming the same dogshit monster 400% more than you after accounting for Luck bonusesAnything beyond "Difficult" is excessive. Also makes chapter 1 and 2 a chore because the basic ass slimes are too tanky.
I choose Hell btw
>>729298904Force is used to unlock permanent stat boosts, spells and weapons on a ginormous 'skill tree', gained mainly by killing monstersExp is tied to levels which grant stat points that can be freely allocatedGold is used to buy consumables and equipment from shops, but equipment usually also needs crafting mats dropped from monsters
>>729298967>luck stat. It significantly reduces any grindIs that true? A guy who reviewed the game on YouTube said that it barely helps. After playing Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow I don't trust the Luck stat.
>>729298061It's mostly just more grindan. A bit easier too, since you keep most progress on death and because magic OP
>Looking for your childhood friendPerfect game for CFmas
>>729299161>Is that true?Luck affects EXP and coins as well, so you can easily verify by killing something and noting the EXP value, then pumping luck and killing it again and seeing it increase.Stat resets are free at any crystal in town btw so you're free to build experiment.
>>729289306>>729289713Every single female character is better than Anulis because she is the overly typical "quiet, reserved, beautiful" Japanese stereotype. Which is all well and good, but it makes all of the other characters stand out more.You are correct though - Kuro > all. At least take solace in the fact that the hero tapped it at least once (canonically).
just started but crow best waifu
>>729299368The hero ends up with Anulis, Kuro, and Shiro and likely will tap the Baker's Daughter.
>>729298691>>729298735Making the mistake has no lasting consequences. You just miss out on a boss you fight in postgame anyway and an item that's farmable postgame
>>729296239>>729298098Best girl
>>729298732Difficult if you just want to enjoy the game, IMHO.Anything higher is just if you're somewhat of a masochist.
>Is it true you committed no crimes?Is the starting quote a reference to this scene?
>>729297849Oh anon, you have no idea just how far this game eventually goes.
>>729298061It is worse than the main game, but not by much. The focus is 100% on the combat gameplay and the random floor mechanic. If you enjoyed the combat of the original (as opposed to someone who just "endured" it or didn't play around with the different systems or options too much) then you will love the DLC. The Baker's Daughter becomes immensely more powerful than the main hero and gets access to "job change" on top of all of the gear, magic, summons, plates, etc, etc. The entire point of the DLC is to become overpowered and constantly level / overlevel your shit. It's fun, but it isn't a required experience.
>>729299504The first 2 bosses were the only points in the game where I felt like Hell was maybe a little overtuned
I tried the demo and I just don't get it.
IM INVINCIBLE
>>729299826https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZsH80oJD_s
>>729299826You joke but maxxing that bad boy out gives you one of the most useful skills.
>>729299826Best level-up weapon skill. Truly S tier.
>>729299705my hero ended up with about double the stats of baker's daughter aside from magic power where she mogs him 3x
what does luck affect other that stat gain? It seems a bit weird to increase luck to speed exp if you waste level ups on more luck?
>>729299990exp, drop rate, force gainsStats have a "soft cap" which is like your level + some amount I can't recall. You'll notice on your other starts when the bonus you get per point stops being worth as much, at that point its pretty safe to just dump the rest into luck up to roughly the same level
In Gaiden, is it worth it to defeat Kai in the first battle? I just got to that part and I think it's gonna be quite a long grind to do it.>>729298732I played on difficult and it felt just right. Plus muh achievement.
>>729299990>if you waste level ups on more luck?Maybe phrasing, but you know you can redistribute those stats, right?
>>729300105I think you get an item if you beat him, a ring I believe
>>729300105There's a cheevo for beating Kai, otherwise you're locked out of it if you lose
>>729300105I only did it on easiest for the cheevo and continued my impossible playthrough by losing. Aside from the cheevo you get Kaiser ring
>mfw I hear this track for the first timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VBNB0bU9Rg
Its pretty Kino up until the first ending.After that going through the same levels a second time gets boring really fast.
is this a h-game perchance?
>>729300349Nah
>>729300240>Demon King Castle>obvious final dungeon music>it's not the final dungeon>it's maybe a third of the way through
>>729300349No. But it should have been.
>>729300452Super Mario did this shit already in 1953
>>729298732i 100% it on impossible
>>729300567How significant is the increased exp?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhn-AlKixLY
>>729300393u sure?>>729300543lol
>>729300669no idea because thats the only difficulty i playedi finished the game at lv99 without any much grinding if that helps
>>729283565This. Final dungeon in post-script was such a letdown. And final boss died with me just jump attacking for 20 seconds.The whole post-script story had an interesting premise with NG+ being part of a ongoing plot, but Gaia dungeon implementation and final boss sucked so much.DLC cliffhanger ending also sucks and I genuinely hope that there won't be a sequel with stupid alien invasion.
>>729298732Difficult for the missable achievement.
>>729300669Not them, it feels pretty significant to me but you'll also need it, especially at the very start. Ironically by the end of the game I was overlevelled and the difficulty curve plummeted barring the super ultimate endgame boss.
>>729298732I played it on Hell the first time and found it completely reasonable, I'd imagine anything above it to be too easy.I replayed it on Impossible and that one made the difficulty rather more challenging but still not bullshit outside of two particular arena fights. I also did all the optional bosses at the earliest possible times on the Impossible run.
>>729281242I clapped when this happened, Gau is my nigga
>>729301236even the chair god? before you have berserk?
>>729301458Not them, chair god is theoretically possible if you grind your fucking nuts off, I made it to him but didn't have the damage to actually kill him.
>>729288382>Void StrangerDon't forget ZeroRanger too, my nigga. >Stranger of ParadiseI've been Jackpilled since Day 1, but it's surreal seeing how opinion's been changing on that game. Even Actionfags who hate NG4 love SOP. FF fans have been ranking it highly compared to the other spin-offs. Stranger of Paradise is the modern God Hand in the sense that both games were treated as shit by the press, but opinions of it change over time. Garland is a fucking beast.
>>729301429This was very kino. Also Shiro getting killed by the demon king because I let her follow me really surprised me. I figured it would be safer to keep her near me lol.
>>729298826>KEIZO is like a 50-60 year old japanese boomer who spends his online time posting about washing his car, laying down a new floor, games he's playing and meme videos often with hot chinese models.Is this real
>>729301492Stop pretending to be me, dipshit.>>729301458Yes, you can do it by spamming consumables at him. Mainly those big exploding ones with the name I don't remember.
>>729281242Astlibra is THE kamige. Any other games like Astlibra? And I don't mean games like the side-scroller Vanillaware games or Faxanadu. I just mean small games that are undisputed kamigetier.
>>729301631Yeah, that's what makes it funny. Dude finished his passion project, found success and just decided to enjoy the rest of his life in peace.
>>729301654The OG gem of /v/ KAMIdori alchemy meister still holds up today for a strategy h-rpg
>>729288382>Alchemy MasterAlchemy Meister.>Enchant FarmThis is literally one dude who keeps spamming it in every thread about any RPGMaker game and he does it by saying the game the thread is about sucks and Enchant Farm is better.
>>729301707Incredibly based honestly. Actually living the dream.
in terms of increasing dps, how does agility vs attack power compare?
>>729301654Black Souls
>>729301828I always kept my weapon weight as close to zero as possible then invested into Attack.
>>729301429the game unironically peaked in chapter 5
>>729301828Keeping weapon weight down was my main focus
>knife has no knockbackthis is shit
>>729301654i played xanadu next because of a recommendation in an astlibra thread and it was really fucking good. the story isn't great but everything else was pretty cool, if you like ys and astlibra i'd check it out.
>>729301749>This is literally one dudeThat's not true, I also post that one webm every now and again, so there's at least TWO of us.>he does it by saying the game the thread is about sucks and Enchant Farm is betterI believe that's also not true, but I can't confirm. At least every time I see it brought up, it's in a pretty civil manner.
>>729301429it's so fucking peak
>>729302016>At least every time I see it brought up, it's in a pretty civil manner.Nah, there's definitely a sperg out there that does what that anon says, I've seen the threads.
>>729300851The dev is in his 50s or so? He's still interested in gamedev but he doesn't seem to have any energy in making such ambitious projects in future.
>>729302083That's a shame then, unfortunate.
>>7293018280 gross weight > attack power.
>>729302221how come?
>>729302665Turns out being able to swing your weapon twice as fast is effectively double damage.
>>729302665attacking faster pushes enemies back more keeping you saferand also more dps probably
>>729302872does attack speed double when you reach 0 or is it gradual?
>>729302016He likes posting this image and shitting up Black Souls threads in particular.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/ijfXkawG_tI1dXrLSp0V_Q/
>>729300851>DLC cliffhanger endingPlay Magicus
>>729281242>2D sidescroller
>>729297182Man, S.S.H. makes some real bangers
>>729302973Its probably not actually double, but its a lot of reduced swing time, after-swing delay, and overall just faster response combat-wise. It's definitely worth keeping your equip weight low which its been a while so I can't remember but one of the stats increases your minimum equip weight by some amount.
>>729302973gradual, gets really bad around 80 but I'm not sure reducing it to 0 is necessary
>>729302973>>729303136>>729303142As long as it's under 40, you'll be at normal speed. Going higher is when you begin to slow down.
>>729303304>As long as it's under 40, you'll be at normal speed.Are you sure that 0 isn't faster? Because I swear it is.
>>729300191>>729300206>>729300235OW MY THUMB
ill just upgrade attack if it increases by 2 and dump the rest on agility as long as my weight is above 0, then the rest to luck
>>729283186he just said that, retard.
Always chuckle when someone wanks off this games ost. it's literally all just royalty free music messily slapped on top.
>>729304989HoMM4 also has a banging royalty-free soundtrack
>>729305170HoMM4 doesn't have random ass royalty free rap music
>>729281242What's the appeal? I looked up a random gameplay video and it looks like a metroidvania where the enemies take way too long to die on each screen.
>>729305457>>729297496
>>729305457The gameplay is solid as long as you know what to expect. Yes it is janky and somewhat dated, but the skill system and unlocks you gather along the way are genuinely interesting and improve the flow a lot as you progress. The real draw is the story, I frankly didn't expect it to be so gripped by it. To put it in simple terms with little spoilers, you're unraveling a mystery that transcends time and choosing to defy fate.
>>729305256it is also not an action game where random ass rap would fit in perfectly
>>729301931Agreed. It felt like the scope of later chapters falls off as the 2nd half of the story kicks into gear. Still enjoyed it but the first half of the game was the strongest.
>>729305457How fast enemies die depends on you mostly. You can kill shit pretty fast.
__________RAIN__________
What was the deal with the mist dude anyway? Even playing the DLC it just comes out of nowhere.
>>729297487I liked the Halloween niggacore music
>>729306871Yeah I dunno man that one still confuses me. Fucking evanescense album cover boss out of nowhere and then he's gone and ???? that was it
>>729307043The other thing I wonder about is that NPC RPG party you run into a couple times in the game, did the dev have any previous games? Were they from something like that? Not the hero's party, the one you can just talk to in a couple towns.
>>729297801How the fuck is Astlibra low effort man?The music choices and placement alone has more effort than anything made in the last 20 years of indie gaming and most songs are royalty free
>>729307262He had another game that's mobile only and untranslated but I dont think it has anything to do with them, just a random group.https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ264562.html
>>729298061It's optional yes, all the content you want is in the base game
>>729298732Be like me, Impossible + FVLL LCK build
>>729298061It sort of fills in a few gaps in the story, but not really anything important. Like others have said it's mostly just gameplay. I found it weaker than the main game but didn't hate it.
Just gonna spoil the whole thing since it contains many spoilersAstlibra girls ranked:Anulis (Lilica fused) > Kuro > Shiro (earrings form) > Anulis (Original) > Lilica > Lisa > Shiro (fake form) > Meloo > Plada > Ranker
>>729307559>Shiro (earrings form)Whoops I meant no earrings form, aka her true form, the shortstack
>>729307383>untranslatedIt says english right there on the page under languages.
>>729288791>The demo's a pretty bad way to sell the game to new playersWell now, ain't that a shame. Guess I'll just miss out on this fantastic game then.
>>729305457It's not a metriodvania
>>729307646You could just pirate it. It's what I did.
>>729297442He lied
>>729307712Correct, though it does have Metroidvania elements, like areas/chests you can only open after coming back to with new abilities/items
>>729307773Ah yes, just like permadeath means a game is a roguelikeShut up retard
>>729306871he comes back in the true end just to prompt picrel and he's gone in a minute and he's mentioned to just be completely dead in the DLCPretty pointless inclusion
>>729307812Can you fucking read?
Already got burned out on buying goblinism due to the threads here.Is this game finished?Is the game more than lolishit?If you removed all the girls from the game, would it stand on it's own merits?
>>729307773It has elements but not enough to call it one imo>>729307812No need to be rude, he didn't say it was one, just had elements of one
>>729307773Back tracking isn't an element unique to metroidvanias.>>729307830Yeah, that's my point. Feels random as hell. Although as I understand it the post game and the post post game were later additions? So I guess the dev just needed to find a way to extend the story and tossed him in.
>>729307895Are you being serious right now? This is a real game. It has 3000+ Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam for a reason.
>>729307895You sound like a bot
>>729307895Astlibra GOD Here.Game is finished, DLC is optionalNo lolishitThe story would suffer
>>729307990I am being serious, people in this place will shill the shittiest slop imaginable just because the girls are fuckable
>>729307895>goblinismHow did you not see the all warnings about that actually shilled cliqueIts a finished game about a bro and his crow going to save his childhood friend against literally everything possible
>>729307895>Is this game finished?Yes.>Is the game more than lolishit?None of the girls are lolis, at least not for long.>If you removed all the girls from the game, would it stand on it's own merits?The gameplay would still be good but you can't have the story without the protag's autism toward finding his childhood waifu. It's the core of the plot and what everything hinges on.
>>729306871he's just another god being like the others
>>729308082>>729308042Shiro's true form is an oppai loli
>>729308126He's a fiend, not a god. I think.
>>729308186Honestly I wouldn't count her as one. Feels more like a short woman with big tits. Some of that is probably the art style though.
>>729308212He's like the snake chick
>>729307895Retard catposter falls for obvious shilling of the shittiest games but can't tell a good game when he sees one, many such cases!
vros... I don't have the key
>>729308074it's not a bad game though but this isn't the thread for that
>>729308186Which is basedShe's like 4 feet tall with G cupsThe perfect woman
>>729308309That sucks man
>>729288791The schizo part of the demo was a bit overwhelming but the free first chapter drew me right the fuck in so I bought the full game, gonna start playing as soon as I can.
>>729308309you a baka, imagine not venturing forth with enough keys to unlock everything
>>729308381I dont have the clay to craft them
>>729308358She should be proud of her body instead of trying to hide it to "be taken seriously"
>>729308309Check if you have materials to craft it, result is initially hidden, I believe. I think you need ore and something else, I don't remember, sorry.
>>729308358140cm is common loli height and she's 121cm at 4ft
>>729308082Ok I'm gonna go on a fucking gamble here.If I wind up burned out, then shame on me for trusting this place twice
>>729308186I thought she was a shortstack like Rebecca from Cyberpunk
>>729308358>>729308435irrelevant since she canonically DIES
>>729308471Could have pirated it first instead
>>729308447She's very short. I approximated her at 4 feet because she's a head shorter than other girls, who are probably like 5 feet tall.
>>729308538I got lazy with the years and I don't wanna bother setting Lutris + Wine for each game I wannaplay
>>729308484Rebecca is a loli, just a goho loli.
>>729308471Why didn't you play the demo first you dumb cat posterThere are 0 guarantees that you will like the game, we can love Astlibra as much as we want but we can't others love something that they don't enjoy.Anyway I hope you have great fun like I did when someone shilled this game 2 years ago here on /v/.Merry christmas anon
>>729308471You're about to find out what a mistake you just madeAround the time you find out you have to beat the game multiple times to actually get to the end
>>729308487I saved her. She only dies in the timeline where everyone does, when Anulis goes on a rampage after you abandoned her and her unborn child because you wanted to look for Karon.
>>729308484Rebecca isn't stacked, she's almost flat and she's also a loli.Loli doesn't mean just elementary school looking girls, it also means middle school looking ones too
>>729308590Understandable. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did anon.
Man i liked it but it was a bit more longer than needed. I was close to the end and i would need to farm lvls if i wanted to advance further so i dropped it.
>>729308630> you have to beat the game multiple times to actually get to the endAre you retarded, that's not how it goes at all
>>729308630You don't though, you're misrepresenting what happens
>>729308487multiple times, along with everyone else. even the hero canonically dies to THE STRONGEST
>>729308309IM RETARDED I HAD THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE KEY THE ENTIRE TIMENYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFOUND A SECOND CHEST AFTERWARDS LOL
>>729308689>farm lvlsAnon you can beat the game with shit stats if you're good at the combat.
>>729308793The GOAT
Heard this game is too long and it gets tedious/boring by the end, facts?
I'm so happy /v/ shilled this game, I was unsure about it and now it might just be my favorite video game. Also Kuro best girl by far.
>>729308904I have 150 hours in it and I wish it was longer, but yeah the final dungeon was kinda lame.
This game does suffer with bloat. Boards are so unnecessary , I dropped this game on the first 'postgame' aka when you unlock boards and fight the same fucking plant boss 10 times in 2 hours. No idea what they were thinking really. Might come back to it eventually. How far am i from the end?
holy fuck the stick takes a while to upgrade, guess i will do that over time
>>729308815Hell, even if you aren't you can cheese a lot of things with the right spells and skill setup.>>729308904Eh. Only if you are trying to 100% shit. There are a few points that feel tedious if you are trying to grind for every weapon drop as you go through an area(coming back when you have higher luck later alleviates this, because more luck means better chest drop rate). The final post game dungeon is a bit meh but it's also pretty easy to just blast through and get done.
Man people really just can't help but spoil the game for others
>>729308904It's like 70 hours long, I had fun all throughout it. The final few hours might be tedious depending on whether you like the combat or not. There's a proc-genned dungeon you have to run a bunch of times if you want the best ending (the amount of grind also depends on some of the choices you've made during the main game) but that's it.
>>729309091Just wait a couple chapters, you can get it done in like two screens by chapter 4 or 5. It's really, really not worth grinding right at the start.
To anyone who says they "finished" the game or was close to it, if you don't know who Lilica is then you didn't actually reach the endgame.The credits roll 3 times in total but the game continues. No, it isn't NG+ even if you think so at first, events in Postscript happen totally differently from the original timeline.
>>729308904I liked it so much I didn't want it to endBut yeah it has plenty of 'just kidding it's not over yet' moments
I liked the final dungeon as a switch up where I'm more focused on just killing things and working through it without having to worry about any exploration.
>>729309146Sometimes spoilers can be good to people who never played, it's not an universal thing that will make someone not experience the thing they are being spoiled
>>729309184As long as "best ending" is not considered true ending then I guess it is fine, but I hate when game asks you to play for 100 extra hours unlocking everything to get a "real ending"
Did MC fuck Kuro in chapter 4?
3 hours in, level 10, ready for the caveI might have overgrinded, but I'm on hell and I have no idea how long that place is
>>729309069if you've killed 10 of those plants you're almost at the bad ending. true ending takes a few more hours of grinding
>>729309291It's not another 100 hours to begin with, but it is the true end. The grind for love is kind of annoying but doesn't actually take very long.
>>729309291It's not that long. But it's RNG. So you might be done within an hour, or 10. It didn't take me that long, but I guess it's possible that it might end up that way for someone.
The love grind isn't actually that bad since you get to get some content with each party memeber for getting their rank up and after that you can just use poron
>>729309361Nah no idea if i fought 10 of them on the dot. Might have been 5 but they are -literally- all the sameThanks for da tip. I found the story so far pretty interesting.
>>729309330That's up to you to decide
>>729309529Plus you might have gotten a couple earlier in the game, depending on your choices.
>>729308904>Heard this game is too longOnly if you're ADD or something and can't handle a full length game. >and it gets tedious/boring by the endPostscript is what this is probably referring to, and I don't know if I'd call it boring but the very last bit of content is a bit tedious. It's not very long at all though, so it's hardly an issue. The DLC carries on with this shit though which makes it a lot more hit or miss for most, personally I'd have preferred something else for the DLC but it is what it is.
I really enjoyed the final dungeon, it was fun place to play with everything in your endgame arsenal and having Kuro my beloved join me whenever just made it all the better.
>>729307895Is Onirism bad? I like Serious Sam and platformers, so I was thinking about buying it.
it was nice knowing you all
>>729308642She says she lied about the pregnancy later, when you're giving her Love. It soured that moment for me a little but with the shit she's been through I still understand. She can make it up to the hero by not being crazy possessive now and letting him have his harem.
>>729309795It's buggy and janky and unfinished to boot.
>>729309795not him but I liked it but it's a bit janky and was buggy on release, even missing the final level, though it's patched now and you can beat the game
>>729307895The actual informative answer for you here>Is this game finished?if anything its TOO finished, its a fully fleshed out 80 hour long campaign>If you removed all the girls from the game, would it stand on it's own merits?The girls suck, the leading male characters are the biggest gigachads on earth
without spoiling would you guys say it's worth farming the love to get the true ending or should I just watch it on youtube?
>>729310092I remember it taking maybe an hour total, and it's at the absolute ass end of the game so you might as well finish it off.
>>729310092just respec into luck man, respecing is free
>>729309843She had a hard life and then a harder extended life but she's better now, I'm sure she would be willing to share with Shiro and Kuro
>>729310092It's not too bad of a farm so you might as well just do it. But if you burnt out or having bad luck I guess you can watch it.
>>729310092Yeah, it doesn't take long.
>>729310092its 1 hour at the end of a 79 hour campaign in exchange of a kino endingi would definitely go for the 100% in this gamewith that said, the final dungeon is the lowest point of the game. im glad the dlc improved a bit but i still think its really boring compared to exploring cool environments. i would have loved if the DLC was a hybrid of both, but so far i only got to the geas roots part and dropped the dlc for a few months
>>729308471I'll probably buy it too, but if it's bad I'm never going to trust /v/ ever again.
>>729308629Paradoxically, you're better off playing the demo for Astlibra after you beat the game.
>>729310370>>729308629i was about to say thisthe demo is fucking schizophrenic and crazy, made me think the game was gonna be bad. The actual normal game is a perfect, excellent introduction to everything, and the demo only made sense after i had beat the whole game
>>729310261Man the dlc just didn't do it for me the way the main game did, no level design was bleh enough but also the story gave me really mixed feelings.Unrelated but wtf is happening? I can't post with 4chanx? What's with this new captcha?
>>729310498>the story gave me really mixed feelings.yeah, polin just had me cringing to death when i missed karon
>>729310316Pirate it first.......
>>729310498Update your extension if you haven't yet.
>>729291331they're both pure raw uncut unfiltered kino of the highest order and it was an honor and a pleasure for me to enjoy both of them within a couple months of each other this year
>>729310498The story isn't bad, or at least I didn't think so. It's a nice little side story that touches more on the gods of the world that just get glossed over in the main game
>>729310092It's not only about the ending but also about the mini story events you get on giving her each love, which I would say are worth seeing it if you like her at all. Depending on whether you got the two loves from during the story you hardly need to grind at all, with how many the easily completed character affection events give to you as well. Don't forget you can get back the one from the item you craft with one of them via dissassembly, if you did that.>>729310162There's a whole new world to populate so I'd hope so.
>>729310718>picrelDrakengard reference?
>>729310718Well there are people from the other sky islands too but yea, a lot of empty surface they could settle down in
>>729310945I wish we got to see the amazon tribe snuusnuu
>>729311046Anon...
>>729310945With all due respect for the suffering they probably endured as well, our island has Chaddington the Godslayer of Time who actually went and solved everything, I'd say there is some dibs involved there.
>>729307773>like areas/chests you can only open after coming back to with new abilities/itemsThat's not a thing, anything in a chapter can be obtained on the first visit to that area, outside of the painting room in the town which is the only exception.
Will Astlibra satisfy my urge for a harem game? I miss when games had every girl lust after the protagonist.
>>729311272arent Trails game still like that?
>>729301551>SoPDlc worth it? I've never played the game
>>729311430nta but yes
>>729311130Oh of course, that's why he and his 3+ wives will have prime land stakes on the newly habitable surface
>>729311272It's not really a harem game. There are multiple girls interested in the MC but it's not gonna scratch your harem anime itch.
>>729299161In my experience it does, but it kind of felt like there's a luck floor you need to hit before it's noticeable. So if you neglect it for too long you'll need to respec and move a bunch of points into luck to notice a difference.Was playing on impossible too.
>>729311272A lot of girls are attracted to the MC
>>729311272The MC is ChildhoodFriendSexual so your harem is never gonna happen
>>729311390every girl wants the MC's cock in the newest Trails arc but you don't choose who to romance like in Cold Steel
Why is this sword made of cake?
>>729312030The cupcakes are to motivate the piglet to craft the legendary weapon for you.
>>729311663Anulis is pretty close to the other two by the end of the true end so she would make him
>>729310092it's not bad to farm, just know that it only drops from the boss chests or from digging it up with the dog. I think boss rushing is better overall than bringing the dog.
>>729310641They were certainly the highlight. I was really interested in the Gods from the base game and seeing more of them was really cool. I just didn't buy the 'this happened somewhere in the main story' bit and the whole thing felt a little fan fiction-y to me.
>>729310567Did it work? Testing testing...
>>729312453Eh it fits in nicely to be honest. You can sort of tell something is going on with the baker's daughter in the main game anyway. That armor set had to come from somewhere.
>>729308959The free version has her ass fully exposed.
This is such a unique system. Do any other games do something similar?>>729312195definitely better to rotate supporters so they each give you their loves
>>729312562of course you rotate supporters, but even if you get all of the supporter's loves and the 3 missable ones from the main story you still need 1 random drop love. If you only need the one you'll hopefully get it while maxing out your allies, but it's not too difficult to miss 2 of the story ones and then you'll probably need to grind a bit.
>>729312556To each their own I suppose. I didn't hate it or anything, just thought it was a massive downgrade from the base game which had me completely hooked.
>>729312870Oh absolutely, I definitely put the main game above it. I'm just saying that it's fine as a gaiden chapter. I would have preferred it being structured more like the main game but it's fine for what it is, a gameplay focused side story.
>>729307712I see, I'm not really familiar with any other genre that has 2d side view exploration, fighting enemies, and RPG elements. Can you see why I'd think it's similar to Aria of Sorrow? How would you say it's different - is it that the RPG mechanics and skills are more complex?
>>729312453I think it happens on the timeline where everyone dies
i liked the mech designs
>>729313046It's more focused on fighting and gear and not on exploration being gated by anything. There really isn't even that much exploration really, the areas are more like stages.
>>729313050Kuro and Gau die inside the cave, so that rules out any of the main game timelines
>>729313046The core of metroidvanias is the interconnected world design. This is more separated out into chapters/levels. There isn't much in the way of get new ability/item which unlocks this new area like you see in a metroidvania. This is just a side scrolling action RPG.
>>729313220that was in the dream the Baker's Daughter was having due to the mist fiend, the whole thing up until you beat him is a dream she's having because she's dead
>>729300349The MC is actually one of the ancients and is the governor's lost brother.
>>729314052misquote or malicious spoiler?
>>729307619No, you had the correct ranking the first time (earrings form > shortstack) with everything other than Anulis at the top but you are welcome to your wrong opinion on that.
>>729310767Don't fuck your dragonbro Charon, bro.
>>729314204Charon always felt like a chick to me.
>>729314140The only one described with the same physical characteristics is the Governor, so there's (an implied) reason why the MC looks the way he does. Though, the game also never confirms they're brothers despite the mom being shown having a similar hair color and hairstyle to the MC.
>>729298061The second half of is it postscript continuation but it's not necessary, the ending is cute though, pic related. I'm glad she got revived
>>729308959>>729309206>>729309772>/v/ is Kurochads to the endSometimes, just sometimes - this website is all right.
>>729313112The monster designs were pretty on point overall. Even though several of the zones are relatively cliche by themselves the gameplay encounters and story pacing keep things interesting.Though fucking annoying I liked the idea of the red blood sucker bots emulating metroids.>>729314052>>729314310That's really interesting. The prime minister suddenly saying he was looking for his long lost brother had me so confused because almost everything has some implication or link that you can pick up on but him saying that just had me with nothing.
>>729313448makes sense. but then, who was scales?
>>729314541Despite having the shakiest story I liked the vibes of Chapter 4 the most. Also playing the game made me realize how few games have an episodic story where each chapter is its own self contained adventure, more games should try it
>>729310092Grinding for Love is the DLC experience, so if you're tired of the gameplay by then I'd say just skip it but you've already sunk something like 70+ hours into the game, so you might as well just do it; it doesn't take very long.>>729314414The lack of titfucking art of Kuro is a tragedy.>>729314797I think more games should have an OP. It's very hilarious when it's a fetish game that tie directly into serious moments like Fire Memoria.https://files.catbox.moe/vdadrn.mp4Also https://files.catbox.moe/66vixf.mp4The only thing Astlibra is missing is gay anal enema flashbacks during boss fights.
>>729314797Chapter 4 was too good, you can just tell Keizo had a lot of fun making it. Chapter 5 right after it is almost too much peak to handle.
sex with the mage girls while anulis watches
HELP
>>729315459Time to git gud anon.
HOW TF DO I BEAT THAT
>>729315459Go for the eyes!
>>729315459protip: hit the dragon until it dies
>>729315459You're on Hell, right? Have fun hitting it for 30 minutes while avoiding 2shots. The head takes more damage. Your shield can 360 block.
>>729298146>>729311459>ntaWhy do you fags insist on this? We are all fucking anonymous it doesn't fucking matter.
>>729315459The power escalation for the game is hilarious
>>729315459Hit his weak points for massive damage
I wondered if the hero was a genius or a literal drooling retard, the conclusion I came to is that he can be both.
>>729315459This is where perfect blocking starts really paying off (especially if you have the ability where if you perfect block something it can only take you to 1 HP, never a killshot), but yes it is time to git gud.
>>729315397She saw everthing that happened in the chapter 4 inn and every time Shiro woke the Hero up with her antics
>>729314687I'm guessing the one set in some dead time line resonated with her or somehow the dream version manifested the power of the real ones for her. It's the only part I have issues figuring out.
>>729315806i never used block lul
>>729315459Use Karon to I-frame
>>729312557Are you blind?
>>729316080No, are you?
>>729316258No, because I can see what are clearly bloomers. The frilly hem is distinct.
>>729309795It's fucking unfinished
>>729316432Damn, that's disappointing. At least captive Astra is actually naked, even though she has a barbie body.
>>729281242I'm one of those who are glad that /v/ shilled them this game
>>729308959 I like this game but boy does it look like some euro PC slop from the 90s on the amiga or zx spectrum. Britbongs will never know the magic of opening a snes or genesis on christmas day.
>>729316697it's not anymore, it has the full last level and ending now
>>729315459hit it in the headuse magic
>>729285221little clunky but i had fun with it
>>729316712>barbie body.pretty sure i see some faint nipples there.
>>729281242Whenever I see this on Steam I write it off as a generic RPGM game even though I'm pretty sure it's a side scroller. I think it's the cover's artstyle
>>729317529Nigga you dumb
Shiro is a tsundereAnulis is a yandereWhat is Kuro?
>>729317638Best girl.
>>729317638Not mentally ill.
>>729317638Deredere
>>729317638My wife
>>729317529I wrote it off for years after seeing the blocky poorly tiled ground textures and assuming it was low effort epic difficulty metroidvania bullethell like Rabi-Ribi
>>729316712>>729312557Revision is funny because its a weird case where technically its censored but only because its the product of a guest artist coming on to redraw basically everything.But also Kuro's alt outfit got way lewder in Revision, in the original its just some basic bra and panties and boy did they look a little weird.
>>729317964And also the ch4 statue/boss goes from this
>>729317964>Kuro's alt outfitStill bullshit it's not purchasable in the DLC for Baker's Daughter.
>>729317638Wifedere
>>729318059To this.The only thing that's actually intentionally censored is some of the gore.
I gifted someone my key for this last Xmas without knowing what it was. Now I want to try it lol woops
>rabi ribi>low effort
Now that I think about it, what was with the dlc ending? Is it actually leaving the door open for more to come or just a 'The story continues and will get even crazier' ending? The original true ending seemed to imply there were more adventures to go on anyway.
if you start finding trash in gold chests it means you exhausted the unique loot so far, right?
>>729318585Correct, time to move on
>>729318539It just left the ending open ended in case the guy wants to do more. I don't think he's doing more but who knows
higher handling = gooder? What does it mean/do?>>729318610I'm grinding for the dragon boss..
>>729318684faster attack speed but also less meter gain per hit and maybe less knockback
>>729297592It's still worth it. You got like 10% of it spoiled anyway
>>729318684Something that will help more than grinding, if you use a magic attack you can avoid damage for a period of time during the cast
>>729318684Faster base attack speed, but also less break meter damage, I think.
>>729318684If you are on hell you can't really overlevel for shit, you HAVE to get good because shit will continue to hit hard all the way through.
>>729318919by magic you mean possession?
>>729298061It doesn't do anything particularly interesting or worthwhile with the story. Get it if you like Astlibra's gameplay, it's a better version of the main game's final dungeon basically.
>>729319007Yuppers
>>729318664No way Keizo reposted this man I'm crying. But yeah I don't think he's that old, maybe he's done for now but who knows, maybe in a few years he gets the itch to revisit the world again.
>>729318585From my experience it heavily favors giving you unique stuff first but I've had it at least once where it didn't. Comments online seem to suggest the same, i.e. someone having some bad luck with a drop.Though you will always be able to go back and get it in any case so you never miss out. No shame in just checking the equipment list guide if you prefer to make sure you've picked everything up the first time around.
>>729281242Is this game worth it at 25% off or should I wait for a deeper sale?
Ill level up just once(almost 15) and then I'll try again, I like the broadsword, not sure where I even got it
>>729318684yeah it's 3 categories of swing speed:>handling 1: 81f>handling 2: 63f>handling 3: 49fit also determines minimum weight required to hit max swing speed>handling 1: 60 w. max>handling 2: 50 w. max>handling 3: 40 w. max
>>729319216been out for 3 years and 25% off is the most it's been discountedyou could also pirate it
>>729319274so any agility that gets me lower than 40 weight is useless?
>>729319216Worth full price, 25% is a good deal.
>>729319315yep
>>729301828>in terms of increasing dps, how does agility vs attack power compare?I always go with enough agility to get my attack speed maxed out and then put the rest into attack. If I remember right, if weapon weight minus AGI is no higher than 40 your attack speed is as high as it will go.
>>729319138heh
>>729306871They really should have had him mess with you a few times throughout the postgame chapter
>>729319138He was probably like "mm curry yum *posts 500 pictures of his lunch like every japanese man on twitter*"
>>729307895>Is this game finished?>Is the game more than lolishit?>If you removed all the girls from the game, would it stand on it's own merits?Yes, yes, yes.
>>729319472That's pretty much it. To be honest most japanese are pretty ignorant of how bad the rest of the world has gotten, because for all of Japan's faults it's still mostly a japanese country for japanese people.
eh, the boss isnt that hardBut pretty much only my double strike possession hurts him
>>729320065I think the first two bosses can be a bit of a wall but then it's smooth sailing for a while
>>729320225Volcano boss filtered a lot of people back when the threads were new, but otherwise yeah.He's not even that bad imo
EZ AS FUCK
>>729320381volcano boss has an annoying barrier that limits what you can hit him with. I've heard you can actually break parts of it but on hell/impossible I haven't seen it happen. What's easy to miss is that it actually goes away during some of his attacks and you can get close to him and hit him normally during them
>>729299816>>729307646>>729288791In a weird irony, the "demo"" mode isn't what you should be playing in the demo, since from memory the demo includes the full chapter 1 experience normally? Initially I played the "demo" mode and it actually turned me off the game, I only took the plunge and went "fuck it" and bought it after /v/ shilling because it was paired with chained chronicles in a dual pack at the time and I kinda wanted to play that. Chained chronicles was utter garbage that I ended up barely playing, Astlibra ran so many circles around it it isn't funny.>>729310370>>729310413There's irony in that for sure, the demo only makes sense if you beat the game, and is a "here's most mechanics in the game (with zero explanations about any of them), a handful of weapons, and a completely fucked up "progression". knock yourself out".
>>729320750the demo shows off what the game is really about
>the village diednyoooooooooooooooooo
>>729293657people like you is why a lot of videogames suck now
>>729321134Just go back in time and fix it bro
She does look like an Alice
>>729320915If there's one thing I enjoy in the Gaiden it's hitting the coloured party balls with skills, or having the drop-force-on-hit skill and firing room wide magic at a bunch of monsters and watch it stream in.The break-the-statue one is also neat, just for the idea of it.
>>729321325Yeah but she's not some grotesque cosmic horror or anything... surely
>>729293258>I just can't stand silent protagonistsstopped reading right there, shit taste
>>729314392Despite being an edgy jobber, at least Al-Khamis was based enough to personally go and try revive his waifu by challenging a creator god
>>729321437Yeah, she's just a Nintendo Gamecube.
>>729321325Grimm just because a girl has blonde hair doesn't mean she is Alice. The MC and Grimm would get along though.
>>729317964>>729316712Sheero also gets a white paint job instead of black (and a giant gear covering her crotch wtf?). I have no idea how shit works in the original though, since I don't seem to be able to raise my attack speed so weapons just seem to get worse and worse?
>>729293657>I survived the captcha just to post this.I bet it was really hard for you. Congrats.
>>729321670>I have no idea how shit works in the original though, since I don't seem to be able to raise my attack speed so weapons just seem to get worse and worse?There's no SP points on leveling up, so you can't stack a billion points on AGI like on revised version, thus the heavier weapons weight a ton and feel like absolute ass to use.
>>729321325Red is like the anti-alice to me. If she was in a blue dress i'd agree.>>729321670>I have no idea how shit works in the original though, since I don't seem to be able to raise my attack speed so weapons just seem to get worse and worse?The actual combat mechanics are fucking wack in the original, spells are more generic/melee focused and have a huge amount of cast time/cast delay and some weapon types just feel awful.Like the short 1h weapons opening attack goes BEHIND you and MOVES YOU BACKWARDS.ITS SO FUCKING GARBAGE.>Sheero also gets a white paint job instead of blackI thought it was a bra and panties instead of latex goop, the gear is mobile so its not a very effective censor in the original or revision. Its more like teasing and trying to distract you mid-combat because you saw the gear start to move.
>>729321820That's the thing, it wasn't just the heavier weapons, it was literally every fucking weapon past like chapter 2. I stopped playing after chapter 5 because it was becoming too much of a slog even on easy.
>>729321881That mechanic doesn't sounds terribly well implemented. They should revise it.
>>729321978:^)Theres so much jank in the original that i'd joke about being SOVL but honestly i'm glad it got changed. Like all those keys in my hotbar because you have to use keys like an item on chests that drop rather than just have them in your inventory.>>729321912Chapter 5 is about where I stopped cataloguing things too because even though I was cheating with 999 stacks of everything it was getting tiresome.
