it's really nothing special and kind of tedious
>>732736394It sucks. Just like his other two games.Turd worlders love his shitty games because they can run on toasters. And they're too stupid to pirate.
>>732736394Never played Isac because babies are gay. However I saw the trailer to this and saw cats fucking. As a gentleman of the fur, will I like this?
>>732736394I'm having fun with it :D
>>732736394> has gay cats and cats with a "?" gender
>>732737252>reddit loses its shit over the christian cats>v loses its shit over the gay catsi love this game
>>732736608Maybe.
>>732736713>I'm having a blast
>>732737327Me too anon, me too
>>732737509Sounds like he's an oldfag who loves Nintendo games. The game being fun is their only defense. Since forever. What's fun about it? Stfu, snoy.
>>732736394It's like a retarded version of Into the breach
>>732736394Can't beat the stupid faggot cat throwing bombs and blowing them up for a million damage every round.Game is stupid and so am I
>>732737638Can't wait for his next game in 5 years. A roguelite card game with his horrible "art style". He's really up to date and has the finger on the pulse
so what do you gain after a run if items break and you can't take the cats that won back out into the neighborhood
>>732737714The bombs always explode at the end of the round, it doesn't matter if it was placed 1 turn ago, so stunlock the fucker and break the bombs with cheap spells and thats it
>>732737509>>732737576I'm 32 and haven't played a nintendo game since Mario Odyssey and can't remember the last one before that. You niggers just need to learn how to stop being faggots and enjoy things.
>>732737986I like good games. And not shit like this. Again. Very similar to tendies. Only their shit is fun. Nothing else is. Grow up.
t. Skill Issue, unironically
>>732737986>fellow boomer: spottedI'm enjoying the game, as well. Not sure if it'll hook me in the same way Isaac did, but I'd be lying if I said the peepee poopoo doesn't bring a smile to my face.
>tediousseems right. I've only played for about an hour but it feels like there are some obvious quality of life options missing. Sorting cats is very annoying early on when I don't know what I'm fishing for
>>732737327heh sometimes toxoniggers are alright
streamer bait fotm
>>732738828The Twitch audience just loves slow turn based strategy games.
>>732738980they love exceedingly simple things to play off of. they dont care about the actual game they just like seeing their favorite egirl snoyface at the funny cats
>>732738980>The Twitch audience just loves *watching streamer trannies overreact to slow turn based strategy games.ftfy
>>732736394what took so long?
>>732738828>streamer bait fotmfotw* it's not that big
It's exactly like Isaac in that it's decent fun but a gigantic timesink.
>>732737509Go fuck yourself, snoy piece of shit.Retarded snoy.
>>732736394>roguesludgeInto the fucking sewer it goes.
>>732736394I’m enjoying seeing northernlion having to pretend to enjoy it because he owes his entire streaming career to Ed McMillan and Isaac. Other than that, it’s ok.
this game is ugly as fuck but i'm forced by contract to play every single SRPGso how is it compared to the good ones of the genre? is it playable now or i wait for future updates?
>price is one and a half Silksong'sWhat the fuck? Should be like $15 max
man, you niggers are miserable, holy shit
>>732741929>noooo, stop having taste. You have to like this shitty gameKeep crying
anyone else experiencing the game not launching? I've tried a ton of shit and nothing fixes it
>>732736394It's a significantly better Bum-bo. And Bum-bo wasn't even bad.
>yidmund kikemillen
>>732741958you're a contrarian niggerfaggot and probably haven't even played the game.
>>732742412>everyone who plays this shit likes itDelusional
Game for fat bearded 30 year olds with poor hygieneAmerican is pig disgusting
why do you fuckers get your panties in a twist like this whenever people try to discuss anything besides AAA slop and eceleb drama
>>732742496>didnt dispute itlmao pathetic
>>732742508Stop crying whenever people don't like whatever you like. It's not a big deal, faggot.
>>732742539>his meltdown is still goingIt's hilarious, keep going, schizo. I played it and the game sucks.
>>732742553I haven't even played the game yet since it won't fucking launch on my computer I'm just curious at the pattern of negativity new indies get
>>732736394It seems very overpriced for a 2D meme game.
This is a game for trailer trash, just like Deltarune
>>732742580what sucks about it and how long have you played it for?
>>732742618I think since indie game have such a capacity for success and how the market has shifted torward games that could count as indie titles that they have lost the benefit of the doubt that being an indie project would have given.
>>732742646yeah the price is pretty steep, I could maybe see 20 but 30 is pushing it a lot
>>732737767stronger breeding fodder, items only have a chance to break after a run, and retired cats get to be used an extra time later on
faggot acid slime broke the fancy bow can I get another oneis the fag gonna be mad at me for losing it
>>732742646Game has been cracked launch don't pay for this shit.
>>732736394Bought it because I wanted a better Wildermyth but the "LOL CATS" veneer on it gets old VERY fast, even faster than Isaac.
>>732744482what is it for anyway? i did a run with it completed caves and nothing happened
Me (xe/xur) and all my friends are having a blast. It is a return to form.
>>732736394I'm not playing it because it's just going to balanced around one faggot streamer which is how issac died.
>>732742773>No responseMan you cooked that coward and sent him scurrying like the /v/eddit rat he is.
>>732746098funny thing is i haven't even played it myself, i just hate retards that obviously doom post every game for no real reason, they don't even fucking play games they are just here to make everyone as miserable as themselves.
>>732738828It's not a good streamer game. You have to think way too much.
How do I breed my retired cats? They refuse to fuck. Sending out strays seems to be working, but I want to make some fucked up freaks to play with
>>732736394It's no Isaac.
>>732747136it really isn't. Isaac is simple but deceptively deep. This is trying so hard to be deep but is slow and tedious.
>Hangs around with guys who make fun of Japanese games >Makes a game that rips off Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Jap SRPGs all at once.
>>732746779Find the common denominator if you keep getting deny events and throw them into the pipe
>>732747420>>Hangs around with guys who make fun of Japanese gamesthat was 15 years ago
how long have you been waiting to make this thread
>>732747180True. Isaac is a deep game with simple mechanics. This is a complex game with complex mechanics. It's completely different.
>>732747425Ahh, I see. Gonna donate my frigid tank ASAP
>>732736394What's wrong, it's too chewy for you? You're gonna cry now?
>>732736394It's okayI genuinely don't understand why it's a roguelite, it could have just been an Into the Breach clone and that would have been good enough. The entire StS aesthetic with the paths and random events and shit is totally unnecessary. Indie devs seriously have no fucking creativity any more, everything is a copy of a (pretty bad) deckbuilder.
>>732748092Into the Breach is a roguelite.
>Turn based in 2026Into the fucking trash it goes
>>732736394I do unfortunately agree. To be sure, I didn't even know what this game was before a friend got me to try it.From a couple of hours put it I see that there will be many things future patches will most likely address, like having to go through the intro "cinematic" if you'd want to start a new game, being unable to turn off character voices or skip dialogue altogether, being able to perform actions while animations are playing (like the coin collecting or performing in-place attacks/buffs), or having something like an "incoming wind direction" icon. These are just odd decisions will be required to fix for player retention.But the core gameplay... I'm not sure. I understand that it's supposed to be a "make the most of your situation", as is for all roguelikes, but in practice it just means you must throw shit at the wall until you amass enough progression to be able to actually do that. Understanding a boss's mechanics helps you very little when the stats you have are best utilized in a build focused for something else. The rest of the RNG like opening a ? room and getting a broke ribcage with no skill check means you know for a fact you won't be progressing to the next map, but you must do the rest of this map for food anyway. Which is another thing. None of this would be an issue if you weren't forced to engage with the game with a build you actively do not want to play, or else your cats starve.
>>732741958Proving the point award
It's really just kind of a shit game, huh? I gave it a pass for the first couple of runs, but the grind is insane. Why am I expected to meat grinder hundreds of cats for basic unlocks? Why can't I run my cats through all the levels, why do I need to unlock them first?
>>732749483Rogueshite games all get overrated by reviewers, God only knows why.
>>732748135Not the same way.
>>732749483Every game does this to pad the runtime, it's fucking stupid. Hades was the worst about it, genuinely cannot believe how many times they wanted you to play that game. No idea how it was popular. This one might be even worse.
>>732751689You can at least win Hades on the first run, it's just difficult. This shit is worse than fucking Rogue Legacy with how it expects you to grind forever to even play the game.Honestly, the sensible thing to do would be to just cheat in a billion cats to max out all the stupid upgrades.
>>732737463need to see this cat getting bred by radical rat
>>732745841>xe/xurWhat kind of gender is this>>732748207The genre is alive and kicking, remember Baldur's Gate and Expedition.
>>732749483>>732751689Same. This shit is fucking retarded.>25 cats of this kind.>25 cats of this kind.>10 cats of this kind.I don't want to do the same fucking dungeon over and over, what is this dogshit? Binding of Isaac felt like an ever-growing dungeon crawler, this feels like... hell. It feels like grinding in an RPG without the fun of actually progressing. Then again that's basically MMOs too and people love those, the skinner box is real. I just hate this format.
>great run>"revenge" means that he possesses your fucking cat and then just casts freeze forever so you lose all other catsNice. Fuck this shit game.
I'm enjoying it, but I'm worried about the tedium and some of the stuff already mentioned here. As >>732747180 said, there's a lot to dig into here, but the combination of time investment and complexity is concerning. Isaac runs can end up hitting an insane brick wall but it's fine because the runs move quick anyway and you can just jump right back in, but here I'm realizing I'm just waiting for my >>732752031 moment; I'm a patient dude but if that kind of shit ends up having a tendency to happen, I'll probably sour pretty quickly.Hopefuly Edmund catches on and does something about, because I don't feel like it's too fundamental of an issue to create solutions for.
>>732752510The possession bullshit actually had a safeguard after 8 rounds so I was able to scrape back victory despite going down to a single living cat. One got mulched, but hey, better than a fucking wipe.
>>732737714If you destroy the bombs, they don't explode. Just hit them with ranged.
The graphics are all fucked and square
>throw away most of my retired cats because they're useless>oh btw there's a big timed boss revealed after the boneyard that you can only fight with retired cats lol!It's so fucking tiresome.>>732753726Buddy, stop trying to play games on your toaster.
IMHAVINGABLAST!!!!
>have two go-to Isaac streamers that stream Isaac for 6+ hours ultiple times a week for years on end>they both tapped out at three hoursit's not a bad game at all, but it's not very exciting to play over and over
>>732753726>photo of a monitorare you retarded
>>732736394It's good but it feels like it came pre installed with at least 1 or 2 DLCs. Like I'd actually say it has too much content for a base game and probably should have been scaled back a bit (and the price dropped too).
>>732738113It is a PC game, it has nothing to do with Nintendo. Are you Indian?
>>732753990>>732753990It shouldn’t look like this
>>732736394roguelikes in general aren't very funshallow variety, zero gameplayit's mostly just marketing hype>my favorite youtuber said it was good so i'm going to support it nowfake games
>shitty toxo gameI wouldn't play this shit if you paid me
>>732736394>Gameplay, items, builds, creativity are like a 9/10>Aesthetic, Graphics, Writing, etc are like a 1/10How is it that Edmund is still doing LE POOPY SHITTY POOP MAN stuff in 2026? How is it that it seems the art has degraded since Isaac?This game having all the gross stuff doesn't even make sense. Filth makes sense with Isaac cause of the whole bible, religious, holy angle with demons and evils and stuff. This is just cats, he could have gone with anything.
Hating cats (and other animals) is so brown coded that half the posts in this thread might as well be in hindi.
>>732754124cats poop too you know
>>732754018You should be thankful for content, why are you complaining.
>>732754206First of all, I said I wanted it to be cheaper. That is the first thing you should know because I am not trying to pay the same for less.Second, it really just has to do with the campaign being so long and the sheer number of items or abilities.
>>732754195so does daenerys targaryen
>>732736394>read steam description>200+ hour main campaign>tag: Rogueliteso it's a 10 hour game stretched to 200+ because you keep restarting is that it?
>>732754124It’s “in house” and on brandThis one has cat poop sure but it also has sex sex sex sex
>>732754124You've never lived with a woman who owns a cat, and it shows. Bible households are a million times cleaner than catgirl households.
I just want to play this dumb cat game but it’s all squares bros
>>732754423Update your directx or something.
>>732737714>get the boss twice in a row>its raining both times so the fuses get instantly extinguished
>>732754423your gpu is fucked probablyrip
>>732754396The filth/poop/blood/urine from Isaac to me fit because of the religious stuff and not cause of, like, a christian house. It is more like you associate those "dirty" things with sinning or just a general sort of uncleanliness that is associated with the bad parts of the world.>>732754327>>732754396I totally get that all animals have to pee/poop. I own a dog, and taking her out is a fact of life for me. But like, most pet owners try to minimize the impact of their pet's waste, including cat owners who have scientifically developed the world's best cat litter or some shit.
>>732736394>Oh a new game by the iSack guy lets see what->another "rogue" gambleslopSo tired of those.
>>732754462Edmund is crude
>>732754498>Wow, the guy who made one of the most famous (and best) roguelikes of all time made another!>He should have stopped making the genre he helped to put on the map because of other irrelevant niggers
>>732754462>But like, most pet owners try to minimize the impact of their pet's wasteAgain, you've not lived with a woman who owns a cat, and it shows.There's literally cat shit on the floor right now, I even stepped in it, so now my girlfriend will have to also clean my shoes alongside the cat poop she's letting sit on the floor while she takes a shit herself, thankfully not on the floor.
>>732754294It mostly takes that long because upon first completing an area you're FORCED to end your run there instead of continuing on to the next. Past that, I could only see 100%ing the game taking that long. If they let you, you could easily beat the game with 4 random strays only an hour in.
>>732754682Isaac has a similar issue, to be fair. Edmund believes in the chew.
>>732754540He made other genres before. As a roguelike this one didn't really bring anything new
>>732737509KILL yourself
>>732754749Isaac at least lets you run through a reasonable set of levels before you get cut off, in this it's like "you beat 3 fights? Great, time to head home!" Then 6, then 9, then probably back to 3 again.
>>732754682>>It mostly takes that long because upon first completing an area you're FORCED to end your run there instead of continuing on to the next.good to know, won't play that shit then
i wanted tacticsi got streamer bait family guy gags
>>732755415I guess. Getting sent back after Mom or Mom's Heart feels like you've barely scratched the surface once you've unlocked everything, though. Mewgenics might be a bit worse.
>>732755558>game is too easy! >cites an early game boss interaction>presumably can't even force said interaction without sinking in tons of hours of gameplayur gay
>>732756108A bit? From what I can see so far, you can only take a group of cats through 3 stages before you have to ditch them.
What an amazingly retarded mechanic.
all the steam reviews are stupid jokes and even streamer in-jokes, is this game good or not? I did like isaac
>>732736394yeah it's just not fun, where's the action
>>732754074learn to screenshot retard.
>/v/ filtered that a game that requires thinkingwhy am I not surprisedthis game's pretty sick
>>732756918It is but you won't discuss that here. /v/ermin judge games positively via steam charts and nothing else.
>>732754540Binding of Isaac was a looong time ago and back then the concept was more novel Actual roguelike fans thought this was just the first step of a beautiful new genre that has all the depth of a roguelike but with real time action combat.Instead we get like 20 new gameslops every month with 30 minutes of shallow content stretched to 300 hours to slowly farm your permanent +0.1% DickThrobbingPower stat.
>>732756590go on, chew your steak anon. nice and slowly.
>>732755558>the game egg mcmuffin hired hundreds of streamers to make cat noises for caters to streamersyou dont say
>>732757538If fun single-player tactics games cater to streamers then I'll take it
>>732756360Think of it as an Eden run, every run.
>Waterworks boss that slams everyone around>newly revived cat dies instantly (still won tho)Steak status: tough but not inedible
>>732737509Who are you quoting?
>>732736394>it's really nothing specialNot spectacular but not bad at all.>and kind of tediousCat management in the base is very tedious, yes. Cycling through each cat one by one is terrible design. No clue why they don't have a table view but it's definitely coming in an update. It's an obvious huge QOL fix.Also, for all the dev's talk about researching genetics and heredity, why doesn't the game include any family tree? Makes zero sense. Rogue Legacy did it. No reason to omit it here.>>732756918>is this game good or not?It's not bad, just don't expect an Isaac-tier masterpiece. If you look at the gameplay and think you'll enjoy it, you'll probably enjoy it. It won't amaze you but it won't be bad.
>>732736394the nortubel of edmond mcmillan
Is there metaprogression or is it good from the start?
>>732759103It's simple, but in my opinion, the game gives you more tools to play with in the first couple of hours than some of the other tactics games I've played. Early game progression seems to be focused around finding equipment that can be used across runs. Guessing that later game progression will involve more breeding.
>>732736394Poop funny :D
>>732737986its "just" into the breach again
>>732737252? gender cats are just this game's equivalent of Ditto, since they can be bred with anything
>15 years later>people still getting mad at poo poo pee peeIt's just too high brow for some people.
>>732759951More like>15 years later>All you can do is STILL poo poo pee pee
>>7327600342deep4u
Anyone get the psychosis mental illness? The cat gets a billion turns and starts going apeshit attacking everyone once you kill a single unit, nearly lost the run to that shit
I don't like the the dialouges with the pipe people. Quit yapping and give me the upgrade. I don't care about your grandma.
>>732760034What else do you need?
>>732736394i liked it
>>732736394>13 years in the making>it fucking sucksn-nooo fellow blast havers, n-not like this... the wholesome chungus gentle giant promised it's his magnum opus...
>>732736394Is it designed the same way Isaac is where one item can ruin your run because you can't know what it does unless you have a wiki open?If yes then it's dogshit design and won't bother with it.
>>732760203How about more cum? hardly ever any cum.
>>732760417it's certified wikislop
>>732760034>dood you have to elevate your humorlol get pooped on nerd
>>732760417Every item describes exactly what it does.
>>732760565It's not even that, is just that he is one note.
>>732736394The game is shitty roguelike (tautology), but at least it has soul like Slay the Spire.
>>732760034Alright, let's see what modern humor has to offer...>6 7!!!!...Nevermind.
>>732760664>Every item describes exactly what it does.There's a skill that says "using this will have permanent consequences" and nothing more.
>>732760763Which item is it?Is it obtained the same way as the bow you get from the fag or is it a random drop?
>>732736394beside the art style, nothing really special
>>732760870I would switch art style for music.
>>732760803It's a skill, not an item. It's called "ultimate secret fire attack" or something, I don't remember.
>>732759347Agreed. Most tactic games ramp up too slowly and lack variety. Usually all the mechanics are introduced from the start and classes have 3 sub versions max.Not here tho, all my cats were very different so far, makes you think on your feet, instead of going for meta every time.
>>732738828every single thing about this game has been shilled by people who need to get onto the good side of the creator of isaac, after all, he is the god indie game dev right? Despite people trashing his updates and his other games, he has to be the good guy in every story right?
3274277332746098Samefag, keep replying to yourself. It's not obvious at all or anything. Art style sucks. Gameplay sucks. Plenty of turn based strategy games are better than this trash. Into the breach for example. Keep seething.
>>732740405im so tired
>>732754124>Just catsCats, especially in large quantities are disgusting creatures, The level of filth is on brand and extremely fitting for the setting.
>>732736394The truth is that tactics games were never that good. They are the best as vehicles for stories about war, but the gameplay is overrated.
>>732754074Nigga thats a hardware problem
If you got into this game not expecting something spiritually combining tabletop DnD and MTG with lowbrow cat sex you haven't been paying attention to Edmund's tastes over the past 15 years.
>>732736394did chris chan really voice a cat? hes claiming he did. anyone have a clip of it if he did?https://x.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/2021589045789278536
>>732763973He did. Credited as Christine Chandler because Ed isnt interested in causing unnecessary drama.
>>732764368>Ed isnt interested in causing unnecessary dramahe raped his mom though? why have him at all lol
>>732764623Because it's fun to have a bunch of freaks be immortalized in a freaky cat game doing a bunch of meowing.
