The gameplay seems fun but the retarded edgelord teenager le epic grotesque meatcanyon art style is repulsive and entirely removes all desire to play. >b..but McChudden predates mea.. I don't care, nigger is pushing 50 and needs to grow up

>>734203025The thing is, you can re-invent the wheel.The game is good example how game studios forget that just having rock solid fundamental and razor sharp game design is enough to make a game good, even great.

Show me one free Newgrounds game as large and elaborate as Mewgenics is.
>>734204856
>>734202329Getting tripped up by graphical styles like this is a sign of retardation
>>734204969No it's not. A games graphics are important. It's a VISUAL medium, if you don't like the style why would you want to spend prolonged periods looking at it. People like (YOU) are usually the same ones seething that a game was produced in UE5 or hyper realism. It doesn't matter how fun someone tells you the game is, if it looks like shit to you then you won't enjoy it.
>>734205212I'll play anything. I'll play an anime game that gets laughed out of a room by dudebro military shooter fans.
>>734205212It looks like every other Ed Mcmillen game. You don't have to like it but it doesn't look bad for his style of games.
>>734205289As long as your consistent with your opinion then it's fine. I'm just on the opposite end of the spectrum where I think if the visuals are a turn off then it's fine to not like the game. Regardless of if it's realism, anime grotesque, cutesy etc.
>>734205403>I'm just on the opposite end of the spectrum where I think if the visuals are a turn off then it's fine to not like the gameYes you're on the side that would not play a game because it was anime or western styled
>>734205486I wouldn't play a game that doesn't appeal to me visually, yes. I don't like his flash/newgrounds adjacent style I didn't like it in any of his games so I skipped them. I have a wide taste so it's not something as broad as "western or anime" and usually on a game by game basis.
>>734204856>large and elaborateAt it's core the game is simple and straightforward, everything else is just fluff that could be added to any game just given time.

>>734202329The Binding of Isaac was a paid flash game that released on Steam in 2011. You have no idea what you're talking about retard.
>>734202329That would literally be impossible to create in Flash on a mechanical level. Just because it's made to look like Flash animation doesn't mean it's actually developed with it.

are hard mode unlocks in act 1 only for Throbing King, not for Spider and Dybbuk?

>>734209687>-100 statsWhat did you DO?
>>734211592I did not know thatNeat
>>734202329I unlocked Act 3, did the sidequests to progress further and I feel like I am done, I dont really wanna bother with the rest of act 3.If they made the house part more manageable and added QOL features, maybe made runs a bit shorter I would be in but for now I am done.Still I got like 80 hours of gameplay out of my 30 dolla so im not complaining

>>734212242Ye from what I read Act 3 really needs some proper cats.So far I did everything with strays and random kittens but as runs get longer and longer I dont really want to set up myself for failure from the getgo.Especially with some of the classes that give like -2 to some stats, with my random ass kittens that means starting at 3 constitution >>734212306niggaaaa this bot is broken, israel really needs to fix their language model this shit CANT read

I think Edmund got kinda lazy with the instant kills in act 3, it's dull design.I haven't wiped in Lab but it's annoying for team building
Here is what I want fixed: why the fuck does that little kid doesn't sell new furniture every day?I got two thousand coins, I gotta wait 7 days for that cunt to give me new furniture and it's always shit like "+1 to Appeal", even after I've completed his quest and gave him like 4 extra levels of cats on top.Bitch where are my +2s, +3s and +4s?I'm glad your grandma's dead.

I don't get itnever worked
>>734213124You roll him like ball into enemy
>>734202329The most in-depth RPG I remember from the flash era is Sonny 2 and Mewgenics mogs it.
>>734202329I don't even like mewgenics but I see people with 50 ~ 200 hours for that $30 bucks and it looks likeit has a lot of stuff to do in it.Now compare this to AAA games that are getting close to $100 and there is only one way to play and a playthrough is less than 10 hours. RE9 might be an incredible looking game graphically, but when you shoot a water cooler nothing happens at all. No texture change, no bullet hole, nothing. The game pretends you didn't do anything. That shouldn't be acceptable for that price range. (Note: RE9 is fun to play but clearly AAA game development in 2026 has serious issues which were not a thing in the past.)

>>734213284Ahh, they love it, they love it.
That robo-pebbles in the last house fight is a goddamn menace and needs a tooltip that says "after getting hit, kills your fucking cat on their turn" It's brutal especially since it's the last one that shows up in the fight so even if you learn from it you had to do the long ass fight before it.
>>734213284Some of my cats used to have a cool (eye)brow mutation, but the last cat that had it died on a mission yesterday. No game has ever made me feel so much loss.

>>734213618I got pretty decent use out of it with a Hunter buddy.Being ranged he could spend his move getting in the right position, which is usually the problem with the move.
>>734206795Nah, I like stuff like the art style in the HK games, FTL, Into the Breach, Elden Ring, all of Team ICO. But I can't play McMillen's stuff.
>>734212936it looks like you are about to throw the enemy next to you it wouldn't give you the target tiles otherwise retard
>>734213339Gross can't be cute. This game has the worst art style ever alongside isaac and is full of repulsive subject matter like eating poo. It is 0/10 regardless of all other factors.
>>734215401You can hide it all you like, we all know the truth.
>brace>fire>damage up, health down>third pawEasiest combo, prove me wrong.
how many sidequest doc items are there in total?
they really put all the good songs in act 1 huh
>>734215659ice is easier because it just wastes time and does no damage
>>734215765Yeah, and all the great songs are in act 2
>>734202329do zoomers really think that free flash games were like this?
>>734214123Those all have very milquetoast artstyles though
my first trip to the moon went perfectfirst i found a new cat after losing my thief to the crater bossand then i got eat rocks+ on my tank making the final boss trivial, never saw stats this high beforeIs psychic fun?
>>734215765So high is up there
>>734215945Yes, but it benefits more from breeding skills than most classes due to basically having +6 CHA.It's a support that can sometimes be your carry. Like Mage but not shitty.
>>734215659I do thorns because act 3 requires 2+ ranged anyway. Might as well do actual damage while one melee gets poked.

>>734216998you actually need to have above room temperature IQ to get past the lab

>>734216479tarred disaster spiral I guess
>>734217718Absolutely baffling how many people are filtered the minute you aren't allowed to jist mindlessly run up and hit things.
So I brought cats with the passive that auto-kills an enemy to the last boss and he summoned his adds after I used my passives, and they copied the skill and killed my cats. That's nice.
>>734216998It’s really far into the game. I just got to the lab and I’m not eager to make a second trip just yet.
The most expensive part that took the most talent and effort was the music.
>>734215765Act 1 has the worst songs what are you smoking? Act 2 is back to back bangers and Act 3 has some good shit.
Just incase anyone wonders, you do not get the unlock for a class if they explode in the boss fight.
>>734211946Failed event in Lab, got Immortality on my tank. All damage -1 but every damage gives injuries. Decided to continue. Then Hitler blew up everyone except this tank.
>>734202424Extremely basic roguelike srpg. I can only assume that most of the people glazing it are Isaac fans who've never played a srpg before because there's nothing new or interesting here. Even if this game had come out 10-20 years ago, it wouldn't be innovative or original.Glad I didn't pay for it.
>>734203025>>734220323is this bait or have you guys only played the alleyi keep seeing people saying it's "extremely basic" or "very simple" as if it doesn't have a bunch of dynamic interactions
Head preserved.
>>734220417That's what they call "trolling" or "ragebaiting", anon. To say things just to get attention.
just finished Ice-Age and so far Act 3 hasnt been as people made it out to be. especially since I only had mediocre cats
>>734220642the lab is harder than the past or future imo
>>734220880having a decent hunter and good equipment gets me through lab easily. I dont need super breed cats for that
>>734220417I already said you people don't have any experience playing games in the genre; you don't need to keep proving it to me.I've played for about 60 hours because I like srpgs but there's nothing new or interesting here, there just aren't any other srpgs that have come out recently. I think you're confusing little pointless fluff interactions with actual strategic depth or difficulty. If you've actually put some time into this game then you know that the only difficulty comes from instakills or removal of control mechanics and that's just bad and lazy design.Can enemies who have a 50% dodge chance and give your cats multiple stacks of confusion every time they attack give you a hard time? Sure. Is it a well designed encounter? No, taking control away from the player, especially in a tactical genre, is always a shit choice. There's nothing fun or challenging about rolling the dice to see if my unit attacks through confusion and hits a high dodge enemy or loses one of both of those rolls and dies.Good srpgs make you think. There's nothing to think about in that situation; you just press a button and maybe it works and maybe it doesn't. The only thing you can really do is know it's coming and prepare for it beforehand but that kind of shit is the very definition of artificial difficulty.
>>734220969lmao someone got owned in caves 2 hours in and came crying here with reddit spacing
>>734220969>taking control away is bad designactual certified reddit opinionyou probably also don't like that many power ups come with downsides
>>734216998Bro thats like 60 hours into the game
>>734205691>that could be added to any game just given time.lollmao
>>734216549Greetings fellow Khajiit.
I can't get runs consistent enough to get money, to get furniture, to get consistently better cats. my best run has been with cats that had 42ish total stat points (before collars or items), and that decimated graveyard. Now the cats I am left with have like 35-36 points, and they're already ass by the first boss. I had a fucking necromancer that was pretty strong but unable to reach any fucking enemy. It's hell. I hope I can stick it out till my furniture is good enough to get cats that are at least all 6's.
>>734220969This nigga died in the caves lmao
>>734220969>Can enemies who have a 50% dodge chance and give your cats multiple stacks of confusion every time they attack give you a hard time? Sure. Is it a well designed encounter? No, taking control away from the player, especially in a tactical genre, is always a shit choice. There's nothing fun or challenging about rolling the dice to see if my unit attacks through confusion and hits a high dodge enemy or loses one of both of those rolls and dies.Holy bait--many, MANY srpgs make you roll through chance on status, on hit, on procs. You're LARPing hard.
>>734221020>lmao someone got owned in caves 2 hours inYou may have missed the part where I said I've got around 60 hours. Just the first thing that came to mind that uses randomness as as crutch for design. I notice you just seethed instead of addressing any of my points.>reddit spacingAnd outing yourself as a newfag, no surprise there.>>734221064You can call it whatever you want but that doesn't make it any less true. Taking away control with no counterplay is bad design, period. It's "difficult" but it's not interesting or fun. Again, if you'd played other srpgs you'd know that fights can be structured in a way that they're difficult without relying on randomness. Into the Breach is a good example, you should give it a try.
>>734221638nice youtube screenshot nigger
>>734221571>many, MANY games have poor and lazy designAgreed.
Is there really no "highlight all" option in battle?
>>734220969>claims to have 60 hours, but his highlight encounter are the fucking bats from act 1You're not fooling anybody retard
>>734221665I accept your concession.
>>734221713Including the games that you are dickriding, bozo. Which games don't roll shit that can disable or outright kill a unit? Xcom does it, FFT does it, TO does it, countless indies like Starvaders, Dream Tactics, Symphony of War and Fell Seal do it. Seriously, what the FUCK is this bait? You're commenting on a genre that you don't even play.
>>734222005I really don't understand why you're simping for this game so hard. There's a difference between using those types of mechanics occasionally and using them exclusively. Name a single encounter in Mewgenics that's difficult without relying on instakills or loss of control mechanics. I haven't encountered any yet.
>>734222451>he hasn't even gotten to spineretteoh no no no no no no no no
>>734222005Damn, I haven't thought of Dream Tactics in a good while. I really liked that game, I should give it another playthrough.
>>734223158>it gets difficult 80 hours inI mean, I'm going to keep playing (mostly because I want to hear all the music) so I guess we'll see but I'm beginning to suspect that this just isn't a genre suited to roguelike mechanics. If you want actual intelligent, challenging srpg battles then they need to be carefully crafted rather than rng slop, but I suppose we already knew that.
>>734222451Everything in the desert outside of a single miniboss, the core path for the most part, the boneyard path of act 1, the house bosses, and Ice age outside of Bunga are all areas that don't depend on taking player control away to present a challenge, but your entire opinion is based on half of act 1. No more responses.>>734223469Yeah, this made me go back to it as I got filtered hard at that nightmare castle map or wherever the fuck
>>734223851it shouldn't take you 80 hours to get to the caves, retardspinerette isn't an RNG battle at all but will push your shit in if you aren't carefulsame with dybbuk, but you probably consider that "taking control away" even though you have total control over which cat gets possessed and whenjohnny, bumblefoot, marshmallow, the abandoned ones...these are just bosses and minibosses, there are plenty of random encounters that CAN be very difficult depending on how your run is going'and none of this addresses my original point, which is that the game has a ton of shit going on, tons of decisions to make, lots of environmental interactivity; it's not "extremely basic" regardless of how difficult it is
>>734223851The only rng with the maps are their rotation as they are all hand-crafted with the main variables being weather and elite modifiers. You don't understand the game at all, but have these bold opinions. You're a moron.
>>734224119He hasn't been to the Future yet so he doesn't even know about elite modifiers. He's literally complaining that the easy part of the game is too easy.
>>734202329>What has happened to modern gaming that this is seen as acceptable?Aaa games are barely tech demos. Just look at star wars. The game with the rat
>>734202329Game's apparently basic. Does this show us that consoomers are buying it because they like the dev or is the trpg genre massively undervalued.
>>734224336>Game's apparently basic.it's not thougha big part of the appeal is the massive amount of build variety
>>734224336This is the type of game ive been waiting for. Idgaf that its steakmund or that its cats, but i love the early game progression of tactics games and usually lose intetest after the characters builds are mostly finalized. This game lets me play the early game build creation every run
>>734224336Game is so basic less than 5% of the players made it past the 9th to last challenge in the game>less than 12% made it past the class tutorial that is act 2
>>734224561Thats most games.
>>734202329I was not prepared to jump straight into the throbbing domain after an incredibly mediocre Caves run. I just wanted to see what happened after you drop off the head.
>>734224438That's a must for any trpg imho. Doesn't mean it's not basic.>>734224527That's due to boring rpg mechanics. Just look at postgame tor.>early gameMaybe that's the strong point of rogue~>>734224561Ridiculous, kek
>>73422469450% beat yakuza games
>>734225038>That's a must for any trpg imho. Doesn't mean it's not basic.what the hell do you think "basic" meansthere's an insane amount of content and variety in the game and most of it is meaningfully distinct from similar content
>>734224971What's in there. I have a quest to take Gullotinna's head there.
>>734225415it's two pretty difficult random encounters with a unique encounter table and new enemies, followed by a relatively easy boss battle that's basically a stat check
>>734223962>are all areas that don't depend on taking player control away to present a challengeBut none of those areas are challenging. Are you just fucking with me?>your entire opinion is based on half of act 1I posted my progress so now you're just being disingenuous. >>734224072lmao wait wait, you're talking about the end bosses of act 1? See, this is what I'm talking about, you guys haven't played shit in this genre and you have no clue. There is absolutely dead zero difficulty in anything in act 1, rng or not.>>734224190>He hasn't been to the Future yetsee>>734221638So far it's just more rng thrown on top. Adding random buffs to enemies in the same old battles makes them "harder" but not in a very engaging way. And I say all this while having completely ignored anything to do with breeding so I'm probably already playing on "hard" mode compared to most people who've probably spent a lot of time breeding up super cats.>>734224336100% people are buying it because of Isaac. You can really tell that most people aren't playing it because they're fans of the genre but because they're fans of the developer. No reason you'd get these absurdly defensive replies like >>734224561 if it were just another game to them. Fanboys gonna fanboy.
>>734224694Yuh huh. This game is a good 80 hours long and sold millions too. It was a very basic and easy game. You'd think people would be finished and have moved on if the game was that basic, right?
>>734225538>pointing out facts is being absurdly defensiveYeah, you're trolling.
>>734225538What exactly do you think "difficult" means? The game isn't balanced so that every battle has a high chance of ending your 2-hour run, sure. Is that what you're looking for...?
>>734204736Because you were not born yet zoomie
>>734220969imo you can describe combat systems on a sliding scale, where on one end the fun comes from learning and mastering a single system and on the other end the fun comes from piecing together builds from a gigantic variety of options. you can't really do both, as having to accommodate a wide variety of builds by necessity means you can't do anything super specific or specialized with your combat system because you might make certain challenges impossible to complete (or way too easy) for certain builds. "serious" srpgs if you wanna call them that are probably way closer to the "mastery" end than the "variety" end, whereas mewgenics is way closer to the variety endat the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with either approach and it's purely a matter of personal preference. i've seen srpg buffs say they're frustrated about the overall simplicity of the game's combat while buildfags (like myself) praise all the dumb shit you can end up doing. the last time i played xcom 2 and battle for wesnoth was several years ago so i can't really say how it compares
>>734225538You never post your tube though. You do this in every thread. Shut the fuck up, stop whining and play those other trpgs you love so much. You are the biggest baby on this board.
>>734225791cringe unc
>>734225806>you can't really do bothdivinity original sin 2 disproves this (tho i guess it technically isn't a srpg)
>>734225538Roguelite devs not understanding what makes a genre work... A tale as old as time.
>>734225773I find it interesting that all of this game's detractors are trpg vets with 1000+ hours in IttB who ironmanned LUCT with no recruits and made it through mewgenics with no challenge or wipes whatsoever. Yet they complain about bat confusion. Really gets my noggin joggin'.
>>734226242I think the death-by-a-thousand-cuts design where fucking up once can gradually snowball into a lost run, but can just as easily be recovered from if you play smart (or get lucky), is throwing people for a loop
