>>738268037>>738268331As someone who played both Morhta and Hark the Ghoul, I have to say that the games aren't particularly difficult. They're worldbuilding is fun and interesting though but its a shame that the gameplay doesn't challenge you. The level designs are nice but tend to become empty hallways and set pieces. That being said, Im going to keep trying these games because I still find it interesting to explore. I have an eye on this one for when it releases even if it turns out to have the same issues.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3849000/The_Lantern_of_the_Laughless_Saint/

I'm surprised both Chaos Galaxy games still fall into hidden gem status but here we are. They're games where you plot to dominate the galaxy, combining the map painting of the Nobunaga's Ambition series with SRPG combat. They're made by a solo dev Chinaman who has put a lot of love into it, creating about a hundred characters, writing lore blurbs for them and the planets you conquer, and making sure every faction in the game feels unique to play and fight against. CG1 is a much more simplistic game than CG2, so if you're new to the franchise you might just want to skip to 2.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1184840/Chaos_Galaxy/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1537910/Chaos_Galaxy_2/

>>738281309Oh shit thanks. Added space impossible and sector space to my wishlists.
>hidden gems thread>1000+ review game that made almost a million dollars already in the OPSo nice of you OP to make it clear that your thread is dogshit.
>>738277930bookmark the archive link
>>738282404the bookmark will just get lumped with all my other bookmarks i havent looked at for over a decade
>>738282468it saves mammary glands from keeping another tab upi need to go through my bookmarks myself honestly
>>738281836>Oh shit thanks. Added space impossible and sector space to my wishlists.They're both great.Space Impossible is super tightly designed, quite slow progression but something pretty special. He's been working on it for an insanely long time, but it's due for full release pretty soon so it's a great time to check it out and Sector Space is almost like a top down X4, very sandboxy and despite being procedural it still manages to retain a fantastic sense of exploration and progression, lots of great itemization, station building, mining, manufacturing, a bit of fleet management etc so you're not just buzzing around the galaxy solo etc, you could easily sink 50 hours into it at the moment with what's there and the dev is pretty active.
>>738268037is this trooncore? i just want these games but without a literal troon developer
>>738268037not a gem but I'd like to shill my indie gameit has goblins, and soon it'll also have a demo!>https://tintodev.itch.io/project-goblin

>>738283090>shortstack goblinsthat's reserved for a spin-off I have planned for the N64. This one won't have goblinas, just human women and monster women like harpies, succubus and that kind of stuff
>>738281367I liked it, specially the combat, but the lack of any kind of story ended up making it boring for me. Might give it another chance but not sure...
>>738282935this is like refusing to eat a pizza cause you hate italians
>>738283753pizza is an american concept tho and I did have breakfast this morning
>>738283020You can shill your game when you release the demo anon.WHERE IS THE DEMO
>>738283780can you rotate an apple in your head though
>>738284079soon! I just have to finish this demon-looking boss for the demo content to be complete. Webm still have a lot of missing effects, those attacks are supposed to be a rain of lightning bolts and a fire punch that creates a wave you have to jump over
>>738284301Cool daimon clone.Does he do the big succ?
>>738284464nope, since there's nothing to succ (no pawns). For a big attack I was thinking of making him cast a meteor swarm that keeps on raining as the fight goes on once he's down to 1/3 of his life
>>738284301I like the player attack animations but the demon telegraphing seems kind of awkward. Like he swngs his arms out in front of him when his wings flap back and it makes it look like hes about to fire a laser at you like a DBZ character. But its actually nothing.I only mention this because I think 80% of making a boss fun is having intuitive animations that activate reptile brain instead of having to memorize them like dark souls' approach to boss animations. Not to say yours is anywhere near that level of uninuitive, but it looks he would actually be easier to fight if you sped him up and you could operate on pure reflex.
Anyone got any flight sim recs?
>>738280878>dystopic foreign worldLMAO, it's Finland.
>>738285282thanks for the feedback anon, appreciate it! just ot make sure you are talking about the animation at 0:09 right after landing the jump? I could review that landing and make it more "neutral" so it's just a landing and leaves no window of doubt
Whilst I also shill for obenseuer like some of the other anons a massive disclaimer needs to be mentioned in that it's very likely a never ever EA forever hell game.It's fun now but progress is glacial and I'd be very surprised if it got finished before 2028 if at all.Buyer beware and all that.
>>738285541Not that anon but I think the animation at 0:15 is pretty odd
>>738285436nuclear option but you've probably played that already
>>738283020i always like seeing your webmslooks like you're really trying to make a fun game
>>738268037are there any other diablo 1 clones like tower of kalemonvo? or arpg monster slaughter games like baldurs gate dark alliance or dungeon siege?
>>738270113He said hidden gems, not shovelslop
>>7382855410:07. I was watching and it felt pretty intuitive but then thought "I wonder how much of that is just the debug text TELLING me what hes doing" and tried to ignore it and imagine myself playing, I instinctively went to dodge when he jumped back because the way he flung his arms out in front of him made it look like he was going to shoot some fuckoff big beam at me.As to the timing aspect specifically, the last blue punch thing has a clear telegraph when he kind of cuffs his own arm, and then there's an indeterminate amount of time he holds it there. Your delay isn't so obnoxiously long, but there's no intuitive tell as to how long the delay is going to be.The fight looks like a lot of fun, just something to keep in mind I guess. Big demon = make him a bit slow is an obvious thing to grasp for, but keep in mind that the more you slow him down, the more mindful you have to be about the timing cues of his telegraphing.You can compare say ninja gaiden to any of the modern ARPGs, again I'll shamelessly point to the dark souls series here just because its entire identity is built off of this, and in my opinion its what lead to the "artificial difficulty" label. Ninja gaiden has things super easy to dodge because althought you've got as little as 0.1 seconds to do something about it, the band is only from maybe 0.1 second to 0.4 second so its easy to guess where in that range your timing lies. Whereas an attack with a 1 second minimum reaction time sounds easy to dodge but if you haven't memorized that a particular attack is 1.4 seconds, then (if the game has a tendency to have telegraph periods from 1 to 4 seconds for example) then you have a very big range you have to guess.
Been playing Eye of the Commando a bit.Its a turn based dungeon crawler where you play as a 80's action movie guy. Made by the same dev as Dungeonmans, which is also a pretty good traditional roguelike.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3016480/Eye_of_the_Commando/
Unreal World
>>738286291Also, would be nice if some part of the cue for the lightning cast animation actually sync'd up with the first lightning strike, and with a decisive movement. That way the player can build up an intuition for when they should be dodging without having to actually stare at the ground.The floor punch probably has a similar issue to the blue punch, I can't immediately tell when he's actually going to do it.I might be applying a different lens here than what you're going for. If you want the fight to be something you have to "learn" as opposed to being something you can just one-shot then you can disregard all this.
>>738268158This game is not worth the price. Its worth the play through. Wish the game had more content. The next game looks like shit and I think the dev is a troon so support at your own risk. Troon aside I think we should support more kings field likes.
>>738283656I honestly thought I'd mind that more than I did, but the combat, while not compelling by itself, is the main draw. The being able to build and shape stuff how you want and arrange a truly interesting team was cool as hell. Also, the exploration is fun and there's a ton of weird, hidden shit.>>738285524That's exactly what I said.
>>738270714I have and I've enjoyed it so far. Difficulty is reasonable, neither too hard or easy. Got my ass beat by the third boss. Your hub town can be upgraded as you progress. Different gear actually shows up on your sprite, which is nice. Solo party only afaik, but you eventually get combat pets, that have their own progression The OST is good too.
>>738285892there's a missing transition there, between just standing and doing the punch. Maybe that's what makes it odd?>>738285986thanks anon! I need to up my level design but I think I'm learning. Demo will be quite linear since it's just the prologue but I hope to be able to make some cool dungeons for later on. Goal is to have many of them with most being optional>>738286291>fuckoff big beamthose will never happen without a nice amount of particles and lights letting you know that he's about to cast a spell, but I get what you mean. We are humans and seeing an enemy point their arms at us is a clear sign of danger, so I'll review that anim and try to make it look less dangerous. Or maybe not, it's just a small scare after all and once you see it once you'll never think of it as something dangerous. Decisions...>no intuitive tell as to how long the delay is going to beagree! it's missing some particle effects like the ones on webmrel. Plus maybe a "charge sound" cue that goes from slow to faster to signal that something's about to blow up>the more you slow him down, the more mindful you have to be about the timing cues of his telegraphingtrue. It won't be too slow nor too fast, and most of the attacks can be blocked with the shield anyway so I hope some of the melee attacks being kinda fast won't be an issue, until you learn them and are able to avoid them without wasting the stamina of blocking with the shield (stamina doesn't recover super fast so it has to be managed)>>738286737>fire punchthere's a missing fire effect on his punch. Maybe I could make the fire glow right before he throws the punch downwards, to signal that it's about to do that. I believe that could work.Many, many thanks for all the feedback anon. I think the fight's fun right now but it's true that I need to improve the telegraphing of some of those attacks.
TerraTech Legiontank lego vampire survivors.
>>738286983>Maybe I could make the fire glow right before he throws the punch downwards, to signal that it's about to do that. I believe that could work.Yep. That sounds perfect. Bonus points if the fire effect has some kind of ramping multiplier on an exponential curve (that of course stop growing right as he does the slam), that way you can judge the time until impact based on the rate that the effect is "changing".
No wonder these games are hidden, you guys really suck at advertising. I'm not clicking on a link just because you post it.
>>738280338based, I will now consider your recommendations
Regions of Ruin: RunegateDwarf sidescrolling rpg.
>>738280338Cool unearthed gems, meltybro
>>738286983>most of the attacks can be blocked with the shield anywayYeah fair enough. I mean most of the action games I play have some kind of perfect guard or parry mechanic so I'm wired to be timing my guards, but if your game is less stingy about what you can just block then you've definitely got a lot more freedom in your animations.Its great to see how much you're considering this kind of thing. Excited to play the demo.
>>738287145K
>>738287073nice! I added it to my notes so I don't forget to do it in that way once I implement the fire effect on the demon's fist>>738287306thanks! I'm trying to have a clear set of rules so the game doesn't feel like bullshit. So for blocking, you can block any melee attack and any projectile magical or not, but you can't block any beams/lasers nor any aoe effects like explosions or the fire punch's wave
>>738283020Everytime I see this game I want to play Maximo again for some strange reason.
>>738278915really enjoyed this game, wish the map guy was in the way more often. I beat it with missing a couple things, and have been blitzing through in Hero mode and Dingle has only been along my path twice, and the first time was when he introduces himself at the start of the game.
>>738287649For me its Brightis.I wonder if the lack of an english translation is the only thing that puts anons off. It feels like the kind of game that really should be a /v/ cult classic.Consider it a shilled hidden gem but you're going to have to download a ROM for it.
>>738287263oh yeah i played the demo of that earlier this year and wishlisted itcompletely forgot about it
>>738287752Anything of worth to be called a cult classic will have someone dedicated enough to commission a fan translation that lasts 15 years.
>>738287649I need to finish that game. Loved how the first chick I rescued offered me some rewards and one of them was a kiss (I took the kiss)>>738287752hey! Brightis my "favorite game I've never played" and it sure is an inspiration for my game. It looks so damn cool! Hopefuly we'll get a patch some day, heard the latest attempt ended up in nothing...>>738287884there's been several attempt as far as I know, but they always end up in nothing
>>738287752Looks like it has all the janky soul of a ps1 game. Too bad about the lack of any translations, I can't read sun runes.
>>738277625Verho is much longer
>>738287884>>738287961Yeah I'm not really sure why Brightis wasn't well received on release. I suspect the straight forward sword and board adventure wasn't appreciated as much then as it is now, given the current lack of unassuming sword and board adventures.>>738288020I can't either; its a very simple game and there was only one place I got stuck, I had to find a sword that could break some ice barrier and I spent absolutely forever trying to find it before realising I actually already had it, I just didn't know because I couldn't read any of the weapon descriptions.Honestly even if it had a fan translation, I'm glad I played it without one. Not being able to read any of the dialog or the instructions made it feel like I was a kid again, not knowing what the hell any of this shit was and just exploring and having no idea if I was walking into a dead end or about to fall into some great big dungeon and get hopelessly clobbered. Some dude rocks up and I have no idea if he's my enemy or my friend. I think of him as my friend but it turns out he's my enemy and vice versa. It was very exciting.

>>738289186Do you think Terraria is like Noita too? Lol.
>>738289534He's going through tunnels in caves shooting colored beams at enemies, collecting power ups, choosing perks, the color palette is obviously an intentional nod towards Noita, you're either the dumbest human being to have ever lived who cannot possibly fathom that not having identical gameplay =/= not having similar gameplay, or you're being intentional retarded for the sake of proving to a sea of nameless, faceless people that you have 'taste' that precludes including anything that isn't exact from your criteria. Either way, take my earlier advice of killing yourself.

>>738290081feel free to checkout my twatter, I post most updates there:>https://x.com/tinto_gamedevthis last month has been slow (fell sick, then took a little rest) but I expect to make a lot of progress and probably have the demo ready by June
>>738289697The game was bad, therefore it cannot possibly be similar to Noita.
>>738290124Unironically there should be a system for devs to get some amount of the money a video about their game makes. The video wouldn't have been made without their work, and it would discourage the endless clickbaiting hate videos because they'd be accidentally sending money to the thing they hate. I think this would instantly fix a lot of issues with the current youtuber landscape.
>>738286410I own this game but I've never played it.I keep waiting for them to finally add marriage and children.I really need an indie gem I can play for dozens of hours right now though.
It's not hidden going off the actual reviews on steam but nobody on /v/ ever talks about it.
>>738271609damn that looks fantastic
>>738290592So, the second one, then. Got it. Then go farm karma on a website that tracks who you are, you attention-seeking, cromagnon retard. Nobody here gives a fuck as to whether or not you're so vibio goim cultured that something that *DEIGNS* to fancy itself after your precious LOL WIZARD game could POSSIBLY be seen as anything other than facile.
>>738288782It's randomly generated caves that are highly destructible (not at the voxel level but but pretty close) with consistent item/part interaction that leads to weird combos and no meta progression aside from the story. I'd say that hits the big draws of Noita aside from the cryptic side content.
I know there's Colorgrave shills in these threads, how'd Claire a la Mode turn out?
>>738278201Looks pretty neat. I'll probably give it a go.I love indie games bros. I say it every time I see one of these threads, but I've played quite a lot in the past few years, and so many of them have been great. Gaming is not dead, not even remotely.
>>738291341AAA is dying but I'm not going to miss it
>>738290913>they're making exanima-likes nowmaybe this game will get stuck in early access hell for 10 years too
Tower defense game, except instead of placing turrets around, they're all mounted on a single giant freak who walks around.You help him by slamdunking fireballs from your flying broom you surf on.Beautiful soundtrack, interestingly strange setting with a surprising amount of worldbuilding, and an optional conlang that is fully voice-acted and sounds surprisingly good. Highly recommend.

Not sure its hidden persay, but intravenous 2 is the best stealth tactical game in years
I started up A Song of Sunlight earlier. Three hours in and it's seeming pretty impressive for a free game, the story is still being released in pieces but I don't know if I'm anywhere near the end. If you're willing to give it a shot without looking at anything on the store page, then the slight change in genre feels like a big twist.If you're not willing to do so, it's a 2D turn-based souls-like set on and in a Blame!-esque megastructure. The combat mostly boils down to QTEs, but there's layers of strategy and you're given only a few seconds to execute your turn so the pace is fast and brutal.My main criticism is how dialogue-heavy it is, but the writing is competent at least.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2263250/A_Song_Of_Sunlight/>>738294028>stealth tacticalI ended up playing it the same way I played Intravenous 1 and Mercanarism, by starting a huge firefight at the first defensible point I find in the level (often the starting point) and saving if I manage to kill over half. Only time I stealthed was on that level with the normal cops patrolling apartments.It feels like a waste of perfectly good stealth systems, but goddamn do I love my AK-103

Someone in one of these threads recommended pic related to me a few years ago and it turned out to be one of my favorite games. It's not really a metroid game like the tags would lead you to think, it's a zelda 2-like. The screenshots on the store page don't really do the environments justice, either.

I originally thought it'd be a short run due to all the 2-3 hour reviews, but after playing I realized there were a lot of 15 hour reviews too.

>>738298042>doubling downCan’t say I’m surprised that you’d be stubborn enough to do so.
Play dungeon drafter, it is my favorite roguelike, mainly because it doesn't actually feel like a roguelike.
I want to make a game about a large, bulky medieval man who discovers a little girl from the future with magical powers in a vast, hidden valley unknown to mankind. She has the ability to alter the environment, and use light magic. As they explore, reality begins to shift strangely, and dark creatures emerge -seeking to capture her. While she can cleanse these corrupted beings with her light magic, she needs the protection and strength of the bulky warrior to fight them off. The setting is quiet and serene, and the girl is portrayed as very cute and melancholic yet still enaging with the man."

>>738280338>Hero's Adventure is a tactical RPG with a wuxia settingWhile I agree with your meltdown overall, this surely doesn't qualify as a hidden gem. Everyone loves this game. Maybe I just spend too much time in Wuxia/Xanxia threads but I feel like Hero's Adventure gets recommended all the time (honorable mention to Wandering Sword, Tale of Immortal, Immortal Life, Ho Tu Lo Shu, Sword and Fairy 7, and Windstop Strategy if any Wuxiafags are looking for more). Anyway, I wanna recommend Mudborne. Some anon suggested it in the last hidden gem thread I visited and it was really good. It's a game about breeding frogs with specific abilities to solve puzzles, which allows you to unlock more mechanics, greater automation, more in-depth genetics. It feels like Harvest Moon/Stardew etc but there isn't really any farming. Don't know how better to explain it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2355150/Mudborne_Frog_Management_Sim/
>>738301308player and enemies get stuck on terrain that's mostly flat, you can easily get pushed out of bounds by certain attacksalso maps are really fucking small and linear which defeats the whole purpose of these games it's just nostalgia wank and controls like shit to boot
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1141290/Tactical_Nexus/This game looks like vomit but it really grows on you in my opinion. It's basically giant puzzle boxes where you try to get high scores for medals where the score is determined by your hp and other stats at the end of the floor, then you get medals based on how well you did that let you buy things that help you try to get better scores, etc. It is like cocaine.
>>738301439nta but damn that sounds like shit. Sucks because I wanted to try it out soon
>>738302509I might be a bit harsh on the game but I really wanted to like it and I don't think all nostalgia wank is without meritjust something about how it controls rubbed me the wrong way and you can try the demo and see if you like the map design/controls just keep in mind it doesn't really peak much higher after that
>>738281309Sector Space looks like it has potential. Graphics look like ass though.How is it compared to Star Valor and 3030 Deathwar? The latter has my recommendation.

Always happy to shill Cavalry Girls. 2d mech shooter where the devs threw literally every cool idea they could find in and it somehow just works. The game rewards trying to build the most broken loadouts possible and at high diff challenge mode that's mandatory to not get filtered.

>>738268119FPBP
>>738301597This game always looked super schizophrenic to me in a good way. Didn't know it went f2p, didn't the developer want to double the price of it every year?
>>738290819I find once you get your deer kill the game because easy from the abundance of meat, you dry your meat out etc.Last I played I found the spirit of the forest which was cool. But the game's difficulty drops off a lot. At the start you're basically in constant survival mode, but once you have backup food you're set. Kind of like the start of an isekai.

>>738290819>>738311457I will say I hate the hotkey system unless he changed it in the last 4 years. It's annoying to use the full keyboard for everything.
>>738308461It's alright, definitely a DOOM clone. Neat art, shooting can be a little clunky but lots of enemies, weapons and environments. It chugs like a motherfucker in some boss fights though, but that's probably just my PC.
>>738278915I recently started this and I like what I have seen so far. LTTP vibes for gameplay with a little bit of Crono Trigger in the OST.Character sprites seem too simple compared to the rest of the environment (I feel like FF1 sprites had more detail) which sucks because you're going to be looking at yourself all the time but the rest of the art seems okay.
>>738299924I'll play your game one day promise but not today

>>738296303keep trying.
>>738310568The original Steam store description was an absolute schizo text about pretty much justifying the price of the game. Did them no good, only after they chilled the fuck out and put the first chapter for free it finally got some traction going. The game itself is pretty fucking great, the ultimate tower of the sorcerer clone, by genuine autists for genuine autists.

>>738323202the exploration is pretty cool, i found a few different nooks to explore even in the very first area.for example there was a poison spell in the instakill poison lake, and said poison lake rises up and down so i had to time my jump and get in and out fastcombat seems basic but serviceable, then again i only encountered 3 enemies, one of which was a weirdo eyeball i actually had to juke out and time my attacks

>>738303358>Sector Space looks like it has potential. Graphics look like ass though.>How is it compared to Star Valor and 3030 Deathwar? The latter has my recommendation.Sector Space is my favourite of the three for sure and i'd say it honestly looks the best of the three.Star Valor is eh, very generic, has that early 2000's GPU box art look to it, and it's too "you're the hero" -esque for me, you just pilot one ship, don't build a fleet etc, I prefer just the low key sandbox X-like approach where I can just do my own thing.3030 Deathwar is good, but it's very story focussed, controls are a bit jank and the art is an absolute clusterfuck of mspaint tier shit that I can't hate enough. A lot of people think it gives it personality, I think it just looks like blurry vomit and clashing art assets. The game itself is good though if you want a mix of space/old school point and click.

>>738342147Yeah, you're encouraged to make it as symmetrical as possible due to Mexican beliefs about holy symmetry, it adds a fun gameplay loop where you're designing smaller symmetrical neighborhoods and planning larger scale symmetry of the entire city at the same time, though it doesn't really need to be 100% symmetrical as the screenshot shows
>>738342250>No imageI shalln't be clicking your link.
>>738340661It's pretty cool. Kinda falls off in the last quarter due to repetitiveness and just being a bit overly long but it's still worth playing even if you don't finish it. Gameplay-wise it isn't anything special but the exploration is nice, the atmosphere is unmatched, and the music is amazinghttps://youtu.be/q6Cr70QpjqMWill definitely leave an impression
>>738342281can't wait for deer creek it's clearly going to be the adventure game of the year.
>>738342378I'm going through Emperor right now, Tlatoani is next on my listDoes it have a campaign (hopefully no story) / maps with progressively harder objectives like the sierra ludos?
>>738268037We cant have those as often because there are people who start freaking out and say its marketing, which im pretty sure are the same people who also spam off topic political threads.

To people angry about steam store page links being dumped unceremoniously and complaining about a lack of pictures to help you determine whether any of them is worth opening, there might be a somewhat agreeable solution for you. Get the violentmonkey extension for your browser, then install this script:https://github.com/kani-ge/DLSite-Links-PlusIt shows the header picture of steam and DLsite games that got posted within a thread and tells you which post(s) did it. You can have a glance at what the game looks like almost as if you were lurking discovery queue or next fest but without the videos. I can't thank the guy who shilled this a few months ago in next fest threads enough. It's even useful outside of this type of threadAnyway play Rusted Mosshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1772830/Rusted_Moss/
>>738268037I would like recommendations for anything else like this weird little game I have been playing. The game is Catizens. It's like The Sims where you manage a bunch of random characters with unique traits and their relationships. You also build and manage their town. But it's also a RPG so you have to equip your cats and go explore and fight monsters. Unfortunately I'll eventually reach an ending with not much to do around the end since the game seems abandoned by the devs. But I would love to have some longer game like this with more replayability. It's fine if it has some normal human characters or something else instead of cats.
>>738339019looks really neat. and kinda fetish-y

>>738343173Miitopia and Valthirian Arc Hero School Story are the closest games to what you described.Miitopia is good and fun but Valthirian arc is acquired taste (it fucking sucks)
Any good Castlevania likes? Not metroidvania with RPG stuff, but pure action platforming.
>>738344220Bloodstained (any except ritual of the night) and Gal Guardians demon purge.Astalon also feels, plays and looks so fucking clunky and retro that it fits the bill even if it is technically a metroidvania.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_j_rbhgOA
>>738268037The best Pokemon like that I've ever played, fucking love this. Love the monster designs, love the game design. It's still in early access, but the story for the game is completely, what's missing is polish and animations for certain monsters and post game content. Basic idea is that you can have a team of 5 monsters and combat is play "Beastieball" which is 2v2 volleyball. Each turn you have 3 actions when you're the attacker, and as a defender you can take two actions to prepare for the attack. Moves have directions, ability, status ailments, synergies, abunch of shit and you're ultimately just trying to score points like in Volleyball, which can include just taking out your opponents Beasties which knocks them out 4 several turns and makes them fumble and get scored on.
>>738342598Yep. It's loosely story based. It's based on real events, basically the people who would later make up the dominant ethnic group of the Aztec empire were foreigners from the north, so it follows them arriving in the valley of Mexico and settling and building some of the cities they did irl
>>738343297There are a LOT of thigh-based takedown animations, and most achievements net you a new outfit, but it's a fairly standard stealth FPS otherwise with some nice atmosphere
>>738345147Based is the only game where I accept shitty looking faggot tranny characters simply because I can fucking obliterate their team with my monsters to assert superiority and heterosexual dominance, no sport will be dominated by a woman in my presence.The music is also nice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0lTTPvPBw
>>738343003This is awesome, thank you.
>>738344064Thanks for the recs. Valthirian Arc actually looks interesting (maybe 2nd game is better than the 1st?) I'll check out the Miitopia demo later too.
the agdg trannies who ruined the steam next fest are here too loli didn't see any of you in indie live expo threads, wonder why? because the games promoted there were much better than your low effort slopyour circlejerk has no power in serious areas of the industry, sorry
>>738346404As long as the story is kept to intro and outro blurbs and NO cutscenes or paused voice over in the middle of gameplay that sounds perfectly fine
>>738270441>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3849000/The_Lantern_of_the_Laughless_Saint/Oh I know this guy. He got a following making AI dark fantasy content on IG using his own mythos and got a dev to work on a game for him based on this mythos.It was fun content until he started forcing with pseudo-intellectual philosophy wank into every video and unironically made an "I AM SILLY" strawman punching bag that his smooth talking avatar destroyed with logic and a level head.

The objective is fill the puzzle board with coloured shapes of various sizes
>>738346548Yeah, I thought your childhood friend was just kinda plain and uggo and didn't realize they trooned out. Still didn't care cause the game is too good, also the general character design is good as well. Also like that the main villain is a piece of shit evil flamboyant faggot and you get to just trash him. Also, love this stupid nerd. Would bully.
>>738338680The truth is nobody does.
>>738338680Same, retards just dump their stuff with little to no explanation and wonder why no one takes an active interest. You're not the center of the world, do the bare minimum or fuck off lmao
Does it look like shit with random unmatched store-bought assets? Yes.Is it actively hostile to the player without any QoL? Yes.Was it made by a Fr*nchman? Unfortunately, yes.Is it the best tactical CRPG combat to have ever been made? Also yes.Knights of the Chalice 2 isn't meant for newcomers to the genre, or people who just want a power fantasy. It's meant for those who love OGL and tactical combat to test themselves. There is roleplaying, but it's a sideshow. It has big effects, including which companions you unlock and which factions side with you.But the star of the show is the AI. This AI is amazing. It will find multi-turn combos, with a goblin wizard casting grease not even on any character but by a pit trap, his summoned golem pushing you in front of it the next turn, then the turn after his ally wizard conjures up a blast of wind, sending you on a fatal slip-n-slide to the bottom of the pit. There is nothing else on the market that gets close. The AI can regularly outperform sub 120 IQ players.If you like difficulty in CRPGs or tactical combat, KOTC and KOTC2 are the game for you.

>>738353308Thanks anon.
>>738289859it is insane that PSO clones aren't a thing that exists
>>738325160Oh shit the insane Fortunes Run Dev is out of prison already? Damn, how time flies.
It's not a hidden gem but I'm shilling it anyway since it doesn't get the recognition it deserveshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2386720/STRAFTAT/It's my goty 2024. Arena shooter based around having 400+ maps each with a different set of weapons. Incredibly fun movements, incredibly fun guns, lots of cool people play it so you actually have human interactions. I have sinked 600 hours into, got to top 17 on the global leaderboard, made friends and I still play it almost every day.
>>738285282Agree with this in general. I'm so tired of seeing developers take the NuFromSoft approach to boss animation and making things borderline unreadable because bosses just wildly flail around constantly so you can never be sure if what you're seeing is an attack or just animation for the sake of animation.For that video in particular the backward jump from 8-10s reads like an attack because of the boss' arms. The minor crouch with the legs is good, the wings pulling back is good but those outstretched arms make it look like an attack is incoming. I'd either leave the arms at the sides with very little animation to not distract from the crouch and flap or bring them up in some kind of defensive pose to further accentuate that he's getting the fuck out of there.Also since that looks like a pretty dark environment in general the hand blast thing at 21s could use some particle effects on the chargeup. The boss holds that pose for a split second before instantly firing a blast but the issue is because of how dark it is you can't really read the pose until it's already too late. If there were some faint particle effects providing even a small amount of light prior to the blast being unleashed that would likely help a ton.
>>738289756Most people don't have the patience for a game like PSO anymore.
any co-op games?
>>738310079>simple fishingDoesn't the game already have fishing? Did I create a false memory? I could've sworn the game has fishing spots and fish you can catch.
>>738342365Did Atlus not patent anything about Trauma Center's game mechanics? This is just a straight up one to one clone with a furry skin.
>>738271114Game is so much fun. Many things and modes you unlock to keep you busy. Charming. Definitely flew under the radar>>738278068Good one.
Is Steam down for anyone else?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/1022980/Ostranauts/shilling this, probably one the most ambitious indies I've ever seenmandatory warning screenshots so I don't get a bunch of >aaand droppedreplies
>>738357608Every couple of weeks me and the boys load this up to waste a night away. One of my friends is autisticly good though so we force him to wear the bright pink outfit so we know who to shoot in a fight. He still wins 80% of the matches.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/251710/Chainsaw_Warrior_Classic/Back up for sale again after GW pulled the license for it. It's a $5 digital remake of a solo card game from the 80s.You play as the Chainsaw Warrior and given the mission to climb a tower and kill the big bad in one hour. Every action uses a little bit of time, so you have to plan your fights and use your kit to its full effect. The game starts with character generation where you roll your stats and items, with lower difficulty levels letting you avoid rolling and just get high stats and pick what gear you want.Being a solo card game that also uses dice, there's a ton of RNG, so expect to lose a lot just due to bad luck. But it's a fun game regardless since it goes so quickly, you can play quite a few runs in a short span of time. The pacing is great and the game gives a lot of narrow victories where you're never sure if you're going to come out on top until the last shot against the boss.
act now and you can be the first one to find this hidden gem. After me, of course, but trying to beat me to finding hidden gems is like trying to outrun an olympian so don't even bother.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2822980/ARSONATE/

any good games like Beyond Citadel? mainly the "cool" factor (quick reloading + finishing off enemies) as well as quick gameplay
>>738362909>Beyond Citadeluhh...pretty sure that's NOT what the game is known for...
>>738289697>He's going through tunnels in caves shooting colored beams at enemies, collecting power ups, choosing perksthis is the most generic sounding criteria you could have possibly come up with to compare the two
>>738339019I played this a few weeks ago but the framerate could get kind of choppy which really detracts from the experience, and while the length of the "small" missions was good, the long missions become a slog when you consider that you can't save mid mission, so there's a lot of repeating the first phase of a mission on auto pilot every time. Thats due to trial and error forcing you to start again but also, more annoyingly, when enemies spot you in circumstances that you wouldn't usually be spotted. My last session stopped when I was way above a dude in the dark at what was presumably the end of the level as he walked under me and he suddenly spotted me. Shut down for the night because I wasn't looking forward to just repeating all that again and haven't loaded it up since.
>>738271636>Check negative reviewsConsistently stuff like "3/5, not for me, but it is well-made" or "this game is bad, the Witness good"I am getting a lot of easy wishlists off this one.
Here's some precision movement + puzzle games, a daring genre synthesis that somehow got two great games releasing a month apart. Seriously, both are real 10/10s.Bat to the Heavens is mostly movement/mechanics-based, but all the tech is introduced in a metroidbrania-style way where you have it all from the start but just don't realise it. And planning out your mode of approach in every level is basically a puzzle on its own.It's also FILLED with the dev's fetish, but it's such an obscure fetish it'll just look like soulful details until someone rips that veil off.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3044100/Bat_to_the_Heavens/Super Puzzled Cat is mostly on the puzzle side of things, but the levels have secrets and those secrets have secrets and so on, it's a real rabbit hole. Built-in savestating means you too can scum the same single jump for twenty minutes before getting the timing right (unfortunately a real story). But the game is cute which helps.There's also one unlock for no-hitting the surprise shmup level which I'm never fucking getting who's fucking idea was thathttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2650350/Super_Puzzled_Cat/
>>738365983Seconding Puzzled Cat, haven't finished it in full (~80%) but it's the best game I've played in awhile. Bat to the Heavens I liked the idea of but dropped pretty quickly, felt more precise than what I was willing to deal with without save states.For Cat, what's the intended solution for getting in here? I found a way in that I've used a few times, but it's so stupidly precise there's no way it's the correct way to do it.
>>738366325I don't know. I've only gotten as close as your screenshot.Maybe something to do with that "attracts ghosts" hint. I should probably buy the dream vending machine hint for it.
>>738366590Damn, guess I'll never know.If you've gotten as close as the screenshot, you should be able to make it in doing the same thing with perfect timing. It's the only jump I've had to spend 20 minutes on which is why I don't think it's intended, but it did work eventually.
