I regret to inform you that Dead Weight has completely ruined my Steam library. Why would I play anything else? Why would I want to? Every other game is just "not Dead Weight."
>Flying steampunk pirate ship? CHECK!
>Tiny turn-based battles where every move matters? CHECK!
>Roguelite progression that keeps pulling you back in? CHECK!
>Exploring floating islands while hunting eldritch Ancient Gods? CHECK!
>Pixel art that makes your GPU feel appreciated instead of abused? CHECK!

The gameplay loop is pure concentrated dopamine. Every run turns into "I'll just clear one more island," and suddenly it's 2:47 AM, your coffee is cold, and you've developed an emotional attachment to a goblin you hired 40 minutes ago. The combat somehow manages to be tactical without feeling like you're filing taxes. Positioning matters. Builds matter. Your crew matters. Every piece of loot has you immediately theorycrafting your next run. And don't even get me started on the atmosphere. Whoever decided to combine flying pirate ships, steampunk, ancient cosmic horrors, and chunky pixel art deserves a standing ovation and probably tax exemptions. I haven't been this excited about an indie game in ages. The devs clearly poured years of love into this thing, and it shows in every system. It's the kind of game where you accidentally tell your friends, No seriously, just play it, every five minutes.

Dead Weight isn't just peak.
It's the entire mountain.

10/10.
11/10 if your airship explodes.
15/10 if the Ancient Gods personally ruin your day.
100/10 if you immediately queue another run afterward anyway.

I don't make the rules. I just obey them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have important pirate business to attend to.
>>
This is clearly a marketing post and even worse it was obviously written by AI or even worse someone ironically mimicking AI. I will never buy your game based on this alone.
>>
It's not my fucking game you cocksucker! Barely anybody knows about this and it's a great game that is getting massive accolades! People Fucking complain we don't have any new good Tactical RPGs coming out and here one does, but you are acting like a Fucking Trick Ass Mark! Yes, you are a Fucking Mark!

this is just sad

Why don't you just market it naturally instead of typing all of this?
No insult, but I have checked this game. It is very deliberate on the marketing pictures.

Also while the environments look really nice (might be metal slug tactics level), those sprites look very generic.
Also what's the point of the fighting on top of an airship when the game board is just a flat surface?

last time we had a shill this bad it was the false skies dev (who calmed down the day later and has been chill since so no bully)

Missed that but Peripeteia was way worse. Maybe it was on /v/ though.

I'm not really planned before this, but now i'm totally not playing your game.

You dint scour for jew games often then. It's actually pretty bleak out there. This at least doesn't look completely shit, it's still very bad though. Then again mercaneries trpg series exist and it's basically bland, the game.

But this game's aggressive buzzwordy marketing along with the level design is disgusting.
I will pir8 it and give it a try sometime just out of curiosity, but the amount of skeptical and disappointed reviews on steam already speaks volumes

Sounds to me like they're buying reviews because the product won't stand on its own merits. Buying reviews and paying someone to shill your product on a Chilean goat grooming forum are pretty synonymous.

Torrented the game and played a few hours, it's very shallow. I beat the Act 3 boss off of the third run (so 4 of those purple rougelite upgrade spheres total with the first character).

If your Act 3 "corrupted" enemies introduce the gimmick of having a charging enemy knock themselves off the stage, then it feels sort of insulting compared to that concept normally introduced very early for position-focused tactics games.

I'd give this an afternoon or two, but it doesn't hold a candle to false skies (granted, a different kind of game), and when games like Hatworld NT exist on this board then devs like these really gotta get their shit together.
>>
>>4024855
>Torrented the game and played a few hours, it's very shallow
Why the Fuck would you do that? The game is even on Fucking sale! You're the Fucking False Skies dev aren't you? You're kind of an Asshole, you know that?
>>
Uh oh! The klukva dev is having a melty!
>>
>>4021394
I'd go as far as to say it's antimarketing, some guy mad at the game and pretending to be an AI shilling the game, and then over reacting and having a jeet tier meltdown in response before anyone says anything, to give it bad press/association.
>>
>>4024893
Why would anybody do that? This is a single dev indie game.
>>
>>4024925
There are two possibilities, either:
-anon played/watched a youtuber play it and decided it was bad
-anon is a dev and thinks that game is his compensation, so he does a smear campaign
Both of these options are autistic as fuck and not in a fun way

>>4025338
I doubt devs care about competition
>>

>Why the Fuck would you do that?
Because the last thing I want to pay for is tentacle porn and homoeroticism. Not that it makes a difference, the gameplay is shallow and I would have refunded it by now had I.

We're not talking about a normal person here, but about a rard pretending to be a dev shilling this game. There's no rhyme or reason when it comes to these people

my money is on the dev asking his friends (or discord simps, AKA OP) to spread the word, and OP being to much of a lazy fag to write his own impressions on the game

OPs post aside i did notice it was sitting at about 85% on Steam which isn't too bad. The worst thing I read seems to be it has a dumb mechanic where you basically are always moving out of the way of attacks. What is even the last good trpg that was released? Tactical Breach Wizards? That was almost 2 years ago.
>>
>>4026337
>Hes said over and over he is not the dev
Just like Tim Mortem claimed he wasn't void-whore when shilling stormgape.
The problem is, even if he was the dev, after the negative reactions to his OP-AI-Sloppost he wouldn't admit it because it would speak of having low standards that likely plague the resf of his game.

The narrative is set, he's the dev, denying it is just an attempt at damage control.

This is fucked up. It could be someone who is an enemy of the dev that is do8ng this and fucking him over!

You know, this blatant propaganda thread would be at least 80% better if you actually posted more than 1 pic of the game, having just that one pic at OP is pretty sad.

>>4027983
Pretty sure the problem is not the AAA gamers having a rivalry against indie gamers, but rather a poor presentation of the game at the very beggining of the thread.
>>
Once you start to suspect false flagging basically any attempt at figuring out motives is an exercises in futility, but I just don't know why the thread exists in the first place. Like who would give enough of a shit to make it? Does that mean the dev is actually this clueless? Did he just give some money to a really bad marketing team?
Basically, I'm just going to pretend this thread doesn't exist because I don't like it.

I wasn't sure based on all the shilling and trolling going on but I did buy it and give it a try. There is a lot to like but some of the frustrating things make it less enjoyable than it should be. The fuel mechanic sucks and should be reworked. RNG and the way enemies deploy in a manner that completely fucks you in the beginning of a battle. Progression in general should be better and more streamlined and needs a lot of work. The battles itself need more tactical variety.

But overall I like the art, I like flying around exploring, I like the storyline, and I still mostly like the gameplay even with all its flaws.
