          I'm sold. I will pick this game up and play it until I get bored of it like I did with Slay the Spire. Roguelikes just take up time you could be spending finishing other games that are complete experiences. That's how I see it.

            On the bright side this game actually has a pretty decent story for a roguelike
            I liked it more than Hades which people kept jerking off
            iirc one of the writers was part of some Danganronpa fan thing that was very well liked, but I'm not enough into that franchise to know more

            Why don't you see roguelikes as complete experiences? Usually they all have a proper ending that isn't very hard to reach either.
            I like difficult roguelikes because the skillcap is high and learning the game and improving is incredibly rewarding.

              You can keep running it forever. With other games you get to the end screen and reach 100% completion or whatever, then move on to the next experience and so on.

                That's what I do with roguelikes. I don't go to autistic lengths grinding achievements and shit, but I do all the content, beat the true final boss or whatever and then move on until a DLC comes out.

    I've got 55~ hours into the game at this point. And I genuinely really love it. Pretty sure it's my favourite of the genre at this point.

    That said. I tried Helia and Selena for the second time today.
    The first time I tried them I got the two Rare spells that combine together. But this time I got Helia's Solar Storm instead.

    And well. Is this skill bugged for anyone else?
    In my 50+ hours of the game, I haven't really encountered much of any bugs.
    But Solar Storm says it's supposed to check my top 3 cards in my deck. But instead it checks every card remaining in my deck. And that's... kind of broken I am pretty sure.
    Kind of feels like cheating to continue. So when I got to halfway through Clown Land and realized that Solar Storm kept acting like this and that it probably isn't supposed to. I saved and quit.
    But I really want to continue. But without the bug.

    Is the skill always bugged in the current version. Or did something just happen locally for my run? What do?
    But yeah. This is the only bug I've encountered so far.

        Generally follow the holy trinity of Tank/DPS/Support (Healing)
        You'll need to get familiar with the characters you're running to get a good balance between these 3 aspects with your 4 characters
        Most characters can at least fill two of these pretty well, but especially damage characters can be more one dimensional
        The steam guides are pretty solid, but for normal difficulty all investigators are fine as long as you have those bases covered

    Comparing the game to Slay the Spire. I really like how you get quicker but far more frequent battles than in Slay the Spire.

    Combined with far more upgrade opportunities. Giving you a lot more choices in regards to how to grow. Made more interesting by how you actually have 4 distinct characters with their own decks and abilities. So when you get an upgrade opportunity, you can more or less always improve at least one if not several characters. And since characters can easily be built in different ways for different synergies. You're constantly faced with new choices to bet on. While also being given frequent combat scenarios to check out your new choices.

    This is my GotY so far. Easily the best story in the genre, not that there's any competition, but it's pretty solid as just a VN. Game play has a very nice pace and doesn't fall for dumb game balance traps a lot of games like this tend to.

        My usual problems are with power scaling. The best example I can think of is with Monster Train, where you basically always need to break the game in very specific ways like by finding multi strike upgrades and as a result anything that doesn't do something as strong as that is almost useless.

        • 2 weeks ago

          Inner desire will never kill her and just her existing provides tons of damage reduction. She is an inverse tank.
          You Suck Loser and Charge are her main tank skills.
          YSL makes it so she cant die to physical damage while its active. Charge while its on countdown buffs the partys resists to crazy degrees making it far harder to bleed her.
          Loser detected, loser loser and Any strong guys here? stalls the inner desire for far more turns, letting her soak up more damage while she actually has health before she inevitably bombs into -XXX/30

          Shes an off tank who loves other CC to protect her while they benefit from the passive damage reduction. Leryn and Phoenixregen or hein blood refux are her favourite supports

      Charon - energetic DORK darkpriest who is a pain dps with heals on the side and has masochism synergies. She comes with a healing pot that acts as a rechargeable heal potion.
      The witches- Helia and Selena - they are twin astromages who synergize ethier with each others unique buffs in a pain comp, or BIG MANA COMET STORMS. Passively, they only faint when both hit deathsdoor, when one would be hit at deathsdoor, the other witch takes half of it instead

      Narharn - Pompous psychic armchairpsychologist who is a stun tank and his damage scales off his max health. Passively he applies a unique debuff that lets you see who enemies will target with their attacks.

      TFK - The final boss past initial run. initially

      Sizz - Controlfreak kid Hag who uses her beloved doll like the tiniest jojostand, attacking alongside whoever she buffs. If you want to bully sizz, throw it like a grenade with the sacrifice skill.

      ilya - Salaryman Samurai little shit who is depressed to comical degrees. His skills get bonus effects when they are discarded turning previously detrimental moves into advantages.
      He has a pain debuff that triggers every time you place a pain debuff, and he can also recast other characters skills like trisha, through the power of crippling alcoholism

      I played this game for 50 hours and didn't unlock her or Phoenix due to their unlock requirements changing or necessary mechanics getting added late
      Maybe I should start a fresh file at some point to see how the game is "intended" to be experienced now

      Put her at death's door so that she drops the facade and begs for mercy.

    I hate deckbuilders. Is it worth slogging through the gameplay of this one to get the story like in Ruina, or can I safely add this one to my ignore list?

      The story is nice but I wouldn't say it's worth it if you hate the genre.

        Cheers, thanks for the answer. I'm closing the tab and outta this thread. Have fun you lot, even if I will never understand you.

        Gigabrainlet take, Ruina deckbuilding was amazing.

        I hate all deckbuilders on principle. The only reason I put up with Ruina is to see LC's continuation, a game whose gameplay I actually enjoyed.

      No, this game is pretty deep, so you will have to learn to play it.

      there's nothing to do outside of combat. It's the primary reason to play the game, the combat is fun.

    Does anyone know if the Revolver Cylinder relic works with Charon's Soul Strike?

      Yes.
      Additional attack damage is all damage thats not from the initial hit. Helia loves the cylinder.

        Helia's skills says "recast" but I always wondered if it'd work with the revolver even so. Interesting to hear that it does.

    Oh frick. I reached The Archive through the Crimson Wilderness without even realizing that the vending machines were part of it.
    A couple of times now I was never able to find the key. And I wondered why. And now Count Dochichi finally revealed to me the truth. And now I finally understand.

    Is the DLC post-game or entirely separate?

      Seperate.
      It gives a little side-story context to the optional shiranui fight.

        I'll probably get it anyway just for more content and to see more of the characters.
        But does the DLC make the game easier? Is it to some level, pay to win?
