    It gets talked about a fair amount in indie threads. What's interesting is that the game is setup to be super super data driven and modular so mods for it would theoretically be possible. I even made a few myself.

      I've responded to this post a while ago. The game feels horrible early on if you're playing on a gamepad because your best projectile option until you get the Sonic Spear is the slingshot, and the slingshot feels absolutely horrible to use on gamepad (so does the crossbow, but much less so). Your choice between KB/M and Gamepad will almost certainly warp the way that you play the game, so keep that in mind when you pick it up.
      By my opinion, it also takes a little while for the game to pick up steam. I don't say that as a bad thing, per se-- I greatly disliked the Desert area and the wheat field area was also pretty lackluster, but they're followed by some pretty good story beats to contrast them. It's all good as soon as you get to the North Wall though.

      Phalanx is one of the coolest superbosses I've played against in a while. It was hard yet fair, and also exuded exactly the right amount of boss presence in its encounter. It was worth wasting my time collecting literally everything.

      tl;dr I would recommend the game. Kinda weak opening but it picks up.

      Sorry I just bought a house and I have to be

      i pirated this game. i recommend it 9.8/10
      listen to me, i know it sucks to be house-poor, congrats on the move, hear me out - you can pirate the game - if you hate piracy, buy the gog version. unlike steam, you dont have 2 hours to refund it, you have 30 days. period. you can probably even beat the game during that time. if you have an emergency expense for your $7, perhaps the coffee machine at work broke and you need to go to starfrickers, or your daughter threatens to kill herself unless you buy her a happy meal or bigmac, then quickly refund the game and use that precious $7.
      i realize you need to save your $7, because i know it'll make or break your $3k/mo mortgage (lol) - so don't spend $7, but please do yourself a favor and play the fricking game, pay for it later. trust me. you will feel like you ripped off the devs. you will want to buy seven COPIES of the game. you will feel like the game shouldn't be "$7 or less" - you will feel like it should be $70, unlike "quad-A skull and bones" ubishit dogfricker slop. you will want to work overtime to gift your friend a copy, because you love them so much they deserve to experience this incredible fricking game. i'm dead fricking serious.

      I just bought it yesterday. How long does it take to become “holy shit amazing” like the internet assures me it is?

      if you aren't enjoying it by the forest temple you probably won't enjoy it. the tutorial / intro part is the worst fricking part because of the Black person woman & your stupid blue haired female protagonist just being like HUH? WUH? DUH? - but finish it and keep going. i really am angry at the monkeyfrick moronic devs for making the demo the tutorial part. if you just played that section, if you played the demo, it feels unremarkable, but this game is probably the best game i played in 2010-2020 except maybe rainworld, highfleet, brigador, noita, etc, it's up there with games like that.

    Very Good gameplay with comfy music and a engaging enough story, it's nothing so incredible or controversial to make a big boom, so it got mostly overlooked.
    The only Grasp i have with this game is the dungeon puzzles. Yeah they always have some changes with each new elemen but from the second onwards it feels like a massive fricking chore. Tough amazingly enough the DLC one was the most fun even after i was fricking done with them already. 10/10

    It was talked about a lot more when it was newer.
    I like it because it scratches a similar itch to how Zelda used to design its puzzles and progression, but in a more fleshed out, RPG-ish way. Not a huge fan of it expressly endorsing grinding (or leaning into the game design of the in-universe MMO at all really), but maintaining frickoff long combos is pretty fun once you've got the level for it, so I can forgive it there.
    And the writing is... it's there. The premise is really neat, and the characters all work together fine, it's just nothing really excellent a lot of the time. Lea's limited vocabulary was a cute gimmick, though.

    the puzzles however were fricking horrible partially due to the fact that they did a terrible job differentiating heights/verticality, and thats not even mentioning parts of the environment where you could go behind.

    The dungeon puzzles could become really fatiguing. Like, just zooming around shooting BALLS at enemies in the open world was easy but Dungeons were another story...

    i recently finished it. pretty good but you start to see where the limits of combat becomes where it becomes a dodge phase into attack window loop, especially in the dlc. you can do some neat stuff like afterimage dodges or time slows and maybe also skip a phase once in a while. still really fun, great dlc final dungeon. that ending teaser was just a little joke it seems like. no crosscode 2.

      I think they were closeted in the original game but come out as homosexuals in the DLC. Can't remember. Also I think your redhead tomboy friend is a lesbian for you. I don't remember.

      This is probably the best way to describe it. It's like dealing with the standard homosexuals that you'd have to if you were actually playing an MMO. You aren't forced to be nice to them or anything.

      Could be worse. Why the frick was Reize like a crucial character in the Shovel Knight's Plague Knight Campaign?

        actually the patron fricking despised how shovel knight handled his character because the way they used him in the third campaign completely broke a couple of his biggest rules: Don't give him a concrete point of origin, don't give him parents, don't have him become corrupted or evil or really change how he acts in the slightest.
        We unfortunately never got any public seethe, but he blew his entire cameo in Indivisible talking about fricking Shovel Knight so safe to say it lives rent free in his head.

    The temples were absolute ass. Every room was a "how much longer is this shit going to take?" room. Even the overworld puzzles were more fun despite being absolutely moronic sometimes (especially those on the desert/beach).
    Enemy design too gimmicky, some bosses even worse, silly referential humor out the ass (just too much), out of place guest characters, awkward controller aiming, too many filler quests, probably more I'm forgetting.

    STILL a great game, somehow, but a mixed bag if I ever saw one.
    The music managed to me to remind of PSO, old KMMO, and even older JRPGs at the same time, definitely a strong point.

    Crosscode's main game final dungeon was awful, the DLC final dungeon was a lot better. I wish there was more to the game, outdoor sections were cool, dungeons were cool, bosses were cool. Puzzles were hit or miss, by the end of the game the puzzles were impressive by videogame standards.

    If anyone is interested in playing, the best way to play is to skip EVERY side quest, all of them. Doing them will have you outlevel everything and reduce the challenge, theres no interesting story or anything to them, they were modeled after MMO fetch quests. Having the bossfights be difficult is very rewarding.

    I didn't even realize there was DLC for this. A bit hesitant to dive back in, as a DLC probably means they ramp up the intensity/complexity of everything and my muscle memory is long gone.

    CC is the good shit though. Definitely on my short list of best indie games of the past decade, and even moreso a standout as just a really good RPG. The vermillion wasteland sequence still sticks with me years after the fact. It's by no means perfect but it doesnt have to be because its memorable and executes well on the parts that make it unique

          Mario RPG combat has more depth, and i mean a LOT more depth

        • 3 months ago
          Anonymous

          The game looks good and has some decent songs, but I think the gameplay, story, and characters are all really bad.
          The two main protagonists basically have no personality and are constantly shown up by their childhood friend who is just perfect in every way and everyone loves him. The game relentlessly sucks him off at every opportunity.
          It has probably the worst final boss and ending I have ever experienced in a game, spoilers ahead.
          If you bother to get the true ending and beat the Fleshmancer, one of your party members who's an old friend of his just goes in a portal with him and fricks off, and then the game is over. Your whole party watches as he gets away with everything. A character who has conquered multiple worlds and is irredeemably evil. Just awful.
          In terms of gameplay, enemies have "locks" on them that you break by using the element the lock has, and by breaking them you stop their attacks. So most of combat is just you switching characters to break the enemies' locks so you take no damage, and if there's ever a situation where you might not be able to break a lock in time you just switch to the character that can delay the enemies' turns so you can. It's a very easy game.
          Each character gets a measly 3-4 moves over the course of 30+ hour game, which is incredibly low for an RPG. Doing the same inputs over and over for shit like Moonarang gets old really fricking quick, especially when it's one of your only sources of moon elemental damage. There are combo moves between characters as well, but a lot of them are just standard moves with an extra input.
          You can pick which stats to focus with on a level up which is nice, but all equipment is just buy a new set at the next town because its always better.
          Puzzles are incredibly easy compared to CrossCode.
          I genuinely do not understand how this game gets as much praise as it does, I don't think it deserves it at all.

    It was pretty fun, but I hate literally everything about the setting. MMOs are gay, SAO is gay, I hate that fake friend kinda plot like newer FE does, all of it just makes me wince. They keep having drama and I'm just trying to throw balls at shit. Made it to the dual temple place in the woods or something before I forgot to keep playing.
    Also 90% of the overworld is just searching for the one screen with a staircase so I can go up and try the secret jumps and stuff again.
    All that said, despite hating the French, freckles, and short hair, I am overcome with a powerful need to tenderly love the French girl.

      >Made it to the dual temple place in the woods or something before I forgot to keep playing.
      That's just a little bit before the game gets good. The MMO shit is all fluff until it gets to the AI cloning plotline in chapter 7 where they torture AI clones of players to get banking/credit card information out of them before disposing of them like cattle. Pretty cool sequences and some super cliche shit follows that they treat earnestly, like hacking the game to gain exponentially greater stats to kill a boss with seemingly-infinite health. I'd recommend giving it another swing if you can stand to stomach it since you jumped ship right before it reached port.

      They also tone down on the MMO shit a bit later on. It's still a factor of course.

        Also the lead designer behind the (in-universe) game becomes a(n in-game) God at the end of the game, and you get to kill God.

        I respect the final puzzle for being a intentional troll that's actually pretty reasonable once you go through it.
        And puzzle assist slowdown exists if you need it.

    I got this expecting it to be a neat action rpg but all that I got was zelda puzzles nonstop and tumblr art. I promptly uninstalled refunded.

    It has great puzzle design but I hate overworld traversal. I'm in the weird hell area with the German dude and got bored

      >hate overworld traversal
      just fast travel you moron

      I remember playing the demo on newgrounds way back.
      I pirated it and after finishing it, I felt so guilty of not paying for it, I bought it at full price.

      is this the new shill tactic?
      "i pirated it, felt guilty, and bought it" ?
      how much are you paid to shill the game here?
      i'm just surprised because i actually really like it.

      It really needed a jump button. Plus the puzzles got moronic late game

      it has a jump button you moron.

      If he's got this much money, why doesn't he just make his own damn game? Is it because he realizes his self insert is a shitty character?

        He is making a game. Here's some old footage.

        I think the whole reason he started doing this was to make his character recognizable for when his game finishes.

    I picked this game up just because the mechanics look so god damn good and reminds me of old DS rpgs I used to play. Now its in the backlog. I hate when I forget about things like this.

    Because the only known workaround to slow-ass Skill screen (or whichever, I forget because it's been a while) is to lower your monitor's refresh rate and I'm too lazy to lower my refresh rate every fricking time I boot up a game to make it work.
    Same for No More Heroes on PC, so it's not like I shit on indie games exclusively.
