yup, no voodoo involved though, all it does is automate the process of making a copy of the current save. once you die you can revert to the backup save

My least fave weapon but i need it for bosses because im terrible at bosses. Also started zipping up my save on good runs Smile

it was fucking annoying on ps5, had trouble with 1st boss lol. downloaded isodemo, beat 1st boss on 1st run 1st try rotfl. 1st time in 2nd world got to the boss, failed due to the low hp and shitty upgrades, beat it on second try. 2-3 days and im in 3rd world, on gamepad i was hitting the wall constantly on 1st boss lolz.

years of playing Q1/2/3 and UT didnt go to waste lol

Of course I do, I played it on the shite console after all.
Still feels like shite to play with a gamepad even with auto aim, has nothing to do with accuracy or difficulty.

That being said, even with crappy auto aim, it's nothing compared to K/M.
The game is literally a cakewalk now. lol


so, youve beaten whole game on first 10 tries? Very Happy

be patient, try either picking HP instantly or pick it when on full health (when ure full the hp goes to that little 3 bars on the left of HP bar, when 3 are full your overall hp rises - its a must for further playing, u basically have double hp metter and so on)

and yea, that assault rifle is the best one for a long time, also melee attack is great and deals shitload of dmg

also isodemo kinda sucks cuz you can gain shitload of ether in online mode, oh well

This. I've only unlocked the melee strike last night but gave it a go earlier today and... easily wiped the floor with 6-7 of those low level ground enemies in a single room in some 8 seconds or so.
Just dashing, jumping and slashing around them, pretty much one hit one kill (dunno if was due to having some artifact or not, though).

melee easily kills what smaller mobs in 1 hit, same for flying shit, also those bigger who are appearing slowly on the map could be put down with 1 hit, they like crouch/stagger, few shots or another swing and they are gone. its part of the process = dont focus much on surviving, consider some runs just as practice.

sometimes its annoying, sometimes you move forward like crazy.

also its worth watching some basic tips on yt (like that hp stuff and what to look for). later on you can also skip most of the previous maps, later levels have some great visual design (beksinski like) and bossess are fucking crazy, gave huge satisfaction after beating up, just like souls games, but in rogue like formula. imo its more for like 1-2h plays, not like 4-5h sessions cuz it might get annoying.

Pretty enjoyable. But quite easy? I died like 4-5 times total and twice on the last boss before beating it. Did not do the Tower yet.

It's quite noticeable that the difficulty was designed for controllers. Most weapons have some sort of perks to make up for the fact that you can't aim properly on a controller. Having such tools on PC makes it a cakewalk at times.

I finished the game in less than 10 hours and in my first cycle afterwards I pretty much dismantled everything in my way. Sadly, getting the true ending requires quite the grind because the 6 items required to unlock the ending have a spawn chance.

In my case the difficulty isn't a problem (..yet), it's just that I genuinely don't enjoy the humdrum roguelike formula - which combined with the bullet hell-like nature of the encounters is a deal-breaker that no cycle in the universe can un-break. The game has a solid atmosphere and plays relatively well even on my potato from the Neolithic, but alas, that's where the positives end for me. Razz

Game is designed to be unforgiving until you unlock the good weapon upgrades and perks. In the first level you need to try not to take any hits so you can upgrade your health with pickups. And buy that astronaut.

Also those cursed chests are rarely worth taking.

After you beat level 3, you are on part 2 and thus dont have to start at level 1 anymore. Level 3 boss is the first difficulty spike imo but manageable once you unlock a few different upgrades and have enough health to take a hit or three.

or easy-mode mod:

I am enjoying this more than I thought, but yeah, the roguelike aspects are offputting to me. I don't mind the Dark Souls way of treading back to a boss or section, but this here has the added requirement of stocking up on stuff to even have a fighting chance. With more time available I might consider grinding this out, but given my very limited time for gaming I just don't feel like either gittin gud or having luck with the level generation.

I might try easy mode.

I completed it but then wanted to mop up all the collectibles; started with the glyphs and ran the first level about 15 times to get the final glyph and it would never spawn so got bored and uninstalled. Really enjoyed the game but didnt want 5 more levels or looking for stuff that doesn't always spawn.

i tried the ez save mod but with this game u need to restart the game for the backup save to load, so if ur dying frequent it is very annoying

the easiest way i found was to use a trainer and do like 5x the amount of health u have and thats mostly it

i dont like to use trainers but really wanted to play this without going crazy or spend more time on it than i have to

Yo, if i can do it i'm sure you can too! Takes a bit more time no doubt to get timings right, but in the end we old fucks can rock it also. Just played Sekiro again.

Thanks for the mod suggestions mens but I'll keep at it as is for now.
With each run I learn something new, the real trouble is dying to the boss (first boss) or on some room on lockdown because I didn't prioritize my enemies correctly.
And after making some 20-30min progress while playing only for that, it's extremely hard to pick it up immediately after again. At least on the souls games you could work on your equipment, character or simply grind your way but not here, it feels.
