    I realized the reason why changing your mana value isn’t permanent is because the number resets, it’s not a permanent number it only changes max mana to account for 5+ mana

    The concept of this game is fantastic! Thank you for the discovery.
    There's a nice simple combo to have more fun with the dice: saving the one dice (card) to use on the one dice (relic) to get more uses on average. It's especially bonkers with dice upgrades and dice buffs :D

    I felt like it was obvious that the dev of this game was a fan of MTG, then I noticed that the wolf is called a "Throat Wolf" which is an infamous non-existent card in MTG. Its almost like a cryptid card, people claimed it existed but didn't.

    I'd probably have focused most of the dice in the early game on improving cards in your deck, since that seems to be permanent (even if there are only so many cards that you're likely to benefit from rerolling).

    • @Retromation
      @Retromation  Před 6 měsíci +4

      if you play a card that has been modified you move the fog up, you can only play a modified card a few times (as the game currently is balanced)

    Seems like not distorting the drawn cards for permanent effects, and using the dice to cut your opponent's HP down quickly, is probably not a good approach for this game. Especially when you have enemies like the Scarecrow.

    • @Retromation

  • @scottsmartky
    @scottsmartky Před 6 měsíci

    That choice of healing chicken legs got you. You could have 2 at the start of every fight or heal 2 every time you took damage 3 times. So, to gain health on the deal, you'd have to make sure you got hit for 1 point 3 times and nothing more to come out ahead 3 points to 2. That's why anything other than thorn effects or card draw when you take damage tends to be fool's gold unless you have a specific vampire-like build where taking damage is normal. Great video. Sorry that Aces did so poorly on your channel. It wasn't because of me as I loved it, but I think the Steam reviews will fill you in on why it failed for the most part. Thought about buying it as it is on sale and decided against it based off those and wait until it gets bundled on Humble or Fanatical. The game seems to not have legs is the short version. 10 hours or so to max your character and that renders everything too easy.

    • @temtempo13
      @temtempo13 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Your analysis about the chicken legs is off. The wings are only better in a fight where you don't take any damage.
      Consider a fight in which you take any 4 damage three times: the wings will have healed you for 2, while the drumsticks will have healed you for 6. If you start the fight with 40 HP, the wings will let you end with (40 + 2 - 12) = 30 hp, while the drumstick lets you end the fight with (40 - 12 + 6) = 34 hp. The exact starting HP and damage amounts don't matter, just the fact that you took damage more than once.
      If your deck is so good at block/evasion that you regularly finish fights without taking any damage, the wings win out, but otherwise the drumstick will always be as good or better. (Barring weird edge cases, like "an enemy's first attack hitting you for exact lethal unless you have the 2 healing from the chicken wings.)

    Isn't the mist system similar to whatchamacallit in that spaceship tactics roguelike, forgot the title? Crying Stars? Crying Suns? I remember our character is a clone of some mighty war hero. Anyway, the mist system is very similar.
    It's annoying at times, but it was fun having something chasing you most of the time. Kind of. Plus the battle system is very familiar (with something extra). I think I'll enjoy this game

    Why arent you playing Ace and adventures anymore? Checking in here sometime just to see if you have done a great playthrough. But nope. And no other youtuber plays it. So I'm quite sad. I was subbed once but you stopped playing Dicey Dungeons, Ace and Adventures and that poker game. All the other stuff Im not interested in. And Ace and Adventures you was super hyped for but never played it again😢

    • @Retromation
      @Retromation  Před 6 měsíci +10

      The short answer is that I am always playing what I want to play, factoring in _all_ the information that I have. If you only like two games I've played, and you're not subscribed, I'm sorry, but you have to know I can't be making decisions around a _sometimes_ viewer, I need to make decisions around the group that is always there. Nobody watched Aces & Adventures, it performed horribly so I tried to stream it, and it did horribly, so I played it by myself.

    • @Retromation
      @Retromation  Před 6 měsíci +6

      It is definitely a bummer, but yeah nobody is playing it because nobody is watching it. Not sure why that is the case, and it is genuinely very good. If I had to take a shot in the dark based on your preferences I'd say watch the old Spellrogue series. I'll likely be returning to it when it comes out next week, but the old series is long enough to last until then.

    • @LillaJag

      @Retromation Yeah. It was fun to watch the episodes you put out.! Such a bummer. And I think one explanation is that is was to pretty and beautifully game. People nowadays seems to like horror and dark stuff..
      Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely going to give that serie a try and also the escape room serie you did. It also seemed like it could be fun to watch.
      And we can hope that dicey dungeons do dlc because that game was also fun to watch and seemed like it performed well on the channel.
      But are definitely going give that Spellrouge a chance!
