Respect to that one (presumably) Chinese player on the voice chat of Warhaven for being pretty friendly. That "Goodbye, my bro" sounded so wholesome.
Maybe the real Soulslikes were the friends we made along the way...
@@homoe7976 Imagine someone bully you and then u summon knight in iron set with Fume Greatsword💀
I had to pause from laughing when he heard he was american and just decided to end every sentence "bro". He truly can speak american.
I like how he was like "Oh american? Wassup bro" lmao
@@homoe7976 yeah he was definitely a reference to solaire
“I don’t have any dice”
“then I’ve already won, I get to hit you first”
“One of those sentences is true” is oddly the most badass thing I’ve heard in any recent game
Maybe topped by
- Grandpa is dead
-Yes🗿
mine was darksiders 2
-Can you give the crown that i sent you on a quest to retrieve?
Death : No... Unless you want to take it by force
- ....
- I thought so
he also immediately takes the first hit
@@hamdiezio6206 Death had all the comebacks ready for the chancellor every time he would talk to him he would flame him
Watching the dialogue sequences felt like a mashup between every Jason Statham movie and every 80s action hero.
"The gorilla is not part of the duel, he's just here." Imagine how that would affect every competitive sport out there. That would be a nice way to pump viewership numbers.
That gives me Monster Hunter World vibes. I wanna see this more often.
Toss an angry gorilla or two midfield at random points in the football/soccer/whatever game. I would watch the fuck out of that. Keep moving or you get your arms ripped off by a pissed off silverback? Slap that on pay per view and you bet your ass I’m watching.
Also why just sports? Any show could be spiced up with an 800lb gorilla. I’ve always wanted to see the contestants of the bachelor murdered by an endangered species. Cooking shows? Political debates? Angry 🦍 makes it way more watchable.
That’s kind of what the Roman Gladiators did
@@Anonymous-73 lmao "The lion is not a combatant but he is there" "For entertainment"
"JR you seein' this!? Who let loose a kangaroo in the ring!?"
"The kangaroo is ignoring John Cena! He can't see John Cena! Cena is just as confused as we are!"
A weapon that gets stronger the worse your graphics card is. . . Finally, my time has come.
A game that stands with peasant, i'am all in
I just did an upgrade. Gosh darn it!
@@Unprotected1232 Just shove in your old gpu ...ooooooor remove it and use the port on the motherboard...bet you'll be a god then
laptop gamers swapping to their intel uhd 630 instead of the main GPU
intel hd 730 i will see how much my buff is.
May this series never end
As long as souls never dies this series will never die either 😂
Fr bro I was so happy to see this upload
Completely agreed on that. Like, I don't even like souls games but those videos are a highlight in my subscriptions feed.
Soulslikes never end
Hear hear!
I actually worked on Knights of the Kitchen Table as a sound designer, it was a student project at the college I went to. I made background music they didn't keep so nothing I made ended up in the final game, but it's still surreal to see it here!
What an odd decision to just... not include the music made for it.
@@Adu767 probably because the music sucked.
@@Adu767 I only had time to make like 4 tracks. There was music for the menu, level 1, regular enemy encounters and boss fights. I figure they didn't keep it because they couldn't find stock music to match what I had made for the rest of the game.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts just like your mom
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts or probably because it’s cheaper to get stock music than make someone make it so they took what little he did had him stop and just put it in the background tons of games delete full fledged quests that would have been amazing it’s not always about quality
Hey there! I was the lead developer for Knights of the Kitchen Table. It was made as a school project over the course of a year, and we threw it out there to see if it stuck. Thanks for the love and showing it off!
Might come back to polishing it up and adding more content if it gets enough popularity 😉
It looks like combat magic
i think its absolutely amazing for a school project. When i first saw the UI i was like ok checks out but man the swamp level? you should definitely polish this into the big game it can be
@@martinp1539 lmao, ok mr game critic
@@Kostadin_Arolski lol yeah look at that guy giving his opinion on the internet
Pineapple!
I'm Tom, Level Designer and 3D Artist for Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. I've been following you for a long time now, and seeing the game I'm working on on your series, and hearing the things you said about it and that you actually liked it is beyond freaking awesome!
Here at ACE Team we´re all fans of your dumpster diving series, and we can't wait for you to play the full game when it releases! 💪
Its impressive how weird your games look and thats a compliment through and through
It really has some striking character designs to be honest. Very interesting concepts!
Dude Clash looked so interesting on here. So attention grabbing and it just looks like something you wouldn't be able to put down to see what pops up next. Good on you guys, I'm definitely going to be picking this up
@@quantum174 hahaha we always take that as a compliment for all our games, thanks :D!
@@NightmareBlade10 Thanks! We have a very talented group of artists at ACE Team, you never know what they'll come up with haha
boy I hope mandragora gets some good work done on it, the style and animation is gorgeous it'd be a shame if it continues to suffer mechanically
Looks awesome!
Wiggler never dies
Ma Man needs to return to monster hunter ❤
It’s the cat boy!
Hot diggity it’s the man behind some of my favorite jingles.
That weird RPG stuff is actually the most unhinged, creative use of an RPG I could think of. That's unbridled creativity at work
i got interested on it and played for a bit, today i opened the game and left to have breakfast, after around 20 mins of the game on the main menu, my gpu use was at 100% and my gpu was at almost 90°C
I can't find it on steam
@@justhavefundude4825 GPU usage being at 100% while in game is normal though
@@justhavefundude4825GPU being at 100% is pretty normal.
Clash has some of the most intriguing art direction I’ve ever seen, absolutely stunning, hideous, and gorgeous. Simultaneously.
Oddworld vibes
Bro the " Grandpa is dead
-yes 🗿" had me dying 🤣
Yes
Where is it? Pls time link if you shout out things
@@Revilerify 4:40 sorry I should have thought of this
@@raphaelmagalhaes1187 thank you!
Psudo has no chill
The first game is really impressive and the art style is so cool. I’d love to see a big budget game come from that developer with that combat and style
Looks like an Oddworld game.
ACE team are pretty Goated imo, their games often lack polish but are really cool, i play them all; the only dud has been Sol Seraph. I would recommend you give Zeno Clash 2 a try, it's defo their most polished attempt, (it's only real flaw is that it's a little short) or Abyss Odyssey, though A0 combat is just not quite there, feeling a little floaty but it makes up for it in superb art, style and a pretty addictive structure.
@@Perkustin Damn, I have both Zeno Clashes but I didn't realize they also made Abyss Odyssey. So yeah, they're pretty solid overall.
I lost it at Warhaven's radio chat dialogue in the *medieval* game setting.
It's a mix of medieval and modern setting. For example: The guardian class can wear something that looks like a bomb suit or blade can wear mix of medieval armor and Molle vest. It's really interesting design.
It's so weird that it got me interested. But the global test is over and the community feedback wasn't... very good, it appears.
@@FlameJackstar what was the most worrying feedback that you saw?
@@FlameJackstar damn that sucks that it wasn't received well. the game looked pretty fun, kinda like mordhau but third person.
There was barbed wire and ww1-looking trenches in the tutorial too, maybe it's going for that aesthetic?
I love so much that there is a whole team of people out there so fervently dedicated to making mutant animal punching games over and over.
That first game you played clash artifacts of chaos was actually very amazing, took me by suprise how cool it actually was
Nah fr. It has mad potential but that demo was janky af
Wierd as freak but sound like a cool game
Welcome to Zenozoik, you're gonna get punched.
Funfact: the developers also made Batman Doom back in 1999 which is also worth checking out, if only for the sheer amount of autisn that went into the DeHacked editing for it.
I'd totally forgotten about Xenoclash, good lord...last saw it ages ago
I've had eldritch knowledge unlocked just now.
Hey Pineapple,
Composer from Path of the Faoladh here. I'm happy that you liked our game (and the music). Love your dumpster diving series. 😀
For a steam dumpster dive, 90% of the games were really good quality. This series is amazing!
Also he plays lots of games out of Steam for a series called Steam dumpster dive. Not that I'm complaining though.
it's like dumpster diving in the rich part of town sometimes lol
Hey, thanks so much for including Mandragora! It's great to hear what you liked about the pre-alpha and what you think needs more work. We're always taking feedback into account and our team is still working hard on all aspects of the game, especially regarding combat mechanics - so hopefully you'll also feel an improvement the next time you play! :)
The animations look so slick and fluid. Great job on those.
I will say the sound design rocks!
Been keeping an eye on your game. It looks great. Can't wait to play it.
Honestly a really impressive outing! Excited to see how your game pans out. It's definitely on my radar for sure.
Mandragora is what Castlevania should be in 2023 !!
Dang, that "updating level data" moment in Blind Fate was one of the coolest moments I've ever seen. A shame about... everything else in that game.
I very nearly went and bought it then-and-there. ...then I saw the rest of the gameplay.
The first game just radiates with God Hand energy with Oddworld Odyssey aesthetic . And the voice acting is actually good.
Odd Hand
That's right, it really has Oddworld vibes
I want more of it
It's interesting game
As martial art fan it's cool game but I don't like how weird the characters is 😂😂
The animations are also genuinely just really damn good. Like the attack animations may genuinely be the best i've seen from indie.
And incidentally, good attack animations is one of the best parts of the soulsborne games (save for DS2).
I'm a big fan of this video series and with this being episode 16, a future video idea might be to go back and list the best games you've found while dumpster diving and do a follow up on those that seemed promising, but were still in development to see how they turned out.
At this point it might also be a good idea to go back and put an episode number in the corner of the thumbnails / in the name of the videos as well so it's easier to tell them apart?
I think he's done it before, what he'll usually do is just include it in a future episode with an update from when he first played it.
@@GameDevYal Generally speaking CZcams's algorithm does not like numbered series, nor does somebody who has never seen a series. If episode 32 comes out than it is less likely for a person to click on that video. Maybe he can add a number to each video after the next part of the series is uploaded, that way the series is numbered, and his videos won't be drowned out by the algorithm.
I really like the creative aspects of blind fate, like it's a really good concept and world they just aren't landing the execution... At all..
Agreed, that would be great
Weird RPG is hilarious, and the talk-to-cast mechanic is novel and awesome.
Dem feels when he says "goodbye.. my bro" 23:24
I love the design of Clash. You can really tell they let their artists get as creative as they want and I really appreciate that
Even as someone who sucks at soulslikes, even the star wars one, I am tempted to give it a try as the design is so awesome
I played Zeno CLash one Xbox360 more than 10 years ago and boy, what a weird trip it was.... in a good way. Phenomenal artistic feeling of "Malaise", almost felt like a colourful nightmare sometimes. That studio is really cool.
Yea, y'all have to play Zeno Clash 1 and 2, same fever dream of absolute creativity, I love these games!
The Zeno Clash games had such an awesome art style, so happy to see another game from them.
"skill issue" has to be the funniest death screen ever
Yeah, I hope I can mod this in Elden Ring.
33:19
overused and unoriginal meme like “ratio”
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 don't make me say it.
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 give us an original funny meme then
The clash artifacts of chaos voice acting was absolutely on point. Get the guy who played pseudo a goddamn contract bro deserves it
Every single time you say "Welcome to episode _n_ of steam dumpster diving" I am simultaneously overwhelmed by two feelings. One, "I can't believe he's reached _that_ many episodes!" Two, "I can't believe how much I want to watch _more."_
They'll never stop making souls-inspired games, so no worry there.
I await this every time. One of my most anticipated series
Zeno Clash is one of my favorite Indy game series. Thanks for showing the new game off, looks very promising.
I used to be obsessed with the first one when I was younger, hearing about it again just sent me into a nostalgia trip
9:53 i feel like the dev came up with the name Warden Gamsey, while he was watching hells kitchen and made an entire game around it.
If you pay attention to Edo no yami's background objects you'll notice that in between checks the water/fog/moving of objects is frozen due to your character not seeing it in real time.
Love how the player character in Clash has such a badass baritone only to whimper like a wizened old prune when he gets hurt
The blind fate concept seems dope af imo, some bigger company should do something like that and actually put the time in to make it good.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos has a really cool oddworld vibe, I'm looking forward to the full release
Pine can straight up release a video with the same name an infinite number of times and I'll still be here to immediately click on it
Because we know, that he delivers great content - weird, funny and interesting.
I get so stoked whenever i see it
I wish every time he made a new one he would add an "ever" to title, like " souls games you've never ever ever ever heard of"
Clash looks like one of those arts you did where you had no idea what you were doing but it turned out really good. The game looks super interesting
I love weird sort of janky but not janky games like that.. comes out early March on playstation, def gonna grab it
Feels inspired by Moebius and the like, who definitely knew what he was doing
I swear, every time a new one of these is released, I end up rewatching the whole series. They are just so entertaining.
In case you weren't aware, you're a pillar of this community and your content is top shelf
I would even say that he is a top shelf of this community
Just as top shelf as the bud I am smoking
Cringe
I Think this is true
Pillar of what community? The souls community? I guess? I kind of feel like the souls community is dying honestly. Metallic Fruit only posted a few videos about elden ring after launch, and none of them were PvP. He makes good content for sure, but most of his videos focus on soulslikes rather than the souls games they were inspired by.
Warhaven honestly looks so off the wall with its theme i love it
It’s made by nexon so it will. Likely be pay to win and heavily favored in the east and the west version will lose attention and die out. That’s how every game they make works
@@EmJayproductions1 im familiar with nexon so i wouldnt be surprised if it went this way. still if lightning were to strike i wouldnt mind if it struck here, because that game looks hilarious.
Yeah its very mordhau comedic moments and for honor gameplay
a bit sad it looks like a For Honor rip off with its animations and UI
@@razarac432 Good thing Warhaven plays absolutely nothing like that dumpster fire then
In defense of Pain Party, in multiplayer, you don't die in 1 hit and you get back up when you get hit. you only get sent back to the beginning if you fall off the level. Also I think the souls-like comes with the boss battles where the janky combat system becomes the main focus, but boss battles are single player only
This still sounds like they have a lot to reconcile.
@@CaptainDoomsday oh yeah it's a bad game for sure, but multiplayer does solve the greatest frustration he's had with the game
yeah the game started off as 'gym souls', but then somewhere along the way it turned into this weird fall guys rage game thing. seemed like it was supposed to be like fight dudes in a giant gym dungeon from all the early twitter previews, but then the dev just decided to turn it into a party game? idk why. they made gone golfing, which was a fun horror game where you have to mini golf quickly or get killed by monsters, but then pain party and their new demo for godfist just are unfun. also gone golfing had like a weird amount of updates, most of them just odd compared to the main game mode, not bad, but just like strange. it feels like icehelm made a fun game on accident one time and since then just like have been ignoring if the game is great to play or not.
@@teddyras his games are definitely just hard for being hard's sake. he's like the puppet combo of soulslikes😅
@@cactuss33ds...puppet combo games aren't that hard my guy, save for their early stuff like Nun Massacre and Power Drill Massacre.
The art style and sound effects in mandragora were really impressive, I didn't expect such impactful sounding combat from an indie game
I actually REALLY dig the art style on Clash. I'd love to see some more talent get onboard and really turn it into something more deep and fleshed out.
It's surprisingly not bad. There are many cool ideas and a lot of potential there
They also made the eternal cylinder, which actually got some real attention so its good to see them again.
This gona be DEEP AND FLESHED OUT!
Deep and flashed out, you sound like urnalists from kotaku or something or cheap PR agent.
@@chrishall8765100% would erase my memory just to play this game for the first time again
ACE team also made The Eternal Cylinder, which is one of my favorite games. It’s a bizarre, story-driven survival game that involves avoiding a giant crushing cylinder.
They also made rock of ages. Which I always thought landed on the more well known side of the spectrum
I'm happy they're still around making weird games.
Sounds like ACE Team just likes making weird-ass games, huh. I respect it.
The Deadly Tower of Monsters deserves more love too. Simple twin-stick shooter that turns into one of the best homage/parodies of B-Movies I've seen. Excellent stop-motion effects and truly insane fourth wall breaks.
Yeah. TEC gotta be one of the most inspiring things I've ever played, watched and listened to in my life. The game's fan community is also very nice.
Whoever made the Art for the Arifact clash game should get hired by every studio ever.... it's so unique i love it
The Clash game looks like so much fun tbh definitely gonna keep an eye on it
I love how involved the intro has become, not even 30 seconds into the video and you've already dropped like 5 visual gags back-to-back (that also get each point across perfectly)
Weird RPG is one of the coolest things I've seen in gaming in ages. The potential for a game like that if it was actually taken seriously to create an immersive and massive unique world is incredible.
At first I didn't get it but then the microphone control part came and yes
The developer just decided that he would follow the rule of cool and do crack while doing it lmao
exactly what i thought we need those kind of game, its a brease of fresh air
It's kinda boring tho and after first world if choose to go to wrong world you will have to grind from start or restart game as you absolutely will not be able to progress. It has potential but it's little too grindy.
I played this game before. The gimmick wears off quickly. There aren't many items with interesting mechanics in the game. There like less than 10 ive seen with something "unique". Its still mostly just a really generic and ugly diablo clone with mobile ui. All the enemies are generic, all the environments are generic, and worst of all it is grindy as you get further in. You cant just add a handful of silly items and all of sudden claim your game is "weird".
Clash actually looks amazing. Gonna give it a try for sure
Love the art style of Clash. It would work for an animated series.
I'm so glad you mentioned Zeno Clash. Such a bizarre, one of a kind game.
The mechanic of having your skeleton find your corpse in Clash is very similar to the game Mortal Shell. That's also a Souls-like and currently on sale btw. I think the devs even said they were trying to do their own twist on Dark Souls or something like that. Otzdarva did a playthrough when it was released.
He's covered it on this channel, I'm almost certain. (Otherwise I wouldn't have commented.)
I've heard mortal shell doesn't really have any varied environments and that it was mostly just inside a forest or some shit
@@user-lh7mt7zo7l it has seperate environments, it’s a very good game but has its moments
@@user-lh7mt7zo7l tried it and was bored shitless ngl...
4:42 what the heck was the tone in that "yes"? LMAO
It's like:
"Grandpa's dead :("
*chad meme* "Yes."
I have to say that the microphone based damage in Weird RPG is pretty awesome. I don’t know how it’d hold up thru a whole game, but innovative idea anyway. 👍
I mean it's a good item for streamers or youtubers who do have to talk a lot but likely not good in a normal players build.
My partner plays games by freaking out until they die or succeed. I could see that making them very successful
Could be fun in a magic game where you have to say the spell you're casting. Would probably still need to be a supplemental element where your basic spells you can cast innately. Those old Harry Potter games where you had to trace the spell pattern in the air to pass classes is what I thought of first. Something like that.
Watching the production quality of your channel grow over the years has been one of the best parts lmao, the Elite Knight animations are just getting better and better
The art style and creativity in that first game is freaking awesome!
i dont know if its only me but it reminded me a bit of the Borderlands art style
@@St4rKill3r14 yeah it have some of its cartoonish/comic-ish vibes
@@St4rKill3r14 to me, It felt so much more like Oddworld type stuff. Abe's Odysee etc. etc.
@@GentleMannOfHats had to Google for that and now I remember that game, ur right
Reminded me of Giants Citizen Kabuto
The trailer for Clash was the first time I watched a youtube ad and went "hmm, let me check this out" in the years I've been watching videos. Wishlisted immediately.
Bro whoever made the animations for zeno clash and artifacts of chaos need a raise. They look so good
Damn that first game had surprisingly good sounding voice acting.
Some of the best VA in an indie game that I've seen. They hired pro actors for that.
Words cannot describe how much I enjoy every video of this series lmao
Every now and then I watch the whole series again
Wow - at 30:10, the big boss has animations to keep the lantern on a stick in the background, even when he turns around to face left.
The animator of that boss here:
Don't even mention it. It was a complete pain in the ass to make this big guy work. He has a bodybag on his back, with the lantern so it's asymmetric. But the way the turning
around is done in the game makes is really hard to do asymmetric stuff work. So I had to fiddle with them around in the turn animations and eye it so it doesn't jerks around when he's going from one animation to an other.
Long story short, it's nice to see someone noticed it. At least now I feel like all that extra work was not in vain :D
@@bookfish Was the boss inspired by Yorick from League of Legends or is the resemblance coincidental?
Clash: artifacts of chaos just seems so weird that it's oddly good... idk how to explain it lol. 4:39 idk why, that scene just threw me off so hard, but I guess I can relate to it lol. 6:31 It's like old school corpse runs. Lmao, 7:00 it takes the best of what dark souls has to offer.
I feel like that blind mechanic would work really well in a game, but as like a level gimmick rather than a "This is always the case" type deal. Like a Cyberpunk game where your cyber eyes get hacked or something like that. Just feels like a bit much to have for the whole game imo
I think one of the Deus Ex games had a segment like that, where the MCs augmentations get shut off and you have a boss fight with fucked up vision to deal with
I honestly really like that first game. Just needs bug fixes and it could actually be a viable game.
Also that camera needs to get fixed/loosened. Really dislike it
Viable? it looks amazing, it is a work of art.
Its looks amazing fr
It’s not out until February next year, so hopefully they’ll patch up a bit. ACE Team is always interesting, even when their ideas don’t quite work
I fell in love with Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. That game is something else
I am forever indebted to you for reminding me of Zeno Clash. I loved those games as a kid and could never remember what they were called or enough about them to find them. THANK YOU!!!
Iron Pineapple is the embodiment of the mother meme telling their kid they have dark souls at home
The editing of this video is outstanding. They're all good, but I have noticed that each video has been better than the last. Great work, that hard work is seen and appreciated.
Oh my god Clash looks dope. As soon as you mentioned it was Ace Team I was curious (Zeno Clash!!! Rock of Ages!), but watching that gameplay I am SOLD. Their games have so much style and feeling and excellent gameplay, and Clash Artifacts of Chaos looks to be their biggest and maybe best so far.
And yet I hadn't heard about it from anywhere else before now, which is crazy. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna watch the rest of it now, lmao.
Clash is giving me big Absolver vibes. I played Zeno Clash 1 and I loved it, definitely keeping an eye on this!
Stop! Buddy you can't keep doing this! It's only a matter of time until you go hollow!
He will be a hollow knight
@@fishgiovaana8441 He’ll get mauled by hornets
As long as he has a purpose he won't hollow. It's only when he gives up that he will start to hollow
That first game looks awesome, super unique and interesting! Like something that came put in the mid two thousands! I really miss games like this! Everyone plays it so safe these days!
The first game had an incredible art style.
I love everything Ace Team has done to date, especially Zeno Clash, their work is just so unique! I am looking forward to going back to Zenozoik!
Thanks for bringing it to people's attention, I am hoping this gets more traction than Eternal Cylinder!
I just recently bought and finished Northern Journey, which was pretty incredible and I absolutely never would have heard of if it weren’t for your video on it, so THANK YOU for shouting out these obscure, often bad, but always interesting games!
funfact: ACE team's first game was the Batman Doom mod. A pretty fantastic total conversion mod where you play as the Azrael Batman (the 90's batman that had guns and flamethrowers on his wrists) gunning down various villains in gotham
so glad to see someone else super geeked about how weird zeno clash is, i love it
This made me want to play zenoclash 1+2 again, man I love those games. So happy that Clash is on it's way, I know I'm going to love getting lost looking at that world.
Man I absolutely loved the Zeno Clash games. Don’t even remember where I learned about them. Thrilled there’s a new Clash and that it looks so wild
The gift that keeps on giving.
Dude, Weird RPG is absolutely inspired. Giving buffs to sub-optimal PCs? Beautiful.
I love the goofy artstyle of clash so much! It's so zany, and weird!
Also sidenote:
Man is on a mission with these games. Keep up the good work Iron!
The first game is likely going to go far. They've got a style (weird ass alien worlds and creatures) and it's worked a lot for them so far. I've heard good things about The Eternal Cylinder, at least.
Here's hoping they can polish Clash up and get a final release.
"The monsters is getting more". That's basically what happens when I spend my night overthinking.
That first game has a great art style and looks like a lot of love went into it. Mandragora looks like it could be good.
bruh the voice acting and music of that first game were awesome
30:25 that's straight up Yorick from league
Dude, I love ACE Team. I was all over them back in the day because of how surrealist their work is. It doesn't seem as solid as Zeno Clash (even though that was buggy as well), but I still love their world design. Another game they made which I liked a lot is Abyss Odyssey.
The only one I know from them is rock of ages, and it was terrible. : /
Every time this series gets another entry I am filled with joy
First one is straight up God of war/Demon Souls mixe up with goofy "badass" characters and it's amazing freaking piece of art at times
Mandragora's visual and art style stood out to me a lot personally. Many games try to do full realism today and I love that they went with this art style. Can't wait to see the whole game.
Looks a bit generic tho
I love that each video in the series gets longer and longer . Seriously I will be so happy for a 2 hour episode.
This series is long enough now that it officially qualifies as a souls like in of itself.
may the soulslikes keep coming in
I just realized that pineapple's voice starts off pretty deep with each game but then progressively gets higher, and can't unhear it now
The Clash: Artifacts of Chaos looks very cool actually
“Bread make bread go up. High bread good. Low bread bad.”
Truer words have never been spoken. 🍞
When he got hit by that falling chandelier you could hear the chain snap before he even got to the bridge. So any future hits taken from it is all on the player. More games should use audio cues to warn you of traps, it’s pretty cool.
First one was actually kind of fun, it is lacking in a few departments and certainly needs more polishing but potential is there.
Zeno Clash and its sequel are great. Their Actraiser clone was pretty good too. Ace Team is great.
