So after the Steam Sale I bought this little hidden gem called Aquaria and holy fucking shit.
This game is amazing. It's a metroidvania, and though I haven't played anything from either metroidvania or castlevania I can objectively say this shit is better. That and it comes with a top-tier waifu.
You're being too obvious. Want to around and try again?
Zachary Cruz
Shut the fuck up, reddit, and stop trying to perpetuate the Holla Forums doesn't play games shit. Aquaria is a great game. Atmosphere, secrets, gameplay, soundtrack, it just delivers. That said, She falls in love with the first, completely uncharacterised man she sees. Definitely not the game's strongest moment.
Kevin Hernandez
No.
Samuel Fisher
He was quoting the OP, dumbass.
The game has a nice soundtrack, but I haven't played it myself.
Ethan Watson
It's good, but the devs are complete SJW. Just look up Anita's curator recommedations on Steam.
Nolan Mitchell
I thought I was on Holla Forums but I must have clicked on Holla Forums instead, my bad.
Christopher Clark
You're not "their audience", dedanon.
Ian Cook
it's shit and OP is a shill
Caleb Phillips
Aquaria came out in 2007. Alec Holowka is still a massive kool-aid drinking cuck,
Ian Lopez
this
Joshua Stewart
...
Daniel Sullivan
I shill this game every time one of these threads pop up.
Grayson Garcia
have you heard of this game that came out recently? it's like skyrim but in a post apocalyptic world and it's so fun. I can't remember then name but it's something like "falling out"or "all out" 4
Alexander Garcia
...
Easton Price
That sounds like a really interesting game fellow anonymous person.
Jordan Ramirez
The only thing that game had going for it was the music. Everything else wan't terrible, it was just horribly mediocre. It also came across as kind of pretentious, but I guess that's to be expected from an indie hipster.
Evan Lopez
Get out.
Ian Hughes
>devs are SJW faggots havent posted any proof or facts
Christian Reed
Who wouldn't buy a game from hitler?
Jacob Jackson
normalfags and jews?
Samuel Jones
There is no video game named metroidvania
Gabriel Sanchez
What is this? Looks like some kind of TRPG.
Evan Powell
And SJW devs too, fuck off OP
Jeremiah Morris
Aquaria is shit.
its slow, both in movement and in pace.
the exploration is boring. I rather explore a dungeon crawler because the caves all look the same and the stage design is boring.
boring as fuck game.
James Foster
Looks comfy. Is it finished or is this early access shit?
Jackson Rodriguez
This sounds like your typical Steam user review. You're not doing anything to help your case, user. Post a fucking gameplay_footage.webm and write an actual thought out description on what makes this game so great. Shit OP, shit thread, and it's probably a shitty game, too.
John Butler
Good job of fucking up the thread from post one.
Nice!
Don't bump the shit thread then.
Lucas Martinez
Hey, look, I see where you're coming from, but there's no point in saging a thread when it can so easily be "counter saged". Sage is not a downvote. The only way shit threads to die is when people stop posting in them all together.
Caleb Morgan
That 'steak' is some vegan patty that tastes like cardboard and grass because the ideology of the cook is all meat eaters are evil.
Logan Morris
Alec Holokowa being a huge SJW now doesn't ruin Aquaria the game continues to be awesome. Unfortunately it ruined all the games he could have made in the future. After Aquaria he started working on another metroidvania where the main character was a marionette girl looked like it would be a new game similar to Aquaria. Now though he's making a side-scrolling adventure game about gender-neutral furries where you play as a lesbian cat.
Jayden Sanders
I remember trying the Aquaria demo back when it came out and not only is it not really a Metroid-like game at all but it's also boring as shit.
John Cox
I've never seen this game being talked about on Holla Forums I find it pretty good and had a lot of fun with it, the devs took a lot of time to make it complete with all the characters and weapons but it was worth the wait
John Brooks
he's from before video games or electronics were even a thing so he would have no understanding on how to into gaming and the game would suck.
Josiah Anderson
I love this game. Nice graphics Nice emviroment Nice exploration Beatyfull music Lots of collectives a Middly entretaining crafting sistem Interesting bosses The sotry is underwhelming though. that the only low point of the game
Edgy cAAAsuals on Holla Forums like to hate on it cus it was developed by one of the 5 Guys Burgers & Fries
Don't be a sheep oveying the hive mind, quality games ought to be supported. but if you really really hate the devs just pirate the thing and promote the torrent. The game itself us great, and that is what makes people want to buy it, if you do not want the devs to earn money out of it then pirate it yourself and share the torrent, because this game's goodnes ain't just gonna magically dissapear just because some random Fallout/Skyrim/MOBA/Sandbox/FPS/MMO fanboys says it's shit
The reason we hate hippsters is becuase they make shitty non games like Life is Strange, Sunset, Depression Quest and Gone Homo. Or because they are obnoxious code stealing assholes like Phill Fish But the moment one of thems actually makes something good we should not just shit on it cus it was made by one of them but rather support it to send a clear message to all other hippsters out there saying: This is the minimum quality an average gamer expect form his game. If hippsters think people will shit on them for who they are even when they actually make something good, they will relly even harder on the indie/SanFranshitsco circlejerk to earn Shekkels throug cronyism and nepotism and won't give 2 shits about making quality games poisoning the indie well even further
TLDR Fuck the haters support the games you like Merit>Identity
Nolan Lopez
This nigga knows. One of the few kickstarted games that actually delivered on everything. Only issue I've got with it is that navigation abilities take up special ability slots meaning you have to either gimp your combat capabilities or be actually good at combat but be incapable of actually navigating shit, so in the end you gotta mess around with the menus every 30 seconds.
Jeremiah Watson
i tried aquaria and did not like it but i am glad you are happy
John Perry
Fucking hidden gem right here. Exploration, skill-based bosses that reward you for doing well, intriguing setting and story, it's got everything.
Jason Hill
Nigger, it's one of the most well-known indie titles out there.
More games should do what it did and let you fight unarmed while making it fun. I immediately unequipped the sword when I realized I could.
Lincoln Thompson
Yeah it's a bit annoying especially if you play with a magic build but you can play gilda who doesn't need most of it
Zachary Allen
Great game, I found out about it because someone posted it in a tread made to shit on indies. I'm really looking forward to the secuel after that cliffhanging ending… they will make a sequel right? Aquaria had a cliffhanger ending to but that ain't never gonna have a sequel
Ryan Jenkins
way , way too many timed puzzles in it ; it just ruined the pace for me
Jason Hughes
Eroico is really fucking hard I just want to jerk off but the game keeps making me play it.
Eli Miller
i know , same shit with kurovadis and parasite in the city ; thankfully there are alternatives where you can play the bad gal and do the molesting instead
Joseph Campbell
I'm honestly surprised at the amount of viable builds in that game. It's almost like they put actual thought into that shit.
From what I know they do plan on a sequel but they're doing a TRPG sequel to Legend of Fate as a lighter in-between project first.
Gabriel Hernandez
could any of you guys post the name of the devs or any more specific info on this, i tried searching for a demo or a trailer of these but "eroico" is way to generic a word for this specific game to show up in the searches
Alexander Cruz
If the cook is a liberal faggot that wants to destroy all restaurants and my country, I sure as hell won't buy him a steak.
Is that game in english and where do I acquire it?
Landon James
The cook is bad but not the dish, if you wanna hurt his sales, share the torrents cus shitting on a good stake just cus you don't like the cook makes you sound like a retard
Jackson Robinson
Wait a second, Is that a hokuto no Ken fighting game for the gameboy?
Joshua Phillips
Dude this is same thing as a sjw not buying a game because it's "problematic".
You're just missing out on a good steak you probably weren't going to pay for amyway.
The difference is that I buy steaks, SJWs don't so enjoy getting bankrupt because you couldn't keep your shitty opinions for yourself.
Brandon Bailey
This is why I added the "weren't going to pay for" part, you absolute fucking nigger. You do not have to pay for the game, because pirating exists. This way, you can enjoy the good steak, not have to support an sjw, and not sound like a faggot.
Gabriel Flores
I tried recording something but OBS just isn't working well for me now. Have some guy doing cool combos for Orcs Must Die's first level.
Easton Howard
so? just because the game was made by someone you don't like it doesn't automatically become shit
You mindlessly shitting over quality cus you don't like the guy who made it just serves the porpouse of the talentles hippster indie clicke who cannot survive on the merit of their talent and needs to rely on the circlejerk to prosper withing the industry
If someone makes something good that you like, tell him with your wallet that this is the proper way to prosper withing the Vydia industry, cus if you're just mindlesly shitting on it cus of "reasons" these talented people will just relly even more on the lazy talentles circlejerk and make low effort crap like Gone Homo
Hell if you really hate the dev, pirate his game, but don't shit on it, let the market know that, this type of game is popular, so that the market follows this dierction, if you shit on it mindlesly despite it's quality, you will only get more Sunsets and Depression Quest
Ryder Campbell
Toki Tori 2 will never be taken seriously because of the graphics and the fact that the first game sucked. It's a great puzzle game, however and I urge everyone who likes 2D side scroll puzzle games to try it out.
What about Yu?
Great game but some bosses are absolutely bullshit.
Damn, those gifs look good. Source?
Jeremiah Bennett
I am as honest as they come and these men speak the truth.
Chase Johnson
I could agree with you regardgin Shu Gohth and Treu but the others really are great
Ayden Watson
Best srpg and literally nobody talks about it. This game has it's own fucking internet in it its fuckin' insane, limb based damage, the robots ARE CALLED WANZERS. Pick it up now or else your a faggot.
Henry Collins
It's a fucking masterpiece. I bought it on launch because it came out on sale during a steam sale and they gave you a voucher (that stacked with the sale) if you had one of their other games.
And then they went bankrupt because apparently that was the only copy they sold.
Brayden Wood
I remember playing the demo for this and liking it. But I was such a poor fag as a kid that I never got around to buying it.
Lucas Hall
Downloading now, thanks for reminding me this existed. Been on my "to emulate" list for a while.
Samuel Phillips
...
Jeremiah Hall
To my knowledge Derek Yu only gives a damn about making video games.
And the source of those gifs is Fae Tactics, by Endless Fluff. Same people as Valdis Story.
Everything Front Mission is fucking amazing. Yes, even Evolved.
Gabriel Young
I've played a bit of that, too. I should finish it but I wanna finish Gunvalken first, which is really fucking tough because even though the shmup parts seem easy compared to other games in the genre I'm absolutely shit at shmups
Elijah Stewart
thats a shame but whatever. heres a secret you should all know by now, their revenue doesnt come from game sales
Justin Gray
Everything is fucked.
Ryder Jackson
Really? I've always held off on playing it because a lot of people shat on it
Speaking of which I'm recommending this if you can't get your hands on 2017, 2025 or 4.1. I can't find a commentary-less playthrough of IA but still it's a great game even if you just play it solo if you're really itching for EDF. It's also pretty funny from what I remember
Explain.
Gavin Johnson
and if it werent them it would be giant jews like ea and bethesda. in fact its both. so just do what you want. no boycotting will save anything. if you want to make a difference youll have to make games, and even then you wont drive the bad guys away because you arent blocking any money going towards them. but you might encourage others to follow suit only to later fall to the darkside as they all do
Lucas Thomas
Well I might've over-exaggerated, but it's still a decent TPS/mech action game. The single player campaign was too fond of making you go on foot indoors instead of making you pilot wanzers and the multiplayer which was breddy gud is a ghost town nowadays if the servers are even up still.
Brayden Turner
EDF 4.1 for PC never ever
Aaron Rivera
This game was developed like 10 years ago.
James Martin
What game is this?
Robert Richardson
It might come at some point. Might. Still Insect Armageddon isn't a bad game, in fact in my opinion it's pretty damned good. It's just not as good as the Sandlot ones.
Anyways. neon chrome. Same dudes as Crimsonland, pretty good fun although it being a roguelite might put people off.
Nathan Lewis
look
Owen Brooks
(checked) Last time, when that sentence was used, game was finally released. Be careful with that. :^)
Isaac Smith
steamdb.info/sub/81620/info/ This got leaked when there was an exploit with the Steamworks dev API last year. Valve has since made it impossible to retrieve the name of a package by id alone since, but this thing exists.
Colton Johnson
Hey, I'm hoping for that speculation about the steamdb page to pay off as much as you anons, but holy fuck we've been waiting quite a while for some definitive proof.
Also, for anybody looking for some arcade-y mech action, give Gun Metal a try. Although make sure you use a gamepad, the KB+mouse controls suck horsecock
Christian Ross
Great humor, fun gameplay that doesn't take itself seriously at all.
Some RNG bullshit as per usual in a rogue like but this game makes no excuses for what it is. Give it a try if you haven't, it's cheap as hell.
Samuel Hill
and the music. something about roguelikes brings the best vidya musicians
Adrian Powell
Good to see at least someone else has played DoD. Have you beat Dredmor? I've gotten to him twice but died.
John Brooks
She realized she no longer had to pretend to play games.
Brody Sanchez
Oh, man. I loved that game when it came as a pack-in with my old graphics card. It came together with pic related which had the same gimmick. And was also pretty gud.
Actually one of the best introductions to actual roguelikes together with ToME(which is free if you get it from it's site but has expansions behind a paywall). Really clever character creation system too. My favorite is still Ancient Domains of Masochism, despite being kinda bullshit.
Brody Kelly
...
Nathan Jones
I ask you the same as .
Everyone I know who played the game which are my friends I convinced to play it haven't been able to beat the game.
Alexander Watson
fuck no im awful. i couldnt put together a coherent skill set to save my life.
James Bell
You should get cancer and die for having such godawful taste.
t. user who has played and beaten the game with every character, so go fuck yourself.
Also, fuck Valdis Shitstain.
Shit, the timed puzzles were one of the few things I actually enjoyed. I was actually disappointed when they casualized them in the newer versions. Your timing had to be perfect in the older versions, but since the update, any mouth-breathing retard can do them.
Josiah Cruz
I've only gotten to Dredmor a couple of times, but I only have like 20 hours in the game. Since you're getting deep, I guess you have your skill builds in order, but I would still recommend avoiding mixing archetypes as much as possible since it gimps your stat gains massively. Also encrusting is love, encrusting is life. Stack that shit as much you can on good enchanted items.
But seriously, don't get frustrated for not beating a proper roguelike. It took me 5 years to beat NetHack legit for the first time.
Jeremiah Lopez
Whoops, that should be This fucking game has so many design flaws it's not even funny. I remember when the fucking double jump was a spell. A motherfucking spell, that took up one of your spell slots, and cost mana to use.
Nicholas Hill
what action games do you recommend then?
Eli Parker
Trips of truth, encrusting is love.
My favorite builds involve clockwork knight and tinkering. Too strong to ignore.
Aiden Taylor
Wait a minute Battle Engine Aquila is on PC? Holy shit I'm gonna look for this now. Thanks user
Jason Lewis
It's obvious you are a retard, why did you play the game so much if you hate it ? I know about all the bosses and i beat them all with an S rank, i was just saying treu and Sho Gohth are boring.
Ayden Ortiz
Mah neger. Fisting enemies from across the room never gets old.
I didn't even know it was on Xbox till I encountered it in a bargain bin couple of years ago.
Tyler Long
play with the nude mod to offset the devs being sjws
Kayden Cruz
Noitu Love 2 is really good. Especially if you liked Gunstar Heroes.
Matthew Gray
if its so shit, why did you play it so many times? Must have been enjoying yourself eh?
Joshua Lopez
So it's shit then?
Nicholas Jackson
Best mech series. I don't like the gameplay of 1 and 2 is only half translated.
Christian Myers
Don't listen to him, Evolve is shit. Just pretend it doesn't exist.
Juan Fisher
too bad the creator became a swede cuck that follows the problem crew
Asher Hill
You're easy to spot in a crowd
Ryder Thomas
ITT: sjw cuck tries to convince others to buy shit products and fails
Lucas Lopez
I've been wondering, are there any "cinematic platformers"(aka games where the controls are a bit heavy and weighty akin to Prince of Persia, Oddworld or Another World/Out Of This World) recently made?
And I'm not talking about poser shit like The Way.
Also if anyone has played a game called Goliath, is it any good? It looks kind of like bastion but faster and with mecha so I'm pretty interested.
In the meanwhile, here's Kung Fu strike, a game I've been shilling for quite some time. It's a very fun 3D beat em up with kung fu moves, really hard levels and some pretty fucking radical abilities like being able to run on the heads of enemies(although it's locked behind gold and the gold you get from first time completion and challenges aren't enough to unlock everything). Here's a magnet link because it's not really for everyone and the devs seem to have never existed past making this game.
Protip: Press the jump kick button, then wait till Shan hits the floor and press it again, then do it one more time when Shan hits the floor again. You'll do a very powerful spinning kick that also counts as a mini critical hit against enemy chi moves. Also in the air press normal attack once and then press it again and hold it, it'll do a bicycle kick hit string which is in my opinion of the strongest hit strings in the game. When normally attacking, pause for half a second and continue pressing the attack button and Shan will do a hand palm move that also counts as a mini critical hit. Your first normal chi move(dragon kick I think it was called) deals all the damage in one hit so it's the best move for critical hits). Play on normal difficulty first because for some reason some abilities unlock only on normal while others unlock only on hard mode. Try and get the low kick attack(I must admit I forgot where it was, but I think it was in the range of the first 8 levels on normal or easy mode). Don't bother wasting money on different rush attacks like lightning kick or that one 10K thing that just makes you jab very fast, you'd be better off with actual moves. Finally the game doesn't explain it but rolling and then parrying does a much faster but shorter lasting parry animation. Some attacks(like the level 4 boss, the swordsman, require multiple parries) I think you could cheat yourself gold or unlock everything but personally I've never done it so I don't know where to do so.
Oh fuck don't tell me this, I've been waiting on The Iconoclasts for quite some time now.
Nathan Brooks
My fucking nigger! This is the first time I found someone on Holla Forums that has seen the true light and beauty of toki tori. I think the devs are closing down semi-voluntarily, tho. They said something about not being able to keep up with the games industry. Their last game is coming out in September. Have you played Full Bore? Similar game but more block based.
Alexander Turner
Also a forthcoming warning, the 8 levels that start with you in like a tomb room fighting statues and four levels later you are poisoned and fighting women, those are the worst fucking levels in the entire game and are absolute infuirating bullshit. Stick through them though and you go to a fighting tournament, which in my opinion is the best four levels in the game but the final boss of those four levels is a cheap, ball breaking and complete fuck
Ryan Sullivan
Most recent one I've played that even remotely fits the genre is Deadlight, but it isn't good. There's also that new game Inside which looks like it might be one, but a) no piracy because of Denuvo and b) it doesn't really look that good either.
Isaac Cox
Dude should stick to fantasy.
Andrew Edwards
im not sure if this would qualify as a 'hidden' gem. but its a neat platformer with quite a few secrets
Evan Diaz
sorry bro, it began last year
dude went to some event and "met" Maya, know he retweets Rami, the who, and Sterling among others
Jackson Garcia
...
Isaiah Carter
This looks like THE WORK OF SOMEONE WHO CONSORTS WITH BEASTS
God damnit. What's a good metroid-ish game? I liked Guacamelee's secret platforming sections and the inferno challenges and Ori as a whole.
Sebastian Bennett
some other great flash games
Aiden Ross
have you played this rabbit game? rabi ribi also came out recently but i havent gotten around to trying it. i have no idea what its platforming is like, only that it has tough bosses.
Thomas King
...
Noah Diaz
METAL FATIGUE
do you like giant mechs fighting? do you like stealing tech from your enemies? do you like three different planes to fight on at the same time?
this is your game, it's a old RTS that still works on win 7 and it is very good
Liam Scott
Is it a squad-based kind of thing like MechCommander? Or more traditional RTS with base-building and shit?
Cool, just wanted to know what I was in for before going in. I'm shit at RTS but I've been looking for more mech games recently
Samuel Clark
it's abit clunky but the mech fighting in it is really good
Mason Martinez
Man, that mech has a great ass.
James Long
parallelling The Little Mermaid
Ayden Thomas
You know I never noticed before but you're right, that mech has ass cheeks
Nathaniel Garcia
That looks really neat, thanks.
David Sullivan
user, please lead off with second part next time. I got a debilitating case of blue balls now
Sebastian Mitchell
you say you have balls but I aint seeing them
Asher Rodriguez
I like RTS fine. Mind got ahead of itself at the thought of bashing a mech in real time and stealing their shit like Mega Man
Cameron Ramirez
you have to blow the mech up and hope the part you want didn't blow up then send a construction unit to go get it into the mech pad or if your mech had a arm blown off just pick it up but legs and torsos need a construction unit
Caleb Ross
dev finished all the chapters some time ago
havent played beyond some missions, but you can move free when not in combat, when you enter combat its by turns and stuff you can make your qt character as aryan only, becuase europe is white, i wanted to make her delicious brown, but it makes sense you can only choose white for the story, and choose from a range of personalities and abilities. trigger warning it contains this is a fucking spoiler faggot for real stop now! ok if you really want to know rape, it triggered some tumblrfags and bitched about it and demanded to be removed, dev told them to go fuck themselfs respect his artistic vision. steamcommunity.com/app/72900/discussions/0/540732889064349922/?tscn=1391881772 ami the only faggot that played this game?
Christopher Wright
Anyone have a game that lets me play as either a skeleton or a necromancer (preferably both). TOME has kept me busy for a while but im getting tired of it
Carson Powell
...
Logan Ramirez
I just read the rest on the blacklist and didnt know that VN was so lewd.
Bentley Green
Aquaria is a comfy little game but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's even near things like Super Metroid or SotN
Still managed to make me 100% it in 3 sittings.
Eli Parker
I have played it, it was neat but I got completely lost and couldn't figure out where to navigate, this was pretty early on.
Austin Nguyen
there will never be a HQ release with working servers and a better lobby
Dominic Nelson
Cucks.
Ethan Baker
Fuck off, dubs
Cameron Myers
Fuck off, dubs
Christopher Lopez
Medievil's all I've got for you.
And I think there's a medieval 2 total war mod that lets you play as a skeleton army but otherwise you're out of luck unless you want to play Diablo 2.
Jason Reed
What does it play like? More combat heavy or platforming heavy or something more exploration focused or what
Bentley Ward
I would say the emphasis is on puzzle and exploration, there's some platforming and combat but its definitely focused on the puzzles and exploring.
Christopher Hall
I want Reddit to leave already.
Parker Morales
agreed, one of my favourite games, too bad it doesn't have much replayability.
