Thank you! I try to be as unbiased and fair on my thoughts as I can be, so if something bothers me I feel like I have to bring it up, but will always try to do so without saying something like "that's trash" because there's always something out there for everyone. Thanks for the sub too, I made sure to get you one and I will be following your stuff as well :)

@@Prozeon I 100% agree with what you said! We have our tastes so what we like (or dislike) can be different from others' tastes. Also, unless the game is clearly rushed, I try always to respect the work of developers, especially for small teams or solo projects. You deserve the sub man, absolutely! You're doing a great work 💪

Thank you :)

Thanks. Be sure to check out the other video as well so you can get my 5-1 which is actually correct instead of Dorian's ;). I enjoy Enshrouded a lot because I feel like it fixes some of Valheim's shortcomings but it will always be hard to not want to come back to Valheim

Thank you :) It was fun to partner up on this type of video. Nine Sols was definitely a great game that kind of came out of nowhere. Bo Path of the Teal Lotus has a similar art style, but an interesting aerial style combat that is worth checking out as well.

@Prozeon I have that on my list too! Or at least, I thought I had It 😅 added now!

I know I know. Especially after your BG3 argument I feel bad because it really is such a great game.

I don't think many would want to hear the full 4 hour conversation we had lol. If they do then we go for a podcast and then our own Crypto Coin

@Prozeon rugpulling it is a no no though, just saying!

It was definitely a ton of fun for sure and the tactical button mashing was a nice change of pace

I'll be honest when it was in beta form I wasn't exactly sure how I felt but when the demo came out I was really impressed with how much fun it really was

Haha I knew he had to be waiting for me once I didn't see him on the map pre-battle. He's just so notorious for being the one to avoid for good reason

That is a fair point. I didn't really think about it that much until it was brought up in the comments that if you are a nameless hero why not allow customization to them

The last Dynasty Warriors game to be rated positively on Steam came out 10 years ago. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms games have also been regarded poorly with recent releases. That's not really dramatic, it's just saying that these games that take place in China have not been doing so hot for whatever reason. I openly admitted I hadn't played this series in a while so I can't tell you personally if they were that good or bad, but I am saying that it's nice to see how excited people are for this series after a long drought of getting less than ideal releases.

That would be a killer feature for sure. I think they were mostly focused on not having another Dynasty Warriors 9 situation, but it would still be nice to custom create something, especially if we are already playing a non-named protagonist.

totally fair. I am highly aware that I have no basis on telling people how things are pronounced, so I am 100% okay with being corrected

We are probably both wrong

My first attempt had me at something like 1200 kills, so just a normal day at the office. That didn't really help anything other than my ego given my quick demise in the final battle.

I get that. I fell out of it for a while, but this new fighting style is so much more engaging then the mindless button mashing. Thanks for the compliment :)

Oh trust me I did not pursue. I had no choice and I knew from the moment I saw he wasn't on the tactical map that he would be at the end. The fact that my third run had me running away to get health only to come back to an empty battlefield is just insane lol

That's pretty neat. I don't recall seeing it but there's been so many games made throughout GMTK's history of game jams and it's nice to see some of them become full games.

Haha that's unfortunately part of the issue with just how vulgar it is. Also, I get what you mean by the whole diorama being okay but not letting you play the game. I worked a retail gig where it was real strict on what we could sell and I legit hard to card people over games otherwise I could literally face jailtime. On the other hand, I just learned that the team for this game intends on releasing some sort of toggle that will pull back on a lot of the vulgarity in the game for those who want to stream it, but then it feels like it would lose a lot of its identity.

Crazy how that works isn't it? I mean we know how to find our ways around things. I'm sure it'll be fiiiine.

It has a lot going for it. The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. I'll be talking about it more in an upcoming video for sure.

Unfortunately (not really) my wallet will be feeling the repercussions of this video for sure.

I had not heard of Devil's Dive before. I'll be sure to check it out then

@Prozeon it's very cheap, it's a small and fun roguelike like downwell. I'd recommend it

I always try to stay impartial and just express what I observe. Every game has some value in my eyes and I think this one has a ton of potential to be a really great game if its tone wasn't set to 11/10 all the time.

I actually thought it was funny at first, but I had hoped that other signs said other things to keep the joke going which they did not. I think it just started to wear on me because of just how much relentless the crudeness was and sometimes it really just felt like there was no real reason for it.

@Prozeon Respectfully agree, your VE was interesting enough to get me to play some of the demo myself since commenting, and after interacting with everything in the starting house i was bored of the 'shit's and 'fuck's. Honestly a good video, cant wait to see what you upload next :)

@@ikepcyhscore8532 Yeah it definitely could use without almost every single interaction being one full of profanity. I appreciate the support :) I will have some newer style videos coming up to round off the year, but Demo Diving will always be here because there are so many good games out there that don't get the attention they deserve

It literally hit me what you meant by that comment XD I have fixed the title so there is only one mature

I agree. I genuinely don't mind if games have swearing or adult themes in them, but it gets to a point where it's just trying too hard and you can tell it is just a way to drum up shock factor given how excessive it can be. I think this game could have some really great potential if it managed that sort of dynamic between serious and comedic, but what I played leaned almost entirely into the over the top "comedy" making it just seem childish at times. I hope the dev understands that they don't have to make every character curse on every line in order for them to be a memorable character.

I think that's why the emphasis is supposed to be the *EDGE* of Allegoria.

@@squeegel3904 Haha I thought about making that joke while writing the script for the video

I'm hoping for a hook, but it really depends on if there are some changes to the game that will make traversal more tolerable. The crude humor was hit and miss but I got real tired of the encounters while navigating the dungeons.

I think it just has an issue of trying too much to make you laugh or be surprised. A game shouldn't be at a 10 all the time otherwise it just feels like the same. The meta interaction implied a more real story, but all that was was the woman who used her charm to stay alive and everyone just used her to say crazy things, so it wasn't properly utilized. If there was a more serious tone every once in a while I think it would really help offset the forced humor.

Thanks. I do wish it had some tonal differences here and there to make it so it didn't just shove curse words and vulgarity into your face. I have no real problem with a game having that, but to do it all the time is a little much.

That's totally fair. I think a large screen is also a bit counterintuitive to using graphics from the handheld era.

See I love the aesthetic but can't stand the vulgarity I have enjoyed Isles of Sea and Sky and I get the handheld size and experience back by using the Steam Link app and a Backbone on my phone as a controller. I guess a Steam Deck would work too but I am too broke / stingy to find out quite yet

@@TheThinKing That's a good point. The aesthetic may not be pleasing to some and the vulgarity also may not be appeasing, so by having already knocked your target audience down with the aesthetic that some don't enjoy, the vulgarity dwindles it even further unfortunately. I think that is a better setup you've got than getting a Steam Deck, because I also am too broke to grab one of those lol

It is a cool concept but I do wish that it wasn't so much trial and error in the name of being "challenging"

Yeah, I think the art is great and I do like the concept. I honestly felt like if the game was more like the open area where you explore the village at the beginning then I would love it

I try to be really picky with those 10 ratings but I knew pretty early on that this was going to be one. It really is just a great mix of all components and I will 100% be picking it up when it releases.

I knew a game revolving around family just needed at least one Vin Diesel reference. I'm pretty sure it's a law to include him lol. I will say this game shocked me with how much fun I had and all times I goofed were on me and not really a result of bad dice rolling.

I probably could have spent more time speaking on the actual gameplay, but it was pretty neat. The art really is one of the strongest aspects though.

Oooo I really should replay it that way. I definitely will be making a games of the year list and there's no doubt Indika will be pretty high on the list. I think it really caught me off guard on how deep the exploration of self is on it.

Not that that will keep me from probably picking this up.

@@Kamicollo95 Haha I'll be honest that I goofed a lot playing this game until it just clicked on one of the playthroughs. I'm sure it will get much more difficult and put me in my place when it comes out though

Trying to describe this game to non-gamers, heck even gamers for that fact, is a fun task. I think this idea shouldn't work as well as it does but I'm so happy that the devs are pulling it off because it really is unique.

It honestly reminds me of a kid's tv show that has a similar quirk to it and I love it. I am just stoked to see more from this game.

@@MARStheFORSAKEN there's nothing wrong with having both. Some people weren't thrilled with the Advanced Wars remaster that came out. I'm no expert in the field, but I can also see the potential of people just wanting more after they've played the same game over and over. It's not like Nintendo is in any real rush to make a new Advanced Wars

@@Prozeon thats the problem this is just the same 20 year old game but with less fixings,they didnt even bother to make each factions units different.

@@MARStheFORSAKEN That is something I failed to mention, so I appreciate you bringing that up. Each faction does have a specific unique unit. I could only play as that blue faction, but their faction specific unit was the Rhino. It's the super large vehicle that can push other units around and if they push a vehicle into the water or on a mountain or something it automatically defeats them. They can always add more too. It's totally alright if this isn't for you but maybe someone doesn't care for AW for it's more cartoon-like graphics and wanted something a bit more realistic. That's why I linked the video made by Mangs. That guy lives and breathes these type of games and while I don't 100% agree with everything he has to say, he definitely knows more about this than I do given that I'm still pretty new to this specific subgenre of turn-based games.

@@donaldpetersen2382 haha I mean luckily this is distinct enough to get around the long arm of Nintendo lawsuits. If Wargroove "got away" with two games then this one should be safe because I think it has more in common with Wargroove than AW

Thanks for the compliment! Luckily most of the issues I had are relatively easy fixes so it shouldn't hurt the end product much if it does or doesn't get fixed.

I will say I did have to rethink my decisions after playing one map for 1.5 hours but in the end I realized that the powers that were absent would likely help those situations, so I didn't hold it against them. I definitely get the burnout status because I may have started a ton of these games, but I rarely finish them.

It's looking pretty sweet. I think the devs are keeping close to the communities of Wargroove and AW and have been listening to feedback, so hopefully it turns out well. I also hope they add more, not because there is a lack of content, but because I always want more commanders and factions in these types of games.

Glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to put for the outro but the idea to recreate my summary of the game just made me laugh so I had to go with it.

Sorry. You have a box that acts as your vision and when tiles are within that space your workers are working to produce whatever resource intended by their tile. You can expand the tile up to a 3x3 grid, so you will always have tiles where your workers aren't working.

@@Prozeon No worries. It was just a bit confusing.

I really do hope it becomes more difficult because there was one session of mindsurfing where I just stopped doing the puzzle because I knew I had built up more than enough time

I generally don't care for mystery games since it is mostly play it once and your done, but if they've got a unique pull to them, then it does a lot to make me interested.

Yeah I didn't realize that you have 5 days and the demo did go through one of those days. I ran out of time and they gave me free time because I just didn't do everything I needed to do and the game was trying to be nice. The days should hopefully be a little longer, since you start at night, but I will be interested to see where it goes for sure
