That's a *beautiful* looking game and really awesome to see much effort and attention being put even into retro games, so many years after the platform's heyday.
The platform. Here the Amiga. Becomes like a music instrument! Especially the c64. It is almost organic. Like an organ. You know? The game developers are organists. They love their instruments which they know so well :)
looks beautifull :)
Please convince someone to recreate "into the breach" to amiga :)
This game looks great!!
This is the sequel to the very-capable Rogue64, isn't it?
It's even better than I expected, and looks to be a good game even by modern standards. The pixel art and fluidity is delicious.
And unlike many "pixel barf" modern games, that seek to represent incorrectly the limitations of older systems, this operates on a real 16-bit system from the 80s.
Yes it is. I am impressed that the Badger Punch guys spent so much effort to make it more than an Amiga port
looks awesome. so glad you popped your head out to do the review
Cheers, the game was too good to not to show to a wider audience. I am more likely to do more of these pop in videos to help sustain the channel during quieter c64 activity periods.
This looks quite nice ...always happy to see new stuff released on the amiga. Looking forward to it.
That's so 'friggin beautiful looking!! 👁👁
The graphics/art/music are all PERFECT.
isometric games have always been underrated.
Looking great!
Gorgeous looking game, I think I'll be getting this!
amiga games always look so good...what sorcery is in those machines??
this channel is just stupidly underrated
Indeed. 🙁 Great channel.
You are a champ for saying so. No idea why the algorithm gods have not given any of my content a boost but I am so grateful to have a loyal viewer base. My consistent ratio of viewers vs subs is very high compared to my peers. I am so lucky to have solid base that appreciate the content.
Incredible looking project !
What beautyful artwork. I want it for my nintendo switch or 3ds.
Very pleasant looking graphics on this one. Love the little details, like animated breath cycle which makes the game look alive even when nothing is really happening. Thank you for the review on this one.
Good game and nice simple interface. Well worth the purchase.
Gorgeous art style there.
Looks awesome, but please we need a new Moonstone!!!!
Looks freaking awesome 👍😎
Now think of it - these are OCS graphics!
Love the graphics and the mood is spot on.
On the road to 10k subs....then 100k!
Hey thanks for your support and optimism. Growth for the channel has more or less flatlined and while getting 10k subscribers across 7 years has been a slow effort, I know that based on recurring viewers I have one of the most loyal 10k subscribers - so thank you everyone.
Monocode right now:
nice
Please make a Steam version!
It kind of reminds me of Mystic Towers for DOS. In fact I'd be surprised if it did not take some inspiration from that game with the kill all enemies on map to progress sort of logic.
Heh, I woulda loved this when I had an Amiga 500, more than 30 years ago.
Oh, no I guess I wouldn't have. Only had a 500 with 1MG chip ram... I think it was ECS tho.
אני אוהב את החתול שלי "חמור עכביש כלב".
Did I miss the crafting part?
is the music at the end from the game?
Yes it is. It is from the title screen.
starange no OCS 1mb? :/
Great game. I am also developing a new Amiga game :)
Nice to hear, I am hoping by new you actually mean new game and not a port of something already released. Keep us informed of your progress.
@@RetroGamerNation it's a complete new game for the Amiga 500

GFX are nice... but cannot beat the bitmap brother charme of Cadaver.
Since invention of 45 degrees rotated games 45 degrees rotated games are bad to play!
What's that got to do with this isometric game?
@@Izzanbaad I believe that is exactly what he is referring to. I see his point, but it all comes down to the control scheme. It doesn't matter all that much if you keep strictly to the isometric view, but many games, including this one, do not. You will notice that the minimap is _not_ isometric, meaning that the isometric view of the playing field doesn't line up with the map. As such it means that up-left on the playing field is west (left) on the map, while up-right is north (up).
This is where the control scheme comes in. Some isometric games align the controls with the map, meaning moving left will actually move your character up-left on the playing field, while moving up will move your character up-right. This is quite unintuitive, and can lead to unfortunate situations like walking into an enemy unintentionally.
Other games may align the controls with the playing field (and/or have the map isometric as well), so that you need to move up-left to have your character move up-left. This is much more intuitive, but can get annoying on digital joysticks. If you can only move in the cardinal directions between the tiles of the playing field, this means you have to always move the joystick diagonally, which takes more strength. Basically, the spring holding the stick gets harder to move the further away from center you go, and moving diagonally to activate for instance both the left and top microswitches requires you to move the stick quite a bit further off-center than simply going left. As such, your hand is likely to get tired much more quickly playing such a game.
All that being said, it's not something that bothers me a lot, but I understand that some people might have a problem with it.
Of course there are isometric games where this never comes into play. Populous 1&2 are isometric but they are mouse driven and you don't control any characters directly, so the issue never comes up.
You are 100% correct with your analysis. I had to position my joystick diagonally in order to avoid what you described. This would be the only 'weak' point with the game, otherwise its very well produced
@@RetroGamerNation I take it that the control scheme is aligned with the map then?
Yes, controls are aligned with the map.
Its not enough that every other video game in 2024 is a "ROUGELIKE!!!"(tm). Now it's infecting machines that have been dead for 30 years.
The Amiga isn't dead, over 50 new games for it last year alone
And at least 5% is original IP 🙂
@@merman1974 Well, technically it died back in 1992/3, when the 386 PC was churning out silky smooth 256 colour titles like Alone In The Dark, UFO : Enemy Unknown, Wolfenstein 3D etc.
As a retro machine it's still interesting. I've had WinUAE installed for 20 years now I guess.
