    Astrea is a DICE-deck-building roguelike that flips the script on deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and an unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption. Build a dice pool strong enough to purify Astrea's out-of-control corruption and save the Star System.
    The Let's Try series is a way to preview / review games in order to get my first impressions through the first moments of gameplay.

    Thanks so much for playing with Cellarius =D
    Wave build is awesome 😎
    Actually the oracles are widely different from each other hahahaha that is why we made difficulty level separated for each character, cuz the complexity of the characters increase a lot, the two last one are super complex (the last one specially) so we didnt want players first time playing with them on anomaly 5.
    But after hearing the feedbacks from players we decided to make the difficulty levels shared across all characters, but the player need to win at least one run with a character on Anomaly 0 to unlock all the other Anomalies that are shared.
    This way we prevent new players to hating a specific oracle because of the difficulty.
    For speed up the run, you can also disable NPC/Rewards animation, it also decreases the run time length a lot!

    They literally patched the fact that Ascensions are not unlocked seperately anymore today. Might have been because of your "critique" at end. The developers are really trying hard, i hope this game will get the attention it deserves. Thank you for showing it to us!

    Glad you're playing more of this game, would like to see more, already have a dozen hours in it myself!
    8:26 Mild unlock spoilers: There is actually a blessing you can unlock for Cellarius that makes Wave work just like that!
    1:14:40 The difference between an enemy "receiving corruption" and "increasing overcorruption" is that receiving corruption means it will also "heal" them because it hits their "corruption meter" and just also effect the "overcorruption meter" as a result of that, whereas "increasing overcorruption" ONLY affects their "overcorruption meter". Also I'm sure any effects that have to do with an enemy "receiving corruption" would not proc from "increasing overcorruption" effects.
    Also, no need to count the amount of dice you have of a certain type, they are all color coded. You can also tell visually by the corners of a die what type it is. There is also a counter in the dice pool menu that displays a number next to each color.
    For reference:
    Starter = White
    Safe = Blue
    Balanced = Green
    Risky = Red
    Epic = Gold

    • @TheMikester9
      @TheMikester9 10 месяцев назад

      worth noting that giving an enemy light will help prevent them from overcorrupting themselves, but Decay will still tick up ignoring light shield and similar effects (barrier, incorruptible)

    I hope we see you play all the characters, they do have very different play styles and the last one is extremely difficult

    • @ScottLufkin
      @ScottLufkin 9 месяцев назад

      It's a shame that the characters you select to play as is tied to difficulty - it would have been more fun (for me) to pick any character and have a good time, instead of having to manually select a difficulty by picking a later hero. Especially if a playstyle or hero ends up being too difficult to be fun.

    You can speed up animations in settings - that way, runs would be faster.:)

    just went through this, unlocked the characters. It was pretty fun, however some characters are easier to win with than others... that said, I think you did really well with Cellarius. Btw, you can drop a selection die on top of a target to initiate it.

    @Klayht 10 месяцев назад +9

    A few of the Oracles DO feel same-ish, however a few of them do feel different enough to warrant having separate anomaly levels, ESPECIALLY the last Oracle.. Still would have preferred it to be universal, but hey, gives us an excuse to play this game more

    From playing the demo, Cellarius the shark dude was my absolute favorite character!

  • @MaimedFern
    @MaimedFern 10 месяцев назад +2

    Oh and just for the sake of clarity on that final fight, "corruption" heals the enemy AND increases the overcorruption bar, "decay" increases overcorruption without healing the enemy.
    Man this game has too many words in it.
    PS: I personally think that the characters in this game ARE wildly different from each other, moreso than any other strategy roguelike I've ever played! I'm gonna be replaying this one for a while yet for sure

  • @djhuti
    @djhuti 10 месяцев назад +2

    Would definitely enjoy more Astrea - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how different all the subsequent characters play and feel. In answer to your question during the last fight: Receiving corruption both heals the enemy and increases overcorruption. Increasing overcorruption only does the latter.

    Hello, there is a demo on Steam from Super Dungeon Designer, it is a game like Super Dunjon Maker you can create your dungeons and it will also be possible to share them when the game comes out in early access, will be interested to have your opinion on the game.

    Dunno how I am here first, but wanted to say I love the videos. Do you think you'd ever dive into doing a "Top 10 roguelikes video or maybe even a top 10 of a sub-genre of roguelikes like action vs turn based or something like that? You obviously play a lot, so I would love that kind of content too. The only one I know that is up there for sure based on uploads is Brotato haha.

      @Retromation  10 месяцев назад +10

      It is tough, if I did it would not be phrased as a tier list or top 10 list. I find the structure innately reductive and toxic. What I _am_ interested in is a recurring "5 Roguelikes to Check Out" kind of video as it is more malleable, and not something I'd feel like I want to change 1 month after I post it as I would a ranked video.

    • @xhaku
      @xhaku 10 месяцев назад +1

      @@Retromation I get that, but as a consumer of these games you must have some kind of subconscious enjoyment ranking. I would enjoy the games to check out videos, but maybe also you could do a "top 10 games I have spent the most time with". Sort your library by hours played, and see what shows up! Maybe that's a little more objective. The whole point of the list is not to say what is definitively better, it's more so what games you personally have enjoyed and have kept you hooked.

    • @Retromation
      @Retromation  10 месяцев назад +3

      Eh, maybe. Looking at my most played ranking, I don't find it to be a very good one-to-one representation of quality. A lot of the games I like the most aren't at the top.

      @@Retromation Thanks for the reply. I get your not exactly in the game review business, but a lot of what I use your channel for is finding new games and trying to extract your opinion of them from these let's try videos. You really play a ton in the genre so we all very highly respect your opinions on these things.

  • @Ocelot56
    @Ocelot56 9 месяцев назад

    Hey Retro you might've already figured it out, but when wave triggers it also purifies yourself too not just enemies. So on it's own I don't think it's quite as useless as you first realized :) Although if you are only facing one enemy then it's still not super helpful XD Also I would love to see you attempt a full run with every character :D

  • @Jonahv10
    @Jonahv10 10 месяцев назад +2

    the difference between receiving corruption and increasing overcorruption, is that when an enemy receives corruption, they gain overcorruption, and "heal" the same way you do with purify. so if its increasing overcorruption, it doesn't heal them, while receiving corruption does both.

  • @kooskoos1234
    @kooskoos1234 10 месяцев назад

    For the difficulty thing, yeah, i generally agree, artificial difficulty (to me, at least) is just not fun, but also it’s much easier to implement, and generally better for a game to have an unfun, completely optional difficulty system than not having one at all

    most of the shark blows drop you just far enough to use the first virtue which then can heal you to the point where you can shark blow again ect. For the next character you will want to consider overcorruption as a good thing. Take the virtue refresh blessing and laugh all the way to the star bank.

    There is a discussion that might lead to unify anomaly levels throught all characters on discord! So your feedback was valid, many players felt the same.
