The developer here - my god, thank you for playing NL!! I've been watching your channel for literally years (while making this thing) and this is pretty surreal - no exaggeration, seeing it appear here has been a personal dream/hope/goal of mine. The impostor syndrome is real haha. By the way, I haven't watched the video fully yet but fun fact: every single character (including the audience) is bald (as am I) so I feel like this was a match made in heaven. I also made a painting in the game loosely inspired by NL (the character art when you get the healing report after a match) Anyway, I've got a patch 1 to make and many many updates after :D Thank you again
I am hijacking this apparently wholesome post because I feel your bald activism is dangerously close to becoming an anti-hair ideology, and I cannot allow that 🧐
Not only was the opponent armed with a mug, NL didn't even kill him, it was his teammate. And the tale was spun into NL being a demigod, half man, half beast. This was so hilarious to me the laughter caused pain.
I love how aside from the entertainment value that NLs video just already have by default, his channel also gives out more game recommendations than my backlog can handle
@@DEMillerEarl If we're being pedantic about word choice, original content was not just fine but arguably more accurate. "Original content" means that it was first released on the platform in question, it's new to the world of media and thus can only be found there so far. "Exclusive content" is a stronger form that means it isn't merely new but will be limited to only appearing on that platform in the future. You could make a strong argument that NL's youtube-specific videos are exclusive to the platform, but in the hypothetical world where youtube disappears tomorrow he'd probably re-upload them on whatever video hosting site steps in to fill that void so it's not like there is a serious policy to restrict the content to this place. It's just not mirrored elsewhere because that would be a lot of time and effort to accomplish very little in a world where youtube is the place everyone goes to for this kind of thing. So in the most technical and pedantic sense calling it "youtube original content" conveys the most accurate information, they are new when they debut here but it's not technically impossible for them to later reappear elsewhere.
I thought there was no way he would take this on. I really want to see this be a series- I need YT content I can get attached to. All the rogue-lite stuff feels like purgatory before too long
Honestly this game looks sick. It looks like my type of game, and it’s very fun to watch as well. I hope to see lots more videos, and hope to see it evolve as it gets more developed!
I saw this video right before I went to work today, this video has been in my mind all day so when I got home I had to buy it. It would be cool if NL could make a short series with this, but that will have to wait for his vacation to finish.
16:35 it's been confirmed now that Yaddle, the female member of the yoda-species, talks normally. Apparently Yoda's speech patterns were influenced by his master but I like to think that it's because he's just a little freak. Also his full name is Minch Yoda.
Flails = ez mode Stamina/movement training = Win Slashing weapons = Win (dismemberment betting) High level enemy spearman = loss without good armour, large shield, or long reach weapon *ACTUAL PRO TIP INCOMING* If you have a shield: prioritize armouring your right side (I will often not have armour on my shield ((depending on size of shield)). If you don’t have a shield: prioritize armouring your left side, because you lead with your left foot, and your left side is the most exposed when raising your weapon. Your weapon will have collision on the right side and have more coverage with blocking.

Omg, he's bald?! Jokes aside, congrats on your game!
@@rhizome550 Listen, I'll always have the excuse that as a solo dev I had to cut corners and hair modelling was one of them. :D
@@LakierosJordy At least your hair is a corner you don't need to cut anymore.
27:13 actually very pegged NL fanart
Take a shot every time NL looks at the imaginary chat to his right
the balkan experience
I can’t do it, it would cause me to blackout.
If it wasn't for the fact that he'd have been running The Casino every match I might've thought this was a mislabeled Twitch VOD.
Not only was the opponent armed with a mug, NL didn't even kill him, it was his teammate.

"Look at all the gold we're getting!"
As he leaves a bunch of gold behind.
15:36 I cant believe he actually finished it that way
I love how aside from the entertainment value that NLs video just already have by default, his channel also gives out more game recommendations than my backlog can handle
9:48 gotta be the best moment lmao
I laughed so loudly. I feel that moment needs more love.
9:48 not gonna lie that is the greatest throw I have seen so far on this game
Now you see my sword, now you don't.
RUclips original content… thank you NL, it’s been 84 years 👵🏻
bro this mans does SAP daily wdym 😭😭

Frankly i prefer stream vods; chat is like a second character
1:53: What? HOW? Did NL just perfectly timed his "swish-sound" with the game?
Yeah wtf I thought it was part of the game's sound at first
Zhuuuup
Wow I completely missed that! I can't believe how perfect that was lined up!
Well, he is a demigod after all... according to AT LEAST 4 people
holy moly for the first time ever Stanz beat northernlion to a new game
Stanz be taking up that market share
"Drop your attack during any weapon to throw"
Ah NL, never change

This game is a rogue-like. You die in this one you lose your character and start over with a new one.
@@cairnserelli72 why did you have to shatter his beautiful illiterate illusion (its in the title)
@@Blaurot "illetare"...
9:50 poor servant boy is gunna have to go find where that landed
poor servant boy isn't gonna have to look very far, it probably landed in his torso lmao
15:30 got me poggin outta my gourd dude
"I gotta find something else besides sap." Well nl I know an easy christmas gift
Oh god (of war)
Some serious pog potential here, really hoping to see more!
Bespoke youtube content? New game? Not sponsored? What a day to be alive.

I would love to see more of this content! Excellent video NL. Also, I love SAP too.
Very entertaining game, I hope it's as fun to play as it is to watch because i'd love more videos of it. :)
Man I had the idea for a game like this about 5 years ago. I'm so glad someone made it!!
I'm glad you didn't beat me making it :D
@@LakierosJordy Hey! Bet he wouldn't have made it with love ;)
Great work, loving the game
@@LakierosJordy Me too! Your game looks much more fleshed out and better than anything I could have done.
that post-credit yoda scene is genius 🙏
f..ff..fresh youtube content ????
"I just won't throw my weapon"
*throws away shield*
a bespoke youtube vid with a new game?! this is a good day.
Honestly this game looks sick. It looks like my type of game, and it’s very fun to watch as well. I hope to see lots more videos, and hope to see it evolve as it gets more developed!
This is the one. Been excited for you to try this one, NL.
Swords & Sandals just got real.
This is like a more chill version of Exanima's arena. I actually like that, no offense to Exanima but MAN that game is hard to get used to.
Hilarious!
"I'd love to decapitate him"
...mere seconds later...
"Oh, no, I cut him in half... ... Im' horrified"
play more than this please NL this looks like it can be a really fun game for us all!
THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES
OMG! so excited to see NL play this. What a pleasant surprise! Hope you are having a great holiday!
I've been dreaming of a gladiator game like this since I was a kid, bought this as soon as I saw gameplay, looks so much fun!
Man this game is kind of crazy, pretty interesting with the directional attacks and whatnot
A mount&blade-combat gladiator roguelike? Neat.
Yoda is the only one that speak that way of his kind
Thank you, oh Lion of the north, for blessing us with this fresh RUclips content!
This is so fucking good keep the series please
This game looks like so much fun, can't wait to see more of it. 😁
ew
I lost it when the guy tried to attack you with a mug.
Him headshotting the guy with the end over end spear turbo sent me.
I need a series of this
Saw this game on splatt's channel. Thanks for the varied content
Promising game! Hope he keeps playing it would love to see more
I saw this video right before I went to work today, this video has been in my mind all day so when I got home I had to buy it. It would be cool if NL could make a short series with this, but that will have to wait for his vacation to finish.
Holy fuck 9:47 is the funniest thing I've seen this week it got a giggle out of me
So glad we're seeing more of this
I want more of this series, keep it up👍🏼👍🏼
This is cool. Please keep making some more
Damn some RUclips only content!? Love it.
I was hoping your play this game. I absolitely love it
You're doing pretty well I'd say. Keep it coming and I may have to purchase this game myself. Stretching this months games budget for sure.
Would watch more of this!!
Literally had the thought last night you should play this, wake up and here it is😊
More We Who Are About to Die please. Poggers.
I’m glad you’re playing this game! I find it enjoyable to watch
That Yoda take is golden +2
I like mugs because they're very comfortable in your hand and they hold hot things that you don't have to touch. So um, you know, coffee, or hot tea.
Nice, was hoping Ryan would play this, it's super fun
this game is gold content, certified yt frog approved
Was just waaaaiting for this one
I really like this content. I'd love to see more.
I'd be interested in seeing more of this.
Would love to see more of this
New fresh youtube content, means new fresh gourd to pog
Omg the commentary is sooo funny. I'm dying here.
Laughed so hard when NL chopped the guy in half
16:35 it's been confirmed now that Yaddle, the female member of the yoda-species, talks normally. Apparently Yoda's speech patterns were influenced by his master but I like to think that it's because he's just a little freak. Also his full name is Minch Yoda.
More from this game please, I am entertained!
NL really doesn’t understand the “keeping your distance is vital if you want to live” comment
There is a normal talking Yoda in Star Wars. Master Vandar from KotOR just talks like a normal dude.
So, so happy to have something not Super Auto Pets.
Really entertaining video, and this game looks fantastic.
Really hope these RUclips one-offs come back! I enjoy his non-Twitch energy.
Pro-tip: Calvus is the latin name for being bald.
Thanks for the company.
He knows how to keep the cursor on 'em, but does he know how to keep on the cursus honorum? Tune in next time for the thrilling conclusion.
This looks fun. Thanks for the vid I think I'll check this out
I'm really hoping this catches on on the channel. I can't watch super Auto pets anymore but I love NL man
This is hilarious I love it
big video for all us KombatHeads out here
This was wildly entertaining to watch! Please play more NL!! Love ya man!
NL is truly in his most funny and self aware era
Glad this game is getting some time in the spotlight, hoping it develops nicely.
Didn't realise how clumsy that saying is in English. "Morituri" turning into 6 words
MOOOOOOOOOOORE EGG THE GLADITOR
Love this game
Yess!! So happy he tried this out

If you have a shield: prioritize armouring your right side (I will often not have armour on my shield ((depending on size of shield)).

Looking forward to more tales of Emperor Eggtavius
It's not a mug ..it's a tea cup. (Riddick)
RUclips content? We salute you 🫡
I escaped the curse of immediately buying whatever rogue-lite NL is playing by buying the game first...
What have I become?!
rip rumbleverse mentioned 🫡
This game looks like it simulates for Mount and Blade players what Mount and Blade controls feel like to the rest of us.
Holy shit this was great. This better be a returning series.
Pleaseeee keep playing this game!! its so good!!!
Decent Don Cherry impression NL!
