Honestly. Inscryption, Hotline Miami, Gungeon, Pedro, Carrion, Gris, Fall Guys, Pikuniku, Sludge Life, Downwell, and last but certainly not least, Genital Jousting. Can't think of a Devolver game I didn't like
I think that once you beat the whole game, you can go back using a chapter select. This chapter certainly hits different. It really opens up. I can’t wait to trick out my undead deck.
@@Cashewz698 I think they mean the cabin. I've never played a game where they present such an interesting well fleshed out concept and then suddenly completely change the game. So they probably thought the game would continue in the cabin but with some other twist.
I'm happy the game lets you customize with a hybrid deck. !spoilers! That and a certain card retains its stats from Part 1; I love that, too. !spoilers! (Also, the fact that you and Rhapsody are both voicing PO3 as a whiny nerd is great.)
Slay the spire meets 'there is no game'... Honestly I wanted it to be more of the original game with more progression. All the rest of this was interesting, but not what I wanted from the game. (I bought and beat it already)
@@nathanwilkins6107 Kinda just.... ends, tbh. Just when I thought things were going to kick it up a notch it ends, makes sense, can't keep escalating for the whole game
@@amateurishauthor2202 yeah, I would have liked maybe a weird live action fmv bit where the card game is real life and you have to fight your way through the company hq.
I love Act 2, probably my favorite section of the game. I really wish there was some kind of multiplayer option so two players could use their decks and fight and it out. There is one thing about this Act that maybe isn’t as strong as Act 1 tho: Act 1 is the “rogue-like” part of the game, so the penalty for losing is pretty severe, to enforce a methodical gameplay loop about balancing decisions. In Act 2, the deck builder section, the gameplay loop is about collecting cards to construct an efficient deck over time, and the ability exists for the player to completely alter their deck and core strategy whenever they want. But there’s not really a penalty for losing a fight. Maybe normal grunt battles shouldn’t have a penalty, but the boss battles should. I can think of 2: 1 that’s serious and 1 that’s more of a joke. Option 1: If you lose a Boss fight, you also lose all of your foils. Option 2: If you lose a Boss fight, the Boss gives you a chump card of their type (Grimora, for instance, would give the player a Skeleton every time they lose to her).
I personally liked starting with the beast deck. It synergises with the other decks really well, and since you're already used to it, you are probably gonna be better with it than the rest of the decks. Also, it's a softer introduction to the other decks, as the other mechanics slowly trickle in through packs instead of being your whole world immediately.
@@VovaliumsThings ok, you have a no cost card down on the field to tank a hit on the first turn. The rest of your hand consists of cards that cost 2-5 of any resource, for the next two turns you only draw cards you can't play. You have the cards you need in your deck, but if you could continually draw, you would find all of them at the bottom somehow. And you lost on turn 3.
22:50 it plays exactly like the game. There just a symbol you are not paying attention to :) (edit 23:07 there you go. Talking out the symbols you realised it immediately) This won't be the last of these puzzles. You gotta know the symbols.
I really enjoy Act2! Act1 is by far the best, and I don't care much for Act3, but 2 is honestly a very fun game in its own right. [SPOILERS IN REPLIES]
@@zomburger2573 Yeah the bosses were fun, and I honestly really like the setting as well as P03, but the lack of a real sense of stakes was so lame after the roguelike elements of Act1, and navigating the overworld wasn't fun or engaging. I'll probably like it more on a replay, but after beating act 1 and 2 it just felt lackluster in comparison, and I was quite disappointed that your choice of Scrybe in act 2 didn't matter. I know Daniel Mullins loves his meta shtick but it sometimes feels like it compromises fun to me.
act 3 movement was really clunky compared to first act, and i misunderstood how the cards worked, i thought you had to spam "squirrels" like in the first act. would be fun if there was some sort of endless rougelike mode. i don't think i'd enjoy his older games much, they look so random, though story is a bit interesting, think i prefer a more narrow genre.
@@smievil Pony Island is almost worth it for one very specific moment, but that game is always mindless fun, either side scrolling shoot em up or puzzle solving, his meta angle feels at home in that game. The Hex is a bit of a mess, advertises itself as a mystery but gets lost parodying too many different genres and gaming communities (like modders, competitive scenes, indie devs, etc). You can play act 1 endless if you just never get the film from the clock, every iteration also adds more mechanics so it's quite fun, but definitely lacking in overall content compared to other rogue likes. I would really like a proper endless mode too, hope something like that gets added in the future.
It's easy to change decks. A little harder with tech because you don't have easy sac outlets if you want to dip beast. (you don't get starter resource card like skeles, squirrels or moxes)
tech is actually pretty easy, its a late game deck, once you have few 49ers, l33pbots and automatons, you can hold out till the 6th or 7th round when you can almost instantly win the game with powerful cards. i do admit it is pretty weak at the start because you can get rare tech cards till you beat grimora or leshy, but with how many beast and death cards you cards get from their areas theyre pretty easy to beat.
@@wanderbots oh absolutely, but your not missing anything you wont get from regular packs. From what (little) I've seen, robots seem to be the best base in this section of the game because they don't require existing board presence to play (beasts need sacrifices, undead need bones and mages need mox) but their cards are over all weaker
Im not telling you how to play the game. But i find that the card types from easiest to hardest to manage. Are machine, beast, undead, wizard in that order. But if you don't have a good understanding of them all you don't stand a chance at beating the game
I was hoping you wouldn't put the technology deck because Reto picked that one and I wanted to see a different play style for the 2nd part of the game. This isn't fair.

@@godlyvex5543 Wizards are better than you think they are. Watch Cohh Carnage. He uses the wizard base deck and uses it well. And one if the wholesomeverse, I think Rhapsody? Maybe Wander, made an infinite with the wizard deck. So I'm not sure why you said wizards suck.

Huh...The Stoat turned into the robot, the Stinkbug looked like the necromancer lady...does that mean the Stunted Wolf was the mage?
Yup. Later on you see that the mage only has one eye, just like the wolf.
Also, the names of the animals all start with "ST".
also they have the same moustache
i think it is cuz the mage has 1 eye too
@@TornaitSuperBird like stoat,stinkbug,stunted wolf?
God dayum
Ah yes, "I should have picked Charmander"-syndrome
Except Charamander makes the game way harder because the first two gyms are rock and water.
Yeah, but at least he didn't pick freakin' Magic, that starter deck is just TRASH.
@@lordramdyx6139 It does seem to be mostly low attack minions meant to bounce you between other targets.
@@Spiderwilliam13 that's why you keep grinding the Viridian forest until you collect a Pikachu in the tall grass.
@@louiscypher4186 It is pretty exciting when it happens.
this game is by the maker of Pony Island, and it's starting to show
I'm not one to root for publishers but at this point I could almost blindly get anything from Devolver with zero regrets ngl
Yeah, they are amazing at games
Honestly. Inscryption, Hotline Miami, Gungeon, Pedro, Carrion, Gris, Fall Guys, Pikuniku, Sludge Life, Downwell, and last but certainly not least, Genital Jousting. Can't think of a Devolver game I didn't like
Act2: this just got wierder.
Act3: this just got wierdest
For me it's:
Act 1: This is neat.
Act 2: Oh this is weird.
Act 3: This is amazing, is there variation to this?
Aw man, I miss the card art style of Leshy's, like ink on parchment.
Same
Yeah, the art style on leshy’s is probably my favourite, but the others are still ok.
I was hoping for more of the original game but this is certainly interesting as well.

This... game got really interesting. It's a card battle game, yes, but probably the most interesting in a while. Hurray for not being a clone!
This is so damn amazing who knew there was so much more to this game! i love it!!!
I'm so excited to see your reactions to everything!

Ngl, I was not expecting this game to turn into a mimic of one of my old favorite Game Boy games.
The ad before the video was for Inscription, and it was beautiful.
Watching this in January. Am i the only one that is annoyed that he doesn’t realize how good the ouroboros is
Not sure if due to pre-recording you figured this out already, but the 20 cards it says is the minimum, not the exact requirement.
YAAAAY THE NEXT ONE WHILE I WAS WATCHING THE LAST ONE

I will say the necromancer boss was the hardest of the four for me (I was using the bone deck)
19:28 the RNG needed for the "boss" fights is like bashing your head against a wall, unless you decide to micro manage your deck
If by micro-manage you mean actually thinking for a moment - the maybe. This game is really not difficult, mate
