Honestly I got more of an impression of Mersault by the end of chapter 3 than Yi Sang. Mersault has like five lines, true, but whenever he does say something, I can't help but pay attention to it. Dude literally goes "I'm built different" in Chapter 3. Dude acts surprised when you ask him why he didn't point out one of his colleagues was having a panic attack right in front of him because, hey, nobody asked him to tell you.
Nowadays it's very rare to have a game live up to your expectations. Limbus does have problems but I love the story so much to where the gameplay could've been cookie clicker and I'd still like the game. But I wouldn't be surprised to see my flaws with the game get fixed quickly. But I'm glad we have this game because that means we'll get to see more lore regarding the city.
Imagine thoe, A cookie clicker esque game where you click to kill various entities in the city unlocking lore about them as you kill them. Have it where you can click items other then the enemies to cause effects (dice and coins lmao)
Your thoughts line up with mine exactly, but the game is definitely up there with gachas ive played, and im sure in due time it'll prove itself to the the apex of gachas. Cant wait to see what they cook up in the future for this universe of absolute lunacy.
I agree this game is way more strategy as the turm by turn rolls do feel rng, using defensive actions for more specific targetting in exchange for a skill atk is a intresting tradeoff though
People following PM since LCorp or LoR will know that those games came with many bugs and balancing issues of which some are still not fixed to this day, yet the community can see past that due to the incredible story, amazing characters and unique gameplay it provides. Limbussy is the same and even if it has many issues now, they will get resolved rather sooner than later. Your review are my thoughts exactly, a 9/10 that can and most likely will become a 10/10.
Yep how he described every character is accurate Don is my energy gremlin And charon is my brain in a nutshell And vergilius is motivated to beat the shit out of everyone if they dont have the golden weed
The gacha system for Limbus definately seems like they want you to be able to get speciic things you want eventually. which is nice. wish more games had this route. Also, can't wait for hard mode mirror dungeons
Honestly, my thoughts exactly. Maybe they could add like an “expert mode” option that allows you to choose your attacks manually in generic battles. The only real strategy I have found for generic battles is using defense skills to skip bad rolls. For example, if you have 2 hopeless clash options, you can use a defense skill to skip that attack slot allowing you to choose a more favorable skill. I still think the abno fights are so much better, The Chapter 3 optional boss and the main boss really made me use my brain.
@@matt-iq4vh To get further in the story I’m pretty sure story progress doesn’t have too much rewards Besides a few more gatcha rolls but I still like the hundred percent completion
I do want to point out the surprisingly viable base Sinner they give you. I feel most gatcha you have to get the highest tier characters or they puni- I mean persuade you to get better characters, while here at times the beginning level Sinners are the better pick to their higher counterparts. Shout to base Heathcliff for being damn the best version to use in the final chapter as of now.
Bruh base Outis slaps so fucking hard And I find LCCB ishmael at uptie 3 just so unbelievably powerful, she clapped all of chap. 3 for me, cause she’s blunt, has good rolls, plenty of coins, inflicts tremor, bursts tremor, inflicts rupture and I forget if it she does fragile as well, and on top of that she has insane longevity for being an ammo user due to her attacks using so little of it.
Arknights,and this might be biased as a player with 2 years,the 3* are extremely balance,like hell,that's why the Low-End strategies exists. If it doesn't work with the 3*, you can use 4*. And if you need just a tiny bit of damage,a 6* support but is not an obligation since welp,the game can be completely done with 3* and 4*
Max Uptie R Corp Heathcliff is crazy, I say. Yes, bullet mismanagement might make Heathcliff become a random maniac with a knife, but Quick Suppression is a guaranteed "f*** both humans and Abnos" skill. Potential of 23 Power value, 5 hits and potential of 5 Ruptures on perfect clashes wins. If anything can bulldoze through bosses and Abnormalities, it's R Corp Heathcliff
I love this game. It gave the push to finally play the other PM stuff and I'm having a great time with all of them. So far it really feels little like a gacha and more like just a good rpg that veeeery vaguely incentivizes you to play regularly. Like there's too much to grind for with free ids and egos but at the same time not enough reward for daily play without ways to farm lunacy or some other stuff. Mirror Dungeons get old kinda fast. I'm hyped for more and harder content tho.
You know, Limbus cast seems like not so stupid in chapter 1. But in chapter 2, they have a huge chance to shine they degeneracy, and of course, they stupidest will come ever further beyond. At least they learning from time to time. At least Don is learning from time to time, I hope least she learning.
This game is one of the three gacha games whose story intrigued from the very start. Most of the time i have no interest in the story and just skipped the scenes but read them later on and gets interested in the lore. But this game's story hooked me from the start
1. I agree that giving control to player would be better but I don't really have much problem with current system cause the clash order can be slightly manipulate with defensive action and I kinda like something like Fishmael EGO target the backline first or mersalt(I forgot his actual name) EGO self inflict bind put him in the frontline for taking hit 2. I don't have any problem on mobile (except weekly tab bug that was fixed) and I don't know why. It run fine and have no performance issue so I don't think I can talk about this problem much 3. For mirror dungeon personally I don't mine the long run but I see your point that mirror run get boring fast but keep in mine the current state is that you gain 3 battlepass exp for every full run so just adding a way to finish faster might completely screw the battlepass system so I'm not sure about the solution you suggest. 4.the only time I have problem with small UI on mobile is abno battle maybe because I'm used to small UI 5.yeah we definitely need Lunacy farming other than event
they're adding a way to farm lunacy btw :-) theyre adding a second dungeon for exp tickets+thread i think, and mirror dungeons will give more rewards + lunacy
The people fights are made so that you are forced to take defensive actions on losing clashes so the enemy attack goes to the slowest ally (which is usually your tank). It also allows the 12 action bar per turn instead of the 1 per character in abnormality fights. I actually like the people fights, once you know how to quickly generate ego from the increased action bar and when to take defensive actions, its a lot more fun.
A specific thing about them is that stagered characters get atacked first so sometimes your characters atack the stagered guys and you only have the last characters that are actually allowed to clash the guys on the back but however if you kill the stagered guys you get free hits in the guys in the back so you can strategise staggering them before the clashes even come
@@handyboy4178 for anyone reading this onwards, this has changed due to a balance change where staggered chars can now roll their speed as per usual and as such can now self shield themselves out of harms way essentially since lowest speed chars get attacked first.
I bought 2 of their previous games(and their merch as well) but Limbus is my actual playing of the game The gameplay isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I absolutely love their game universe, character designs, lore and the literature and philosophical motifs. Fun fact: Vergilius' VA is the Korean Johnny Silverhand and Geralt of Rivia
The entirety of Ch3 screams "Project Moon vertical difficulty spike moment" Also i was severely underleveled when i finished that chapter by sheer will. Like, lv 17-20 underleveled
One thing I wished was different was being able to get Abnormality EGOs from the main story dungeons. I know that it's a Gacha game which needs something people want to spend money on (the pulls are basically 'reflections' from alt realities), the Sinners technically already have their personal EGOs/Psychoments, and we do get temporary 'EGO Gifts' from the dungeons. But I think the main story dungeons would be more worthwhile if we can beat the Abnormalities a certain amount of times (Like maxing Observation) to get their respective EGOs, or maybe farm materials to get them in the future. Other then that, I have no issue. The game's great! P.S. You forgot to mention that Dante gets tortured everytime he uses his revival ability, which sucks when the Sinners are either killing each other or getting into fights with nearly everyone else.
I think a good fix for the humanoid battles is some kind of special redirect that any character can do only one time per turn. This could help with the redirect problem and also not allow you to solo a battle with a maxed out character. Mirror dungeons surely are tiring, maybe they could make a sweep function, or make every battle an abnormality minion battle, but I don't know how much that would add to the fun. And yeah, I play on Android right now, and with a device that at least runs Genshin Impact, i get crashes constantly while using EGO. What makes me happy is that none of those are fundamental flaws, they can be changed for the better without much problem, and PJMoon already looks like they are gonna do it. They have been great with gacha and compensations, I think we could receive a bit more lunacy, which is something they already are going to help with in a few updates, and the combat and strategizing is awesome. The community was kinda mad in the begging, because people didn't understand the mechanics and probably didn't play Library of Ruina, but i think people are generally getting it now, so that's cool. Really loving the game, just hope the performance and bug issues are fixed rapidly. I'm very satisfied with the game tho, will surely continue to play it.
I love Lobotomy corp (expect that 49...uh...), I love Librain of ruin, and now Limbus company is another top game, i just cant stop likeing Project moon game and charkter/story writing, music, combat and everythink alse.
I didn't play any gacha games to the day Limbus had released and man, I've got beaten every chapter and I WANT more. I am absolutely interested in this story since it can have it's impact on the City, but only two chapter a year feels more of a punishment for loving this universe. Wish I can beat this game and not throw it up after chapter 5 😭
@@frankaoooooooooooooooooooooooo damn we're already at chapter 6 and it gets even more interesting Didn't think that I will play for this long and I am totally looking forward for new plot twists. Awesome game
I’m definitely in the minority here but I feel like I don’t mind the automatic human fights? I think not having the agency to target who you want adds a twist to the strategy, forcing you to make more compromises and think more about your team composition going in to the battle.
and unlike abno battle, if the initial target dies in people battles, your sinners automatically targets the next slowest target so i don't have to worry about missed turns when i miscalculated my damage.
Don't mind about Gregor committing war crimes If that's bugging then don't worry Most likely everyone in the city has committed war crimes So just think of him as another little roach
I have a very weird relationship with Limbus' people fights. On one hand, from a purely design perspective, I kinda get that they wanted to make them feel different than the Abno fights. Also I do think that it increases my personal immersion in the fight when the characters are being too stupid or too chaotic to be optimal in combat. It does it feel like a street brawl where out of nowhere someone hits you with a bat over your head and then your friend stabs them to death but then a feral man rips your friend's throat with their teeth. It just feels very PM. I guess my ideal way it would play is to give the option to manually target generated skills like EGO and defensive skills while leaving the rest random. Like letting the fantasy of Dante being like "NO DON YOU IDIOT. YOU ARE LOSING THAT FUCKING CLASH. SOMEONE HELP DON NOW" rather than it being LoRs perfect tactical game or the current chaos fest
So far I think W corp Don Quixote has the most fun gameplay, having to build charge to do a devastating attack is a great feeling. It makes even the normal battles feel like you have a lot of choice in what your doing.
Building R corp heathcliff to get 20 charge and using his ego so he has +1 from the charge, + 2 from the speed bonus, and + 2-6 from the ego hit/passive, all on quick suppression which rolls 5 coins that do rupture and fragile? That shit is so fun. Plus he already takes down an inquisitor to 20% hp with only one quick suppression.
"Brainrot Stupid" is my favorite way to refer to any character now, I hope you're happy. And as much as I LOVE Limbus Company, I do wish it let you target in Human battles.
It's a little funny you think Yi Sang is sound like Shakespeare Nonsense.. For me as a Korean, He just has a Joseon-era accent. And yes, all sinners are traumatized psychopaths🤣
Thank you for you video. I struggled while playing, 'cause I could check the stats and skill sets of my sinners only on battlefield. I just didn't understand how to do it and the game, unfortunately, couldn't help too. Thank you for including this little bit of footage into your video it's helped a lot!
Nice review and I agree with points presented! After over 60 hours of playing Limbus I love it. It has issues, but previous titles also had a lot of issues when it first released only to be polished during development. Including removing some features or completely changing them, so same can happen here with human fights.
Honestly i love mirror dungeons, it lets me test out sinner ids ive yet to level and it lets me figure out what weaknesses future enemies ill face have
Spot on review and as for Meursault , i literally forgot he was a character because of how little he talks or interacts with everyone. At one point i though he was a side character like yuri
as a FFXIV and Project Moon brainrot victim hearing In The Balance in a Limbus Company video gave me the weirdest case of mental whiplash but I'm all for it edit: also, top tier review but how dare you disrespect my poor girl Don Quixote shes just trying to help :{
In non abno battles, you can use defensive dices to transfer a clash on your next speed dice. And the ennemies are not smarter, they also just go by speed. PS : Ishmael best girl.
Yeah, you nailed the story part. I love it and because of that I hate it as there's one more thing that is draining my time when I'm looking to cut down on those :'v
you can manipulate the vs humans targeting to some extent. Think of [vs humans] and [vs abnormalities] as different game modes. I understand the frustration with the auto targeting, but I've come to learn how to play with it and it's definitely not made that way to make fights go faster. All that said, I'd also welcome manual targeting for the [vs humans] fights, agreed that it would make combat better.
I'm french and i love meursault. mostly because he's french, but I love him too because he's probably the only character that in chapter 3 say the most useful informations!
I immediately recognized the FFXIV song when it started Good choice of song, either way! Also, as funny as it sounds, you may sometimes have a BETTER experience on phones. Why? Because of 3-22. Without getting into spoilers, a few people and I have been unironically unable to play the dungeon due to a "black screen" that's technically just "your screen is set out of bounds and can't go back". However, if you do get it (it'll always be on the second fight onwards), you can use your phone to actually get through the dungeon (or if you're insane, step on the tile of the fight, then switch back to PC, then repeat for EVERY fight in the longest dungeon in the game.) Helped me mitigate the glitch, hopefully might help a few people too.
I am a fan of the world that Project Moon has made, I had played their previous games, and I was looking forward to Limbus Company. It's one of the best gacha games I've ever played, although I knew it was going to be buggy, PM has a reputation for their games to start with being a very poorly optimized and buggy mess, but they're always on top of feedback of their players to improve. I think the game will be able to keep a niche of people captive, as well as introduce more people to its dark but fantastic world.
The problem with Arknights is that all of the characters take themselves way too seriously (Jesus Christ Amiya, just... Stop. Talking.) But this game not only has fun with its characters and story, but it also knows how to do it in a way that isn't completely jarring. As someone who has sat through waaaaaay too many mediocre-to-actively-bad anime-esque stories, this (so far) is quite a welcome breath of fresh air.
I am very happy with the game so far, I feel like the combat needs a little more polishing tho, the VFX are a Leap in comparison to LOR but there`s something else missing there I am also expecting them to get more bold with identities, an Arbiter Faust or even a Claw Mersault or Gregor would be very much appriciated
7:32 hey, testing i found how 6. Attack skill value works Is clash against enemy defense, for every 4 points AVOBE the defense you Gain +1 power to the Basic attack roll. For example Attack of 18 Against defense of 10 give you a +2 Meaning that for Focus strike the MINIMAL value Roll is 5+2. This attacks level Only goes up Trought Levels, so using ALL YOUR SINNER is recomended so their have High level and more chances to have a extra +1 in clash.
4:05 no it dosent have a blend its sooo fucking depressing then its soo fucking funny, and then its cuts the corner right back around to soo fucking depressing again its great
Another problem/bug that most of the people skipped, is the fact that game may run poorly depending on the region you playing. It's straight up impossible to play it in some of the post-soviet country's. Cutscenes are freezing and dungeons are not working at all. Now my PC recognise me as the citizen of Canada, but i can finally play the Limbussy
this video is hella old but some points still stay true, such as human fights being kinda ass, but i'll list the good things that changed: meursault is cool now, mainly thanks to the side chapters like hell's chicken mirror dungeons are actually reasonable now as in you pretty much don't have to do them, you can just walk in once and that's it special banners have a pseudo-pity system called "Ideality", where if you roll 200 times you can just outright take a boosted 000 ID for free (if the banner runs out and you have some leftover Ideality you still get some thread) boosted thread rates, now you get 40 per stage (and a bonus 40 upon uptying an identity to tier 3)
I beat the whole game with nothing but katana people. Yes Ch.3 slowed me down cause of lack of blunt but I took that as the game telling me I was having a lot more fun per minute.
They plan on adding 250 free lunacy per clear with the new mirror dungeon system. That means weekly 750 lunacy, witch means one guaranteed 10 pull in 2 weeks of playing. Which is amazing. Bless PM Also, they once send 1 lunacy as a way to test the gift system. People jokingly complained about the uneven number of lunacy they now had, just for pm to send another 99 right after. Oh, and some free 200 on top
I thought that the reason the humen fights are uncontrollable is because the sinners have their own thought and stuff And abno fights are more cautious or something,
I love Project Moons writing because they really nail that grim and dark setting that fits how fucked up and corporate the City really is. The type of City where human lives just aren't as valuable as they should be and death is just treated as a small inconvenience for making a deadlines or quota.
the 6 billion people living in a city is pretty possible, depending on how large the city is Ofcourse. The earth is quite huge, but the popular agenda says that the world is overpopulated. It may seem like so, however, as humans live in close proximity to each other, and not as spread out.
the earth isn't overpopulated, it's mismanaged. horrifically so. the City, for all it's faults, must be *very* well managed to have not instantly imploded.

You got me, great video. Honestly since lob corp PM would always deliver. I was losing my mind back in early acess LoR. And there is not a single universe where i would assume PM making a gacha game. So bizzare for me. Turns out it's nothing really different, just a better way for fans to support devs i guess. And i'm a gacha player myself (arknights #1 btw)). I bet, some of PM's staff are gacha enjoyers too. As for combat, it doesn't make any sense how you have ruina style system and can target abnos freely, but not in normal stages. Though, as side effect you can't get away with any team, so you must strategize better (more brain power needed to play the game). Maybe they wanted to make some kind of auto chess, except it's too simple ot their style. Also there is no proper tutorial. Sanity system? Better find that post on reddit that explains how it works. Guess you can find "!" butoon in upper left corner on sinner screen, which will explain combat basics with more details. But i enjoy it anyway. As for characters, boi oh boi. It's like Ocean's Twelve degenerate friends in Sin City, or even better it's Dorohedoro Twelve (as crazy universe as PM's). Sweet sweet chaos. Casino chapter is a trip unlike anything they have done before. Overall so far so good. Heeei Neural Cloud. I enjoy it so much and have no idea why. It also works fast and smooth. While Limbus takes some time to load. Currently hoarding pulls for Puzlle.
With how limbus company's story is going, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire encounter in the prologue chapter was building up to be a dramatic story of grand proportions only to reveal that the entire event was basically as follows: Magic the Gathering fan was tired of getting bullied by furry larper group and was getting ready to use actual magic before getting caught by another Magic the Gathering nerd who was a simp for lion, failing to brush off the thing as a joke, Dante ran to their hiding spot to swap their head with some ancient abomination older than the city itself only to go through the one thing every gamer hates: failing to transfer accounts and getting it stolen.

Arknights,and this might be biased as a player with 2 years,the 3* are extremely balance,like hell,that's why the Low-End strategies exists.
If it doesn't work with the 3*, you can use 4*.
And if you need just a tiny bit of damage,a 6* support but is not an obligation since welp,the game can be completely done with 3* and 4*

@@DawnPetrichor1 nice!
Max Uptie R Corp Heathcliff is crazy, I say.
Yes, bullet mismanagement might make Heathcliff become a random maniac with a knife, but Quick Suppression is a guaranteed "f*** both humans and Abnos" skill. Potential of 23 Power value, 5 hits and potential of 5 Ruptures on perfect clashes wins.
If anything can bulldoze through bosses and Abnormalities, it's R Corp Heathcliff
As soon as he says im gonna call the buss limbussy. he calls it the magic school I BURST OUT LAUGHING LOL
I love this game. It gave the push to finally play the other PM stuff and I'm having a great time with all of them.
So far it really feels little like a gacha and more like just a good rpg that veeeery vaguely incentivizes you to play regularly. Like there's too much to grind for with free ids and egos but at the same time not enough reward for daily play without ways to farm lunacy or some other stuff. Mirror Dungeons get old kinda fast. I'm hyped for more and harder content tho.
2:11 - 3:16 Well that's a pretty accurate way to describe the characters.
You know, Limbus cast seems like not so stupid in chapter 1. But in chapter 2, they have a huge chance to shine they degeneracy, and of course, they stupidest will come ever further beyond. At least they learning from time to time. At least Don is learning from time to time, I hope least she learning.
I mean if learning means that Vergil Devil may cry 2001 videogame won't step on her then she'd better be not be learning
I love don. She either tops the damage chart against ineffective targets or is at 0 against fatal.
But dear god i want to slap her for her actions.
The reason why I love limbus just like lobotomy and ruina is because like how you say my friend group is 50% brain rot 50% psychopaths
if you only waited 3 weeks to do this video, now the Amiya intro is literally canon.
This game is one of the three gacha games whose story intrigued from the very start.
Most of the time i have no interest in the story and just skipped the scenes but read them later on and gets interested in the lore.
But this game's story hooked me from the start
It's even better if you're played the 2 games before it
1. I agree that giving control to player would be better but I don't really have much problem with current system cause the clash order can be slightly manipulate with defensive action and I kinda like something like Fishmael EGO target the backline first or mersalt(I forgot his actual name) EGO self inflict bind put him in the frontline for taking hit
2. I don't have any problem on mobile (except weekly tab bug that was fixed) and I don't know why. It run fine and have no performance issue so I don't think I can talk about this problem much
3. For mirror dungeon personally I don't mine the long run but I see your point that mirror run get boring fast but keep in mine the current state is that you gain 3 battlepass exp for every full run so just adding a way to finish faster might completely screw the battlepass system so I'm not sure about the solution you suggest.
4.the only time I have problem with small UI on mobile is abno battle maybe because I'm used to small UI
5.yeah we definitely need Lunacy farming other than event
3. yea I didn't even think about that. They could make it so the weekly runs are able to go by with sweep but you must manually farm beyond that.
they're adding a way to farm lunacy btw :-) theyre adding a second dungeon for exp tickets+thread i think, and mirror dungeons will give more rewards + lunacy
Goddamit I type "mind" wrong that many time huh
The people fights are made so that you are forced to take defensive actions on losing clashes so the enemy attack goes to the slowest ally (which is usually your tank). It also allows the 12 action bar per turn instead of the 1 per character in abnormality fights. I actually like the people fights, once you know how to quickly generate ego from the increased action bar and when to take defensive actions, its a lot more fun.
Imma try this then. I do use defensive actions but most of the times they had no effect almost.
A specific thing about them is that stagered characters get atacked first so sometimes your characters atack the stagered guys and you only have the last characters that are actually allowed to clash the guys on the back but however if you kill the stagered guys you get free hits in the guys in the back so you can strategise staggering them before the clashes even come
@@handyboy4178 for anyone reading this onwards, this has changed due to a balance change where staggered chars can now roll their speed as per usual and as such can now self shield themselves out of harms way essentially since lowest speed chars get attacked first.
The Limbus Twab joke went hard 💀
Your OST background choice has me SHOOK. Are you literally me?
Ständchen…
Meursault speaking up thrice in entire game is a very Meursault thing
I bought 2 of their previous games(and their merch as well) but Limbus is my actual playing of the game
The gameplay isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I absolutely love their game universe, character designs, lore and the literature and philosophical motifs.
Fun fact: Vergilius' VA is the Korean Johnny Silverhand and Geralt of Rivia
I understand the gripes with human fights. Guido's final fight really hit that project moon "the difficulty spike is directly vertical" feel.
The entirety of Ch3 screams "Project Moon vertical difficulty spike moment"
Also i was severely underleveled when i finished that chapter by sheer will. Like, lv 17-20 underleveled
One thing I wished was different was being able to get Abnormality EGOs from the main story dungeons. I know that it's a Gacha game which needs something people want to spend money on (the pulls are basically 'reflections' from alt realities), the Sinners technically already have their personal EGOs/Psychoments, and we do get temporary 'EGO Gifts' from the dungeons.
But I think the main story dungeons would be more worthwhile if we can beat the Abnormalities a certain amount of times (Like maxing Observation) to get their respective EGOs, or maybe farm materials to get them in the future.
Other then that, I have no issue. The game's great!
P.S. You forgot to mention that Dante gets tortured everytime he uses his revival ability, which sucks when the Sinners are either killing each other or getting into fights with nearly everyone else.
Free battle pass rewards actually include main story EGOs for Gregor and Rodion as well as some other EGOs
2:59 everyone loves greg, in gregor we trust
I'm just waiting for the mobile version to have less bugs and smoother gameplay. Once that's fixed, I can happily dive into the game.
bro i just cant believe you have tingtang hong lu dood,im so freaking jealous
I think a good fix for the humanoid battles is some kind of special redirect that any character can do only one time per turn. This could help with the redirect problem and also not allow you to solo a battle with a maxed out character. Mirror dungeons surely are tiring, maybe they could make a sweep function, or make every battle an abnormality minion battle, but I don't know how much that would add to the fun. And yeah, I play on Android right now, and with a device that at least runs Genshin Impact, i get crashes constantly while using EGO.
What makes me happy is that none of those are fundamental flaws, they can be changed for the better without much problem, and PJMoon already looks like they are gonna do it. They have been great with gacha and compensations, I think we could receive a bit more lunacy, which is something they already are going to help with in a few updates, and the combat and strategizing is awesome. The community was kinda mad in the begging, because people didn't understand the mechanics and probably didn't play Library of Ruina, but i think people are generally getting it now, so that's cool.
Really loving the game, just hope the performance and bug issues are fixed rapidly. I'm very satisfied with the game tho, will surely continue to play it.
I love Lobotomy corp (expect that 49...uh...), I love Librain of ruin, and now Limbus company is another top game, i just cant stop likeing Project moon game and charkter/story writing, music, combat and everythink alse.
My game crashed and I missed most of the prologue and entire tutorial without even realizing it. Thanks for making this video.
i don't simp for Ryosho because she's a sadistic. i just like her abbreviations and that one pun she made.
I don’t know how we got a konosuba reference in a limbus company video but I loved it!!
I didn't play any gacha games to the day Limbus had released and man, I've got beaten every chapter and I WANT more. I am absolutely interested in this story since it can have it's impact on the City, but only two chapter a year feels more of a punishment for loving this universe. Wish I can beat this game and not throw it up after chapter 5 😭
hows your progress doing
@@frankaoooooooooooooooooooooooo damn we're already at chapter 6 and it gets even more interesting
Didn't think that I will play for this long and I am totally looking forward for new plot twists. Awesome game
"... while also being one of the funniest games I played"
Ffw to clearing all ████ while crying for 3 consecutive hours
I’m definitely in the minority here but I feel like I don’t mind the automatic human fights? I think not having the agency to target who you want adds a twist to the strategy, forcing you to make more compromises and think more about your team composition going in to the battle.
and unlike abno battle, if the initial target dies in people battles, your sinners automatically targets the next slowest target so i don't have to worry about missed turns when i miscalculated my damage.
Don't mind about Gregor committing war crimes
If that's bugging then don't worry
Most likely everyone in the city has committed war crimes
So just think of him as another little roach
"Faust talks like an ai made to make you feel stupid" hmmmmm this reminds me of someone who also has that same white hair
I have a very weird relationship with Limbus' people fights. On one hand, from a purely design perspective, I kinda get that they wanted to make them feel different than the Abno fights.
Also I do think that it increases my personal immersion in the fight when the characters are being too stupid or too chaotic to be optimal in combat. It does it feel like a street brawl where out of nowhere someone hits you with a bat over your head and then your friend stabs them to death but then a feral man rips your friend's throat with their teeth. It just feels very PM.
I guess my ideal way it would play is to give the option to manually target generated skills like EGO and defensive skills while leaving the rest random. Like letting the fantasy of Dante being like "NO DON YOU IDIOT. YOU ARE LOSING THAT FUCKING CLASH. SOMEONE HELP DON NOW" rather than it being LoRs perfect tactical game or the current chaos fest
Game when i start scene : crashes
Game when I use 5 EGO in one scene : perfectly fine
So far I think W corp Don Quixote has the most fun gameplay, having to build charge to do a devastating attack is a great feeling. It makes even the normal battles feel like you have a lot of choice in what your doing.
Okay, I understand you view point, but consider this:
Kurokumo Wakashi Hong Lu and G Corp Gregor
@@SunshowerWonderlab Also take note of:
Kurokumo Rodion
Her passive is *really* wacky
Building R corp heathcliff to get 20 charge and using his ego so he has +1 from the charge, + 2 from the speed bonus, and + 2-6 from the ego hit/passive, all on quick suppression which rolls 5 coins that do rupture and fragile? That shit is so fun. Plus he already takes down an inquisitor to 20% hp with only one quick suppression.
@@somedouchemcbag987 oh hey I have her too
And Kurokumo Ryoshu. I still can't believe Vernacular Swirl just gives +4 Bleed count basically for free
"Brainrot Stupid" is my favorite way to refer to any character now, I hope you're happy.
And as much as I LOVE Limbus Company, I do wish it let you target in Human battles.
Him saying Some ID are garbage. Also him using one of the two SS tier 000 ID which is TingTang Honglu. Also 00 hong lu is also broken.
Gotta say this is an interesting way to go with a Divine Comedy inspired story. Makes me wonder if we will get to see purgatory and paradise.
It's a little funny you think Yi Sang is sound like Shakespeare Nonsense.. For me as a Korean, He just has a Joseon-era accent.
And yes, all sinners are traumatized psychopaths🤣
2:19, now where we have seen that trait in PM before... a certain robot companion...

Thank you for you video. I struggled while playing, 'cause I could check the stats and skill sets of my sinners only on battlefield. I just didn't understand how to do it and the game, unfortunately, couldn't help too. Thank you for including this little bit of footage into your video it's helped a lot!
Nice review and I agree with points presented! After over 60 hours of playing Limbus I love it. It has issues, but previous titles also had a lot of issues when it first released only to be polished during development. Including removing some features or completely changing them, so same can happen here with human fights.
I think the way the clashing works is to incentivise the use of blocks, evades and counter-attack.
Honestly i love mirror dungeons, it lets me test out sinner ids ive yet to level and it lets me figure out what weaknesses future enemies ill face have
Spot on review and as for Meursault , i literally forgot he was a character because of how little he talks or interacts with everyone. At one point i though he was a side character like yuri
For me personally, Mirror dungeons are what I play the most because I enjoy them, but having a sweep function would be optimal indeed
Me, trying to listen to what you’re saying then immediately loses it and sings along with Scaramouche boss fight ost-
ahem *returns to watch*
as a FFXIV and Project Moon brainrot victim hearing In The Balance in a Limbus Company video gave me the weirdest case of mental whiplash but I'm all for it
edit: also, top tier review but how dare you disrespect my poor girl Don Quixote shes just trying to help :{
In non abno battles, you can use defensive dices to transfer a clash on your next speed dice. And the ennemies are not smarter, they also just go by speed.
PS : Ishmael best girl.
Yeah, you nailed the story part. I love it and because of that I hate it as there's one more thing that is draining my time when I'm looking to cut down on those :'v
Loved your character descriptions.
Laughed out loud through the entire video! Hope to see more playthrough videos soon!
The crashing when using ego made me lose 3-18 when i was about to win. I'm just glad i beat it after that without much trouble
you can manipulate the vs humans targeting to some extent. Think of [vs humans] and [vs abnormalities] as different game modes. I understand the frustration with the auto targeting, but I've come to learn how to play with it and it's definitely not made that way to make fights go faster. All that said, I'd also welcome manual targeting for the [vs humans] fights, agreed that it would make combat better.
I'm french and i love meursault. mostly because he's french, but I love him too because he's probably the only character that in chapter 3 say the most useful informations!
I immediately recognized the FFXIV song when it started
Good choice of song, either way!
Also, as funny as it sounds, you may sometimes have a BETTER experience on phones. Why? Because of 3-22. Without getting into spoilers, a few people and I have been unironically unable to play the dungeon due to a "black screen" that's technically just "your screen is set out of bounds and can't go back". However, if you do get it (it'll always be on the second fight onwards), you can use your phone to actually get through the dungeon (or if you're insane, step on the tile of the fight, then switch back to PC, then repeat for EVERY fight in the longest dungeon in the game.)
Helped me mitigate the glitch, hopefully might help a few people too.
I cant wait till we get the equivalent of day 49 or binah realization for this game
I am a fan of the world that Project Moon has made, I had played their previous games, and I was looking forward to Limbus Company. It's one of the best gacha games I've ever played, although I knew it was going to be buggy, PM has a reputation for their games to start with being a very poorly optimized and buggy mess, but they're always on top of feedback of their players to improve. I think the game will be able to keep a niche of people captive, as well as introduce more people to its dark but fantastic world.
The problem with Arknights is that all of the characters take themselves way too seriously (Jesus Christ Amiya, just... Stop. Talking.)
But this game not only has fun with its characters and story, but it also knows how to do it in a way that isn't completely jarring. As someone who has sat through waaaaaay too many mediocre-to-actively-bad anime-esque stories, this (so far) is quite a welcome breath of fresh air.
I appreciate the Immutable as the background music
I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls it Limbus-sy.,
I am very happy with the game so far, I feel like the combat needs a little more polishing tho, the VFX are a Leap in comparison to LOR but there`s something else missing there
I am also expecting them to get more bold with identities, an Arbiter Faust or even a Claw Mersault or Gregor would be very much appriciated
Damnnnn, now I'm really interested!
7:32 hey, testing i found how 6. Attack skill value works
Is clash against enemy defense, for every 4 points AVOBE the defense you Gain +1 power to the Basic attack roll.
For example Attack of 18 Against defense of 10 give you a +2
Meaning that for Focus strike the MINIMAL value Roll is 5+2.
This attacks level Only goes up Trought Levels, so using ALL YOUR SINNER is recomended so their have High level and more chances to have a extra +1 in clash.
The lakshmi music fit pretty well into this vid o.O
4:05 no it dosent have a blend its sooo fucking depressing then its soo fucking funny, and then its cuts the corner right back around to soo fucking depressing again its great
Another problem/bug that most of the people skipped, is the fact that game may run poorly depending on the region you playing. It's straight up impossible to play it in some of the post-soviet country's. Cutscenes are freezing and dungeons are not working at all.
Now my PC recognise me as the citizen of Canada, but i can finally play the Limbussy
I cant progress the game because queen of ebony WONT LET ME INNNNNN
@@Residentdummy Change your system location in computer to other country like US, there should be guide to it.
this is a nice vid for someone whos unfamiliar with project moon and is looking to play limbus, very funny too
I heard limbussy being said, there's no more need for me to watch further, great video
this video is hella old but some points still stay true, such as human fights being kinda ass, but i'll list the good things that changed:
meursault is cool now, mainly thanks to the side chapters like hell's chicken
mirror dungeons are actually reasonable now as in you pretty much don't have to do them, you can just walk in once and that's it
special banners have a pseudo-pity system called "Ideality", where if you roll 200 times you can just outright take a boosted 000 ID for free (if the banner runs out and you have some leftover Ideality you still get some thread)
boosted thread rates, now you get 40 per stage (and a bonus 40 upon uptying an identity to tier 3)
4:07 i love rodion and sinclair’s relationship rodion big sis vibes fr
I want heathcliff bun boy so bad but im not having luck
One minor qualm I have personally is defense abilities requiring a target when their application completely disregards who was targeted.
that changed in the recent patch. They reworked a lot of things in the game alr.
3:26 i hear undernight bgm i become happy
Don't worry about mersault, he'll have his time to shine
more lunacy and customization to identities would be nice, but for now ill adapt to the combat ad much as i can
I beat the whole game with nothing but katana people.
Yes Ch.3 slowed me down cause of lack of blunt but I took that as the game telling me I was having a lot more fun per minute.
xrd songs in my limbus video? based
the whole story is basically divine comedy
"That time i got reincarnated in turbo hell as a clock" the game
Ahh limbus company... Where the red flag IS the red flag for almost all non playable char that we met in the voyage lol
They plan on adding 250 free lunacy per clear with the new mirror dungeon system. That means weekly 750 lunacy, witch means one guaranteed 10 pull in 2 weeks of playing. Which is amazing. Bless PM
Also, they once send 1 lunacy as a way to test the gift system. People jokingly complained about the uneven number of lunacy they now had, just for pm to send another 99 right after. Oh, and some free 200 on top
I thought that the reason the humen fights are uncontrollable is because the sinners have their own thought and stuff
And abno fights are more cautious or something,
I love Project Moons writing because they really nail that grim and dark setting that fits how fucked up and corporate the City really is. The type of City where human lives just aren't as valuable as they should be and death is just treated as a small inconvenience for making a deadlines or quota.
The worst part about the game is that I can’t undress gregor
the 6 billion people living in a city is pretty possible, depending on how large the city is Ofcourse. The earth is quite huge, but the popular agenda says that the world is overpopulated. It may seem like so, however, as humans live in close proximity to each other, and not as spread out.
the earth isn't overpopulated, it's mismanaged. horrifically so. the City, for all it's faults, must be *very* well managed to have not instantly imploded.

You got me, great video. Honestly since lob corp PM would always deliver. I was losing my mind back in early acess LoR. And there is not a single universe where i would assume PM making a gacha game. So bizzare for me. Turns out it's nothing really different, just a better way for fans to support devs i guess. And i'm a gacha player myself (arknights #1 btw)). I bet, some of PM's staff are gacha enjoyers too.
As for combat, it doesn't make any sense how you have ruina style system and can target abnos freely, but not in normal stages. Though, as side effect you can't get away with any team, so you must strategize better (more brain power needed to play the game). Maybe they wanted to make some kind of auto chess, except it's too simple
ot their style. Also there is no proper tutorial. Sanity system? Better find that post on reddit that explains how it works. Guess you can find "!" butoon in upper left corner on sinner screen, which will explain combat basics with more details. But i enjoy it anyway.
As for characters, boi oh boi. It's like Ocean's Twelve degenerate friends in Sin City, or even better it's Dorohedoro Twelve (as crazy universe as PM's). Sweet sweet chaos. Casino chapter is a trip unlike anything they have done before. Overall so far so good.
Heeei Neural Cloud. I enjoy it so much and have no idea why. It also works fast and smooth. While Limbus takes some time to load. Currently hoarding pulls for Puzlle.
So ye, I come for sadistic, gambling and vroom vroom addiction, thank you project moon
With how limbus company's story is going, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire encounter in the prologue chapter was building up to be a dramatic story of grand proportions only to reveal that the entire event was basically as follows: Magic the Gathering fan was tired of getting bullied by furry larper group and was getting ready to use actual magic before getting caught by another Magic the Gathering nerd who was a simp for lion, failing to brush off the thing as a joke, Dante ran to their hiding spot to swap their head with some ancient abomination older than the city itself only to go through the one thing every gamer hates: failing to transfer accounts and getting it stolen.
