    As an aspiring game developer, i love how not only entertaning but also informative and constructive with your suggestions you are! My fave channel to discover new indie gems no doubt, keep the nice work splat!
    Edit: Some folks though i was talking about being part of this particular project, but im just a student! Sorry about the confusion, english is not my first language!

      I just played the early access of this and one of the cardinal sins in my eyes was that it is super fun to play for about 10-30 mins then it got super repetitive and even with new types of heroes popping up, nothing kept me playing... I think this could have had more hooks to get it going rather than buy heroes, click play, fight random pointless fight, repeat.

    Hey @SplatterCatGaming i'd just like to say i think the dedicated work on reviewing and curating such a vast collection of indie games is quite a noble task. it helps both consumers find alternate and creative content and creators get a fair platform to showcase their product. keep up the awesome work.

    hey, i do not often write comments, unless i feel i have to. And i must say. im watching your videos for quite some time, and picked up several games because of your reviews. I LOVE your positive attitude towards new indie games, even if they are flawed. And your constructive critics. Game devs SHOULD watch your game reviews, because the ideas you give are not only creative but certainly helpfull, and i agree with most of them. The Game would indeed get better and gain more depth if they'd follow your advice here. very promising game. another one on my wishlist.
    Keep up the good work, and the videos coming.

    I hope there'll eventually be a full range of diverse classes. I imagine the mages do the AoE attacks, but I'm hoping for a druid that buffs your animals or summons new ones; a necromancer that summons undead and leeches life; a bard that buffs the party, and debuffs (maybe confuses) the enemy, but is otherwise useless; and similar stuff.

    You showcase tonnes of good and interesting games - but too often they can be a bit samey. I've always like the idea of a medieval sports/management game and between showing this and domina I'm quite excited someone may make the game I want. When Pyre came out that was prob one of the closest things i'd envisioned and with an awesome story to boot, but would love that crossed with football manager :D aha. Blood bowl should have been close to what I wanted but always felt too limited by just being American Football tactics.

    Gladiator _guild_ ? That's kind of like an oxymoron isn't it. Like... slave union. A good gladiator management game has been near the top of my wish list for decades. Ever since I played the PbM game "Duelmasters". The setting/concept is so chock full of potential I can't even begin to approach it without writing an essay, and I'm amazed that no one has filled the void.
    This is not exactly what I had in mind to put it mildly. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game though.

    • @Umranvuire
      @Umranvuire 3 года назад +2

      Quite not, actually. Some gladiator in the Roman era were free men while the slaves who performed in the arena were considered extremely precious (well fed and healed, some of them being giving slaves or set free). They actually were gladiator schools, so, in that aspect calling it a 'guild' for the kind-off-med-fan-kinda vibe makes some sense. It is peplums and modern litterature that taught as gladiator was a rough, cruel business of blood and guts, while it actually was all about the show. A show of death, sure...

    • @QualeQualeson
      @QualeQualeson 3 года назад

      @@Umranvuire It doesn't make sense at all and the comparison is ridiculous. I think you should read up on a couple things before you start lecturing anyone on either; what guild means and what gladiator life meant. Yes, modern entertainment industry obviously haven't bothered much with the pragmatic details of actually making that particular business work in praxis, but let's not get too excited shall we? To imply some sort of leisurely, free life is absurd and an even greater falsification than the one you're referring to.

    • @Umranvuire
      @Umranvuire 3 года назад

      @@QualeQualeson Well, aren't we easily offended? I saw no reason to raise the tone, but have it your way, I guess. And I'd love to see where is it you thought I spoke about a 'leisurely life'.
      Because I said free men practiced it (which is a historcial fact)? I said 'free', simple description of their status, I haven't said citizens, nor wealthy, or adventurous. Simply people in enough of dire straits to gamble their lives over a pay. Which... well, is still true: just count the number of jobs that could kill you and still gets done. The fact that not every gladiator was a slave is the important part, no matter how few they were, as it means that, now matter how seemingly harsh the arena was, those slaves were treated well enough to tempt you daily low-life. If you can't agree it draws a line between the gladiator and your common salt-pit slave... well... good on you. I guess?
      Was it because of my tolerance towards the word 'guild'? Well, fun fact, words do live their lives, evolve and, sometimes, degenerate into a half-baked meanings. Like (you guessed it) the word 'guild'... Used only today by handfuls of economics books or history nerds... and tens of thousand of video games. In a very 'modern', 'new', 'a-historical' sense, that is true. But you'd entitle yourself to some good piece of an opinion if you simply erased this precise revisited meaning of the word that was explicitely refering to.
      Was it because I called it a showbusiness? Come on, don't be candide... Modern showbusiness only removed the blood and guts on the sand. It is still as eager to throw someone into the pit.
      Anyhow... Go ahead, twist my word again. Or call it paraphrazing as much as you: I'm here all night...
      Much love!

      Your really limiting yourself by not playing them. The devs do that so that you can give them feed back and help make the game something everyone enjoys. Plus some of the most fun games i own are in early access. Js your missing out

      @@anubisfox5765 I can try but I don't play games long term, I just play them and finish them, I don't replay them often and I'm probably going to beat the early access in less than a week and then wait months for new content lol :/. But yeah I don't want to miss out

      @@ajxx9987 im the same way except with multiplayer pvp stuff so i completely feel that. I can say tho once youve gotten into an early access game you really like it becomes kind of a pattern, rather than beating it and putting it up i just come back and play a little every update. By the time the finished product hits its like playing a game youve had the demo for and had a lot of time to get excited about. That being said there are some games that take too long and lose that novelty but its rare. Project zomboid is a good example as well of a game that has infinite longevity because of its replayability

    I definitely do not want to play building tetris, i think that's a bad suggestion that would distract the game from its core loop

    I love your content, but I hate you too... because I want to play almost every game you do a video on! There's no way I have the time to play them all.
