I do need to make special note that the company that handled porting & publishing Halls of Torment on mobile platforms used generative AI for their promotional images without the developers consent, so I would recommend only picking the game up on Steam.
Bruh thats fcked up (the practice of this "Company", i mean)
@CyberGhostArt Yeah, it's the same company that also ported Brotato, Bounty of one and 20 minutes until dawn.
Feelz bad that that is the one company doing all the ports (honestly the ports themselves are kinda bad). The "free" brotato one was so scummy
What’s the issue of using an art?

I'm pretty sure those ice fairies led you to that miniboss who dropped the Hating Heart. The lore book you read a few minutes later states "Only the ghostly lights deep in the frozen hollows may know where the Hating Heart is hidden."
This is correct. It makes the final boss fight easier.
One of the few times he clears a boss so fast that he goes around for 30 minutes trying to find the boss lol. Like sniping an enemy so fast their hp bar doesn't show up and wondering where the boss is lol.
Immediately reminded of the movie Lightning Jack, where he's robbing a bank, knocks out the first person to talk back and says to open the vault
"only person who knows the code is the manager"
Jack "alright, where's the manager?"
_points down_
"This game pushes me into being a glass cannon"
You know you can't use that excuse when you do it every game, right?
Depends on the game. I actually tend to prefer tanky builds for every genre other than roguelikes.
@@wanderbots Seems to be about 50/50 on the vids of yours I have seen. Though tbh, that is more often than other creators vids I have seen, so I will give you that. I have just seen a lot of people do the "No defense, all damage, they can't kill me if they are dead" attitude and then wonder why the game is so hard. (Not saying you are in that group, just the sort of knee jerk reaction that has developed for me when I hear a creator say they are going glass cannon.)
Meanwhile I'm over here getting annoyed whenever Wander takes defensive upgrades in any bullet heavens where it doesn't scale damage. The entire gameplay loop is dependant on getting more kills to get more xp. No matter how alive you are, it won't do you any good if you can't get kills quickly.
@@pm6828 i'm reminded of Rogue Genesia and banishing demascus steel, sure, it is really, really basic, but he hates it so much and it isn't really bad at all lol.
IIRC damascus steel is alright until you get the talents that boost tainted perks- at which point they're just outright better, which is why I banish it.
the mastery items that give you a perk from a different class or even a stronger one of your same class are very impactful
My only issue with this game is it seems difficult to know what things apply to what attacks/stats/skills.. needs to be more obvious at a glance. Like show the stat increase or damage changes on hover or say what skill it applies to
Example below:
I wish they just showed you like yes or no if it applies to anything you actively have (green), anything you or your Character could get in that situation ie area unique or combos you could do (yellow), less likely applicable (orange) like you don't have gear on or skills or wrong area, simply not possible or doesn't matter for that character (red)..
I want to turn my brain off more and go.. not keep opening menus to check details or hope I understood a skill type or whatever
Very new to Halls of Torment but I think a good way to handle it is like in DRG Survivor where upgrades show an icon that says it will buff a weapon or not AND when you pick up a new weapon it shows how « compatible » it’s stats are with your existing weapons. I.e. whether an ability scales off of your main weapon stats or not
Some definite documentation/localization issues. Also not always apparent what stats do for primary attacks, which don't get the same explicit stat description as abilities.
They didn't nerf the non-agony difficulty. You have equipment and meta progression and unlocks that all make it easier. You last played a lot of agony difficulty.
It starts slow at first, but once you get into it, it's extremely satisfying combining bonuses and buffs, some of the "weaker" classes I initially dismissed for being too wierd can turn out to become late game damage machines
oh, and Radiant Aura is, as expected, extremely powerful
On the wiki it says the marching ghosts have 1m hp, so the achievements starting with 1 ghost makes sense
The marching ghosts are also an amazing way to cheese a lot of achievements. The achievements that require applying stacks of statuses are especially good to do on Viaducts because you can repeatedly apply stacks up to the 20 cap on each.
You have to send items up the well to keep them. This isn't Death Must Die.
The books in each level Will guide you towards an item that will make the boss easier; there are multiple potions you can make including one that permanently banishes a trait selection; but you need to find the correct herbs; so keep that necklace on and run around
Whoa, like the old school vibes.
You can activate the Well a second time in Agony by picking up an Extra Bucket item.
Not damaging enemies with abilities for 30 minutes is achieved by never taking abilities, relying on your base weapons instead.
Before goint to Agony mode i would suggest to get all the poitions at first. Those give you the ability to banish thinkgs you don´t want for the run and much more.
Also don´t underestimate Aura. It has an upgrade which can apply burning . I had it when i did the 80 burning stack quest. Give it range,attack speed and potential, dmg is useless when you want stacks.
Great game.
If this gets post-launch updates with added gear and classes, this one is going to get a lot of hours played.
So grindy, though. It needs more of a speed mode, but perhaps their are more artifacts with Agony mode that I have yet to find.
The halls remain tormenting but we stay silly~
Best bullit heaven out there. A must have game.
Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
great video wander, had a ton of fun watching this
Thanks for another awesome vid, Wander!
I picked up this game after watching one of the first videos you did on it and I DO NOT regret it. Here's to hoping that the devs keep up the fantastic job they've done so far 🙂
I sure hope we get mooooore
Some tips!:
-You can now check the variations of the same talent with right click (for example weapon proficiency, dedication, or ability upgrades might have 2-3 different versions per-level and you can only pick ONE). It can be good to see what you wanna pick up, or even if you wanna "forget" an entire branch out of the pool (banish-like potion effect)
-When you get potions, there's one that "locks" skills, this one lets you pick BOTH options of a specific talent on the same tier! For example, you find Weapon proficiency V (whatever) and lock it, keep it locked, when you find Weapon proficiency (something), pick it, THEN pick the "whatever", now you double dipped and got both effects. You can even triple-dip if you use another potion to duplicate the effects of one of them (so you get 2x "something" and also "whatever"), stuff like that... it gets complicated but it's the best you can do to min-max ♥
-Reminder, abilities can get upgrades once you have picked their tier 3 / tier 6 versions, so get those tiers before picking more scrolls if you don't want different skills, and instead wish to fortify the ones you have. Currently the game even shows you with a little chevron (empty if the upgrade is available, filled if you already picked up the upgrade!)
The way this game lets you manage and direct your build is INCREDIBLE, it is very complex but it basically makes good potion managing into getting specifically the upgrades you want an almost guarantee. You just need to learn the way it works... and make no mistakes mid run LOL (which isn't easy either)
-Every level has some "secret" item hidden in the level that helps you defeat the boss much easier. Don't know yet the effect of half of them, but in my experience there's usually some book to give hints near the spawn. On this frozen level you saw the book hinting at "following the wisps", for example.
Can't wait too see more
One of the only "bullet heaven" games i actually enjoy.
There are way WAY too many of them out now that i just dont care anymore.
But i love this game
Block was ridiculously OP when I played it last time.
I could even sit and tank bosses and one of the emblems even scaled damage with block amount.
I just got my first complete run last night, after 10 hours of play lol. Absolutely god tier game.
Really enjoyed my time with this pre 1.0, def worth getting if you enjoy this kind of game but want something a little more objective/goal oriented.
So you can see the alternative choices by right-clicking on skills now!
I heard if you follow the frost fairies for long enough you can capture Mew
I've put 28 hours into this game since it's Early acces days, and I'm telling you it's probably the best Bullet Heaven game out there.
I'd have a hard time choosing between this, Death Must Die, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, and Rogue Genesia since they're all great in their own ways. But yeah it's one of the best for sure.
@@wanderbots Now that I think about it, Death Must Die is also a good one. Fell in love with it, when I saw they put their own versions of Gods and boons in it. Can't wait to see how that game will look like in 1.0. The other two I didn't really played, heard good things about them tho.
My favorite videos are the ones that you seem really excited about.
It does show the alternatives. You just right click
radiant aura can be upgraded to do fire/burning. its a great weapon for the pyro
It's a great weapon full stop, but it applying Fire/Burn isn't relevant for getting the 80 active Burns achievement as it one-shots most lesser mobs and can chunk minibosses in two to four hits.
@@davidchapman6504 if you aren't playing on an agony scaling difficulty you aren't getting the 80 burn period so its a moot point you were making. but more over...
Did I even mention the 80 burning anywhere in my original comment? no.
Why did I mention the fire/burning? Because it relevant to just why its truly great for a fire focused play through aka THE PYRO. So no...not going to say its a great weapon full stop. Most intelligent people (which Wander is very intelligent) like to know "why" something would be great on someone.
Tyftv
I think the lore book was trying to tell you the fairy lights would lead you to the Frost Giant with the Heart, but you stumbled into him pretty early so it seemed like they weren't going anywhere in particular.
If you ran this again, I wouldn't be surprised if they're supposed to give you hints to where he's hidden on the map.
i want to play the game so bad, but even the 3 dollars price tag i can't afford right now, fml ;d
