The game looks pretty great already, I'm excited to see what the finished product will be like! The gameplay loop kind of reminds me of a strategy Roguelike version more fast-paced Risk of Rain (or rather a 2D version of RoR2, if that makes sense), was that an inspiration?
@@florians.1326 Thanks! yeah we had a bunch of inspiration for this, i have played pretty much all the "bigger" roguelikes/rouglites. So we have cherrypicked a bit here and there. "My friend pedro" was a big inspo for the combat, hades has great streamlining that we really liked. Hades, Isaac and risk of rain was a big inspiration for the upgrades but we still tried to add out own touch to it. Slay the spire was our inpiraton for the events and darkest dungeon has been some inspiration in theme even if we're also lovecraft and mike mignola(creator of hellboy) fans. We really focused on making it easy to feel cool while still being in control att all times, and had that as our center pillar throughout development. :)
I didn't expect to be this enthused with seeing just this small gameplay snippet. As a big lovecraftian horror fan I've seen how easy it is to be all "oooooh the monsters are the spookedy scaaaary, be afraid!" That a lot of horror media or games like to do and I'm glad to see that the devs decided to ask the question "what if doomguy fought eldritch horrors instead of demons" in the first unique take on the genre in years.
I remember playing a very early demo for this game like 6 or 8 months ago on G. round and seeing how they moved forward i'd say the developers really learned a lot from that early testing, really happy to see this game going full blast wit the action!
Killing Cthulhu with a flintlock pistol... dude has balls And I'm so sad that the main character isn't a mindflyer dual wielding guns, I thought for a second he was one 😔. Game is sick tho
This game looks incredible! Can’t wait to see more when it’s out. Also glad to hear you’re still enjoying voidigo, I picked it up a couple months ago and now I can’t stop playing it for the life of me. Would be really neat to see some more voidigo content when it comes out of early access too, apparently that’s supposed to happen this year. Also I 100% agree that lately there have just been some truly incredible roguelikes much like this one.
I'm glad I misunderstood, then! Your comment community always seemed overall pretty positive and friendly, so I was shocked to mishear what I thought I heard! Thank you so much for putting out all the entertaining content!
Whooo... I can't get to the first boss but I am NOT good at these games. I'll try the sword. [edit] Actually got further with the sword but I may need to grind the vortex currency for upgrades
this isn't relevant to this video but it's like lowkey baffling how many different kinds of roguelikes exist. every day you throw up a new video with some new spin on the genre i had no idea existed, how do you *find* them all??
Hey man! Thanks a lot ofr playing this, Really happy to hear you're having so much fun! This made our day!

This game animation make me remember some cool shooters on new grounds...and that is a good thing
Familiar with a game name Thing thing arena ?
I mean it's very similar to "my friend pedro"
@@freakbit151 omg thing thing!!! Looking like a mii! doing murders!

Ok so i had to run back the narration because i genuinely thought it was the darkest dungeon guy. But definitely inspired.
Reto really killing it with the Let’s Try vids! So many things recently I’d love to see a series or at least a mini series on.
Hey Retro, Love every single video! Has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like John Mulaney?
Yes all the time lol
You are wrong, its John Mulaney that sounds like Retro !!
This looks absolutely amazing!! I really hope this gets a series when full release is out!
Killing Cthulhu with a flintlock pistol... dude has balls
And I'm so sad that the main character isn't a mindflyer dual wielding guns, I thought for a second he was one 😔. Game is sick tho
This looks amazing. Can't wait for the series that will come from this.
This game reminds me of My Friend Pedro, such an underrated game, much like this :) !

This was fun. Your enjoyment of the game really shined through
Always love your content and commentary
Does anybody ever actually complain when videos run long, if you're obviously having fun? 😆
Peak content!
Oh it wasn't about the video being long, I just literally had to go haha
I'm glad I misunderstood, then!
Your comment community always seemed overall pretty positive and friendly, so I was shocked to mishear what I thought I heard!
Thank you so much for putting out all the entertaining content!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Adobe Flash + MetroidVania + Max Payne = this gem.
How do you find all these good games?
I look really hard, and I look all the time
@@Retromation Noted
I get a Fury Unleashed eats My Friend Pedro and follows it with a Void Bastards smoothie to wash it down. :D
Okay, this game looks amazing! Looking forward to see you play the full version once it's out!
I can't wait to see more!
totally not just a comment for the algorithm.
loved the color pallet in this game. very fun and quirky
So they made "my friend Pedro" into a roguelike.
Wishlited.
It's funny to see all the inspirations on this 😆
my friend Pedro vibes
This is so good!
Definitely need more
This game makes me actually feel worthy to date Ln'eta in the soul sequel, Sucker for Love.
This reminds me of Thing Thing Arena
Lol this should be named , "When Lovecraft meets devil may cry"
i swear there was a flashgame like that on newgrounds or kongregate which played exactly like that except for maybe the roguelite aspects
This looks promising!
For a second I thought this said meat shot and I didn’t know what that meant but I was so excited
the Ori school of starting with double jump wall jump and ending with quintuple jump wall run air glide floor is lava.
This game is cool! BTW, Can Neon Abyss meet Warm Snow?
If this comes to Mobil I will 100% buy it. My friend Pedro and deadcells both translated really well, this looks like it would aswell
So basically My Friend Pedro: Arena as a roguelite
14:57. Insight sounds like bloodborne.
This game reminds me a lot of Alien Hominid for some reason
Feels like a Newgrounds game
Is voice actor Wayne June?
If you like combat in this game, you should try My friend Pedro - slow mov parkour in 2d
Damn this looks slick!
Oh I want the ost so bad
Still watching but I think you skipped first mirror
ok!
oooooo i like it!
Would love a series on this genuinely it looks great
Harrlequin from Warhammer 40K simulator
Immediate darkest dungeon vibes
Oh retro thought so too
Welp.
*Loads shotgun with malicious intent* Time to go kill Cthuhlu
Whooo... I can't get to the first boss but I am NOT good at these games. I'll try the sword. [edit] Actually got further with the sword but I may need to grind the vortex currency for upgrades
Reminds me of my friend pedro.
My interest has been PEAKED
Holly molly but this is litereally my friend pedro transformed into roguelike, anyone else has played my firiend pedro?
this isn't relevant to this video but it's like lowkey baffling how many different kinds of roguelikes exist. every day you throw up a new video with some new spin on the genre i had no idea existed, how do you *find* them all??
it's great, if that wasn't clear, i love all the stuff you introduce to me on this channel
Play IT with Doom music
curse of the dead gods x my friend pedro
Algorithm!
thia is just a reskin of my friend pedro
No
Dude calm down with all the videos
nah
@@Retromation lol
Jokes aside, keep it up!
moar
Finally a roguelike that isn't a damn deckbuilder garbage
this game looks like a ton of fun, def adding it to the wish list
