Hey Iron Pineapple :) Feels good to see a youtuber I've watched before playing my juice game. Glad you seemed to like it! Thanks for playing.
yoooooooooooooooooo
That juice game was the most interesting, love the work on the dub
@@IronPineapple ayeeeeeeeeeeeee
Is it true that there is a secret menu option for being able to dab?
I have no idea what the hell your game is, but I was shocked by it's creativity. Keep it up man
"How do you win Juice World?"
You don't.
You _feel_ Juice World.
You *live* in Juice World.
You *_become_* Juice World.

Unworthy looks dope as hell. Bums me out that it hasn't found a good-sized player base. Thanks for bringing our attention to it!!
He said the art style was a turn off for him, but to me it's probably the biggest pull. Made me legitimately interested in playing.
You should also try out Dark Devotion if Unworthy interest you, they're quite similiar.
Looks like a stripped down blasphemous, might give it a shot while I wait for the dlc
My first time in this series that I couls say I played a game before he showed it
I love Unworthy. A souls fan should play it in my opinion
@@Mr.Donkeypoo The thing is that Unworthy came out earlier than Blasphemous. Can't say it's something incredible, but it's solid average metroidvania.
"This game is technically a platformer the way that burgerking is technically food." You killed that man. He's dead!
I find it hilarious that Ravensword, released in 2013, looks eerily similar to Morrowind from more than ten years before it.
It's a mobile game dude it was pretty decent in 2013 for mobile
@@HenriqueRJchiki yeah it was pretty good
More Oblivion than Morrowind...a janky Oblivion but all the same have you looked at Morrowind recently because it doesn't look that good. And for a 2013 mobile game? Shits a goddamn miracle.
I'd prefer Morrowind over Ravenswood, regardless if one of them looks better.
Morrowind has so much more to offer me and yes this includes nostalgic feelings. Another reason might be the Soundtrack. Another one the sheer complex design of the game itself where Ravenswood looks like it has only the combat part of Morrowind, which is "click left button / mouse button to attack; Hold left button for stronger power attack", so yes this is definately not Morrowind's strength.
Well it was a mobile game from 2013 so it wasn't able to look very realistic with what it ran on

Lmao
Dude, the way you described that Neopets game it sounded like Death Stranding
Your pfp is how I reacted to this comment lmfao
At least Death Stranding has pretty scenery, and becomes hiking simulator on higher difficulties
So Death Stranding *isn't* the world's first-ever Strand-like game?
@bokudensuduharagmail But Naughty Dog made a Metal Gear Rising sequel so the world is cool again
I mean, at least Death Stranding was fun and weird for me. I can see what Kojima was going for but I don't think its truly a new brand of game, its a walking simulator with social elements.
Then again I also like animal crossing. So maybe nothing I do matters
Unworthy is such a great game. I would highly recommend playing it without a guide because it would spoil an epic ending. Also I had countless moments where I would literally say “wait that worked?” during boss fights and just random moments throughout the game. That’s one of the things I love about it, the surprising amount of creativity And options you
have for dealing with “impossible” situations. If I encountered a tough enemy combination or boss I would simply just switch up my tactics and weapons to deal with the situation. Speaking of bosses the boss fights are fun like very fun, every boss is unique and memorable so if you play through the game again you instantly remember what that boss coming up will be and how to dodge all it’s attacks allowing you to easily melt it since you
beaten it before. I would highly recommend Unworthy it’s a very fun game and you will have a great experience like I did.
I'm not gonna read this whole ass post. That's why he makes a vido for us dum dums.
TL:DR, unworthy is good
@@DragonBreathjrMC ..It's shorter then the video. This is barely a long text, and i have adhd. You just have shit attention span.
Unworthy dev is making another game with a whole team this time, he’s still taking souls like inspiration but it looks to be a lot more minimal
@@DragonBreathjrMC Bro this comment is shorter than the part where iron pineapple looks at unworthy💀
Knowing the Neopets lore... A Neopets Souls-Like with anthropomorphic animals makes a lot of sense really.
Father Gascoigne getting stuck in the boss room? Wow, that first game really is accurate to Bloodborne!
Was about to comment the same thing
That's what I'm saying!
There's a trend with the Chinese souls-likes: High budget, good animations and art, solid combat, something missing that would make it more than a tech demo. (Also usually either unfinished, abandoned, or both.)
Edit: That last one kinda violates the High-budget, and solid combat requirements, but the rest still applies.
What they lack is, usually, more content. Looking no further than Bright Memory it's an awesome game but literally has only 1 level. The developers are working on a remake, but still, I hold my point
I thought it was just 1 dude making the game?
The Chineses are great at pushing out gilded turds. "Good" surface level visuals (until you realize they all look nearly identical to each other and have no character) with the unfinished gameplay and the trademark generic system fonts.
@@scottmotcheson7455 that was a lie at best, a scam for sales at worst. They are an indie team, but not one guy. Or so I heard from the news from last year. Still, I don't care, it's a really good game that I've paid for. I'm waiting for infinity to come out with another level
Just Googled it and Bright Memory was made by one person, just type in was ‘was Bright Memory made by one person’ and you’ll get your answer. Let’s not take away from the excellent work one person managed to achieve for tinfoil hat personal theories lol
"In a furry world, werewolves just don't wear shirts" makes perfect sense.
I unironically love Neopets The Darkest Faerie. It was one of those games I got as a kid because I thought the case looked cool and while I didn’t beat the game as a kid, I still return to it every now and then. It’s odd to me because now that I’m older I typically don’t experiment with non mainstream titles (to a degree).
"The ability to jump is absolutely essential to the experience"
I think this might be true for classic Metroidvania games, but is more often than not untrue for Souls-Like Metroidvanias. Dark Devotion comes to mind .
Agreeeed
what I should’ve said was “jumping is *generally* essential to the experience,” but yeah
do not play neopets: the darkest faerie under any circumstances
Wow it's the famous neopets vtuber
Whens the sequel, Max? The cycle must be completed.
Ur just a dumb contrarian who can’t understand how the philosophical message of the game and u probably were filtered by the parent authorisation bit of the game. Best casual filter I’ve seen in a long time
Ignore the “how”
@@tomi2205 k
Yarntown seems amazing I wish it was finished tho, Unworthy seems fun, Neverinth seems like the combat is good, Juice World seems like a goat simulator type game and I love it
Honestly Neverinth looks pretty fucking sick combat-wise yeh. Kinda a shame they stopped working on it bcus it probably could have been a really fun game with a bit more content and balance
@@umbralumbreon7380 Neverinth definately had potential, giving up on the game so early in its creation due to "low sales" just points out what an odd world we're in right now but its not an uncommon situation for early access, it seems they just straight up ran out of money making what they could in the game. Unfortunate.
"this guy is just straight up using a book to hit me with"
knowledge.. is.. power?🤷🏽♂️
The start of Juice World...
I've never laughed that hard from a death in a game.
I feel sorry for your bank account doing this series
i’m sure he’s refunding these
We just had a summer sale it’s

He could literally pay for these with youtube income lol
Unworthy reminds me a ton of a small indie Roguelike called Gloom. When I saw it I thought for sure it was from the same studio but they are different. I can't believe that the animation and art style is so close to identical and I can't image Unworthy taking insipration from Gloom, considering just how small that game is.
Sponsors are so repetitive nowadays every Time he said "Ravensword: Shadowlands" I kept jumping too Raid: Shadow Legends
Honestly a game where you can create bootleg Geralt and skyrim up mountains before exploiting poor AI is always worth investing 30 mins.
Because they gotta leech off of WoW somehow
@@TuberoseKisser Surprisingly not. RaId: ShAdOw LeGeNdS was released in 2018; Shadowlands was only announced in 2019
@@SongbirdOfficial incorrect. Ravensword shadow lengends came out in 2012 on iOS.
@@Jester_Jingles Oh it's not the first game with that name? Interesting
As a girl, I'm here to say that "Bloodborne on PC" are the only three words that I want to hear
If they add some new stuff I will definetely buy it again...I'll be honest, for me is the BEST exclusive game of ALL TIME, and I'm not a PS fanboy, I had(and still have) an Xbox 360(not a PS3), and a good enough PC, I just choose what is the best for me personally at the time and when I saw Bloodborne I was like" YUP! Definetely get a PS4 this time!"
Alright then.
ARTHUR! How is it going?
@@drstephenstrange897 Honestly just Bloodborne with Mod Support would prob be enough of a change. Randomizers, Boss Rush Mods etc
@@soulslayer434 Sure but that's more a community thing...it all depends by the price(I will probably buy it anyway) but you can't sell a 5 years old game for like 50 or 60 bucks without anything improved
Come on, Neverinth got some juicy Nier: Automata' attack animations. The little light sword whirl and the long-sword charged up attack.. It's straight up stolen from N:A.
Oh damn you're right. I found myself wondering why some of the animations were really nice and polished while others were bad, and that certainly explains it. Here I was prepared to be impressed by something in the game. My mistake.
Juice World was juicy indeed
I don't remember them kicking the swords to make them whirl in Nier Automata, did they?
Also that draw cut at 7:10 literally came right out of MH:W. (although the concept is a cliche in Japan)
@@rafaelbordoni516 the small sword light attack string has one attack where you fling the sword out and it rotates doing damage.
Spear+heavy sword heavy attack has you plant the spear down, swing around it while kicking the sword to do damage.
That's some anime BS now that I'm writing it out...
Did not expect Juice World to appear in this series. What a classic.
i know this video is a year old, but i’ve recently found your channel and, after watching the most recent episode, wanted to binge through this whole series. up till this point, it’s made me laugh more consistently than anything else i can think of, owing mostly to your delivery and the bizarre games you’re often playing. all of my laughs have been short and brief (though no lesser in quality). however. the start of the juice world segment up until around 8:20, is the hardest i have laughed at anything in *months*. it felt perfectly engineered to kill me on the spot; the hesitant comment, your dry delivery, the goofy title screen, the robotic voice acting, just everything came together to murder my internet poisoned, sense of humor ruined brain. i am going to treasure that clip forever, because i don’t think it’ll ever *not* make me laugh. thank you so much for this serious, for showing these bizarre games, and for putting me in tears laughing in only 40 seconds

I wondered when you would find Unworthy, I have a soft spot for souls-likes and I have played quite a few, Unworthy is an underrated example and one of my favourites, by now you’ve played and reviewed most of if not all the souls-likes I have played except maybe Sinner Sacrifice for Redemption I don’t recall you playing it as of yet.
I love that neopets game, I used to play it all the time on the PS2. It's still a pretty solid game.
Wait.. They already made a Sunbro in neopets before Dark souls??? 13:30
Many ages ago, Solaire used to be a furry
00:09 "i grew up on NES and SEGA games."
*proceeds to complain about how dark souls combat only involves a few buttons.
Me: LMAO what?!?
It’s just bait dude. No one is that much of a contrarian
Them: Dark Souls only takes one button to win!
Me: So does the NES...
There is some truth to his statement though, combat and story definitely need some working on.
@@imhulki463 Bloodborne and Sekiro beg to differ
@@troy8420 yes both of those were good, but moving forward, work on story and combat.
I've watched a few of your vids from this series (I intend to watch them all eventually) and I gotta commend your tenacity. Even if a game is clearly bad or you don't like it, you still play it long enough to give it an honest try and a solid review. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for keeping this series up! After watching this I finally decided to start a series of my own around Roguelikes. Honestly man, if it wasn't for your work, I wouldn't have done it!
I had to play Juice World after seeing it in this video and I gotta say I'm a changed man, truly a masterpiece and it was legitimately fun and intriguing trying to find all the things you can do in the game. For anyone interested after you find the house with an attic/basement that has a hole leading to that weird underground area shown in the video there is another hole in one of the towers leading down to what I'm going to assume is "Hell" with a boss monster. After beating him leave through the portal and you will see your buddy from school in the graveyard who mentions the Snake teacher you ditched at the start of the game, at that point my Flight and Energy was upgraded pretty high so I started flying directly up (since we came to the graveyard from falling through the juice door) I wanted to see if I was able to return to the school which yes you can, the teacher is waiting for you with a sword and you end up having a battle with her. Trippy game would recommend.
Pineapple is op.
On top of all that, the game does in fact have an ending.
"It's the equivalent of leaving your house, remembering you left your oven on, driving back ten minutes, turning it off, then leaving."
This speaks to me, except the oven is usually not on...but sometimes I'll go back anyway for the peace of mind.
"Is I Garry of Rivia" I have not started laughing for no reason like that in a while
16:21 killed me - "That's where I draw the fuckin' line"
"Prepare to die" - Game named Juice world
“It is I. Gary of Rivia”
How dare you be this funny
this series is fun to watch! by now im getting the distinct impression any game with a minimalist or "different" art style is a must play for you
I love how you mesh Dark Souls dialogue with your ads!
*makes several videos and gets a video series format perfected*
"Yeah, this is still kinda experimental for me."
lmao I appreciate the thought, but I still do feel like I don’t know what I’m doing
@@IronPineapple The only critique i have of the format was that I really liked the Recommend/Mixed/Dont Recommend ratings from the earlier videos. Because sometimes it's hard to tell if you're just listing the negatives of an otherwise positive game, or if your feelings are actually mixed
@@IronPineapple Then that's a part of your method. Nobody expects or wants you to be The Fine Bros.
@@IronPineapple whoe cares when your getting heaps of views :P
Man, dude, you gotta start a naming system of some sort for these videos. I thought that I'd already seen this one until I happened to notice the upload time.
This.
Also, Steam Dumpster Diving of other genres would be welcomed as well.
I enjoy these videos. They are very soothing. I hope you make more, continuing to stretch the definition of soulslike further with each video.

@@Ruben98RaptoR Putting a little girl in your game is automatically +10 internet cult status e.g. KanColle/Azur Lane, Touhou, Fate GO. The West is slow to learn this trend, but games like TLoU (the first one) are signs that it is catching on.
A lot of VTubers are playing Nobeta btw.
It's already getting some hen- oops, there are sirens outside
Noble from Lost Pause also did a video on it, and he's big in the anime community
@@Ruben98RaptoR Ah yes, the classic hentai artists meme
That neopets game is just Dragon's Dogma pre Dark Arisen, when you had to run everywhere on the bigass map
7:09 Vergil? Is that you?
And that spinning blade attack seems kind of like some kinds of summoned swords.
Glad to see you covered Unworthy! Criminally underrated game. As everyone else is saying, the level design and boss design are surprisingly well done, but the real catch to me has always been the music. Sure, some songs just kind of fit into the "generic dark souls opera boss battle hullabaloo" genre, but others become much more memorable, especially through leitmotifs. In the fight against Narcoss the Anvil, blacksmithing noises are incorporated into the score, to say nothing of the "secret ending" mechanism that I'll leave spoiler-free...
For anyone interested in playing Neopets TDF, a few bits of advice from someone who played that game an absolute ton as a kid:
Stock up on potions of Meerca speed. They are cheap and greatly reduce the time you'll spend running around.
Don't just mash the circle button. You do a lot more damage by timing your attacks properly.
Save at every chance you get.
As a side note, I'm surprised that you never mentioned the huge amount of game-breaking bugs the game has. I know it is possible to not run into them but if you are lucky but the number of times they've made me quit and reload was frustrating as all Hell back in the day.
There’s this game called “Children of Morta” that’s super good. It’s a top down pixel art dungeon crawler but I guess it could also be considered souls like? Either way, it’s worth a shot, very good game but can be monotonous at times.
Yeah the gameplay loop was fun but it was a bit buggy at times
Children of Morta is amazing, they made a rogue like game with a really cool story and good combat.
Happy to see people love an Iranian game
Nice game but it is more diablo-like than souls-like.
Vladislav Ivanov true if you play the comparison game for sure, but i feel in some convoluted way it could be considered roughly souls like-ish¿
I’ve never played any dark souls game but I love watching ppl play them/ games that look like em
The person who designed neverinth knows what's most important when designing a game lol
That's Chinese games in general really. Like half the games we get that come out of China have a bizarrely anime-esque female MC regardless of how little that fits into the actual aesthetic of the world. They also love them some numbers, so many games they make just hit you with a deluge of points like he got in the video. And it doesn't even actually change that much usually, you'll get enough XP to level up 500 times and get the improvement a game from anywhere else would have in five, it's bizarre.
well then he failed, tits dont work like that.
0:10 "They got no story"

“It didn’t grab my attention.” So I guess it was Unworthy of your attention, eh?
I've actually played Unworthy! I didn't finish it because of the difficulty but I enjoyed as far as I got.
The guy who developed that game is currently heading a studio developing a metroidvania called Crowsworn! I'd recommend checking out the Steam page as it looks quite promising
I think he checked out Crowsworn in a recent video
5:54 the kicked dog noise got my heart
I grew up playing Neopets The Darkest Faerie! I still love it, even though I see its flaws now. One thing though, I always saw it as more of a Zelda-like than a Souls-like
I got rid of my copy before I ever finished it. I kinda want to get a new copy and play it all the way through this time.
thats because DS is heavily inspired by zelda
darth tator yeah I noticed that when I first played Demon’s Souls. Especially since at that time; I was playing Twilight Princess for the first time.

your review of dark devotion really accurately describes why I was so obsessed with the game for like a week then lost all interest.

17:20 A good portion of the bosses drop new starting gear, so you can start with better gear. Some of this gear drops randomly, but most of it is from bosses. This gear can include consumables that you'll start with every time. That's how you beat the harder bosses without having to go through the whole dungeon again.

I really like that you spend so much time in the games, that you can make a fair review
Yay, another session of Iron Pineapple recommendations!
On dark devotion: you're suppossed to give blueprints of new equipment to the blacksmith, that's how you get better starting gear on each run
Dark Devotion is badass. I’ve been really enjoying that one on PS4. I really like the main character. The pixel art is great and the hunt for new gear that can be made by the blacksmith in the hub is fun and compelling.
I feel like he missed the blacksmith in Dark Devotion. Heard they are making a new game and I can't wait.
I was eating Burger King during the Neopets part and began questioning my life choices
I'll mention it every time you make these, you gotta try Drakan (original on PC, but I only played the PS2 sequel called Drakan II: The Ancients Gate)
Neopets the darkest fairy is one of those games I never finished as a kid and always want to go back and see if it was as as frustratingly difficult as I remember it.
Pls try out "In celebration of violence". It's an amazing souls-like with lots of charm and neat mechanics. Also has some cool lore and obscure as hell. The definition of hidden gem. Hope you play it.
I remember seriously playing Ravensword: Shadowlands on mobile when I was like 11 and for some reason absolutely loving the game.
I could use that level of expectations now.
I had the exact same experience. Completed it a couple times, man it was a banger. Unfortunately he missed out on his chance to get a fucking pterodactyl mount to fly around the world lol, that thing was broken though. I remember just flying over everything, not needing to fight through enemies
@@appleyanimator6541 Exactly! Who wouldn't want a pterodactyl?!

Finally, after five times recommending it, you took a look at Unworthy. Good to know you had as much fun with it as I did. I'll stop bothering you about it now.
my friend would probably greatly appreciate that! he worked hard on it!
@@dominiquerichard1342 Hey, a buddy of the dev! No problem. It had my curiosity when it was advertised as a metroidvania without jumping, but then it got my attention when I got to use the hammer the second boss used against me. Hey, while you're here, any chance he would be interested in making a game like Wario Land 3 but bigger and better? Because I have an idea for a game like that and really want to get it made. So if your buddy is mildly curious as to what that entails, he can e-mail me at wariodude128@hotmail.com and we can see what happens from there.
9:58 when you realize you're at the circus again.
The 'Souls-Like' from 2000 I go back to every few years is 3DO's Crusaders of Might and Magic. They developed the PS2 version first, and then rebuilt the game from scratch for PC, resulting in wildly different games concerning story (and sometimes even gameplay). I found it on GOG a while back; it's definitely worth a look. I'm loving your series! It keeps me entertained. :)

Hard? So is this the "dark souls" of youtube series?
"Unworthy" reminded me of that old game from gamejolt I found years ago called "red rogue", it's UI elements feel very similar and the theme feels like an upgrade.
Man I can't get over that sponsor bit introduction, I don't know there is something about the ds1 Knight barging in the video and kicking down the door that catch me off guard and make me laugh everytime, so unexpected and yet so on point
Hey man! Jsyk you are the first RUclipsr I subscribed AND rang the bell for :) Love the souls-like vids! Keep em coming!!
Speaking of souls-likes, have you played Hellpoint yet? If not PLAY IT!
20:15 hey that's my review :D
I got Ling when it was pretty cheap and after I wrote my review didn't play any further. I gave it the thumbs up mostly because of the moments like at 18:28, because some of the views were just really nice. Also, when I did manage to get the parry/attack times down, the combat did feel pretty weighty, which I enjoyed. But it ended up just becoming a mob-rush bullethell which just didn't allow that combat to shine like it could have done.
Love you pineapple, I've watched you so many years so to see something I wrote featured even briefly in one of your videos means the world to me.
haha that’s wild that it’s actually you
@@IronPineapple I was so surprised when I saw it haha! I was actually thinking of suggesting the game to you for this series but I typically just lurk rather than comment, but I felt like I just had to say something when I saw myself haha!
Nice Tophamhat Kyo Steam pic lmao.
The darkest faerie was one of my favorite games as a kid. The Arena fights were my favorite
It reminds me of the old Bionicle game. Also a little bit like that dungeon crawler Fate with the visuals.
@@expendableindigo9639 Oi a new fan made one is coming out soon if I recall.
I’ve never been a fan of fromsoft games such as dark souls, I’m more of a DMC type of guy or God of war, but even so I love your videos man, also the dude at the beginning “Who only like tapping one button” I think he died to the first boss, blamed it on the game, then got mad, the first time I played bloodborne I was genuinely mad, I calmed down and came to the realization that it’s just not for me, your videos are basically the only souls content I watch and your videos are great!
15:17 ah the good old fashioned The Elder scrolls climbing trick.
Lol yeah, first thing I thought of. No hate though, I wish more games did that rather than putting up invisible walls.
DarkMaus is a pretty short soulslike that imo absolutely nailed the atmosphere. It even has "invasions", sort of.
No one goes into the wilderness with a rune longsword. Rune scimitar is the way to pwn noobs
Lmao the rune scimi
Back in the day f2p pking with rune long swords was meta
@@cameronclark3418 it's pretty much a f2p spec weapon
"what are 3 words every girl wants to hear?"
Me: ??
"Bloodborne on PC."
Me: Yeah, that's accurate.
I'd really like if you did more of these videos with other genres as well you have a good style and critique these games pretty fairly and there just aren't many channels that try and dig up forgotten or underlooked games with this level of fidelity.
