Why did the rougelite genre go to shit so fast? Had so much promise to it 5 years ago when it was represented by high polish games such as Isaac, Spelunkey, and Rouge Legacy. Now here we are 5 years later and it's just deck builder spam

Synthetik was a nice surprise, other than that you are probably right.
Brandon Jenkins
why has he not done a sequel with a randomized overworld, he has bloated this game to high heavens
Juan White
Future of rougelikes are in vr

Risk of Rain 2 and Dead Cells and Vagante completely SHIT on them.
Robert Perez
? Are you retarded?
Between Monster Train, Hades, Gunfire Reborn and Slay the Spire the genre is the best it's ever been. It literally innovates year on year, what more do you want? Spelunky 2?
Austin Morales
> Spelunky 2?
any news on that?
Easton Wright
Hopefully not, original game is garbage. We can add it to the pile of indie game sequels that got announced and turned to vaporware including Darkest Dungeon 2, Huniepop 2 and Antibirth official
Kevin Scott
>Gunfire Reborn
my mother fucking nigger
>Hades
it's good but i found the characters and story beyond cringe, also the tankiness of some enemies is completely fucked and it breaks the flow of the game.
Curse of the Dead Gods is waaaay better imo, but beyond that i agree 100%, the genre is getting better.
Brandon Garcia
dunno why people still play Spelunky when Vagante is Spelunky but better in every way possible.

you're looking at the wrong corner niggy
Xavier Roberts
This genre has a massive loyal cult following, doesn't it? I blame one egg.
Andrew Bell
Missed the estimated release date by like a year or something and it still isn't out. Nothing more to say, Derek Yu's given practically nothing aside from the trailer and some footage of game journalists playing it at an event I don't think any of them even managed to get out of the first world
Alexander Richardson
This. Until You Fall is based.
Asher Walker
>Antibirth official
im 100% sure Edmund pushed the release back because his god awful bumbo spinoff sold like shit.
Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ didn't take this fucking long.
Jacob Flores
>Until You Fall
Compound is amazing too, wish the soundtrack was as good.
Eli Long
This. OP is a fucking idiot
Angel Campbell
>pixelshit
>combat oriented
>bossfights
Did you even play spelunky?
Jeremiah Harris
He wants to finish the series with a bang i would assume
Robert Hernandez
Antibirth was developed by a team of 4. For the official version, Edmund hired the lead programmer only - he's building it solo, which is why it's taking so long.
Not even Nicalis has been pulled in to help like every other deadline that fat fuck has missed (Thank god, they fucking ruined Afterbirth+)
Wyatt Flores
Edmund has stated multiple times he gives absolute 0 fucks about Isaac and views it solely as a cash cow he didn't expect, or understand why, it got big.
Bentley Ward
>Pixelshit
looks a thousand times better than calarts animated with twinks
Sebastian Adams
Yeah, and the guy got burned out because of it. So the time releases gets pushed even further.
Luis Scott
I've been meaning to try Compound, looked fun, thanks user

Too repetitive

never heard of it

thoughts on 30XX?
youtube.com
loved 20XX (hated the artstyle but the gameplay was tight) and played the demo of 30XX, i feel in love with it but im wondering what yall think about it.
Alexander Anderson
How is One Step from Eden? Looks fun but also like something I'd be terrible at
Julian Cruz
>rougelite game
>too repetitive
you are an absolute fucking retard.
Hudson Reyes
>Gunfire Reborn
>Never heard of it
Go play tlou2 fucking zoomshit
Nathaniel Anderson
>all early access games
Looking at his other projects only Isaac really took off, he should respect it more.
Nathan Taylor
Early Access stopped being a red flag when Steam started hardcore policing it in 2017.
Chase Adams
>Gunfire Reborn
the games pretty good, it's made by chinks but it's probably one of the best FPS rougelite games out there (there are not a lot but some of the genre are pretty amazing game on their own right)
Mason Long
rogue legacy sucks
Grayson Taylor
>all early access games
Dead Cells isn't, you dumb zoomer.
Julian Sanchez
Mount and Blade Bannerlord is still a huge red flag and its in EA
No its quite overrated though
Nathan Rodriguez
Hong Kong isn't China.
Although it might as well be, the game is 90% ripped assets. The sound effect for one of the guns is the fucking dragonbreath sound effect from Skyrim.
Luke Bell
>literally Borderlands but without the cringy fucking story/characters
im interested, for an EA game, how much content does it have?
Justin Sanchez
There is almost no variance from run to run in Hades. THe only thing that varies from run to run are the weapon you use, which 2 deadalus upgrades you get, a few special encounters, and god/goddess boons that barely affect gameplay
Jose Phillips
Monster train is interesting but $25 is too much, guess I'll wait a few years to buy it
Charles Hernandez
>the game is 90% ripped assets.
besides some sounds/animations, everything from the 3D models to the effects are original.
also who gives a shit about skyrim lmao
Blake Clark
Pixel art can be done well, Vagante isn't. Spelunky is just a higher detail version of the original, which is pixel art done well. No dumb lighting effects, no rotated pixels, designs detailed enough to stand out but not overcomplicated, no massive black outline around everything.
Vagante practically looks like the perfect example of when not to use pixel art.
