Jesus fucking chirst, have you even played/watched it?

Game?

Everspace?

>>379144679
but that's what a roguelike is. No story, no characters, no drive. Just go to random dungeon/planet/field and kill n number of randomised enemies

>>379144062
Thats not red-like at all, but it is more like the color red than the game Rogue.

desu game have a pretty good story for a rougelike.

>>379146145
what the story, mate?

>muh berlin interpretation!
No one fucking cares
The term is no longer yours, fucking deal with it

>>379144416
Because Tales of Majeyal already exists.

Indie devs don't want to make complex mechanics, or more builds than the cookie cutter rogue/mage/fighter.

Buy everspace, no joystick controls, refund.
It's a space game, how can you fuck it up.. It has Controller layout as it's standard.

reverse image search has failed me


is this nu-descent?

Writing it in few words will probably make it look silly.
Anyway, I'll try:

>You and your best bud in space pilot academy gone through shit during inter-spiecies conflict
>he was a charismatic ace pilot, you were a biologist/engineer genious who was making clone soliders
>war ended with a draw, peace treaty created a big demitarized zone in space
>Your bro started making some shady deals as a crime lord in the zone, and you joined him,
>got caught by radical human admiral and forced to clone aliens to false-flag an attack on human forces
>you refuse and admiral and your former buddy imprision you, while poisoning you with neuro-toxin that is slowly killing you.
> you manage to escape and you reach one of your own military labs in demilitarized zone
> the clonig vats are broken, and you are dying due to neuro-toxin
> you put yourself in cryo-sleep, and you activate another lab that is starting shitting out clones with coordinates for your location.

There is more, like mysterious female pilot who is helping you from time to time, and the "true" ending that I have not unlocked yet.

Anyway, I like that at the start of the game you dont know basicly nothing, and you start getting flashbacks everytime you get further.

>>379147263
they know most people on pc are traitors and bought controllers
a flightstick is of course a thousand times better but devs flocked to consoles a long time ago and here were are
Its also a VR bait game

more like freelancer/descent

game looks and runs like a treat, btw.

Why do indie space game devs make space so colorful? Are there any games that really get the stark black and white aesthetic of space right?

>>379147352

You are, and always will be, the casual offspring of roguelikes.

Shut your mouth.

>>379146329
The fucking Berlin interpritation is why it is no longer ours. Its why faggot ass indie devs can claim Rogue-likeness without the game being like Rogue.

I got the same impression, since I love flight sims and have a top-tier HOTAS.

But after I've played few hours, I came to the conclusion that flightstick would only gimp you. Game was clearly made for K+B

it's not a roguelike, call it a roguelite

there is a Descent roguelite called sublevel zero which is ok (it will scratch that itch)
there is also overload which is proper classic Descent

I've seen some stuff on sublevel zero; honestly I think I'll just wait it out for overload.

If this was like Freelancer I'd play it. But playing until you die just to replay the same level is not what I am looking for.

Dark Souls is the best roguelike.

Because actual space is boring as fucking shit, it's exactly as you described.

Black.

White.

>>379148969
Black and white isn't boring.

>>379149141
It's a fun god game. But a terribly boring color scheme.

overload is in EA
pretty good even though it's only got 2 proper levels
it also has the best robot explosions

>>379148560
same, im going back to starpoint gemini warlords

>this game is actually out
I almost shit myself. I definitely expected it to be Early Access bullshit, someone released a game in current year. I guess I'll try it

Ok so is it good or not? No meme opinions please.

>>379149545
It's pretty fun. Kind of gets a bit formulaic once you figure out the trick to dogfighting and get a few glyphs/subroutines and a good set of blueprints to craft your favorite weapons. There's not many enemy craft types or level sets surprisingly. It's enough to work with, but once you learn how the "tile sets" like asteroids, bases, etc work you can almost always go to them on any map and find the same crates/resources placed. 6-7/10 fun enough

>>379149141

Pros.
>tight, high skill celling space combat (but very arcadey, since the ship is VERY responsive and fight velocity vectors are basilcy non existant.)
>great visuals
>good story
>lots of replay-value, since the combat is great and it don't feel like a chore to get though levels over and over again

Cons
> no ship visual customisation except the colors
> few weapons
>only three ships (and eventhough each of those plays in whole diffrent way, another 2-3 will be great)
>ship permanent upgrade mechanic basicly forces you to max out a single ship 1st before you start upgrading other ones, Now I am kinda forced to play my main ship because the others are shit until I get the dosh to max them as well.
>No 4th, "insane" difficulty level or "endless dungeon mode" (but to be fair, Hard is really hard and I havent finished even half of it,)
> NO FUCKING CO-OP which will make this game a serious GOTY pretender for me.

Sure if you get ambushed it can get a little hairy but thats pretty rare, in my games anyway.

not when you get 3+ elites of fighter/bombers + drone swarm at once every sector past 4 on hard.

it not like those encounters are impossible, but they eat up a lot of consumables and the war attition is what is killing me atm.

Dunno, maybe other ships have easier time to deal with this, since I've maxed out only scout for now.

>>379151352
Bombers And drone carriers are the only things that give me any troublewhen I'm not using beeline. But I honesty rarely use consumables outside of some drones. A time extender is all I ever really need in my interceptor. If they get close/start winning just time extend and run away for a little. I'm happy to see elites usually, that means access keys! Fusion blaster ma2 + extender for life.

You do realize ToME is literally an indie games, right? Fucking retard.

>>379151598
>spoiler fucked up
That's odd. Oops. And yeah, beeline is a crutch but I prefer torpedos anyway.

Fuck this shit, I usually avoid them if possible. its not like they are very hard to kill, but time consuming and most of the time, not worth it.
> beeline
??? what do you mean?
>Fusion blaster ma2 + extender for life.

I prefer gatling 40mm, but I've always had giant boner for projectile and missle weapons in space combat. That dakka sound and trail of bullets whille turbo-boosting as scout on time extender gets me hard every time.

>>379152136
Beeline is a subroutine that disables homing missiles globally. You can't use them, and ai can't use them. Hardly a problem for me but it absolutely castrates missile emplacements and bombers.

looks more green and blue to me

>>379152391
Er, I mean you can use them but nothing locks or homes anymore. Just flys straight forward. Everything becomes a torpedo.

Why is life unfair? All I want is to build a meme build bulwark who is immune to everything all the time.

>>379147776
this
why would i want to play knowing i can't possibly win untill i grind out the upgrades through dying? What fucking shithead thought this was acceptable game design? This is the antithesis of roguelikes, the idea is that you can win, right from the first run, if you focus and don't fuck up

>>379153537
>can't win without grinding
It took me only 15 runs to beat the game and I haven't lost since. You absolutely could win with a vanilla interceptor. Might need some lucky weapon drops and to not get screwed by a drone carrier jammer tho.
