crispy4000 Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Ghost Song is in this? Okay, I gotta try that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Yeah, I'd recommend Melatonin to anyone that enjoyed the the Rhythm Heaven games. It's exactly the same kind of game, but swapping the zany pop for chill lofi beats. The presentation is super clean. I'm a fan of what I saw playing my way through the levels available in the demo.

crispy4000 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 @stepee Mail Mole spiritual successor. Try it. Didn't hit me at first. Then I realized you could dash boost on landing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Slopecrashers - There's some real potential here. It's like if Snowboard Kids was more like SSX. Some parts of it definitely feel low budget, but they got the controls mostly right, which is what I care most about. Hopefully they spruce it up a bit and don't rush it out. Koa and the Five Pirates - A slightly more polished Mail Mole. Generally speaking that's a good thing. Should be one to watch of you liked 3D World/Land, but I'm not expecting it to be a must play. Agent 64 - I enjoyed an older demo, and it's only improved since. They somehow make it look like a modern N64 game without being gross or too pandering. The controls are literally perfect as well. Play this, it's fantastic and fun, even if you have no nostalgia for Goldeneye. Spark and the Electric Jester 3 - Feels slightly better than modern Sonic in some ways, but it comes off as cheap knock off due to the poor level design and environment visuals. Bit of a let down, but not totally unexpected. Beneath Oresa - Yes, yes, yes, good stuff. My highlight so far. The visual presentation is damn cool, and the card game elements seem like they work well, if not quite as elegantly as Slay the Spire. I wanted to play more, but they cut the demo off before the first 'boss.' This is definitely on my radar. Anger Foot - Need to play it further to form a solid opinion. It's Hotline Miami in first person essentially. I feel like I suck at it though, so that dampened the fun a bit. It's definitely worth trying out.Verge World - Crap controls, ugly game. Skip.

thedarkstark Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 OK Anger Foot is AMAZING. I was not impressed by the trailer, I thought it looked pretty meh other than the aesthetic but I tried the demo and was blown away I'm really hyped for it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hell Pie - I really wanted to like this, and to its credit, the controls feel pretty good. But instead of being like Conker's Bad Fur Day, it just tries to be gross and unappealing without hurmor. It also veers into standard 3D platformer visual territory (see the above). Not a good combo. Frogun - Completely opposite Hell Pie in the best possible way. You can grapple onto any wall you point at, grab items and enemies and throw them like Yoshi. The retro look works well for it, since it matches the gameplay style well. Give it a shot if you're at all interested. Turn off the ugly default filter.

thedarkstark Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Metal Helsinger also incredible. I love rhythm games and action games but have found the two generally don't mesh all that well. I own rhythm mash-up games like BPM and crypt of the necrodancer and they're ok but nothing special imo. Metal hellsinger blends the two seemlessly, being slightly off-beat isn't nearly as punishing as other similar concept games but it greatly rewards timing by allowing you to do more damage and increase your combo multiplier. The game also has online leaderboards so anyone who loves chasing highcores is going to be in love with this game. The production values are topnotch. I don't love metal (it's ok) but I was rocking out to this. Highly recommend checking this out if you like rhythm based games and shooters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One major downside I forgot to mention: the music is trash. I still prefer Koa to it on the whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 You Suck at Parking - Overhead driving game where you 'park' whenever you fully stop. The goal is to stop in parking spaces, and you have limited gas to get there. Works in concept, but once they ramp the difficulty up with boost pads (that waste gas) it becomes a pain. Nine Sols - It's not a Metroidvania, but rather a straight up action game with some story layered on top. Combat boils down to executing parries then a specific follow up counter to do any major damage. It's slick in presentation, could end up being great, but I'm not the biggest fan of its gimmick.

Also a big fan of the art style. At the moment it's a little rough around the edges (missing some pretty basic QoL stuff) but I think this is going to turn out great, can't wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Played Agent 64. First thing I did was turn off the ugly CRT filter. Then I turned the aim sensitivity up to 2 and I've never done this before but turned the crosshairs on my monitor on and it made the game play a lot better.

I didn't and thought it looked great, oddly enough. I normally can't stand CRT filters in Retroarch. Even that Frogun game looked gross with them.

crispy4000 Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Midnight Fight Express - It's like a Dreamcast-era beat'um up with a darker tone and skill trees. Not bad, but I wish it went in a cheesier direction. There's also a bit too much tutorial. If you liked Anger Foot, this is worth trying.

DPCyric Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Ok I went through like 67 demos and I skipped a few I knew I would like (Metal Hellsinger and Ripout most notably). If anyone wants me to do a write up on any of these let me know: Wishlisted: Nitro Kid Cult of the Lamb Tyrant's Blessing Aces and Adventurers Absolute Tactics Deadzoned A Credits Bounty Game The Fabulous Fear Machine Swordship Verge World Dome Keeper Far Away from home Will grab it if it I see it in a bundle with other stuff I want: Nine Sols Elsie Fountains Mercenaries Rebirth Sigil of the Magi Frogue That Which Rises Ninja Soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I played Alaskan Truck Simulator. It's a bit different than ATS or ETS in that you get out of the truck and have to eat and actually hook your trailer up and stuff. It was alright but I think the other truck sims play better (or have better control options anyway) and no FOV slider so I got kinda motion sick playing it.
