Is this the first Project Zomboid-like?
Monday, June 2, 2025
Nightreign gets to the Risk of Rain point where you figure out the way you are meant to play after 10-15 hours or so, and then runs are this fun flow state
meta progression is weird, it's semi-rewarding but is very Japanese and poorly organized and has a bad UI
I think ror2 sorta stumbled on how important multiple map variants was (I remember the devs being surprised by how much more fun it made things
and I don't think Nightreign does a good job at that, and is prety weird with what they decide to randomize run-to-run in general
The characters (mechanically) are the best part of the game, and I wish they had committed to adding more quicker
loot is the weird part
Equipment you're mostly hunting for passives, and because of how upgrades work you're not really going to be switching around weapons in the middle of a fight much (unless you're playing a caster)
accessories are complete RNG given how few drops you'll get in a run, and how specific they are
and the consumable pool is full of so much trash it's not even worth bothering unless you have a lot of downtime
^ that's for loot in the world
the drops you get from beating bosses work better
I wish it was easier to quickdrop your pick on the ground though, when it's for someone else
oh, and game length
45 minutes or w/e seems fine, and the power-per-level gain feels paced about right
they could have made the # of days variable, and let you press your luck kinda like ror looping
but a good team will clear the map as it is in 2 days
They desperately need a surrender function, because you can identify a lost run in the first ~5 minutes, and there's no way to force the game to end early, so all 3 players will just idle and wait for the night 1 fight, 20 minutes in and let it end the game then
other than that, just a lot of small QoL stuff, fixing the queues, and the voice/text chat that we'll never get
OH, and for the love of God change how rezing people works
Game takes 40-60 hours to "beat" as far as I can tell
hard to quantify that in number of runs, because some of the quests don't require clearing everything
and as far as characters go, all 8 are fairly viable
Witch could use an ability rework, but can definitely still contribute
Bird's shield and Executioner's katana ability are both rarely built around, but the rest of their kit works despite this
High art
but what's the point of the mask if you take it off?
This is why I insist all doctors take their masks off when I visit the hospital
no beta cucks allowed near me
tell that to dream leg

I think that guy FUCKING LIED
Me, Polu, and Rusp were playing tf2 2fort 24/y 32 player instant respawn (the correct way to play) and some autist said "If you like kirby you might like cookie run kingdom, its similar because like kirby, its lore is sick and twisted" (paraphrased)
He was being unironic and it stands out as one of the funniest things I have ever been told in a multiplayer game
The lore of kirby is just a fun side conversation piece compared to the games being really good
Kirby is my favourite franchise, so you are speaking to the choir here!
favourite individual game of all time is kid icarus uprising, but kirby overall is my favourite franchise
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak favourite individual game of all time is kid icarus uprising, but kirby overall is my favourite franchise
I've been meaning to replay Kid Icarus Uprising for some time now. I played it on release and haven't since.
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I've been meaning to replay Kid Icarus Uprising for some time now. I played it on release and haven't since.
I replayed the first few chapters a couple months ago after also having not played it since launch
such a good game
No b0b, Rusp is right
you promised him a ukraine support package
you hurt him a lot

You must've forgotten
