unlabelledView post →Finally started #Hades for #videogameclub #vgcaugust2024. It's shockingly similar to #BeatSlayer which I really liked just without the rhythm elements. And by similar I mean Beat Slayer is probably a copy of Hades plus rhythm elements. Like, even the UI looks similar. Unfortunately for Hades, I like Beat Slayer more. I like the rhythm elements and its UI works better on #SteamDeck. In Hades, all text is a little too small.

unlabelledView post →Stream was great last night -- I had a blast, especially with Beat Slayer which is such a fun game. Kinda a rough end though -- Twitch was *completely* broken yesterday; couldn't change my point redeems, couldn't raid anyone, couldn't even log back in. Hoping this is all fixed today.. 🙏
unlabelledView post →Loaded up #BeatSlayer once again. Immediately stumbled upon a small bug I never noticed before but that I recently fixed in our own game - Beat Slayer is made in #Unity, too. Maybe I should send an applicatio... ah right. I already did.
unlabelledView post →I finished #BeatSlayer! Great game. First rogue like I finished, too! It recently got an update allowing you to further upgrade your permanent skills and introducing more non-permanent upgrades and will receive two more larger updates this year. If you like techno or rhythm games or rogue likes, give it a try!
unlabelledView post →One can perform some quite interesting analyses with this game. For example, a #GameDesign principle I really like is introducing one thing at a time. They do well with presenting new enemies isolated in the first few levels, but from act 2, it gets chaotic. I did notice new enemy types, but due to the amount of other enemies, I could not really observe them, which makes the game harder and also makes me appreciate them less. #BeatSlayer
unlabelledView post →Having a lot of fun with #BeatSlayer. It still has some minor bugs, but the devs are apparently working on it. I can however currently not play it on the #SteamDeck, which is a real bummer. It's shockingly resource hungry and therefore does not run on Full HD in desktop mode. In Steam mode, where res is reduced by default, it used to run but now it crashes. Hrmpf. I feel confirmed in not buying games when they are new. If those bugs get fixed I'll get a lot of play time out of that game though.
unlabelledView post →The only thing that is a bit odd is that I needed to turn the music volume way up and all the other volumes down to hear the music enough to hit the beats. Bit weird for a rhythm game to default to a rather low music volume. Also, if you consider playing the demo: I don't know if savegames can be transfered to the full game but you can save and load in the demo. #BeatSlayer
unlabelledView post →Tried #BeatSlayer again, thought the demo might work now that the game is out. It did. It's fun! I still cringe a little at some of the dialogue but I, unsurprisingly, like the IT nerd. :D Overall the setting is cute and the gameplay is fun and addictive. Let's see for how long - I really liked Brotato for a while, too, then never wanted to play it again. It would be the first Roguelite I actually play. (Is Brotato a Roguelite? It's a "play the same thing over and over" game at least.)
unlabelledView post →ah, apparently #BeatSlayer has been published. Time to give the demo a second chance.
unlabelledView post →Hades meets Hi-Fi Rush? That's how the reps at PAX described their game, Beat Slayer. I managed to beat the boss in the PAX demo, upon which a dev at the booth told me "when the game comes out, you can go straight to Hard Mode." I'm about to take on that challenge on stream: twitch.tv/azran127
