I think i rather stick with hyper instead of both hyper and hurry. Love the slow versions of the song selection. Damn those new levels really step it up a notch don't they.

 

[22•22]

First serious run Gallo Tower.

No garlic

Is my DMG scaling still fucked or rather weird?

 

[22•22]

Well I maxed out my perms. Now on to "beat" the zones. Can't phantom how I'll beat the one hit kill bosses even with revival on but ok.

This game is full of suprises...

Yeah, you've got some experimenting to do with some mechanics that may or may not be obvious. If you get stuck and want some hints, let me know.

 

[22•22]

Explain mechanics? I mean. I guess my understanding is the priority (main weapon? Maybe not needed depending on the character?) and when far enough choice of subweapons per zone ie which works best. I feel my zoning and tricking the AI into certain directions (early & early mid game) is doing me well.

That's my interpretation.

So again, if you please...

Some mechanics? If I know what you mean I can start experimenting I guess

 

[22•22]

Btw found the hidden character in Gallo. Very nice. What triggers the golden coin meter? Sorry to sound lazy. But since I'm typing already

 

[22•22]

Shit got psychedelic at one point with the gold meter jfc lmao. First time trying this zone

 

[22•22]

First run. Madness.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I'd give this achievement to Mrs. Voyage but this ole bone zone has 10 mins tops left in it.

 

[22•22]

Either way better 10 than 9.

Use the map and explore all that stages have to offer. That's the vague version. Want more?

 

[22•22]

That's more or less what I'm doing although not 100% (group killing keeps me pretty much stationary although I do wonder around). I'll start taking that serious then for now.

Thanks Soo

- 7 new EXTRA achievements
- 1 new bonus stage
- 2 new characters
- 4 new weapons (of which 2 evos)
- 1 new relic

In this patch there are a lot of fixes too, including some optimisations that will let you play a run with Sammy for at least 2 more seconds than before!

Steam Achievements notes: this patch actually adds 8 platform Achievements, because it includes the Atlas Gate from the Adventures update!

Yeah not sure how I missed it on release but I played last night and found it enjoyable. Though I am getting a bit of weapon fatigue.

Holy shit. Congrats! That's beyond my imagination lmao! All your weapons are unfamiliar to me lol. Lvl 12 weapons? Say what? Nice run man FFS. Fatigue as in familiarity?

Can't pass the bone zone.

And who's sammy lol.

Playing on series s btw.

I missed it totally also.

Sammy is a character in the game.

 

[22•22]

Now i feel dumb. Any tips regarding the bone zone? No health and my perms are maxed out.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Are you using coins to unlock other characters?

Remember it isn't a case of conquering each zone and then that's it one and done.

You'll notice a question mark moving round on the map - level up your weapons then go after the question mark - keep at it when you get to it, it might seem like its having no effect but eventually it will go down - it will be sucking up the other enemies as it goes so try to defeat those before it does. Makes more sense when you see it in action.

With that character I do a one weapon run.

Spoiler: Gameplay mechanics

You need the appropriate arcanas to make it viable.

I got excited for this but then remembered I've been running the beta so I've done all this content. I've even got a screenshot I forgot to share.

22:22, this might raise too many questions so I'm sorry

Haven't unlocked those yet for that zone. Don't know shit about this game. Prolly have to do one zone very very well for unlocking that.

How come? Makes perfect sense.

I think I'm confusing the collectables with the question mark. Can't seem to remember seeing question marks in the zones I've beaten... Hmm.

I'll go ahead and try. Thanks.

I've got the merchant and I didn't know gold coins are used to unlock characters. I've unlocked maybe 6 last night. "Panda" is cute

You know. You're prollu going to laugh but it was this week I found out the coins did the leveling. Not defeating the enemies. Well indirectly or the other way around. Anyways. Duh.

That spoiler will unlock a lot of experimenting for you. I tend to stick with just a handful. Always check the unlocks on the main menu and have a gameplan to check off as many as you can. That will help you get some progress.

 

[Soodanim]

How come? Makes perfect sense.

I wasn't on a snow level, for what it's worth

 

[22•22]

I was sarcastic because that screen was tripping Soo!

Instead of teasing, if you want to know:

Spoiler

The cooldown and size of attacks/effects got so powered up that it covered 100% the possible pixels on the screen, and because it's white you can't see the timer or other numbers

First run in a week.

Boner Stage. Lucky RNG

Weird, it's working just fine for me on iPad. Seems to be effecting multiple users though.

I've been itching for something new to grab my attention as pretty much everything right now is either a 100+ hour epic (Dragons Dogma and Monster Hunter Rise 2nd play through) or it's just kind of repetitive and the progression doesn't feel like anything new is being added (Black Skylands).

So, I decided to revisit the derivatives of VS.

I picked up the double pack of Brotato and Halls of Torment. So far, I vastly prefer HoT. I love the aesthetic & progression so far (1hr40m of playtime). My gripe with Brotato is the art style (not terrible, just seems too close to the Meat Boy artist. I really hate the gameplay loop of having to stop every 60 seconds. It breaks the pacing too much for me. I think the gameplay could be more rewarding to me if this mechanic was overhauled.

Hmm. I still have ways to go with vs regarding zones and challenges.

Does arcane unlock those cards?

Btw Maiden Voyage

I as well dislike the meatboy artstyle.

Arcane is the path my friend.

 

[22•22]

I have 2 cards now. Instant buff. Thanks for the info my jolly ol' friend

 

[Soodanim]

Cards are the key to so much. Enjoy unlocking them, then enjoy using them even more.

22•22 are you keeping track of the unlockables in the menu? They can sometimes be a guide of things you haven't done yet.

 

[22•22]

Yeah i took a peak. I'm close to a handfull at least

It’s on gamepass but don’t like achievements with odd numbers

 

[Maiden Voyage]

New DLC incoming... Looks interesting. I'll probably cave and buy it.
