What demos do you guys recommend playing first?
Steam Next Fest
Lincoln Reed
Carson Cook
I've downloaded Card Shark, GigaBash, Small Saga, Neon White, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40k - Shootas, Blood & Teef and Mini Maker.
By now the only one I played is Turbo Overkill, which is pretty damn fun.
Austin Jones
The ones I've liked the most so far are Neon White and Soulash.
I also enjoyed Bio-Gun, but mostly for the setting and paltforming. For a Hollow Knight clone, the combat is unfortunately pretty boring. It feels like squandered potential.
Jaxson Rivera
>Neon White
what kind of game is it? It's still downloading in my PC, can you tell me how did the experience feel to ya?
Jackson Allen
Here are the ones I liked so far
>Abriss
Seems intuitive and looks really cool. Only wish my potato could handle it properly.
>Boundary
Not quite Shattered Horizon but definitely interesting. Needs a lot of fixing. My potato can't handle it properly either.
>Giga Bash
Just seems pretty polished and fun.
Some which I liked well enough but I didn't bother finishing:
>Fallen Aces
Very interesting but I was hoping for a poker game. Probably on me for not looking into it.
>Gibbon
Only didn't finish it because it would keep making trouble. Really enjoyed what I played of it. Definitely buying if people give good reviews on Any Forums and steam.
Ryan King
Thus far:
>Aethernaut
Runs like shit and also a bad demo. Game concept seems sound, the demo is just shit.
>Silt
REALLY short demo. Like 4 or 5 screens, but does a good job of showcasing the game's mechanics as a puzzle adventure game.
>The Unliving
Necromancer hoard sim, pretty boring.
Next up:
>Souldiers
>Tinykin
Sebastian Flores
Controls like an FPS plays like a first person platformer or puzzle game. Levels are short and you try to fine the fastest route through, killing demons and using their one time use item drops.
Out of the missions theres some dating sim elements where you can gift secrets found in the levels to various characters
James Gomez
Tinykin is a bit too easy but it's honestly pure soul.
Liam Garcia
I did a write-up in this post here: Basically, you run through a series of short platforming courses, shooting targets in the form of enemies and trying to get the fastest completion time you can. You can pick up weapons off the ground or dropped by certain enemies which both function as a weapon, and can be sacrificed in exchange for a one-time (generally movement-based) ability. Pistol gets you a double jump, submachine gun gets you a ground pound, RPG gets you a grapple hook/zipline, etc.
It's mechanically pretty tight, and most of my enjoyment came from trying to get the fastest level times possible by discovering shortcuts/skip opportunities/etc. Since the only requirements are "kill all enemies and touch the end goal," you generally have some decent leeway in how you move through the level.
I'll see if I can whip up some WebMs before the thread dies.
Andrew Perez
For me, it was (in no particular order)
>Small Saga
>The Lone Blade
>Pain Party
>Horny Warp
Luis Watson
has anyone played crowz or battle cry of freedom?
Sebastian Moore
You liked The Lone Blade?
Personally I felt like the camera controls didn't mesh well with the gameplay since the way you angle yourself is so important, and I don't think "minor mistake fucks you over and sends you back to checkpoint" and "slow pace" tend to go together well.
I think the concept is interesting, but I didn't care for the execution.
Matthew Hernandez
Souldiers was fun and it seems like it has a lot of promise
Evan Perez
>I think the concept is interesting
The main reason I listed it, in a sea of samegames.
Caleb Sullivan
unironically pic related
Michael Stewart
I'd download the demo if I hadn't already played the demos for this years ago.
Julian Turner
Grayson Brooks
>Disliked
>Symphony of War
Is that the old demo or the new one they just released? The previous demo was very lame, a combat demo basically, but I really liked the new one since you get to actually customize your squads.
Jackson Ortiz
Do you? I didn't see it. I thought it looked nice but it felt a bit too automated for my liking.
Aaron Thomas
>think Ixion's story is just some Elon Musk/"billionaires will save us from climate change with SPACE" dicksuckery
>that ending
Jose Gutierrez
what did you dislike about crowz?
Ayden Sanders
Bad online quality, really bad anti aliasing, and the gameplay just isn't that great. It seems a bit janky at times and it's obvious that it was designed around being a mediocre battle royale first and foremost, the other mode is secondary. The weapon balancing is also horrible and the squad system seems really really basic to the point it may as well not even exist.
William Ortiz
ty user
Luis Moore
How's the Daymare prequel demo?
Brandon Stewart
>play a game called Minigame Madness
>no multiplayer enabled for the demo
Okay.
Gabriel Howard
The intro missions in the demo were definitely very easy, but I really enjoyed the squad customization aspect.
Cameron Sanchez
Ixion was nice, it was like Frostpunk in space
Hellslave was ok
Michael Edwards
>Bad online quality
You should dislike the space thing then too, cuz I completely unable to play it, or even sit in the fucking menu without being disconnected, for two days straight now.
Nolan Scott
Any good /agdg/ demos?
Christopher Brooks
So far I've tried GigaBash, the WH40K ork game, and the Conan Hack and Slash game. I really liked GigaBash, and I didn't really either for the other two. If I have time I'd like to try out Card Shark.
Josiah Long
Autopsy Simulator was fun. Look forward to the full release.
Jace Rivera
>it was like Frostpunk in space
At first I was confused what you meant by that, then I remembered the simple choices.
Let's hope they become more meaningful in the full game. Not like they are very much in Frostpunk either, but hey.
Jack Nguyen
The issue with Boundary's online was the server disconnects, they've been fixed as far as I can tell. Crows online in general feels really laggy and low quality, and i come across a lot of stuttering when I play it. I haven't had that issue in the other game.
Isaac Nguyen
i'd recommend small saga
Andrew Campbell
I thought the presentation was great, but the combat was way too basic, at least as far as the demo is concerned.
Jonathan Barnes
there's so many building games
Brandon Sullivan
You WILL play Coromon.
You WILL have a forced Black Mom before you even make your character
You WILL laugh at our outdated memes
You WILL wear the Infinity Gauntlet
Levi Gray
I did play Coromon but I just don't know how I feel about playing Pokemon anymore
Henry Harris
Luis Smith
Breaking the fucking immersion so much. It feels like someones first RPG Maker game and thinking they are cool for having all these pop culture references.
If you want a real kino game, play Nine Noir Lives. I had a blast with that one.
