IVAN thread.
Iter Vehemens ad Necem (IVAN) is a graphical roguelike game. The name is Latin for "Violent Road to Death"
Notoriously hard and unpredictable, you're forced to play smart or die.
Here's the game newfag: github.com
I'm currently on this run with
Navi the lawful human, lot's of potential, a most likely win!

Recap: Starting from a banana harvesting slave, we are contracted to deliver a message to a man named Petrus. He resides at a church for the god "Valpurus" the king of gods. After delivering this message to him, he agrees to send 10,000 bananas and ostriches somewhere else. From that, we become the champion of Valpurus, taking up his neon-green weapons as Petrus sends us off to stop a evil frog wizard named "Elpuri" or alternatively, we could find the stolen "Shirt of the Golden Eagle", making any who wear it immortal, problem with that one is nobody knows where it is.
Noah Peterson
Current: we are 3 levels deep into Elpuri's evil cave. I've personally never made it nearly this far so hopefully there aren't many more floors.
Luke Smith
This fucking worm right here was making my brain bleed, almost killing me little fuck, he is being gassed like a fuckin jew.
Aaron Barnes
Exploring the rest of the floor lead to nothing special, a scroll that let me upgrade my armor, acid rain wand, wand of mirroring, some boots of agility and a leather cloak, I found the stairs to the next floor so lets do it!
Christopher Torres
Immediately upon entering the next floor, I was assaulted by a vomit slime and a kamikaze dwarf skeleton, I killed them relatively easily. however, I keep hearing big explosions and something yelling "Ugh UGHAaaa!" and "Uga Ugar Ugade Ugat!" that has to be Elpuri... wish me luck.
Christopher Turner
As I get closer and closer to Elpuri, just his voice alone is enough to damage me, thankfully my helmet is quite good. Navi continues to Elpuri...
Oliver Diaz
monitoring, good luck op
Jordan Morgan
As the screams grow stronger, I pray to one of my favorite gods, Loricatus, god of machinery and weapons. In return, he turns my amazing sword into a fucking banana sword...
Julian Hughes
Thank you, I need it.
As a last ditch effort due to my only weapon no longer being of use, I pray to another god, Valpurus, King of the gods. He bonks me with a smol hammer and sends a deadly angel my way! In the ensuing fight I lost my fucking left leg...
Levi Garcia
For a quick fix, I take up the mithril sword that the angel was using, and I offer my most valuable things to Loricatus in an effort to please him. If he likes me enough he will replace my leg with a metal one! I also ate my old sword for memes
Cameron Howard
No luck with that... I found Elpurifuck can you tell??? this is probably death but this was a damn good run.
Hunter Ramirez
Rest in peace, Navi.
It was the greatest run I ever had. and to that one guy who asked me to use whips, I didn't find a single one until I already had my vomit green sword.
Christian Baker
Luke Rodriguez
Good try OP, you got further than i ever did.
James Edwards
A lot of my success was due to my metal arms granted by god. I was not prepared to protect against actual sound waves.
I will most likely do another thread tomorrow, hopefully we can win, probably not though!
Tomorrow I will play IVAN 3D!

this thread emanates schizo energy
Justin Butler
It was all me posting my run wasn't really talking to myself, just whoever is scrolling along.
Looking into it, IVAN 3D is nothing new.
I will play a seperate overhaul mod named LIVAN featuring many new materials, creatures and worlds. - IVAN schizo out
John Long
I might give it a try, depending on how fair or bullshit the game is i might also stick along.
Hudson Cook
>worst rougelike that ever was
play something good instead like dcss or cataclysm
Nolan Gonzalez
The game is pretty Bullshit, that was the closest I've ever gotten to winning. It's tough as nails UNLESS you have the right tools. If you have the right tools, you can also break the game via cloning.
Try some of the fork variants of the game they add new items, materials, places, quests etc.
Cataclysm is fucking great too, DDA is my favorite!
Oliver Bell
If its the type of bullshit that you have no one but yourself to blame thats allright.
If its the bullshit just to be there type of bullshit then I'll move along.
Nolan Young
Sometimes luck just doesn't go your way that happens.
90% of the time however, you are definitely given the necessary tools to win, It's often down to playing smart. Example: You are fighting a very strong enemy, you could set traps, fire, acid, mustard gas, companions can help you fight, put them to sleep, teleport them away, transmute their flesh into something softer, pray to a god to hopefully help you etc. the amount of options you have is astounding. Fighting strong enemies head on is sure to get you killed, especially if you're outnumbered.
The game is notoriously hard though so if you play, don't play to win. Play to have FUN.

I'd also recommend if you do play, take a glance at the wiki, especially if you have no idea what a mechanic does. attnam.com
