    Game feels like a rogue-like with a weird mix between Animal Crossing and Happy Tree Friends

    Jesus this game is hard to put down! The gameplay loop is very moreish.

    Seems to run perfectly acceptably on Switch.

    Playing this on PC and loving it. Agree that it is hard to put down!

    Man, playing on Hard, I get why they want you to check out the different robes and maybe the Golden Fleece... but boy was I getting my butt kicked in the second area. The damage buff is definitely noticeable, but when you eventually slip up during a boss fight and get hit for that double damage, it really stings. Going back and using the default one and having better luck with it.

    I got the “no hit” achievement on Leshy.

    Pro tip, if you want to fight Leshy again you can break his statue and a teleporter will be on its spot, use it and you’ll go to the arena where Leshy is alive again.

    Yeah, I’m not sure I want any of these alternate robes!

    Go for the purple one. It's a LOT of bonus health.

    I'm liking the robe that gives you 4 tarots right off the bat. It's letting me speed through areas quite a bit faster.

    I snagged the PS5 version and have been playing it this weekend. This game is the perfect blend of cute and twisted, of charming and macabre. I basically love everything about it.

    It also reminds me a lot of the Christmas Critters from South Park. (“Hail Satan.”)

    The gameplay is also the perfect blend of roguelite dungeon crawler and slice of life city sim.

    Picked up this game up Friday night and basically inhaled it. I am poised to enter the gate to the presumed endgame. Definitely very charming, though not without its issues. Bumped into a bug where running any ritual was soft locking the game, fortunately doing a full reboot of the game cleared that one. Then later on I hit a different bug where the cooking station vanished, but was still considered to be placed. Luckily that one was also fixable with a reboot of the game, you can kind of limp along without rituals, but no food is no bueno.

    2 bishops down. The bosses are all a tad samey so far but the whole package is so great I can’t complain.

    What happened? Any issues I've found have been fixed by just restarting the game.

    I got pretty far in, beating the 3rd boss. But I think I'm gonna pause until a patch comes. I've run into what feels like all of the bugs: invisible enemies, followers not eating or farming, only 6 followers in the temple, etc. I really like the loop but there's just too much screwy right now.

  • SatanIsMyMotorSatanIsMyMotor Fuck Warren Ellis Registered User regular
    Adding my voice to the choir saying this is a great game with a shitload of bugs.
    Extra frustrating on your first go when it's unclear whether a bug is indeed a feature or not. Hard to keep track with all the various systems in the game.

    I think my biggest non-bug complaint about this is that there is no way to make a neat and organized garden unless you personally do all the planting. Seed bins aren't limited to an area or anything, so it's just an absolute free for all as your minions grab whichever seed and plant it wherever

    I beat The One Who Waits and chose Mercy, that will get you The One Who Waits as a follower, who will have a peculiar perk "Immortal" - Never grows old.

    What do you get if you chose to kill him? Google isnt helpful.

    I've also had invisible enemies, enemies outside of the edge of the playable map, Quests that autofailed, Quests that couldnt be completed "Do x to follower, cant choose follower from options" games locks up, game is stuck on some animation that never ends etc.

    I had a single follower who got up to an outrageous level, I think he got to level 28 before he died, I had also given him a necklace that lets him age to twice the normal, think he died at 100+ years.

    Is there an at a glance way in this to see what all of your cultists are doing?

    restarting did not help.

    the dungeons are locked behind black fog.

    i have a quest to perform any Ritual, but not enough lumber, and the one Ritual i know is on cooldown for another ~5 days??

    this is because i foolishly performed the bonfire ritual as soon as i could, instead of waiting until it became mandatory, and now i'm locked in town running out of resources and faith while my followers request things i can't do. it is not fun.

  • SatanIsMyMotorSatanIsMyMotor Fuck Warren Ellis Registered User regular
    That happened to me too but eventually the cult managed to gather enough wood/I just waited until the ritual cool downed. So it's not really a softlock but more of a softfuckIhavetowaitforeverforthisanditsstupid.

    I haven't encountered any big bugs I can think of but I will say that although I like the art very much, when you zoom in for whatever reason it gets very jank and sort of low-quality?

    The only bug I got was my cultists refused to farm. They’d do the other jobs but halfway through the game they just stopped and it didn’t register that there was any work to be done re: farming.

    That's the one bug I still get regularly. In my experience, leaving to the main menu and coming back is enough to sort it out.

    Also, I don't know what everyone is playing on, but at least on Steam, there have already been a few patches that fix some of the bugs mentioned above.

    Debating between grabbing this on PS5 or Switch, sounds like it runs a bit smoother on PS5 but being able to second screen it while my wife comfort-watches something we've seen before is a compelling argument.

    Blimey Bishop three is a bit of a step up. So many projectiles and enemies about that the Switch was suffering significant slow down. Kicked my ass down.

    Is the Hammer new? I've never seen it as a weapon before, but I just had the most busted run with it. Big ol' hammer and I got two attack speed cards in a row, so I am just a jackhammer ripping through everything in the stage.

  • Jam WarriorJam Warrior Registered User regular
    They’ve been there from the start. One of my problems with the third bishop was I kept ending up with a hammer when facing him and I was too slow to hit the jumping spiders that accompanied him.

    There is an update coming August 12th. Looks pretty cool. I'm just getting into the game though.
