The main character Piper is about as "attractive" as fembots in that game get.

Grim Dawn is the best ARPG currently available.

not him but it's just okay. movement is lame and bosses are fairly simple but can be satisfying to exploit. exploration is barebones. environmental aesthetic was good though.all in all it was a 6/10

2012 ugh, fuck yeah

What similar games would you recommend instead?

>all this soul
I'm a bit disappointed barkley isn't in the top 5 there though.

You say that like you haven't fantasized about Chop Sue picking you apart, piece by piece, and gently yet firmly welding you into a super robotic monster. I mean, how could you not?

Go play Miasmata if you like exploration and mapping.
Comfy as fuck, and the monster roaming makes it a little comfier when you're in safe areas.

>finally 100% the game the other day
Now I'll drop it and never touch it again goddamn what a slog that game is.

Not that user but some games that I enjoyed were Hyper Light Drifter and Touhou Luna Nights

Looks interesting but a bit too vanilla. I'd rather explore strange and alien places than what appears to be a fairly standard jungle.

It's free on GOG.

I need an abandonware edition of this graphic. Also, play Noctis IV

I wonder what an updated version of this would look like

Fallout New Vegas is 10 bucks on Steam. Underrail is 15 bucks. OG XCOM is 5 bucks. These are base not on sale prices.

>there will never ever be a 3d game similar to Elona.
feels bad

Would there even be that much more worthwhile games? Lots of games that would have been freeware in the past are now commercial indies.

>old desktop dungeons
god tier taste

I see what you did there

Had fun playing Momodora, though it's not as good as Hollow Knight and it's difficult not to compare them.

Iconoclasts is great.

Loved Heist.

"freeware" doesn't really exist in the way it used to

Grim Dawn. The best arpg that doesn't rely on a trade economy and has mods. Its free to try right now too.

github is brimming with great freeware though. I guess freeware games aren't the same because tons of monetized shit is "free" so free doesn't really have the same meaning.

>Before the indie game explosion.
that happened around 2008

Yeah, it’s hard to go in blind though. Lots of unnecessary grinding.

Is the paid version worth the money?

any 2d metroid game, hollow knight, and guacamelee are all great games. rabi-ribi is alright but not excellent. I'm sure I know more but they aren't coming to mind right now, sorry

Dang, I already played all of those except rabi ribi because I don' like the visuals.

>The Desolate Hope isn't in the list
>Super Mario Wars is """indie"""

Ruined the list.

Attached: yeah OP is on the loose.jpg (234x216, 13K)

damn, sorry user. I can attest to that other guy's recommendation of Touhou Luna Nights though; that game's just damn cool

How's the character progression/customization? I'm not really a fan of how the game looks but I can stomach it.

>because I don' like the visuals.
Gay. Give it a chance anyway, it's got great gameplay and super intense bosses, probably the most difficult metroidvania out there.

I don't really care how hard a game is. I'd much rather play a relatively easy game with good visuals, gameplay and exploration rather than a difficult one with medicore visuals. gamplay and exploration.

all of them

thanks i buy some of these when i get money

weeb shit

What genres do you like OP?

Oh, so what you really mean is that all you care about is visuals and you don't care about gameplay, because everything I was talking about was purely gameplay oriented and you could've inferred at least decent exploration from the fact that I said a metroidvania had good gameplay as that is one of the core components of the genre. Well, you're in luck, games with nice pixel art and zero substance are a dime a dozen.

Not him but I like pretty much anything that's not turn based, puzzle or VN.

DARKWOOD

Is Blazing Beaks any good?

I think DOOM (2016) is like 15 bucks on every platform except switch right now. Play it if you haven't already

i finally got it on the humble sale currently even though horror games aren't really my thing, fucking loved it

>Executing robot pirates point blank
>Satisfying sound of a piece of shit robot being blasted to pieces
I fucking love this game. The Steamworld devs are the some of the best indie devs we have these days.

No all you said that it's hard and has good gameplay which is vague and subjective. And it's not even about the pixel art itself which is somewhat passable. It's the game being a visual mess overall especially with the awful UI. Also not a fan of the zoom level at all.

on sale right now?

give me good and fun indie games that also have great writing/stories

Degrees of Lewdity

pyre

Action, rpg

action as in shooting or melee combat?

>tfw opening it in notepad doesn't actually work

Like I said, multiple things can be inferred from those points, like how you should assume that good exploration is a given in a good metroidvania or that difficulty comes from thoughtful design and not bad, broken gameplay. I could go into more depth on what makes the game good, but ultimately it's mostly all subjective anyway so if you won't listen to "it's good" then I don't see why you would listen to a review.

Hypnospace Outlaw doesn't have much of a plot but the writing is pretty good and there are a few nice twists. The pacing is kind of fucked though. The gameplay isn't for everyone either.

It's got a free weekend right now, why not try it and find out for yourself?
Mind you I got it in a $12 bundle and still feel ripped off, but that's me.
A bunch of these have paid equivalents now, sadly. Cavestory, spelunky, Dwarf Fortress, DCSS, La Mulana, N, Yume Nikki all come to mind...

Also I fucking love Gang Garrison 2 and I'm glad Soldat is still on the list. Battle foe Wesnoth has just gotten better. Warsow I actually logged into and played the other day. I love how it says "new" on the image though. Dead as fuck like all arena shooters but I still managed to play 3 duels. Was fun. But I prefer Reflex nowadays.

It would have to have Zero K on it; pic related. If you ever played Supreme Commander and liked it, you'd love this.

It would probably also have Mechwarrior Living Legends on it...
(NOT mechwarrior online...lol)

This is quite true not even counting steam sales...
Technically.

There' a big difference between just saying something is good and explaining why its good.

>N
Don't lump that in with the rest. N+ was around long before that image was made and every version of N is its own game with unique levels and features. N was still getting updates well after the release of N+ too.

Is Steamworld Quest worth the price tag?

Fuck phones.

Thanks for the recommendation user.
I'll pick TLN up on sale

I played Dig 2 and it was amazing. Quest is a snorefest in comparison. Couldn't last 30 minutes. Not related to dig games in any way. Avoid.

Sure, but I'm not gonna start with an essay when you're not interested to begin with, and instead of just asking why it's good you decided to start arguing semantics, which to me only confirms that I was right in my initial assessment that you weren't going to hear me out either way.

Bayonetta
Crimzon Clover
Cuphead
Sonic Mania
Vanquish

The individual Steamworld games are literally named after their core gimmicks, what did you expect? It's not like Dig because it's not a Dig game. Do you normally like card based RPGs? Did you play/enjoy Heist for that matter?

I didn't expect it to be the same, but I did expect that I would like it the same way I liked Dig. I don't mind card games (Hearthstone/shadowverse/mabinogi) but in combination with walking on the map this seems too slow for me. Heist I couldn't get in either but maybe sometime in future I will try it again.

I mean I'll hear you out. I can't infer everything you like about it and it's strong point's from just "it's good"

I love a good metroidvania, but the fact that the game refuses to work with any other controller I own save the xbox 360's is a huge load of lazy bullshit.

>21 years old
I miss the stupid little games of that era. Turboraketti and various other cave shooters with subtle little differences. Triplane Turmoil. Minebombers. Tapan Kaikki 3.

And above all else, I miss having friends to play all this with.

With the exception of paying $10 for Shovel Knight, I can't remember the last time I paid more than $5 for a game. My backlog is out of control just from getting free games and buying bundles and other assorted classics/indies for $1 to $5. With more games than I'll have time to play before I'm dead, why would I spend more the price of a sandwich on fucking anything?

Give me indie games with cute waifus. Bonus points if monster girls

Zineth was a ton of fun.

No, this game really isn't worth it even for free. I have it on PS3 and it's terrible

I find the replayability is not great. Missions could use some diversity.

I know you niggers who really really like Lobotomy Corp are lurking in this thread. I want to ask you if you like its world more than SCP, and more importantly why? pre tranny takeover of course.

It takes a while to get used to.
Once you do get used to it, you can consistently avoid losing virginity without even having a chastity belt. All while being a tiny boylet who can't even beat up his peers in school without using pepper spray.

Oh don't get me wrong I have over 100 hours in that shit by now I know the ins and outs, but one small slip and some bad rng sets you from fine to leaking cum from all orifices and basically mind broken. I'm glad Willpower is a thing how to help fight off the uselessness of being a qt shota trap nigger but still sometimes you get a bad hand dealt to you.

Not really
If you don't do risky shit, you can keep the trauma below 50% at all times.
Steal, beat up+demand singles, mock doubleteaming rapists and you can keep control above 50% except for extreme cases.
I haven't been to asylum since hard mode got added. And hard mode means no +50% control daily from just being a slut.
