How did they get away with this?
How did they get away with this?
that's far from the worst thing they got away with, that game was a fucking ride.
When was the last time you became depressed at an ending of a game?
This fucking shit made me so fucking shook I didn't feel right for about a week.
This. Everything in the last 1/4 of the game is fucking insanity and threw me for a complete loop, absolutely loved it.
i'm not a weeb faggot, i don't get what im looking at
Potatoes
How did valve get away with this?
>100 dollars to shitpost everywhere
2012 was a horrible fucking year
That game was such a bummer for me. Wanted to like it more and all the threads devolved into /u/ tranny shit
>visiting threads instead of playing the game
want to know how i know you're retarded?
Nice gyno, fag.
I thought it was an addictive and fun game with amazing art. Really looking forward to the sequel. Just hope the story is fucked up and the game isn't as simple as just making a whole bunch of marginal mazes to put in support
>Getting triggered by Yuri
what game
I've only seen one that was actually funny and it was two people with names to make it dirty
I love this game for how it got away [being /u/ game that is so daring to put a big cuckoldry with a guy. the fact that he was the most decent human being in this whole game made it even more hilarious.]
goddamnit I'm fucking sleepy I fucked up spoilers
Before this battle, I went in the story with my farming brigades (read: no big dick Maginal Maze) equipped. Died, but surprisingly not very mad.
I hope I get the sequel before Nippon Ichi gets fucking bankrupted.
Man I really should finish this. I enjoyed my time with it but by the time I got to the third area my playthrough got buried under a ton of releases.
The fourth world is HUGE.
You go from under the well, the midget town to the forest, then the towers world which will take longer then the first 3 combined.
Wah, but it's super up-lifting. If you meant how Luca got dicked by the owl guy then yeah I can see it.
It starts off slow. It starts off very, very slow. But when it ramps up, holy shit does it ramp up.
I can see what they were going for, really. It presents itself like a standard dungeon crawler with your standard type of map. Then they introduce the wall breaking as if to tell you "this is not the shit you're used to", and you can just plow through that generic floor layout like it's nothing and turn the entire genre on its ass. Then later maps start getting designed with this mechanic in mind so you can't just bulldoze your way across it while bringing in all sorts of other shit and it kinda stabilizes until the last few areas where the story goes absolutely goddamn bonkers and pulls all sorts of crap on you that no reviewer would have ever let slide without raising all hell, and the only reason you don't hear about it is it's so late into the game they never got there.
So what is this crazy story you all keep talking about?
>spoilers
fuck you, Luca is pure
Just play it user, it's worth it
It's not something you can really tl;dr and the buildup and atmosphere are a huge part of it. There's a lot of little things going on, too, that combine into this glorious fucked up mess that legitimately hits Drakengard levels.
>tfw lost my save when trying to get the true ending
I may finish it some day.
Use it to advertise websites, I guarantee you'll get some clicks. Better yet, just make it something about killing niggers in non-standard font so on the off chance there's a filter for it, they can't stop it.
Mad Raptor class is so fucking useless in the late game it's fucking laughable.
kind of get the feeling it's just something edgy.
>her personalities and design are probably better than all of the entire main casts
>fucking died
I still mad
Is the game fun ?
Never really got into Disgaea back then, it there still a ton of grinding for this game ?
Looks interesting
What game?
Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk
It is a decent dungeon crawler game. You may get put off by how people might say it's edgy shit but at least it was well-executed in its own universe. The fun of it besides building party members is the build-up and picking up dropped foreshadowing here and there.
Way too edgy
Loved it. It's very enjoyable.
in Disgaea fashion, you don't grinding for the main game but for post game. Now combine autism if you are those people who strive for a big dick fuck you op parties and holy shit was it exhausting.
Fuck it's been so long. Those threads were a fun ride for a little while. Fuck I just realized I lost all my pictures from the threads when my hard drive died.
It's dark, but for the most part I don't remember it being edgy for the sake of being edgy. The MC is definitely an edgy cunt, but the other characters aren't. She literally kills her assistant's pet just to be a bitch.
I had a pretty strong raptor who could dodge almost anything, and the Crossbow Salvo was insanely broken. For me, Shinobushi were the shittiest, their only saving grace being the dual wield skill.
Yeah, I was hoping you'd be able to save her somehow, but nope.
you're fucking retarded, don't even bother.
It is mainly just edgy. The main character is pretty memorable, many think she's well-written but I think they're just dazzled by how she expresses literally every possible human emotion throughout the course of the game. It's not a narrative masterpiece or anything.
I still loved it, Dronya #1.
I feel like it's tended to be forgotten that Refrain is kinda set in middle age with real witches and supernatural shits. I think edge is inevitable.
Also
>Liking a cuck queen
ive been stuck for 2 days in the game, im in elm and i feel like ive finished the whole thing but i cant go any deeper cus i need a troll key or something, making me lose interest in the game.
It's just nice to have an MC who is an actually totally fucked up bitch and isn't even really an anti-hero. Her being a pathetic cuck and too much of a failure to make anyone happy just makes it better.
The antechamber is hidden in a dark room, you gotta break a wall to find it.
Funnily enough you don't need to fight the boss of Melm right away, but if you insist, you'll know you're near him if you enter an area full of prison cells.
idk I kind of got no use for raptor after I got demon reaper
Fun game, but the amount of tongues I had to grind to do post game stuff was retarded. I could never play the game a second time because of that.
Never played Hundred Knight, but apparently this is supposed to be that witch.
Yep, the writer is fucking great since the hundred knights. I'm actually hyped for the sequel because I want to know how much more fucked he can take since the new mc takes completely different turn from Dronya and Metallia.
I told you about RAID10, mate. Should've listened.
It is. She gets the black hair after she gets tortured by the inquisition for weeks pulled away from the thing that made her a witch in the first place and her friend/lover gets brutally murdered just before the apocalypse happens.
That game was a wild ride. Too bad the real final boss all along was the 200ms of input lag built into the fucking engine in a game that wants to be some sort of isometric Bayonetta. Almost gave up when you had to grind like 20 levels before you stopped getting one shot by random mobs in the end game.
I'm gonna spoon feed you just this once user
rrpg.jp
Demon reaper are strong, I agree. Also pretty hot.
are we even getting this now that NIS is almost dead?
I think she is, yeah. Never played Hundred Knight but from what I've read she is. That fight is fun.
is the switch version of this game okay?
I relied too much on Marginal Mazes and once I got to fight her I died so much so that I had to go making Aster knights and fucking grinding for 50+ hours in order to beat her.
But the pact she dropped is worth it. I got sick using 666 packs to grind.
>grinding for 50+ hours in order to beat her
tell me that's some post-game shit or I'm refunding my torrent right this minute
>Demon Reaper is hot
I have to politely disagree when there is a perfection right here.
>perfection
>has a dick
It's a post-game, and in the really late post game at that. She is also optional and doesn't count in achievements if you beat her or not so rest assured.
cheers
Thanks, I'll check it out
we can have them all user, they're all hot, there's no need to disagree
geez it's nuetral user get with the time
they are dolls anyway, can you even fuck them?
they absorb some of the mana in the dungeons and grow into human size while exploring iirc
Wew, released a year ago and they're asking 50 funbucks for a dungeon crawler?
A man of taste
If you were to infuse them with mana in the real world yes, you should be able to fuck them. Then again, our world must have pretty shitty mana for sure so we're out of luck.
What is this even suppose to be?
>15 member party
jesus christ
mah nigga
>that amount of abdomen fat
>no neck, upper torso or shoulder fat
That's not how it works harada.
Ain't this on PC? well then, you already know what you have to do.
they work in "squads" and you generally only give order to squads
>are we even getting this now that NIS is almost dead?
God I hope, I can't take anymore canceled promising game. They even failed making Gacha game, how is that even possible?
Gacha games need fertile-curvy grills to keep the players drooling in.
You tell me, how can manania wood dolls be this sexy and you can't even fuck them.
A big head. If I told you more it would be spoilers.
The people of Refrain is a complete asshole but the last section of the game redeemed them a little. However, I can't find it in me to be sympathize with this cunt what so ever.
A suffering
That is what Disgaea has the most of, I think they fucked up something about the summons and made people lose money or some shit I don't know.
I would love a NIS/A Gacha, I'd make the flattest team there can be, ultimately as incompetent as they are I don't want those retards to die.
>Metallia
It's Metallica.
I forgot her story. Something about her noble family losing status and wealth, so she ended up being a whore.
What is it?
Is it on PC?
They literally just fucked up the release and fixed the servers far too late, the game was outright unplayable, not just shit
They actually released a gacha game previous to that one that's a FEH clone with Asagi as the MC. It's a collab with another company but it's very rich in all things funny and cute, and flat chests are plentiful. It's still running and getting constant updates, too. Too bad it's gachashit, even the main story has pretty decent writing
Labyrinth of Refrain : Coven of Dusk
Yes, it is on PC
I want to kiss Lucas cunny
My bad, it's been a long time.
Here is cute witches to make up for it.
Ohhh i remember playing a demo of that on the switch, thought it was just an EO ripoff with some voice acting
I'll give it another shot
Is the game on Japanese? how is it called? I want to play Asagi's game.
It's just that her execute for being a cunt is so pale compare to other. Is not the fag acting mayor guy said that she is always a slut? It just that after lost everything she whored herself for money.
Go to bed, Neldo
Yes, it's 日本語オンリー
Makai Wars. There's no Coven or Witch100 units in the game, at least not last time I checked. It's still okay but you're better off playing real Disgaea games instead.
Thanks user.
Havent pirated in ages, I'm kinda out of the game and not going to use torrents like it's 2009. Gonna wait for a sale; still odd how expensive this is.
>15
It's 40, actually
How's the grind and class specs in this game? I completely fucked myself in Strangers of Sword City by respeccing my guys into their next class. Couldn't beat a mandatory boss to progress further into the game and the available grind spots at that point in the game were utter ass.
cute boy
on a scale of 1-10, how edgy is this game? i have a bad feeling that i'm going to see goblin slayer episode one type shit
Because those are moobs, man. That's legit a man with tits.
you don't really have skills and specs are 99% equips
basically you get this weird shit called covens that dictate the skills your party has available and you put your units there
it's kinda retard proof in a way but needs a big brain and tons of reading to actually make good parties, but it's not like sosc or any other drpg without stat point resets
How is that bad, have some fun
>robe is loosely draped over her body and not even that form-fitting
>except for a distinct navel indent
Has she been playing with her belly button haha
dumbass
is the game good
>Get to kill Metallia
Fucking sold. Alright, does it have custom portraits or no?
I think it is.
Based,only true chad classed allowed
It is literally a reverse Goblin Slayer in term of edge and story. While GS begins strong and end in disappointing note as if it forgot what originally draws audiences in, Refrain lures you in with the promise of incompetent, bitchy witch and her apprentice's wacky adventure and it consistently becomes something more.
So, Baba Yaga and him canonically had sex at one point right?
Forgot the pic
I really need to finish this game on PS4. Is it cheap yet or does it have the obscure NIS tax?
If I liked Labyrinth of Refrain, would you recommend Lapis Labyrinth?
Fuck Umbra tower, It's the most time-consuming map and I even already played post-game.
With making a shit combat system that Yea Forums still eat up?
Whats the best lewd dungeon crawler on steam?
I tried Sakura Dungeon but it looks and plays bad.
Mary Skelter: Nightmares
It's not that lewd, just lewd in Idea Factory's standard. It has interesting concepts; your party consist of fairy tale princesses. The dungeon is more interesting and have more things to do than Refrain but the job and building character system isn't that more complex. Boss and main game don't challenge you much until post game. Overall it's decent.
Also a reminder that Mary Skelter is also having a sequel under way. From what I heard, they will remake the first one with the second game engine and bundle them together so if anyone wanna try MS should wait a little.
>The dungeon is more interesting and have more things to do than Refrain
lol
please don't lie just to make people interested in your kusoge
the actual dungeon crawling is one of the worst things about mary skelter, every dungeon has long stretches of absolutely nothing and is even put down by terrible gimmicks that really do nothing except waste your time
if the dungeons were condensed and didn't have any shitty gimmicks straight up sticking to its basics, nightmares (for as stupidly designed they are from the core in a way to offer a difference from EO without really thinking deep about it) and dark zones it could've been at least decent
oh right and fix the combat and maybe balance skills next time not that they actually bothered with any of that for the sequel
god what a shit game
>not going to use torrents like it's 2009
I'm used to direct downloads mate, fuck torrents really.
I heard they shat the bed with MS2's story?
>If I liked Labyrinth of Refrain, would you recommend Lapis Labyrinth?
It is almost entirely different playing system tho so I can't tell it will be up to your liking. But in term of party member variety, I think it's also fun. The exploring aspect is also great, even tho it's a side scroller. Doesn't mention that it is real time and flashy so if you didn't dead set on it have to be turn-based, I think you might like it.
There aren't really any, at least from what I've seen. Certainly nothing like a Dungeon Travelers 2 or anything.
Mate, I understand you might have Vlad the fucking impaler for an ISP, but implying torrents are in any way outdated, unwieldy, or inferior compared to DDL is just being ridiculous. You don't like something, fucking say it. You don't have to prance around making a big act of how it means you've got a footlong dong that sprays money and it gets you all the bitches. Especially when you don't know dick about it. You're just embarrassing yourself, and I'm not into the whole cringe comedy shit. If you really can't help yourself then keep that shit private where I don't have to see it.
dt2-2 never ;_;
Different stroke for different folke, I guess. it's my opinion after all.
If people play it then, they can decide for themselves if it's kusoge or not. My shilling won't change their or your experiences.
With all that said, I still prefer Refrain.
Really? How so?
>No vita emulator
Ok thanks for input.
So what is best anime dungeon crawler on steam, it doesn't have to be lewd.
Redpill me on Dungeon Travelers 2, if it's good enough I might try to emulate it.
Rance VI, Dungeon of Regalias and Rewrite Harvest Festa
Isn't Rance got pulled from Steam? My only regret is I didn't quick enough to grab it.
>Isn't Rance got pulled from Steam? My only regret is I didn't quick enough
>Isn't Rance
Didn't.
>I didn't quick
Wasn't.
It's a "what if" story situation, in the end nothing changes.
>got to the very end
>can't beat the "final" boss with my party
Do I seriously need to grind for a few hours before I can finish this fucking game? is there any way to just cheese the systems to win?
There's one special coven just for the final boss that is very important and makes it a lot easier.
about how long is this game
I'm using it and still losing, somehow. Are raptors really as weak as the people in this thread are saying? Here's my current team.
about 50 hours to beat it, another 15 for post game and true ending.
How many dungeon are there? Got bored at the troll cave.
That's an unusually alive LoR thread. Have a bump, this one's on me.
I remember I was around some miniature people where my little dudes where giants and were wrekin shit and some rebel party hired me or some shit.
How far was I into the game? I forgot to keep my save file in an USB and I lost all my data (yeah I'm a pirate fag I deserve it blah blah blah.)
Raptors SUCK ASS. They're only good for a couple of their passives.
For the story boss you want a lvl 99 party. For the post-game boss you need soul clarity 25-30+ lvl 99 party.
As another user said, for the story boss you really need to use the special pact which weakens it by a fuckton. You just have to survive the first turn. Throw on a stack of defense reinforcement on everyone on the first turn, if you have trouble with that.
Also, learn to use the Fortresses if you haven't yet. They need to defend every turn to be able to actively "tank" enemy attacks.
Game looks neat but almost all of the negative reviews on steam are because of crashing issues. Anyone here experience anything like that?
>50 hours
nice, will give it a try
That's just the second dungeon, not far at all.
Yeah, you sometimes get a black screen randomly on PC and the game freezes. Happened to me like 2-3 times in 100+ hours. Some people experience it a bit more often, some don't at all.
I thought I took more screenshots than I did... I think this is the last one I took. I think that was my team setup before the last boss... but I did a fuck tonne of grinding to get the dolls ilvls or whatever it was called up after remaking them 3 or 4 times for skills.
I guess i'll get rid of my raptors for the mazes I have in support. Should I also sub out my shinobushis for reapers?
>fortresses in the rearguard
Is this a good decision? I was under the impression that their passive only activates if theyre in the front.
Is the PC port worth waiting for a sale on or should I just pirate the Switch version?
You want to stack mazes in support slots, because their passive that increases donum power affects the donum the active members cast, and it stacks.
Shinobushi are the late late game class, because they have really high weapon aptitudes compared to other melee classes. Also dual-wielding. But for melee you really want to spec them into critical gore, because they can't possibly compare with the mazes damage output. So you gotta roll the dice and hope for a crit gore on bosses.
Move Phalanx pact to the bottom, and just have them defend every turn. Also fill in the rest of the support, and replace love and valor with a second white rose if you can. Your levels seem fine for taking on the final main game boss.
I guess it's time to make a bunch of level 1 mazes to fill the slots. Might take me a while to name all of those whores though.
I honest don't remember the reasoning. I just remember that they need to be on the far right to make them worth while. Because each Fortress can only guard 3 times, and if they waste that on themself on the left, someone else is gonna get smeared.
Also change your formation to RVRVR or VRVRV since those are the best.
I fucking love this game, holy shit.
No, position has no effect on their passive activation. What does though is defending. It WON'T activate unless the Fortress is defending. Also they need to dual wield katars in order to up the interception chance. Counter-intuitively the shields are NOT for tanks, but to give your attackers in the off-hand to give them some blocking chance. Although in the late game they're all dual-wielding or using two handed weapons.
Donum Defense/Attack give really nice bonuses, BUT... I found (too late in the game, when I was fighting the secret boss), that juggling the party formation mid-combat can REALLY benefit you compared to higher damage output. Because some enemy attacks only target front or back rows, especially the powerful telegraphed attacks. If you can see one coming, you can avoid taking the damage almost entirely. But if you try to move all of your ovens out of the harm's way, then an attack will still gonna reach the first coven, even if it's on the safe row. So I just leave my fortresses to take the hit, since they can survive pretty much everything without a scratch. They were taking like 2-4 damage from attacks that were hitting for 10k+ on my other members.
Individually naming each doll and giving them backstories made this game maximum comfy.
Shit gameplay. Can someone spoil the good parts of the story?
Or do I miss anything at all by watching the cutscenes on jewtube?
If you don't like it then go shit up another thread, retard.
>Must like a game to talk about it
I was bored for hours but anons gush over the story all the time. Will never finish it anyway so might as well ask about what I missed.
how much yuri is in this?
okay i'll bite. What game is this?
The fuck bro.
Does this game have more fucked-up enemies like this?
Yes, most of them are.
There are some very strange ones. Some of the enemies eaten by the flies are pretty spoopy.
Within the first 2 hours of the game the MC is raped by another woman. No exaggeration.
>doesn't recognize nep at first glance
It will probably go on discount online eventually
But if you want physical it's pretty much random and based on how many other weebs are in your area and cherry picking game stores before you get there
Game is literally kick/rape a dog to death
>tfw can't stand overly grotesque discription or design
Luca might be the first localized loli with a good voice.
Well shit dude show me them then. I'm a sucker for weird fucked-up shit
:)
raptors are great if you tie their dodge skill with tank's attack intercept. i had 2 squads of dodge tanks, one defended and collected damage damage stacks from dodging, the other uses it's damage stacks.
it isn't optimal, but it's a pretty fun way to deal damage and make your tanks do more than just intercept
Level up great sage's pact a bit so you get more reinforcement to heal up later. Just kill the 4 purple enemies at the second dungeon's antechamber a few times, they are weak and give lots of pact xp. Also, using reinforce defence on the first turn helps.
100$ well spent.
Why would he? That series is absolute trash.
>Copy SQ
>somehow make the UI worse
>That series is absolute trash
Trash that gets hourly threads here. I never played a single Neptune game and yet I know all the goddamn characters, including that super-cute Compa girl.
I intentionally tune them out. I know what nep looks like but that's about it.
>liking overly edgy shit
Where is artbook scans?
Edgy is the best.
I want to get back in to this game but stopped after forest world. How do I manage the autism the best and not drop it again?
You have been visited by gamer vixen Laura.
This Laura is about to die (just like this thread).
Press 'B' to bump!
touhou is worse than anything and everything
Like ecchi shit, every now and then I like to enjoy some edgy shit. At that point, I'd rather get some overly edgy brand of edgy shit.
>he only sees edgy in a well written videogame which almost never happens
>edgeshit
>well written
>hasn't played it
>uses greentext anyway
Based retarded touhou faggot
What are you talking about? I have played it, but I stopped liking edgy stuff when I was over the age of 12.
Shock value is not good writing.
I think I got to the forest bit with fairies and caterpillar, before I fell off this game. How far in am I?
That's about 1/4 of the way through.
>474475626
fuck off retard.
that's the fourth dungeon, you still have a long way to go
all my dolls had lewd backstories, they were all sex slaves of my blonde Peer Fortress loli in their previous life kek
I think I dropped the game when they introduced the soul transfer mechanic or whatever and I got overwhelmed thinking about being suboptimal or something. Is there an easy way to plan things out?
I named all my male theatrical stars after josou seme artists.
Yeah, transfer at level 99 and focus on skills that are useful for each of your characters.
For instance, for a Peer Fortress you want the Stuborness, the skill that makes you lucky and the one that gives extra block from the Aster Knight. Marginal Mazes have one that boosts defense when you take damage, and so on.
Your damage dealers need the dual wield of Shinobushi (shields are worthless and won't save you against monsters that are actually worth a shit, such as bosses)
It's been awhile since I played. Do I want the character to start in the class I need to skill from? Not the class it will eventually end up as?
Yes. You want to start with the class you want skills from, there's not much benefit in starting with what you are ending as.
You can just get away with transferring into the same class to beat the story. Just know that purity = better growths. So a 30 purity character will have ~30% better stats than a purity 0 character. Also make all characters have even lucky numbers. You'll thank me later if you ever do post game.
I think that can save some time, yeah, but I never did that and got all the skills I wanted anyway. It took a little more time but I had some much fun playing and gathering items that it never bothered me. I picked their "main jobs" mostly based on looks. So in the end, it all depends on what is fun to you.
I think we can all agree that these were the best songs in the game.
youtube.com
youtube.com
youtube.com
Amadeus is fucking brilliant, I agree.
grown up Luca is FUCKING HOT
OK I'll give it another try.
Is there like a list of all the hidden and counterintuitive stuff? Like naming every character Lucky and making their number an even number near 50?
It's been a while since I played this game. I got stuck at the last boss because I just wasn't leveled enough I think. How many times do you have to ascend your guys or whatever?
i didnt know this was getting a sequel holy fucking shit im hyped
Are you against Baba-Velkuvrana? I don't think you need to grind that much.
Get all the Fog-resistant gear you can for the Great Sage pact (I recommend a Marginal Maze with a great DP pool) and pray they survive till you get to cast that weakening DONAMU and then proceed wreck her.
If it's the true final boss, well I can't remember, my party was strong enough to have a fair fight with no bullshit tricks in the middle
>naming every character Lucky
Don't do that, it's retarded
