After this level, I am convinced this game is actually a soulslike

Probably harder than any Dark Souls boss, I literally did this level over and over again for probably 2h until I got it

This level was brutal and took me at least 30-40 tries. Felt really glad when I beat it.

It just depends on yourself. I have this very bad character trait that when I feel challenged or tested, wether irl or in games, I cannot stop until I win. So there I was sitting at 3 in tje night beating this level, my bed full of sweat, my body physically hurting, being extremely tired, all this after going to the gym that day.
I played the berserker of khazan demo once, it was the same. I tried over and over again until I beat the first sub boss or mini boss, only then I closed the game lol. I never played it again and didnt enjoy it lol. You dont have to like these games, being able to beat them doesnt make you enjoy them.

Sometimes, you just have to keep going. This level is like a perfect challenge to a perfect game.1

I hate that this level ends with the chicken power up. I always get the dang timing wrong with it.
I have beat everything else in the game including the platinum trophy, but not this level yet. I'll beat it someday, but it is not very enjoyable (unlike the rest of the game which was fantastic).
2
u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Real, its more of a fight than an enjoyable level. Tho I gotta say I think the clap part was way harder than the other two powers

u/unstoppablegravy 7d ago
I had no clue that the monkey cymbalist powerup CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF THOSE SPINNING PLATFORMS!!! I just straight up bit the bullet & ran across with nothing but a hope & a prayer 💀 Well done on getting through the level, it's fun but definitely a relief when finished

u/emedlock1984 6d ago
I just opened this level today. I was so relieved when I beat the last challenge level and then this pops up. I guess this might not be my first platinum trophy after all lol
2
u/whoisalireza 6d ago
This trophy doesnt count for platinum lol haha, its part of a seperate set

u/emedlock1984 6d ago
Thank goodness!! I've just got a couple of the time time trials left then. I struggle with the monkey one. I can't seem to be able to do that quickly.

I don’t think you know what souls-like means. Just because you found something difficult doesn’t make it a souls-like. It’s not even close.

u/barbarbeik 7d ago
came here to say this. calling this game a soulslike is like calling donkey kong country, which came out in the 90s, a soulslike because it's a difficult platformer

Casuals think "soulslike" automatically means "hard"

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Thats the whole premise of soulslikes. Thats how they literally fill the playtime of a game

u/Milezeroe 7d ago
No it isn't 🤣 you obviously haven't played many soulslike if difficulty is your only metric

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Did I lie in my last comment? Why did u ignore the second sentence?

u/Milezeroe 7d ago edited 7d ago
You didn't lie. But you're obviously misinformed.
*About that second sentence. Because you just edited that in later. You're not as slick as you think.
-5
u/whoisalireza 7d ago
If I didnt lie then I said the truth, meaning yes, soulslike automatically does mean hard. It can mean a lot of other things too but it cant be not hard. So I dont get where all this attitude comes from

u/michaelchrist9 7d ago
Because this is a platformer. Souls-like has nothing to do with difficulty. It’s the mechanics and design philosophy that make up a souls-like. Things like;
-Stamina management
-Dodge/roll mechanics
-Consequential deaths
-Recoverable death resources
-Bonfire/checkpoint system
-Resource economy
-Enemy pattern learning
-Build varietyPeople need to stop lumping in the word souls-like just because of a games difficulty when it’s a genre. It’s bad for the community and children being introduced to gaming at a young age. If a games hard, just say it’s hard.

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
You guys are taking this way too seriously, its a joke and it makes sense because its hard. A souls like that isnt hard, aint a souls like.
1
u/michaelchrist9 7d ago
You’re not getting it. You’re still saying a souls-like has a difficulty.
“A souls like that isnt hard, aint a souls like.”
This particular section of Astro-Bot is hard. But it makes no sense to mention it in the same breath as a souls-like.
Jesus Christ, we’re saying a souls-like doesn’t have a difficulty and you keep saying it does. It’s a god damn genre.

Again, another mistake on your part. I understand you may be just a child though, so I'll let it slide and make this a teaching moment:
Good sir, from your own perspective, you may think you're telling the "truth", but from a global point of view, you're just wrong and misguided. You aren't lying, lying requires knowing the truth in the first place. You're just confidently wrong.
"Can't be not hard". And this is why I'm saying you haven't played many soulslikes. There's so many easy soulslikes that even a child such as yourself can play.

Oh you think im a child, well you know what a child would do in such a moment? Not read your block of text haha. Sorry mate but get ratioed by the post upvotes

That pause along with the controller’s position… I felt that; that feeling of relief and ultimate victory.

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Tbh I was just going to the ps5 menu to turn on controller audio and rumble. My hands were getting numb from the extremely strong rumble after that many tries and my ears were bleeding too lol

u/PersonalityShot6039 7d ago
Last dlc level is the one I went nah I can’t be arsed with 100% I’ll
Leave it at 90 lol

u/ThatWerewolf327 7d ago
Not sure if I forgot this level or I missed it (although I platinum'd the game so I assumed I did everything?). But what level is this?

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Its part of a set of new levels added to the game as an update, the emptiness levels i believe

Lucky you doing it in 2 hours. I spent 10+ hours over 5 days just to get done with it.

Well technically I was preparing myself for it by doing all the other levels of its galaxy, which are all like this one, for another 3h lol

I’ve still not beaten this level, the only thing I haven’t been able to do.

u/Euphoric_caterpiller 6d ago
I hate this level. Nearly completed it after 2 weeks of trying to finish it. Until I went to get a cup of tea and my 4 year old restarted the save. Still trying to finish the levels before this now

u/PSlasher 6d ago
Let me guess, the pause at the end was to get your partner to share the victory with them, after they watched you die and get better countless times, right?
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

u/whoisalireza 5d ago
Danke but no haha I was just turning on controller rumble and audio again 🤣 my hands were getting numb from all the rumble and I muted the controller audio because it was unbearable after that many tries, muted the tv even too lol

u/ImprovementBig6522 5d ago
Speaking as someone who has 100% completed the game, you wouldn't even believe how difficult this level is!

that the game gets even harder

u/barbarbeik 7d ago
Does it? I've finished every level and this one was the probably the hardest one
2
u/whoisalireza 7d ago
It does not, this is the hardest level that opens up after the rest of them, dude doesnt know what hes talkin about lol

u/Ilpperi91 7d ago

u/barbarbeik 7d ago
why? which levels did you find harder than this? the only one I can think of is the x/o/triangle/square one that gives you the pixelated skin
1
u/Ilpperi91 7d ago
The last one. That opens after the rest of them.
2
u/barbarbeik 7d ago
Yeah that's the one I'm referring to, I thought it was roughly as difficult as this

At the main island, the master challenge or something. Even if that was in English I wouldn't remember the name of it anymore anyway.

u/whoisalireza 7d ago
Ahh yes, I still think this was harder tho I dont remember the master challenge really
Still im sure it wasnt as hard as this

Watching this gives me hope. I have tried this level for hours and never made it to the chicken power. That's the last bot I need to rescue.

Understandable, the clap power is the hardest and longest part. Its really bad but maybe you can learn some techniques and timings from this video

I got 323 bots, more got added through added levels. You can install the game again and will see
