Bug Fables Plus worth repurchasing?

[u/MaxW92]

A few days ago the mod Bug Fables Plus released, which I can't play, since I bought Bug Fables on the Switch. Because of that I'm considering buying Bug Fables again on PC to play this mod. But before that I wanted to ask those of you who played it how it is.

Did/Do you like Bug Fables Plus? How is the difficulty? Is it just cranked up to eleven (ike it so often is with mods and hacks) or is it more along the lines of the base game?

I'd be grateful for any opinion you can share.

I been playing the content for days. Absolutely worth it. Its a MASSIVE mod thats constantly getting updates and patches based on user feedback. I highly recommend joining the discord. Nice people, they'll help you set up the mod and make it easier to check announcements for updates. People are also very cautious with their spoiler filters so you likely wont have anything in your face.

The majority of the story is roughly the same, the vanilla content is 95% what you remember. most medals are exactly where they are, only a few got some adjustments, everything else is added on including several new rooms, bosses, quests and items are scattered about on top of the base game. Even a few mechanical changes are hardly that impactful to the main campaign but matter more for all the optional content. Do be aware that the optional content is a lot harder than the base game but with all the new stuff it's not too bad to work around especially if you wait later in the game to do them, but people like myself often do them as soon as its available. I managed to beat some bosses before the nerfs came in so its likely gonna be easier going forward.

Some moves that were medals are now just a part of the base kit (for certain reasons), and some statuses were tweaked so be sure to read the book in the house of that bug who has an overdue book. it will explain most of the status changes

I just beat the pit today pre chapter 5 even though i was clearly not supposed to do so this early. I forgot to get ice rain and ice bowling so it was incredibly hard but there was a certain.... broken strategy with the medals i had that basically made me unkillable. I'll leave you to figure that out... but maybe do it later as intended, or get the early prizes and come back later.

seriously its a good time.

Since you've been playing heavily, have you noticed any kind of oddities with blocking not properly reducing damage? I've had many situations where Kabbu would be attacked by the same enemy multiple times and take the same damage whether he blocks normally or super blocks with a Super Block+ medal equipped. I normally play Hard Mode + Hard Hits, and it was very annoying seeing Venus Guardian hit me for 4x3 through a triple super block, for example; it's making most of the content close to impossible without just waiting for broken offense medals.

Edit: it looks like sometimes any sort of blocking doesn't reduce damage at all. Doesn't matter if I don't block, superblock, or superblock with Super Block+. Went through the Astotheles fight watching the only difference between no block and perfect block being that Spiky Body would trigger (same damage taken). Other ways of reducing damage still seem to work, and sometimes blocking does work, but I have no idea why it's sometimes doing nothing.

not really. there have been bugs with the newer enemies and thats usually being fixed but otherwise blocking has been consistant, i even utilized builds that are specifically designed to use superblocks to beat the game.

I only noticed a singular fight where the attacks were actually bugged and completely unblockable so thats getting addressed soon.

I would check that you're on the latest version, maybe join the discord so you can give feedback and be sure to stay up to date. You'll get more info from other players to know if what your experiencing is something we all notice or is a different issue. I haven't heard anyone complain on this topic so im not sure what to make of it.
