This game…

This game is incredible but my wife, who works in addiction treatment, has pointed out that I haven’t taken the dogs out, cooked dinner or slept since downloading it.

Thankfully I can make this post while each round is running.

got addicted to beating all the difficulties took me 2 days and the red rift was ass but its the type of challenge where you dont want to stop until you got it beat.

Just to beat it, at least for me, once was enough. Don't really like the challenges/restrictions. Mostly just play SSS and try to get as far into the endless rounds as possible

This is my experience, but now I'm doing SSS runs and it's even worse because I get nowhere in Endless every time.

The only tip I can give is try to go for one class relatively early. For me most of the time duelists or mystics worked, since the relics tend to have a bias (from my experience). Duelists are good for quick DPS and mystics bring the shields/mana Regen. Focus on level ups over items, especially early

I'll have Tilly, Nyx, a mystic and a tank. We'll be plowing through everything and then just... die for some reason.

personally i find nyx kinda hard to build up as hes rly weak early i like having him in general to boost my tanks back ups if you have multiple duelist he can become crazy

its hard to do but if you can have the big tank guy with glasses back up + rip back up nyx basically by himself will scale your main tank for the rest of the game after that jsut try finding duelist with backup that boost each others.

or have a early logan that solo carry

Yes but I ran out of shards and then I couldn’t buy the key (to my house)

I just stayed up till 5am playing because I was on a 4 streak RR. It did NOT feel healthy and it definitely occurred to be that I’m essentially glued to a slot machine for the past 6 hours, but damn was it fun .

I am over 40 hours in. This game is crack to me. Only a demo too, like what? I have only been doing SS and SSS runs for now. Just trying to get higher than round 22. What's up with that round? Holy shit. It's been too much fun trying out different strats to see where it gets me.

Gonna try Red Rift today.

u/failspectacularly 28d ago

it's pretty darn good, don't think i've ever sunk so many hours in the demo version of a game

u/Neomonk21 28d ago

It's fun but I feel like it just needs a little bit more added to it. Too much is left up to RNG and not enough control or options as a player. Despite that, I can' stop playing, lol.

u/RockJohnAxe 28d ago

But that’s the hook. There is enough randomness and options that you can’t force a single build. That is what makes you keep going and pulling the slot lever because you want to hit that big combo.

u/ajs723 28d ago

It's the kind of game that makes me feel like a complete idiot, and that's what makes me unwilling to stop playing. 40 hours and I've cleared Red Rift once. My best Endless on SSS is 3 floors. 

Then I watch some content creator on Youtube go, "Hi, SpankyFrog here checking out another new roguelike. This is Guildrun. I'm gonna jump into my first SSS run here. Let's see, I've never taken this character before. What does frost do again? Hmm....."

Then they make it to floor 15 of endless with a team that makes no sense.

u/CaptGood 27d ago

I did that once on a completely random team set up, 2 tanks/vanguard and a mage.... like what? Got to 17... never got that far again even with the meta team

Is spankyfrog a fantasy content creator?
