I’m the same way. I’ll try and stack up damage and then just rush the boss. Never goes well. I love poison though because when I finally decide to pull back there’s a flow of damage that keeps going

I was considering 100%ing it, at least as far as Steam Achievements are concerned. I find they're a good metric to measure whether you've explored all the interesting sides of a game, at least when they're done right. I saw though the DLC achievements are bundled in with the main game. It's trivial but it has kind of put me off 100%, at least until i get the DLC that is

I picked up a steam deck just before the holidays and this was one of the first few games i played on it and across 4-5 weeks i put nearly 50 hours into it. It's so fun/addicting i couldn't put it down.

One of the best parts, for me, is under accessibility settings you can turn off damage and magic drain making you immortal wth endless magic in the combat side of things. As someone who isn't the biggest rogue-like fan this was perfect. As couple stress free dives for resources and advancing the story then right back to my silly little farm for hours.

It may have been a colloquial thing my teacher used, but with Rule of Thirds it's basically where the grid lines intersect, at least, if i understood right. A bit embarrassing but i was out of it for that class due to how early it is

I'd also like to know lol, all I think of is the Microsoft presentation software

I'm not into photography so I could be mistaken. But from what I've gathered, power points are the four points where the lines intersect in the rule of thirds (or the four corners of the middle box). Supposedly the eye is drawn to these four points of an image.

Thank you! I've been enjoying it a lot. i've been struggling a bit with ethics after some followers have been asking for various things. One wanted me to sacrifice another follower, which i turned down, another asked me to sacrifice them, which i also turned down.

Then there was a dissenter which wanted to leave. The game told me my only option was to talk them out of it, put them in prison, or let them go. I chose to let them go and the asshole stole some of my gold which i'm not too pleased about. So far though i've kept a pretty clean moral slate (outside the bowl of shit)

Growing up Gen X in the midst of the Satanic Panic, this game potentially becomes everything we were warned the world would become if you listened to rock music lol.

That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.

Fuck that. I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was "let's see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult".

Not that close, I found out.

Or at least, a very tame version of it.

That's basically how i'd summarize it. I like the Combat, it's far easier than Hades though, as it feels far less focused on repeat loops. I have died maybe a total of twice, and i'm someone that doesn't really touch Roguelikes

Combat is fun and similar to Hades but not quite as deep. That said the community management aspect is a big part of the game so if you're not into that you might struggle, there's a lot of deciding what to build / talking to your cult.

It's a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it's not deep on either front.

The combat and rogue elements don't come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.

The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.

It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn't take long for you to have "seen it all".

Mind you, this doesn't mean the game isn't fun. But it's very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.
