Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Tell me what is the most recent game that you played that could be considered obscure to the average person. For me it would have to be cdda/cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead. This screenshot was made by me if you're wondering.

Check out Caves Of Qud. Is a super well developed rogue like(lite?), kinda feels like a crazy mix of dwarf fortress, dark souls, and morrowind.

Takes a bit to figure out what the heck is going on, what it wants from you, and how to stop dying brutally to the most simple things, but once you get your toes into it it feels like it has massive potential for exploration and story building.

It has some modes that are more forgiving, but dying in this game is weirdly satisfying in a way I can't describe, I'm not even usually interested in rogue lites but this one is amazing.

It will also run on a potato which is fantastic

My best run ended when I unphased while still passing a wall. I died and got an achievement for breaking the laws of physics lol

I played the game with the steam controller and loved it

Don't have my pc anymore. I really wish the game would come out on console

Hahaha that's a great achievement. No matter how my characters die I never feel mad about it or like it was unfair or unwarranted which is usually what puts me off of roguelike games.

Someone else mentioned they are putting out a 1.0 release pretty soon! Maybe they will shift from feature development to porting it to consoles, I would love to get it for the switch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah same I've laughed more often than not when I died

I haven't played for about a year now so probs a lot go new features too.

And yeha. Tangledeep works really well on switch so it would be great to add Qud to my collection
