Whiskey_chaser Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Surprised I couldn't find a thread for this... It's been out a while and i'd eyed it up on other platforms but ever pulled the trigger, but finally bought it on the Switch and it's superb. It's a rogue-like where you keep pushing further through a dungeon, unlocking new equipment that makes your life easier for the next run with the big twist being that all movement has to be timed to music and monsters also have their own movement pattern to the beat. The soundtrack's superb as well. It has that 'one more go' factor, and it never feels unfair. I'm still pretty shit at it, and have only made it to the third area so far but it's still throwing numerous surprises at me even in the first few stages, and I can feel myself improving the more I play. It seems the perfect fit for the Switch - a game you can pick up and play for five minutes or a good long session. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I own so many games on Steam that have subsequently been released on the Switch, I wish I owned them on the Switch instead. Off the top of my head - this, Stardew Valley, Axiom Verge, Rocket League, Darkest Dungeon, Yooka Laylee, I Am Setsuna, probably twice as many. But maybe it will give me an incentive to play them.

Whiskey_chaser Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I managed to clear the first floor of this last night and unlock a second character - Uncle Eli. Eli plays completely differently to Cadence and I love how the music changes with different characters. This game just keeps throwing surprises at you every time you play.

Rikzilla Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Picked this up for £1.49 on Switch this morning, played it got 2 minutes and turned it off. I am rubbish. I don't understand the combat at all. Will keep trying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Picked it up again and it clicked. Done two full runs of Zone 1 so unlocked Eli and killed Death Metal twice (what a great boss). Unlocked loads of items for the dungeon too. I didnt realise that I could attack normally with the default weapon, I thought I could only throw it. I didnt figure out I could just attack normally until after I'd defeated Death Metal for the first time ? This game is absolutely fantastic and I'll definitely be picking up Cadence of Hyrule afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Fucked if I can progress in Zone 2. Difficulty spike is savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah, I'm bad at it so I'm in two minds about CoH even though it does look easier. Or at least have a gentler increase in difficulty. I should give it another go. On paper I should love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'm gonna wait until I've finished this one before I pick up CoH just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I just spent half an hour on this. Seems cool, but I definitely want to get the hang of it before spending €25 on Cadence of Hyrule. I unlocked a few better items that appear in chests. One thing I don’t really like is the items that require two button inputs (like up-right or up-down). Seems so clumsy.

Rikzilla Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Played a bit more and I'm starting to get the hang of Zone 2. It's still kicking my ass but I'm beginning to work out enemy patterns and managed to get to the third floor on a couple of occasions so getting closer to the boss. Hopefully I'll have Zone 2 finished by the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikzilla Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I finished the first dungeon but made no progress at all in the second. It is really tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
