    Hyper Light Drifter

    http://www.heart-machine.com/

    If all goes well, it's fit to drop 3/31. I'm immensely excited for this game, everything about it from the graphics to the atmosphere and the punishing difficulty appeals to me.


    EDIT:
    Okay, got it. Boy, is that opening cinematic a thing of gorgeous, pixelated beauty.



    Please disregard the godawful video title.

    I figured this game would be ambient, but there's nothing but ambiance here. Definitely one of those titles to waste hours straight with a pair of noise-cancelling headphones on. Letting your imagination flow, the atmosphere taking hold of you.

    ...doing everything you can to forget that you don't have anymore health packs and that you're screwed front-back-sideways. Not sure if I'm bad at this or just unused to it, but this is the sort of situation I'm currently in.

    Being able to name your Drifter also ups the immersion factor.

    These loading times are a bitch. Though that's probably just because my laptop's a potato.

    Beat my first boss!

    Okay, miniboss-cum-enemy wave, but still, it was a milestone leading to my second warp point being acquired. Good stuff, very satisfying.

    46 times.

    46 times I died in that stupid underground arena in the swamp.

    46 times of two exploder cabbages, four roller plants, and five riflemen pulping my body into pixel gore again and again.

    But damn, if it isn't satisfying seeing your Drifter triumphantly stick their blade into the ground when there are no more enemies to kill.

    I wanna get this. When my PC gets back, and I get another injection of disposable income, and after I've made my thirty second DS3 character, maybe.

    I got all four pieces in the northern mountains and beat the boss but the house door up there still won't open

    Nier Souls is a game of infinite mystery

    Frog is dead, now to brave the rest of the frozen north.

    In all likelihood, though, I'm gonna trawl the west for more golden chips so I can get a dash upgrade.

    Beat birdman up north (took me like 20 goddamn minutes), got all the corner shard things, my 4 shard thing door also won't open.

    well, guess I'll try the swamp next.

    What were your guys's first upgrades? I got the dash that gives me invincibility frames (but apparently only a few at the beginning?) and the sword that knocks back projectiles.
    Code:
    [07:55:59] <Spinach> Take off your clothes Kirby
    [07:56:07] <Kirby> I'm in class
    
    [20:37:34] <Lian|phone> there is a such thing as lingerie for guys?
    [20:37:54] <Kyokushi> yea
    [20:37:57] <Kyokushi> they're called jockstraps
    [20:38:02] <Lian|phone> :o
    [20:38:07] * Lian|phone googles
    [20:38:10] <Kyokushi> NO
    [20:38:11] <Kyokushi> DON'T
    [20:40:07] <Lian|phone> okay
    [20:40:16] <Lian|phone> I don't think I should have googled that
    
    [12:59:30]  <Spinach> call me onii-chan, bitch
    [13:00:12]  <kroyo> imma fuck ur shit up onii-fam

    There's no iframes, also there's 8 pieces per zone apparently, that's an 8 piece door.

    Doesn't that 2nd dash upgrade give you iframes? Or is it just against projectiles. The demo video sure made it seem like you could dash through bullets

    THERE'S A SOCCER MINIGAME

    It's as fun and as hard as the rest of the game. Arguably moreso, because your opponent likes to trip you.

    Spoiler:
    So, huh, it's literally impossible to beat the final boss unless you deal the final blow with the sword. I'm not sure if that's poetic, or a bug, but either way, it enhanced the experience, me having to kill the final boss repeatedly until it stuck.
