This review contains spoilers

playing this as an antisocial little freak is sort of fun, mostly because the game simply is not set up for it. i killed shadowheart very early in the game and at the end of act 2 her corpse randomly teleported outside of a temple because the game wanted her to tell me off so bad. that chapter also culminated in a fight with a character who i'd killed approximately 15 hours previously (Isobel?), because the game was not ready for that. i told the angel lady not to come to my camp (i kept trying to kill her but it wouldnt let me so instead i was just as rude as possible) and the game kept giving me quests to do with her being at my camp.

anyway i see the craft of this game but it's not really for me. astarion is cool tho, he likes it when you're a little bastard. cool guy.

hardest shopkeeper in a roguelike but i found an infinite

she slay on my spire til i mega crit

the purpose of deckbuilders (and roguelikes in general) is to present an apparently insurmountable challenge and then to create combos & builds so obscenely broken that it becomes balanced again

once again i simply hate the little elf and do not care about his horrible little world, in fact i hope it gets destroyed

zangief mi amor... your iron body is invincible 😔

car-centric suburbs... the real horror

been looking for casual games i can play while listening to music recently, for brain reasons, and this really hits the spot

back on my bullshit, this time with the GMDX mod. really great additions to the base game across the board, in a way which feels more sensitive to the spirit of the original game than various other rebuilds i've seen - the focus always seems to be on QoL changes / small rebuilds that fix previously minor sections, as well as removing 'free' options. I would really recommend if you're going back to the game, it feels complimentary without being frustrating.

i love this game!

immediately picked the grappler (robot) and made a dozen people ragequit, perfect fighting game

downloaded a scale model of london and a mecha-godzilla so needless to say i had the time of my life
