Brews & Bastards

feels like an auto shoot rogue like, introducing aiming feels un-necessary. camera feels clunky, enemies feel too mindless for the small amount of enemies you face. wins don't feel rewarding. visuals feel too hard to differentiate. death feels un-punishing. can't change character after you begin. no real feel for health, and when you take damage. movement feels off? nothing tells you how much things cost. no flow. its just fight/walk/fight/do some jumpy thing/fight/pick up some whatever/fight. this would be fine if the fighting felt rewarding, but it just dosnt. i feel no "reason" for fighting. this reason dosnt need to come from a story, but it does need to feel good. every enemy is stupid, and slow, (even if theyre dashing) and pretty much all of them die in one shot.(or this is just what it feels like) to be fair i only got through 3 of the depths before we called it quits. might get better, but that was insufferable. will be returning, overall just feels bad to play.

Absolutely RIPS. Notes of Gauntlet Legends, Diablo, and Trine. I've played both single player, and multiplayer through Steam remote-play, and its a reliably hectic, chaotic good time either way. Gameplay is immediate and fun, and there's a surprising amount of build depth with the combination of brews and artifacts. The stations where you can trade for new brews or artifacts are a good touch, letting you correct/salvage a build if you've been unlucky - or just switch it up mid-game. I believe in Oak supremacy

Really enjoying this so far - very nostalgic take and full of puns and clever ideas. Haven't managed to play co-op yet but that's next on the list, seems like it would be perfect for kicking back with a buddy over a beer (and having remote play means only one person needs to own the game, so worth buying even if you haven't convinced any friends yet). Good level of difficulty so far - some areas challenging but then a bit easier once I learn from my mistakes. Really looking forward to seeing more of this as I get the time to play.

I beat the beer pong knight man and so far I’m happy with that. If you’ve ever yearned for those XBL Arcade couch co-op games again, this is it. Still fun single player and stays in theme the whole time. Oh and plays perfectly on the steam deck, ofc

i'll drink to that, cheers

just beat it twice with my parter in coop great game even if a little short. mugg with as much range upgrades it peak
