multi Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Fucking hell, I think I asked if Art of Rally didnt seem a bit difficult to control earlier in here, what with the perspective etc. But Christ, it's fucking amazing. Best rally game I've played since Dirt 2.0. The controls makes so much sense once you've gone through the menus and got them set up for yourself. Loving the shit out of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurryKitten Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I tried Art of Rally today, I'm not sure. It was ok, but a little meh. I did a few stages - I'll try a few more, but it didn't grab me. It's nicely presented and stuff, but the control scheme wasn't clicking with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I really want to love of Art of Rally but the handling is such that it's more punishing than enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Oh man, I think everyone just needs to find the right set up for it before it reveals itself. There's definitely a sweet spot there, it just takes a little time and experimentation to find it. I was expecting a nightmare of control options, but it turned out otherwise. @deerokus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Buffalos Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yeah, I realise that, it just baffles me because it doesn’t make any sense as a descriptor. Roguelite I can just avoid get on board with. I need that oldmanyellsatcloud gif I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve never played Dead Cells I would highly recommend it, similar tone to Hades but it’s a side-on 2D platform-hacker, and it’s excellent, IMO just as good as Hades, better in some ways.

It's first person and it's not actually a Roguelike but Warhammer Vermintide 2 (or whatever combination of words makes up its official title...) might tick some of the same boxes.

Apparently that Curse of The Dead Gods is a bit like Hades, I haven’t played it but it looks pretty good from what I’ve heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curse of the Dead Gods, and Children of Morta are the obvious choices, both top-down roguelike dungeon crawlers in a similar style. If you want to branch out a bit, Slay the Spire and Monster Train are roguelikes in a completely different genre (deckbuilders) and they are both amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobert Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I have only just started playing rogue likes with returnal being the first and now Hades. What I like in both is the razor Sharpe core mechanics which, presumably, are required if you are going to do the same/similar rooms over and over. Is Dead Cells equally as polished?

deerokus Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Curse of the Dead Gods is very Hadesesque. It's very good but not quite as good as Hades. Slay the Spire and Monster Train if you don't absolutely hate card games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlaccfood Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 If you’re currently enjoying Hades I would stick with that for now. Surely anything else is just time not playing Hades? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
