[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 7 points 11 months ago (1 child) Cronos: The new Dawn, it has a great Dead Space feeling. I'm not far yet, but i like what i've seen so far. and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has hit 1.0, so if i'm looking for something to play without having to think that's my goto this week. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) ooh, DRG:Survivor has been on my wishlist for quite a bit. How does it fare against other survivors games? I keep hearing the early game unlocks a lot of stuff but at some point it grinds to a halt, dunno how true that is. Thoughts? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 3 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Progression is slower than other survivor games, but they have increased the pace and added a mechanic with gear drops, which smooths out the curve and actually makes builds possible. All in all it's one of the top survivor games i've played. I would place Vampire Survivors (because of the huge amount of content) and Halls of Torment (because i absolutely love the style) above it, but for me DRG:S is a solid 3rd place (and i've played quite a lot of bullet heavens) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 1 point 11 months ago* (1 child) I take there's permanent unlocks/stat improvements/etc? Is gear permanent or per run? Surely the dwarves don't enter the levels unprepared? :D To me Vampire Survivors started to get a bit obtuse with some unlock requirements (have skills x, y, z, survive this certain level this long, be at this exact place, possibly with a character C, have the hand towel on second hook.... etc). I'd assume DRG:S is a bit more straightforward? Have you perhaps played Soulstone Survivors - it's the one I've played the most, unlocked everything apart from some hidden/masked achivements? If you have, how does DRG compare? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Yes, there are meta upgrades; the gear is a parallel system to those upgrades. And yes, things are more straightforward; you always get a few unlocks that you are close to shown at the start of a run. I have Soulstone Survivors here, but didn't have time to try it out yet, so i can't say anything to compare the two. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) You are entirely responsible for me wasting this weekend grinding DRG:S. This one is pretty darn slick, thank you / [some degatory slur of your choice here] for giving me the push to get it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 points 11 months ago I'm glad we're both having a good time with that game. permalink fedilink source parent
