A post about a dead game (feddit.it)

I had played for many years a great game called Hades Star. It was available on steam and on Android.

Amazing game, I loved the pace, the PvP (white stars, 5v5 up to 15v15 clan wars) and most specially the collaborative pve (red stars).

It had a unique feeling and, while the grind was real (delivering cargo, yuk) it was manageable to a level where you was trying to compete with other players to who was more good at it.

Then the idiot Dev decided to kill it for an "upgrade" called Dark Nebula: gameplay changed a lot, old players where forced to the new game, but feeling was totally different.

Player base dropped quickly, corporations (clans) went empty and collapsed, general gameplay was not fun anymore.

The Dev ignored most complaints and warning from users to achieve "his" view of the game.

The game is now dead to me.

Anybody played it? What did you guys moved to?

Dead Cells is technically on Android, and a great game, but you'd need a controller to really enjoy it.

I absolutely recommend Slay the Spire. It's a deck-building game ported from pc/console, a very good game, and the port is decent. I have over 300 hours in it, still play it often. It's a hard game, especially at higher difficulty levels it really requires you to make good decisions everywhere. Choosing your path, building the deck and playing the cards all feel engaging. The vast variety of synergies and anti-synergies also ensures that each play feel different and interesting. There's also a board game, also very good, although that probably also falls into your blind spot a little, more people playing often add to the complexity.

I've recently got Dicey Dungeons, also on android, light game, not a lot of replay value, but the campaign is pretty fun and interesting so far, so I think the price to play time ratio is still pretty decent.

Slay the spire seems landscape only, no go for me (yeah I am picky).

Is it?

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, probably because it's a port. I mostly find games through pc/console...

Come to think of it, ever played reigns? It's a roguelike series, the games have similar game mechanics but different settings. They can be played easily with one hand because you make decisions by swiping cards left or right, and at least the one game that i played had pretty interesting story.

Thanks, will try reigns!

It's been so long that I'd forgotten the name of the game, turns out I got it confused with a game with extremely similar mechanics, only realised today when I found the sequel to the game I played. The game that I've played and loved is called Lapse. It's free on Google Play store.
