Quoting: pbLooking at the price hikes, buying it in 2018 and not playing till they release 1.0 might not have been a stupid idea after all. :whistle:

I bought it on 2015 and played just a bit because I didn't liked the initial GUI. One day I will play again as I love real roguelikes.

Quoting: LoudTechie

Quoting: xaviI want to use it as a computer to run a dotnet Linux application. I will buy for sure if:

• dotnet is working there


• screen is tactile


• device is not slow.

SteamDeck is too much for the application.

"dotnet is working there"
Depends on your dotnet version.
Everything above 7 doesn't work.

Need 7

Man, this is a gaming device for fun and the first post here is about some dotnets :huh:

Hello, yes! but I have an application that I want to run on a portable device and I still have not found the best solution.

Totally interested! I played a lot of Nethack in the past, and later DCSS, Tales of Maj'Eyal and Brogue.

Quoting: ShabbyXLost Ruins is a "must play" with native Linux support? How did I never hear of that?

Anyone played that? Any good?

I finished 3 times. Normal, assassin and the magpue? I do not remember the name off the class.

It is funny but you need to be very careful and go slow. Map is always the same. Bosses are nice. Sometimes is difficult to open a door and you use a lot expendables trying to open or you kill yourself.

Hollow knight is the best. The others depends on you. Rain World too much dying. Blasphemous too much religion. Bloodstained too much crafting (looses the speed play). Haiku nice and long. Lost Ruins replayable 3-4 times.

I finally bought it this weekend - supporting totally GOL ;)

I started with Rain World as I thought is the one who will be more different.

It is difficult, and when I say difficult I mean that you have to be ready to die a lot.
For me the platform or metroidvania games are quite easy. I did not die in almost half of Hollow Knight on the first run. But on Rain World all are Insta-kills, and you have to observe a lot the environment to see any hidden monster.
The problem is you do not have instruction at all and the controls are not easy to understand or learn. They are very complex and not intuitive, of course there is a wiki but I prefer to be able to play games looking only at the game.

Ok, so I accepted that my mission is more or less discover, find food, do not die and find a cover before the rain. I discovered how to know when is going to rain, and to go slow. But is kind of difficult to go slow when you have to travel big distances to find something that you do not understand, and you need to experiment, but someone will kill you before you have any idea on what are you going to do or what is doing that "object".

I'm starting to like it because I finally understood the symbols on top left related to the different runs and areas.
But then, arriving to a new area, monsters that were suspected to not fly, they fly. The fly to you, they insta-kill you.

Of course as you are kind of a kitten in a very dangerous world, developers try to make you feel very unprepared and scared for the situation, and they achieve it.

So if you are ready to go slow, think on survival, and learn from mistakes, have any object to throw to the monsters just to escape, ... Rain World could be a really good option.
If you want to just progress fast being powerful: Not.

I've seen there are many mods and most of them are for making it easier for starters, but I prefer to play the game without mods.

As improvements, a bit of music will be nice. Also a map that can be shown faster will be a good option as you have to check it a lot and it appears to you very slow, and also map have different layers...
