Predictably enough, the expedition team consists of a variety of types, including a beautiful doctor, a dashing guide and his mystical daughter Nadia, an egotistical anthropologist, a sinister Indian aide, and a number of expendable supernumeraries. Alex’s mother’s struggle with cancer has forced him into the care of his grandmother, a writer for International Geographic magazine, which has mounted an expedition into the heart of the rainforest to observe the strange monsters known only as the Beasts. I kept forgetting that strong shot was even an option since my brain split the controller into 'movement side' on the left, since that's where dodge is, and damage side on the right.Īnyway I think y'all have come up with some really smart iterations on these systems and the contextual music stuff is obviously very sophisticated, so great job and looking forward to seeing how this all turns out.A moody American teen finds himself up the Amazon without a paddle in this aimlessly meandering and cliché-ridden fantasy. I would prefer to have strong shot on RB/R1 instead of LB/L1, so that both of my attack abilities are on my right hand, or more specifically, the same hand, rather than split across the controller. I got the hang of it eventually but it seems like that guy either needs to fire later, or needs less HP to make up for how tricky the timing is (this is with full points in firepower, for context). The star-shaped guy with the shield always feels like it's firing early, since the swell that warns you it's about to fire hasn't finished all the way when the shot goes off. The last boss feels really well structured and like a totally unique encounter, but that mid-boss is just total chaos and I had a way harder time dealing with it. That mid boss is way harder than the final boss, IMO. I have three real bits of feedback from the demo, which I finished a full loop of: Giving the player access to a little bit more data about the upcoming levels than Slay the Spire does adds a lot of strategic depth, and allows for mods that play off that knowledge, which is really cool.

Hey this is already really smart and really clever, I'm super on-board with what y'all are doing here and excited to see how this plays out.
