Does the developer of Demon realize that its biggest problem is feeling like a tactical RPG that was just shoved into a roguelike dungeon layout?

I really don't see what it can gain from going the roguelike route over just being a normal trpg.

Acshually, its biggest problem right now is that ally AI is buttfuck retarded and thoroughly enjoys suiciding in the most painful ways possible.

I just died to a pack of three chindi jumping and stunning (?) me before I could retreat. I suppose I could have tried to recruit one, but I think they want hp so it probably wouldn't have helped much.

I guess the real trick is to have a better meatshield out than the wisp.

>>119491171
Those games are all pretty shit imo. Was just kind of wondering if there were some diamonds in the rough I've missed over the years.

Are there any roguelikes coming up any of you guys are looking forward to? I remember Cogmind awhile back which I'm about to go look up, but I don't know of anything else coming out. I've been out of the scene for a bit.

Also is TomeNet any decent with friends? I'm used to Tome4.
>>
>>119491175
The wisp is a good meat shield, but it won't stop niggas from pouncing you. I wonder if support class enemies are as easy to pounce kill as support class players.
>>
>>119491724
>>119491175

Goblin godlike meat shield
>>
>>119490856
That might be worth experimenting with, but you'd probably have to run a tank PC or else you'd have your fighting demons suiciding themselves because lol fuck smart AI

>>119491175
wisps aren't always good meatshields because they tend to move around a lot with that ghost pierce attack which can leave you open. I personally like zombies, they have a good chunk of HP for their level and can take quite a few non-super effective hits. You could also use a mind matrix to fuse a malingee or slime's skillset onto it if you get really lucky.

speaking of matrixes, how do you guys fuse demons? do you double down with lifegivers on lifegivers, or do you branch out and make shit like fire/vile hybrids?

The genre is dead as a post because in their casualization of it, they take out what make these great.

If you haven't, Infra Arcana, Brogue, Sil, POWDER, Nethack 4, Dynahack are worth a go. If it fits your flavor, download one-way heroics plus then buy it if you liked it.

Apparently they knocked a floor off lair branches. So it wasn't awful, I was just unknowingly pulling a whole vault's worth of dudes. On the brightside, I finally used disaster area and that shit was pretty nuts.
>>
>>119490316

Quest of Dungeons and Sproggiwood are ok. I can't stand how they don't have diagonal movement tho.

Really good gateway games to the genre tho and can be a fun break from the hardcore stuff. I've been meaning to play Quest of Dungeons on max difficulty with the new necrodancer class.

I don't understand how someone can have difficulty with this choice and yet be smart enough to use a computer.

>>119493958
Use the rapier, it'll be a more reliable source of damage than the dagger. Elec is good, but you want it on something a little better than a dagger. +5 str is nothing to sniff at either.
>>
>>119493882
Crypt of the Necrodancer is fine for what it is.
I'm not a huge fan of rhythm games.

The characters inside the curly brackets indicate special advantages this weapon has over non-artifact weapons.
>>
>>119493958
i don't know shit but

i'm pretty the rapier outdamages the dagger by some. Electrocution gives 5.4(?) damage on average, but that isn't more than the rapier's higher base and enchantments.
>>
>>119495461
Much higher base damage, with an ok enchantment/brand. +5 str gives you some extra EV(depending on what you're wearing) and damage as well. So its damage output will be less spiky, and it'll punch through AC easier. If something has rElec, that dagger is utterly useless.

Also, what does a silver matrix do exactly?

Lets you fuse two demons, giving the fused demon a resistance, changing stats, and two new random moves

I'm taking a break for now, but that seems to be the plan. Hopefully V:4 isn't awful. I've run into Mara as well in Snake, so there aren't very many uniques that could spawn that totally bone me. You think I should switch to the glaive? My damage output seems to be on the low side, and I've had bad luck with enchant scrolls.

Okay, so. The basic strategy here is for the Wisp to kill everything for me while I just sit back and chill with the faerie and gandayah.
>>
>>119499645
Dunno, I haven't done a merfolk that used invo past 12 in ages and I don't know how you're setup. If you're hitting reliably at min delay and got some extra fighting, evasion It'd probably do better by virtue of straight up killing all the dudes instead of having to rely on vamp healing to get through.

I have no idea how to kill this guy. Luring away his summons doesn't work (they just get unsummoned at low hp). Probably having half my team not weak to fire would be helpful, but it's a little late for that now.

I could run away again, I guess. But I came here to kill things.

>>119500992
Ice dragon armor is kind of bad.
Always use scrolls of acquirement for weapons until you have a good one if you're a melee char not following Trog or Oka.
If I was playing this character I would be pretty sad about the lack of good weapons, jewelry and armor. Unlucky equipment set.
Try the glaive if you haven't.

Its been a rough go. 2 ego plates have spawned, no dragon hide drops. I wouldn't normally use a IDA but it spawned early and I haven't found anything better. Nothing usable above +2 as far as weapons. The glaive is +0. I may switch to the +2 halberd of pain.

Anyone else playing titan fist in Demon?
I'm only barely started to actually survive by tanking and dumping points into VIT.
Also good god I wish this game had a better demon commanding system.

Even just being able to tell these assholes to hold their ground or only use ranged or something would be a godsend.

Also tip for anyone else playing Demon
if you hold CTRL while moving with arrow keys it makes your demons prioritize following you over engaging the enemy (though if they're slower than you they may fall behind)
>>
>>119502485
For some reason, I thought it added a small but reasonable bonus onto each attack for enemies that couldn't resist. How embarrassing.
>>
>>119502628
Why not make a suggestion on the forums?

>>119502584
It moves at normal speed if that's what you mean
>>
>>119502890
because I'm not used to Devs listening to me and my ideas are bad aside from...well just port the ally commanding shit from Poschengband or just add a STOP MOVING button.

In the current game summoning just at the start of the battle or in the middle seems better then just jumping in with your party.

But I play a tank build with titan fist so I have no idea how it feels to be the one behind the demons.
at the end of the day I'm just trying to play it like I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne by picked titan fist+faerie every time and it's not exactly the best strategy to want to punch everyone in this game.
