Quick Look: A Valley Without Wind

Brad said it best with "This game is great, I don't know if I like it, but it's great". They threw everything and the kitchen sink into the game, except any fun. The fighting and platforming is just horrible, and all the loot/upgrade trees in the world doesn't make up for that.

A valley without wind...or wind without a valley? Yeah, think about it.

EDIT: Well, worth a try. Also, really? "Interesting"?

You mad? Next time don't try and be the first comment with a full sentence. You'll never get it that way.

Or Ctrl-C Ctrl-V a sentence.

For the record, I had my sentence prepared. Also, I wasn't mad at the first comment, I was just under the impression comments like that, or "first", were against the rules or something like that.

Literally the word "First" is is against the rules, you're right. But that's about it. I think other words are okay..

Right-o, thanks for letting me know. I think content-wise I might just stick to Ctrl+C/V-ing my attempts for that sacred first post though. :P

I got it with a full sentence when I got it.

Guess that's why I'm so Infamous.

hmm might pick this up when im done with diablo

What's up with Vinny's voice in this video?

Weird audio quality, but I'm digging the music in this.

I always like new approached to the roguelike arena that aren't as top-down turn-based (Despite that being pretty integral to the roguelike structure). Would love to try out this game beyond the demo but at $15 I can wait for a steam sale.

I usually don't care too much about visuals but this game's art style is so aggressively shit.

The game is so weird. It's entertaining on many levels, but not what you'd... expect to be entertained by? It's... Not a promise that ANYONE will like it, but it'll definitely hold your interest for a while if for no other reason than how bizarre it is.

@Ravelle: According to the forums Dave and Alexis are working on it. Aparrently the Gamespot player, which this is a version of, didn't have anti-aliasing or something. But Alexis has said they are working on getting it acutual HD!

This game looks worst than what i made in the toilet this morning.

This game looks pretty cool, and love that clicking noise. Might buy this at some point.

Looks like some artists used too much Topaz Vivactiy

This game has the best names for things.

Well... Dark Souls isn't entirely wrong, at least thematically. Death is permanent, and your dead characters can come back as ghosts that you have to fight. There are a bunch of different mission types that get you better upgrades and more npc's that he missed. Doing the missions also raises the tier level for the continent, which can be good and bad. He also skipped over reading about how the map works. They tell you to *not bother* exploring every room in a game that is nearly infinite in size. The rooms with loot are clearly marked, and you're supposed to go right to them, and then leave. The game is not for everyone. It's a loose, procedurally generated metroid style platformer. If you don't like the idea of having no set in stone style of progression, and no ending to your game, than you probably won't like this. I've already put 5-6 hours into this game (more than some $60 dollar games), and I still haven't seen all the functions yet (ie. guardian powers).

That's what I was wondering.

Enjoying the music, graphics look so bad!

The things they get to put on Steam, or rather what they DONT allow on there

@Suits: Oh you haven't seen anything yet http://store.steampowered.com/app/201070

I don't even...

So does this game have an ending of sorts? Do you have a goal? Or is it like Minecraft?

I'm not sure if this game has an art style, if I does I hate it.

@Zaxex: The artstyle seems like a bunch of placeholder graphics they took from google images and then forgot to actually replace any of it with real graphics.

this game is actually really good , or should i say promising , as though its released its still in development , there are daily updates and constant new content , if you enjoyed what terraria turned into you should give this a go , it has crazy depth and some unique systems that take some learning but its overall simple and makes exploring and character progression fun while still rewarding you for taking on extra challenge .

its a shame you have to read the wiki and play for a couple of hours to even scratch the surface :/

"you keep all your stuff when you die"

"that's like the opposite of dark souls!"

did vinny even play dark souls?

I wish this game didn't look terrible. Everything else about it seems really interesting. I just can't get over the horrible art.

I agree. I can't really get past the horrible looks of this thing.

Getting a Dink Smallwood vibe from this

This game looks like it's made entirely of place-holder art

"When you die you're done." "Ok." - not ok.

What

That main menu music. Is tremendous.

I cant even watch this, it just looks horrendous

I really don't like the artstyle, interface or animation of this game... but it seems like it's something you can spend a lot of time exploring if you want to.

Totally agree. The first thing I thought of.

that intro music!!!! UHHHH AMAZING!!

I like the music for this game.

@Mumrik: ill be the third to say that. the art looks like a damn browser game......

I love permadeath. Perfectly ok by me.

This looks like a Klik & Play game.

I am really hating the artstyle, can't even look at it

Looks interesting. Too bad the graphics will keep most people away.

Also, "Lumbermancer."

Link 2 is a really weird thing to call Zelda 2.

Loving the music. I'd buy the soundtrack if I could.

Might get this, looks interesting and just weird enough for me.

Maybe he meant one of the CD-i games.

Looks like an obscure 90's shareware game made with public domain clip art

This game looks like its promising, if only they would clean up the interface and the graphics. I'm getting a Terraria like vibe off of it.

The only thing you had to say was "a little bit minecraft and a little bit dark souls" SOLD.

@lordofultima: Agreed, it adds so much tension to the game.

@Cirdain: Just saw it's from the makers of AI War.. so I'm not too surprised that it doesn't look great, but has a crazy amount of stuff/depth to it.

Fuck me, this looks boring. I had to stop watching after three minutes.
