Quick Look: Immortal Redneck

Yay, glad to see this game get some play time on GB! :)

Dunno if the guys liked it or not but since this game is basically Ziggurat but in ancient Egypt sorta, it works for me.

Man some of those mouse movements in this QL making me sick...too MLG for me. Need to tone down the speed for us viewers.

This game seems interesting, but I really don't understand why they couched it in the bad attempt at humor.

It's literally serious Sam

Mouse speed?!?

I've been having so much fun with this game and Dead Cells. This continues to be an AMAZING year for games!

He's using a pretty high sens, but I prefer this to the majority of videos on this site of them meandering about with a controller.

This seems like it could be super great but the dumb humor overly long levels and aesthetic make it not so good. How are there so many almost good fps... Oh well we had prey and doom in the past year to make up for the bad stuff but I would love a proper fps with state progression.

Just remake invasion for UT 2004 mutator it was the best it had haste dMG attack speed and skills like life steal etc that made you unstoppable eventually and it was so much fun.

I enjoyed that game, though not enough to New Game +. It got a little repetitive.

This game is much, much better than Ziggurat or Tower of Guns and Strafe. It puts all the other FPS roguelites to shame. This quick look did a poor job showing it off which is a shame since it hasn't gotten much mainstream press or streamers for some reason. The game is a ton of fun and there is a great amount of variation in runs between God abilities, weapon pick-ups, perks and map layout. The map layout is very impressive since it focuses on verticality which is lacking from other FPS roguelites. I think this is destined to become one of those hidden gems on Steam that people gravitate toward over the years.

@lonelyspacepanda: Some would say that it's the best time to be playing video games.

Duders, are you gonna do a Quick Look for Dead Cells???

I get that. His settings seem about on par with my PC FPS settings, though.

Immortal Redneck...?

Is...is this a reboot of the Redneck Rampage franchise?

This game looks pretty great. Kind of reminds me of Wasted along with all the other comparisons people have made.

Glad we got to learn more about our boy Brad.

does this portal lead to my beer?

This looks A LOT like Ziggurat, but it's not by Milkstone Studios, the original makers of that game.

Both Milkstone and the developer for this game, CremaGames are both located in Spain though. Is this by the same people by any chance, but under a different dev? I really can't get over how similar these games are.

@nameredacted: I'd love to watch a quick look on Dead Cells. I'm really digging that game thus far!

The protagonist's attempt at a Southern accent is very bad.

It's actually a lil shocking how similar this game is to Rogue Legacy when you look at the upgrade tree. You've got your basic stat upgrades, extra crit chance and damage upgrades, extra "classes" along with one upgrade to their special ability, bonus gold generation, hell they've even got a class that earns significantly more gold than the others just like RL does.

Also we didn't get to see a ton of it but those scroll modifiers can really change things up for better or worse in a run and some do really crazy things. Thing like double/triple jump, pots drop health and ammo, all the text in the game turns into hieroglyphics, You can only carry one weapon, you can carry an extra weapon, unlimited ammo for a single floor, Hazardous environments no longer harm you, double your current gold, etc, etc.

Yeesh.

If games like this have controller support, you should probably look into playing them with a controller.

Normally I'm totally immune to people on videos whipping the mouse around as fast as they can in FPS games, but this one's super-narrow FOV combined with the extremely high sensitivity on the mouse made it so that not even I can watch this video.

Playing them with a controller would alleviate this issue, a lot of the time.

@heatdrive88: nope, different teams. the redneck guys are kinda active on r/gamedev and from their posts this seems like their first commercial game.

One of the duders was playing this during the GB Community Stream a couple weekends ago, and it looked pretty cool. He was able to select characters just fine every time he started a new run, so it's weird that Ben wasn't able to. I really dig the ancient Egypt aesthetic. but man is the redneck stuff dumb.

@hassun: Ahh bring me back to space Egypt, the most beautiful place on earth

Video doesn't seem to be working for me, i keep getting a error. It's also not on youtube.

This game is $20, not $15.

Serious Sam is the only space Egypt for me.

Error all day long.

reduce mouse sensitivity on that PC by about 85% please.

Ben and Brad quick looks are quickly becoming a favourite.

Just wanna disagree with sensitivity complaints.

Can't play this video without logging into my account.

Totally Serious Sam looking.

The hierarchy of rednecks at my high school was determined by how big and/or loud their trucks were.

@linkster7: Earth!?

I like the mouse speed, watching games like this played with a controller isn't as good to me..

Sorry for the folks that can't handle the motion though. I don't know if there is a good compromise.

@hassun: You heard me!

You have to exit to the main menu, essentially starting a new run, in order to pick. It's not intuitive so I don't blame them (I was confused as well). It was painful to watch though since they were so close at the end. All Ben needed to do was click the button and we'd have double the quick look!

@linkster7:

I'm shocked this wasn't a Dan quicklook.

Dat mouse sensitivity tho.

Props to Ben for keeping the K-pop alive on Giantbomb!

I think ben needs a netipot, he sounds very congested.

Hey, Ben, I know why you're running out of ammo a lot.

It's because you shoot at enemies 3 or 4 times after they die. :p

Good stuff, shame you weren't able to figure out how to change characters (I actually don't remember how, I feel like I just chose it by entering the pyramid but that's clearly not the case...) because it's actually SUPER different feeling with each character.

Maybe if you get a little more time in it you can show it off in UPF with different characters! That'd be neat.

I'm kind of not getting this game. Maybe check it out again.

Not enough backpedaling.

I can understand both sides of this, but for me personally, I get a wee bit woozy (not really motion sick, but I'm definitely little uncomfortable) whenever someone is playing with a super high sensitivity and you can see every little jitter of their hand. If I'm the one playing like this, I don't have a problem, it's just when watching others play like this. It's definitely possible to control a shooter with sensitivity this high and have good accuracy and move the camera smoothly enough that portions of your audience don't feel a little uncomfortable.

Is this QL geoblocked here in Australia ? Cannot view it at all and doesn't appear on GB's YT channel. I am also (obviously) logged into the site....

yo Ben, you got some game. Speak softly but carry a high mouse sensitivity
