Decent price for this awesome game. Not sure if there would be a sale when the sequel arrives.

    Epic asside, this is a phenomenal game.

    • Easily worth a $5 premium to have on Steam though.

        It really is, I've seen developers charge more for the Steam version knowing it's more valuable.

        • It may be more to do with Valve charging a higher commission. I think they take a pretty savage cut, because they know they're the best platform.

        • Didn't realise they are still updating the game, been playing the switch version. Does the Steam version work on MacOS as well?

        Only if you have a Steam deck.

        • Even without, but Steam Deck is actually a great reason why you want to go Steam even more.

    got it for under 3 euros on eneba few months back.

    played it when it was free on Xbox pass and liked it enough to buy. still can't finish the game! although I haven't put an awful lot of time into it. great gameplay this! highly recommended

    • I'm nearly there, 20 hours later…

      • some combinations of boons are super powerful, but I still can't get past Elisium. I think I did it once or twice

        • Yeah you are set if you got Athena dash. I'm a procrastinator so I die a lot to farm Darkness to unlock the mirror and level up the keepsakes. Not actually trying to finish yet. It's a very fun game.

    • Don't worry. It'll happen soon. Then you'll get to a point where when you don't finish the game it is a surprise

    • My tips are:
      * Pair your boons with your weapon - e.g. if you're using something that attacks fast for little damage (like the rail) use Zeus' attack boon. If it's higher damage and slow use % based, like Athena or Aphrodite.
      * Always get a Daedalus hammer when available.
      * Use the dark portal in the first region, and only if strong already in following regions.
      * The Aegis is the easiest starter weapon. Hold down attack to prevent all damage from the front. Continuously use this to damage enemies without being hit.
      * Use dash a lot.
      * Always go for the event in the second region (Eurydice).
      * For the mirror typically the default options are better / easier.
      * Only go to the shop to avoid a battle you don't want (in the middle of the first 3 regions it will skip a mini-boss battle) or when you have 300 gold or more.
      * For keepsakes the extra duration on Well of Charon is strong early - stack up on heal per chamber and extra damage.

        I’ve never touched Charon’s keepsake. Used to spend all the money every singles chance I got, until I realise I could buy death defiance for 200. I guess it really depends on your style.

        • 10% heal per chamber for an extra 6 chambers (9 total) and it's only 50 gold or something - it adds up pretty nicely, and should stop you using as many death's defiances

          • +1

            @Wyn-Ryder: That makes sense, I guess especially if you pick centaur hearts a lot. I always start with the cosmic egg to try and get the bonus darkness then switch to whichever I want to level up.

            • +1

              @Alley Cat: I didn't use it once I had enough base health and death's defiances, but it helped to get further into the game earlier on

  • Best 100 hours I’ve ever poured into a game

  • Just reminded me that I've had this on PS5 for months and haven't even started it up yet. Better get onto it…

      Stop reading the thread then! It’s too good a game to be spoiled, don’t go look at tips either, just play 🤓 And fingers crossed you got out of it at some stage 😂 I think I have a fair bit to go still…
