Still trying to beat the first boss, but I think I'm pretty close :I  Let's go, Elise!

Oh man, I died like 5 times before I figured it out :I You have to roll right before the end of each of its attacks. To the left or right before the end of the arm swing, and then to the south (or just down? backwards?) just before he hits the ground from the stomp-y thing. Works every time. Other than that, don't use melee, just magic. Is easier that way.

When I was downloading Chantelise, I read some reviews for it and was like "oh no, I'm going to hate this!" But I didn't hate it! It's a great game, if tedious at parts.

I beat that Boss on my first try.

Finding out that there's a shop selling HP up items probably helped :V

Oh yeah, kinda reminded of it because of you~
The Erise? Erise!? ERISE! when you die reminds me of Snake? Snake!? SNAAAAAAAKE!

This made me happy.


Also, I cleared (not with all treasure, though) the first boss, and now I'm going to get to work on the next one.  Yup yup.  I really like how Zelda-ish the feel of this game is.  It's not identical.  It's different, despite the "fairy companion" schtick starting to feel a little bit too familiar.  But it does have a great feel.

And it's certainly true.  Rolling really, really helps.

I tried the game, but the controls are rather frustrating.

With a rather limited budget, I have gotten a surprising amount of games, including completing my STALKER collection with Clear Sky. On topic of Steam, I also managed to get that damn AI War achievement. That was tedious as hell.


I also have tips I can offer for the Defense Grid one. Simply put, Concussions, Temporals, and a few Flamethrowers. Pace yourself and place wisely, and that achievement is yours (speed things up with the 'F' button.). I suggest going one at a time every 1 or 2 waves, and then after a couple more waves, if you feel nervous, just upgrade your most effective towers first (even straight to level 3), and pace that until you just need to place what you think is good in a pinch. A couple meteors won't hurt either after 10+ waves in. After that, sit back and watch the credits flow in. Just make sure we still have all of our energy pods, and there you go; guaranteed gold.

I prefer having a pair of concussions setup first with a followup temporal. 2 greens can hold on for a good 5 waves before you need to start adding temps and upgrading the Concussions (best to max them out ASAP along with the temporal. That small team can last until 9th wave easy, 12 if you're ballsy; best placed closer to the energy core but not right next to it (if going by the first level the challenge is available to, like I did) (3 towers only, real cheap all 1s, inexpensive to upgrade (do that every 2-3 waves to not hurt your income too much for future placements), then you ought to provide your defense with more similar teams with the occasional flamethrower for safer measure.). It's best to have them all red (lvl. 3 towers) by wave 20, otherwise they won't keep up with the inflow and defend any trailing pods picked up. A laser/cannon or 2 can help against the shielded guys too if I'm not mistaken. Having at least a tesla or 2 won't hurt either.

I've been working on the EDGE achievement~
There's six snow levels in the whole game, apparently, and you have to find the switch hidden in the snow~
Of course, you first have to play through every level to find the snowy ones~

So I finally tried out Dungeons of Dredmor today, and I really like it. First character after finishing the tutorial is a heavy warrior build, with sword specialist, dual-wielding, berserk rage, big game hunter, eyesight, assassination, and something else I can't remember offhand. He's doing eerily well.

So well, in fact, that I'm questioning the game's authenticity as a roguelike. However, I suppose I should reserve my judgment until after I've gotten past floor 5, where I'm at currently. The randomly generated floors are HUGE, much larger than I originally anticipated.

And the items... SO MANY ITEMS! The random naming is just the cherry on top, my favorite thus far is my pair of gloves, Chrseeve the President of Bees.

I FINALLY took out Brax today in Dredmor. Such a hassle.


Take that, you literally capitalist pig!

Starting to envy you Dredmor players. Here's hoping I win a Dungeons of Dredmor copy from the Mega Giveaway thread, or that I can buy it soon.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Reading Toady's oldest posts. Heheh all the way from back when DF as we know it didn't exist. Wm

Now I'm instilled with a sense of wonder and respect to my elders. Woohoo.

it was $2.49 when I bought it, so it's quite the steal.

I personally go with a Fun Mathematics/Promethian/Psionics build, so I can see the enemy, move away from the enemy, then throw fireballs at yonder enemy, and heal myself when I accidently blow up. So far, I've found that fireballs just wreck everything.

I got it just yesterday, and it was about $1.80, and that's including the expansion, the Realms of the Diggle God or something.

Fireballs have been nerfed twice AFAIK. I don't think it's helped any.
