1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400 Ten days from Play Welcome to seven days to play your Weekly 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,400 mobile game review program. I'm Sam and I'm Edwin each week. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,700 We challenged one hot play a new mobile game and this week. 4 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:13,000 It was my turn. I chose dead cells dead cells of 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,600 the deep sound remind me how you describe this game a 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,500 metroidvania. Roguelike platform. 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,100 Yeah. I think it's a really key 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,900 metroidvania. So it's a roguelike because your 9 00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:29,500 progress resets. Okay, let's do this as a quiz 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,900 Rogue. Like your progress resets you 11 00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:35,100 can't you kind of stuff in the beginning each time, right 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,100 metroidvania, is that it changes each time as well. 13 00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,300 No rap. That's that's what a roguelike 14 00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:43,400 isn't like. Yeah. 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,300 It's like chances are things will be randomized. 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,600 I think this is this solve for like the development issue of 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,100 like, oh we can't make these Grand big maps all the time and 18 00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:54,200 like playing them all out. Let's just make it randomly 19 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,700 generated, but actually smart. Yeah, that's smart. 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,700 So Metro Vania is You get energy from killing enemies. 21 00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,900 Nope. No, you get power-ups like you 22 00:01:04,908 --> 00:01:09,300 get sliced or weapons that enables you to unlock different 23 00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,800 locations and you're essentially discovering the area or like 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,700 unrevealing this larger map, right and possibly a story 25 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,100 right? So that's pretty quickly 26 00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:23,200 beginning this game. Is you realize. 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800 Oh you are replaying quite a lot or at least. 28 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,700 Oh, yeah, we starting yes. And the story sort of like lends 29 00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:33,900 itself to it. So you quickly discover that you 30 00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:37,900 are a reanimated piece of blob the titular dead cells. 31 00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:42,900 I imagine exactly that said to like, you know do something like 32 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,200 you're not really sure and I think this sort of lends itself 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,000 to like the mystery of the story that is slowly unraveled before 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,600 you there was a lot of mystery to it which you know, I'm sure 35 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,600 you I'm sure you're not a fan of but for me like it does Drive 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,900 things forward like a normal roguelike. 37 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,900 Things one day reset, you know, it resets all the way and so 38 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,600 like there's no remnants like each it's like a each episode of 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,700 Simpsons, right? Yes. 40 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,400 I found reset hard reset not in my couch anything from the 41 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,700 previous week, right 20 years 25 years in existence and date. 42 00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:20,000 There's no continuity. It's like Groundhog Day just 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,900 like Groundhog Day. The main character has set of 44 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,600 experience that they can continue on going forward great 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,800 simile, Sam, but like In the case of this game though. 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,100 They did slightly different where the story is still 47 00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,500 persisting. The day isn't necessarily like 48 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,500 repeating itself. The dungeon is Shifting around 49 00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,500 and there's like this story element and explains why I like 50 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,600 the dungeon is Shifting around which explains for the roguelike 51 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,700 and there is a reason why you're being like reanimated, right? 52 00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:52,600 And these are things that I think like you have to figure 53 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,700 out like as you play one little good example that I found in the 54 00:02:56,708 --> 00:02:59,600 game was like in the beginning there are sort of like this 55 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,000 Warrior woman that greets you saying like Okay, you're alive 56 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,600 again again, like of course. Live again. 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,700 And so that sets you up with like, okay, like I'm just saying 58 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:11,400 that like comes back to life. Right? 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400 And then the next time you come back she's in a different place 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,400 like talking about another thing right and then on like third or 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800 fourth time that you come back like she's no longer there. 62 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,100 Hmm and then but then you find her like body in like one of the 63 00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:31,300 parts of the dungeon, right? So like time is progressing and 64 00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:34,200 I think there's like this really cool aspect of it and I think 65 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,400 more will be unrevealed like More will be revealed as you 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,200 play. So I thought that was like a 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,700 really nice touch to like the whole Rogue leaky type of game. 68 00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,400 Yeah. Yeah, that's bad. 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,500 It's very cool. I think the whole game has a 70 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:50,900 whole bunch of really nice touches like that. 71 00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:56,400 Yeah around it a little better controls the controls. 72 00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:02,300 So this game is originally made for consoles and the computer 73 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800 meaning that your accessible to hard tactile buttons. 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,900 That you have total control over this being a port for the iPhone 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600 you now have the on-screen d-pad. 76 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600 What did you how did you feel about this at one? 77 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,200 How did I think it was fine? Hmm with iOS 13 that now has 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,500 support for remote controllers. Oh, yeah. 79 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:33,600 So I think with the I was 13, it has compatible off the bat with 80 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:36,400 Uber don't quote me on this, but maybe the Xbox controller. 81 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,000 I move the PS4 controller. Yep. 82 00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,900 I think most of the most of the modern controllers now me fee. 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,400 Yeah standard and do the Bluetooth good like Bluetooth 84 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:50,400 connectivity. Yeah, so I would be interested 85 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,900 on in to try that out. Mmm iPad Pro and a controller 86 00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:56,400 rate. That would be pretty sweet 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 gaming rig for dead selling. Would you like me to lend you a 88 00:04:58,808 --> 00:05:05,000 controller? Well, maybe so so my my thing 89 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,300 is, you know, I have played this game before. 90 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:12,600 Hmm, and I know how good the controls are for like a console 91 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,300 or even like the Nintendo switch. 92 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,300 Yeah, and so having your primary platform you played it on. 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,600 Yeah. I know it's like perfect for the 94 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,600 switch but the going from that to this I really I think I gave 95 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000 it like a really fair shot. Like I enjoyed the moment that I 96 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,400 play with it. In fact like I think I've gotten 97 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,500 further in this one. Mmm. 98 00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,200 Then I might have on the on the switch version that was because 99 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000 of portability inconvenience portability and convenience for 100 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,700 sure. Like, you know, this is our 101 00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:45,200 Mantra here at some of these to play portability inconvenience. 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,100 Yeah, so like I can play it anywhere. 103 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:51,500 Have a good time with it. Right like just whip it out, huh 104 00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:54,700 on the bus as you like to do right get that back seat 105 00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:58,700 yourself. It is New Jersey and you know, 106 00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:03,200 like you can just totally enjoy it but there's something about 107 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,900 the on-screen d-pad for a game like this that really requires 108 00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:10,500 you to be precise. Yeah and deliberate about 109 00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:15,000 everything that I found that I was just goofing up a lot of 110 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,600 some really big Say things right like pairing is like one of the 111 00:06:19,608 --> 00:06:22,400 most essential things in this game where you like do a Dodge 112 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,200 roll. And they made one little thing 113 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,000 where you can set it to Auto attack right like so we can 114 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,900 Auto. / yeah, so you just get close to the person you start 115 00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,800 slashing and I found that to be really useful in the beginning 116 00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:40,900 because you can more enjoy like the jumping right use of the 117 00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,200 motion rather than having to do motion and attack exactly. 118 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Yeah, and then there was like the sting of like, I think one 119 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,500 of the default thing is like to swipe to dodge swipe to Perry. 120 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,800 And so I set it to that but then it really got in the way of 121 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,200 confusing itself between to jump and the Dodge so it do like this 122 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,200 really weird like jumping cartwheel thing. 123 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:07,300 That's kind of cool, but it's not as quick like you'd still 124 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,000 get hit because of the jump. Oh, I see write songs. 125 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,400 Yeah. Yeah. 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800 It just it's a game that requires you to be pretty 127 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,900 precise. If you don't you're gonna die if 128 00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:18,100 you die everything resets, right? 129 00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:21,400 So all the items that you collect which is like a big part 130 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,000 of this game is on. Talk about that later. 131 00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:27,100 Yeah, I found similarly. There's a bunch of Ledges 132 00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,700 throughout this game, which you kind of need to jump on to jump 133 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,100 back up to the places and there was I don't know the exact 134 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:36,000 situation, but I wanted to face a certain way when I got onto 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000 the ledge, right but I found myself unable to do that sooner 136 00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,800 turn around I would jump off the ledge again. 137 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,500 Yeah, so I wanted to kind of maybe jump up and bow and arrow 138 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,900 right bad a baddie, but I feel like that's the thing like when 139 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,400 you're in fast movement, it generally controls well because 140 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,500 your fingers moving around quickly, but when You have to be 141 00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:55,500 precise and sort of like slow down your thumb a little bit. 142 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,900 That's when it starts to mess up. 143 00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:59,800 Like there's this part where I wanted to be close to the ledge, 144 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,500 but then the ledge had like a little ladder and it kept me 145 00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:05,300 like kept having me go down the ladder. 146 00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:08,500 I'm like, no, I don't want to go down the ladder just like little 147 00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,900 things like that. Yeah, one of those could be a 148 00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:14,100 precise control mode. You could enter where some me 149 00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:17,800 the sensitivity goes like way down or something like that. 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,200 But I that really that wouldn't there is a way to do that the 151 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800 Deep Doesn't move with the finger. 152 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,100 So yeah, one of the things that it tries to do is like it can 153 00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,100 allow you to start to touch anywhere on that side of your 154 00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,299 the screen. And so that will be sort of like 155 00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:36,700 the base point of where the d-pad appears and then from 156 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,799 there if you move it up down left and right, I'll do the 157 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,299 recording things. Yeah, that's how I had my setup. 158 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,799 Right? I think there's a way to lock 159 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,300 it. So it doesn't try and follow 160 00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,600 your thumb around. So it's more of a more precise 161 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,300 placement. Maybe I should try that too. 162 00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:55,800 Yeah, so Edwin This is a pretty great example of a roguelike. 163 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,200 Hmm where you know, the longer you're going into this dungeon, 164 00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:04,900 the more items that are really awesome that you collect. 165 00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:10,200 And then when you die, you get this big sensation of oh my god, 166 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,300 I've lost everything because you need the cells that you keep to 167 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,900 either like upgrade your items and cells are like these little 168 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,100 things that you collect by killing each person or something 169 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,600 like that. They drop like every once in a 170 00:09:21,608 --> 00:09:25,700 while the more cells you collect the more opportunities that you 171 00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,900 have in between the levels to purchase improvements for 172 00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:32,000 yourself, right? We don't see the very tall guy, 173 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,600 right? It is awesome little weaponry. 174 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,400 How did you like the experience of losing everything I'm used to 175 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,600 it, but I was okay with it. I kind of enjoyed that hmm. 176 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,200 I thought it was a interesting twist. 177 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,500 I think there are safe zones to get to I was unclear as to how 178 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:56,000 they worked or where they were. I think I didn't quite get that 179 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,500 feeling of oh, I need to get to this point to this to be like a 180 00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:02,400 safe point, right, but that's still a bit of a mystery to me. 181 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,400 I know which one to what teleporting but um I would often 182 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,100 what was confusing to me, especially the mobile experience 183 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:16,100 is like, oh I just need to pause now because I need to get off a 184 00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,300 Subway orderly. Did you do this and it wasn't 185 00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:21,200 clear? Wait, where's is there a save 186 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,300 button or a pause button which to my knowledge? 187 00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,700 There is not one of those right? There is something that says 188 00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:30,500 things like a pause icon like a way on the top right but that 189 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,500 wasn't a button I didn't understand what that meant. 190 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,400 Yeah, and I was like, okay. Well, how do I What I do now do 191 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 I just like I said, it's close the app and hope for the best. 192 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,600 Yeah, so that was it. That was actually that's a 193 00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:45,700 really really good point because when I was playing this on the 194 00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,800 switch, if you turned off your switch, it just turned 195 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,600 everything into a hibernate mode, right? 196 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400 So it would save your state. You know, that it wouldn't be 197 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,500 messed up. You can pretty much continue 198 00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:58,600 anytime you want with the iPhone though. 199 00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,400 There is this thing, you know, like I think it's like a memory 200 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,700 buffer or like a session buffer where for maybe up to an hour or 201 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,800 if you don't In a lot of apps afterwards, it will still 202 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,300 persist the state of your app. But then if you go over that 203 00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,700 threshold of time or apps open It will have to start from the 204 00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:25,600 start. Yeah, and so right yes, you know 205 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,100 iPhone will flush Ram but because of my nerdy iPhone 206 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:33,900 developer hat on right now, you should get a notification as as 207 00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:38,200 the programmed from IOS to say. Hey, you're about to be flushed 208 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,800 from RAM and so are you can then like right your state to to 209 00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,900 memory or like the more permanent memory so then you can 210 00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:50,900 grab it next time when you App starts up Theory there is there 211 00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:53,000 is a way around awaited. Yeah, it's not that all your 212 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,300 app. Suddenly shut down. 213 00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,800 It's like there you are notified gotcha because I definitely had 214 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,800 a moment where like I made some progression at to get off the 215 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,800 toilet. That's leave Sam's gaming room 216 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,500 and you know, I switched apps and then maybe like 30 minutes 217 00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,600 later. I opened it again and all my 218 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,000 progress was gone. Yeah, and there wasn't like a 219 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,300 good way that they did it just started from the beginning like 220 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,100 the title screens of you looking over the castle Yeah. 221 00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,800 It's dead cells. You know, I'm like, oh, no, you 222 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600 know it happened. Right. 223 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,700 And so that's a bit of a bummer. Yeah. 224 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Usually you're going to make a roguelike for your for your 225 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800 iPhone. That's just a reality of gaming 226 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,100 on this platform is that people aren't going to be able to sit 227 00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:41,300 down for hours on end to play right way through you can have 228 00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:44,700 to need to cater to people that have five minute increments of 229 00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:47,700 gameplay. So how far did you get that one? 230 00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,600 Well, I feel like I'm interviewing you for this one. 231 00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:52,900 The one that suggested the game, that's fun. 232 00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:57,800 Is there a way to find out if you look at the The ceiling 233 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,500 where there's like tons of like little glass bubbles. 234 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,700 Oh, yes why that get me become illuminated? 235 00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:06,800 Yeah, they start filling up with the items that you've come 236 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,700 across that you've actually gotten. 237 00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:13,700 Oh, dear. Yeah. 238 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:23,900 Oh dear indeed. well They appear to be empty all of it because 239 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,700 I'm nothing at all. I think so. 240 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Okay, well was embarrassing. Well, really, can I see is it 241 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,700 possible which is why because I feel like I played this game a 242 00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,200 reasonable amount. Okay, but clearly not. 243 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,900 Yeah, so maybe I didn't know what I'm supposed to be 244 00:13:43,908 --> 00:13:45,500 collecting. Maybe I just ran past many 245 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,000 Treasures. So I think these items appear 246 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,500 when you either do the story. They've been giving to you as 247 00:13:54,500 --> 00:14:00,400 things that you can get easier. Or things that you have invested 248 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:07,500 in with your dead cells no most. Yeah, the financial instrument 249 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:14,000 of the cells exactly. So yeah, I think one of the 250 00:14:14,008 --> 00:14:17,400 points of the game is to try and fill those little bottles up as 251 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,800 much as possible. I have five well, I will 252 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,000 continue. Okay, let's let you know. 253 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000 What's a huge difference. Yeah. 254 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,500 But guys it goes to say this game is very difficult and big 255 00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:34,900 or like you need to is going to take some time sure, I think 256 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,500 because if you look at the sheer number of empty glass jars 257 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:42,100 available, here's like at least a hundred I think right? 258 00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,200 Yeah. It seems it seems like a lot 259 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,100 really. So did you actually get to like 260 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:49,400 the next phase like where you had to go through a doorway? 261 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,200 I don't think I could laugh on her. 262 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,900 Okay. No, I'm so well, I think that's 263 00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,600 where for the amateur gamer because it restarts. 264 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:05,900 Each time I wasn't confused as to when I'm making progress or 265 00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,900 not. I see really mean like it's 266 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800 there are points and I think yeah, I think you got to the 267 00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:15,900 merchant. Yes over Merchant before the 268 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,200 merchant is not the guy at the end of the chapter. 269 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,500 Mmm. So, I think I've made some point 270 00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,200 when you make your way through the map. 271 00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,300 Yeah. So the here's the thing about 272 00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:26,700 the map as well. Like when you're playing you can 273 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:30,700 come across an elite that's very difficult to Kill Ya when you 274 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:34,000 kill the We'll get an item that item will then appear in a glass 275 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,400 jar. Hmm But you don't have to meet 276 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400 the elite in order to complete the level. 277 00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,500 You can just look at the map and find your way through and look 278 00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:46,500 at an exit when you get to the exit your come across another 279 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,400 big guy. Where you can invest the cells 280 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000 that you've collected throughout the map. 281 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Mmm, I see and from there you can Bank on permanent upgrades. 282 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,800 But these permanent upgrades are very expensive in terms of 283 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,000 cells. They're gonna cost you some real 284 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,600 sales. So that's why I like the longer 285 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,400 the more time that you spend on collecting these cells you want 286 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,900 to make sure that you keep them to at least the end of the 287 00:16:12,908 --> 00:16:16,700 chapter where you can spend them and that's where like this whole 288 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:20,500 like gambling notion comes in with this roguelike where the 289 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:24,300 longer you take the longer you stay the more danger you're in 290 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,200 but then the greater the reward so it's like a Balancing that 291 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,400 yeah. Yes. 292 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,400 I see. The I think it certainly got 293 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,800 lost or other stuck on maps in the map before where I was sort 294 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,600 of kind of got lost wasn't was like, okay. 295 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,900 Well, I've been around these places I've teleported back to 296 00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:49,900 where I came from and then now I'm I wasn't quite sure where to 297 00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:51,100 go. Were you scared? 298 00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:57,200 Yeah, I was. I feel like I just got lost on 299 00:16:57,208 --> 00:17:00,300 the map and I'm like, okay. Well, where do I go now which is 300 00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:02,700 intermittent. I mean it's kind of a cool thing 301 00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:05,700 is like exploring ruining our platform me explore anything, 302 00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:07,200 right? And I think that's the key part 303 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,400 of being a metroidvania is like finding your way through the 304 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,099 map. So the map is actually very 305 00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:16,099 crucial mmm in this game. As you can kind of look at it 306 00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:19,300 predict areas that you haven't discovered yet because it's sort 307 00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,700 of faded in the map. It has like a say, they're like 308 00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:25,200 a gradient. Yeah, and sometimes you can like 309 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,800 kind of guess as to where the exit might be because it might 310 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,100 be unlike the opposite end of like where you are. 311 00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:32,100 Yeah. So you make your way towards 312 00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,500 their I can deduce right? What do you do? 313 00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:36,400 Yeah. Okay. 314 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,500 Let's go on to the three by threes three by threes. 315 00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:42,100 Okay. Oh, no, I'm just playing the 316 00:17:42,108 --> 00:17:44,700 game. All right, let's start. 317 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:48,100 I'm so gonna be so I'm surprised you I'm say the music is very 318 00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:49,300 good. Mmm. 319 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,800 That's kind of upbeat acoustic guitar back. 320 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,100 Go back go back go back. Yeah, the music is good. 321 00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,100 They paid a lot of attention to it is better than I make it 322 00:17:57,108 --> 00:18:01,600 sound on top of that the pixel art work in this game is 323 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,300 amazing. Yeah, it's yeah, it's pure pixel 324 00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:08,900 art history. It did a really good job with it 325 00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:14,400 putting the Artistry in art. Absolutely I think the controls 326 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,700 work pretty well. I like easily they work 327 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,900 perfectly fine enough to have fun with the game. 328 00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,600 I really like the idea of using a controller right with like the 329 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,600 OS 13 upgrades and a possible. Yeah. 330 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,800 I like the I like the little concessions damage for mobile. 331 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,100 Like there's some nice benefits of like not having to sleep. - 332 00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,900 for everything and it sort of oughta slashes whenever you come 333 00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,600 across a bad guy. Yeah, the only bad point about 334 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,700 that is that if you have a weapon that takes time like that 335 00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:48,700 slower but hits harder that can really mess you up wasn't your 336 00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,200 timing, right? Right. 337 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Yeah, but I'm more excited by the idea of like a iPad and a 338 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800 game controller as like a gaming device. 339 00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:00,200 Oh, yeah, totally that will work. 340 00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,400 Yeah, and yeah, it's like your own portable little console. 341 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,400 Yeah, when is iPad OS out its app and dropped like the day 342 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,600 before yesterday, right? Because they they messed up and 343 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800 didn't came up didn't come out the same time as Iowa State 344 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,100 exactly. So I was looking. 345 00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,400 Yeah. Yeah, we'll get that later. 346 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,500 Yeah, the game is just really deep and engaging like I think 347 00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:22,900 as soon as you tap into the little aspects of the story 348 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,400 granted if you like the story, I think that in combination would 349 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,600 like to Rogue leg nature and sort of like that Groundhog Day 350 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,200 thing of every day you're discovering like a new thing is 351 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:39,300 really Engaging and yeah, it's like not you know, it's not the 352 00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:43,800 story isn't in your face, but it's enough to really Drive 353 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,800 things forward not like the golfing on the moon golfing on 354 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,500 Mars. Right? 355 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:48,900 Exactly. I forgot what that game was 356 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:53,600 called golfing on Mars Golf Club something Golf Club Mars golf 357 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,100 club or something that has some of that yeah. 358 00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:56,900 Yeah. I think that's it for my good 359 00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:57,800 points. Okay. 360 00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:00,900 So for me the last thing is there is a really good sense of 361 00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,400 progression, even though it is a roguelike. 362 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,500 There are things that you can build towards immediately and I 363 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,400 think you know, it lends itself for it to be like a good 364 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,600 long-term game. And so yeah, it's really 365 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,600 something that you can spend probably like hundreds of hours 366 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,000 in this game. And if you like if you like this 367 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,900 type of intimidating, yeah, but definitely intimidating 368 00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:26,100 especially for mobile game, but if it, you know, if you don't 369 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:31,000 have any other console and you're looking for a exciting 370 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,700 Really well-crafted metroidvania game like this is definitely up 371 00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,400 there but I have probably spent a few hundred hours playing Pub 372 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,900 G Mobile. So there you go. 373 00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:44,800 Yeah, that's your game of the year three years in a row now, 374 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,400 it's yeah. Let's get to the bad points the 375 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,500 controls even though it's a good good attempt like because I'm 376 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,100 coming from like a console and I've actually tried this on a 377 00:20:58,108 --> 00:21:01,500 console and you know understand the Precision that this game 378 00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,200 requires. It was just difficult for me to 379 00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:07,900 get to I think you might be right like maybe the way to do 380 00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:11,700 it is to have another controller, but I think that's 381 00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,400 ridiculous to have a controller on you on the bus with your 382 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,400 phone. You'd be the coolest. 383 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,200 Go on the bus though because then you need something to prop 384 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600 up your phone, right? Yeah. 385 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:25,400 Yes. Yeah. 386 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,600 Yeah, they're all some practical limitations right unless I get 387 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,600 maybe a wait do they have like glasses where you can put your 388 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,300 phone in front of your face and it just holds it up there. 389 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,600 Or like maybe a cap or a hat that sort of I can hang the 390 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600 phone on so like that was in front of my face, but instead of 391 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,000 those Australian hats with Angela quarks just angle your 392 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 iPhone down the stairs. Yep. 393 00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,800 Can't see any problems with us just in general how your 394 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,000 progress is saved is not clear. There's even a saved game slot. 395 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,600 Yeah, no idea how it got populated or where the savegame 396 00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:06,000 how you enter that it I guess it's predetermined what you need 397 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,100 to get to a certain point and then it also saves right? 398 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Maybe it's for iCloud. I don't know maybe it's so that 399 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,500 you can play it on your iPad at home. 400 00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:17,000 And yeah, the police thinks through High Cloud all the 401 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Fantastic game center. It's still light bulb up 402 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:30,000 balloons, but for a game that is, you know, you reset hard if 403 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,300 you die, I would like to send some some leniency around 404 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,000 maintain your game state if you can't finish great session. 405 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,400 And totally and the fact that it's a roguelike like these 406 00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:46,100 these lives are precious write your progression is very 407 00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:50,100 precious and it's a mobile game. So you have to stop playing at 408 00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,000 some point. I feel like there needs to be 409 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000 really good ways for it to really signal to you. 410 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,200 Okay now is a stop like we got this it's safe. 411 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,900 You can turn off your phone change to a different app and 412 00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,800 we're not going to mess it up. Right like it needs to feel like 413 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,000 that and that in combination of it being a rogue. 414 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,900 Like made it a total grapefruit for me. 415 00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:15,500 Like I sort of dreaded the possibility of losing. 416 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,100 Oh, no, right all my cells and the progression of the game that 417 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:20,700 I have so far. Yeah. 418 00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:24,200 So it was a those two aspects totally made it a grapefruit for 419 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,900 me. I think you just in general. 420 00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:28,200 I wasn't I wish I like this game more. 421 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,300 I think I was very ready to like it and I was excited but it 422 00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,200 didn't quite stick with me for now. 423 00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:35,800 Like I said, I want to keep my phone. 424 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:42,900 I want to keep playing it but It's didn't Captivate me quite 425 00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:44,100 yet. I think I need to spend more 426 00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,200 time with it. I think I would have liked maybe 427 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,600 a little more of it easier gradient into it. 428 00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:52,500 I mean, I certainly appreciate no tutorials, you know, you just 429 00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:57,300 get in there and do it, but the same time for a game of this 430 00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:00,400 size and scope and complexity. I think there is a lot of 431 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,400 complexity to it. I was like a little maybe a tiny 432 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,600 bit more hand-holding Sam. What is your final suddenly 433 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,900 rooting for days?

Yeah, that's a good episode. 532 00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:28,300 My thing of the week, I recently have purchased the Nintendo 533 00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,900 switch light. Mmm. 534 00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:33,000 I didn't know died did not know about this. 535 00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:36,700 Yeah, it's a cute little device slightly smaller than the 536 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:41,200 regular Nintendo switch the screen as well or is it just the 537 00:30:41,208 --> 00:30:42,900 dimensions this screen and dimensions? 538 00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:44,700 Yeah.

That's what makes it. 543 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,300 So like that's what makes it light. 544 00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,400 Yep. Also the controls on the side 545 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,000 are no longer detachable. It's just one solid unit, which 546 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,200 I think feels a lot better. No, but you kind of customize it 547 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,400 with your custom joy cons, but it's yellow. 548 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,200 The one I got is yellow and looks adorable. 549 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,200 I've been jamming on that great little device. 550 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,500 The price is pretty good as well. 551 00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:21,500 It's like $1.99 or something like that. 552 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,300 That's pretty good. Yeah, so that's been you'll go 553 00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:26,600 to switch that has been my greatest fear the care of your 554 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,500 kids taken the other one now. Well, here's the thing. 555 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,800 I made a lot of digital purchases through my account 556 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,300 unit Endo link, right? So most of my games are in 557 00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:41,000 digital. Hmm and you can have the games 558 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,700 in two places and two switches which is kind of dumb. 559 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,600 Like I think there's ways that you can lend it but it's a very 560 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,100 complicated. So you have to like create a 561 00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:51,800 different account. You can't like yeah, there's 562 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,300 something about that that I still haven't looked into 563 00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:57,000 Nintendo crazy about this I know right? 564 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,000 So that's why maybe it's actually more convenient to have 565 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,500 the physical cards of the games. But who wants to carry around 566 00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:08,500 cartridges of games then you can trick people into licking them. 567 00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:14,600 All right, but I did just open Super Mario World Tour first 568 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,200 thing up. Going to sign into Nintendo 569 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,900 account. Oh my God, right already. 570 00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:23,000 It begins. It begins negative marks for 571 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,600 that that's going on the negative. 572 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,100 Whether any new games that came out with the switch lights, 573 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,400 there are tons. So there's this going to tell 574 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,600 you all the crazy games. Okay. 575 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,600 So first there's links the new Legend of Zelda links Awakening 576 00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:40,200 which looks like little Miniatures. 577 00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:43,000 It's adorable absolutely adorable. 578 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,700 So there's that adorable switch adorable link little little on 579 00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:51,100 little well. There's also this game called 580 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,300 astral chain, which is a Japanese game of crazy Japanese 581 00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:58,400 things about Your adventures and the astral plane. 582 00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:03,000 Wow. Another game called demon ex 583 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,700 machina or you're controlling a giant robot. 584 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,800 That's pretty good. Yeah, there's really there's so 585 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,300 many good games coming out for this which mmm interesting it is 586 00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:20,500 my favorite platform right now. Well, let's keep an eye on that 587 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,300 puppy mobile. I know they're really dumb for 588 00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:25,900 not publishing publishing Mobile on switch. 589 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,500 It does we'll bring them is working on in these Special 590 00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,000 Projects right now. Mmm Other things are I don't 591 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,500 think so. Should we talk about Apple or 592 00:33:32,508 --> 00:33:34,000 Katie's before we go? Yes. 593 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,900 Apple arcade is launched on September 19. 594 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,000 Yeah tag. Gotta go on the first day. 595 00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:44,200 Oh, look at you. You had to update your OS in 596 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,600 order to get it to it wasn't an easy feat, right? 597 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,600 It is tied to I was 13 and is tied to the app store which I 598 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,800 think is also kind of confusing because it still has its game 599 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,900 section. Yeah now it has an arcade 600 00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:00,000 section as well. Hi. 601 00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,300 I see right. I see that's a little confusing. 602 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,000 Yeah, I have yet to pull the trigger. 603 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,400 Actually, I will be honest. I've seen it. 604 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,300 You should take a look. My initial reaction is it's very 605 00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:12,199 overwhelming because there's so many good looking games on it. 606 00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,900 This is some this is what I've heard. 607 00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:18,000 Yeah, there was like a bunch of really quick games but difficult 608 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,199 to sort through or like how do you decide what to play? 609 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,000 Right just and it seems like whatever is called out on that 610 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,199 day always changes daily as well. 611 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,100 So it doesn't really give you time to think about it and 612 00:34:27,107 --> 00:34:29,900 consider is when you let me check. 613 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,500 The thing that I saw yesterday you go back and then it's no 614 00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:35,199 longer there on the top. Yeah, it's really hard to go 615 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,900 through the game that you might have seen because you're not 616 00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:40,300 going to remember the name. It's gonna be called lying one 617 00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:41,400 with the Fluffy thing on the front. 618 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,900 All right, and then we could like make sure chain. 619 00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:48,199 Was it Steven Machina with demonex chain, Machina plane? 620 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,800 But biologically there are some great games out. 621 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,300 There there are yeah, I think because of I was hearings like 622 00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:59,200 oh, there's so many there's so much content on there. 623 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,400 So many games that I was a little reluctant to know to be 624 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,800 distracted from my professional game reviewers world like having 625 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,500 to play one game in seven days. So maybe for the next week, I 626 00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:14,800 mean it's going to be unfair for us to select Apple arcade games 627 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,700 all the time. Yeah, because people might not 628 00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:21,000 have apple arcade know so I think we should take like Maybe 629 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,400 once and then yeah, then I'll be down for that. 630 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,700 Yeah, so maybe maybe you picked the next pick on Apple arcade 631 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,300 and we shall play. Maybe I shall but you have to 632 00:35:31,308 --> 00:35:36,800 wait until next week to find out until then play along Mario Kart 633 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,400 World Tour. Be sure to link your Nintendo 634 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,900 account before you play for no reason whatsoever follow us on 635 00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:46,500 Instagram and Twitter at seven days to play and we will see you 636 00:35:46,508 --> 00:35:49,000 next week.
