This game has a really cool atmosphere, but anybody who can beat it is clearly a god

Buttwangs · 2014-06-08 22:27:55

I will watch that tomorow with Miko I think :O

Odradek · 2014-06-08 22:35:38

Not as good as Actraiser 1, but a good game, I feel.

Imipolex G · 2014-06-08 22:51:39

yeah, ActRaiser is pretty tough too.

Bee · 2014-06-09 01:50:24

The main game in Spacechem wasn't THAT bad. God help you if you try ResaerchNet though.

As an avid fan of shmup super-plays, I am always skeptical when someone says something like this. Speaking of which, if someone can name a "hardest game ever" that isn't by Cave and isn't shitty, I will be very interested.

Klinotaxis · 2014-06-09 13:16:27

i have one thing mission to do in luftrausers and i'm never going to do it

it's like a shmup but without patterns

no it's completely tr00

the only shmup superplayer who I think may be more than human is VTF-INO of the "1 player controlling 2 ships" Ikaruga superplay fame.

shmups are bad because they don't have FOV sliders

That is some amazing stuff.

If you insist, then I am interested. ^_^ Is it on par with/tougher than Battletoads? Also, is it a good game?

I like the art style. The gameplay looks similar to Diadra Empty.

Klinotaxis · 2014-06-09 15:34:37

a lot of the gameplay is in how you move - unlike shmups i've seen you're subject to gravity, and can only move in one direction (the one you're pointing in)

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-06-09 15:37:16

Gravity changes things a lot, yes.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-06-09 17:07:58

wtf how is this game even playable with the torch

It would be good if it were less difficult, in my opinion.

As for Battletoads, that one's reputation has kept me from ever even trying it.

I found Super Mario Galaxy to be hard.

TAS, but, sssshhhhhhh

I have doubts that any other Mario game is nearly as tough as The Lost Levels.

Klinotaxis · 2014-06-10 12:08:05

god, the lost levels fucked up my childhood. level design was way more creative than the first game, in that i couldn't figure out how to get past this particular screenlong void, i think

Imipolex G · 2014-06-10 12:51:43

Bee · 2014-06-11 00:55:07

Just did the Hard mode boss rush on Ys: Oath in Felghana. Galbalan's entire second phase is incredibly cheap and I'm dreading that fight on Nightmare/Inferno.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-06-11 07:11:07

Galbalan's entire third phase was basically insult upon injury, after the second phase.

More than one of the levels is multiple screen length voids which you have to cross with single block sized trampolines. Good times, good times.

nohaynicklibre · 2014-06-11 08:48:09

I don't know how I did it but when I was a kid I beat Lost Levels a bunch of times. I even got to World 9 a couple of times

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-06-11 09:28:42

But there are still worlds A through D, for which you have to clear the game eight times or something. There is no end to that game's insanity.

Buttwangs · 2014-06-11 12:33:58

In Wizardry, mazes are insane.
And you can easily die on your first encounter.

Imipolex G · 2014-06-11 13:23:55

I beat Lost Levels (including A through D) but only by savestating a ton

Wizardry is probably the hardest non-roguelike RPG in existence. :D
