Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! This week we are down an Ammo which throws Ash off a bit.  We start off with a discussion about the changes to the death system and multiplayer in Windblown.  From there we talk about the most recent updates to Utopia Must Fall.  Citizen Sleeper 2 has been released and Tam shares some of his early thoughts.  Dwarven Realms Season 3 is going on and the game continues to get more polished over time. Bel and Grace talk about the Lunar Awakening event and how it represents this perfect example of why Blizzard’s Design Ethos makes the game less fun.  Path of Exile has an upcoming Phrecia event with 19 new Ascendancies and we talk about the four that have been spoiled so far.  Grace talks about Spirit Swap which is Lo-Fi Beats to Match Three To.  Kodra has had a bit of a revival of Ultimate Chicken Horse in his house as his son gets super into it.  Grace shares her early experiences with Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and we bid farewell to Kodra’s cat Willow.

AggroChat #498 – Rogue Missle Command

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! We are back after a week off last week due to too many being out. When we do one of those weeks missed we have a truly stupid number of topics to discuss, and this week is no exception.  We start off talking a little bit about Xenoblade Chronicles X getting a Switch release date, and Utopia Must Fall the game that you get when you make Missile Command a Roguelike.  Related we also talk a bit about Nodebuster which is going for a somewhat similar thing.  Bel and Grace talk about their experiences with Wayfinder, a game that completely changed its business model from freemium cash grab to buy the box. Tam talks about an interesting situation of being in a deeply collaborative “competition” and how cool those moments are. Ash shares his thoughts about Windblown the new co-op ARPG from the folks behind Dead Cells.  Tam shares his thoughts about I Am Your Beast and Kodra in a bit more detail about Tactical Breach Wizards.  Bel talks about his recent adventures in Return of Reckoning, a fan-run Warhammer Online server that itself has been up and running for a decade now after the official game closed down in 2013.

Topics Discussed:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch Announcement
  • Utopia Must Fall
  • Nodebuster
  • Wayfinder
  • Competitions that Aren’t
  • Windblown
  • I Am Your Beast
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
  • Warhammer Return of Reckoning
