A Strong Contender For One of My Top Games This Year - Intravenous 2 

Xtrullor. So Happy to making an another Awesome Soundtracks here. This Original IV1 looks amazing from these Soundtracks. And the VIP Version, Looks more Gunfight and More Awesomeness. Really Happy to getting good for making these Soundtracks out there, Xtrullor. I'm very proud of you.

so happy its doing good!

was already considering trying this out but now i've definitely got to get this game knowing you worked on it. i remember listening to your tracks on newgrounds a decade ago!

There aren't many good stealth games. I'd include Intravenous as one of few good stealth games. I'll get the second one at some point. My backlog is unreal.

I don't know if its possible but i would love to see a switch port. A game like this would be perfect for switch. Just a thought.

An absolutely incredible game Roman. Thank you for releasing it!!

@@Fellxo_ Self defense problems require self defense solutions lol

Everyone is innocent, till they raise a gun at you

Collaborators

The classic "it doesn't count if it didn't happen during a conversation".

Funnily enough there ARE innocent guards in the game and there’s also guards who are mercenaries in disguise etc The plot of this game involves a corrupt cop which is pretty sick lore wise.

haha, well, if they didn't shoot at him he probably would have spared them too.

LMAO

@@federicomunner8336 the devs responded on steam, they're planning to put fog of war on the 1.1 update

they're adding fog of war as an optional difficulty modifier later

The developer is considering adding that as an optional difficulty modifier

As someone who plays both games trust me even with all the extra information the game is still brutal. Thankfully the dev wants to punish us more and he’s adding Fog of War soon :3

Not OP at all. The game is still very hard and it's balanced around that.

Suppressors just look and sound so damn cool lol

He's barely playing, actually.

Well he wasnt playing well, thats how, haha no hate to the guy but you can definitely tell he was distracted by having to talk

No way

Satellite Reign might be just what you are looking for then. It came out a few years ago and is a decent combination of Commandos and Syndicate.

Not yet ready to bite the bullet but put it on my wishlist on top spot. Care to try to sell it to me outright? How long is the game, how replayable it is...etc?

@@anteshell i'm 16 hours in (first playthrough on "true" difficulty) and i think i've about 60/70% of the missions, what made the game for me is the AI, it's very very sharp for a stealth game. For what i've seen (i don't want to spoil myself too much) it has at least three endings, that makes for a lot of content. If you're on the edge there's a free game on Steam called "Intravenous 2: Mercenarism" that acts a a prologue to this game, download it and play, if you like you'll definetely enjoy the full game

Why only 8/10? What are some of the dislikes that knocked it down a few points for you?

@@kareningram6093 i think i'm being too harsh on the judgement, but: (i) there are some bad problems with 13th and 14th gen intel processors ( not the game's fault but i've read one of the devs saying that for IV2 it is more noticeable than other games); (ii) i've found some AI bugs (pathfind, NPCs softlocking, etc) but i admit that they're pushing upgrades everyday; (iii) the weapon variety and customizing is extremely good but at the end of the day they're almost the same judging by categories (all rifles are pretty similar, just like the shotguns); and some other minor stuff like the graphics of some objetcs (example "compromising material") are hard to see in the level. Don't get me wrong, as a pixelated stealth, top camera game IV2 is a 10/10. As a game, in a universe where witcher 3, Skyrim, Hades, Legend of Zelda BoTW, etc exists i think it is a 8/10.

If you like stealth games you might want to try Invisible, Inc.

They are in the tiny cars.

Rock and stone brother

Have you ever seen a stealthy dwarf?

that's why it's only a contender.

@@8104 "Have you ever seen a stealthy dwarf?" is that a trick question?

@@IndustrialBonecraft the devs are planning to add fog of war on the 1.1 update

Apperently the Devs are working on or considering a FoW option. Although, the immersion is broken just due to the fact that it is a 3rd person game in the first place and I doupt that will get any options anytime soon. Dishonored is the only first person stealth game that I can think of but that breaks immersion in other ways.

@@sithalo That would be great, because as it stands right now, with you being able to see and ambush every enemy, I would completely scrap any stealth or caution, and just Rambo the level in no time.

@@Syrin23 Rambo style is difficult like hell. Even with body armour, enemies at Throwback Difficulty can melt you in less than 1 second.

@@twilightsparkle2764 Oh good, I am glad to hear that

That's kinda necessary due to gameplay purpose. Consider the fact that enemies can see you standing still in dark from far outside your screen, you will need information about them. Actually when making Intravenous 1 the devs says they consider an Fog of War option, but that makes game unplayable. If you interested, you can download the demo and set the ZOOM level to the maximum, that is similar to what you want.

Fog of war is going to be added as a difficulty modifier in a future update, so what you are describing will be in the game eventually.

Never heard people talking such things about soulslikes outside of the discussion about the official nomination for Elden Ring.

Intravenous 2 is truly the Dark Souls of HotlineMiamiLikes.

go buy it

@@ancientsociety79 the first playthrough on "true" difficulty will take somewhere around 20 hours, and the game has at least three endings, makes for a lot of content

On the other hand, it's also really fun to be able to plan around all the obstacles that you can see. Toggle option would be the best of both worlds.

I did too. Already had it wish-listed after playing the prologue, but when it showed up on steam new releases it was already too late.

Nice try, weirdo.

Glad someone else noticed

If you play higher difficulty or choose it on custom they do
