I can't wait for the full game to be released, because if it's up to the high standards set here, we're in for a hell of a game! Play Block Tales Here! www.roblox.com/games/16483433... Discord Link: / discord #roblox
Crazy how an official Roblox event about the CLASSIC ERA OF ROBLOX doesn’t even have a single game in the event that feels classic, while a random rpg game that actually resembles the classic era of Roblox while also being an amazing game overall blows the entire event out of the water
@@Itsthat_YuAll of the games in the event are cashgrabs that only popped up in the past year or two and aren't even classic, that braindead Roblox players think are the best things ever made.
@@palehead I wouldn't say they were all cash grabs, given how Dusty Trip and Arsenal (to name 2) were pretty high effort. Most of it was a cash-grab, though. All my homes hate Blade Ball.
shout out to all the other people who recommended this to eclipse, this game is a masterpiece and I've been waiting for his first impressions for FOREVER
@Poisonouspeewater Well they are what this game is based on and inspired by (and Earthbound) so obviously they are better, but the game is just amazing for Roblox, especially since it is only in it's demo phase
fun fact the creator set up a few donation gamepasses in a private game before the games release and took them down because of how many people give him money (he goes crazy over it) tea when he recieves 3 robux
I feel like not uploading YBA anymore pretty much culled out most of the 9 year olds that don't know what a good game is. This is probabaly the most likely reason why we're getting more good games recommended.
@@hellofellowbotsss yes but still, they said it’s the reason we’ve been getting good games lately, when we’ve gotten bad games a lot when eclipse was well off of yba
@Sky_Blue_Crew right, thats what OP was saying! After a while, like the 6ish months as youve pointed out, the people who watched for YBA just stopped coming back, and left the percieved demand for Roblox JoJo videos on the channel in Eclipse's eyes. Those videos got views before, so he made them for the money (as hes come on the channel and said). But now since those viewers have been weeded out, the people left want to see eclipse cover good games, and he is doing it because the incentive for making YBA videos is not there any more.
Heres a tip for blocking, the game also has a hidden "defense". it basically decides how much damage you dont take. say if you have 2 defense and the opponent does 3 damage, then you will only take 1 damage. blocking gives you +1 defense for the turn you block on. if you block for both turns, you get +2 defense. use this as you will.
@@user-rj2ks1gn9kthere's a defence up card that costs 6 bux to get and 6 BP to use but that is you know, 6 BP thats something you gotta build around. Also a card that boosts how much defence you get from blocking.
6:05 There is also a perk called "Hard Mode" basically gives enemies more dmg and you and lose the ability to dodge/parry moves but you gain 40% exp gain
combat initiation is overrated imo. it feels like they took a bunch of random mechanics that seemed "cool" and threw them in without consideration to how it affects the overall gameplay loop, and it ends up not meshing well at all.
@@deadstroyer952 hakita put 25% of his life into ultrakill. combat initiation is basically that but with slower movement, and you end up calling it a mesh of random mechanics?? seriously research it before you trash on it
the npcs doing nothing but giving funny flavor text with no real reward is definitely a carry over from the earthbound inspiration side of things. it's understandable if you think it's useless but it's an earthbound staple and adds a lot of charm, in my opinion
Amazing video!!! I'm so surprised to see two amazing games being showcased and hope we can continue the streak. I hope Eclipse will play Robot 64 next because people who haven't heard about it need to hear
Heck yeah block tales getting some love! Honesly im glad you like the game i really hope when the game gets a new story chapter you play it and make a vid on it as well! (also you forgot a little something and its called the pit, in the the starting area after you exit the hotel theres a manhole near the dock entrance and if you drop in theres a tiny hole, after entering the manhole and the tiny hole using the shrink card theres a bunch of rats and a boarded hole in a wall and after entering you can fight through 20 floors of enemie, after 10 floors you get a free ball attack card, at 20 floors you get another ball attack card, also have fun trying to get to floor 20 cuz lord help you against floor 19)
How the hecc did you get past Cruel King bcus he heals every time he calls for help What about enemies that dont even move from their spots at all? Did you just flee from those?
Interesting to see you mention people not liking talking to the NPCs and it being a major part of the game. I'm a bit of a "check everything" person when it comes to games, which includes talking to everyone and seeing their dialogue. The thought that people don't enjoy that kind of stuff didn't really cross my mind.
In the settings, you can change your menu 'flavor'. At a glance, this just changes your GUI, but in battle, it actually changes your idle animation! For example, 'Rose' makes you look really cutesy and hyperactive, while 'Chocolate' makes you levitate.
loved this game, clearly the people did as well as for the first 3 days it released it had a 100-99% like/dislike ratio. Really cool and there's still a decent amount of stuff in this game you didn't cover (secret areas, the rat dungeon etc)
Thank you, Eclipse! It makes me so happy that you took mine and other's recommendation to play this game. I really hope this video helps to get this game the attention is so heavily deserves.👍
It’s really nice that Eclipse enjoys tales about bowls. He really loved hearing about how round they are and what kind of objects they can hold- OOPS I JUST SPILLED MY BOWL AND IT SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
If you like games like ultrakill, or just movement shooters in general, I HIGHLY recommend Combat Initiation. Its a short but really fun roguelike that somehow got buried, because there are only like ~350 players.
Their major update was taking a bit and they had said that their player count will deminish due to how much time it will take, thankfully it seems to be near complete and they still need a couple things to do.
@@kiy8415 That's honestly incredible to hear, one of my main problems with the game is that its too short/there isn't enough content for how in-depth and fun the mechanics are. I don't really care how long they take to update the game, as long as they keep the quality consistent and do this game justice.
im really happy that eclipse is actually playing games he likes playing instead of doing what will get him the most veiws, lets hope some of your other vids can blow up so you can actually enjoy awesome games like this
I’ve played that game it’s good but it lacks a sense of direction I got lost for a while trying find a stage entrance lol other than that mishap on my end it was a pretty good game
Oh that's interesting, the Defend mechanic works kinda like in Deltarune. You sacrifice a turn by "doing nothing" but in exchange you get a defense boost and some energy to use your non basic attacks moves
eclipse, if you didn’t know you can use your sword(or dynamite) to hit the npc that make you fight first before a fight starts giving you the first strike advantage which will give you more damage on your first strike, the dynamite gives you more first strike damage but it wouldn’t usually be necessary. Love your content as always and thanks for making a video on this game!
Your probably not even gonna see this comment but, You should try The Battle Bricks, It’s like the battle cats in the classic Roblox style but a lot more different mechanics wise.
I like this game, good turn based combat, and even the map has things you can interact with, from bux you can collect to buy cards from a questionable individual in an alley, there’s puzzles around (though mostly found near the end) and there’s a pit where you can challenge enemies for some quick cash or experience only after you got the shrink card, it’s a game I think will someday outshine sol’s rng.
Finally, a great RPG game for Roblox! Remember, I just tried and finished this game so quick. It's mechanics are simple to understand and you could have some fun with this game so fast.
I legit just beat this 10 hours ago. I seen a video of when it was not even a demo and was like, "wow, can't wait to try this!". it lived up to what was shown. truly can't wait for this game to fully come out fr.❤
Love this game! When I played it, I thought it was truly awesome. Didn't expect Eclipse to like it so much as well, but the quality speaks for itself. Hurray for good games!
Four things I want to say. You can use the sword, ball, and dynamite to hit enemy npc before they reach you. This gives you an attack boost at the start of the round. If you go back to the ice village after saving the guy with dynamite, he gives you a pie. It heals 30 hp I think. Shrinking helps you get into small areas. Go back to the area with the dog park cause there is something there you get thanks to the shrink ability. There is a place you can fish.
Also there is a pit where you do 20 waves of different enemy’s and wave 19 has 4 statues and all of them can 1 hit you if you take fatal damage it’s super difficult also it’s the final wave currently in the game
one more thing that should be talked about is that the game lets you fight with other players as ONE PARTY you and up to 3 other people can be in the same fight and it's really fun to play with friends :D
My favourite part about this gamw is the ability to indulge my friends in it too, im a loooong time paper mario fan and this just lets me drag my friends in and have a ton of fun
Kinda wish he found this out but changing the menu flavor as it’s called in options changes your stance in combat encounters. It’s only cosmetic but it’s cool. And if you attack an enemy when they aggro onto you, you get a first attack damage buff when the encounter starts.
it's kinda odd though, since playing the game just makes you want to make a classic avatar for it if you can After playing a bit, I made an alt account cosplaying as the knights you fight in Blackrock Castle.
HE DID IT HE DID IT HE RATED THE BEST GAME. Also, me and my partner are planning on making a lil' game for fun and your videos are giving me a lot of tips on what to and what not to do! Thanks! Eclipse play Peroxide
I understand your complaint about NPCs not really being talked to often, but considering it takes inspiration from Paper Mario (64 and TTYD) and Earthbound, where a lot of talkable NPCs don't really do a whole lot outside of dialogue, I think it's fine. Also, aside from the required NPCs (either ones that give you clues or key items to progress the story), there's not one, but TWO people that give you something (I think, forgot if there was more). good vid, 10/10
7:40 Theres actually ONE more NPC that does something If you free the Accountant from the rocks in the Dynamite area, and then go back to Roadtown, nearby the Mayor’s house you’ll see a green guy (aka Accountant Jim) standing by the cabin If you talk to him, he will give you a Whole Pizza (That item heals 50 HP) and get the “A Rock And A Hard Place” badge Though if you havent noticed, in Bizville theres a Job Center building that I presume will be used for quests (meaning more NPCs will do more things in the future)
if u didnt know u can hit enemies before a fight with the superball or sword to gain extra dmg at the start of the fight for ur first atack, this can also happer with dinamyte that gives 3 atack instead of 2 but its difficult to pull off
Block Tales is goated (Happy SP, Hardmode and Ante up should be the cards to buy from the BUX shop if you're playing), it's honestly better than roblox's classic event, thank you SO MUCH Eclipse for covering this game honestly its underrated
Well, if you enjoyed the engaging gameplay then… you definitely would really enjoy the first 2 Paper Mario games! I do know that you have little time, but I’d say it’s genuinely worth your time, as those games are super fan and extremely charming!
You can do hard mode in this game by getting 3 bux and buy it from the shady guy before the red and blue boss fight. The location of these bux are 1 in the arcade the 2nd one in the job finder building and the 3rd one in the cafe. You need to start a new save file in order to do this and if you buy the hard mode badge you can NOT unequip it ever it’s pretty easy to be honest but it adds extra challenge if your up to it! Note: if you complete the game with the hard mode on you will get the badge “bloxxer
Yo eclipse, I don’t see anyone talking about this game at all but I recommend you make a review on a game called “Kapi’s Rock and Roll.” Although the content is still pretty small, imo it’s a great 3d platformer that deserves more attention.
I played this with my friends and we tried to brute force the ice king guy and we got obliterated. It took us a second try with items and coordinated cards to beat the boss that time. This game is so much fun and I can’t wait for the next update.
