Can You Beat A Roguelike On Your First Try? 

The rain are the tears we dropped along the way :D!

But there IS rain in ROR

@@cumcer6140 Then that promised risk is tangible.

Risk of rain 2 is an incredible game and I challenge anyone to attempt a no damage time attack run with the sword boi

@@DirewolfMementostill haven't gotten slicing winds i hate it

I like how bro took 14 minutes on the very first level lol that was definitely a bad sign. Also he ditched the shield when they are the best in my opinion 😮

I beat dead cells 0bc on my second run when I got used to the enemy patterns and continue playing it since so it’s one of my favourite games 😊

nobody will EVER believe me but i did somehow win my first run in dead cells, probably with sheer luck cause god damn

i almost beat deadcells on my first run, i had no idea what the fuck i was doing but it worked

I beat dead cells on my first run. I got some freeze powerup and it made the game a breeze lol.

The crazy thing is, that piece is called "They Might As Well Be Dead." It's the calm before the storm. The title is condemning the player themself.

I was just about to play Ror2 and i heard him try it, you cannot beat risk of rain 2 first try. No matter how good you are, you just cant, also cuz commando is trash and huntress is mid

The best part is that a lot of the times, stage 1 and 2 are generally manageable from the perspective of a new player. i think Hydrophobia (soundtrack) combined with the introduction of an imp overlord perfectly encapsulates the feeling that you are not the hunter; you’re the prey.

Also Skul the Hero Slayer, can't forget that one

Also also; FTL is an amazing roguelike. Amazing soundtrack, fun gameplay, brain hurt difficulty. Get it. Trust me.

Also don't starve is kinda a rougelikeq

​​@@springfaux6991 well it has aspects of a roguelike but it's an endless survival game like Minecraft or Terraria but with no end goal unless you set 1 for yourself. There really isn't an end boss unless you're playing the original adventure mode which your goal is get to Maxwell. Even so to get to adventure mode you need to start in survival mode and then find the portal.

could also do crypt of the necrodancer if they wanted.

Yea, Issac's "final" boss in a run gets later and later the more runs you've beaten. Theoretically, you can fight mega Satan on your very first run via a sacrifice room. Still not the "final" boss of a run potentially though, thanks to Delirium. Others, like Mother or The Beast though, while being final bosses of their respective paths, would be impossible to reach. Most Roguelikes also have the true wins being on higher difficulty settings that are locked behind NG+ type scenarios.

Kolmi? Are you also a fellow Noita fan?

I made it to the final boss on my first try (not counting heart cuz that's literally impossible to unlock on a first try, and I don't think that was even in the game at the time anyway). I forget the name, The ascended? That bird one that fully heals after being defeated one and buffs itself every time you use a power. 2nd try an elite int he 2nd area got me. That stupid goblin chief or whatever its called that summons backup, buffs them (and itself), but has that stupid 9x3 attack at base level which buffs really fast. Honestly I still think that thing is broken and I'm pretty sure it got nerfed since then too. Honestly though, Slay the spire is my fave game which I dislike so many things about. I don't like the art style, I find the music to be completely boring (except the heart boss), I hate having to shoot myself in the foot just to be able to fight the heart boss which doesn't really benefit you at all anyway, I hate having to toss most of the card rewards to keep the deck small to be efficient because frankly having a bigger deck is just more fun =P But the game is just so good anyway. blah =P

​@@Ghalion666 yap city

@@slowestbrain i should rename my friendgroups server to that

@@cometisV2 sure 🤑🤑🤑

​@Ghalion666 The bird is the Awakened one. as for the the Gremlin Leader, the x3 attack only has a percent chance of doing the attack, based on how many gremlins are left alive. The trick is that it's testing your deck's AOE capability.

It might be possible to beat your first run but you'd probably need to know about weapon evolutions beforehand

@@dargon_not really u kinda need evolved laurel to not get insta by reaper

@@marcelgit im assuming winning here would mean making it to reaper

@@sighmon5640 yeah (I didn't even think about trying to defeat reaper on your first run)

the game is good after 50 hours

that's not what vice versa means

@@samueldykes2938 he probably means etc, etcetera. But yeah, vice versa means "it work the reverse way," so definitely not the right way to use the word

Same here, this was on my recommended and since i love Rogue-lites/likes it pulled me in to see how he would fair against some of these.

there is rain tho on the final stage, it rains.... :c also seeing him go into tp event with zero items hurt my soul

It rains on Siren’s call and on the moon, but yeah. That’s why it’s called Risk of Rain, not Raining Risk

daym y'all are right i guess i don't pay much attention to my environment LMAO, too busy dying i guess

@@tibodeclerck3331 Yeah the zero items is a cuphead guy moment, especially since he had over $500 by that point. Chests cost 25 on the first stage, there were several purchasables in clear view, some that he walked right next to.

It’s called risk of rain because it’s an idiom for chance, nothing to do with actual rain

So is this.

@@person_on_the_internet_as is this

​@@silaswarren8418same with this one

Much love 🎉 amazing comment

For the algorithm!

The drop at " I should've listened to the rest of the soundtrack" was muy perfecto

Chris Christodoulou is an incredible composer, he's half the reason I love DEADBOLT so much

@@dorktriogamer2865 it made me laugh very hard. Literally perfect.

I beat slay the spire in my first run. Unless you make ridiculous choices (A deck of clashes and wild strikes for example) you really can't lose ascension 0 ironclad.

​@@lovingpigeonmate you are cracked out your mind

​@@lovingpigeonrespect

​@@lovingpigeonNo need to be condescending just because you're good at the game.

@@jage1559 I don't mean to be condescending, though what I said kinda was.

He is underunderrated

underunderunderunderrated

Well he isn't really underrated, just not very popular _yet_ (tho we are on good track for 100k subs!)

ong

There's a video of a guy who actually beat the game without any of the upgrades.. kind of crazy

@@deidyomegahe had 100s of hours of experience

​@@niconeedsanap8130Yep! If i implied otherwise I apologize. He was a pro at the game.

@@deidyomega the video was kind of about having no experience so i thought it kind of contradicted

​@@deidyomegaas the other person said it's not quite the same, but for anyone here absolutely go check out the run. i believe there was an ign videos with devs reacting to the world record first run on the file

Surprisingly well? After seeing his skills in Slay The Spire, I absolutely expected him to win. I also had a pause of about 2 years of Isaac. But the thing is, playing Isaac is like riding a bike, you don't forget it.

Yeah. Hades follows up with that, along with most other rouglelikes. The idea is you unlock more and even gain buffs after a run, win or lose. Heck, let me add DeadLinked to the list, where it IS possible to beat in a single run... but dear god it'll be hard. That said, the game's tutorial, if not skipped, will kill you in... the first 5 minutes.

she kinda is bc she has an ending

it is AN ending to the game yeah, it gets 100% harder though after that fight and playing again

Getting other endings would mean replaying the game so ending at Mum is good methinks

I think he was doing base Isaac. All Items I saw, and all bosses were rebirth only.

@@Repetitivestrain-of2zyrebirth haves mom heart, dunno about it lives and issac. Trust me i have rebirth waiting for a steam sale to get after birth and after birth+.

Some are possible, Peglin probably takes top list for that since they already provide everything needed to have an easy win

its not impossible, i did kill mom on my first tboi run but i do have like 400 hours in gungeon so i don't count

Yup, it's absolutely fantastic

yet the game bad :(

You win by killing everything before it kills you lol. Just take as many scrolls of the same colour as your weapon as possible and keep your eyes on the enemies.

@@xerfrex7869 is there Like a Final Stage? I got thru 2-3 Bosses, but not mutch further

@@mymax1267there is it’s the right hand of the king if you beat 2-3 bosses you shouldn’t have been far off

@@aturtle5830 thank You, i didnt want to Go thru the Wiki or so and Spoiler me by looking up ending or so

@mymax1267 there’s also several difficulties to the game, so after you best the game, you can start over on a different difficulty or “boss cell.” The game truly ends when you beat it on 5 boss cells and get a special ending

Woooooo yeah
