Steam forced me to play a game I didn't want, and now I'm addicted 

Garlic is great. No, it's not optimal, but it feels good.

​@@DamnDaimenI think thw exact poinr of the game I started being good at the game is when I gave up on garlic 😅

@@zets8238 I will never give up on garlic. Soul eater is my bae and nothing else can replace her. I mean, what other weapon gets stronger the more damage you take until you become untouchable?

Garlic is awesome and I’ll love it forever. That + bible can force enemies away really well

Also clipping out the tower with Infernas is so fun. 10/10 game

@stevenclark1662 I promised myself that I don't need another game on Steam even with Kevin's obvious enjoyment. But then I read your comment. I'm gonna be buying this game. Lol

@@grayhatjen5924This game is free on gamepass for PC and Xbox if you have it, just a heads up

Isn't that dopamine though :)) ?

@@grayhatjen5924 have fun, its worth it (i have 750h+ on it xD)

​@@SplinterCellVideoGameSeriesyeah

I know I was screaming when he ran from the ghosts that his garlic one shot into the other mobs xD

He is equally terrible and infuriating at pretty much every game

Well as far as taking advantage of the weapon, I said to myself at the end that he was better off at the bottom cause the whip attacks slightly above you.

That's why we like him 😂

i won second try in mad forest and i barely knew what the game was

Can't wait to see when he discovers dual guns.

Cant wait for him to find the secret map items to unlock the secret pie trail and find the hidden jojo reference with the evolved knife thrower, followed by him using the knife thrower to kill the “planned skeleton moon” to unlock the forbidden scroll to get the ghost that has the pigeon.

To people who have never played that’s all real btw!

I really like roguelikes but haven't played this yet just because of time and stuff but I have been meaning to play this eventually so maybe I'll finally try when I get the chance!🤣

Same. Cities skylines, I'm looking at you

Just wait until this game becomes his main content, like among us did.

[Insert random comment just to get a high spot to replies]

​it's SO fun!

Multiplayer? Hell yes!

Can I see less than nothing in multiplayer and get more seizure? :D

@@rubygraves978 isn't that the point?

The developer used to design casino games. Serotonin overload. It truly show when you get level-ups

Welp the $2 didnt last long, its already $4.99 now

Just-one-more-go-itis is wild lol

​@@samirbelica2358omg thank you, I was like "Justo...nemo..regoitus?" And thought it was some fancy word I'd never heard lmao

I thought it was peach-one?

Peach-one sounds like pigeon. I think it the game way of making a joke?

@@jibrilevans7428 peachone sounds like "piccione" which is pigeon in Italian. And yes there are a lot more jokes and puns like this since the developer is Italian

ADHD in a nutshell

@@faithnowlin1697precisely

They just recently made this a mobile game as well

@@faithnowlin1697that’s just what I was thinking because I’m the same way

​@@DjUn1versalomg YES! Wait I mean NOOO ! 😂 Can't wait to get addicted

I also loved how that journey was made up of similar, smaller steps: "I'm not sure about my pigeon friend" >>> "Oh man the pidgeon does numbers, mess 'em up, yeah!"

Only to later realize, betrayed, that garlic is a newbie trap, that is until the redemption arc provided by Arcana and limit break, that it’s their true mentor, their guiding moonlight all along.

@@chaoton Neeeeigh?

@@BrentDubroc Indeed

@@chaoton false even without those garlic is still a beast it just is an amplifier for other items

Too bad he never bothered to unlock the 53 other characters.

I’ve only played this and halls of torment. Been looking to get into more games of this genre. You have any good suggestions?

​@@kirbyjoe7484might want to wait a bit on holocure, it comes out on steam for free on the August 16th

@@oban6051 Here's some of the best I've played and would highly recommend: Soulstone Survivors: had a recent update, has a neat meta progression system with different arenas to collect different resources for crafting new weapons for each of the characters, with a very large web of unlocks that makes the game very replayble Spirit Hunters Infinite Horde: Very similar to the OG vampire survivors, but with a much more vast unlock system and meta progression, it took me more than 3 times as much to 100% this than VS, so if you enjoy grinding, this one's for you Spellbook Demonslayers: Has a really interesting metaprogression system that allows you to alter the passives you find in your level ups, allowing for infinite replayability 20 Minutes till dawn: super challenging, with some really tense boss fights, this is the closest you'd get to the "dark souls of bullet heavens" Bounty of One: has an interesting mechanic that you only fire your weapon when you don't move, and you only obtain passive upgrades to your primary weapon, which differ from character to character Project Lazarus: the only mech bullet heaven I've seen, has an interesting system of each mech having a different amount of slots for each type of upgrade, eg weapons, passives, however can be a bit demanding on your hardware depending on your setup Vampire hunters: a first person shooter still in its early days where you assemble guns to shoot enemies in an endless corridor while being chased by a moving wall Nomad Survival: like Vampire Survivors but no limit on how many weapons or upgrades you get, adjustable game speed and special side challenges on each stage with a recent update that added some super challenging end game content. RICE Repetitive Indie Combat Experience: a very tongue-in-cheek take on bullet heavens, killing planets for upgrades and upgrading weapons by combining multiple copies of them Rogue Genesia: While it does feature a standard 30 minute Survivors mode, the real beauty of this game is the Rog's mode, which takes you through a series of Survivors-style levels as you progress through a map, acquiring weapons and passives on the way. Bonus arena fighters: Brotato: buy weapons and passives in between rounds of killing hordes of enemies playing as a variety of different potatoes with an awesome modding community Neophyte: an amazing arena horde fighter filled with magic spells that you can equip exactly how you want, and a myriad of unique abilities to create an endless amount of builds to keep you coming back and back.

Holocure is supposed to be coming to steam with it's next update on the 17th.

Get the garlic before the seasoning police arrives 😂

Neat.

dude, garlic + birds+ guns because of the magic girl skin+ axe+ whip with the white one+ bible tho all evolved is mad in late game

​@@patmccarthy7907try santa water, birds, axe, fireball, and magic wand for early game the birds and santa water evolved are too op for late game

@@patmccarthy7907In my personal experience, Garlic is phenomenal early game, but quickly falls off to almost useless in late game

Yeah, higher your standards

@@markuss4133 I don't think you can hire standarts...

@@markuss4133 Awful bold to say from someone who is of no standard at all lmao

Trust me. I was the same way. Thought it was kind of a meh game. Started playing. Have several hours lost to this addicting game.

Just like me being addicted to Kevin's content

Yes this dumb ass game is addictive, it got me too. Dammit now I’m going to have to play this again

Is it though? How often has it happened aside from Idle Breakout...?

Im glad others understand

daje Roma

or less videos in general as he sinks deeper into the addiction?

I hope so!

​@@salleesamaybe he'll stream it lol

I hope so because I am now addicted to watching him play it. So many dopamines and seratonins.

yeah I'm addicted to his personality

But sims video are the best lol, im my opinion

I’m new here and I agree 😂

UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Font

SUCH a shame it's single player

What meme 😅 yes I got a dopamine when he said dopamine instead of serotonin!

I’m glad I’m not the only one infuriated by him saying serotonin instead of dopamine

and then you realise king bible is infinitely better than garlic late game 😂

@@osamabinlaggin69 Yep. I prefer Bibles over Garlic.

yes! I am loving them too

100% Agree, my steam library is becoming "games I have because Kevin makes literally everything he plays look like the most enjoyable thing I've ever seen"

And best of all he calls most of them weird!🎉

I beat the game but now Im trying to win every map with every character just for fun. Truly one of my all time favorite games

After 40+ hours you know Garlic is kinda garbage though lol

@@Casketkrusher_ EGGGGGGGS! EGGGSSSSSS WILL MAKE YOU APPRECIATE GARLIC AGAIN! Because the game wont lag like hell lol

@@Soeck the game lagging sounds more like a pc issue lmao

@@Casketkrusher_ Oh absolutely, even the evolution is pretty garbage after 15 mins or so, its great early game though

Later in the game when you have all the difficulty modifiers it struggles to hold everything back on it's own, but combined with the fully upgraded garlic it's one of the most OP combos because of the pushback debuff the garlic applies. Getting those and fully upgraded santa water lets you just stand still and walk away from the computer with no worries

Bible is great when it has max upgrades, unfortunately it starts very weak. While garlic is great for farming xp early game.

it's great but not comparable to santa water once you get to the point where ennemy have a lot of curse !

unholy bible + soul eater + La borra = ultimate lawnmower

​@@iamtired5440or just get Sammy so you REALLY don't have to do anything lol

Yeah I got the mobile app cause I was board and spent like 120 hours 100% ing it

the duplication power up, plus the duplication ring, plus bony boi, plus max level bible. It will put the fear of god into your enemies.

@robonator2945 it's almost like a cheat code for the game.

Helps that Level 2 is the easiest level.

^ THis

Did you ever go from the stage of thinking garlic was the only way you can win to never getting garlic ever?

'Curled up' on the sofa smiling sounds sinister

@@bradleymoore2797 Why would you not get garlic? I mean, I personally live my life playing 1 weapon and grabbing Divine Bloodline with the arcana that increases CDR for every empty slot...just on Poe.

this is the comment I came to find. So much Castlevania in this game.

@@mariahminner1334 I think the early versions even used sprites ripped directly from Castlevania until they were changed for copyright reasons

For me the game can be summed up as, Castlevania meets Gauntlet, with a side of SMASH TV.

Yeah, I immediately got a Trevor/Richter vibe when I saw Antonio.

​@astuteanansi4935 I think it was always Ersatz counterparts juiuust legally distinct enough but they upgraded the designs to be more unique

But that garlic tho 🤭

Same here. Then I saw that they released it on mobile and them hours went from 100 to 500 since I'm on the train a lot

It's one of those rare games where the existence of achievements makes it EASIER to stop. For most games you're done and then you grind 20 more hours to complete inane achievements, in VS you feel at piece when you get 100% achievements. After that, we can rest.

669.5 hours .... it not that addictive.

I've spent just over 100 hours in Cyberpunk, so that is actually crazy.

and the upgraded bible... death-barrier and killing aura for anything that gets PAST that deathshield.

....for the early game. it becomes significantly less great once you get meta progression and some golden eggs

@@briannelson27 it's evolution carries in hyper levels, constant healing especially on miang if you own the dlc.

@@DevilJhoMama i have done solo weapon runs and run each character in all dlc. garlic is horrible for late game stuff. most other weapons don't even allow the enemies to get to you, so healing is useless. when the weapons are so big that you can't see the level anymore you are safe.

@briannelson27 yeah it's not strong enough to kill everything, but it is strong enough to keep you alive as long as you have another source of damage. It's especially powerful when paired with the evolved whip and or evolved bible.

Add axe since it's powerup req (chandelier) increases area size.

There are some disgusting area denial builds in this game, and I think La Borra (santa water and attractor iirc?) is heavily slept upon.

@@davidrosensin7985 La Borra used to be the most OP thing with characters that add projectiles on certain levels when I first played it. Plus there are plenty weapons greatly benefitting from AOE.

@@brohvakiindova4452 I'm just saying that there's some stuff you can do in that game that is just pure area denial. If you run 5 weapons things can get out of hand very quickly, but even JUST La Borra can carry.

Yeah eventually once, I had so many bibles orbiting me that it became literally impossible for me to take damage. Wherever I stood, enemies just kept walking into my shield of bibles and dying. That was a fun round.

That sounds like it's closely related to the concept of fuzzy logic. Terrifying to die to that many bats though, RIP

Absolutely based pfp!

@@captaincaspian42 ikr lol

I'd say the limit is around 20 bats.

Oh, bats are one of the biggest cariers of rabies. You only need _one_ bat.

Remember that time you get your first evolution and you're like "Wait...what?" only to find out every weapon (with a few exceptions) has one?

Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world . I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask

That is called Tetris Syndrome, friend

Does Kev know anything about VTubers, let alone Hololive specifically? I always find it funny watching the reactions of people who know nothing about them trying to work out all the crazy references, like Maximilian playing Idol Showdown. (He ended up liking Botan the most because she is cool and has the power of GUN.)

Halls of Torment pretty fun too

@@MrBertie7 Should look into Army of Ruin

Death Must Die seems like the one for me. The genre variety is pretty awesome too, right now

i prefer a little game called holocure

I hate this genre... I grew up playing games that actually looked like this... screw nostalgia... I want realism and graphics.. physics etc

I didn’t even have to watch a video for DangerouslyFunny, just saw the names for them, and yeah that guy is definitely Gray at least.

nope they just all chase the same trends and you're so simple that you worship them for it.
