Every Time I Get Hit, the Roguelike Changes through History

the Rog likee genre has expanded changed and evolved over the past 40 years some may call them Rog like some Rogue lights others have their own definitions Dungeon Crawlers deck builders even slot machines but One Thing Remains the Same we all love this wacky genre that challenges us and gives us hours and hours of content and fun today we're going to take a trip through time through the history of Rog likes looking at some of the most famous Rog likee and Rog light games since the creation of rogle all the way to 2023 there's only so many games we can hit but we're going to take a look at some of the most influential primarily in the Rogue light genre the trick every time we get hit the game changes let's get started we start in 1980 with the creation of the Rog likee genre this is Rogue a game that is essentially just a a turn based simplistic uh dos graphic Style game G uh that released in In 1980 this was the the mother or father of all Rog likee games uh it's a a difficult game very hard to win uh and a lot of really wonky uh ideas inside of it we we have a scroll that is titled Ned and I don't really know how to use the scroll either uh there's there's a lot of there's a lot of ideas and and mechanics in this game I just threw something all the way over here man okay come come pick this up real quick we can go through doors and explore the levels uh the goal is to eventually find the exit to the level which is a staircase uh and then there's oh we got a splitting path here and then there's a large majority of um items that you can grab and enemies that you can defeat and paths to find so here uh we have our exit down to the next floor uh but we do have this this K right here which I believe is a a kestral I swing and I miss the Castrol does not hit me I swing and I miss the Castrol has okay well well you know uh this is about how I expected uh Rogue to go and now we move into a game that a lot of people did not realize at the time was a Rog like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon jumping all the way to 2005 unfortunately not a game that I ever played back in the day as I was not really into Pokemon or Rog leges at the time don't shoot me I was like six when this came out uh let's let's explore and see what we can do here with Bulbasaur and Pikachu there's already an enemy right here I'm going to run away I'm going to run away because uh I do not feel I do not feel prepared to to fight this lad oh freck he's cutting me off at all sides okay he he's leaving he's leaving let's let's go this way I'm going to come up here and we're we're going to try to escape into this area I I I have to fight right right I have to fight get in here he missed I attack how do how do I attack I attack that seems good that seems very good I would like to I would like to attack I he took seven damage oh and I also take damage but now we start to move into a bunch of games that you're going to recognize as a Rog likee fan this is Spelunky classic which is the first version of spelunk that was ever released by mossmouth so let's see how well I can do in Spelunky one I don't have a ton of faith in myself uh primarily because boy pretty much everybody knows I'm terrible at Spelunky HD and Spelunky 2 so you would Envision that my Spelunky classic skills that I have played close to zero of in my life uh will not be up up to Snuff either but I will do what I can and I will I will try my my dang hardest can you please get can you please get up this ledge you little freak can we can we do like a run off of here absolutely the the controls are ever so slightly wonkier than than regular spelunk um like running is left Bumper in instead of like right Tri okay fair enough but now we jump all the way to 2011 three more years into the future to birth the game that really kicked off the entire Rog light genre it's Edmond McMillan's The Binding of Isaac the original Binding of Isaac not Binding of Isaac rebirth not Binding of Isaac after birth definitely not afterbirth plus and probably not repentance either this is the original flash version of the game that many players still consider one of the greatest versions of Isaac to ever release with an a nearly impossible DLC in Wrath of the Lamb uh that provides just some ridiculous Eternal enemies that that hopefully will see one so they can just kick my butt and and you can uh you can laugh at my my loss it's a still brilliant Rog likee game now over 10 years old it's it's wild to to even say it hell rebirth is is actually 10 years old at this point too which uh actually just pretty much pains me in every way possible this is really not not this Binding of Isaac but Binding of Isaac rebirth is is really what got me into the Rog leg genre it's what turned my channel from being a Minecraft based Channel into a roguelike based channel so I definitely have a soft spot for Isaac many of you guys know that uh I still have just like an absurd amount of muscle memory in this game as well this is this is the the one that if I was ever going to uh pull off the the no hit run in this series there's a there's a pretty decent chance that that Isaac would would end up being the game that I I would potentially pull it off on although I don't know this this is the muscle memory has died a little bit man cuz I'm I'm I'm struggling out here we're we're good though we are so good little Cube of Meat I'm fine with that I will not be going to a curse room you can you can just suck it to be honest this is good this is very good we have a shop there um I am I am less enthralled about the idea oh freak me man it went right into me it went right into me but now we go into 20 2012 one year later Derek U has decided he's going to remake Spelunky classic and what an absolute Masterpiece the game is a game that I have dumped probably 300 hours into uh and many people have dumped thousands of hours into it's a brutally hard Rogue like everything wants to kill you but it's a game filled with secrets and mystery and all kinds of things to explore uh all while trying to balance your resources and and getting a high score and and just seeing all of the secrets and fun inside of the game it's one of my favorite Rogue leges of all time while I enjoy Spelunky 2 more Spelunky 1 is a complete Masterpiece to release when it did in 2012 I I just want to again reiterate it's one of my favorite games of all time and it's an absolute blessing to be able to sit here uh and and play it for a YouTube video in 2023 we move on to the next floor there's four floors in spelunk with four subf floors for each of those so basically 16 levels uh that you have to go through uh there's a final boss and then there's there's some secret levels too which um I mean short of me having the most miraculous run of all time right here which I can't deny maybe I will have okay maybe I will have but I would probably I would probably not Bank on it I'm terrified okay hello sir little little Indian Jones Vibe with that but we we can stack ourselves oh I have made a shopkeeper mad and this is something in Spelunky one that you uh you kind of just have to do if you're going to get the the true ending of the game is is make the shopkeepers Mad boy there's just a lot of them huh what do you do here what do you do here oh God okay I'm just going to toss some Bombs over there kind of kind of hope for the that's not where I wanted to toss that bomb how about one right there kind of hope for the best okay that's one shopkeeper dead the shopkeepers move uh extremely erratically in in Spelunky one and they uh they want to murder you they they do oh we're clean we're so clean never been more clean give me all your items now that I've killed you I'll I'll walk out uh we're we're what like 6 minutes into the video I'm committing terrorist attacks so that's that's that's good we we got it all got it all figured out so now that the shopkeeps are are mad at me that puts us in a a really difficult position moving forward cuz they're going to be mad at me uh forever pretty much um you can get their forgiveness but the reality is uh they will be mad at me forever and I just have to I just have to to play my game play my game be very cautious and then absolutely murder them before they can murder me which that's basically just the name of the game is it not actually the name of the game is Spelunky uh okay there's a shopkeep right there he do be angry he definitely do be angry as soon as he jumps over there I'm running oh my lordy he's in I missed I missed the entrance for a small second there gave me half a heart attack oh okay drop here's the secret chest which I would love to get if if possible but it requires the the secret key to get the secret chest uh and I'm not sure if you've noticed but I do not have the secret key and this is not a a case of me doing encryption or anything like that I don't have the public key or the private key Either okay um send me up please and send me up again sorry that was my my security major slipping out again okay um I drop I jump very good big spider is a problem so I will blow him up sucks to be him uh a little bit of paste for for yours truly and uh very very clean so now paste allows us to have sticky bombs there's there's the key would have been nice like a long time ago I think I got to do something like this uh oh my Lord he's just terrifying man okay we we can probably his shotgun is gone right so whoa my guy actually made it up super jump okay very good very good I leave I could collect the dog uh which would allow me to gain an extra Health but I I don't necessarily feel a reason to at the current moment we have made it to the Jungle uh despite what uh Guns and Roses said there's not a lot of fun in games in here it's it's primarily just more ways to to die uh but that's that's kind the that's kind of the the Spelunky way hello my friend this is where you you pull off the procedure known as cascading bombs you place a bomb here and then a bomb here this is not possible in oh no it's not possible in Spelunky 2 um I will be just jumping and falling and then going in it went fine it went so f fine why were we concerned we have no bombs we have no bombs I will say that I I think there's a planet in which spelunk okay I was about to say a planet in which spelunk is a game where I could not take damage in it but I was brutally wrong and speaking of games that are brutally hard FTL faster than like comes into the mix releasing in 2012 along with Spelunky it's a game that really helped to revolutionize the roguelike genre by bringing back kind kind of this turn based style of game but implementing real time gameplay into it uh which created this this frantic brutally hard game sure I'll I'll pledge to do what I can thank you for the the scrap my guy send me to this distress Beacon only only positive things can happen from this I'm sure uh giant alien spiders are is real bad I will not be I will not be helping you in each uh sector you have to make your ship get to the exit uh while trying to upgrade your resources and your power and all kinds of things to improve your Shields and increase your your chance for dodging and all kinds of stuff let's Aid this Federation ship um we'll we'll power our our weapons and we'll go so if we look here um we got three power available I can power up our our weapons which is good going to turn off the med Bay for now and divert the power to our engines um divert our power to our Eng just right click to to get rid of your power by the way um by having more in our our engine it allows us to have a higher Dodge chance uh so evasion would go up I think that that's a pretty good thing for me here here's our uh our captain our pilot we can move him anywhere uh but when we're paused obviously he cannot move we do not want him to move uh and our our lasers are going to be powered in up which allows us to to do some nonsense um now there's a highly decent chance that I'm going to get hit here in a second cuz they just launched a missile at me so FTL it's been fun having you this is one of the one of the most brutal games I've ever played I have a 30 episode series on this game I got my first win 30 episodes into it um highly recommend if you want to see more of this amazing game uh we are about to get hit this missile is going to obliterate me I hope I'm wrong uh is not looking good ladies and gentlemen it is not looking good okay fair enough fair enough and now we find ourselves one year later in 2013 with Rogue Legacy taking the Rogue leg genre once again and revolutionizing it with a new idea the idea of meta progression getting currency throughout your game to continue to change and evolve the game to have more mechanics more powers and make the game easier for you while still expanding your abil AB ility to get through the game kind of providing RPG like elements this is an idea that then proceeds to blow up in in future years with games like vampire survivors taking it over but we'll we'll get there when we get there let's unlock the Smithy here um and and see this is now the the blacksmith that can we can get new stuff from uh but I only have 20 gold and I can't really afford any of this because it it cost 60 Gold so now I find myself having to go right back into the dungeon again talking to the blacksmith and doing everything that I have to do um but I don't have anything so I'm just going to go in Rogue Legacy one uh is is one of those games sure I will I will give you all of all of my remaining money I can't do anything with it Rogue Legacy 1 uh taken over by Rogue Legacy 2 many of you may may know Rogue Legacy 2 a little bit more uh bit bit more modern of a game can I kill you I can you're a little scary but I I can't kill you the these spikes in this room are are freaking me out a little if I jump too high I'm I'm I'm banging the old uh the old the old head please give me give me a little dagger right into right into you I'm trying so hard to be good at the game here I'm absolutely terrified of this oh Freak Me nope I'm out nope I'm dead yeah Rogue Legacy 1 was also like a brutally hard game uh on top of everything else especially when you don't have any of the progression that uh I I had talked about and speaking of games that are impossible launching in 2014 Crypt of the necro dancer a turn based Rhythm Rog likee where you find yourself exploring these dungeons while keeping beat with your heart that's on the bottom of the screen the only trick is that enemies are also trying to kill you in the dungeon so I have to be very careful as I attack them that I can still defeat them while Gathering all of the things in the dungeon and making our way through I find that my voice tends to go like this when when I play this game this is a game that I I have actively avoided playing on YouTube because it's it's so difficult it's it's just like the most difficult game to play as a content creator and then there's there's tiles like this that bounce you around you get multipliers if you keep the beat uh so I'm I'm trying to do what I can to to keep the beat here if I can make it out of floor one I will consider this to be a a massive win I'm telling you that I'm not exaggerating when I say that I am just horrible at this game okay just absolutely horrible and so far I'm doing better than I think I've ever done in my life and you're going to go Tyler you fought like four enemies you know what that's that's four more enemies than I I killed the last time I played this game so oh what the freak okay I am not prepared I'm running away like a like a little baby this guy's coming he he's he's coming and he's hot and ready okay he's he's so hot and ready I could have probably put more emphasis on the not he's so hot part cuz that alone raised a lot of questions he's going to crash into that wall man he's going to be down for the count for a second what do you do in this scenario huh okay here's my idea I get to here and then I go down I kill him he's crazy he's absolutely nuts I don't know I don't know how he got so good we are about to run out of I think those red lines mean that I'm running out of time so I got to I got to freaking go dude I think the I think everything's there's monkeys I'm dead no I'm not dead I did not take any damage okay we're we're good expected the game to change right there he's crazy he's he's so crazy making it out of floor one in crypto the necro dancer and you said it would never happen I I'm actually am I secretly cracked in this game I haven't played this in like four years and yet here I am just just bodying along okay there we go I was going to say all all good things come to an end I'm telling you I'm pretty sure that this video is just meant to make sure that I play the hardest possible games and just humiliate myself in 2015 Nuclear Throne dropping uh an incredible little top down shooter Rog likee that then goes on to inspire so many other top down shooter Rog leges such as enter the gungeon for example and and so many others it's a brilliant little game that is brutally hard I believe that I've only so much as beaten the throne once in it uh but it is a game that I I do think is possible to not take damage in right it's it's just got one of those uh one of those kind kinds of styles to it so who knows maybe today is the day uh after I haven't played it in I don't know um like like 2 years maybe today is the day that I I just slip in and and get some incredible uh incredible wins in in Nuclear Throne there are a lot of characters and a lot of secrets in this game too uh and also a a pretty insane modding Community uh there's there's like Binding of Isaac antibirth Style mods for this game um something that I I probably should check out at some point in the in the future but I I have not been blessed with the opportunity to check out uh up to this point more speed walking normal on terrain I just don't really care I guess it's the only one that's halfway decent here though because taking anything related to health in a challenge where I can't get hit is kind of a waste right so I might as well there there's definitely some better options if I intended on on lasting quite some time in this one but for me right now I I can't be I simply can't be bothered take a take a couple crossbow shots big boy you're you're you're a large lad to be oh freak me you got me you got me and I I don't I don't expect anything less now I'm sure you probably expected it as soon as I said it but enter the gungeon is a game that released in 2016 inspired by Nuclear Throne and The Binding of Isaac it put its new twist own twist on the Rog like genre where it kind of introduced this top top down shooter where all of your items are wacky and unique guns with references to other games references to uh movies all kinds of of wacky guns to mess around with and and play with but it also had a a deep lore all of the characters with their own pasts that you have to conquer uh each character basically having its own little specified boss to beat at the end of the game and then they proceeded to go on and and build a bunch of DLC for the game as well uh there's a really excellent modding Community for the game too uh we've actually done a lot of modded dungon on the channel and it's a game that I am uh probably way worse at than what I should with the amount of hours that I've played in it um I do not think that I can beat this game without getting hit but I still love it nonetheless it's one of my my favorite Rogue like games to ever release and it's in my like probably top five or six Rog light games ever made so uh I highly highly recommend it if you do not know the game we are playing as basically one of the worst characters here so I would like to find a a gun eventually to improve our our build here uh we do have a key so we we can open up a chest uh I also have a decent chunk of money so I could theoretically just buy a gun too uh if that's something that that floats our boat but there's not a lot of great guns that we're going to be able to buy from a shop on on floor one here so let's let's do what we can make our way around but this this starter starter pistol is uh is pretty booty with with this character I I cannot deny some of the other character starting guns are way way better than than this oh you got you got some heat packing down there what what are what are you doing my guy getting a getting a little crazy over here I'd prefer you didn't thank you very much okay we know this will eventually lead us to our item room because of the X on the map right there so just just play your game play your game you got it you got it all all somewhat under control another key we do not mind seeing at all I could go back and open up that that one brown chest we saw but I'm I'm holding out for uh Holding Out for a red chest here in this item room manifesting manifesting manifesting the red chest okay fair enough we take a green though I mean green chests are very good so this looks like a passive item is Magic Bullets and what's so magic about our bullets um I wish I knew to be honest with you for some reason I'm very good at memorizing uh items in Rog light games gungon I just have never been able to do it now this is a terrible item uh a squirt gun is not going to do all that much damage for me but we can still use it a little bit uh and and potentially just use it to push some of these guys into into the water and kill them that way um you use what you got right you use what you got uh and try your best to to make things work we're doing fine so far no no damage taken I would like to at least take a peak in this shop and see if there's a a gun that I I could use for the the boss fight here cuz a squirt gun is not going to take me very far uh on on the boss fight I'm going to tell you that right now so we're looking for something for for 48 in here um I mean the machine pistol is is just not what you're looking for man it's not what you're looking for Full Metal Jacket could actually extend this run a little bit um no you will you will have to suffer you will have to suffer through me uh attempting to beat this boss with a a squirt gun okay it's the trigger twins the trigger twins are not that bad they they tend to stand somewhat still so I can I can kind of just Aimbot them with with my squirt gun okay this is going okay the the issue is that our pistol is not very accurate on top of the fact that it has no damage so it puts us into oh freak me we're fine everything is so fine what you were concerned there if you were concerned I'd hate to know what what I was I'm going to blank real quick a mechanic in this game where I can get rid of all bullets on the screen for a second I have blinked again I now have no blanks everything's fine okay everything's so fine you should not should not even be like a little bit concerned uh that's going to be a problem I think oh it's going fine it's going fine you got to kill one of them man you got to kill one of them if if you have any hope of of escaping plus the other one gets heals at the end of uh at the end of the combat so you you really have to kill kill one of them right here get get into to phase two one dead very good he did not gain any heals this this goes to show again I I've played a lot of this game and I still don't know anything going on in it but ladies and gentlemen I'm feeling pretty good about our potential to beat at least one floor event the dungeon without getting hit we we take those we take those and fortunately the game actually gives you uh a benefit to doing that an extra Health which is uh completely irrelevant to somebody like me but now we have the jolter which is actually one of my favorite guns in the game so that's kind of cool it's a very very good one it can help to carry us through uh floor two here five floors in the game I promise you right now um there is close to a zero % chance that you are going to see more than Floor 2 but who knows I mean crazier things have happened this is double vision is an excellent item man it's an excellent item um I have to remember how to use it cuz it's it's an active item right click I don't remember how to I don't remember how to scroll my active items I really don't I I have no clue uh I don't even have a a preset for it I'd like to bind that to um I don't know I'd like to bind it to one this this goes to show I haven't actually played gungon uh since I got my my new computer um so I haven't I haven't been able to to to figure any of this out can I maybe like is there a way for me to hit you from here it's it's obviously like a little tight I mean that this it is hitting him this is so stupid it is hitting him though I mean we we take those we take those okay oh there's another guy here though okay fair enough fair enough uh I'm going to do the exact same thing here this is a miserable floor please get out of here let me leave let me leave I don't want to be here I don't I don't want to I don't want to mess with you I don't want to mess with this either we we're we're now everything is a little it's a lot hotter than it was before okay everything everything gets a little spicy when you get on the floor two and enter the dungeon I still think floor 3 is one of the hardest floors uh in the entire game but floor two it's no joke either okay get killed get killed use the environment to your advantage ladies and gentlemen I mean I could use that table to my advantage too but I I haven't found a good use for that table uh as of yet spam oh God we're good my my fear is immeasurable um and I I fully intend on not getting hit hello friend get out of here that little freak was was buffing the other guy um I don't know why these these birds are here I'm I'm actually I got no clue on that one do I even have I think what the heck is my my key Bing to use an item man use item I ain't got nothing on use item okay that is going to be right click okay we're we're good I know that my key bindings for gungeon are very weird you you need not comment on that I've I've been I've been running these key bindings in gungeon for forever it just takes me a little bit to remember them once I play cuz like they typically have the Dodge roll as as right click and that just feels weird to me so I put it on space and then everything thing kind of just get it gets broken after that this is amazing dude I don't have a key I could try to lockpick it um or on a separate note I could just buy a key right that seems like a a much much nicer scenario give me the good guns it's a good gun it's the the Zilla shotgun okay okay 264 shots in this bad boy legendary gun for us too use get blasted get blasted you can charge the sucker up and and he'll be even the better for you get get DED okay maybe I should not have doused you just just jolt you you just jolt them you just jolt him okay oh my we're we're keeping the Good Times Rolling okay I got hit fair enough fair enough but that just means we get to move one year later in 2017 to my favorite deck building Rog like and really one of the first deck building Rog leges of all time this is slay the Spire a brilliant deck building Rog likee game where you will be playing cards from your hand adding new cards to your deck and continuing to evolve four characters in the game to really just help you uh to conquer the dungeon at hand now this is a game that is not really even physically possible to perform hitless in uh but I am going to do what I can to expand this as long as humanly possible uh fortunately we have some potions here that we can use to to get some help uh if I end up needing said help but I'll at least be able to get through uh the first fight here without taking any damage what do we want here uh if I have discarded a card this turn gain to energy could be very good it is the worst available card here um if I I go choke it could be could be decent riddle with holes also always a good choice a 15 damage card with the potential for more if you get more strength give me the the choker okay choker I I barely know her um that one actually that one uh has has interesting implications that I'm going to ignore at this time kill a strike from my deck and put me into my next battle I am concerned about this one I would like to hit you and then hit you you take a little bit of damage in return um I'm going to end my turn and now things get a little bit spicy okay four damage weaken you six block we're so back we're so back forces me to actually pay attention to what my cards are instead of just uh going absolutely in Sano mode and slay the Spire is a good card don't get it twisted um I would like to add a sneaky strike to my deck because it actually plays pretty well with choke um this will just hurt me so I'm going to not take it although let it be known that I would typically take it there uh do I need Tempest it's a weird weird thing to have in there you know what I'll I'll do it and you can have a a strike for the future now this this obviously puts me into a very very alarming scenario there is not a whole lot that that I can do uh going into an elite battle here but alas I'm going to try my best okay I'm going to try my best this is also possibly the worst Elite battle that that I could go into we're going to end up popping this entr Tropic Brew here in a sec um end your turn the goal here is to use Tempest to burn a lot of Health off of you so so I'm ending turn again this is this is so not going to work okay it's so not going to work it's going to be Tempest well hold on the entropic Brew I want to use in a time where okay I'm just going to pop this okay I have no orb slots I don't I don't know why I definitely thought that that added orb slot okay yeah that's a great point to be honest that's that's an excellent excellent argument that you've presented yourself with and now you're awake and I've done absolutely nothing to mitigate that um pop me the block fill my inventory three Thorns I mean just pop them all you know that this is not going to end up working in in the long run but I'll do what I can we don't carry over blocks so I got to make sure we are we are rock freaking solid on this one and and ladies and gentlemen I'm rock freaking solid um you could take that whichever way you'd like to um 14 damage eight damage I don't know there's there's maybe a planet in which this is doable but that planet is Mars that planet is is nowhere in our solar system okay it's going to be the weakness is really good but hold on okay I have to go with a discard on this then I can go choke no I can't go choke yet I have to then go this that gives me my stuff back this and then this and I still die so God speed see you in the next game welcome welcome to another luck based RNG um impossible to to no hit game but it's a game that I love nonetheless in dicey dungeons a game that released in 2019 bringing the Rog likee nature to a dice game probably the first dice based Rog likee to exist uh we play dice from our hand onto our items in the hopes of the enemies not killing us now in this case I'm going to warn you right now this frog is just going to hit me okay he's just going to hit me so this is a little bit of a a tough one for us um I will I will hit you for six damage my friend I can roll this dice a million times um it is it is not going to do anything for me in the long run because uh you're going to hit me right here but dicey dungeons is a brilliant game with a brilliant soundtrack I highly recommend you check it out uh I've got a lot of episodes of this sucker on my channel and bang and so we move into 2020 where we play the sequel to one of the greatest Rog leges of all time risk of rain risk of rain too now I am finding myself in a very sticky position right here off the get-go with some some very large and InCharge monsters to defeat right here what risk of rain 2 presents is a a new take on risk of rain's time based rogu likee nature where you are fighting against time itself as you look to explore while also trying to get as many resources as humanly possible while you explore the area hey can you like chill for seconds I'm trying to do my intro to this game my guy you're you're really you're really kind of making me mad right here okay and can you stop shooting Fireballs at me this is a game that I have not played a lot of um and I'm also like absolutely miserable at it but it is a special game and it's one that a lot of people coin as their favorite Rog like of all time so it's only fitting that that it should be in here as a a very influential and inspirational Rog like for the uh the Rog like community okay these guys are they're crazy man they're absolutely nuts I mean they're they're they're flinging through the air they're they're doing all kinds of stuff I'm get out of here get out of here I'm terrified oh the Fireballs oh all the Fireballs okay chill you you got to you got to get all kinds of messed up my why are you coming out of the freaking woodwork get out of here can I buy this I don't know how to buy this okay um let's let's go down here okay I took fall damage I didn't know I didn't know you could take fall damage at the game and now we move into the modern era of Rogue likes 2021 starting with a game that has now inspired so many other games to the point where I'm mad at this game for inspiring so many other games this is vampire survivors bringing this new idea of a a horde survival shooter a bullet Heaven by many where you have enemies swarming you and you are trying to collect their experience that you get from killing them to then level up your character and continue to get more and more stats and unlock more and more characters and more mechanics and and all kinds of wacky things now this is not a genre that I really enjoy and many of you may realize that but there's no doubt that this is one of the most influential games in the Rogue space today uh it has really just blown up and inspired so many other Rog likee games as well as been a game that has brought a lot of people to the Rog likee genre uh just due to its accessibility there's a ton of content in Vampire survivors uh and it's now available on so many platforms that a lot of people just just know about the game and and love it and enjoy it and that is what I consider uh to be a very good and influen eval Rog like let's open this chest here uh and and see what we get we we'll get something that's for sure it's it's another another whip I may take damage as soon as I step out of this though please don't don't do it though I think I definitely took damage coming out of that uh but you know what it didn't it didn't change the game so I'm going to say uh it didn't and I'm going to be intelligent and and continue going sometimes the game master he he knows and sometimes he he don't know and when when he know he know and when he don't know he don't know that's just it's just how how nature goes so we do have little uh little puddles now appearing that are are helping us to uh deal a little bit of damage to our enemies which is very nice for Tyler the whips are are flinging in many different directions also very nice for Tyler we're we're still kill oh what the freck that's a lot of bats man that that was a lot of bats okay it's starting to it's starting to heat up the the oven is turned on but the the dip ain't in yet oh my God this is also a game that I don't really think is ever meant to be uh done hitless but especially with uh zero meta progression turned on because I I just reinstalled it today so all of my settings from my old computer definitely did not save um steam Cloud saves help me out in the future okay uh we're running I believe we have to survive 20 minutes um if I survive 20 minutes I'll I'll eat my foot live on stream just no at like a carrot uh There is close to zero chance give me we we need we need something to orbit me I'm going to take the Bible look I know there's a bunch of synergies in this game where you collect certain things I don't know what the freak any of them are so I'm just going to take some things that I know deal some damage I know the Bible do circle around me I think that that's a a pretty important pretty important thing for for us to add here got some new enemies on the screen they're they're terrifying we also have this uh this blue bat I'm pretty sure the blue bat means that he drops a chest when I kill him so realistically that's that's something that I would like to to explore as a a nice possibility can we can we maybe can we maybe kill that bat ladies and gentlemen I think that now the bats are going to to go away and it's just going to be skeletons from here on out and I think that that that potentially makes me even more scared for my future hey you want to Mr Bat you want to die I mean how how many hits does the damn bat take okay he is dead getting back over there going to be going to be a little little tight though a little tight give me give me a a whip upgrade open up my my chest I would love for this chest to to contain something amazing it's an upgrade to my Bible I think is that an accurate assessment of the situation I think so is a king Bible level two for for one more yeah okay yeah fair fair enough that time the the game operator said no but boy am I excited to be here in 2022 finest Rog like game this is Rita a 2d platforming Rog like that really I consider to be uh a true Masterpiece and a combination of so many other successful Indie and Rogue like games taking the the nature of The Binding of Isaac with with synergistic items paired with masterful platforming of the game like Spelunky then taking other Indie Games as inspiration such as Hollow Knight where in Rita your main currency in the game is your health and every enemy drops Souls that then allow you to heal but then every item costs your health to take so it's This brilliant delicate balance where where you're constantly fighting with decision making of is it worth it for my run for me to take this item knowing that I'm going to decrease my HP and potentially cause myself to take more damage it's such a brilliant little Masterpiece and there is still more content coming to the game hopefully uh in the nearby future so here we can see a statue that allows us to spend our hearts for some items here familiar that spawns extra Souls every six rooms plasma core creates a damaging Shield bandana is really really good is really good I'm going to take the bandana here and we're also going to get a nice free relic of the provision bag increase your max HP and increase your damage by a lot but it decreases for each subsequent beaten area um not a good item in the late game but a very good item in the right now so I I am chill with it we will we will hopefully be able to uh Flawless floor one of ravita I get that has been a little bit since I've played Rita but I I have been uh semi masterful at the game in in my past history I have a lot of episodes of this game on my channel if you are interested in a a nice new series to to binge we uh we have seen it all and and continue to see more and more as as the game progresses let's be let's be cautious here anything can go terribly wrong when you enter into a room and that definitely had the potential to go terribly wrong right there in said room please just just just die please just die very good I want to I want to just check for for some secret rooms around here there is always there is always a potential for a secret room I definitely thought that that was one right there I'm I'm horrific at at finding secret rooms in this game there's two kinds of secret rooms there's a regular secret room and then a super secret room uh you'll know when we find the the secret room you probably will not know when I find the super secret room but uh that's because it's it's super secret as we said okay give me this do not get hit by the spikes those can't hurt you anyway send me in this is uh spend the key for an item I don't even know if I want one of these items at the current moment Soul torches give more souls increasing my shot speed uh this is not a good item for me especially not spending a key for it uh Keys being a little bit of a hot commodity in this game but uh I take nonetheless another thing that that the Rita takes from another successful Ro game one we've already seen in this video is slay the spire's Ascension system uh and it's something that slay the Spire truly excelled in was creating this this unique form of of difficulty scaling in inside of a Rog like where once you win it a run you have the opportunity to play again with things slightly increased in terms of its damage just to keep the the highest of the highest challenge uh going Rita does the same thing but it it honestly does it in an even better way by providing you with new content as well as you raise the difficulty um having some unlocks tied to beating the game on higher levels giving you more decision making when you're playing on on those higher difficulty levels it's just good okay I I can continue to talk about how much I love this game forever uh and ever and ever and ever it's it's just a brilliant brilliant game okay I will take another curse uh despite this being not a a great idea we did start with a curse we'll go Souls disappear quicker uh and then I'm going to reroll the shop in the hopes of getting something like a basic damage upgrade still got a little bit before the boss we we'll probably spend a uh another key for for this door right here and potentially grab ourselves another item it will be cursed but uh what isn't cursed in in 2023 am I right send me in send me in what do you got you got a little golden chain the chain meter can go higher is fine um the higher our chain meter is sure we'll take this the goal is to not get hit so not not not exactly an item that that truly affects me in in any way okay we do have a a champ I enemy in this room fortunately it is just a fly so I'm about as scared as I would be if a rabbit was chasing me outside unless we're watching Monty Python in which case maybe I would actually be terrified um okay crits have a higher chance of happening that's a a 50% chance at crits happening it's a very very good item it's a legendary item but as our chain meter goes up and you can see it in the top right here's a secret room um as that chain meter met goes up we get more souls for for each enemy death so it's really valuable having that chain meter able to go higher just allows us to get even more souls uh than than we previously had the opportunity to get send me in send me in simple damage up we take those take those every day of the damn week if you're seeing these beehives and you're like Tyler those beehives look like they may be something for you to take a peek at uh you would be correct but I am not going to do it in in this video if you want to see what those beehives do you can go and check my series on Rita um okay I will take this chest one final good item on this floor it's actually been an excellent floor uh here today first floor of Rita frog leg good item I me it's just a good item lot of lot of stats in a lot of different directions increases my speed combats that speed down that I I took on a curse at the very very beginning of the Run let's fight the boss here the n and we'll see what can happen we took the man Drake so I do have uh I do have this boss starting with a A Little Less HP and I I am happy that it is because my fear is immeasurable I'm just kidding we can probably Flawless you without any issues we do get extra resources if we do Flawless you but you'll find that we get more choices when when we finish this boss it's not just here's your loot it's here's your loot but you have to decide what loot you want um and it's it's such a a brilliant way to do rogue leg games when when you present the player with more choices and less of just here's here's your items deal with them right uh it puts more play back into the player instead of in the Creator so I get the choice of of four things here um which one do I want you don't lose your chain when taking damage is pretty good cuz we have that increased chain um although increasing our luck by 10% that's a nice rare pickup I do think this is probably the best available though so I I am going to take that take this and then I'm going to to pop a little heal right here and we're going to move on no hits taken through uh through floor one here will I get hit on floor two I mean maybe maybe there's there's a chance so now I can spend uh Max hearts in order to increase my my items efficiency uh can make that chain meter go even higher and then make it go even higher after that maybe we also want crits to have a 75% chance of appearing seems honestly like kind of psychotic to do um but let let's go sickle mode let's let's upgrade everything I mean the reality is that I'm I'm trying to not get hit right um so HP is is a flat circle for me I can kind of just take whatever the heck I want and uh getting hit just means it just means who cares right just means that the the game gets forced to the the next one so I'm going to go absolutely ins sanal mode there's a secret room in here let's let's go snag you hopefully get ourselves something nice damages is in a good spot 35% right now with the bandana now increasing it uh whenever we kill any enemy in in the room you'll see there it literally went up 10% when we killed the enemy so it's it's pretty nice right now uh we we hope for rooms with a lot of enemies so that we can kill as many as possible okay it's a room with a ton of enemies oh I'm terrified though I am freaking scared I'm freaking scared I'm freaking scared but I am not taking damage so who's the who's the big loser now I'll tell you who is not the big loser is me I'm not the big loser okay give me all these and uh well I can't do anything cuz I don't have enough Hearts that's that's honestly that's a very fair and respectable Point okay okay things cruise I believe that's a secret room um check me nope he's crazy Someday I'm telling you someday I will be able to find the super secret room it it relates to music for the super secret room um and I it's very hard for me to hear music while recording um I keep my volume actually quite low you suck but now we move into 2023 our current year and brot was one of the games that absolutely changed the gaming industry when it released in June the full release of of brot this was a vampire Survivor Style game which which kind of goes to continue to show you how vampire survival survivors inspired so many different games but what it did was it brought in a new level of decision-making that we just talked about that is so important for these games bringing in this this new idea of as you collect your money you now have this shop where you're balancing all of these stats with items that give you positive stats and negative stats and there's there's so much to to think about and do while you're playing it that it made it a true Masterpiece and it continues to get updated with new content uh there's a whole modding Community for it too it really is just a brilliant game and and one that I really really enjoy uh despite not loving The Horde Survivor genre there's so many other amazing games that released in 2023 uh that should be recognized in in this video but I felt that brot really kind kind of exemplified what the Rog leg genre uh is in 2023 as we move forward into 2024 there's so many exciting titles uh that I'm just itching to get my hands on one of the big ones being batro which is a a poker based Rog like and it's a trend that we continue to see where instead of going and doing topown shooter dungeon crawling Rog likes instead you have these these wacky ideas slot machine Rogue likes and poker Rogue likes and all kinds of weird Pachinko Rogue likes like peglin and Plinko Panic there's all kinds of fun stuff that is on the horizons for the Rogue leg genre and I really don't see this genre ever stopping they're just going to continue to make more and more wacky and unique games and it makes it a really fun time as a content creator to explore everything that these devs have to offer at this moment in time and you already know that I am going to be checking out as many of them as possible we upload a lot of Rog like games on this channel um and I I implore you if you enjoy Rog likes to subscribe to the channel like this video as well this is actually the fourth installment in this every time I get hit the Rog like changes Series so if you have not seen the previous three episodes uh I will have those Linked In the description as well that was my only plug that I I am doing in this video let's not get hit in in brot I think that that is pretty much an impossibility but I'm going to do what I can okay give me this give me this the SMG is at least interesting giving us another another unique gun here are you not you're not a range gun really I definitely thought you were a range gun okay we're we're going to try to get there there's set bonuses you can get on on all of your items here I would like to get some some set bonuses if you may just just to help me out uh a wee bit just let it go H having six weapons at this stage of the game does make the game a lot easier um it is going to start to to get a lot tougher here soon and we're going to have to pull out our Our God dodging abilities which I do not have I I've also not played rot in like 6 months so this oh and you got me and you got me right on Q ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for watching this little history of Rogue likes every time I get hit the Rogue leg gets a little bit older little little bit closer to 2023 really appreciate all your support on the series thanks so much for watching let me know what Rog likes you love in the comments down below I'll see you guys in the next video have a good rest of your day [Music] bye-bye [Music] e
