Halls of Torment - 95% Positive Survivor-like

95 positive reviews on Steam Halls of Torment is set to possibly be a vampire survivor's killer this is a vampire survivor's-esque Survivor like what's the genre do we have a genre name yet vampire survivors like walking simulator roguelike reverse bullet hell roguelite farming walking simulator I've been going with Survivor Survivor like not to be confused with survival games all right you guys look Halls of Torment let's jump into this thing I feel like being the Archer today I've got quite a few permanent upgrades unlocked already so don't compare your first experience to mine and this one I actually am going to aim there actually are buttons that I could turn on for auto aim so you could basically turn it into vampire survivors if you'd like we leveled up to get four choices let's start off with some base critical hit chance my total right now for crit chance is 20 somebody described the skeleton dying noise as somebody dunking their hand into a bucket of Legos and I cannot get that out of my head crit damage bonus there we go maybe we just gonna have a crit build that seems pretty good for an Archer for like dexterity build so kill enemies enemies drop experience orbs grab experience orbs level up let's go long fingers experience or pickup range there's some stuff on the map like I just broke some barrels and they contain money there are some more unique ones and some food items that can drop out of these there's a Frasier that you can set a fire set Ablaze this guy's got a shield you think you're better than me this game gets like really really really difficult oh what do I have right now plus 100 damage for a short amount of time and get some of this damage suckers crit hit chance and crit damage bonus for my main weapon or attack speed eight percent for everything or 20 attack speed for my Wayne weapon I'm gonna go up 20 for main weapons sounds pretty serious next wave of enemies the blobs when certain moist noises Al walked into that one damage is pretty serious and healing pretty low oh stack him up for me give me these piercing arrows I love that this guy's gonna drop uh what is it an ability radiant Aura casts light that distributes its damage equally among all foes in its range Arcane splinters shoots short-range projectiles in a vertical spread pattern projectiles remain for a short while dealing damage to enemies that touch them or lightning strike strike random enemies with lightning and stunts surrounding enemies around the target enemies get electrified let's try a lightning strike everything looks and feels pretty solid about this game so far my only complaint is that a lot of my runs feel kind of same same but I haven't really unlocked a lot of stuff and this game's pretty brand new here's my ability I finally made it French fiction virus projectiles in the direction you're facing damage is reduced for every enemy hit chance to apply fragile effect ring blades gross blades left and right in alternation blades act like boomerang's passing the character and then flying off screen multi-hits increase the frequency of Throne blades I'm gonna go trans fiction here I've had really good luck with this one we kind of just shoot out more of these bright red arrows one more thing we can see on our map it's this blue aura tanned thing that takes all of the XP orbs that I've missed across the map and it sucks them up into me I'll head in that direction sure oh we got our own we got another one plus 0.15 projectiles so chance to shoot an extra Arrow good chance movement speed one thing I think that I really do like about this game is that they give you so many enemies to kill that it just feels really good you just mow them down one thing that I don't like is that the upgrade seems so small that they kind of feel like they barely make a difference I feel like vampire survivors the upgrades are really really significant so a if you don't upgrade by the end you're screwed but B if you do you feel like a god longer fingers too this one it almost feels like you could just not upgrade anything and still do pretty okay late games you can upgrade our lightning strike crit chance stun range or damage and crit damage stun range like I said they throw so many enemies at me that AOE is gonna be pretty nice we need to make an exit strategy here if you're not picking up our experience orbs either 30 damage my main weapon or 10 damage for everything probably 10 for everything uh-oh lost time we're on sucker so I said that this is a lot like Diablo I unfortunately never got into the first Diablo I wish I would have but Diablo 2 I sunk so many hours into loved loved loved Diablo 2. I'm really digging this retro style I think they really nailed it all right this boss dropped an item for us to equip quick hand gloves attack speed echoing band damaging an enemy with physical attacks as a 20 chance to deal 40 percent of the damage as Splash damage whoa for 10 Health capacity plus three defense I'm gonna go echoing band I haven't seen this one yet it's a AOE is gonna be good plus one piercing interesting interesting 10 additional attacks I think I gotta try multi-hit I want to shoot more arrows multi had probably also applies to my abilities as I'm seeing uh sometimes we're shooting out three of these red arrows 30 attack speed lightning strike minus crit damage but 30 attack speed I'm look at the lightning and come down so frequently I could just sit here and do nothing all right I gotta do something there are people out there that will do videos specifically on trying to not move during these survivor-like games to see if they can still beat the game I saw somebody attempted on this game they failed horribly crit chance what are we up to now 30 crit chance oh we got ranged shamans now Wizards here's my favorite thing to do in these Survivor games is you do like a circular motion and you try to round everybody up into this death ball I call it follow death and then I just rip shots into that ball of death but of course because of the way that this works the more enemies that you kill the more enemies that spawn in the outside so you have to recreate the entire ball of death which we have done pretty quickly here look at that look at that look at that assuming that this is working the same way as vampire survivors there is a strategy there the more enemies you kill the more enemies that you get so it's not just like you get a set amount of enemies and you either kill them or don't there's a set amount of experience to get no it's like the better you play the better you will do crit damage bonus coming up with ways to kill more enemies faster is going to elevate your game severely once again assuming that they do spawn uh an enemy every time you kill one bigger slimes split into smaller slimes now these guys are tricky because you can't just run through a crowd of them you'll end up walking into the small ones spawning in and another mini boss this guy's got a shield coming to this Fire come on in water's warm idiot fire does so much damage you lost your Shield butt what happened roasted let's get that ability can you guys give me some space here I need to get in there astronomers orbs the astronomers what metal orbs that circle around the player and damage enemies orbs are indestructible and permanent I've had this before have not been very impressed with it let's go Phantom needles fires needles at random nearby enemies in quick succession multi-hits increase attack speed this game does work in a timer so there's a set amount of time that you get to fight enemies until bosses come until New enemy wave spawn and until the game is over oh the meat dogs are coming in these guys uh move in a circular pattern around you which is really really interesting I can't tell if it's harder or easier to kite them because of this circular pattern I think it's maybe a little bit more confusing oh yeah the death ball oh that's good that's good your hitbox also seems to be really really small in this game which I like a lot because it makes dodging feel really really cool when you're just barely slipping in and out of the enemies missed me there where's that hand it's over here let's go for it let's grab it I haven't been noticing my needles but I haven't really been looking either you can see these little purple needles that shoot out five percent crit chance 30 crit damage main weapon go more attack speed for lightning strikes is poison blobs are problematic too okay yep we're doing really really well though last time look at this bro it's got a mace oh God and then the super fast scalys that come in I forgot about those waves it's pretty tough all of the range units I gotta deal with as well they shoot these little skulls at me boss is like going down whoa wait oh oh oh look too soon I got piercing though so I can still hit the boss as well as all these other enemies and just melted them point zero seven percent damage for each missing Health Point scars of toil necromancerous clutch every 15 seconds you summon a skeleton to fight for you they will perish after a set time but their life force can be extended can handle five summons at once or six block strength let's do the necromancer's clutch I need some friends here kind of confusing I guess our guy is looking a little ethereal five percent base crit hit chance what are we up to now 45 almost 50 percent crit rate okay these green skulls that are being shot those are not going to hurt me those are mine 0.6 additional strikes lightning strikes more lightning lightning is going off right now about 13 minutes left on the timer here we got Shield skellies we got the blue shamans and we got the extra large gloves as far as our stats we've almost doubled our attack speed we've doubled our damage crit bonus up 230 percent defense up to eight which is a damage reduction we have zero block though I think block is a chance to just negate damage altogether so I talked about how the upgrades don't feel that meaningful but the fact that we are firing twice as fast now I think the game does a really good job of uh allowing you to level up a lot oh God I will say though that it gets really really difficult to level up around 40. the Fallout for the XP orbs is pretty severe late games pretty standard for a game to make it exponential the amount of XP needed to level up how ice got shipped the dogs are back we let the dogs out now it's about the time that I'm basically just gonna take a direction and go is that really going to be much death ball in here because we just got to focus on not getting hit damage is severe you really really just need to die because that is that's a champion over there a blue guy oh God I want to get over to him but once again you just gotta gotta go where it's safest for you hard to steer this guy will fortunately keep teleporting out in front of me oh no we have 400 oh I walked right into him I killed him he died off the screen all of this is just of course my fault I didn't really level up my block at all and I leveled up my speed instead so we're more into dodging than we are about actually tanking these blows Phantom Rift we can upgrade the needles if needles could still hit more enemies when the maximum range is reached they deal their remaining damage as magic damage in an area around them that sounds really cool I don't know if I've ever had that there's so much going on that I'm not sure I can really pay attention and see them do their thing but let's assume it's really good 20 attack speed on those Phantom needles I see them they're ripping out I mean we're shooting a lot of needles the game is new enough right now that I feel like there's got to be some combination of items that's incredibly busted and I want to find it more tonight maybe we'll get a breakdown of the damage that every single weapon and ability did in the end so we'll actually get some real numbers to see how they performed 10 minutes everybody 10 minutes I need one of those blue hands so that I can get all the XP that I've left behind which is significant we got super blob wave the only way for me to get one of those hands is to travel enough find a barrel or a crate and hope that we are lucky enough to get oh the the blue hand the suck from these crates or barrels oh my goodness hectic I like it though I mean I really like that it is this hectic and there is this many enemies it just feels really good to play feels like I'm accomplishing something it's not like too easy right I'm constantly trying to survive uh-oh uh oh speaking of oh oh I'm gonna do it I'm gonna get out yes I got a shield and some speed boosts Bring It On suckers probably should use this speed to try to find one of those hands I got one I got a hand oh let's level up now if you're saying I guess for my arrows 0.6 additional strikes more lightning it's minus damage per lightning strike but they're pretty much just one-shotting everybody anyways so yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes another hand lucky me eight minutes left what's what's coming Anthony needles damage let's go oh the big dogs and the Lich the Lich is here Lich summons a bunch of these purple skeletons that's fire oh the orbs at me when they when they die we gotta kill this ledge quick can't handle much more of this this is a beating oh no oh I lost the Lich where'd it go there he is you see that Milich identifies as kill them uh identifies as a bucket of Legos let's go base crit chance 10 defense and block strength lame Health capacity and defa now we're going wooden ring crit chance uh oh your inventory is already occupied with the following items okay fine fine fine fine fine go chainmail super lame why do games always forget that we have ten fingers flipping scam dude I got the hand another one level me up baby great chance love it we are faring really really well six minutes left got an achievement for dealing 750 000 damage with the needles look at these crowds of enemies thank goodness for all my piercing oh is it enough I'm not sure it's enough cut through we got to get out 100 000 enemies in total achievement board Slayer one that's the first ouch this game is so easily losable we really gotta be on top of your Dodge game another reason why I don't just like Auto casting I really like the ability to aim where I want to so that when I need to I can carve and exit from The Horde 50 000 skeletons I feel like we've killed more than that just in the last 10 seconds more blobs oh we got super green poison blobs too and the small dogs are back another achievement 20 000 enemies in one run piercing through two minutes left big dogs are back uh yes I got a blue hand oh wow it's getting real tight in here 40 seconds I think we're gonna make it okay smoke too soon completed Phantom needle Mastery I didn't get to read that um all right we did it we made it all right we gotta fight this guy he shoots this homing curse at me and now I have 38 seconds to try to kill this boss until I die I've never actually been able to kill this boss but we are doing some serious damage right now this feels pretty good are we gonna actually pull this off probably not but it's kind of felt like he weren't supposed to kill this guy but maybe we're gonna do it we're gonna do it oh my God I did it no we're still going I got 40 seconds to kill this one now I've never seen any of this I don't know what I'm doing I don't know how to dodge Souls of the Damned ow being closer to when we're doing more damage oh my God we did it we got him defeat the Lord of pain what is this congratulations you've survived the halls of Torment glad we got this on camera first Victory character level 59 I got 751 gold just walking around looks like we get 1800 for surviving and another grand for torment score I don't know what that means we can see the damage in the DPS of our weapons and abilities standard bow 3500 DPS the needles was a little bit higher the needles did a ton of damage lightning strikes pretty decent damage DPS 2600 this is Electrify this is fire whatever Electrify though actually the DPS on the Electrify was up there despite the fact that it didn't do a whole lot of damage total the trans fiction pretty meh necromancer's clutch are summon skeletons pathetic all right good stuff I'm kind of surprised I didn't unlock
