[0.8.2|Tech|1|YASD] - I am not good at this game

(1/2) > >>

Moonshine Fox:
After having beaten DoomRL several times both normally, secret ending and Ao100 I figured I was well equipped to give AliensRL a go and see how hard that was.

Let's just say it plays differently. I knew enough to know that wasting ammo on killing workers is pointless. What I did not expect was how sturdy the first hunter pack I ran into were. Three Juveniles completely ripped me to shreds. I even forgot I had medpacks. So when I just barely survived with like 2 or 3 HP I was ill prepared when the last wayward juvenile came out of the dark and put me in the coffin. *whoops*

Speaking of which: Can you close doors again? That would be infinitely helpful.

Thanks! That's not mentioned in the manual though, is it? It says "action", I suppose that's something. I was trying the DoomRL variant of "C" :D

Tormuse:
Nice to see this game getting some attention; I'd love to see some more development of it; I think it has a lot of potential.

And yeah, it's really important to heal in between battles in this game, since medpacks have much reduced effectiveness if you try to use them while an alien is slashing you.  Maybe you could try playing as the medic next?  I haven't played this in a long time, but I remember that character being the easiest.

...And now that I've said that, maybe I'll give this game another try myself.  :)
