There should be also really cool combinations of level effects, items, weapons/spells.basically look at binding of isaac or hades.ģ) Maybe add armor/robes.or other permanent items that grant power and/or grant awesome abilities like floating, teleportation, etc.Ĥ) Cooler arenas with distinct area visuals. Ziggurat wasn't bad in this department but I felt most of the arenas were all a bit too similar in their feel/theme.ĥ).

These types of games by nature are repetitive so anything that improves building a unique character/playstyle/skills/etc is key, at least for my enjoyment.Īnyways that's the main stuff IMO, I enjoyed the first game and hope the 2nd takes the formula to the next level. The concept is great but some of the core game mechanics needed more depth and complexity.

Originally posted by Soy1Bonus:1) Any game you would like to point out as reference? We're doing our best to improve the impact of all weapons, but without guns or melee weapons is not easy to convey impact.Ģ) Hades only has 6 weapons (similar to Isaac, in which characters only have one starting attack pattern) so they have to make it up with tons of wacky modifiers. In our case is a bit harder to balance everything with so many weapons. I'll check Hades, though, I'm interested in how they manage certain rogue-likish things.ģ) Each wizard has a special skill on a cooldown that has an effect similar to what you say, like a 'force push' ability. So the ones you suggest could be implemented as a skill for a character.Ĥ) Hopefully well get to those during the Early Access period. We wanted to focus on getting the core gameplay loop right and then pumping out content (ike we did in all our previous games). We want Ziggurat 2 to be as good as it can be, so thanks for all the suggestions!ġ) I think just in general the look and feel of weapons and their effects. It's been a while since I played Ziggurat but I did go watch some let's play's to refresh my memory.essentially the weapons felt functionally very similar and the projectiles didn't have much in terms of particle effects and/or impactful sound effects. I guess I would just like to see cooler looking effects like:Ī) lightning attacks that crackle and have nice electrical arc effect and cracklingī) fire with embers, smoldering, oily burn areas, etcĮnemies also didn't really respond to being hit.
