fuckin...

Overload has a much steeper difficulty curve than its predecessors

as in "Level 3 is kicking my butt"

additionally, theres the fact theres no lives system

you die once, its game over

Descent wasn't like this

@azushark That sounds unnecessaily harsh. Is it a recent release?

**Annika, the Local Shark(s)** @azushark@computerfairi.es · 2019-02-02T16:38:37Z

@BatElite was released May 31st last year so yea

it's not impossible, it's just definitely made with Descent veterans in mind

I'm playing on one difficulty above "normal" (where normal is 2/5), fwiw

@azushark @BatElite god that game kicks my ass

@Chel @azushark I'm not sure if I've played Descent, but I do have Forsaken here which as I understand is similar? Maybe I should try that again? :P

If dying is a level reset that's probably fine(?), but I hope there's no menu guff involved.

@BatElite @Chel yeah you just get sent back to the start of the level with what you had going in

@azushark @BatElite ooo, I hadn’t actually played Forsaken, but there’s apparently s steam version now

I’m a sucker for 6dof games, so I’ll probably pick this up at some point in the near future - thank you for mentioning it

@Chel @azushark (Mind you, I don't know if it's actually any good. :P But if I get it running I might find out~)

@BatElite @azushark it has a very good rating on Steam, so it’s probably not completely terrible, at least ^^
