There is not any strategy to get round it. I’ve to, within the strategy of developing this submit, write the title “Slopper Johnson: Graviton Agent.” I do not like the texture of it in my mouth or in my mind, however as a recreation, Slopper Johnson is simply too attention-grabbing to disregard. It is a roguelike by which you assemble your actions throughout fight by wiring collectively modules as you’d with a modular synthesizer.
Here is the brand new trailer:
Roguelike deckbuilders usually have the sensation of making a damage-dealing engine along with your card talents, but it surely appears extra literal right here. The completely different modules you possibly can append to your rack can both generate vitality, modify it, or spend it to assault your foes, and you will be deciding what modules so as to add, swap out and the way to wire them collectively. From the look of it, it additionally jogs my memory of assorted Zachtronics video games.
It appears you may also use your equipment to maneuver forwards or backwards in time. In observe, this seems to be altering the flip order of assaults, letting you skip enemy strikes or grant your self a number of alternatives to strike.
The remainder of the sport’s construction ought to appear acquainted in case you’ve performed the current spate of roguelike deckbuilders. You are advancing by way of a “world haunted by everlasting storms,” rendered with splendidly grungy pixel artwork, however in observe this takes the type of visiting nodes on a procedurally generated map to struggle no matter baddies you discover there, as per Slay The Spire and its ilk.
My solely actual downside is that the title “Slopper Johnson” seems to be the precise reverse of “cellar door”, . Fortunately there’s some hope there, too: relating to the title, the developer commented on Twitter that “the ultimate choice on this respect hasn’t been made.” For now, you could find out extra about Slopper Johnson: Graviton Agent over on its Steam web page or on this longer video.
