A Tech Magic Fueled Risk of Rain 1 like? Yep! – Commander Tiberius Troubleson Demo –
9Commander Tiberius Troubleson is an Indie, Action Sidescroller with Randomized, yet handmade lvls.
So, an Action Roguelite that is Non-procedural, yet still has different lvls each run? Ok.
A Risk of Rain 1 like?
Think a bit like Risk of Rain 1, with a similar look, movement, and shooting pattern, but taking place across many different maps as you clear, not ones that constantly throw ever tankier monsters at you until you crock or manage to clear.
Unlike Risk of Rain 1, here the respawns are limited to the mana pumps, so there is less of a feeling of being rushed.
Also, In Commander Tiberius Troubleson, the special attacks are not limited by cooldown, but by both mana, and total number of uses, though they are much more powerful here.
Think piercing freeze rays that lock down foes, volleys of missiles that pelt an area, or aoe ground pounders; the Sci-Fi magic is strong with this one!
Mobility Focused Combat:
In Commander Tiberius Troubleson, right out the Sci-Fi gate, you have a 3X triple jump, a dash on a 1 second cooldown, and can run around all you want, absent any sort of stamina system to slow you down. Why? Because it the Future!
Also, you’re some kind of super commander who can use super SciFi Techno-magic, so your main gun doesn’t have to reload, and you have unlimited ammo.
Also, Super Sci-Fi Techno-Magic!
Super Sci-Fi Techno-Magic!
Your solo offensive limit here is that your super SciFi Space Magic has limits, it costs super cool blue scifi mana, and it has limited uses, thankfully, you can find more space magic in chests scattered around the lvl, along with balls your character is crazy about; you got yellow balls for cash, blue balls for mana, and even occasional red ball hp pickups.
So, keep your blue balls full to unleash your special magic Commander!
Meta Progression:
I left out 1 color of balls your commander craves most of all: the green balls!
That’s right, you have to suck the green balls out of the mega mana pumps; kind of like a golf ball through a fire hose I imagine, but their worth it!
When you die, you spawn in a hub area, along with your collection of green balls.
You can spend these balls at special alters; empowering yourself with their hulk ball energy!
You can increase your hp by 40, your gun damage by +3 per shot, increase mana capacity, 18% increased fire rate (locked in demo), get increased bullet knockback power, movement speed increase; a better dash, a lot of powerful and meaty stuff here.
Those big, green balls are worth it!
So get to work Commander; start sucking!
Controller support is present, as is 2 hands on keyboard, in case you are a fan of that.
I will be rolling with gamepad here, as I found the game far more responsive with a controller in hand.
Note: This is an early look at the demo for Commander Tiberius Troubleson, so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Commander Tiberius Troubleson is a fun Action Roguelite that offers powerful abilities to find and fast movement focus combat, and is easily worth a wishlist and a watch.
