Rank and class as a guild member and adventurer is decided by academics and athletics (from magical community college, magical four year university, magical Ivy League University, & magical military academy), merit, relationship with commoners, services to guild, positive reputation with guild patrons (guild clients who hire guild contractors), connection to nobles and rich aristocracy, recommendation from military or knight order, military strength, good likability with civilians, monster hunting trophies, kinship with guild and guild members, experience, association with guild council and guild officers, magical power, reliability on guild missions, one time guild membership due and monthly guild dues being paid on time annually, compliance with guild rules, quest completion percentage, good relationship with adventuring party, notoriety, fame, adventuring skills, respect from guild colleagues, contribution to the guild, talent, bond with royalty, furthering guild goals, assistance to the state (federation of kingdoms, empire of kingdoms, & or confederacy of nations), & overall effectiveness as a guild member and adventurer.

These are factors for the initial guild test to decide your rank and the annual tests and retakes to decide the merit of guild promotion. Some of these aren't for low ranked tests of F, D, E Class and mid rank of C Class but high ranked tests if you want to be B Class, A Class, or S rank.

Some of these factors shift or widen the economic, societal, & educational gaps in societal castes between adventurers in a system of classism.

Magic Circles: A magic circle is a circle of space marked out by practitioners of some branches of magic. They generally believe it will contain energy and form a sacred space. They believe it will also provide them a form of magical protection. Special powers that rely on the power of traced shapes and diagrams to function. Almost always a circular design. Comes with additional shapes of varying complexity inside the circle. Sometimes only required for a special ceremony. Sometimes necessary for anything and everything remotely magical. It is a form of hermetic magic. Geometric magic usually sets itself up as a type of functional magic. It is frequently paired with ritual magic. Its instant runes when the magic seems to spawn the shapes rather than the other way around. Instant runes are generally involved anyway as the activation of the shape may cause writing to appear. Magic using wands, mage sticks, scepters, & broomsticks summon magic circles that are geometric magic. More complicated geometric magic designs are required for more complicated forms of magic. They are called arrays. The more detailed the array and the more stable the magic. The bigger the magic circle the more powerful the magic effect is. There are different geometric shapes depending on the class of magic the caster is using. There are several known variations. Some correspond to the major schools of magic and some to magical specialization. Combining geometric shapes leads to more complex forms of magic. The most powerful of spells use sacred geometry. His/her/their magic circles radiate or shine cardinal, sapphire, obsidian, opal, amethyst, emerald, gold, or silver.

STEAM NEXT FEST JUNE 2023 ROGUE EDITION

It’s another edition of Steam Next Fest, with a whole deluge of demos for people to try on the platform. As a rogue-genre self-proclaimed connoisseur, this June 2023, I dive into the literal hundreds of Coming Soon titles to pick out at random something that vaguely interests me. As such, this selection is entirely subjective to my own taste and I’ll clarify what each vague category means.

I tried to spend at least 30 minutes per title to see if their demo slice is able to ‘hook’ as it were.

Let’s go!

NEEDS MORE TO STAND OUT

While simple isn’t necessarily bad, I consider these games either being too derivative or not having some ‘spark’ to draw in people who may have already played similar games.

Death Must Die

Imitation seems to be the sincerest form of flattery, considering the game’s basic mechanics being what Vampires Survivor popularized in recent memory, and a UI uncannily like Hades, down to its flourish, besides other things borrowed from the latter.

God of Weapons

Similarly to Death Must Die, this is also one being an auto-battler. It does have an interesting gimmick in that you need to sort your inventory to try activate synergies, but I’m not sure if that’s enough at this point.

Spellshot

Getting upgrades for your bullets for synergies, effects and firing them as you try to kite waves of enemies in a pretty cramped room is okay as an idea. I can see the potential, but it’s not for me.

INTERESTING CONCEPTUALLY

These are titles that have things that draw me or I can acknowledge seem quite fun, but it’s not quite for me.

Acolyte of the Altar

Take Hearthstone, or perhaps Legends of Runeterra, and give it some randomness to get this game. There’s some fun to be had to play around the Beasts’ Rage skills which activate as turns go on, or events that could see you picking up a not quite helpless dog which could potentially ruin your primary gameplan. Deckbuilder enthusiasts can definitely consider this one.

The Black Pepper Crew

With your eclectic crew of furries, pick up bounties and take your targets down. It’s a tactical RPG with random elements as you could pick up some amazing item, or find a godly crew member to add to your roster. I think it controls a little stiffly - which is probably odd to say about a TRPG - which can be worked out in time.

Cards Survivors

Protect the bottom of your screen with the draw of the deck, firing bullets to fend off the horde from the top. It’s got a bit more going for it as you try to wrangle the piercing shots and / or cry out in dismay as the rocket AOE doesn’t clear as much as you wanted it to.

Finely Diced

Imagine serving up dice to your customers. It’s deceptively challenging since you need to hope the dice are weighted in your favour and if they aren’t, you’re forced to send them off anyway and not get paid for your troubles. I blanked out and spent all my money on ingredients and really hecked up my dice faces so uh, give it your best shot.

Knights of the Cross

In order to not be shanked by the Polish, I will only refer to this game as Knights of the Cross. It felt to me like a more story-driven Slay the Spire, which is fine and all. The Live2D jiggling boob physics is definitely distracting, but can be a selling point if you’re into that.

Lucky Island

A cute little spin on a typical sim city builder management game, where you play the slot machine to get resources for your residents. I’m not sure how to really work on the slot machine as I felt it rather clunky to actually utilize, and it’s basically the foundation of the game.

I’d like to take this mid-roll to shill a little.

If you find my subjective list interesting, consider tipping me on Ko-Fi so that I can buy these games for myself and support the devs. Link is in the description as well.

Now for the rest of the list.

TO LOOK OUT FOR

Titles I have more interest in than those in the previous category, basically.

Digs

Alongside another game in this category, you basically get to create your own tower defense map by chunking the path yourself and hoping you get the stuff you need from the rocks around you. You can’t just dig out with abandon, as you will be forced to stop when you hit too much ‘noise’, and enemy spawns can appear just about right beside your beloved treasure.

Let’s! Revolution!

Reminiscent of the classic Minesweeper, you need to flip over the tiles to chase down Lord not-Farquaad. Hope you have enough energy for the skills, or have the resources you need to get the upper hand on the enemies hiding face-down. For future builds, being able to use the WASD to move around the field might be nice, as otherwise, there’s a lot of clicking involved. At the very least, let the player just zoom across rows or columns they’ve already unveiled.

TileDeck TD

A different take on tower defense, you also build your own map based on the cards you draw. As nice as it is to just slap down single exit roads, you will need to branch them out to access the resources on the outer ring so that you can actually protect your castle from future waves.

Wizard with a Gun

If you liked Cult of the Lamb, I think this one should be a dead ringer for you. It’s got similar overworld exploration mechanics for materials to craft more bullets and to fix up the world one bit at a time with the power of extreme violence. Potentially.

PERSONAL PICKS

The ones I’d prioritize to purchase.

Cuisineer

Did you want to be more hands-on violent in the Atelier series, or even Recettear? Pick up Cuisineer where you can whack the living lights out of everything in the world outside and bring them back home to serve up in delectable dishes in your restaurant, or simply to fulfill errands. The rogue-lite elements are, well, lighter here - to me anyway - so if you aren’t really a fan of the randomness, there’s still plenty of static elements of action combat and management for you to work on. The early game hell is certainly real here!

Dicefolk

Your team of three not-Pokemon accompany you to the greater outside to defeat other not-Pokemon! The battle system is simple but engaging, with three dice per side determining your actions. You must spend the enemy dice before you can end your turn, but you do get some control over the randomness. I really enjoyed the demo, doing Rotation Battles while picking up my mostly-snail homie for the team and bopping the creatures along the way.

Froggy’s Battle

Wow, who could have imagined a frog game would make its way here? Jokes aside, it’s another pretty mechanically simple game where you go round and round in your skate tube and pulling off sick moves to style on your quote unquote rizzless amphibian brethren. It’s also really cute to boot.

Heretic’s Fork

There’s something magical about being some unpaid intern working away at a gamified version of being purgatory’s jailor, accompanied by legally distinct Klippy. It’s got some bopping music to go with watching your big balls swinging back and forth to smite the sinners trying to escape hell.

Robobeat

With an opening more or less beat for beat taken straight from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, this wholly robotic Star Lord will be gunslinging to cassettes you can change on the fly to find a beat you can shoot to. Of course, you’re entirely free to do completely tone-deaf clears by not matching the rhythm, but where’s the style in that?

CONCLUSION

Steam Next Fest June 2023 will be on until 26 June Pacific Time. I am just one man trying out a mere handful out of one specific sub-genre’s available demos, so if you have the time, definitely do give the whole lot a shot!

Until next time. Thanks for watching.
