    Holy Shit! It is an honor to be on your channel and it means a lot for what you said about our game Metamorphos! Our team worked really hard to push out a semi-quality game while doing classes and Covid! We were all joking that we would end up here but can't actually believe we did! Thank you! :)

    Dark souls: You fight in cathedrals. Death's door: You fight cathedrals.

    "This game can be a little too easy if you use all the tools available to you." The sound of all the bosses you can cheese with firebombs in dark souls 1 crying out in agony
  • @acerola179
    he just cant stop playing 9 souls-like games youve never heard of
  • @mike42192
    "The deeper you get into the game, areas feel like they got less care and attention visually, and in level design" Woah, it is like Dark Souls!
  • Death's Door ended up being one of my favorite 'play it once to 100% and then uninstall' games ever. It is SO memorable visually - the colors, the theme, the characters, the levels - but just....not as enjoyable to actually play. The weapons and move set all feel samey all the time, but I will literally never forget the game. A great deal for the price point IMO.
  • @BonsaiPop
    That Tetris piece upgrade idea is in Ghostrunner too, it's a super great idea that really let's you be creative with how many upgrades you can equip.
  • I’m a DigiPen alumni and I did my Master’s there. Thanks for featuring Metamorphos; a good friend of mine did the animations for that game. :D

  • @Morgannin
    I like how every one of these videos calls itself "Steam Dumpster Diving" as if that's the title but it's never the title. And so everyone complains that they can't keep up with the titles. And so Iron Pineapple laughs and makes another one.
  • @nickp3949
    The funniest part about all of these is how many different ways you can say “you died” without copying the same one from another game. It’s hysterical.
  • @RawBerserker
    Megaman Battle Network was one of the first to do the whole Tetris style upgrade mechanics. Always loved that design, it puts limits in place but you still have the creativity to mix and match your build.
  • "There is levelling, this is a soulslike" is the most "nobody knows what a soulslike is" thing I've ever heard
  • @sutrox4933
    If you can roll in real life, is real life a Souls-Like?
  • @percher4824
    Fun fact about Death's Door: I ran into two softlocks within three hours, the first of which was fixed IMMEDIATELY after I reported it.
  • @ironoat
    I really liked how you incorpated VaatiVidya's cameo at the beginning. Animating a model of Vaati to match his voice is a very nice touch. Cutting him off mid explanation was very funny too
  • just got my Borne Demake poster! Bloodborne was my first experience with a Soulsborne and therefore holds a special place in my heart. I'm so happy that i can express that love a little now :)
