Watch video at 00:00

alright hey everyone one bite here and

welcome to loot Rascals it's a

turn-based roguelike sought at PAX South

met the developers and they're very nice

and forgot to give me a key now they

were very nice , but they also forgot to

give me a key so here we are a day late

but not a dollar short let's play the

game we only have subtitles on let's

play looks like you use a controller for

this I guess that's fair let's play

standard game see what happens actually

you know what uh there's a short

tutorial which explains the basics we

really recommend it as things will make

a lot more sense want to try it sure so

from what I saw this game is super

confusing and we should probably do the

tutorial ok so we can have this chick or

this guy I like the chick honestly so

let's let's be her she seems like she's

functional this guy seems like he's

going to die horribly constantly she

looks like she can take on the world or

at least half of it cuz peripheral

vision is not her strong suit anyway

stretch her legs use the left stick to

run around the see the turn reader up

there on the top right this is actually

a turn-based game run around and watch

the turn counter change the as you move

tiles so it's the day-night thing day

and night are only a few turns apart

this is important because you'll get the

first hit on some baddies a day and

others at night okay

[Music]

hey go and loot these okay so we've got

some shorts I don't know what this is I

don't know what any of these things are

great no let's equip them press Y to

open up your HUD move the cursor of the

cards with the left stick and press a to

equip them so we've got a hold to grab

press to quit so we got space shorts

card to write plus to self throw disc

and column one plus two so it's shield

damage top row plus one even slot okay

orange cards increase your attack

strength blue cards increase your

defense attack and defense are displayed

at the top try moving them around a bit

okay so my defense so card to the right

plus to top row plus one this is an

attack card adds plus one to itself if

it's placed in the top row okay even

slot so they're in column one okay hold

on so we're gonna put this here this

here this here and this there okay

that's probably the best I can do

I can maybe get a little bit more

defense if I really wanted to

alternatively there we go

Watch video from 03:00 - 6:00

five attack five defense that should be

good great job okay close lahood with B

okay run down let's we'll go crush crush

some biscuits combat starts when you

share tile with a baddie it's automatic

you take turns attacking one another

okay so we just got a new card what's

this help this is a tech card a higher

your tech more damage you'll two of

combat has no special properties be nice

if we could actually see what it does

but whatever okay so it's just the hydro

putter not particularly amazing okay so

we want to attack an avoid oh I see

somebody's attack first and others

defend first this changes between day

and night okay so we might as well just

fight everything we've got stats to just

destroy them okay let's grab some stuff

though so we got a spike pan and a self

throw disc which I'm gonna toss there

for even more damage okay well I got

plenty of defense

oh no we did take damage there you know

whether or bad who's gonna attack or

defend by looking at the badge above

their head okay

[Music]

so despite the fact that I had a decent

defense it wasn't enough okay so you

want to go after this guy next

oh it will tell me attack me or avoid me

based on if it's going to be day or

night next okay so let's pick up cards

so we've got meteor ball only one and Oh

press to rotate oh so we could have boot

helmet or meteor ball let's go with boot

helmet we need some more defense and

call them 5-0 bottom row two okay and

I'm gonna put spike pan their self throw

disc will switch okay cool I love this

bonus system it's neat

all right let's keep fighting folks and

see what we can do there we go

works out we're getting a fair bit

stronger let's keep it

let's keep it venturing oh wait it's

attacking first but we blocked it okay

let's try something else head back to

where we started

it's a bit confusing at first but once

we get the hang of it this should be

good okay there's a special type of

baddie in here called a burden bunny go

Watch video from 06:00 - 9:00

kill it okay marvelous now collect that

burning card and open your HUD with why

this burning augment gives any card the

burn ability drop it on one of your

equipped cards put it on okay to give

you the fire ability when charged up you

will be able to do fire attacks okay so

I'll put it on the spike ban for the

time being okay you have a burning card

close your head and we'll go use it yeah

it looks like so burning is temporary

salt to pay attention to that okay but

let's select the burning ability first

and the ability selector in the bottom

right corner of the screen hold l1 and

press press the right stick up okay

now let's head back to those biscuits

okay so I should be able to burn some

toasters okay the ability is recharged

by revealing tiles in combat or by

stepping on a charged style oh so we

don't burn through things okay looks

like they're also attacking more often

okay so we've got to worry about our HP

a bit glad we got some defense though so

where's the charge tile is this a

charged tile

I'm dying here cuz I'm not paying

attention cuz I'm trying to figure out

new things okay so it looks like if

we're in proximity they will attack me

how do we get over here oh we can

explore this way unfortunately this

whole area is done okay you're stepping

on a charged tile where is it charged

tile is this a charge tile oh we want to

avoid that okay yeah so if we end up

directly next to them they'll start

attacking us down where is this charged

tile they keep talking about how do I

get to these guys I don't know maybe

this is a charged tile

Oh use your right stick to move over a

baddy and press R want to use my burn

ability I've been doing it wrong okay so

that's the charge style okay to kill

biscuits behind the wall to your right

you needed a right stick and burn them

let's charge it up okay interesting so

we only had like a certain amount of

charge there alright and I'm getting it

now sorry a little bit slow right now

brain is working in different different

directions right now

okay the objective is to find the exit

portal in each area and use it to warp

out find it use it now to escape this

tutorial yeah let's go try and die I

thought we were actually gonna be

Watch video from 09:00 - 12:00

consuming cards here but no that's not

the case well that's nice start a

standard game it's better to be busy

than bored

wake up Guney week all right

well nearly there so I'm just gonna talk

you through the Machine again okay right

get on your way to the say of a new

outer space holiday camp where the

medical substance liquid anything has

already been transported and a bag by

the unit which is a nickname is Thor

technical name the make party should

have by now prepared the finest office

for then the liquid anything and

initiate in the 3d rendering process

however we've lost contact the most

likely scenario as the flying space

debris is snapped off the back bodies

aerial the which case you should load

the appropriate chap and here lag mental

chat be done and use your helmet to Rend

another place to park before returning

home

you should inspect the camp in case

there's anything else we need to repair

or replace and remember ensure that an

area is clear before rendering in case

you accidentally have someone in the

face which Pinkham that concludes the

mission of oh sorry till they put you

back the hypersleep there oh here's the

planet coming into view now look so I'll

get the spaceship down to this office

and you just

[Music]

[Music]

okay well the new mission is wait I just

realized my mouse there I'm sorry guys

well that was goofy I dig it

all right let's try entering the dome

hello you can do compiled any unwanted

cards to produce tokens open your HUD

move over a card and hold the right

trigger to destroy it and earn a token

you can spend tokens on the healing

machine you're the dough would you like

to set your practice deck for this area

is your current deck does it allow you

to start a new practice game from this

area of the current set of cards now

okay mailbox this mailbox is where cards

were turned by other players or your

hologram will arrive it's empty right

now he'll fully for two tokens don't

have any this guy has spatulas on his

head his hands his feet and he's got

three moves here chef slows rotten Leon

Watch video from 12:00 - 15:00

stole my vendor goon plush returned it

for two extra spirits spirit card slots

what's this maths of combat when you

attack your tech number is subtracted

from the body's power when you defend

their power is divided by your defense

Oh their power divided by your defense

is subtracted from your health

oh so defense isn't flat so okay even if

your defense is higher than the body's

power you might get hit their chance is

their power divided by your defense so

if it's 12 over 24

we have a 50% chance of losing one

health okay so we can't just tank

through things good to know

Oh see what my what's my deck right now

we got meteor balls just interesting

enough none of them seem to have

anything special about them well let's

get out of here okay so we've got

whiskers which is worrying we might as

well just equip the spike fan Oh build

ease charge fast so he's on defense it

just changed from day to night all

baddies who are going to attack first in

combat will not defend first and

vice-versa the best way to survive is

not to get hit I was attacked bad use

with the shield symbol above the heads

if possible oh so we do have a time

limit something about a giant space slug

in 240 turns is their way to past tot

past time

[Music]

I'm just gonna run away from Luke

oh no it's attacking me oh we attack

first though because it just went

nighttime

okay so whiskas is gonna go after me

next put on the shorts but let's put the

shorts there so abilities charge fast

and stuff like that which there's a

button where I could just pass the time

so that's work to dome okay so we've got

wounds but they're on defense so I

should be able to just murder the crap

out of them unfortunately I'm a little

bit worried about them all coming to it

oh okay well that worked out we just

barely blocked that one I think I like

it the other ablative arm Bend let's see

if we can start doing horrible things to

these guys let's keep throwing a meteor

balls on you've got plenty of whiskers

that we can just destroy I'm worried

about bolas girl oh okay that hurt a lot

Watch video from 15:00 - 18:00

more than I thought it was going to and

we're not getting loot for every fight

which I guess makes sense

what's this dono

[Music]

I'm just gonna stay away from them I'm

just gonna keep exploring we'll find out

or we won't okay

okay so

oh there's rotten Leon okay so there's a

warning that we're about to get attacks

so that's good

this is a weird charming weird game so

let's go 400 grand we're good ooh what

we just get let's grab that and toss it

over one of these meteor balls up my

damage a little bit okay take out the

loop we've got another one of these yeah

I figured we'd uh oh and top row minus

one column one column five plus one okay

and let's decompile nope let's decompile

some of these I wonder if tokens stick

with me what's this thing - oh he will

plus one nice okay let's go for rotten

Leon we've got a limited amount of time

okay there we go

take out rotten Leon and there's that

okay let's see if I can take out Brigid

there he goes

alright so we've got the side quest done

what's this do I have no idea I'm just

gonna explore around and we'll see what

comes across oh we've got some kind of

weird Robo hunter type dude

concerning now okay rats stick but

that's fine we're good we've got wokes

but we're fine it's this spaceship

looking thing oh uh do we find the exit

I think we might have found the exit

card rocket it's the card rocket you can

use this to launch one of your cards

into a spacetime rift towards a parallel

dimension version of you give it a try

sure why not

alright let's not launch that into space

even though it's probably useless maybe

I'll help I don't know I got some time

here so let's uh go fight mr. Roboto

Watch video from 18:00 - 21:00

clunker had nothing fancy about him but

that's okay

all right so it looks like clunkers are

kind of random I wonder if we uh we can

run the clock here Oh horse crows are

scary same thing with the L Bandito

looking dude okay well we got a boot

head so I guess that's fine there goes

the clunker let's see if we're gonna

take out the brick and go after the orc

or grande and then probably just run

away this doesn't seem quite worth it

let's put on the boot hat no now that I

think about it car to the right and odd

slot so if we just grab this one and

drag it over that should work right

awesome

now let's see what happens when we get

out of here so can we warp to the next

area now can I deliver that thing to the

chef looks like it okay enter dome and

it looks like the turn timer is reset

let's the disastrous Diego stole my

pause poncho returned it for a reveal

map card so he doesn't want this back

[Music]

okay

that's kind of unfortunate oh let's see

[Music]

so he'll fully for two tokens sure and

we have no mail remember you don't need

to kill the baddies you just need to

find the portal to escape anything from

the mailbox I don't know what this is

okay let's uh let's exit the dome and

good luck me oh jeez lunk is this a guy

that stole the thing no it ain't night

wizard oh geez

oh the night wizard forces it to be

nighttime let's see if it can kill the

web Jacque unfortunately he's dangerous

all of this is dangerous we're going to

die I guarantee it

there's a Healy thing and there's

horrors and unfortunately our cards are

not on the greatest of sides well that's

Watch video from 21:00 - 24:00

okay I kind of expected death here oh I

guess we're fighting shark fans oh

that's fine

now do we go after monk I guess we're

going after lunch and we're dead well

never mind

he stole my orbital bowls all right so

now what happens

[Music]

appreciate it if you could keep we can't

have those oh and don't worry about

dying it's just a simple matter of

reshuffling time now

back you go berry has so much to teach

me right well I thank you but a dead

body for most of us so I'll give you the

upshot and there's a there's a thing

below or somewhere who's gonna keep

bringing us back to life as long as we

kill the aliens alone to you what I'm

thinking is we fainted back body heads

then fly home ourselves without that

thing below obviously so let's get

looking well that was interesting

you're alive again unfortunately the

thing below can't preserve your cards

when you read incarnates you so you'll

have to go out there and collect a new

set let's eat

ah looks like our tokens got reset chess

was spectral destabilizer returning for

two extra spare card slots massive

combat so there's no real like

progressive system here it's just a

matter of getting the run to work right

I guess I don't know some amount of rng

it's kind of hoping that we'd be able to

like slowly expand our like starting

prowess or something like that because I

don't think we start with anything new

what's what's journal okay so journal is

uh

completion okay that's kind of neat I

don't know this games this game is kind

of fun it's a bit traditional roguelike

II and I'm not entirely sure how far you

Watch video from 24:00 - 27:00

can get without just getting your ass

kicked repeatedly which I don't know the

appeal disappeared on that one a while

ago but maybe that's just me I don't

know I like it though it's really

stylish the characters are weird the

enemies are interesting the card

slotting system seems really fun I just

kind of want to see if there's like an

upper limit or if

it's like really repetitive and that's

the the only way we can find that out I

guess is with more time so I guess we'll

see about that anyway I guess yeah this

is a good stopping point mainly because

doing another run would probably take a

fair a while so I will see you guys on

the next episode of loot Rascals ah but

before I forget if you guys liked this

impressions video slash first episode of

let's play in any way shape or form

leave me a like helps more than you know

and if you want to see more hit

subscribe because I'm probably gonna

play a fair amount of this at least to

see like how deep the rabbit-hole goes

I like the fact that there are cutscenes

and stuff I just don't know what the

axis is for them and stuff like that no

it's fun so I guess with that see you

guys next time and as always thanks for

watching

you
