Describe a thing in an indie game that would make a Gameplay poster's head explode

Spacesuit Spiff··4 votes·584 views

I'll start

Sproggiwood: AoE hard CC on ranged autos.

Desktop Dungeons: Lifesteal scales with level instead of damage output, making it appealing to resist-stackers.

FTL: Permanent AoE regen that can outheal enemy dps.

Undertale: Being expected to dodge skillshots.

Binding of Isaac: Autoattacks are replaced with Xerath ults... and many other things.

Nearly all of them: percent max health true damage.

Not exactly sure that's an indie game, but:

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth: Among other things, you can turn your basic attack into Lux's ult. With a homing upgrade. And multi-beam.

Legend of Grimrock: 4-man premade. Not 3, not 5, always 4.

######Of course, nobody knows what I'm talking about because that game's like Galio: Awesome and completely unknown.

Mark of the Ninja: You can assassinate through smoke bombs without revealing yourself. You can see enemy vision.

Transistor: Low cooldown no-resource blink that deals damage and can stun, makes you turn invisible and leaves a clone, amongst other things you can make it do.

Can't believe I forgot Transistor, it's a goldmine of this. More generally: "a champion that has 4 Innates, and 2 passives on each ability"

The fun part about it is that since it's a single-player game, nothing ever seems super op.

This is truth. Singleplayer is so refreshing because unless the game is hard enough to force you to use whatever's OP (and bc the devs know this, "OP" is 100x crazier than it is in league), you can just not use it and go on enjoying the game. Don't remember any one thing in Transistor necessitating this, though Bastion had that cross-map poke that was just boring as hell if you decided to rely on it.

Undertale: Doing damage is not the most important thing; it's actually the last thing you generally want to do.

Metroid Prime: The little caterpillars that morph into rabid bees can three-hit after fighting the spider boss. And no, you don't get to heal after the boss fight.

NO! THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT!

hmmm.... Journey: run around gathering stuff to make you leap long distances, even over walls

luftrausers: fly around blasting at enemies midflight, while your auto attacks are all skillshots

Wakfu: Eliatrope portal, set up portals that your skill shots move between.
