If you can't win, cheat

[animaniac]

So, I liked the roguelite aspect up to a point, and that point was a mission where you grind 30 minutes for a machine gun and ammo only to get trapped and killed in SECONDS, so there's a cheat: back up your local save, close the game if you die and restore the save. I know it's betraying the game's philosophy but it's an absurd stopgap before the last mission.

ya if thats what you want to do, its a singleplayer game play how you want, even if its not the intended way to be played. i personally would avoid savescumming this game cause i think it would just decrease the amount of hours of entertainment it could give me

I'll do that sometimes in roguelikes because i had enough of starting over and replaying a game from the start when i was a kid, i just dont have the time or attention span for that now.

So i usually turn my roguelikes into roguelites by backing up saves after giving it a fair run playing "properly" then i play it the way i have fun. If it has a good meta progression system (rogue legacy etc) i'll play normally.

50 some hours of game, i reached hell, passed the entry and died at the 2nd location, killed by a turret(trap?!) from which i was supposed to be hidden :|
still i dont feel bad about it. it was not the first death of this kind - not knowing how the game works. the bridge was the same - i did not know i can walk on water, so i died from infection, while wandering all over the place, looking for a path. at the radio tower i also died because the zs got homed on me, no matter i was "hidden" and overwhelmed me.
id guess ill fail like that again...

The scripted mission at the middle of the last zone is much, much worse than these.

It sure is, easily the cheapest cheap shot in the entire game and putting it so far at the end of the run is devilish.

i just died at the end of hell by a door-camping-big-ass. he smacked me the moment the door opened, while i was still holding the key to open the door.
hell, i failed my first try again. probably scripted, like the tutorial.
nah, the bot was just using a wall hack :\

this mission, is it beyond hell?
or... i had this one detour trapped mission earlier in hell, but i saw the trap and got prepared - no problemo.

This is the final mission

If you think you're gonna die, I think you can also go back to the menu and reload your save. If you died though, it's too late
