Nobody is Playing This Game...

I can explain. This is Blood Dungeon, a fun little roguelike game that comes from the people that made Nidhogg, and nobody is playing this. But why is that? The game is basically just a 2D Mega Bunk, and I was really addicted to that, so I wanted to give the game a clean shot. Is it good? Is it really bad? Today I plan on finding out. Oh, I got I got mail. Join the Disc- Never mind, man. I hate when games peddle the Discord, man. I'll join right now. Who's on voice call? Guys, what's the meta strats? Looking to get some high PBs. Yep, that's good. I think I got I got banned. Oh, no, we're good. Blood Dungeon fan art. Let's look at some fan Mm. Should I draw some Blood Dungeon fan art? Hey, man. >> [laughter] >> Please don't delete that. I actually I actually spent a really long time on that. Oh, I I forgot. I unlocked a recent stage, bro. Let's play this stage as the baby. This is an all new stage even to me with an all new boss. I don't even I don't know what's going to happen. All right, so here we are in the tombs. You'll see that I'm firing a gun. It's pretty much like Mega Bunk, but in 2D. The control The jumping is a little like different Wait, what the hell's this? Do I have to shoot these blocks? Oh my god, this this stage might suck ass. So the the stages in this game are something that you can explore. They're like finite. You can like loop around usually. Oh, we got our first bit of upgrades. All two uncommons. Mm, I feel like the Magnum reload is just way better. I'm going to take the Magnum reload. Now we're going to start pumping real deeps. We need a weapon that Oh, I mean, we have to take this. This gives us an extra choice every upgrade wheel. We definitely want that. We just want more options. More options is always going to be better. Is there any way to get down here? Give me fellas. Okay, so we can just crawl down. Kind of like Dig Dug. Nice, another level up. What do we got? Wow, another magnum I mean, that's a really good charm. Yeah, we got to take this charm in. Unfortunate that magnum reload could have been bonkers. Oh, see look at that. I Wait, the magnum just pierces everything. Oh, it's giving us a second chance to get this. I'm going to take it. I'm going to take it. We had a rare upgrade, but that rare upgrade kind of sucks. Oh, full heal. We're going to need that. Okay, remember where we are. Damn, that ant was tough. I don't know why it's called tomb. This is very clearly an ant an ant nest. What are they called? Ant pile? Okay, this could be bad. We need some more uncommon level ups here. A turret weapon rare. Uh I mean, I'll take Why not? Let's try the turret build. Oh wait, turret on this map might be good. I need to find another way down. Maybe I can go this way. Just We got nothing, man. I'm just going to upgrade the weapon. Take the damage. Flat damage percentage, I'll never say no. Part of the game is exploring the map, but I'm just stuck right now. I never would have started with tomb if I thought I'd embarrass myself like this. Another easy level up here. We have a turret upgrade. Oh, a the rare perk ricochet. Bullets have a 50% chance of bouncing off enemies. Yes, please. I need some more damage. Does anybody Oh, two blue enemies. If you kill blue enemies, you get a chest. Basically, you want to kill the blue enemy. Should I take this? It basically just makes me even smaller. But what about this uh Like I lose a heart man. [ __ ] it. I'm a tiny baby. I'm actually I'm actually minuscule, bro. I'm not beating the boss with three hearts. Oh, la- lasers. This is the best run of my Oh my god, yes. Yes, this is gaming. This is why I was on the Discord, man. So, the bigger bullet isn't actually bad. Uh the burning boots is pretty good. It basically I mean, it's OP. It literally just drops fire everywhere. Yeah, clean them out. Clean them out. Let's go. If the forums are Oh god. Oh god, get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get Get out, baby. Get out. I'm not dying in there. I'm going to be honest, I have no idea where I'm supposed to be going. Oh [ __ ] Awesome, real enemies are spawning now, guys. I guess we'll take turret duration up. Oh jeez, guys, I don't know where to go. I could buy that chest. That might be the move here. All right, we got it. Use the money, buy a chest. Probably enemy speed reduced. Enemy speed reduced by 25 just flat, not having to do anything. Kind of really good. Also, if we can get Yes, we make our way down. We're progressing down the map at a steady pace here. It's just going to be whether it's like do we want it Oh, the worm! No! That's the stage one boss. But look at the way the fire is just destroying him. The laser turret Oh, he's he's actually washed. Achievement unlocked. [ __ ] Oh, you guys don't see it. Damage 10 enemies with one laser beam. You guys have to believe me, bro. Like another chest we can buy, but we do have to unlock the path to it. Hey, what the Yo, what is that Nidhogg wannabe, bro? Get his ugly ass out of here. This laser is actually OP for this stage, I think. Oh god, what is that, bro? Oh, I'm getting cornered. I'm getting cornered. I'm going to corner I don't know where to We're actually Oh, that is that is some heat. That is way too much heat. Oh, guys, we're cooked. We're cooked. We're cooked. We're cooked. We're cooked. It's It's over. It's over for the baby. It's over for the baby. They got my back against the wall right now. I need this blue guy to die so I can get the pick up. Nice. It doesn't have to be over >> [laughter] >> I'm going for it. Nice. Chest grab. I'm just going to take the turret upgrade. Oh god, I need a full heal now. No! I'm so cooked. [screaming] NO! I couldn't get back to the heals. Well, we did unlock some new weapons and a new arena. Look, that map was just impossible, though. Look at You can tell how lost I got. Oh, I should have went to the right. Oh wait, no, no, I Yeah, I did find it. I could have went down It just It just gets so hard. I had to go to up into the right and then down. Uh well, let's try a new character for the new stage. We could play as this guy, leach. What What does he do? 1% faster cool Wow, that actually sounds pretty good. All right, let's do the new stage. Uh if this is an underwater stage, I'm taking back my kind words on the game. I'm not playing it if it's underwater, man. Oh. Ew, what What is that? Am I using a leech whip? Oh, this character sucks. This character blows, dude. Ew, what is that crap? Hold on. What is that crap? Yeah. Oh, yeah. This feels sexual. What do we got? Oh, the shield. Oh, it's a charm. Shields from one damage. Wait, that's insane. Is that not insanely good? Please. Please smack him a little harder than that. Oh, bad. These are all bad. The sword is just really bad. I mean, maybe it gets better if you upgrade it. I'm going to ignore it, though. I'll ignore it at least once. All right. Well, it does seem to be a water level, guys. So, let's see if I can get down there. I want to try to get some achievements for exploring the stages, and that's not going to happen if I stay on land. Oh, uncommon whip upgrade. Oh, double whip. They really thought it was my first day out here. I'm doing a full exploration tutorial. It's not my first rodeo, gang. I'm I'm instantly surrounded, and I'm going to die. Oh, we could get smaller. We do have the shield. I don't I just don't know if that's actually Oh, three whip shots. Oh, this is good. I should have taken the sword. I should have done the untouchable build. Let that blue guy die, but not beyond that locked gate that I can't get past. No, no, no. Yes. Yes, give me a roll. Crit explosions. Crits have a 25% chance to explode. You know this is going to be the run. I'm starting to get that I'm starting to get that feeling. Rocket launcher. I don't know. Should we take a rocket launcher when we could have a whip protection? I mean, rocket launcher is very good. Yeah, I'm doing it. I'm doing it for a little bit of that range damage, right? Like, maybe this isn't a smart build, but it's my build. So, I think like Mega Bonk, you can only really have two weapons and then more charms and other stuff. So, a little unfortunate that this is the final build for the weapons, but we can obviously make them stronger, right? Maybe I should have gone sword. I can make level up. Let's take the blood upgrade. Blood is your is basically your levels, right? It's your EXP, I believe. So, if we can start rolling that ball Oh my god. Okay, 10% blood. Like, maybe we just keep Maybe we just keep believing that we can get the I need it I Oh, thank you. Thank you. I needed that bad. All right, whip this guy. Yes, sir. Mm, I guess I'll go slow. I don't really know. I'm not feeling the build as much as I was when it was just the whip. The rocket launcher is great. It just feels a little out of character, I guess. It doesn't feel like me. Oh, I Holy [ __ ] Holy [ __ ] I didn't I hate this level. Whoever designed this level on the Nidhogg team, see me in the Discord this evening. You are going to receive a talking to. I could also just be stupid. Like maybe I need to actually pay attention. Oh, wow, four whip shots, man. Yes, please. Damn, I'm giving these guys a lashing. This This is not fun and games no more. Oh, beat his ass. Beat his [ __ ] ass. Uh, I do need an air bubble stat. I need to get to air. I need to get to air like right now. I don't even know where air bubbles are. Oh, okay, great. Please. Oh, my god, that actually sucks so bad. Like why do I lose air so quickly? Bone snake, I think I saw this guy in world one. Why is he in underwater territory? Either way, we are not uh, we are not doing anything but camping this vent while we fight the boss. Can you guys move? Can you guys move? I'm I'm I'm drowning. You got Oh, [ __ ] me. I need to find some health. All right, we're abandoning ship. We're abandoning ship. We need to find a med pack. If we don't find a med pack, this run is basically over and that's fine. Oh god, please don't be a dead end. Please don't be a dead end. Please don't be a dead It's a dead end. It's a dead end, guys. Oh, guys, this is not how I wanted it to end. Invisibility frames. Somebody get me out of here. Uh, five shots of whip. Okay, it's over. What did I think was going to happen? Bro, that stage was so ass. Did I at least reach the bottom? Oh, god, I got stuck in the middle for like six years, man. Oh, I did I reached dead end bottom. No, you know what? I'm retrying. Why am I retrying when I hate the stage, you might ask? I have no idea. It's just that sucked. I need to do a full exploration run. Hey back. Hey back. Sometimes I gates will close behind you and you [ __ ] me, man. Damn! I guess I'll just take the Oh god, this is not how I wanted to start this run off. How do I jump out of this? All right, there we go. All right, crawl away. We explore spider webs could be good. Spider webs are rare let's get them. This is a rare weapon that shoots and slows down your enemies so pretty good especially if you get some size upgrades. Ooh, red key. All right, now we can open the red gate if we see one, I guess. I know I'm going to get a rare upgrade. Ooh, and you can climb the webs underwater. Is that tech? I need it. I need some air. I need some air but Oh, that's so [ __ ] Oh, 10% chance of inflicting zombie. I don't really know what that means but it means like they like once they're infected they can't hurt me. I know that. I'm really camping these chest drops. All right, we finally have double whip double whip. Now we can like really spam these. Oh, wow. This is ass. [music] Uh, reroll. Come on, give me something good. Something good. God, guys. Like I'll take anything other than like this useless money. What is with the terrible upgrades, man? Green key. Okay, I have every key known to man and yet no doors. No doors. I'm once again trapping myself in the dead end zone. This is real smart stuff here, guys. All right, now we are in what is called panic time where I have to find air bubble or die. Blue key. Oh, it's time to die, guys. It's time to actually die. Take shield. It's time to die. We have we have no oxygen. No air. No air. No air. No air. Who made this stage? Who made this stage? Why would you want to play this? Who wants to play this? Oh, the exploration run was going so good, too, man. Oh, get me off the I'm not playing that again. All right, back to stage one catacombs. You guys haven't been here yet but I'm an old friend. We've got the sword build going strong. Maybe we can do sword turret. That would be fun. If we can't kill this guy. Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh, look at that micro movement tech. This is why the sword sucks, by the way. Like, look at this pathetic damage. I'm not doing sword boomerang. I'm not doing sword boomerang. Oh, there we go. Sword build coming online slowly. What does this do again? Oh, it's like a freeze. Okay. Maybe I can just climb underneath these guys. Oh, tech. Hold on. I'm a god at these games. Another level up. I think we take Oh, look at that sword. >> [laughter] >> Oh, three so This is like one of those free-to-play games you see in mobile game ads, bro. Like, I'm actually level 60 knight right now. I literally picked I I I I chose to study the blade. Yes. Give me another Ooh, battle axe. I'm not taking that. Did I just get a refresh? Those were both pretty bad. Shotty? A shotgun? Yes, please. I feel like this didn't really match my build. But, actually it's a little pushback. Maybe it does. Knockback. I'll take knockback. Hot press is being like if they try to like if they crowd around me, we just knock them away with the swords and the shotty and we just win. I haven't even taken damage yet. Oh my god. Oh, more options. Yep. What we're looking for is basically a um it allows us to get all the money we've missed on the state Oh, give me that. No. [ __ ] that hit me. I disagree, man. I don't believe that hit me at all. Ooh, red key. We have that, don't we? No. Now, I'm thinking of last round. I'm thinking of last round. I'm thinking of last round. Damn, red key is open. Wow, I need red key, man. Oh, they're starting to get a lot of enemies. It's starting to be a little more than I think I can handle. Big group wipe. Big group wipe. Oh, eat that XP, why don't we? I mean, we need shotgun ricochet, right? I mean, shotgun ricochet, that's a no-brainer pick. With shotgun ricochet, we just easily Oh, no. Time gate. We can go up. Knockback is so good, though. Keeps the enemies away. Another upgrade. What do we get? Oh, another sword. Yes. I don't care. [laughter] I I literally don't care if it's optimal or not. That's it. That's what we're looking for. No, that's the freeze. That's the freeze. All right. Uh Oh my god, we're farming him. We're farming him. We're farm- him. Look at the damage. Yes! Wait, let's open this door real quick. Nice, instant boss defeat. Wasn't even a challenge, man. He was just fodder. Take another sword upgrade. It is getting It is getting real crowded, man. Oh, oh, I need to heal. I'm not even asking for that much in my opinion. Where is the a single med pack? I got one key. Okay, just just keep the movement alive. Oh, bad jump. There's the right key. I need a way out. I need A WAY OUT. DA- DAMAGE BLOCK. Med pack. Med pack, just one med pack. There's got to be a med pack somewhere, right? It's It's It's It's real. We're underwater. Stay underwater for more than 2 minutes at a time and we just die. Shield, shield, shield, shield. Shield, shield. Oh my god, we actually got shield. That'll give us like one more HP basically. Just a dream. We We force open the gate. But they're coming from above. Go, go, go. THE SHIELD WON'T LAST LONG. >> [laughter] >> It's over. It's so over. They got us trapped. Is that death? IS THAT DEATH THAT'S TRYING TO TAKE my run away FROM ME? AH! >> [laughter] >> WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHERE DID THE RAM COME FROM? Where was the HP that Where does was I not? Look at how big this stage is. I was top left. I was bottom left. I didn't I I actually never made it bottom left. I I left gaping holes. Dammit. Oh my god, man. I was kind of liking the sword run, bro. I was kind of enjoying it. You know what? Let's just do standard gun guy. This guy is literally on the cover of the game. All right, now we're using a standard gun build. This should be I mean, decent, I guess. Can you tell I've lost a lot of confidence in myself? Like I haven't gone to boss two once. I'm telling you, the movement, the strategy in this game is impossible. Oh, actual just rare upgrade. Oh my god, I The game wants me to win. It heard my bitching, it heard my whining. It wants me to get Oh my god, another rare upgrade for the gun. I'm moving around like the Punisher right now. Another kill volley. Kills extend the What the [ __ ] This is the Is this the best build of all time? Oh my This might actually be If I just put everything in the gun, I think I win. Oh my Oh, don't take that. Don't take that. Okay, remember that's a med pack. That will give us full health. So when times are looking dangerous, we come back up. But for now, we'll go down. Wow, six shots would be really good. I mean, fireworks are not bad at per se, but I think we just keep like like never stop taking gun. Oh, another health Wow, this See, I couldn't find one the last run, by the way. And I I love that the kill You know what? Bigger projectile sounds really funny. They're not even that Another health pack This game hates me. This game actually double deagles, baby. Achievement unlocked. Fire 20 bullets with machine gun before reloading. Oh, blue key. Okay, so that's one of the keys. That's another health crate, by the way. Green key also unlocked. We have We have the key for this. Beautiful. Another What is this? Permanently lose a heart plus 50 I mean, I have to take the rare upgrade, but I wanted that. Oh my god, the final bullet deals extra Dude, I have to take the gun. I want another weapon, but I have to take the gun. They're forcing me, bro. They're actually forcing me. Okay, we don't need to take the gun on that one. So let's get the extra choice. Oh my god, permanently lose a heart. Yes, I'm taking it. I don't care. I'm berserker. Let's go. We're through. Another green key. Another green key. A purple key. I'm farming the game. I'm actually just farming the game. A lot of time gates. It's beautiful. This build is something so beautiful. [music] Give me that. Okay, I think we did a lap. Yes. Yep, blood wins the Wait. Double deagles. It's two guns. So now do I I have guns and then more guns? >> [laughter] >> Oh, this build sucks. I'm going to take the knockback amulet. Maybe some knockback will keep them at bay. I don't know, man. I have double deagles. All All do is shoot bullets. Bullets can pierce one more enemy. Yeah, I think I have weapons fire faster the faster you move. I don't I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know. I guess I take bullets cuz I have two things that fire bullets, right? The only thing I'm afraid of is these blind jumps I'm making sometimes. Like it [music] can get a little scary when you're doing that. Oh, there's a chest right there. Oh, what is this the boss? I'm not afraid of no boss, bro. Actually, I kind of am cuz my build kind of relies on me killing stuff. Are we kidding? We can stop everybody. Nice easy kill on the first boss. Very good. Very good. We might make boss two. Now is the time where fireworks is a fine pick up. That was a pretty lackluster [music] option. Okay, we unlocked gate. Maybe we didn't need to. [ __ ] I You cheesed me, bro. I think we might be on lap two. Oh, the shield is a must. This build is so good. I'm going to be depressed if this build loses. Oh, another rare gun. Yes, another rare gun upgrade. Oh my god, it's carnage. It's absolute carnage. Oh, I upgraded my gun to the max level. That's max. I got an achievement just now. Holy [ __ ] it's ripping and tearing through It's broken. Nobody's ever I I was I was camping the health, but nobody's ever going to see it. So, this area lowers my cool down and basically I just become even more of a god. Oh, [ __ ] I think it's time to go camp next to a health. I'm always talking about that god damn build like I'm not one mistake away from dying, man. I got to stay humble. I got to stay humble. I got to stay hungry. That's the only way I'm making it out of this game with the boss two kill. It would be a beautiful thing. I don't I have I'm so close. Okay, it's almost panic time. We got the heal. We got the heal. We cheesed them. And an instant chest grab as well. All right, let's slow them down a little bit more. Let's make this our stand. We need actual weapon upgrades. We need more damage from our second weapon. I don't know if this this upgrade thing is actually lowering my Oh god, I got scared. Like are you guys ever going to die though? Like do you guys enjoy video games where nothing dies ever? Is that hype to you guys? Brother run. Look at this Look at this movement tech. Oh god, don't panic. Don't panic. We We can We can farm this for so much longer. I believe that chest is right We're going to take the damage. Weapons reload 5% faster, I guess. We're going to We're going to lock in. It looks dangerous, guys, but trust me. All right, two is where I draw the line. All right, we're going to take the heal. Take the heal and skedaddle. Oh, I'm getting shot by something. Oh my god, they're using projectiles. That should be banned. It's the second boss. Is that a [ __ ] tiger? What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] is leaping from Okay, okay, we need to find a second heal. Oh, the second heal just found us. But does it really matter when I'm this stuck? Like guys, I am in a bad way right now, man. Oh, double upgrade. Double Deagles, yes. Oh, triple upgrade. Double Deagles again. I don't I don't know. Fire at the boss, man. Fire at the boss. Is this really so complicated? [ __ ] Okay, time to panic. One more hit and we'll go down. Mega heal We Yeah, we Yeah, we Yeah. This is going to be a This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, guys. Usually on this stage, I feel like going down is better than going up, but I'm going up cuz I'm scared. If you want a braver answer than that, you'll have to find another guy, man, cuz I'm going to be honest. Okay, this is This is where we run. This This is This is bad news, guys. Okay, we're just going to get an upgrade. Just rip an upgrade. I'm trying to chase this goddamn tiger, but he doesn't exist half of the game. There it is. There it is. Beat his ass. Beat his ass. I just want to beat the boss. Do I just greed for boss, maybe? Oh god, it's time to run. I need I need help. Oh, we found health again. See, this is the opposite of the last run, man. I did not pick that up. That is so [ __ ] Why would I want to pick it up this early? Look at the Get the boss. Get the boss. Don't let him get away. Don't let him get away. Yes. [ __ ] He left. No. Please, he's like one shot, man. He's one shot. Where is he? It's over. It's over. Wait, where are my shields? Shield, shield, shield. Holy [ __ ] I gave up.
