My only impression of Ultrakill is that it has hyperviolent robots and a gay angel. No jokes, if I play it, what am I expecting as a casual gamer. If its just an action game I'm not interested.

The main gimmick of the game is that you can only heal by getting blood from enemies. So get in there!

It's an FPS built around playing "stylishly" which means you "should" be doing fancy movement and combos, its not required to do that, but knowing some basic info makes it easier. By that I just mean understanding how the guns work, how to avoid hurting yourself, and enemy weaknesses and resistances. Levels are relatively short and meant to be replayed so you can practice and find secrets. Also there are secret un-serious levels that are completely different than the base game.

The best comparison I can make is Doom Eternal but with unlimited ammo (instead you have cooldowns) and less strict rules for countering certain enemies. If you haven't played Doom Eternal idk what else to compare it to other than Turbo Overkill which, despite the name, is a different game.

The first 2/3 of this vid is a pretty good showcase. It is an edit so it's overly flashy on purpose, but its more or less what to expect once you learn how to combo. You don't have to do anything like this to beat the game tho. The last 1/3 is uhh very edited, you can ignore that part. (music isn't from the game)

Lots of flashing lights, if that is an issue then you definitely should not play it or watch the vid.

If the vid doesn't seem up your alley then you probably won't like the game. If it interests you, but seems too fast, there are a lot of accessibility options to slow things down, help with aim, make visuals clearer, etc.

It might be kind of hard to tell what is going on but the player randomly punching is parrying their own bullets/coins for damage lol also the game freezing for a bit is on purpose, not part of the edit.

If you are still interested but unsure, there is a free demo on steam.

As for story, yes it's there, no there isn't a ton. For reference, the player character is silent and it's not really about them, it's about the gay angel :) You'll spend most of your time blowing things up more than anything. Don't expect actual cutscenes. All you'll get is environmental story telling, some paragraphs in books, boss monologues (2 of whom a new player will not meet anytime soon), and terminal entries. Also there was some ARG stuff but... not relevant to a new player.

Also I should mention: the game isn't complete yet. Its still missing the last 2 parts of the final chapter. First 1/3 of the final chapter came out last month.

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

tagging: you. yes, you.

Name: Orokara

Pronouns: he/they

Birthday (no year): February 3

Where are you from? What is your time zone? Canada; EST

Roleplay experience: I have no idea but probably something like 7 or 8 years at this point

Favorite time of year: Spring! It feels really nice when the days start to get longer

Some interests and things you like: Mythology, music and playlist making, reading, animanga, cooking, random video essays, biology

Some fun facts & trivia about you: I used to moderate a few roleplay groups and a Pixelmon server myself, though those interests all died. I share a birthday with Hilda Goneril. I have an awful habit of starting things and then never finishing them. I like wearing bracelets and golf clothing. I crack my neck like all the time.

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Currently, Honkai: Star Rail, League of Legends, and Flight Rising. I'm also a big fan of the Pokemon series (and fan games), Project Moon games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Ultrakill, and Omori. Currently looking for people to play Stardew Valley with me ehe

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: Ghost and Grass. I used to be a grass-type gym leader on the Pixelmon server i helped run, and Appletun was my ace. Did you know that due to its ability thick fat and partial dragon typing, it actually resists fire moves? Many of my challengers didn't ;) my other faves are Hisiuan Zoroark, and Altaria!

How did you get into Fire Emblem? I liked Ike from Smash Brothers Brawl and on a whim decided to play Path of Radiance one day. It was one of my first emulator experiences. I let Rhys and Soren die on the first map they were available and never reset for them. It was bad.

What Fire Emblem games have you played? All mainlines at least once, plus feh

First Fire Emblem game: Path of Radiance!

Favorite Fire Emblem game: Blazing Blade, Binding Blade, and Genealogy in no particular order

Any Fire Emblem crushes? Kagetsu, Shannan, DIECK, Tibarn, Gerik, Selena/Severa

If you’ve played the following games, who was your first S support? Awakening - I don't remember but most recent is Chrom. Fates - Selena. Three Houses - Marianne. Engage - Mauvier

Favorite Fire Emblem class: Swordmaster but I use early game pegasus knights and thieves religiously. Dodgetanking is my favorite thing ever

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class? Navarre archetype myrmidon

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? Fear the Deer baby!

If you were an Engage character, which Emblem would you Engage with? Emblem Ike so I can run into an entire pack of enemies and slap the great aether button

How did you find TOA? Got invited after i was struggling as like. the only fe4 fan in a discord group that mostly wrote modern fe titles

Current TOA muses: Larcei, Owain, Sain

Who was your first TOA muse? If you don’t have them anymore, could you see yourself picking them up again? Larcei! Though she has come and gone

Have you had any other TOA muses? Ough I might not remember them all but I think the list is: Lewyn, Elm, Sirius, L'Arachel, Ryoma, Idunn

Do you think you have a type of character you gravitate towards? This might sound crazy considering my muselist but edgy swordsmen... I think people who grapple with feelings of revenge, hatred, and guilt are so interesting to delve into the psychology of. Lif is probably my all-time fave, if that says anything about me

What do you believe you enjoy writing the most? Slow and steady character growth. I like it so much when my muses become long-term friends with other ones. Owain and Julius, Larcei and Edward, Sain and Caeda, etc etc. Gaining a new reason to wake up in the morning and all the implications of that is always a joy to hash out over the course over multiple posts

Favorite TOA-related memory: The time Sirius and Est kept being forced to attack eachother by an arena boss, but whiffed all their rolls. Darcy and I wrote it with this little tongue-and-cheek bit where they kept saying "now isn't the time for sparring" before misdirecting yet another attack and writing Sirius' feelings regarding her, his past in Archanea, and the present state of that arena was real fun. Shoutout to N's Leif for the incredible setting of a really dark cave, too!

How do you pronounce TOA?: Sometimes I pronounce each letter individually and sometimes I say "towah". I am mad inconsistent sorry

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day in TOA that you’d like to share? Fuck it have my whole delusion list: Rutger, Fergus, Lif, The Vaike, Lewyn (again), Osian, Melady, Orson, Zihark, Louis, Kagetsu, Libra, Lon'qu
