The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk - parodic fantasy tactical RPG - now with Back to the Futon DLC

[Dwarvophile]

DLC1 seems short but is very good, DLC3 also promising - varied fights with different mechanics, like beginning of base game.

DLC3 is very good and quite long actually. Maybe twice as long as ruins if Limnis

 

[InD_ImaginE]

DLC 1 gets real tedious real hard because there is basically 0 progression and you fight the same like 3 major enemies thorughout. It's nice that you get to play around with Level 20 ML 10 I guess but having no level progression + no meaningful item progression is kinda boring. The game basically just put everything in the shop and with gazzilions of gold you have everything is frontloaded. The DLC gives some nifty item like Attributes +10 for all physical/mental stuffs but overall it's pretty eh. Some nice item from beating the sekrit boss, but thats like last 10% of the game by that point.

Not to mention the enemy are all: 1. Immune to mind affecting 2. Will 100% pre buffed with freedom of movement this means it's just a massive brawl.

While it's true that the one level you'll get in "Ruins of Limis" isn't going to make a significant difference (since you don't get access to new skills), there are quite a few interesting items you can get in that DLC. Many of them give their bearer the ability to use pseudo-skills : paralyze one enemy, use a flaming area attack, summon an undead troll, etc.

I am retarded. I was opening up WotR thread at the same time and got confused.

Is the German localization good or is the English localization better? Humor works better for me in my native language and I saw that this game got full German audio. Can someone comment on English vs German localization in Dungeon of Naheulbeuk?

I liked German more. You can also set audio and text to different languages and find your ideal mix.

I'm playing in German, but afaik the French one is the best. Unfortunately, I don't speak French yet, so I can't comment. There are some moments that got a few chuckles out of me in German, so I wouldn't say it's a bad choice.

Thanks, I'll go with German then.

I played at last DLC3 and my feelings are a mixed bag.

First 3/4 od the DLC everything is fine - fights are well done and quite challenging, the humour is the usual (I like it, not something stellar, but I smiled a lot), so for three out of four chapters I was having fun.

Unfortunatelly, the last chapter is real drag, and the DLC comes out of steam. The last battle before the two-staged boss battle ending the DLC is not hard, but is very, VERY tedious. Wave after wave after wave you have to chop through all the minibosses and their henchmen from the main game on an arena that is quite generic and uninspired. But ok, it's a battle of attrition after all, I can stomach it. But the final one... FFS, if your IQ is higher than that of average monkey, you'll know final boss' gimmick in no time and after that it's just a clickfest. No danger, no tension, just click-a-click-a-clickitty-click, at nauseum.

It's very, VERY disappointing and soured my, overall good, impression on this.

So, if you would play it, play the last fight on easy mode - not because it's so hard, but because it's so boring.

I would rate first three chapters solid 8/10, but the last chapter is 4/10.

 

[Uncreation]

I got to the last battle in DLC3 and the game just stops. It doesn't really freeze, since the characters say lines from time to time, like when you are taking too long, but it just doesn't start. I click "Start fight", i acknowledge the tool tip about Dlul's shield mechanic and then nothing happens. I can't interact with anything and it just sits there. My version is the latest one, so it should work. I heard that there wasa bug in this fight previously, but that it was fixed and it had to do with the bosses shield not with the fight not starting. I tried reloading a save from a bit earlier (from the fight with the head cultist), reinstalling the game, even downloading a Gog version, even though the version number is the same.
Anyone encountered this issue or have any idea. I like this game and i want to finish it.

I have it legit, but i also tried a gog version since i thought maybe it is different. It's the same version number, but who knows.

What, the fight where

Spoiler

all the previous bosses come in wave to attack you

?

Yeah I had the same bug even after it was said to be fixed. Just reloaded the fight and finished it. Don't remember what exactly was causing the bug (somthin with an ennemy AOE's skill and positionning...) but I remember I found the clue online.

 

[Uncreation]

No, the fight with Dlul. I defeated the cultist leader, the guy who hired you in the first place and now it's the final boss. At this time there just a bunch of purple minions on the field, but i assume that's just the first stage. In any case, it just doesn't start. I click Start fight, i acknowledge the tool tip about Dlul shield and then nothing happens. It just stays like that.

 

[OSK]

What's the DLC like with this game? Do they take place during the main campaign? Post-game content? Things on the side you can do at any time?

I've been tempted to pick this game up when it's on sale, but it looks like the DLC never gets reduced.

 

[Antigoon]

DLC 1: Post main campaign, one new chapter, one new char level (up to 11)
DLC 2: Arena DLC, from level 1 to 11
DLC 3: Largest DLC, post DLC1, 4 new chapters up to level 16

 

[Antigoon]

I guess they are trying to set the tone for their new games with their latest/last patch. Straight up buffing everything.

Currently replaying the game with the last patch and the minstrel.

The final patch improves a few things, making some skills less useless and increasing the difficulty of several fights. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's nice.

I'd never played much with the Minstrel before. He's better than I expected. Some of his skills are pretty hard to use (conic AoE are awful), but he has some pretty good support skill : give a bonus action, AoE heal that doesn't affect enemies, regenerate endurance/mana...

 

[OSK]

I finished the main game and I'm playing the DLC now. This game is way better than it has any right to be. It's hard to believe this game was created by the developers of Garfield Kart and Moto Racer 4.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Peculiar ….. indeed!

 

[Sentinel]

Bought this yesterday after I read some guy's post saying it's better than Knight's Tale.

Been enjoying it a lot but don't understand how the devs can fuck up every aspect of navigation. Controls, UI & character feedback are all wonky. Camera is centered on leader of the party, character will randomly stop before changing direction when moving, can't scroll minimap (have to keep opening the map menu). Also always dislike when dungeon crawlers don't let you insert custom notes on the map.

Thankfully so far they've nailed everything else. I even like the humor. Maybe I'm gay.

 

[fantadomat]

how the devs can fuck up every aspect of navigation

PS:Still a good game,not better than knight's tale since it is very different,but still its equal in excellence.

 

[Sentinel]

Realizing that enemies seem to have unlimited consumables is making me regret my purchase. Fucking annoying bomb throwing assholes just spamming shit.

 

[Sentinel]

Are the support related passive skills worth it? Shit like "when elf is next to ogre, she gains +X impact".

 

[Dr Skeleton]

Some are usable, but I'd take other passive skills over them most of the time. You rarely fight as a coherent party for long, you'll get the bonus for the first turn or two and then usually not, mobility is far more important than triggering the buff. That's not even mentioning enemies with large aoe attacks or debuffs.
Passives that require a squishy character to be next to a front-line character are too situational, you want melee to move and engage, and support characters far from most enemies because they get knocked out very fast. It's better for melee characters because they'll support each other more often, but even then if you can get a passive skill with a pure stat bonus (like +to hit) or one with a bigger bonus that requires a specific character's support, the one that works all the time is better.

 

[Sentinel]

That's not even mentioning enemies with large aoe attacks or debuffs.

Yeah that's mainly the reason for my question. I'm up to chapter 4 and facing tons of enemies that just throw bombs at me and I'm wondering why I would ever want my dudes to be together. I was wondering if it changes at all late-game.

Thanks for the response.
