RPGs with fast progression?

Dungeons of Dredmor

This is a fantastically underrated game.

This looks like Robotron lol

You think Dredmor looks like Robotron?

Weird, also disagree both about how it looks and how it plays.

Now Vampire Survivors and all its knockoffs look like Robotron and ones like Halls of Torment can be set up to play like Robotron too, should you want that.

Couple screens look to have the bullethell feel. Smash TV also comes to mind.

Dungeons of Dredmor is a turn based roguelike with a graphical UI on it by default.

Yes, I know. Just picked it up. If you watch the vid in the Steam store you’ll see rooms with like fifty mobs.

If you’re good at Robotron (and I was) it ends up being effectively a bullet hell with mobs as the bullets.

Yeah, there are rooms like that.

Anyway, I get what you mean now.

Yeah, there are rooms like that.

The Monster Zoo. Holy crap, I nearly shit myself when I first encountered that.

ARK Survival Evolved levels up annoyingly often in the beginning, but after a while it starts to calm down.

I wouldn't say it's annoying so much as it's fairly crazy the stuff you don't know when you start off ARK. Thank God the progression is quick at the start so I can figure out how to make a pile of grass to sleep on.

I think the purpose is to quickly make players addicted to leveling. Otherwise the game could simply have let your character start with a few more basic skills.

Heh, also a bullet hell:



Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Warhammer 40 K Rogue Trader, you'll level up again before using the ability you got from previous level up!

Warhammer 40 K Rogue Trader

This is trash. I mean I knew that it is going to be, tried it anyway and quit after a few hours. Cringe dialogue, bad ruleset, system bloat, Owlcat has it all.

 

[Laz Sundays]

Oblivion. Level up by simply moving.

 

[NecroLord]

Arcanum leveling is very fast.

Especially if you hit your enemies very often and do serious damage.
I think every hit you land on an enemy grants you a small amount of experience and it can quickly add up.

Exactly. Never got good enough at it to get to bullet hell levels. I think the joystick was designed to be wonky to eat quarters. Almost as bad as the one on Venture.

Deadliest thing in Berserk was the walls, followed by the angry sun.

Classic. I sucked at Berserk too but loved it. I'd actually forgotten about it until LB posted it here though.

Probably could've bought a car with all the money I dropped into arcades over the years.

I think I'm entering a roguelike cycle

I like reasonably fast progression. Don't like waiting forever for a level. It doesnt have to be Tales of Mah Eyal or Diablo, but something like ToEE, Wizardry 6-8 or MMX. So slightly faster than average, don't like slogs.

legends of amberland? it's pretty decent with some snappy progression. extremely might and magic-ish.

this janky shit right here i had a decent time with, also m&m and quick
