I got the humble bundle and finally got around to playing nuclear throne. I was pretty impressed, the gameplay feels so much smoother and more fun than gungeon. So glad to finally have picked it up. What are the bugs/flaws I need to look out for though?
Hmm, a few that come to mind:
1. Glitched crown vaults. There's not a whole lot of reason to go to these in a general sense really since the crowns are still as bad as ever, but if you DO go to them, know that there's a pretty good chance of getting a bugged vault. AKA, a vault that also thinks it's part of another level, and stuffed with random enemies and glitched-out walls.
2. The level-gen issues with 5-3 were NEVER FIXED. The issues with that boss also were NEVER FIXED. Despite that complaints kept up non-stop for an entire year. So expect trouble on that level, and know that it can be *way* more dangerous than the entire rest of the game because of these things, when they occur. I just love Vlambeer *rolls eyes*
3. Enemies can sometimes get jammed right through walls. Sometimes this causes issues, sometimes it just blinks them out of existence. Fortunately, this is pretty rare but you'll see it happen every now and then when blasting them with stuff.
4. Not a "bug" per say, but if I recall correctly, the daily runs still allow the player to grab crowns. In other words, grab the crown of blood EVERY TIME (the one that makes lots more enemies spawn), or you WILL place low on the boards. AKA, still broken. Again, this was complained about for a LONG time... ignored...
Those are the ones that spring to memory right away. There's a lot more bugs than that though. Vlambeer doesn't really.... fix stuff. They've always tended to ignore things.
Also the Pizza Sewers is still the only secret level worth bothering to go to. Unless you want a golden weapon, then YV's mansion has a point. But other secret areas, don't bother with them unless you are missing a character unlock (Chicken, from the jungle area).
Here's hoping that modders can continue doing more with this beyond just the co-op stuff. The game really needs it in some areas. I mostly would really like to see the crowns revamped or replaced with something that's a bit more interesting.
