I mentioned it yesterday but i've been playing Maiden & Spell, which is a 1v1 competitive bullet hell game with a super cute style to it. I've only played the single player so far but its very fun and the bosses go into these phases that I imagine work more like traditional bullet hell bosses. I'm new to the genre so I'm just guessing that its like a shmup but scarier. But they throw out cool patterns and its kind of a DPS race to get to the next phase before you get overwhelmed. And I'm like this is really cool but this is obviously not how the versus mode will work

Then I found out that the dev is currently making a similar game but its a 4 player MMO raid style roguelite. Which is very direct to my interests. My favorite thing about FF14 is doing extreme trials but I cant be fucked to get a group together because people constantly waste your time by lying about how well they know the fights. So if you can do runs with only two or 3 people, or solo if you feel like it, AND it has loot drops to tickle my autism I might play a lot of that in the future. Its called Rabbit and Steel. Theres a demo on steam I'll probably check out later

The funny thing about Maiden & Spell is a bunch of reviews for that and Quantum Protocol are like "I'm so glad One Step from Eden made me aware of this" and then Duelists of Eden made me aware of them so I hope Mino Dev is getting another little boost in popularity from that game releasing. I haven't tried Quantum Protocol but I highly recommend One Step, Duelists, and Maiden at least

Duelists of Eden Review - (Steam)

DISCLAIMER: One Step From Eden is one of my favorite games of all time. As such, I must acknowledge the fact that I may be biased towards its sequel, Duelists of Eden. However, I think this review accurately conveys what I think about the game, separate from my personal feelings and potential biases.

Genre shifts often lead to utterly confusing releases. Franchises can take their well-known gameplay and throw it out for something different, like Final Fantasy confusingly replicating Devil May Cry-style combat and the Sonic franchise’s persistent identity crisis. However, sometimes a genre shift allows the mechanics and style of prior releases to flourish in new and exciting ways. Duelists of Eden accomplishes this, as it constructs an excellent fighting game off the mechanics and gameplay of predecessor (One Step From Eden).

Duelists takes the numerous spells of One Step From Eden- the first game’s strongest aspect- and decides to give players full access to every single one. Whereas spells provided replayability and randomness in One Step’s rogue-like gameplay, Duelists gains variation and adaptability by letting players slap together whatever combination of 8-to-10 spells their heart desires. Deck-building in Duelists feels akin to developing party members in RPGs like Octopath Traveler; the game provides all the tools needed to create absurdly powerful strategies.

Although Duelists builds heavily on One Step, it doesn’t quite play like its predecessor. Combat still features 4x4 grids and a pool of mana that restricts spell-casting frequency, but Duelists introduces several new actions to increase gameplay depth. Amassing shields and attempts to evade enemy fire are replaced with dedicated block and dodge buttons, and each character now features two unique attacks. These mechanics allow the combat to feel less like back-and-forth slap fights and more like the brutally fast-paced bouts seen in mainstream fighting games.

The unique attacks not only make every character distinctive but also allow the crossover characters to feel livelier. The attacks these guest stars bring to gameplay function like one familiar with their origins would expect them to, but none of them feel like they got haphazardly dropped into Duelists. At the risk of sounding vapid, Queen-- from Quantum Protocol-- plays like how I’d expect Queen to operate in One Step-style combat.

Additionally, none of the characters feel restricted by their unique attacks. Neera’s attacks encourage builds involving frost damage, but a frost deck with Selicy feels just as effective. Queen and Hazel revolve around building structures, but one can use a deck building off these attacks or a deck with spells that work in conjunction with these attacks. The only thing preventing a deck from being effective in combat is how effectively one can develop synergy between their play style, spells, and character.

It's important to note- at the time of writing (March 8th)- Duelists still needs polishing. While the main game seems free from critical issues, one will inevitably notice the occasional minor hiccup. It’s a game still in progress, albeit one that feels close to completion. However, Duelists of Eden- to the extent of my knowledge- was mostly programmed by a single person. The state the game launched in and the fervor- and speed- with which the developer fixes problems is nothing short of miraculous and impressive!

Speaking of the Gauntlet mode… It’s ok? A lackluster single-player mode in a game primarily concerned with online multiplayer does not make the overall experience terrible. However, Gauntlet mode lacks the panache seen from other fighting game single-player modes like Classic Mode from Super Smash Bros, and the overall dryness of Gauntlet mode feels odd. However, any awkwardness derived from Gauntlet mode quickly washes away due to the quality of the gameplay.

All in all, I give Duelists of Eden a tentative 9/10- which may become a 10/10 as the game progresses and my thoughts have more time to digest- and I highly, HIGHLY recommend it for its cheap $5 price tag!

Hello, Yu-gi-oh! anon here! Thanks a lot for answering my ask :)

Really liked the idea of the Apple acting like the Puzzle, being a trigger for the ancestors to connect with Desmond! I’d like to think that after what Desmond went through it would be very comforting to know someone you can trust completely understands you and has your back - even if that person is technically not alive anymore. But at least the warmth of a kindred soul is there, right? And if he connects with his other ancestors…. Well. He won’t have to feel so alone.

Though, not gonna lie, I’m curious what a full on Yu-gi-oh! au would look like….. Egyptian God Cards as Isu POEs….

I’m glad you liked my idea! (Here’s the link to the Altaïr possesses Desmond ala Yami Yugi idea for those curious)

It would definitely be something akin to multiple possessions and having people in your mind comforting and supporting you when no one else would. In this situation, Ezio would wake up in Desmond’s consciousness after he watches Minerva’s message but Ratonhnhaké:ton would wake up after he took the Temple key from his father’s dead body.

But all of them remember all their memories up to their death so they’re certain they’re not Bleeds.

How could they be when Desmond’s genetic memories of them should stop after they conceived the child that would be Desmond’s ancestor?

It’s a mystery that they want to figure out. At the same time, they worry about Desmond, of course, because Desmond is… well… being his usual self which meant the three have their work cut out for them.

In this situation, they would believe being awaken inside Desmond meant that there is something more they must do, not just listen to Juno’s words.

This also means…

Desmond probably didn’t go in a coma and went straight to Ratonhnhaké:ton’s memories after receiving the Apple because Juno wouldn’t just have to control him, she’d have to stop Altaïr and Ezio from taking control back before she could stab Lucy.

That is… to say… if they haven’t figured out that Lucy is a Templar by then which is highly unlikely because the three of them would be suspicious of Lucy for far longer.

.

As for a Yu-Gi-Oh AU…

I’m thinking Desmond gets a puzzle like the Millennium Puzzle in the shape of the Apple of Eden and that awakens Altaïr as his ‘Yami’ personality.

They still play card games but this is more of the… ‘historical’ flavor. The main idea is that the card game they play uses Abstergo technology to have all those flashy special effects and Abstergo is also the company that held the card tournament that Desmond gets roped into because the price is another POE that might have a hint of Altaïr’s past.

A lot of cards are famous historical people and also historical events or ‘items’ and Desmond’s deck evolves the more he fights with the cards rewarded for winning supposedly random like gacha/loot boxes but that's very sus.

In a nutshell, there’s still the whole Assassins and Templars fighting in the background but now their battlefield is the tournament that’s stacked against the Assassins.

Desmond has no idea about any of these, he’s just there because Altaïr wants the prize.

Lucy is a fellow duelist who approached him to befriend him (she’s still working for Abstergo though but the Assassins believe she befriended him to help him because he has no idea what’s happening).

Unorganized Notes:

I’m tempted to make Malik Desmond and Altaïr’s Dark Magician but, considering how important he is to Desmond, it would actually be more accurate for Desmond’s Dark Magician to be Ezio.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is also one of his cards and his deck can actually be summarized as ‘cards that amps Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton up’ which includes the field card Monteriggioni that amps their HP as long as they’re marked as Assassins or Mercenaries, ‘magic’ cards like Hidden Blade which grants bonus attack, and trap cards like ‘Da Vinci’s Tank’ which bombards the enemy field if Ezio is specifically targeted. (Other ‘monster’ cards have effects that grants bonus to Ezio or Ratonhnhaké:ton (like Claudia and Faulkner) or call them to the field (Achilles and Mario))

Malik is also a card and he acts more like a tank card that lets Desmond draw an extra card every turn he’s in the field (aka: he’s there to make sure Desmond gets Ezio or Ratonhnhaké:ton as soon as possible). (Kadar is a card that, when defeated, summons Malik from the deck or hand to the field immediately. Malik is dealt damage equal to 1/8th of his total health though when he is summoned but Desmond will automatically draw 3 cards the first time he is summoned instead of 1)

Edward is also part of Desmond’s deck and he appears as the ‘monster’ (we need a different name for these kinds of cards) Edward can attack twice (but his attack is halved for each attack) and there's a Jackdaw spell card that, you guess it, let’s Desmond draw another extra card during his turn. If Edward is in the field with Jackdaw, his attack penalty is gone and he can attack twice with his full attack stat. If Edward and Ratonhnhaké:ton are on the field at the same time, Edward does a follow up attack (half without Jackdaw, full with Jackdaw) every time Ratonhnhaké:ton attacks. (Why ‘every’ time? Because the ‘monster’ card Haytham’s special skill is that it grants Ratonhnhaké:ton an extra attack each turn so yeah, getting Edward + Ratonhnhaké:ton + Haytham + Jackdaw on the field is OP)

There’s other monster cards that all have the same skill by the way. Every time they are killed, Desmond gets a badge. If he gets 3 badges, he can get Ezio from his deck and play him automatically on the field. These cards? Giovanni Auditore, Federico Auditore and Petruccio Auditore. Petruccio Auditore has low attack and low health. Playing him is really just to have a shield and for him to die. BUT, if you manage to summon Ezio with any of the three, Ezio absorbs any damage that’s meant for them (so that’s a double edged sword) AND his attack is increased by 25% for each of them. The monster card Claudia also has the same 25% bonus BUT she doesn’t give any 0.25% to Ezio and vice versa (but Ezio still gets the block 'penalty' for Claudia). There is a magic card that gives a permanent 25% attack bonus and a 10% regen each turn though called Maria Auditore and it applies to any card with the last name ‘Auditore’. (PS: Clay has Federico, Giovanni, Petruccio and Maria in his deck BUT not Claudia… as a reference to how his sessions ended around AC2 storyline)

Their trump card (kinda like their Exodia) is the card Aegis. It doesn’t attack but it can absorb any damage up to a point. The most annoying part of Aegis is that if you don’t destroy it in one turn, it will heal to full HP next turn. The downside is: there’s three pieces of Aegis and it has to be on the field all at the same time for it to activate.

Desmond’s deck is a very high risk, high reward deck that’s for sure

Desmond’s rival can be Clay (more on the trickster type rival) or Shaun. … maybe even Cross XD (Who is the Seto among the three? *shrug*)

What’s Abstergo’s end goal? No one actually knows but the truth is they can’t control what card is being ‘printed’. It’s actually based on a POE that they’re using for profit and to get the Assassins to make a move. The POE is in charge of the rewards after every battle as well.

The other historical Assassins will make an appearance as cards. Callum Lynch gets Arno and Aguilar. A woman by the name of Darcy Clarkson gets the Frye twins. Clay is the only other person to have a copy of Ezio but his deck is much more balanced and doesn’t focus too heavily on Ezio. Layla gets Bayek and Eivor. A woman by the name of Kass gets an OP card called 'Deimos'. This might be a hint that the people who get which cards have some connection to those cards.

The Egyptian god cards equivalent for this one is probably the Capitoline Triad (with Desmond getting Minerva, Clay getting Juno and... uuhhh... someone else getting Tinia???)

[lunaetis]

me talking about eden in f.ontaine has two modes.

serious : the stellaron inside of her would most likely tip ppl off. there are many parties that could seek to use that power for themselves and try to extract it out of her. extracting the stellaron out of her would surely kill her. if she doesn't comply they could try to frame her for a crime that'd result in her either in trial or fighting a champion duelist in a duel.

crack : SHE'S GONNA BE ARRESTED FOR GOING THROUGH THEIR TRASHCANS AND CHASING BIRDS / DOGS AND SWIMMING IN THE WATER RAILWAY OR FOUNTAIN OR JUST JUMPING OFF SOME HIGHER STRUCTURES AND GLIDING ALL OVER THE PLACES SOMEONE STOP THE FLYING RACCOON.
