@Osmanthus: As much as I like The Huntress I wouldn't call her the best, but she's at the top alongside Acrid.

Oh man, I had a twoplayer run with a friend, I was playing HAN-D and he was running the huntress. We were doing ridiculously well, got the temple and redid the first two levels before realizing we probably should finish up (already being past the limit of the time bar) I unfortunatley got alpha'd off the map early on, but the huntress still came through in the end.

HAN-D is probably my favorite character now, maybe it was because of all my healing items, but that guy is a hell of a tank. I was pushing around huge mobs of enemies, and with dual Willowisps and gasoline I was basically rolling in spare drones to heal myself.

I bought this on Steam a couple of days ago. I want to tell you all about my first successful of with the Commando on the default difficulty setting (After a little above 30 deaths).

To cut a long story short, I had like six drones throughout the run, one of which launched missiles, and even managed to get a drone repair kit. I made it to the final boss and beat him on the first try without dying. I managed to unlock two characters in the process and survived over 45 minutes, my best so far.

And the difficulty was HAHAHAHA when I got to him.

after a point HAHAHAHA is pretty typical for a run, I don't typically feel all that rushed anymore, but I'm glad you're doing well! I really look forward to when you unlock the mercenary, he's my favorite class now :)

I get the impression that despite the time limits the game forces on you, what's really at stake is the items you get, not the levels you clear. Ideally you want to clear a level of all it's reasonably reached treasures before fighting a boss.

In co-op my friend and I have played through the entire level set 6-7 time before going to the final level.

I'm trying to do Character Achievments, and so far, the one where you must reach the third teleporter without taking damage is looking like That One Achievement. I'd do co-op sometime if anyone's interested.

Miner is annoying to play IMO, even with my preference for melee characters. He's easy to find though :)

I know where to find him, but I keep getting ones where the tunnel doesn't appear. And the one time I did, the boss never showed up (This was before I activated the teleporter for the record).

that's odd, you should only have to walk onto the platform or something, I forget exactly

I'm down to the last two collectibles, and I need some help on beating the game on Monsoon with the Mercenary.

So, has anyone had issues with the latest update that added the two new characters?

And changed the system/engine/whatever game maker is called?

Not really, why are you asking? .-.

Yes, I've had problems. It's made co-op play nearly impossible, for one.

It screwed up the items in my file, causing me to recollect a few as well. Some enemies (The Parent enemies anyone?) can't jump so you can cheaply pick them off, someone said that an achievement couldn't be unlocked after completing it, and then there was a bug where the EXP would take forever to increase.

Neaaaaat. That's pretty damn cool. Wonder how the story shakes out to support it.
