Hello, hello, good day. We're going in blind to this demo of slot bound. I haven't played this before. I saw it when I was browsing Steam and thought, you know what, this might be a fun one. So, yeah, I have no idea what to expect here. We're going to go with whatever it gives us. I don't spin the slot to summon units and stop the enemy waves. Uh, take a look at the tutorial, no, we don't believe in tutorials. Actually we do, but, you know, I'm not gonna do that. Sweet archers, okay, cool. Yeah, we're absolutely gonna keep spinning. Oh, a warrior, okay. Sure, okay. Can I put this guy in front? Yeah, okay, I can, it says there. It's the battle button to begin combat, you know, it's quite automatically. Hey, but what if I, hey, not, hey, hey, hey, hey, I wanted to get more guys. Okay. Feels like we're getting a little bit of tutorial anyway. You know what? That's all right. Okay. So now we go spear, and... Oh, middle nudge. Okay. Once per wave, okay. Units grow stronger through absorb. Spearman into Archer. Okay. Right. Yeah, okay, I got Pierce. Can I do that with these guys? I did that. I did that, thanks. Yeah, I see that. Cool, okay. Okay, can you... Oh, no, it won't let me... Okay, I want to see what happens when I stick two warriors together. But I see that we're a little bit locked to, uh, to a core selection. What does that mean? What's core selection? Okay, first time you create a two-star unit, that symbols, appearance, chance increased this by 5% for one per rock. Oops, I didn't make to click that, but I did, so, so be it. Alright, let's see here. We got two. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to select this guy into... Okay, that, I guess. Really use absorbed to raise archer to level 5. Okay, so I can get a patroller, or a crossbowman. Let's go with a crossbowman. Let's try this. Okay, cool. Yeah, sure, show me the shop. measurement abilities of boss waves, regardless of your remaining lives, losing either wave ends the run immediately. Okay, so we've got $544 bucks. This guy here. And let's see, can you guys kind of all? Like that, what if I take you onto you? Oh, okay, yeah. So you do, Okay, cool, cool, cool. I like that. What is this? Right, that's the core that we got. There's three spins left, we may as well use at least one of them. Let's nudge down, get our archer. It's here now. We're going to turn that off, we don't need that. Um, cool, alright, let's fight. Is this spins left for the map, or spins left for this? Okay, yep, I see. I see, I see. Uh, okay, we're gonna spin again. What's the crown? Oh, that's cool. Uh, let's see here. Yeah, so we got nothing. Nata. Let's try again. We definitely got that. Can I still? Okay, no, I can't, I can't click the lines once I've already done one. That's cool. We're going to Warrior into Warrior. We're going to get buildup. Stick them in there. Do another one. I don't want that horse, man. Oh, there's no real way for me to do that, is there? Yeah, nope. Turn that off. Let's go one more. One more pole. See if we can get anything good. We don't really, but we're going to take you into you. We're going to volley. Extra strike. What is this? Growth acceleration. Ah, okay. What do you do? Survive. And blast enemy. Survive, throw instinct, okay, cool. Let's try this wave. Okay, this is a fun little demo, I like this. Um, okay, what do we have here? Uh, okay, so that's, frontmost ally takes 7 % less damage. Mages, I don't have any. Spearman plus 6 damage. What are these? Delete held items, and re-roll, okay. And these are four, uh, crystally things. Now the only ones that I can get are the frontline armor and a re-roll. Uh, so I guess, I kind of want to do nothing, honestly. I want to roll some slots. Um, yeah, okay. And that was my one for this, uh, yeah. If a nudge creates no win, regain one nudge after the next spin. Oh, that's pretty good. If a losing spin contains four or more of the same simple, gain plus one shard? crystal thing horizontal core. Winning a horizontal line reduces the next spin cost by 40%. Can I have multiple... Can I have multiple cores at once? I can. Well, that's pretty nice. Okay. Oh, I don't have enough. I don't have enough money. Okay. Fight. this, no problem, there we go. Are we got a red crystal? No, we didn't get a red crystal. What did we get? Oh, we just got a bunch of crystals. Okay, let's re-roll this. What do we have? Ranged allies take 8% less damage. Ah, okay. This incentivizes having only three allies. Uh, but it's pretty cool. 5% speed is, I guess, what that symbol is, right? That would be pretty useful, I think. Let's try that. Uh, let's pull. Let's see what we get, we get, uh, a lot of Pupkiss, a lot of nothing. If I nut this down, is there a chance we get a mage. No, but we did get an archer, so yeah, that's okay, I guess. We are going to pull him into here, though. Yeah, awesome. Volley 2. Oh, okay, okay, sure. You come into here, go piercing 2. You come here. You kind of need somebody else with the front line. Ooh, there we go, mage, never mind. I wonder what the crown is. I don't, I can't get anybody else. I don't want to sacrifice the mage for anything just yet, so we're just going to see if we can survive with this. I don't know if we can. Let's see, a little wizard guy. Yeah, has some fireballs. Sweet. All right, my warrior's dead. Does he come back at the end? Oh, yeah, okay, sweet, he does. That's great. What do we got here? Cavary. Yeah, ranged. He has one ally at 30% or less for 10% of max hearts. That's pretty decent. These guys haven't been taking hits so far, but I'm going to guess that we're going to get two enemies that also have ranged, but... this maybe, let's spin these because we got them and... Let's do another pull. Nothing. I could get an extra spearman, and what I'm gonna do is, we're gonna pull him into here, we're gonna get extra, we're gonna get extra levels. because we want our frontliner to take some damage here. Okay, we're gonna do that, I think, again, honestly. Take him, whoop. Plus two levels, so he's level six. So he'll be a soldier or a pirate. Launches a blade wave forward, 100% attack damage to up to two enemies. That's pretty good. Frenzy. soldier here let's go with that yep cool this uh okay yeah yeah yeah that make sense no If I notice this down, we get a spearman, and we can give him to you, pierce extra. Absolutely, okay. Another one. I think we've got enough for one more. Oh, look at that, okay. First winning symbol of each wave gains 8 % appearance chance for that wave. Winning on a vertical prevents the next spin from Spin and cost from increasing. Okay. Losing a spin, I kind of like this one. Let's go with Echo Mirror. Because a lot of times when I lost the spin, I have noticed that there's four of the same item on screen. Okay, sweet. We're going to pull him into here. Get an extra volley. Our mages. weak, but that's okay. Let's go ahead and see what happens here. I have to remember that this exists. Does it automatically go? Do I have to click it? No. It must automatically happen. Two turns left until we have the big boss. Let's see what we can get. Nothing. Ooh, more nothing. Harsh, okay. That's all right. We're gonna be fine. It's gonna be great. Oh no, no, we died. Okay, so that brought down one of our lives, one of our lives, I guess. Yeah. Okay, so we still did get a little bit of gold for that, so that's, you know, not terrible, let's try. Let's spin, okay, we got an archer. Fantastic, let's pull our archer, maybe into our mage. Sure, okay. Now it's gonna be a boss, boss fight, let's see what we got. Nothing. Nudge is really only useful if you know that for sure that there's one you can get. Yeah, that's it. Okay, we got a chance it. Let's see what we can do. Wave 10. Grim wolf fork. Get them, guys. Okay, we got that piercing ammo. That's fantastic. Really, really helpful. Okay, we did see that prock at the end there. And we've got our three guys left. We're gonna die here, for sure. Yeah, that's okay. That is cool. What a neat game. Okay, best unit was our soldier. Let's, what does this do. The seal on upgrades, uh... Yeah, okay, sure. Oh, okay. Now this is where the Rogelight comes in. I see. Or at least, you know, one of the ways that that comes in. Okay, so that's my upgrades. Available in the full version. So if I play it again... Okay, we do get that one. And then it looks like there's, so a total of six. We can go all the way to hard. And now our guys are going to have a little bit extra health right off the hop. Because we got that upgrade, which is handy. Yeah, okay. Very cool. Alright, yeah, I can see myself playing this. This is a neat little game. Spin again. Nothing. Ooh. Contain one. What is that? After I lost, the next spin cost 25 goal less. What is that? What is this? I need that. What is that? What do you? What kind of? Okay. So does that mean I need to do six spins in a row? I wonder. Ah, this round got me. all of nothing. Whatever that is, it's cool. Yeah, we're gonna die here. Well, maybe not. Ooh, who, who, who, barely a victory, but it was, in fact, a victory, so. Dualists. All allies get 5% health. That's huge. Let's do that. So that's a big win for us. another warrior another warrior another warrior okay we're gonna merge all of these guys into one about this for sure, right? Ooh, maybe not. Oh, we got newt. That was bad. Oh, shameful, that was a shameful defeat. Okay, what is that? Oh, it's like a wild card. Okay. Oh, that's cool. So it automatically completes. Oh, and we finally get a cavalry. Okay, despite the wave. Okay, that's really, really cool. That is a really good upgrade. I like that one a lot. Sure. Sure, we'll do that one. Archer. I want to see what this guy gives, Overdrive. Okay. We know what the Spearman gives. Um, I don't think there's anything that I could possibly get, even with a nudge. Now, this one there is. The next shop re-roll cost that. I'm sure that has a use, but I don't know. I don't know what it would be for me. I am going to get that, though. We're going to merge these archers together. Svali. And yeah, we can't do anymore. We got this. We got this in the bag. No problem. We got four. We don't need any of that stuff. High 6p. Oh, that's pretty good. All pretty good things in the shop. Go back to the fight menu, though. Okay, we got an archer again. Oh, okay, so it doesn't necessarily... It just guarantees a jester shows up. If I go down one, yeah, no, okay. That was worth a try. I still want to know what this crown guy is. So the first engagement warriors take 10% less damage for six seconds. I could increase this, and I want that, I want the healing again. Uh, we do have some more money though, so let's use it. Uh, let's use it. Uh, let's use it again. Nothing, nothing this whole time. Um, okay, that's all right, we'll take our chances. I think we're gonna have to merge some people here. Although it does help to have multiple targets that they can try and kill. I think this one is gonna be close. Yeah, we did still win, which is nice, but... That was close. Okay, we can merge you into this guy, I think. Let's get the piercing hit. That was worth the chance. No, it wasn't worth the chance. Oh, darn it. This might be decent, although this is, uh, yeah, let's go with that maybe. This is a case where I could have used that I just used, but it just wasted. Ah, but I didn't, so, oh well. I'm still going to take us down to two health on... Yeah, okay, take us down to one health, we lose a health per person that goes through. I see. Yeah. Okay, I think what we need to do here, honestly, is bring this spearman... into maybe the warrior, taking him of two levels, will, yeah, yeah, we'll get the soldier again. Um, no, no, no, no, cancel, didn't mean to do that. Um, okay, now let's do some rolls, I think we only get like two, maybe three. What can I do here? Nothing. Let's not make the same mistake as last time. Um, okay. Boom, we got Marcher, okay. Uh, you get another, please. Let's pull him and shoot him. Get that extra volley. Oh, buns, okay. Wave 9. Let's see what we get here. I don't know if we're going to survive or not. Pierce is doing some good work, but yeah, we lose. Darn, okay. Yeah, I immediately, I see myself losing and I want to play again. So, yeah, fun little game. We get another upgrade token. Like it. and we should start holding onto these because we, yeah, we need a bunch more of these. This is a game that I will be wishlisting, for sure. This is cool, this is fun. I really like this. If you like it, it's slot-bound. There is an open demo on Steam, of course. I will link it down below. and yeah, give it a try. I have enjoyed this, I don't know, 30 odd minutes of testing this out. I'm going to play another round here. Before I fall asleep, it's like 11 o 'clock in Saskatchewan, but we're going to try this anyway, so until then, happy gaming. Thanks for hanging out, and see you next time.
