Can you Beat Shadow Tower Abyss using only Guns? @BlinJe

Blinge #shadowtower #fromsoftware #kingsfield
Sun's out, guns out.

Back to the Tower. The dungeon crawler with guns.
Is it possible to ignore all melee and magic.. and beat the whole game using nothing but firearms?

Shadow Tower is similar to King's Field.. with a much heavier combat focus, and some unique mechanics, such as the durability system which is integral to the experience. The games have a more experimental feel, with unique and often bizarre designs in both the enemies and locales.

Can You Beat Eternal Ring Melee Only?

Blinge 2022-11-13 | #Eternalring #fromsoftware #canyoubeat

We did King's Field magic only..
..Let's do Eternal Ring with NO MAGIC.

Eternal Ring is a first person game with a *heavy* focus on magic in the combat. There are no build choices, you are supposed to play as a mage.

This game takes the established dungeon crawler format of King's Field, and gives it a more colourful, magical spin. Similarly to how they took the Souls formula and gave it a horror spin with Bloodborne.

We'll see if it's actually possible to win without using spells in combat, and if there's any enemy or situation that will block us from finishing the game.

(this game is nothing to do with Elden Ring)

Bloodstained 1986 Mode - One Life Clear - Hard

Blinge 2022-10-30 | #ritualofthenight #bloodstainedritualofthenight #bloodstained
No death playthrough of Bloodstained Ritual of the Night's Classic mode.
Hard mode on
1986 mode on

This mode removes most of Miriam's abilities, giving her the same moveset as Simon Belmont from the first Castlevania game, 1986.
ie: fully committal jumps, no air-control.
You access it by inputting the Konami code on the classic Title screen

"Classic mode" is a linear Castlevania game in its own right, but is a re-imagining of CV1 using the world of Bloodstained. I love it, it's a great tribute. It pays homage with some identical sections, usually at the beginning of a stage, before branching out and finding its own voice.

I take the lowest route through the Flooded City, which I feel is the hardest path!

This was a playthrough of crazy ups and downs! At certain points I'm caught in a time loop of getting an extra life then dying, at other times I go from plain sailing to down to my last life.

Grant is fast, has aerial jump control, can climb walls and ceilings, but his attacking range is tiny and weak, and he can only use the dagger and axe subweapons.

Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth+ - Ultra Hard Challenge

Blinge 2017-03-16 | Ultra Hard is one of the challenges added in the Afterbirth Plus DLC. It's freakin' brutal.

Added annotations to give some insight, I tried some live commentary but found it much harder to play well..
Also people seem to like the no commentary vids more.

In this challenge:
- No heart pickups drop. so items are the only way to get health back.
- All enemies spawn as champions if possible.
- Boss fights will be double trouble if possible.
-These Curses are always active:
Labyrinth - Always XL floors
Blind - Mystery items
Lost - No map
Maze - Sometimes warp to random rooms when going through a door

Binding of Isaac Afterbirth: Hard - One Run All Bosses - ???/Blue Baby

Blinge 2016-01-27 | *Please check out my other stuff. thx. Hail the Algorithm*

A run of Isaac: Afterbirth as ???. All bosses defeated including the boss rush, Hush, The Lamb and Mega Satan.
Featured on Awesome Game Replays: youtu.be/ZPCpWW2cEa0 - with commentary

To unlock the Boss Rush you must beat Isaac's Mom in under 20 minutes.
To Fight Hush you must beat It Lives in under 30 minutes.
To Reach Mega Satan you need two Key Pieces from defeated angels, or another means of opening the final door. Such as: Dad's Key or Get Out of Jail Free Card.

Character: ??? aka Blue Baby - Can only use soul hearts, regular red health won't work. A depleted soul heart is gone permanently and can't be refilled, you have to find new soul hearts to gain health. Health refill items don't work either.

I probably would've run out of time for Hush if I hadn't picked up Godhead in The Womb II. Clutchh

Items found: Speedball, Ball of Bandages, Chemical Peel, Satanic Bible, Pandora's Box, Magic Mushroom, Sad Onion, Evil Eye, Magic 8 Ball, Circle of Protection, Infestation 2, Match Book, Scatter Bombs, The Small Rock, The Negative, Book of Revelations, Box, GodHead, Mom's Eyeshadow, Capricorn, Guppy's Collar

Armed Police Batrider - Advance Course 1cc - Shorty B

Blinge 2016-01-15 | One credit clear of Batrider's Advanced Course. Score: 8,241,170

I faaacking love this game.
This is one of my most impressive shmupping feats, took me bloody ages. I find the RNG very hard to deal with, and this is the first time I've got the special extend trick to work on stage 5 :o. Advanced course is harder, and contains two further stages and the final boss.
Any scoring I'm doing is just to get extends.

shoutouts to Chempop, Squire, Shepardus, Ciox and Chum for good advice.

"Hail Raizing full of grace. Yagawa is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst Shmup devs, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Rank. Holy Raizing, mother of Yagawa, pray for us casuals, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."

Not gonna be wasting my time on that second loop - I get destroyed real quick.

Mahou Keibitai Gun Hohki - 1 Credit Clear (Mystic Riders)

Blinge 2015-03-26 | 1st loop clear of Irem's Cute 'em up, enduring until 2-4.

This game drove me insane for two weeks. Not sure if I'll play it again but trying to reach further into the second loop is tempting.

Ikaruga 1cc - Normal - 19mil

Blinge 2015-03-04 | ALL run of Ikaruga - Steam version.
**Checkout my channel for a fully narrated tutorial on how to beat Ikaruga**
The video had annotations once but fuck youtube eh? These tactics are intended for a beginner or mid- level Ikaruga player.
I ain't pretending to be a superplayer here ;)

Mechanics Primer:
Every enemy has black or white polarity. You are only vulnerable to physical objects and bullets of the opposing colour. You can switch between black and white polarity.

Scoring: Kill the same colour enemies in chains of 3. eg: 3 white, 3 black, 3 black.
Every subsequent chain nets a higher score bonus until your 10th chain, then the bonus is the same each time. Killing an enemy out of sequence loses your chain.

I'm far more practiced on the Dreamcast version of this game, and my muscle memory is for a Dreamcast controller, but this is a pretty decent run.

Darius Extra - 1 credit clear/No miss

Blinge 2014-10-06 | Darius is a 1986 arcade game by Taito, set in a cabinet 3 screens wide. I've stretched the video vertically as much as I can without sacrificing the feel of the game.

Route: ABDGKPZ

Split your lungs with blood 'n' thunderrrr

I've finally beaten Great Thing, the iconic Darius series final boss.
No miss = no deaths, but you're fucked if you die and lose your powerups in this game. This run was far from perfect, I missed an extra life powerup at the beginning of zone Z which screwed me out of loadsa points. I also take way too many hits to my shield in the early game, and arrived in zone P with the bare minimum powerups to get through but I manage to focus towards the end and keep hold of a shield from K zone all the way to the last boss.

2:15 Boss 1 - King Fossil
3:20 B zone
5:20 Boss 2 - Electric Fan
6:32 D zone
8:40 Boss 3 - Dual Shears
9:57 G zone - This stage can make or break a run, getting enough red orbs here is crucial
11:15 Red orb troll
12:00 Boss 4 - Fatty Gluton. Defeated it with no shield
13:10 K zone
15:15 Boss 5 - Keen Bayonet
16:47 P zone
18:50 Boss 6 - Iron Hammer. usually I find it much tougher
20:10 Z zone - AKA the boss fountain. It's easy enough if you're powered up and can take out the rear enemies with quad missles.
22:05 Final Boss - Great Thing
It's mostly attrition but I manage to dodge *some* of it...

Blinge 2014-09-02 | Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi by CAVE

Huge accomplishment, getting this one!...
It's a survival run with sub-optimal scoring. Some truly clutch moments though, Stage 5 is so brutal

2:00 Boss 1 - Bullfrog
4:44 Boss 2 - XM-117 Sphynx
7:10 1-up: Destroy all sections of the Vindogradov battleship without bombing
8:33 Boss 3 - Jamadhar
9:25 The pattern ever
12:51 Boss 4 - Cinderella Amber (wat)
14:18 First Death
14:41 Day of Judgement
16:12 1-up: Take out both EVAC choppers without bombing
17:43 Good performance in The Descent for me
18:34 Still don't know how to deal with this section
19:01 The dodging ever
19:44 Final Boss - Evaccaneer

I'll see DOOM one day..

Progear 1-ALL 15.8mil ( 1cc )

Blinge 2014-04-25 | One credit clear of Progear's first loop.
One of the reasons i love this game is that each run is different, unique crazy shit happens everytime I have a decent credit.
I don't really have a fixed route either, a lot of the scoring and bullet-cancels are improvised.

Oh and I cut out the ending because reasons.
