I continued that last campaign off-stream, and sadly it didn’t go well for me. But that’s to be expected of a roguelike. It just means we start over.
Fortunately, I was able to get past the first showdown before I hit Record.
I’ve hit the point in this roguelike where I haven’t beaten a campaign yet, but I feel like I have the skills and tools necessary in order to do that. Part of that was built in with my map knowledge from all the time I’ve spent in the World of Assassination trilogy, but the rest is coming from the many runs I’ve made both on and off stream.
For example, I didn’t know about the guard in the security room of Dubai that always holds a silenced SMG until I realized that guards weren’t being alerted by the gun I stole from him. These days, I try to start off in Dubai if at all possible simply because I want a silenced gun and I know that’s always available.
It’s a feature of the genre, and part of what I love about it.
