What is Lethal Company and why are we covering it now?
Hello and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Normally on Thursdays we break down recent gaming news, but this week we ran into a problem. There just wasn't really any news that we wanted to cover here for this week. So instead, we have a first impression episode for you all on a new game that has been gaining a ton of momentum lately. We are going to be talking about Lethal Company. I am your host, Paul, the most profitable employee of the company. And joining me, the laziest employee, it's Josh. Dude, what was that behind me? Ryan? Ryan? Maybe most paranoid?
Paul? Guys, where are you? Guys? Anybody?
You know what, Josh? You are actually probably most paranoid. There were several times you had to remind me to keep talking because you did not know if I was alive or dead.
You guys freak me out, man. I do not like being left alone.
Yeah. All right. And then joining Josh and me, we all know there's only one award for this guy, especially in the way our matches went down here the last couple of weeks. he has sustained the most injuries by far it's ryan they're out to get me i tell you everything is out to get me ryan have you survived to the end of a single scrap run in lethal company i feel like you die no matter what uh i don't think i've gone through one without dying at all but you know you just gotta have some fun i was gonna say you have to live a little but i think that's all i did was live a little
Oh, brother, this guy stinks!
Yeah. You have had exceptionally bad luck in Lethal Company.
I'll just say that. And it is great as well. It's very funny.
I cannot explain how many matches ended with Ryan reviving and then we finally get to hear how Ryan died. Because a lot of times we had no idea where Ryan went or what happened. All right, this is going to be a lot of fun to talk about. Before we jump into Lethal Company, though, we'd like to ask everyone to rate our podcast five stars, leave a written review in Apple Podcasts. You can also find us on socials at Video Gamers Pod. And we would love for you to come support our show on Patreon. We continue to exist only because of support there. People who sign up get bonus episodes, tons of other perks. Go take a look at MultiplayerSquad.com. Alright, Lethal Company. I've got a Wikipedia description here for anyone who is not aware of the new hotness.
Here's how Wikipedia describes it. A co-op indie horror video game currently in early access. It blends exploration, survival horror, and strategy in a retro-futuristic dystopia where players take on the role of a contracted worker for the company. Players are tasked with collecting scrap from abandoned industrialized moons to meet the company's profit quota." All right, so I would say that this game is gaining a ton of steam. I'm not surprised to see that at all, despite being a lower budget indie game. I think it has all the makings of an indie hit. The game is incredibly simple. It is cheap. It's $10 for the full price tag. And this game is absolutely perfect for streamers. Are you guys kind of surprised to see this game gaining so much of a following?
I'll be honest, man. I'm not. There are certain games that come along that just resonate with people because they are just fun. A game does not have to have incredible gameplay or incredible graphics if it puts you in a situation to laugh with your friends. Like legitimately, if you price it right and you target it for what the game is intended for, it does not surprise me at all. I mean, we've seen this lately with games like Among Us, right? Super simple concept, super easy development. I'm not a developer, but you know what I'm saying as far as there's not a lot of complexity to the game itself. And these things tend to blow up, man. And I am not surprised one bit that this game is gaining the traction that it's gaining.
Yep, same.
It's just one of those, we see it with a lot of those types of games too, like you mentioned Among Us. Bopple, so much fun. $10, just recently came out. You can have definitely more than $10 worth of fun on it.
