Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. On this indie-focused episode, we'll be taking a look at the recent release of Tales of Iron 2, taking a look at a hilarious-looking game called Headliners, taking a tour of the Mute House, and talking about a very good-looking game called Sworn that looks like Hades with the art style of Darkest Dungeon and its multiplayer... Plus more. But before we get into that, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he's currently running for his life from some monstrous invader, but he's got his camera filling. Oh, oh, nope, nope. He just got ripped in half. It's Ryan. My guts, my guts.
Ah! Make sure you get that on film. Make sure you get that on film.
You guys got that right? You guys got it? Yeah, okay. All right, all right, good.
And joining us, he's the indie dude himself, the guy that found Sworn and has me and Ryan and soon to be all of you excited for it. It's Ace of Shame.
Oh, dude, Sworn is a hidden treasure that I cannot wait to talk about.
I don't like you, Ace. I like you, but I don't like you because you did your video for Dredge the other day, and I showed it to my wife, and she's like, well, this game looks great. So you cost me $30, then you put Sworn in front of us, and it's like, I don't know how much this game's going to be. I'm guessing $25, and now you cost me $25, Ace. You're getting expensive, buddy.
Hey, that's the beauty of indies though. At least, you know, it's not going to be $70. This is very true. This is true.
It's kind of nice to know, like it's probably going to be $25, you know? And if it's more than that, that means they're confident enough in this, that they're like a little more.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's a good question. What is premium indie game price? I'm going to say $40.
I've never seen an Indy go over $40. I would say $40 is the highest I've seen an Indy go.
I feel like $40 is like the... We've got something special here. We're still an Indy company, so we're going to charge the most we can charge. And I feel like $40 is that high point.
What do you think, Ryan? That's an audacious number for sure.
Like that's... Man, $40 for an Indy... Currently Googling audacious?
$40 for an Indy seems a little wild, but... I would say typically 25, 30. That's, that's that high spot.
Okay. So we just also realized that Ryan's the cheap one out of the three of us. Ryan does not.
I don't appreciate Indies as much as you guys. Maybe. Hey, we're here to change that, man. Yeah. That's what we're here for.
Yeah. Man, we have a lot to talk about. Ace, you being our indie wizard here, honestly, you found all of these games that we're going to talk about today. And I'm actually kind of hyped for all of these, man. So why don't we start off with the Tales of Iron 2? Now, this is a game that you were insanely hyped for. I mean, I feel like almost daily you were just posting videos for Tales of Iron 2, tagging Ryan and I and, you know, a lot of people in the Discord server. And then it finally released. And I know that you have played it. I know that. Have you beaten it yet?
I have 100%ed it already, actually.
You have 100%ed Tales of Iron 2. Oh, here we go. Okay. I mean, I don't know what that says, but, but the game did release. So let's, without spoiling your thoughts on this case, cause we are going to do a deep dive on this. Um, what do you like, you know, the game has kind of come out to, I don't, is it fair to say like mid reception?
I would say lukewarm to mid, yeah, mid-reception would be fair. A lot of people are unhappy with the length of the game. That was one thing. A lot of people said it should have been a DLC for the first game, which I won't say if I disagree or agree with that.
Now, I saw 15 hours to beat. Does that sound about right?
Yeah, 15 to beat for sure, if you're not familiar with the game especially.
Okay. So maybe a little bit less for somebody that is familiar.
I beat it. I 100% it in 12.
Okay. Okay. I mean, it's $24.99. It's like 12 hours worth of entertainment. That's still good value. Two tickets.
