Author Topic: difficult games to play?  (Read 9215 times)

i like games with lots and lots of di(ck)fficulty in them. unfortunately i'm slowly running out of games with that kind of content.

i've played (also beat some of) the following:
I Wanna Be The Guy
Nuclear Throne
Enter The Gungeon
Downwell
Crypt of the Necrodancer
some Touhou games
Bullet Heaven 1 & 2
other IWBTG fangames
Bad Rats

however i'm not sure of what else to play. do you guys know of anything that could be fun for me to play based on what i have?

here's my steamdb page with a majority of my games in case i have one and i'm just a blind idiot

thx for any help n_n

DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu's Black Label mode.

there's difficult point n clicks but i dont think you're going for that

SWAT 4 on Elite mode seems pretty hard, maybe Super Meatboy too?

overwatch solo queue comp at silver/gold level

Hotline Miami 1 and 2.
Hotline Miami 2 has incredibly bullstuff level design, but since you liked IWBTG Enough to finish it, i'm guessing you like that kind of game.

DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu's Black Label mode.

will consider if i ever end up buying it for the x360
or getting a x360
or having the money for an x360
welp

nah, thx for the idea tho

SWAT 4 on Elite mode seems pretty hard, maybe Super Meatboy too?

considering, although FPSes on hard difficulties seem to have notoriously unfair difficulties afaik
i've beaten super meat boy, but i still need to get the dark world ending and clear The Cotton Alley

overwatch solo queue comp at silver/gold level

hey now that's a bit TOO hard

Hotline Miami 1 and 2.
Hotline Miami 2 has incredibly bullstuff level design, but since you liked IWBTG Enough to finish it, i'm guessing you like that kind of game.

beat hotline miami on vita, that was fun
i should buy hotline miami 2, the first was rly good and difficult and i'll probably like the 2nd as well if it's even harder

It's more of a Tactical Shooter, you need to make sure none of your officers die whilst taking out suspects, handcuffing everyone, reporting everything, securing evidence, deactivating bombs and a few other things.

Again, it's not an FPS, it does have first person shooting, but it's far from an FPS.


The original Crash Bandicoot is pretty hard because of the D-Pad and stuff. If you want to take it a step further, try to 100% the game. Good luck.

idk about yall but ive never been able to beat dark souls

Bloody Trapland is probably a IWBTG fangame. It's also multiplayer.
Chroma Squad can be difficult if you start on a high difficulty. It may seem easy at first, but it's very punishing on mistakes.
And you'll have to deal with that punishment for the rest of your playthrough.
Styx: Master of Shadows has a difficulty setting. This doesn't just up the damage of enemies. This makes them smarter, making the stealth elements of the games much harder. It also does up their damage, making head on combat very, very undesirable. Detection, and even almost-detection is punishing. Unlike games like Elder Scrolls and the Tenchu series, guards don't just return to their post, thinking that body or assassin they saw was just their imagination. To your advantage though, and unlike Elder Scrolls, they will actually search around where they suspect you'll be, instead of bee-lining towards you until a 'certain amount of time has passed of no vision'. You can even use this to put guards in more favorable positions.
Thumper is a pretty intense rhythm horror game. Controller highly recommended, but not required. Game has 5 buttons/2 controls. Left stick/WASD and A/Space. The simple controls makes the game feel more pleasant to play, despite it's relatively intense difficulty.

Dark Souls-like games are only artificially difficult. The games are large non-punishing tutorials, aside from Demons' Souls, which increases the difficulty of the area you die in. The enemies throw high damage attacks that give you no indication to how the attack will behave. You die, but you now know how that enemy's attacks work. And then you go and pick up the souls/blood/salt/chips you lost from dying, which removes the punishment altogether, and then you kill it.
