Many players may never encounter it due to it being available only after the “big boss” is defeated. *Editor’s Note: Khomli is a late-game puzzle-heavy area that is very difficult but equally rewarding. And if you haven’t solved it yet, there’s one puzzle in particular which will explain why we felt obligated to do this. We were really proud of our puzzles (especially the ones in Khomli*), so we kept that whole section of the game a secret. What should have been monumental reveal became more of an “OK, finally, we got past the intro filler.” It removed all of the surprise from that scene. Thanks again man, I really do hope you enjoy the puzzles! As for why we thought keeping it a secret was a bad idea, it’s a long answer.ĭo you know about the story with Terminator 2? James Cameron originally wanted the reveal that the Terminator was a good guy to be a surprise, but marketing revealed that in the trailer. So I guess my jumping off point is what, in particular, makes you feel like your decision to keep the secrets a secret was a “really bad” one? I even recruited my fiancée to help me out, and both of us are still scratching our heads!Īnyway, I saw that tweet from earlier and it caught me a little off guard. I currently have this on my desk at all times: As a huge fan of Fez and The Witness, I’m getting that same joy.

With Full Metal Furies, I’ve been back to it almost daily, attempting to solve more monolith riddles and whatnot. These days, it’s too often that I drop a game after a review is done and don’t think about it much after that. My parts are in bold.įirst of all, thanks for making such a stellar game.
Specifically, I spoke with Teddy, Ryan, and Kenny Lee, the designer, producer, and programmer (respectively) behind Full Metal Furies.īelow is the raw interview, somewhat truncated for length, and with some notes from me for clarification on specific items.
We got in contact with the team back in January for an interview about their thoughts on the game’s reception. Turns out, this is not what Cellar Door Games had intended. Many, myself included, were very caught up in the brawler aspect and saw the puzzles as sidequests of sorts. For example, you may have to push a specific button (or use a specific skill) in a certain location, or even go in a direction that looks impassable until you try. The puzzles come in the form of riddle-esque monoliths hidden within the brawler levels and usually require some outside-the-box thinking. For those unaware, Full Metal Furies is a hybrid of brawler games like Castle Crashers and puzzle games like The Witness. This seemed like a very genuine tweet, which made that last line stick out even more. We wanted to keep it a secret, and we succeeded! But I think in hindsight that was a really bad idea. Yeah, the puzzles are almost half the game. I’ve been following Cellar Door on Twitter since Rogue Legacy, and a particular tweet stuck out to me: Two months after release, and the follow-up to Rogue Legacy has less than ten reviews. Turns out, it didn’t even have the four required reviews for a Metacritic score. As per usual, I like to see what other critics have thought of the games I reviewed. I played it, I enjoyed it, and felt that it earned an 8.5 on our review scale. I was also excited when I learned that I was going to be the one reviewing the game for the site. Naturally, I was excited when the developers at Cellar Door Games announced they were working on another title, Full Metal Furies, even if it was not like Rogue Legacy at all. It wasn’t perfect, but as a debut title in the roguelike genre, it was a fantastic experience. Rogue Legacy took a lot of people, myself included, by surprise. So too, an interest in Magic: The Gathering has persisted since William’s youth, and he can frequently be found watching Magic streams on Twitch and reading over the latest set spoilers.An interview on Full Metal Furies’ reception and where they went wrong

Now, William enjoys playing Super Mario Maker 2 on the Switch with his daughter and finding time to sneak in the newest From Software game when possible. This interest reached a height with MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, on which William spent considerable time up until college. William’s first console was the NES, but when he was eight, it was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Game Boy that fully cemented his interest in the format. All the while, William’s passion for games remained. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, William entered the realm of fine arts administration, assisting curators, artists, and fine art professionals with the realization of contemporary art exhibitions.
