Exploiting magnets made me FILTHY RICH at the arcade!

Part 2! Dungeon Clawler is one of the most addictive games I've played this year. Using a claw machine you win prizes that give you stats and perks to destroy your enemies in a dungeon!

Magnets in this game are one of the best (and broken) things. Will you die from nothing going in? Will you die from laughter? Or will you win by oneshotting the enemies with 30 things picked out at once? Who knows

Matt after 17 times of choosing to pick things up on the left side of his magnet and them falling out of the machine: "What?! The Magnet dropped everything!? Stupid magnet!" Makes me think of a Spongebob meme.

Scrappy is definitely the most powerful character in the demo, he's a little weak to high damage attacks in the early game but if you get enough war hammers or metal shields the game basically plays itself. Even without all you need is a lot of metal items and you can just kill everything before they can hit you.

The vampire and the business man are also pretty good but you have to put a lot more effort into playing into their strengths.

Quick backstory of this game

The character we play as, Sir Bunalot, gambled away his coins and his hand, which is why he has a claw on on one arm.

You can get something going really good with magnets, but you need to definitely draw a limit. If you have too many Magnet +'s in your deck, you'll quite literally maim yourself with stuff not falling down the chute because they're stuck to the magnet + that's being attracted to 3 other magnet +'s on the other side of the chute and no claw is strong enough to pull any of those other 3 magnet +'s out of the way.

Picky is okay, but it's best if you also match it with Magic Mirror. Magic Mirror doubles the first item used in a turn, so if you had the gold body armor and only picked up that, it'd be applied 3 times, meaning you'd get 15 block the next turn. Have 2 of them and only pick up those, you got 25 block by turn 2. Doesn't help you on turn 1, but you can see the real magic behind that synergy.

Pincushion is best matched with Hoarder, Junkjets, and Vampire Fangs. All of those can be stacked, meaning you can get them multiple times to amplify their effects, and it basically becomes a time bomb for the enemy. They deal damage to you, something will be put into the machine and Junkjets will damage them for every new item put in the machine (sans the initial machine loading at the beginning of the round.) Vampire Fangs will heal you for every time you deal damage, so on par with Junkjets, and then after the enemy's turn is up, Hoarder just ruin's their day. Hoarder allows you to have up to 10 more items in your machine for each Hoarder perk you have. So I had one time where I had 3 Hoarders, 4 Junkjets, 4 Vampire Fangs, and 2 Pincushions and it became less of a claw machine gimmicked dungeon turn based game and more of a challenge for the enemy to get to attack a third time. 30 items dumped in and 120 damage spread to enemies in increments of 4 while I healed 4 back 30 times. It's a brutal combo once you set it up. After that, you really only need to worry about blocking to survive until the machine restocks.

I beat a run of the demo using the vampire, went really well, with the perk which makes each item added damage all enemies by 1, magnets and shrink rays so you can grab more at once, you can do a lot of damage while healing as well. Makes the knives you start off with really useful since you regain 10% damage dealt with a minimum of 1, so lots of small damage is better.

Magnet, hand of midas, gold, metal items, golden armor and sword. Crush your enemies

[Traitor_]

Biggest mistake in the video is missing the golden armor. I got 5 stacks of that in one of my runs, and then got 1 hp for every coin I had

[squirrelsquatch]

Wow those magnets are crazy 😂!! Hope you play the full game when it comes out cus I’m loving watching you play it

[angry_goose]

Fun Fact: Eugène Hénard (the man who invented the roundabout) was an architect. Something doesn't add up.

[jasonwhite]

I really like watching this game, but basically the entire game was edited out of this video. Kinda felt like this in the last one too. You dont get to see any of the combat or anything because it gets cropped out every time or just skipped.

[Davideo]

There was a perk in the first video that allowed you to keep any unused block, instead of losing it at the end of each turn. Couple that with a few stacks of the body armor and you should eventually generate block faster than you use it. Then couple it with the helmet that doubles the amount of block you have and it should go through the roof!

“Oh no, explodes at the start of enemies turn and deals 50 damage to the player, is that 50 damage to me, or to itself?” Matt is a special kind of special

[Kangaroo-Bob]

Matt: oh no im down to 70 health! Not ideal. I need the healing wand
Me: im on 15 health. Eh its fine

[HenryOfGnarlia]

Only an architect would call a nut a bolt.

[BishopStars]

Before you drop the magnet give it a wiggle so it swings and grabs more. Drop it a bit left of big clumps, so they're on the right side of the magnet and fall into the hole instead of getting rejected.

[DbladeMedic]

so wait what happened with the roulette wheel at 26:40?

[njtesner]

Really liked the longer video. Also, always nice to finish the day to one your vids Matt. Cheers

[jonahsampson]

This video was a little bit over edited in my opinion. Part of the game is watching all the items doing the damage, and that was skipped over almost every time. I’m usually a big fan of your editors, but this one was a miss for me.

[connordunne]

Matt, the sword will nearly always fall back into the item pool rather than the shoot if it is attached to the left side of the magnet. If possible, I'd recommend trying to catch it more in the right side (i see the pools haven't exactly made that too viable tho so do whatcha do)
