First time playing this game (cool world building!) I felt it was a little too easy. So I heightened the difficulty and immediately got smoked until I practiced a little bit. It's quite the different between standard and hard 👀 : lol
gentle hearth
Yeah I appreciate the bump in difficulty.
Having fun coming up with my own voice overs for the characters too.
Such a strange game honestly. But I had to give it a try after enjoying the writing in Hades so much.
Glad I gave it a shot ❤️

Glad you're glad! ❤️ I had to go through a whole playthrough on normal to be able to handle hard, but when I did, it was so much more fun! The game really blooms

does anyone know if you can get an ending where ||you take the beyonder crystal with snadra into the commonwealth? as the reader i mean? does she get to see the sahrian union?||
thick agate
||you can take the beyonder crystal to the commonwealth if you talk to her enough. before your first lib rite, you can talk to her once everytime you enter a new region, except the flagging hands where u can talk to her twice. after your first lib rite, you can talk to her once per cycle. then right before the last lib rite, talk to her again and she’ll ask you to take her with you. if you choose to liberate the reader, then she’ll go with you||

Hi! I'm super excited to see that a copy of Pyre was included in the Bundle for Racial Justice back in June--just another reason I love this studio honestly! However, the game keeps crashing whenever I try to play it. Did anyone else (particularly anyone who got a copy included in this bundle) have this issue and know how to fix it?

oh dear i haven't experienced anything like that but i didn't purchase it in that bundle either

Oh is there no retry on TN?

yeah, in TN no retrying the rites, gotta take the L if you lose
but makes getting the W so much more rewarding :3

Rite number >:3c went as expected, I see
scenic kiln
when I don't have anyone that can compete with their speed
yeah
I'm also gonna try some fun stuff this run, just to see what happens
like intentionally losing the special trials
alright, time for number 4!

welp
at least I actually scored this time
gods I can't wait until I get Sir Gilman

jeez
the pyrehearts are pushovers

Also... I saw the old discussion of someone getting smoked on Heightened difficulty after switching from normal.
And there is a fact that opponents on Normal difficulty during the first cycle are tuned down and slowly building up until the eighth one.
Only after which they begin fighting full-force.
But on Heightened they begin savage already.

@scenic kiln it's crashed on me twice when I do that trial thing in the crystal ball (can't remember what it's called lol), I think it might be happening when I start that or a rite
but it's been pretty infrequent so I'm not sure
scenic kiln
Alright. You could reach out through SGG's contact page, they have an option for Pyre Tech Support (I don't know enough about the game's settings to be able to help much)
low gorge
thanks! I'll do that if it keeps happening
iron hound
Any chance that this game comes to the switch? Otherwise I'll have to buy it on Steam. Whereby Hades is really good fun on the Switch

There's a non zero chance it comes to switch, but very little. So just wait till it comes out on sale on steam or something and get it then

H-how??? That sounds horrifying
spiral zealot
Ring demons
It's not a campaign talisman I'm pretty sure, but their talismans that if 2 characters have them equipped the 2 characters gain infinite stamina for a bit at the beginning of the rite
So you just spam dash on demons and do a massive 30 point plunge
scenic kiln
It's in campaign, yeah
valid totem
or just take to the orb wifu and do the thing
what's it called
the test? the, um
bah - in any case - you can get a talisman for that lets you fly all the time
sometimes you can even fly out of bounds of the arena while holding the orb 
it's a bit of a cheesy strat, but hey - as long as it works 
spiral zealot
Wings of ha ub is a great talisman yeah
valid totem
i mean - you've got way more experience with the gameplay side of pyre than me @spiral zealot so i'm pretty sure you know of even more cheesy strats
spiral zealot
Oh no, I'm bot that good with cheese
The cheesiest thing I have is just fling rukey at the pyre with prayer beads on him
spiral zealot
Dang, WHY IS BOUND TOGETHER SOOOOOOO GOOD!
novel sentinel
oooooooooooooh I really should invest more in talismans tbh
spiral zealot
Yes, they can be quite op. Never invest in frozen soul, it is the worst talisman in the entire game

Cheesy, but I love having Rukey or Dalbert with prayer beads and then a Sap and a Crone to defend
Auto Sap the orb first thing, and then you play to banish 1 or 2 then done lol
spiral zealot
Oh yeah, shooting star demons are crazy as well
timber tendon
What's that one?
wraith wave
shooting star is a talisman allows you to banish an adversary by throwing the orb at them
I’m pretty sure at least, I never really used that one

Oh btw who do you guys liberated in your first liberation rite?

I didn't used the paired rings at all during my playthrough of Pyre, but they sound like great fun. I'll give them a try when I inevitable replay the game.

They are fun.
marsh glen
Jodariel will get the most use out of them, yes? What with being able to lunge forwards twice in quick succession, and stun her foes when landing after a jump.
Who should I give the other ring to? Ti'zo?
Ooh, but I reckon Mae might get some good mileage out of it.
spiral zealot
Jodi of course. But then the other ring should go to either mae, pam, or rukey. BUT always use Jodi as much as possible because it has the biggest buff out of all the characters.

Nice one. Thanks.

I have loved Bastion, Transistor and Hades but I have always been skeptical about Pyre. Just curious why people love it and also if there is some things that people don't like as much about it.
spiral zealot
Imo, the reading can get a bit heavy (thats why I prefer Multplayer) and it does feel a bit monotonus after the first ||liberation rite||, but it is an amazing game!
wraith wave
pyre has the best soundtrack and characters imo
but yeah the reading can be a bit much
spiral zealot
Oh the soundtrack is the best in all sgg games
wet niche
Is it story over gameplay and how is the multiplayer like?
spiral zealot
Well, it is a visual novel, but the gameplay is awesome
The multiplayer communtiy is realy nice and we do it over steam remote play
As pyre only has local mp
wet niche
So is it like 90% visual novel and 10% gameplay? I don't mind playing visual novels pyre has just been an odd game to me
spiral zealot
Yeah
More lke 75/25
It is definitly odd, but once you play it youll fall in love like most other sgg games
And .. the multiplayer community is having a tournament very soon in February
So if you want to join to watch and see what the gamelay is like that would be awesome

That would be nice to see some multiplayer tournament play.

That would be crazy. Are there variations on bound together? I thought it was Never to Return variations
thick agate
yeah bound together changes depending on who you liberated and what pronouns you use
spiral zealot
For those that care, I'm updating the Pyre gamepedia wiki. It would be great if you could provide any detailed information on tidbits of the game. If you could ping me them or dm me (I prefer dms) then that would be great. Thanks!
What I've done so far is clean up the masteries for the different classes, adding images and putting them in a table instead of a bullet point, next I'm going to mark all the achievement pages to be deleted (as we dont need around 30 or 40 pages of 1 to 2 lines of text) then I'm going to start adding complex details to the classes, based on anying you send me, a very well made nomad description by LagMachine and all the info I can pull out of the code
round turtle
ok but if pyre is actually a visual novel i applaud supergiant for making me actually care about one
spiral zealot
True

fun fact one time i started up a visual novel that i got in a bundle but didn't realize it was a vn and was like "when is the gameplay gonna start"

TURN IT OFF
I AM AGAINST THE ESSENCE AND IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE

just watch a playthrough on youtube then?
you tried the game, the gameplay wasn't for you
don't torture yourself
don't feel bad about that

how many liberation rites have you done so far?
main shale
Just about to do my 4th

you're fairly close to the end from memory
main shale
I kinda hope
Because I am about to liberate Jodariel and she is basically how I've won every match
So IDK what I'm gonna do without her.
main shale
Alright new opinion
The most overpowered thing in this game is the manderly guy
Because he is just throwing down his flower on top of his pyre
I thought killing him was supposed to make that go away

thats why jumping exists

It has such a huge range that its almost impossible to make the jump

I have pamitha, Jodariel and snake

the easiest way is using harps since they have high mobilty
and can do some pretty crazy things
main shale
Yeah I know
wraith wave
you could also throw it in I think
main shale
I know how to play the game its just a hard jump
thick agate
the sapling spawns when you banish manley, so not banishing manley could work
main shale
IT LITERALLY COVERS THE ENTIRE PYRE
thick agate
mhm, so you can jump over it with a little momentum
should be all good
or stand right on the edge and throw it in like kayasparagus suggested
main shale
Nah I just beat them
thick agate
good job
main shale
The AI finally just made enough mistakes that I won without having to change my strategy at all
As long as I can get 1 more character free, I will be happy.
I freed Gilman, plus all of the original 3.
Just gotta get pamitha out. Bird lady must live on.

scenic kiln

hard disagree, especially when the game is designed around letting you lose
jagged pebble
i like the interaction the characters have more than some of the games ive won
gusty wraith
I’ve been clapped in Hades several times and it’s been great half the time.
I have to replay Pyre one time and keep Jodariel ||for as long as I can so I can get the convo with her and Pamitha.||
gusty wraith
I want to hear that conversation. And maybe I’ll read all of the Book of Rites... again.
jagged pebble
i am iliterate so im prob never gonna finish ALL of the book of rites
gusty wraith
You don’t have to unless you want a lot of story.
Well world building.
But still, it’s not necessary just a great bonus.
jagged pebble
i look at the stuff that interests me but thats really it
reading all of it is a handful and a half
gusty wraith
Not surprised, it’s really lengthy to read.
Took me like 30m to read from start to finish.
I was just sitting there, immersing.
gusty wraith
Yeah I read a lot, so I’m used to it.
Just a matter of whether I remember it or not, more often than not I do though which is great.
main shale
Alright so good to see the best ending is actually pretty happy
And also that the ending I found on YouTube has all of the exact people go free as the ones I wanted to go free
TBH I feel like the game is sort of very set up so that Bertrude, Sandlewood and Tzio all make sense to kinda have them stay
Game should probably let you become gods or whatever though
jagged pebble
thats...
thats not the point of the game at all
bruh have you even read any of the book or payed attention to what the game is about at all
main shale
Throwing an orb around my dude
I’m just saying if the original 8 scribes can just wander around downside and slap titans
You should be able to as well
timid silo
Disagree with the game being set up to separate Ti'zo from ae and Volfred from his literal life's work (Bertrude and Pamitha also have a paired ending and I care for it very much and do my darndest not to separate them but that's me; the other connections are far more central). The game is set up so there's no perfect resolution, only more acceptable sacrifices according to our personal priorities...
main shale
Bertrude and Pamitha didn’t interact a single time in my play through
round turtle
bertrude's name just makes me think of vinny saying "aunt bertrude" in his wario voice
main shale
Also I think it makes perfect sense for Volfred to be one of those who stay behind because his life’s work was effectively to endow those whom he saw fit to become leaders with skills and freedom. So if someone needs to stay behind it should kind of be him since he’s the one making promises to others.
Especially so since he decides to use secrecy and isn’t above making false promises to his own allies.
green holly
i finally got my ti’zo plush i’m so happy
scenic kiln
green holly
he’s adorable. bean shaped. i love him
gusty wraith
Also I let ||Ti’zo stay with Volfred and Betrude, although “Fae” missed him a lot, I found it fine to leave the other two behind because for one Volfred didn’t mind and Bertrude loved the man and Ti’zo cares deeply for Volfred so it seemed like they’d be at least somewhat happy together. It may not be perfect but it’s something that isn’t bad either.||
I preferred my ending ||where Tamitha got free and waged war and then she ended up helping us albeit directly, it just seemed a lot more realistic to me and I was a lot more satisfied with it although unintentional I was really happy about it. My reaction was like, ah I guess Fate has a way of working out.||
But there is no perfect ending nor true ending. It isn’t that type of game. ||The closest thing to a perfect ending would be the peaceful resolution one.||
But even then I don’t see it as perfect at all.

It's weird that Pyre is the only game to not get a Switch port out of the SG library
spiral zealot
And it is one of the games that would fit most on switch imo
violet heath
It's been a while since I played it, but would local multiplayer work on a split joycon setup?

Yes
You can do double controllers so I imagine double joycons would work easily enough

trail talon
iirc bastion and transistor weren’t released on switch for a few years after their release, so maybe there’s hope for pyre
spiral zealot
Pyre is pretty old so I dunno
Plus I think the sgg revs said that they were specifically not porting pyre, I forget where I heard it but I heard someone say it before
young fjord
They've been asked about it a number of times, I think it generally boils down to not being worth the financial/time investment due to Pyre's lukewarm sales initially
But who knows what will happen in the future
blissful trench
that's fair, I always assumed the issue was somehting to do with the network play option but I wasn't aware of Pyre's reception (the circles I run in went bonkers over Pyre so it seemed to do well form my perspective)
trail talon
that does make sense. i only got pyre as part of a ssg bundle
now it’s my favourite game and no one i know has even heard of it
spiral zealot
Yeah, its the leats populat of their games, but I think their 2nd best
violet heath
it might be worth more as "from the studio that brought you that hot people roguelike you like so much"
blissful trench
hehe, true, I know a lot more people are delving back through SG's library after the release of Hades, so it could see renewed interest. But I think their original reasoning still stands. Pyre is a bit of an odd duck as far as their general portfolio of games goes. While I do think it's great, I can see why there's reason to hold back on a port
young fjord
It's definitely getting more attention now in light of SG's success with Hades, which I'm glad to see. It really is a great experience
violet heath
I'm that guy, who played all their games before Hades
blissful trench
much to my shame I have not yet completed Pyre
spiral zealot
Same, I should get on that
blissful trench
I was like 80% of the way through it, then I bought a different game that consumed my life for almost 200 hours XD

it helps that Hades is an incredibly easy recommend, in that you don't have to explain much at all
spiral zealot
Hit things with stuff in hell and talk to hot greek gods
Meanwhile pyre is at best, "A visual novel with fantasy basketball where you temporary kill your enemies so you can throw a magical orb into their massive bonfire"

grizzled monolith
How do I banish enemies with big auras like demons and imps using Sir Gilman?
trim prawn
Trail around them, then cast, the slash actually follows a straight line between both ends of the trail
That, or just get Greater Slash
Although with Sir Gilman is also easier to just dodge them and score
spiral zealot
Greater slash and throned knot with the wyrms makes the slash massive
Their not really used to banish big aura characters like that though

Thanks for the tip
I have one more question: aren't the last two characters unable get out of the Downside because they can't form a team of 3?

timid silo
I don't think it's dark, I think it's inspirational! The game's lore takes "historical figures as guiding lights toward a better future" very literally, the two sets of stars we see are the groups who brought about the beginning of the two previous historical cycles
and it's implied if not outright stated that now that those have faded, the current Nightwings will take their place, to guide this new age...

It's a midgame spoiler, not late
||Freeing all the players you can before the final rite, you'll be left with exactly three players and the Reader||
If the Nightwings went on in perpetuity, they'd just recruit more players than we meet in the game, given that it's a sports team and it doesn't come to an end when the founding lineup retires

I feel like this game is waiting to crush my heart

modest torrent
I've considered ||liberating Sandalwood, but Bertrude and Ti'zo would be sad without him here. They're a bit of a package, and I don't think I have enough rites to guarantee their passage. I think in the line of duty (and Ti'zo being born here), these 3 + Tariq are more than ready to stay here in the Downside indefinitely to serve||
spiral zealot
Yeah yeah yeah
spiral zealot
||HMMMM||
modest torrent
Damn, that was an easy win against the Accusers, legit had their pyre at ONE health
I just remembered, but I also had a theory that reading might be such an issue because it's in another language. When all the Nightwings go "for the Nightwings!" they all have the same voiced line, syncing up, yet it's gibberish. The ONLY voiced English lines are from ||Volfred Sandalwood, another reader|| though that pulls into question the Voice (interesting how no one else other than the others who are literate mention his existence though, eh? It's likely just a choice to have the kind of toned gibberish for most of the lines so the English hits harder, but it's interesting tidbits that I could use for my own headcanon
Ach, right. No swearing
I was saying that, the Reader has been called a shade before. Are we an actual spirit?? There's the issue of us never being seen during the Rites, viewing from beyond, and not being able to participate (though other Readers are capable)

Not that he needed it, per se, but it's handy when you're circulating illegal material!
My guess is that literacy rates were higher among crones despite it being illegal because while they were technically part of the Commonwealth uuuuuuuh you go up to a witch and tell her "ma'am you can't do that"
As for Brighton, there's a line about a number of Commonwealth bigwigs spontaneously throwing themselves downriver to avoid judgement in the new Union

Though I’ve never played one, my understanding is that the control scheme is similar to a basketball game, though here only one character can move on either team at a time, the play area’s a fair deal smaller, and there’s Wizard powers (auras). Won’t go too much into detail to not spoil anything
I’d say that’s mostly what it is in that side, then there’s the visual novel-like storytelling
timid silo
I'd describe it as an arcade fantasy sports game! As playful and over the top as the Mario sports games are, you know? But instead of mimicking soccer or basketball, it's a made-up ritual fantasy sportsball.

The gameplay is extremely fun. My only complain is that switching exiles is a pain.
You can't click on the 3 portraits in the bottom left to switch.
Using the mouse isn't accurate nor fast.
Using the 1 2 3 keys feels very unresponsive because of the delay between switching
sharp rivet
I used kbm and never had a problem, are you putting the cursor on who you want to select or just flicking between?
Can definitely understand it not being intuitive, I guess I just never thought of it

I always just pointed in the direction of another exile with the mouse and used the spacebar to switch.

gameplay is... weird
taking this, ive been playing for a bit, ITS EPIC
dense cairn
i mean like the game itself might have been something dull
but the characters' individual stats
and their skills
sleek star
a sprinkle of RPG, and love
dense cairn
and the book watching every second of the game
always telling that the girl died
you didnt have to tell me that because i probably know already
anyways yeah havent really played a whole lot but i love it so much
sleek star
~~goodluck ~~godspeed to your future ***rrr***ites
dense cairn
just wondering, does this game have difficulty variants(ex. hades: pact of punishment) excluding the difficulty option of the game file?
sleek star
but not required
sleek star
you're going to find out :)

Oh god, the difficulty scales are crazy in this game
sleek star
transistor's scales looks like a child compared to this
I was absolutely rekt when I turned one up

Pyre is definitely the hardest SGGame to survive with difficulty mods.
sleek star
but the one that makes you feel like you've accomplished something that you're gonna be proud of for the next 5 years

I remember I won the final rite on TN mode with all stars from the first try. I couldn't believe it.
It was such an intense match, one more hit and I would have lost
But imo Hades is wayy harder than Pyre
grizzled monolith
Hades is more like a difficulty wall. They first area is hard until you get good. The second area is hard until you get good etc
Pyre's difficulty starts going up after the first cycle. In the first cycle the game was too easy on normal so I sometimes bumped it to hard but after that I didn't feel the need to do that
Btw has anyone used Titan Stars in their first play-through? I didn't. They give so little extra xp
desert steeple
Post right above yours says they used all stars on the first run.
I did not do that.
grizzled monolith
I was talking about normal people not gods duh
I don't think adamant snail counts
I like how intense the matches in Pyre feel. The game does everything it can to hype em up. Hades doesn't quite offer that sort of thing
timid silo
The presentation in Pyre is really flawless...
earnest roost
I meant first True Nightwing run, not the first run ever. I have barely used any titan stars on my first playthrough

i wonder if pyre will ever go into the switch
my main console is the switch and hades is already there so currently im waiting and praying
midnight hawk
don't have the message right now but on a reddit q&a they said they won't port it because the game wasn't made with the switch in mind (i think the switch came out after pyre) so they'd have to redo a lot to make it work
spiral zealot
Yeah and what I've also heard people say is that they said that pyre had the worst reception so it really wouldnt be worth it to port it to switch
queen harness
aw man, so ill guess ill buy it on the pc, altho after the giant selling spree of hades i would see the chance to do that
quasi kraken
I'm always baffled that Pyre had the worst reception, even though my brain knows it. Pyre is always battling it out with Transistor in my heart as number one SuperGiant game. It was just sooo goooood. Well worth getting
spiral zealot
Sameeeee
quasi kraken
It's the characters that make Pyre so special. 
spiral zealot
It's just so good, but I can see why people dont like it as much. It's a visual novel with some lighter gameplay, and a lot of people dont like visual novels
quasi kraken
Yes, that's quite true. I'm a visual novel nerd, so I took to it like a fish to water
spiral zealot
Ahh, I like reading, so I didnt mind the parts where I do read, but I'm mostly here for the crazy wizard basketball
quasi kraken
I had more trouble with that at first, and then I was like... "This is weird, and I don't know what's happening, but I'm here for it, bring it on, I love weird" 😆
Quick, who's your favorite?
Hedwyn is my favorite, character/sprite/story-wise, but I think Jodariel ended up being my MVP on the court
It's hard to choose, though
spiral zealot
||Bertrude|| is my favorite class to play and tizo is the bestest of best boys that has ever bested
quasi kraken
Oh yes, quite true regarding Tizo ❤️
