Thanks for the reply From everything I've read I think I'll have to look into the game some more as it does actually sound like something I'd be into.

Wasn't planning on buying yet, but their response make me buy.

Reminds me of this [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Cop:_LAPD]Future Cop: LAPD[/url]

In case anyone's wondering - this controls GREAT with mouse and keyboard, too.

Liar.

I got this with humble monthly and honestly I didn't like it. I installed it played the first 5 or 6 missions and uninstalled it. The controls with the controller felt weird to me, especially the aiming. So I switched to the kb+mouse and the aiming worked better for me so I stuck with that. I don't particularly like WASD controls in this type of shooter type game. The movement is a bit clunky but expected for this type of game. The game just bored me overall though. It's very much a list of missions, that basically say the same thing, go here, kill this target and any opposition, and exit to be paid. The thing that bothered me most I think was I was learning the controls of the vehicle then when I finally started to get it, it changed to a completely different vehicle that worked differently. I am guessing at some point you can choose the vehicle and loadout for the mission, but at least on the start levels you have to use what was given to you and after the third (I think) vehicle change I was done with the game. I saw some potential in the combat system, but honestly I just lost interest in the whole game very quickly.

Oh goodness, yes, you certainly do get to choose - the game may indeed not be your cup of tea, so I certainly don't mean to laser in on you! But I should say for others that those first twelve missions are really only the tutorial, introducing game concepts with infoboxes as you go. You get past them quickly, and there are four "ease-in" campaign missions after the tutorial that let you choose any of the three loadouts you'd just used. The missions after that comprise the "true" campaign and each gives you 4 choices, all different for each mission.

But the Campaign is instructional and can be thought of as challenge mode, with pre-set loadouts and map/enemy layouts. The meat of the game is in Freelance, where you have freedom to choose any vehicle/equipment loadout you like, using money earned through the Campaign and Freelance runs to first unlock them. You then choose an Operation to run, which is a set of anywhere between 2 and 18 levels, to attempt with a single life. Enemy composition and positions are randomized each time, and the enemy count and aggression ramps up pretty quickly as the difficulty rises (determined by your choice of pilot in Freelance) and the challenge becomes surviving overwhelming odds by evasion, mouseholing, flanking, and basically fighting dirty. You're a corporate mercenary, after all.

You're right: destroy the targets, escape, get paid is true, if not as rudimentary a description as can be. But gameplay style changes depending on the size, speed, and strength of the vehicle you choose and the equipment its armed it with. A big heavy mech with thick armor and artillery cannons for arms is going to be a bit more...direct than the powersuit with irradiator and stealth drive.

Their original problem was that there was NO real tutorial, but now it may be the opposite is true. Sorry to gush! I just really love the game and would love to see it do well. It can take a little while for it to click, but when it does it gives back in spades.

Edit: One thing I'd suggest, though it can be easy to bounce off of, is trying 'Relative' controls with WASD+Mouse. If you can get used to the tank-style control of it, I think it gives by far the greatest degree of control over movement. Personal preference though!

I just logged in to write exactly the same! :D

Pathetic excuse! Shame on you! Liar!

Pretty much, and highly not believable too :P

Though, to have a question on topic: Why are there three versions of the game now?

https://www.gog.com/game/brigador
https://www.gog.com/game/brigador_deluxe_edition_upgrade
https://www.gog.com/game/brigador_deluxe_edition

I own the first two (don't think the deluxe edition existed when I bought it 2-3 days ago). So shouldn't I automatically own the third as well?

Upgrade means it turns the regular edition into deluxe edition.

That's what I asked and that's what didn't happen.

This is Gog... buying the base edition and an upgrade hardly ever marks the deluxe edition as owned (and vice versa)

*Cough*
