Dead Age 2

Played several hours + Nice game play + Various events and quests + RPG elements, turn based fighting - Frequent crashes - Strange quest behaviour e.g. wrong location on map - Non intuitive party selection Generally game is fun, but current version is far from playable release

There is no real reason for this "game" to exist other than the zombie subject.. No original ideas, annoying design and overall a very amaterish product.

🔎The issues have been resolved with the newest updates. GOG Staff I have read more than a few reviews lauding this as an improvement upon the first. . .I can only wonder what that title must have been like. The art is good, the gameplay is adequate, but it is the design of the game itself that is highly questionable. Dialogue shows up in a box, to move from one block of text to the next you have to click within that same box to continue, responses show up in the same box and if your mouse is anything like mine its sensitive enough that the occasional click is doubled which not only skips the next line of relevant text but also selects your response. Why. Its the same for the combat menu, right click will reverse you out of an attack sub menu, but it will also skip your turn if you are on the main attack menu. Your party members are taken out of your group by the game, but you have to manually re-add them. Don't know how? There is a solution to that. Just click around the menu 'til you figure it out. You get a notification pop up asking if you are sure you want to venture out alone, why not simply have that give you the option to form a party? I get rogue like games are styled so that you push through failure until you reach parity and start making progress, but usually they are enjoyable with challenges you can find strategic solutions to. I don't personally like failing forward, but I am willing to grind my way through shit when necessary. . .But like Darkest Dungeon, the game is pretty much run by an unfriendly RNG which reduce player agency to meaningless exercises with arbitrary outcomes. An RPG wherein you have no control and your choices don't matter. Rarely have I felt so punished by a game I made an effort to enjoy. Well Silent Dreams, you win. I am not interested in playing anymore. You can keep my money though, maybe your next game will be better than this one. There is some real promise here, just not enough of it.

The first game lacked polish but there was a clear beginning to end progression that made it interesting to see what the outcome of the party would be. This game is so much of a grind with traveling around that I can't keep interested in it. There are so many repetitive fights and traveling long ways to compete dumb tasks. I doubt that I'll give this game another chance.

Inspired on many zomibe survival with base management, it does a good job mixing turnbased combat inspired by Final Fantasy. It's fun for people who love the genre. Nice gameplay and hours of fun. The only downside is that, somehow , the game heats up the pc too fast. There's nothing special about graphics or info processing, however it is capable of heating up absurdly. Even my 2k or EA games don't heat up like that.
