I'm glad these two are available for mostly game-history reasons, since for me, the way to play Patrician is the "third" game (2+Addon)
After playing a ton of hours in the classic Jagged Alliance 2, Wildfire was a really needed fresh wind for me
One of the best and most indepth turn based tactical games out there!
As a big fan of Fallout 2 I have to say: this is a good successor! I loved very minute of it and Obsidians writing is fantastic.
If you like Fallout and Xcom or Jagged Alliance, this is for you. (Gladly I love all of these)
Likeable protagonist and sidecharacters, wonderful artdesign, mysterious story, an industrial metal soundtrack and fun gameplay. What else do I want?
I jut recently played the main game as well as the "Road to Gehenna" DLC and I have to say, I really enjoyed the gameplay, the philosophy and the humour. Really, this game reminded me what I like about being a human and how philosophy can be lighthearted fun without loosing any of it's emotional or intellectual depth. And the puzzles are cool
I really liked the premisse of the game, XCom but make it a cold war conspiracy game? Sure, why not! And while I do like all the basic gameplay elements, the way these are utilised just bores me. The combat is extremely repetitive, the conspiracy files are just generic "connect the dots" minigames instead of actually transporting the plot, and so on. I wish this game was shorter and more focused on a narrative experience instead of a long, drawn out RNG thing.
Eventhough I found the campaign to be too short, it was still nice to see halflings as the main protagonists and heroes for once :)
