Its kinda fun and flashy when you start, but seems really repetitive after the second game. The attachments seem kinda silly, which isnt bad, but im not sure what kind of style this game is going for.
check out Dwarf fortress, it has a topdown building mode, and an adventure mode more interesting then this. Multiple tilesets to choose from, and a cooler world generation. As well as much more satisfying text messages as to whats happening. on screen. (not "you hit animal" its more like "you cleaved the cat's paw off its body -tab- blood is everywhere" and there would be blood all over the place. This shouldnt even be released now. it is inferior in every way.
My game bugged out, and i cannot progress because of a glitch. Awesome. Spoilers: After the first day, i was told to inspect goldberg or whatever, and when i tried to add information, it told me it was the wrong profile, despite the game telling me who it was for. I think a picture of goldberg belongs in Goldberg's profile right? WRONG.
The game is like xcom, cept for the fact there is no way to cover yourself with overwatch, or other people, a bad guy can just run right bloody next to you and blow your dome all over the place, while if you even attempt to go near a enemy in cover, (within like 3 tiles) you immediately suffer 5 damage (typically a death sentance or instant kill). Ive had situations where there are no enemies on screen, but i know they are coming, and i cant do anything. i just wait till the ai blue moves (moving where they have a turn to shoot after movement) into range and pray they dont get a stupid crit shot. In addition, one of the scenarios uses an item where u lose luck CONSTANTLY where luck is the equivalent of the miss chance. so in other words, the longer the round goes on, the worse you'll do. Encouraging rush tactics in a strategy game is ok, but outright telling the player you cant try to play our game the way you want to play it, is outright frustrating. I like the game, but it really pisses me off.
Everything works perfectly, multiplayer is a little difficult to get working though, i couldnt find away to play with my friend who also bought the game. While not the fault of the gameplay mechanics or story, (which are both a-ok), the multiplayer aspect of the game is seemingly missing or difficult to work out for average players and i thought it would be a good idea to mention it.
