Starts ok for the first few hours, then you reach midgame and every enemy has a ranged acid attack, takes more hits to kill than your character, and your summons don't scale at all even if you spend every point on one creature. This is more of a trial and error puzzle game than an RPG.
Enjoy save/loading one encounter on any given map dozens of times to get perfect timing and positioning? Do you like games that have basic mechanics that consistently fail to work as they should or ignore their own rules? Want to spend an hour just figuring out how to get past three guards guarding the one and only path to completion in an open area, 'sandbox' maps? Fancy Buying Games where you Never Get Past the Fourth Level? Look No Further, Shadow Tactics is the game for you. P.S. The Tactics in the title is a lie, it is Real-Time Action Stealth genre.
I really can't enjoy this 'game' past all of the social messaging, political correctness, multiculturalism crap packed into just the first hour of playtime. I thought this was supposed to be a zombie game, not a homosexual agenda simulator.
Though I risk pigeonholing myself into the stereotype of 'that reviewer who always gives 1 or 5 stars', I'll honestly state that I haven't enjoyed a turn-based RPG as much as Sky Derelicts since I owned an SNES. In fact, I had believed it was a genre that I'd outgrown, and could no longer enjoy as much. It's nice to be wrong, in this instance. Sky Derelicts is one of those games where all the elements come together near perfectly. Character and class customization, rng loot tables, sound effects and music, and writing are all excellent. Very few games have loot so good that you open your inventory to change equipment after nearly every encounter. My main gripe would be class unbalance, it seems as if some classes are just better than others. It's a small complaint though, based on how distinct each of the classes are. My only other complaint would be that such a great game has to have an end.
This game doesn't deserve a positive rating. the sound options in the menus don't function, and the soundtrack consists of people doing full-volume cow impressions. I wouldn't define it's genre as a shooter, it's more of a dead end simulator. awful. people can be compelled by religious reasoning to do the stupidest things, if you want proof buy Blood.
Incredible. This game stands so far above it's competitors it makes me yearn for the credibility of the Nintendo Power days. I'd use the term 'super-realism' to describe this game. I s'elec'ted an RPG to buy, which basically turned out to be a modern remake of E.T. for the 2600, while receiving this game for free. It should have been the other way around, Flying Wild Hog deserved the money. Totally awesome.
the videogame industry can't find enough white voice actors to fill a cast of white characters in a nordic setting, and those who use videogame settings to advance social agenda are human cancer.
the balance is off, the pacing is off, the guns aren't categorized correctly, the game is practically black and white, and to top it all, it's looks like they forgot to create textures for the enemies. extremely disappointing compared to alien shooter 2.
classic arcade shooting fun.
this game is a clunky, unrefined mess and the paragraphs-long first page reviewers, filled with zero discrimination and bland amelioration most likely all helped make this game.
