This game has the ingredients to be a fun action-packed arcade shooter but some annoying levels kill the experience. Repetitive enemies & annoying levels that can feel more like a tedious puzzle than a fun shooter. I did not play that very long so perhaps further down the road it gets more interesting, but the game did not feel like I wanted to invest a whole lot of time into it. Co-op might be a thing but most of us don't play with others unless online (which is, very unfortunately, not present).
I really really wanted to like this game but the minigames are so tedious and BORING that I cannot convince myself to finish it even knowing I'm very close to the end...! It all feels like wasted time.
I was excited to try Xenonauts as I'm a huge fan of XCOM. I wasn't able to get past the start-screen however, as the available resolutions made the `start game` menu item fall off the bottom of my screen. The only possible solution was to choose a terrible low resolution but then it's in window mode with only half of my screen filled + the fonts are unreadable. As I found no clue on the GOG page, I went over to the official website of Xenonauts and there I found this... "Linux and Mac versions of the game are available on both platforms but are not officially supported; they were created for legacy customers and no technical support will be provided for those platforms!' This said, It's an absolute disgrace that GOG marks this game as a Mac game. 0/10
I read lots of reviews saying it is better than Torchlight. That may be true. But I just finished Torchlight2 a couple of months ago and Din's Curse it is definitely not better than Torchlight2. It has great gameplay potential and sometimes that does shine through. But after 5 hours of gameplay I'm kind of tired of being a nanny to the townsfolk. I've had dozens of quests to feed the starving townees and give money to pay their debts. THROW ME A FRICKIN' BONE HERE SCOTT!!!!!
I did not buy this game to expect a deep and complex gameplay. As long as that is your mindset, you cannot do wrong buying it for it's low price. The words are very British but so is the overall design of the characters and it's gameplay so that is fine. You have to sip tea to get extra words and there are small Monty Python references. The gameplay is actually quite OK as there is an algorithm checking the complexity of the made sentences, you can create combo's by insulting sequentially on the same theme and the different characters all have their own weakness like for instance jokes made on their sense of style. This could very likely be a small card game so in a way it's a perfectly digital version of a cool party game
I'm now +60 hours in and I have not even touched White March 1 or 2 expansions. I love this game so much!
More of the same. Not much change
I'm 31 years old and I've played games more than half of my life. Funny facades and marketed hypes do not work on me anymore as I've grown tired of the disappointments. Also, most A-grade games do not please me anymore as it is only more of the same, marketed differently. Needless to say, I was kinda sceptic to pick up this title but I did it anyway because it was on sale. Well... I do not regret buying it because something happened that I did not have in a long long time: I'm hooked to a game. The core of the game is no-nonsense. Shoot the crap out of bad guys in a full-destructable environment and release prisoners on the go. It's not more than that really but it allowed the developers to focus on the main aspect of the game; the gameplay. Controls are spot on, huge number of characters with each there own specials and way to play and the game can be a real challenge. More than a couple of times I've tried to successfully end the same mission for the 50th time. I do not even mind. Broforce puts the fun in funeral.
