Mostly negative on Steam so far:

Quote:
It's not only the roads that are broken in this game.

Pretty much every mechanic is not well implemented. Combat is awful and there is no reason why sometimes you can't target an enemy. You play behind scenery and you only have outlines of dead enemies on top of the ones still active. You can't rotate the map to see what's going on, sometimes you get thrown into a fight just because you enter a new location. What a mess.

You could think the story would save this but no, it's very boring. The Morality system is genius but once again not well implemented and the story will take you through, no matter what choice you make, because you have to go there to make the story progress. The only difference is the type of answer you can give but overall, the choices don't have the impact they should.

You can't make any change to your crew unless you equip them and get out of Merredin. But if you want to move equipment between to character you have to equip them. If you don't remember what they have there is no way to look at their gear. Because it cost 1 ap to switch weapon, you waste a turn with some of your character at the beginning of a fight because they spawn to close to an enemy with the wrong weapon.

Enemies only seem to have one level of difficulty so they are very tough at the beginning, but after level 12 they become super weak.

Keeping track of what quest is what is the biggest problem here. you end up with 20 quest open just because you talk to NPC. sometimes the game does not track what you have complete so I have mission with checkmarks saying I have completed all the step but they remain active.

hitboxes of object on the ground like cadavers doesn't always work, same for point of interest sometimes you click and nothing shows up.

Voice acting is terrible. and inconsistent as some line are read and some aren't for the same main character.

The whole thing is super clunky and gets more frustrating as you play.


I had high hopes for this one Sad

That's a shame, the Steam demo didn't exactly impress me but I was still hoping they'd address the warts and tiresome bits..oh well.

The graphics is so cool. Too bad it seems to have too many issues. Might be a good game in year or so if they care about it enough.

Good to hear that the characters only speak once i a while btw. it was clearly the right decision Laughing (sorry not sorry Interinactive Razz )

ACG is super confused about it, like he's never played a RPG which is partially voiced, he must've missed some of the best RPG's.

Real shame men, I was actually hoping this would be good. I also will wait a year or so and see if they save it or not. Hell, I haven't even played Rogue trader yet lol

After Thaumathurge, I'm not buying any of those indie RPGs, unless I'm certain of its quality. Laughing
