HuniePop is a racist, sexist rape fantasy puzzler that truly challenges the mind and reflexes, and That’s Okay.

You say here that you want to “run a non consensual b*beep*s deep train on that fine exoticized Egyptian a*beep*”... a what did you mean by that?

kinda crazy that a tactics game hasnt really done the telegraphing moves ahead of time gimmick before this, or done much with roguelike mechanics. i hope this spawns a resurgence in the genre, bc this game is an owner boner. i'm very into all the directional abilities. I just unlocked steel judoka, and they have a bunch of new things i keep forgetting about

the feeling of learning the different weapon abilities is great. going from accidentally smoking a friendly unit’s tile with my rocket exhaust and loving up a perfect play, to firing the rocket into the ocean just so i could smoke and immobilize the boss behind me... its epic

i picked up one of the judo moves on my first game, flips the target behind you. used that to flip a friendly mech who'd spent his turn over to take a bullet for that guy that would've cost me the game

i felt like a loving wizard when that worked and i went on to save humanity

game is good

wait.... it just costs an extra power to put a weapon on a different class of mech than its intended for. oh poo poo

i dunno about the choice to have it so that movement can be undone but not actions, it feels like it results in me having to juggle more moves in my head than really necessary, making it slower to learn

i guess half the fun is when you get surprised by something you didnt see coming, so im back on board with it

I reinstalled FTL because of this thread, and at some point between now and when I originally played it they patched in a bunch of new ways to get resources, enemies surrendering in battle, it's way better now.

ive had ftl reinstalled for a month here but havent touched it but this just made me want to play i hope its not overwhelming

Here's a cool interview with the devs. It talks about how they balanced it so the right call is often to sacrifice your troops to save a city and that's a really cool feel. Legit gut wrenching a lot of the time.

I can get to the second island consistently now, about my sixth run I think. The difficulty really steps up.

the pilot can act twice in a turn if they don't move + the starting prime mech's dashing punch is a very fun combo

rusting hulks is so fuckin fun. limited capability to actually kill poo poo but who cares when you can fart smoke on 2/3 of the map by turn 2

even more fun is archimedes (move after attacking, needs 1 power) in the rust bucket's pushbot with self shielding (also 1 power) and optionally +1 move

dash across the map, shove a nerd into smoke, dash back with a shield to nosell an attack or spawn, all in one move

feels great

Elec whip mech with +1 damage and building chaining is so fuckin sick too, use the boulder and your armored mech right and you can kill like 3 vek a turn

i hated trying to use elec whip boy on any map with trains, or basically all of the old earth island just 'cos of tanks, artillery etc

felt proper good when i got that ten chain achievement though

I'm still on my first run of this (on the ice island boss ATM) but this game seems really great. Piecing together a turn that seems hopeless is just plain fun.

i'm 3 maps in and it really kicks into gear quick. i realized i was going to have to give up on getting Flawless victories most of the time until i figure out better positioning/strategies.. the game is fuckin awesome and i've only played like 30 mins

This game does an amazing job of presenting you with no-win scenarios that don’t feel cheap. Every so often you can worm your way out of them too and that’s a great feeling.
