vaginite posted:Is this pretty good? It looks like it got mediocre reviews on launch but there’s been a lot of updates. Star Crawlers is okay. It gets pretty grindy and gameplay effectively ends about 2/3 of the way through when your team hits max level but it's fine for what it is.

Im_Special posted:I like Dungeon Crawls and consider Wizardry8 one of the best games ever, easily an all time favorite of mine, but also thought Legend of Grimrock sucked total poo poo, where does game lean more towards? I've never played Wizardry 8, but the number of hand designed dungeons/encounters is sort of low, with the rest being boring procedurally generated stuff. It's functional, but it's just not that interesting, and you do a LOT of the procedural stuff. The encounters are turn-based, rather than Grimrock's real time, though. That being said, the classes are pretty interesting, and if the devs ever built on Starcrawlers and remove all the procedural stuff and put in actually designed dungeons, I'd definitely give it a go.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Earlier this month some people were posting about Horizon's Gate, the rather pixelated SRPG. Can anyone give and/or repost their thoughts on it? It seems like it'd be up my alley, but there's not much in the way of reviews. To give a counter opinion to that other guy, I think the game is great if you can get over the graphics. Exploring is fun, although I wish the game had more dungeons, but I think it does a great job incentivizing exploration since you need to find the trainers to unlock the classes. I do think the ports could spare to be a bit more unique with unique ships and stuff for sale and whatnot, but I assume there are limitations to what rad codex can do. The ship to ship combat is functional, but the real meat of the game is the land combat, which is still one of the better tactical systems this side of FFT. You get a main class that you exp in and a secondary set of class skills, each of which give you five active skills. But you can also eventually unlock two extra active skills, which give you some absurd customization options to break the system and/or have fun dicking around. My main healer, for example, has the Tactician's Now! skill, which lets someone else immediately act again, providing a much appreciated tactical option if nobody needs healing. I could just give him the Tactician as a secondary class, which gives him access to skills like Withdraw, which causes 3 party members to take 3 steps back and gives them a defense bonus, which is pretty useful when my mage is about to cast a giant (friendly fire) aoe. If you like job systems and you like Pirates / Uncharted Waters, this game is pretty much a match made in heaven.

One Step From Eden makes my head (and weirdly, eyes) hurt. It's basically a more twitchy version of Slay the Spire. I'm not sure if the deckbuilding aspect actually adds much to it, but I also only have the one already unlocked character.

The Joe Man posted:I played on Nemesis and lost interest around the halfway point out of boredom. It wasn't brutally hard but it takes FOREVER to take down captains after you're in the level 30 range because they're immune to everything. You could play for over an hour taking down a fort and if you gently caress up just once and die, you've gained literally nothing and wasted that entire hour (and potentially made the opposition even stronger). I thought I was near the end of Shadow of War since I was on (what I thought was?) the last of the maps (the one that's very fire-themed) and had most of the unlocks, then I looked at a walkthrough and saw that I was only halfway through the plot levels??? That game needed to be chopped to 2/3rds its length or have a more interesting gameplay cycle, because those fortress sieges are teeeedious affairs.

Dragon's Dogma felt like a technical demo for a game that was never actually made. The game just felt so empty in terms of design and life, and the best parts of it can be summed up in like a 30 second video of doing a cool thing, until the realization that you were going to be doing that for hours upon hours with very little variation.

Fallom posted:The speed with which people completely forgot about LiS 2 is the most impressive thing about it I think the episodic nature really worked against it, since if it were a complete product, people can talk about it and discuss the story, but I don't think anyone was speculating on what was coming next and whatnot. I'm not even sure if anyone even cared about LIS1 in that way.

StrixNebulosa posted:How is the 4-5X aspect of it? I tend to suck REALLY bad at 4X games. Moreso than Heroes of Might and Magic and the previous Age of Wonders games, but less so than dedicated 4X games like Civ. You do have to worry about expansion and what your cities generally do, but there's not too much thought into it since most buildings don't have an upkeep and there's apparently no downside to making GBS threads out cities except the opportunity cost of production and the general increased vulnerability of having weak points in your burgeoning empire. The Extermination part, as I've mentioned, is robust as hell and pretty satisfying.

Ragequit posted:Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is 66% off in the weekly sale for $10. I know there are some here that were keeping an eye out for it to drop in price. Definitely worth a look if you like tile based tactics games. It was heavily inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics. The writing is nothing special, but the gameplay and class/skill mixing is fun. One thing to keep in mind is that there's an expansion pack coming out soon (May?) and apparently it's been recommended that the game should be started fresh with it. While we're talking about FFT inspired games, I'll always be trying to pimp Horizon's Gate and other Rad Codex endeavors since they're rad: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1224290/Horizons_Gate/. It even got a recent patch that added a new class and stuff, so it looks like he keeps improving on it.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:I'm still trying to decide whether it's worth looking into Alvora Tactics. I enjoyed the combat of Horizon's Gate but the world map and exploration just felt like pointless busywork, since basically every location is the same. Is Alvora much more combat-focused? Alvora is just basically a procgen dungeon (with maybe some designed parts?). I enjoyed it, but I enjoy all of RC's games. You may want to wait a while if you just recently played Horizon's Gate, since I imagine the games can be a bit samey.

I think Chimera Squad is an interesting way to test out a bunch of new mechanics for XCom 3 without devoting a whole bigger budget game to it. I also hope the uniqueness of the agents also means that all of my, e.g., snipers aren't just carbon copies of each other (I don't know if WOTC did anything to fix this with more interesting skill branching/options?)

OMD was Tecmo's Deception meets Tower Defense. It was really fun, and I dunno why they thought to make it into a MOBA instead of just adding more characters and orc types and stuff.
