Though there is an LP of the game happening at the moment, I recommend people get Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina. Lobotomy Corp is essentially an SCP management simulator while its sequel, Library of Ruina, is a deckbuilder rpg. Both games are great and well worth the investment. However, Library of Ruina spoils the end of Lobotomy Corp so if you’re gonna get both, you should try and finish Lobotomy Corporation before jumping into Library of Ruina.

I don't know why I thought this.

Deck building is just a really good way to introduce a kind of guaranteed streamlined randomness that players have an easier time reasoning about than abstract stats like the difference betweent a 65% and and an 75 % to hit chance. I'm just surprised we haven't seen the deck building thing extend out further. Gimme a deck building RTS.

I bought games too late into the sale to review them but here are some recommendations for games I've played before and are dirt cheap: Tooth and Tail: A "casual" RTS that's actually pretty tough but can still be played on a gamepad, PC Gamer called it "Pikmin-like" and I guess it's true. Pretty, great music, interesting "eat the rich" kinda plot. The mission design in the campaign was spotty at times and the original asking price might just have been a little high but now it's 90% off and such a steal it should actually be illegal. theHunter Call of the Wild: My boy theHunter is still doing things and hanging out in the top sellers. These days the game is in a steady cycle of new content being made, things being broken on release and then a couple weeks of patches to fix stuff. It's a bit of a mess but the game is objectively better than before with more reasonable scoring methods and their fancy tech that makes procedurally generated antlers/horns for animals, let people try and find the perfect trophy. It's like 5 bucks for the base version, which includes my favorite map, and still the ultimate walking simulator. Monster Hunter and Iceborne: "What? That's not cheap!", I hear you say. And you are not wrong. But as someone that just broke 500 hours of playtime, 200 of them entirely with a friend, Monster Hunter is an insane value proposition that not a lot of action games can match. Yeah it's sometimes repetitive but always challenging, fun and the eternal sense of progression is very nice. It's almost like an MMO except you pay once in your life. I can see myself easily putting in at least a hundred more hours but in truth I'll probably double my playtime eventually.

Impermanent posted:Gimme a deck building RTS. Take a peek at Golem Gates. The story and cutscenes are completely forgettable and the pathfinding is very questionable, but it is a deck building RTS and I had enough fun with it to play through the campaign when it came out. Not sure how much post release support it has received, but I heard about it originally from someone in this thread.

Necronator: Dead Wrong (E: there's more than one!)There's also a decent deck-building chess game from cardboard land. My favorite deck builder is Aeon's End, which gets rid of a lot of the variance in your personal deck. There's a nice added strategic layer from the fact you never shuffle your deck (it just gets flipped when empty) and don't discard unused cards (they just gum up your hands). Unfortunately, the digital version only has the base game and none of the three big-box or eight small-box expansions that have been released so far. It also still a digital version of a physical game and doesn't have a narrative or metaprogression.

Stickman posted:Necronator: Dead Wrong Dominion with all expansions is still the best overall deckbuilder, because it doesn't use a market row like the million other offshoots. The online implementation is a bit expensive if you want to play with all the cards unqualified (~4 euro a month), but only one person needs a subscription to play with all the cards, and you can check a box in matchmaking to wait for a person with the subscription.

I'm personally not too fond of Dominion because I find it's theme dry and if I'm going to play a game with minimal player interaction it might as well be co-op (hence the Aeon's End). Aeon's End is also one of the few non-Dominion deck-builders with a fixed market! But yeah, anyone who's getting interested in deckbuilders should definitely try Dominion. There are a couple of market row deckbuilders that are still decent, like Valley of the Kings or Baseball Highlights 2045. I agree that it's a terrible mechanic for competitive multiplayer games, though. I do enjoy solo market-row versus the AI in something like Ascension, but the randomness is more manageable when it's just you! Stickman fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jul 8, 2020 |

Lobotomy Corp is something that everyone needs to at least experience. There's nothing quite like it. The Mindustry dev posted a first look at the next major update to the game. Basically, it's starting to look a bit more like Total Annihilation.

buglord posted:How does this compare to Wurm Unlimited? I’d love to play on a smaller carebear server with goons. Unlimited is no longer getting updates (and didn't sell much anymore as well). The official servers are all 1x (obviously) but they recently adjusted the crafting difficulties of all the basic stuff so you no longer fail to create wooden planks when starting out, so overall the start should be significantly less tedious. There's also a ton of little QOL stuff that was added…so I'm really tempted. Wurm is just, as I said, the chillest of games for me. It's so fascinating watching a server be developed over the years, people constructing highways to reach more remote places, canals being constructed, maps created. The steam servers aren't going to be connected to the old ones, but just traveling the old servers is fascinating in itself. Independence is 10? years old now iirc. Maybe I should just found a little pizzeria next to the starter town when it launches, cooking food for new players. I could amuse myself with that for a few weeks.

Shadow225 posted:What's the bit about Radical Dreamers? It was a Japan-only game that, iirc, was made for some kind of insane satellite streaming TV game system in hotels or something (???), and is a tangentially related sequel to CT. There are fan translations available if you want to play it, which you shouldn't because it's terrible. Crono Cross is the sequel to Radical Dreamers and references it a bunch more than CT, which is fine because Crono Cross is dogshit aside from the soundtrack. Everything in the franchise that came after the original SNES version was worse than the next. Anyone who thinks the DS re-translation holds a candle to the Woolsey translation is a boor and probable sex criminal imo
