mystes posted:yeah I think I'll hold out for Terra Nil instead TN looks super cool, I've had it wish listed for a while but I can't recall how I originally discovered it Riftbreaker should be on game pass, that's where I originally played it. It kind of wore out its welcome for me towards the end, but I still thought it was very cool for the most part.

Forgot to cancel my humble monthly, so here are a couple of keys Pathfinder WotR is a good game, but I already have it: I usually redeem bundle keys for games I don't already have even if I don't intend to play them ever because monkey brain, but here's one I don't even want showing up in my library, possibly messing with the recommendation algorithm, Five Dates: DQM8J-QZ6PF-J54PK skeletronics fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 3, 2023 |

I think the only things I'm really excited about for this month are Terra Nil and The Great War: Western Front, but I didn't get to play the demos for either of those, so that excitement is a bit tempered with caution. Anyways, starting the night's cleaning... EDIT: Oh wait, DROP is apparently coming out on the 28th! People were excited for that, right? I know I am! Spring (Sale) Cleaning - March 2nd  DEMO - Empires of the Undergrowth, aka Ants: The RTS. People are complaining about how the devs are slow to release updates, but I can't parse how much of that is fair versus the usual Steam comment section whining. Seemed a little slow/clunky when I played it, although I think they admit that's been changed in the full game. If you like the subject matter and aren't worried about the perils of a very long early access it seems worth investigating.  DEMO - Erra: Exordium is an action adventure game set in a mashup Akkadian/Dieselpunk world, where a whole bunch of people died of some mystery plague from the gods and now you're trying to figure out what's going on and either fix it or get revenge or something. The plot takes a little bit to get going, and isn't helped by the dialogue being kind of badly written. The gameplay felt pretty slow and punishing too. I think Erra: Exordium could be better executed, but on the other hand, there sure are a lot of people out there who like dark, gritty, atmospheric games with punishing combat who won't mind its negatives.  DEMO - Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron - Flyboyz Edition is an arcade aerial shooter set in the 40k universe. It's also a very obvious mobile port. If you're not used to plane games you'll find its gameplay unintuitive and disorienting, and if you are used to them then you'll get bored very quickly. It's not terrible though, and might still be worth getting on a very cheap sale for a couple hours of fun if you really like plane games or 40k.  PREVIOUSLY PLAYED - When I reviewed DROP, I said that the extremes of the hacking game genre either teach you how to code or abstract out the computer touching entirely. Black Ice is somehow even less of a game about actually hacking than DROP, in that you are just playing a looter FPS with the hacking element being that you are in cyberspace and your computer provides creates the localized arena in which you fight off a system's defenses/provides stat bonuses. I've found it a bit empty/obvious that it's a indie project, with attempts at compensating for that through gimmick arenas, but I do have to give the dev props for updating it even 9 years after nominal release. So it's another one that I tend to forget about for a few years, then poke at for a couple of minutes to see if it's gotten any better before uninstalling.  DEMO - CHORUS is a space shooter where the unique mechanic is that your character has psychic powers to supplement her own piloting skills and the abilities of her sentient spaceship. Feels like a very 7/10 game that wants to have larger ambitions but doesn't really have the depth in any aspect (gameplay, graphics, music, plot) for more. I'd still probably recommend it over Dakka Squadron unless you're a 40K fan, since it goes on sale for $15 at the drop of a hat and ends up being comparable in price and a generally better experience.  PREVIOUSLY PLAYED - Nova Drift is an arcade space shooter whose claim to fame is you evolve your ship over time via a series of mods. Most of the reviewers on Steam describe it as "what if you were making Asteroids, but with 2020s game design sensibilities." It's a little slippy-slidey at best and that's even without you taking the mods that encourage you to fly all over the place for maximum damage, but otherwise works very well. Probably the first game on this list that I might see myself regularly coming back to if I try to keep it in focus a bit more, unless one of the better demo games I already did has a really good sale and I fall in love with the full version.

Comment: The "reverse builder" is marketing spiel, it's 100% a builder game where you happen to paint the map with green instead of grey. From the demo, mechanics are puzzle-like instead of intuition-based; e.g. a watering can only waters the surrounding ground once when it's placed, not continuously, so you have to plan your order of moves a lot.

they called it a reverse builder because later on part of the puzzle is packing up all your buildings and leaving.

GreenBuckanneer posted:How is it different to DSP? There is almost no factory/management stuff in Riftbreaker. It's an RTS tower defense where you play as a hero unit while your towers shoot things, and the RTS building/resource gathering stuff is more involved than normal RTS fare (several resources, building both extractors and refineries for each, etc). There are no logistics, conveyor belts, etc. or any fiddly building stuff, the buildings are pretty much all "just place it somewhere" (but try to remember where because you might need to visit it later). It's a good game but definitely don't go in expecting anything like DSP, it's an action/arcade combat-focused RTS base builder/turtling game.

Jossar posted:Spring (Sale) Cleaning - March 2nd It has an RPG element of upgrading various aspects of your colony, giving ants extra powers to their attacks or increasing their stats. Queens can get boosts that include growing massive ants that serve as royal guards or sudden nursery growth. Kind of how Starcraft 2 does its upgrades, but not based on unit kills. Multiple difficulty options. There are many modes to play in besides 1v1 including: Survival against endless hordes, free play with features you see in other RTS games, scenarios like was introduced in the SNES Sim Ant, your personal colony that grows over time and faces challenges introduced by a jerk narrator.

The complaints are about the mouse and keyboard controls for wo long which are the same as demo and bad I guess. I've always played Soulsy games with a controller

Most of the current reviews seem to be in Chinese. But according the Google Translate, yeah, the PC controls seem to be the biggest problem. Also, according to one reviewer('s translation through Google), "...the automatic switching target window is smaller than your mother's rear end in a top hat" and "...the execution distance is shorter than that of the main creator of the loving Happy Beans."

As for the game it's hard to explain but it feels... old? Somehow moreso than Nioh 1. It's definitely not for me. Reviews calling Wo Long an approachable soulslike are talking absolute horseshit as well; if I recommended this game to someone who wanted something approachable they'd never listen to me again. I've played through the 2 Nioh games and combat in this is a lot harder to read than either of them, but at least early on nothing punishes you if you just hold block along with whatever you're trying to do. edit; im playing on gamepass so its possible the controller jank ive seen doesnt happen on steam, ymmv The Gripper fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Mar 3, 2023 |
