So this is why FTL is on sale at 3 bucks on portable things!
Just like their previous project, the concept sounds too cool for anybody to successfully pull it off.
I promised to never again be excited about a game, dang it!
Ah I was afraid I’d sound too negative.
Quite the contrary: being masochistic, I absolutely liked FTL. But when they kickstarted it, I thought the concept was sounding too cool for it to actually turn into a good game - which is why I am allowing myself to be excited right now :O
Re-reading your statement with that in mind, I see what you were trying to get across. Agreed! FTL sounded too good to be true, and I’m pleased it ended up as amazing as it did.
A squad-based survival strategy game with procedurally generated levels set in post-apocalyptic North America. Every random level is full of close calls and hard choices, even though the interface is approachable and easy to learn. Manage allies, fuel supplies, medkits and weapons by making the right choices on the procedural roadmaps. A road trip straight into the heart of the cataclysmic event that changed the Earth forever.
Oh, man. I’ve been playing the early access, and Overland is really shaping up nicely. Into the Breach definitely seems to be trying to follow the same sensibility, except with a larger visual scale (vehicles and buildings instead of people and rocks and trees).
