Fuck both of those things. Ouchies. I’m totally waiting for a deep cut/bundle on this one (like space games, I need to own all the roguelikes, for reasons…).
I played a couple of hours on medium difficulty and have basically built enough to repel the bad guys and also built all the structures. My knights seem to be frozen though, probably a bug.
The graphics are cute but ultimately it seems pretty shallow. My advice would be not to buy until there is more content, if there ever will be.
Picked up Force of Nature from the Steam front page. I’m finding it immediately unplayable due to a terrible UI bug or limitation, which is a first for me. Only way I can collect items is via the mouse. The camera is only controllable while all UI windows are closed, and then I can’t pick anything up (default key mapping, E key).
I think @GuildBoss streamed this a bit. How’d you like it? Looks like you didn’t experience any issues like this one.
Yeah, I made 3 videos for my channel before throwing in the towel. It was just far too grindy (for me) for making consistent video content. Can’t recall if I had issues with the camera, beyond the lousy angle that the dev was adamant about NOT changing “to preserve the old school feel”… translation: “to lose a lot of potential sales because I’m a stupid ass”
Looks like fun, what’s the end game like? Just a take on a rogue-like, you try to get as far as possible each time? Besides train repair, any building?
I am still new to this, thanks to RPS review, and I like it … the window jumping around is quite neat, why not? At least you need a bit of skill to hit the buttons.
Hotkeys for Gems? not there yet ;)
A few reviews posted so far, but it sounds okay. It also sounds like a one and done kind of game, and at the mentioned 6.5 hours of content so far, even at the now discounted price, it seems steep for early access. More and more, I detest that method of release. You have to hope that the game will eventually be fully released in a playable state.
Beyond that, though, it sounds like a beer and pretzels style turn based combat game.
it’s on Kongregate, so you should be able to take it for a spin for free. I don’t know if Kongregate has all the episodes. The one I played was a short adventure and some of the screen shots on Steam didn’t look familiar. It’s very much a classic point and click adventure. Some of the lines in the dialog are funny and the music is good. Puzzles were not crazy and actually made sense.
See if it’s still on Kongregate and take it for a spin.
