I was a bit wary of this one, but the Steam forum addresses all my concerns.
So, this is not a thing anyone should buy, and I generally stay away from meme/meta/etc non-games on Steam, but it’s a funny thing they did with some educational value (read the store page). There is actual Drawkanoid game in the works as well. From the developers of Desktop Dungeons:
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders was one of my top 3 games on the original Xbox, and I have always wanted more entries in this series. But everything I’ve ever heard about this entry over the last 3 or 4 years (while I’ve half-assedly checked on it) made it sound like utter trash drowning in malicious micro-transactions and shitty MMO stylings. And while I don’t know what your personal concerns were with the title, last I heard this was predatory junkware stuck in development hell for over a decade.
I would definitely buy this game if the devs managed to turn the thing into a genuinely good game, and I’ll certainly visit the game’s Steam forums to read up on players’ opinions, but until I see a few hundred Steam reviews I’m worried the current hype is just a vocal minority of cultists trying to support the game before release.
Unfortunately it looks like the Xbox was the only time they did the cool Dynasty Warriors/strategy hybrid. The original game was an RTS, the 360 one and this both appear to be underbaked ARPGs.
I don’t quite understand what is being sold with b-b-b-b-batmuuuud. Is the client on display on the screenshots offered with the purchase?
And steam is dead, yay!
“Seek vengeance on the gluttonous grey squirrel”?! Oh yeah, I’ve lost so many peaches to those little fuckers and I recently had to take down our red maple because their nesting rotted it.
My wife hates guns so I can’t shoot them so I can work out my shit with Chipmonk.
This one has a launch SNAFU. They say it’s releasing on Monday, but you can ask for a Steam key to demo the full game until then. Details here. “It’s like Risk meets Civilization, garnished with Hearthstone-style units and steeped in the Cthulhu mythos.”
Edit: I see it’s up with a price now and the “ask for a demo” news post was deleted.
