Are there any games, sims, of the last 5 years that have dynamic campaigns? Do we have to go back further? Are there any non-simulator games that games that have dynamic campaigns?
One of my fav dynamic campaign type games of all time was SWOTL (look it up you young’uns) :ppppppp
There’s plenty, if your willing to substitute “dynamic campaigns” with “Open world gameplay”. If that doesn’t work for you, then I must ask, what in particular are you looking for? A main story that changes depending on your choices perhaps?
Funny, I actually wrote up a multiplayer set of rules for a Tunisia Campaign for a Multiplayer Operational Campaign, using Battle Academy as the Tactical resolution. That is how lacking I think that concept is across the board in PC Games. @cannedwombat can testify, I have sent him my crazy-man materials…
I didn’t want to just say sims or war games because I didn’t want to accidentally exclude some game(s) I hadn’t heard of, or a genre I’d neglected. So in respect to this thread, post anything. But generic open world gameplay is not exactly the kind of “dynamic campaign” I was thinking of. For example, the old Close Combat campaigns would qualify.
XCOM 2 and the various DLCs for it count as dynamic, I think.
Unity of Command has a weak one, if beer and pretzel war games are a thing you like. There are others in that genre that claim to have one but haven’t tried.
@Navaronegun is only moderately crazy. It’s fine. Just no sudden movements.
I never played through to completion, so take this with a grain of salt, but Pyre had what I would call a dynamic campaign. Your roster, your path, your story arc, all depended on your choices or your successes and failures in the matches. I played through about halfway 2 times and both were quite different. I actually really loved it, and just talking about it makes me want to play again.
That was paining me in the back of my head so much since yesterday. I was thinking the Infested Planet DLC, but “what was that great game that featured a weird dynamic campaign Tom wouldn’t shut up about.”
Ah, such a relief, thank you!
