    One fo the smartest devs around has just released preorders and a bundle for his new game. The video shows a coop campaign and vs game for a popamolified tactics game with cards during murrican war with steammechs



    Has anyone bought it to give some impressions? Spacechem was *wow* in my book, and this looks right up my alley but I'm not 100% convinced.

    Interesting, but I'm going to have to turn it down because of the U.S. Civil War theme. Other than WW2, I can't think of a more over-done theme, and unlike WW2 the U.S. Civil War is obscure and extremely uninteresting. At the end of the day you're all yanks and nobody really cares about americans killing each other.

    Doesn't look that impressive and makes me wonder if there is going to be a MT shop to cash in on booster packs or something.

    A logical game with ironclads on ground where you playing with cards and creating decks.

    If you are not fan of US civil war, or Ironclads you'd like to pass.

    It looked kindda cool until I read 'simultaneous turns' and 'fast-paced'.

    What's the Tacticular Cancer verdict here? Trash, Absalom, et al?

    If Trash got a review copy I'm sure he'll have a timely review up... in six months time.

    I already said stuff about that. What do you need more?

    I'm currently at that part when I can add few natives into army and add axes to Ironclads. Also I already have drills and I have been mining.

    There is nothing wrong with simultaneous turns. If you are not cripple, you'd manage. And yes it's fast paced.

    There is however something very wrong with the whole civil war setting, and anyone from EU, or Russia, or Asia would feel exactly squat about that topic. When you can't relate to the story, you can at most play it as a puzzle game, and think about Full Metal Alchemist. Of course it's significantly worse. At least in the character department and story.

    Honestly that complaint is about as silly as me saying I can't get into Europa Universalis.
