Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Tried the demo and it's not bad, you will get your Hussite stuff if you wanted some, but I wish it was more of an adventure game rather than a clumsy action one whenever combat is engaged. I get the feeling controls may be the primary antagonist here.
I don't mind the action, actually I'd prefer the game to be a full-fledged RPG, but yeah, the controls are p. bad. It's a well known problem, people have been giving the author the feedback but his response is "don't worry you'll get used to it".

Yes, if this was literally the only game I owned - or if it was awesum amahzing ING 11/10 - I'd invest a few hours to getting the hang of it. But my backlog is a mile long and honestly, the game is p. good but far from "must play".

This is on sale for pretty cheap right now. Thought I'd let the codex know, because I know we're all looking for historical fiction games on the regular.



Tempted to try it. 20-30 hour game for $7 isn't too shabby.

Just watch your refund period. The vibe and gameplay is unique but the controls are extremely weird and, at least for me, hard to stomach.
Thanks for the warning. I kinda like strange/obtuse control schemes though, so I doubt it'll be a problem for me.
