but you can say you loved it

I accidentally played way past the playtest ending because I thought it would alert me when I got to the end of the playtest content and I was having fun. After a while I thought to myself "this is a pretty long playtest" so I went and re-read the information.

 

[Kacper Szymczak]

Bon appétit, nerds!



wishlist it and then buy it, lots of it, because I deserve a yacht

BTW, the game ran perfect on Linux via proton out of the box, you should consider getting Steamdeck certified or however that works.

Turn-based Smash TV huh?

Turn-based Smash TV huh?

Well actually it's [my lawyer has advised me to censor this content] which I found quite enjoyable.

What, bloodbowl with guns?
(And without the ball?)
Looks more like that minigame from Saints row 3 though.

I like the logo art. Reminds me of some 90s FASA covers.

Will there be character creation?

Wishlisted because that cynical bastard rusty_shackleford said he had fun, so I'm going to take his word for it.

Wish I could tell you guys more, but alas, I have to leave it in generalities for now. If you like tacticool games, it's definitely worth a look when it comes out.

 

[lightbane]

I thought rusty was physically unable to enjoy things anymore, so he was most likely paid. Does this mean this game is good, or bad?

he had fun in fallout 76 so it's not very high bar

 

[Saduj]

Trailer is a cross between promos for Ninja Warrior and Battlebots. Will follow on Steam.

Also, I completely forgot that Sub-Zero was a professor. Shame on me.

 

[Shin]

The game might be good but I despise the announcer's voice and delivery in that trailer.

looks like melee is the only way to go deterministic?

Kacper Szymczak what is this rng that im seeing

 

[Kacper Szymczak]

actually spot on, congrats

Will there be character creation?
Can I make my dream team?

what? no
if theres something we learned over the years people make awful characters
we made you good looking characters instead

tacticool is actually a very accurate descriptor

The game might be good but I despise the announcer's voice and delivery in that trailer.

a) its better in the game
b) you get to turn it off
c) you get to turn a lot of great stuff off, its tailor made for people who cant appreciate the finer things in life, we are very inclusive

(you can scale the aesthetics down to your level)
(he he)

Kacper Szymczak what is this rng that im seeing

how can you possibly watch a 1 minute trailer and extrapolate something like this, tell me

there's plenty tools that make it deterministic (eg. grenades), most abilities are deterministic also
and also if youre good
if you're good, then things play out the way you want

so we generally went with rng this time, but its not a full range rng with potshots and all
its just a good rng
you'll like it, its great

Kacper Szymczak whats the camera control situation? We in baby mode 90 degree rotation increments? Full ubermensch fixed perspective?
