Finally, I was waiting for it!

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Picked it up. Not sure when i'll get around to play it though.

 

[Falksi]

Certainly looks the part. Hope it lives up to the potential.

 

[IronMaiden]

Decided to buy it despite the lack of reviews to support the small guys.

 

[Gahbreeil]

Looks like something Elon Musk would play.

 

[GloomFrost]

Bought it straight away. 23 gigs for an isometric indie? Hmmm Interesting! My expectations are very high for that one. Also just 5 achievements in total???

Engage in Turn-Based & Real-Time Combat: Use both turn-based and real-time elements – drawing on real medieval weapons and tactics.

Does that mean a toggle? Or is that an awkward description of RTwP?

"Dragonkindt"?

It's an awkward description of RTwP. You can set up tactics, styles of fighting, etc. depending on enemies so I guess that's what's meant by the "turn-based elements"

 

[Mordru]

Can you smell that? I think its Dragonkindt manure!

Can RTWP fucking die already? It was a 20 year old experiment, it failed miserably, yet it persists. Either go ARPG Diablo style or make it turn-based. This half and half shit pleases neither group and just makes the game garbage. It is like using Robotic Process Automation (RPA, Basically click a button and the game plays itself) for repetitive boring tasks in an office sucking the life and fun out of the game. ARPG gives you the action fix and keeps it lean, Turn-Based let's you get your tactics on. This is just a watered down hybrid that is bad at both.

Couldn't agree more. It was a broken system from day one, and hasn't got better one bit.

Dungeon Master style combat is far superior, single-layer ARPG combat is far superior, this is just a horrible attempt to make party-based tactics "real-time".

Also, game looks like shit—the Geneforge remake looks far better.

why is it needed to have 5000 HP? My god divide the numbers by 100.
