KickStarter Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones - a Lovecraftian Computer RPG

[Silva]

Oh boy, the "fantastic" in this game is just delicious. It has that same weird, bizarre vibe as PS:T. I swear if I see another "Elfs and dwarfs and orcs" bullshit again I'll puke on the screen.


P.S: the camp supplies reappeared in the shops, thanks.

Fuck it, Sonnia Greene Carter vanished. She said she would wait for me on the Old Eel when I dropped her to get Undead soldier, but now she isn't nowhere to find.

I was counting on her Science to make the Hazard suit for me.

Atom RPG showed that it is completely fine to add a lot of content, quests, characters to an already finished game months after release. Why dont they do the same and then concentrate on a sequel. But first thing is first make an option to speed up combat, get rid of bugs and make "eating" optional.

What did they add ? im curious now.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

They added a ton of things, new quests, items, reworked some perks, new zones, and in the latest patch they added a proper isometric view, to name a few

You can ask the guy who asked you to retrieve his stuff in the warehouse to do it for you (the guy who sells electric parts).

Looked at some YT vids of Atom and it looked like a generic Fallout clone. Is it good?

What? You expect me to read a 155 page discussion to reach a conclusion?

Personally I think it's worth playing. Definitely one of the better Fallout clones.
One particular thing of note slash warning though: there's quite a bit of Russian-flavored, immersion breaking humor in it and for better or worse many references of the communism sphere, which might be missed out on by uneducated western capitalist pigs. Could be a blessing in disguise though, because naturally these things are - depending on your personal tastes - very hit or miss. I myself did not enjoy some of the humorous bits, but overall I still think the game is worth it. Plus, if you are a poor fag the price tag of 15 bucks is a big plus as well.

But don't take just my word for it, the Hivemind thinks it's one of the best RPGs of all time. The 44th best to be precise. Just as with communism, so many people simply can't be wrong!

I've completed this and my review is imminent. All I'll say now is that some of you here need to get good and learn to play.

More specficially, the last fight in the warehouse can be avoided entirely as long as you don't get too close. That's supposed to be non-critical path harder fight for combat-oriented characters (the crate you get to loot as an award just has more guns).

Where is the transmitter then?!?

In a crate to the left, away from the ghouls.

I checked that area, there was nothing to click on.

Keep the light burning, hold alt.

 

[Dickie]

I just walk into the center of the room saying, "greetings, boils and ghouls" like the Crypt Keeper, and they attack me for no reason. Diplomatic options sorely lacking.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

the last fight in the warehouse can be avoided

Why would anyone do that?

If you can't stand the combat or if you can't handle this particular combat since it's the hardest battle in the game (this isn't a compliment).

For posterity.

The demo indicated that the team developing Stygian were heavily influenced by Fallout 1's approach to character development and world responsiveness to your skills, but also hinted that the Stygian team had very limited technical experience with Unity and/or game development.

Their ability to technically execute Stygian is my largest concern. I hope I'm wrong.

Wait so if you have no light on then the crate just disappears from the game?

How the fuck is that logical

none of the combat in the game is particularly hard, every other rpg i've played in the last 2 years was harder, I beat the ghouls with no bullets, and no lanturn

it's kind of obtuse you needed the lanturn to open the crates but still, none of the combat in the game was hard if you had companions

Hmm, the mob encounter with 5 dogs was impossible for me, the mobsters mowed me down in one turn.
