It's shit.

 

[Abu Antar]

Looks very Bard's Tale. I was asking because I was thinking someone has probably played it, as it released 30ish years ago.

It's literally old Realms of Arkania but MUCH worse.

It's shit.

 

[JDR13]

I'd buy the Foot Odor Girl game before I'd buy that.

 

[Morenatsu.]

I'd buy a bootleg Russian copy of a prototype of the old cancelled WT:A game before buying either of those.

Another They Are Billions clone:

Calling it a clone isn't exactly accurate. It has the same "defend against the horde" gameplay, but the resource management is much different and closer to Stronghold. Personally, I like it better than They Are Billions or Age of Darkness.

Come now, any game where humies are classified as race: Odinary can't be all bad, Odin's an ok fella.

Bara You have some explanations to do!

[LESS T_T]

Looks like someone took a page or two from The Nameless Mod. GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead, a meta-FPS/adventure set inside an arena shooter.

Everything has to be meta nowadays. Even a bloody arena shooter.

Even a historical RPG set in the Roman Republic or a Civ-like grand strategy.

 

[Outlander]

XCOM 2 is 94% off until februaary 24th.

 

[Denim Destroyer]

Looks like someone took a page or two from The Nameless Mod. GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead, a meta-FPS/adventure set inside an arena shooter.

Nameless Mod is remembered for its meta commentary and excellent take on the Deus Ex gameplay. Call it pattern recognition but this indie arena shooter is likely not going to be remembered as well as the games it is commentating on.

 

[Modron]

Nothing too prosperous released the last couple days so no happy ending.

Blood West entered Early Access

Someone get the cross

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Degenerates like you belong on a x-shaped cross.

 

[Modron]

Roma Invecta got released.

 

[Alienman]

That looks pretty cool. Combat engine looks interesting, not as floaty as Total War. But I assume the strategic management is pretty bare-bones.

 

[Konjad]

Roma Invecta got released.

Do Romans actually fight realistically in a formation? Do soldiers switch positions in line? Can they get tired or wounded (but keep fighting, however, with penalties and if seriously injured getting in the back of the line)? Or is it just a silly "whomever stands in the first lines dies!" like in Total Wars?

 

[Angelo85]

In this video you can see some battles:



Considering it's a Solo Dev and the cheap price tag, the game seems alright to me.

 

[Harthwain]

I need to watch some gameplay first, but the game is cheap and looks interesting so I might end up buying it. In some way it reminds me of Caesar II. At least the military aspect of it.
