Incline Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children - isometric tactical Korean SRPG

[flyingjohn]

This game sounds amazing and I can't wait to play it. If you had to guess, what are the influences behind this thing? How did some unknowns come along and produce something that sounds like it blows established tactics games out of the water??

BTW I am so poor I'm contemplating joining BLM so I can loot a TV and sell it to afford this game. Naw homie I'm just too busy wit Fell Seal, Mechanicus and sheeeit.

Asian games have been blowing western games out of the water in every single category for the last 20 years.
The only surprise is that Koreans made the game and not some jap porn studio.

 

[LESS T_T]

They look nerdy enough though.

At a guess, nu-Xcom, (J)SRPGs like FFT, job system from FFXII, Persona-ish characters/social link dialogue (maybe this is just an anime thing), maybe Freedom Force?

They were probably just driven to make the type of game that they like and they were passionate about the right things (deep systems, interesting combat scenarios/encounters), trial and error (actually playing their own game, community feedback) and just tasteful implementation of mechanics established by other games without simplifying/pandering to casual gamers.

Result just might be the best tactical game since JA2.

That's a tall claim, but .... offhand I can't think of a stronger candidate. I wonder what ex-Tacticular folks like Burning Bridges or Trash might say about that.

Silent Storm. Though I agree this game is great.

Silent Storm.

I didn't like Panzerkleins.

The game has a damn good user rating on Steam. In fact really close to Overwhelmingly Positive. Gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised as I was expecting a worse reception.

Also it seems like the devs reply to every review.

 

[Zombra]

I guess I should write a pump-up Steam review now instead of waiting to finish the game in another 600 hours.

 

[rashiakas]

They look nerdy enough though.

Oh look, no fags, trannies and dangerhair. Would never have guessed that.

 

[Monkeyfinger]

Game seems unfinished from glancing at forum threads. I check the patch news every couple weeks or so to see when it stops being updated, then I'll buy the game.

You wont be playing for a while then. These guys just keep polishing the game and adding new stuff. Maybe wait until the dlc with the new character comes out.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Game is pretty finished excluding rough translation. I also haven't seen any bugs till now.

That's pretty much the same clothes all the programmers wore at my first job in the early 2000s (including the lovely white socks + flip-flops combo). These guys look like an nice bunch of game devs to me!

Game is definitely very (very!) playable but that's not the same thing. If Monkeyfinger wants to play the game in its "final form", he should wait.

I honestly worried that at some point they will tell us they wont be making more content. This game is that good.

They have some plans for online play, not sure about singleplayer content.

The game's so good I may feel compelled to interact with other actual humans!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Steam ain't letting me buy squat, is this available elsewhere?

Silent Storm.

I didn't like Panzerkleins.

Brother they ain't so crazy about you either.

This is their development roadmap:

Goals for June

• Diversification and addition of quests in Shooter Street
  
• Diversification of items in Valkyrie Store
  
• Addition of criminal case missions from level 45 to 50
  
• Application of feedbacks
  
• Optimization of the game
  
• Separation of EU server (Intend to copy US server)

Goals for 3rd quarter

The below updates can be postponed according to circumstances, but we will try our best to keep the schedule.

• Addition of Season 1 side story (Alisa & Bianca)
  
• Partial support of game pad
  
• Addition of in-game online community
  
• Application of feedbacks

So more quests, more loot, more missions, an extra story line for 2 recurrent characters - it all sounds like single player content.
The only online part is that "in-game online community" whatever it means.

As for constant patches and updates, I seems like it's just Korean way of keeping working on the game, constantly tweaking and improving some bits of it.
So if you're waiting for it "to be done and ready" I guess that's not going to happen while the game is alive.

Panzerkleins are the JarJar of tactical games. They ruin every scene they're in.

Fuck other humans.

 

[urmom]

But just the actual ones!

Does this thing heat up your computer like a toaster oven or is it less graphically intensive? Reason I ask is because I just recently bought Mechanicus and it's a fire hazard. My machine is about 2 years old but I don't want to throw her out just yet, I have a thing with abandoned children.... Guys?

If a game does that then it is a bug and it's a rare one at that. I can count on one hand the number of games that have had a problem like that in my lifetime.

My comp is 5 years old and no issues with heat playing this. Load times are quite long on an HDD though.

For me it does heat up my computer worse than even some AAA games like Kingdom Come, which doesn't make much sense considering how well-cooled my PC is and almost no game can make it heat up. Then again I always suspected it has something to do with Steam Play doing something wrong, so if the Windows users don't have any heat issues at all then that's probably my confirmation that there's nothing wrong with the game itself.
