Urban Strife - turn-based zombie survival RPG - now available on Early Access

[PanteraNera]

Curious what gets released first, Urban Strife or Jagged Alliance 3.
Can't wait for both of them.

Jagged strife probably gets out first. Or maybe Urban Alliance.

 

[USG_Mucifikatorul]

My bet is on "3". There will be a "3" out there, you can bet.

I wonder how long would 50/50 male-female tag team survive in postapocalypse. If those females were hardened women, like some based Republican Momma Bear which first shot from her Daddy's magnum, then learned word "Daddy!", some Chinese/Russian ex-spy that uses her sexuality as well as sniper, some Black Panther militant BLM chick dual wielding uzies, I could get any of them being part of team that goes to hunt zombies. Any such female archetype would make sense to be hero in zombie apocalypse story. But no. What instead we have here is danger hair, college educated, how do I boil egg, guns are disgusting, this zombie just hurled micro-agression at meee hwhite woman and fragile looking asian that was probably her classmate. Not to mention completely forced and artificial 50/50 split male to female when it comes to heros. Stop it Wall, you're sperging again. But wait broes. Itz not just here. In 90% of screenshots and videos released in last 6 months to year, this is the case. Funny, coincides with getting Publisher. Not in Urban Strife only. In every single Western indie or mainstream game

Why are all games behaving like NOTHING that happens in our reality is true and why instead of transporting our ugly and interesting reality into hypotetical what-ifs and seeing how things go from there (as things used to be done in period 2000BC to 2008), you all create this bland, agenda driven, sanitized, fake reality which is either: Kill white males, fuck white women - Netflix 2022 or Let us allll be friends, we are all equaaaally smelly flowers - Netfix 2015

In conclusion, a question: do you have forced (self-forced or publisher forced) quota to never publish a single screenshot which would make the most sense in zombie apocalypse: all male team fighting for their survival. Men of different ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, proffesions, races. But non-the less: cool team of cool men making cool zombie head shots before being eaten alive

Imagine modern day America being transported into zombie apocalypse. It would be such a beautiful shitshow! You'd have 100% black, BLM scavenger groups in big cities which would carve their little urban Wakandas, and kill any white survivor with same prejudice as with average zombie. Republican small town strongholds, walled of, with sniper and minigun nests, 90% white, some of them normal, some of them Trump cultist who'd worship Trump like Jesus 2,and be known as Trump Legion. You'd have high tech billioners' vaults, where they'd hide and work on all kinds of new robots, biological cures and diseases, new weapons, new physics. Who knows whether salvation to the outside world or something worse then zombie plague would come out of Jeff Bezos Vault or Elon Musk Tower

Instead? Aaaaagh let's put 2 college women with noodle arms, a buffoon looking fool and Mid-West local village Henry Caville who'd in real life do all the fighting while rest of team takes group selfies with soy faces with dead zombies after every won fight or pisses xemselves whenever zombie sounds are heard

How's it possible, that without any concrete censorship system on Steam, literally no bars hold, all indie creativity, and I have seen many sparks of creativity, gets neutered and changed into something Reddit approved, as soon as it approaches its release date. That's why when games like Sir Brante or Suzerain come out, thou with very small budgets people LOVE them. Because they feel real and people in their stories act as real people would react in those given real or fantastical, American or abroad, present, or past or future context. People are tired of fake

If only we could return to the heady days of Jagged Alliance and Silent Storm, where female soldiers didn't exist.

Dude. Did you read what I posted? Those women were badasses, like the examples I've given. And most certainly they were not 50% of mercenary selection. Every mercenary, with their backstory made sense. You have screenshots for Urban Strife where fake red hair, fake blue hair college white women + Nigerian urban princess + their whip boy, gay white friend go around and "survive". Buahahaha. Just buahahaha. Can't wait for Reality to hit like truck dear in the night anyone who finds nothing weird about that

Your comment could be used as an example when they teach sophism in school. Such a weak, passive-agressive, feminine vibe. Stop drinking tap water

Even the first Jagged Alliance had female mercenaries, which continued in Jagged Alliance 2:

I've noticed several posts today where you respond to a joke as if it was serious.

 

[The Wall]

I mean are you braindead, or just natural sophists?! I didn't say not have female fighters in zombie apocalypse. I opened with what female archetypes would be cool, fun and make sense as warrior against zombies. Jagged Alliance didn't have 50% female fighters. Jagged Alliance didn't have 50% female fighters. Jagged Alliance didn't have 50% female fighters. All of female mercenaries had cool backstories, made sense and looked like fighters. All of female mercenaries had cool backstories, made sense and looked like fighters. All of female mercenaries had cool backstories, made sense and looked like fighters.

Do you nerds know anything about Reality? Have you watched videos of female cops on duty being raped by blacks in London while trying to stop rape? I used to be annoyed by such incredible smug ignorance of basic reality of human society. Now it just makes me laugh. I just wonder: is any of you Redditors in disguise capable of adressing my argument

 

[The Wall]

We live in Gynocentrism heading toward apocalypse and all entertainment is made for females, by females with dicks. Truth is rather disappointing. Few games are made for men. Men are danger to System, better not get them inspired by any work of entertainment. Instead: confuse them, shame them, demoralise them. Until they need to go to be burned alive to crisps by flame thrower launcher at 3000° degrees in Ukraine. Then they can get their 5sec of masculinity. What a pathetic civilization

It's hard to tell on the internet and on the Codex doubly so.

It's a game about shooting other people in a world full of undead. If you expected something without violence, you clearly went looking in the wrong place. We'll paint the world as it should be - criminals will deal in drugs, guns and sex. That's usually what they do and even more so in an apocalyptic scenario. If your kid is younger than 18 and he's innocent about these things, you'll do well to keep him away from 18+ games. No hard feelings.

No, you actually just make assumptions and they are false. Those variations you mention are all one character - your avatar. If you want to play as a male, just play as a male and forget about the blue hair.
Also there are just two female recruitables so far in the game, a hunter/sniper that comes from an army family (Kaylee) and a nurse with a military background (Lucy) with a specialty in stealth assassination. The rest are male. And quite bad ass.

PS: The team composition is entirely up to you, the 50/50 thing is just something you'll have for the intro (starting team). Also you'll run a team of 5 so there's no 50/50 per se.

 

[The Wall]

Allright, thanks for giving wider context outside of gifs and screenshots. All screenshots having 50/50 male/female split is mathematical impossibility on its own, and is probably ordered by Publisher or someone from marketing/HR. Still, game continues to look extremely promising and I keep it on my list "10 upcoming RPGs that will be guaranteed Incline". I just hope game won't conjure up some fake reality that only exists in some Netflix show like Glee.TM, and unleash zombie apocalypse on it. Our reality is far more interesting

Let's see: sexy looking, with female appropriate strength stat, cheap due to inexperience to hire, good with guns. One of them was in bikini on Guns calendar. Yup, that's 90s/early 2000s for you. Sexy women with guns. No problem back then, highly PROBBBBBLLLLEMATICCCC today

The Legion fits the story (apparently there's a Legion in JA3 too, Fallout doesn't hold any divine right over that faction).

But since you asked... Lino Cesare, the guy who holds the Shelter under siege when the game starts, is of Italian origins and claims he's a direct offspring of the Roman emperors. The man has lost his marbles, but under the circumstances, it's understandable. Also since he's the local garbage man / mafioso and he has a habit of organizing pit fights between his opponents and zombies, there is nobody alive to contradict him. That is generally bad for those who lost contact with reality.

You kill him and move on. Or he kills you and the game ends. Either way, there are 18 major groups / subfactions in Urban, you'll soon forget old Lino Cesare if that's what worries you.

All screenshots having 50/50 male/female split is mathematical impossibility on its own, and is probably ordered by Publisher or someone from marketing/HR.

Nah, don't worry, MicroProse dudes are completely chill and old-school type of gamers. They love the 90s vibes as much as we do and they'd probably cut their right arm off before pushing PC crap down our throat. If the 50/50 split bothers you that much we have good news - we're well on our way to complete the first tier of the campaign. That means at least 2 new recruitables will join the team: a mechanic and an FBI agent. So the team layout will start to vary and you'll see new faces.
