Well, I mention that type of psuedo console device within the video. But I think it’s going to be a third option.
But yes, if Valve came out with their own full fledged console, the Xbox would have a big problem. And it’s the operating system they fear the most. If SteamOS picks up traction beyond just the SteamDeck, Windows is in trouble
Neat. I played the dev’s last game (Heat signature) and thought it was way too complicated, but this looks a lot more up my alley. Being able to rewind your turn is really nice, too.
Yeah, I distinctly remember rage-quitting Heat Signature. There’s an indie fascination with putting deeper, more complicated consequences on failure that just does NOT work out when players are still trying to understand how the game even works.
Been playing it a few hours. So far the tactical part feels very similar to Fights in Tight Spaces but more forgiving. Puzzly, lots of interactions with environment.
The writing is really well done and the humor and tone are wonderful in the way only brits can do it.
There is something about an out-of-work elite strike team having to rely on public transport and using the lead wizard’s mom’s apartment for HQ while they are still taking everything seriously.
I like the art style, I’ll have to see about the leaders.
Gwendolyn Christie is a really good choice for the narrator.
I don’t like the sound of there only being three ages, but maybe there’s more to it.
Also not sure about switching civs mid-game, but being able to do things like a French Cleopatra might be fun.
Are they going to restrict this to avoid potentially offensive combos, especially in multiplayer? I’m thinking of things like using real-world colonizers for leaders of places they occupied (like an English ruler in charge of India and stuff like that.) At the very least it seems like they’re inviting trouble unnecessarily.
The prices are completely bonkers, nearly $170 CAD for the Founders Edition! This is gonna be the first Civ game in a long time that I don’t pick up on launch day.
From what I’ve heard, the ages are going to be much longer and more game-changing that Civ 6 eras. Like age of exploration unlocking new parts of the world and new era appropriate civs to play with.
Although the demo showed me this was more of a puzzle game than a strategy game (not big on that), the writing was so great and I love the aesthetic and the world concept. Should be a lot of fun.
