I’m excited to see what becomes of these games and this publishing company and I hope Dunk doesn’t lose that magic his fanbase likes. On a personal aside, I’m kind of over pixel graphics games. They don’t ring much nostalgia for me and I find a cutesy artstyle is more my speed
Interesting. I haven’t played the other SW games but it appears to be two different styles of management sim in one. There’s the aboveground part which looks like a Banished-like, and then the underground game which looks like Evil Genius or something like that…
I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.
I really don’t care about outdated graphics, but unless the exploration is brilliant, I don’t see much potential content. Combat looked ‘hack and slash’ without proper mechanism.
The only reason i play this is to dress up as Cyborg Mage. I don't know of any other game where i can be both a mech and a wizard.
The story is boring as fuck, the regions get stale. But for a free-2-play grindfest game i wouldn't expect more.
If I can be a little nitpicky here: In the beginning the dwarf said: “Ah, the Mines of Moria. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.” Now the Mines of Moria is just a nickname for Khazad Dum. Which translates to Dwarrowdelf.
So basically he just said: “Ah, Dwarrowdelf. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.”
(Alright fine, they probably refer to the actual mines of Khazad Dum. And with “Dwarrowdelf” possibly just the Pillar-hall. But that’s still wrong so I win.)
Jesus, this thing looks like a switch game yet still struggles with getting an acceptable framerate. And the animations... Do the devs know we're well past 6th gen?
Are they serious with this? This is a joke right? No way someone looks at that and say “yep, this looks awesome for 2023”. I’ll pay $10 for this, only because I’m a huge lotr fan, but $10 is my upper limit for what I just saw.
Well if that gollum game is any indication, and the Amazon show, the rights owners for LOTR don’t give a fuck about how their property gets used and abused. I expect a lot more shovelware in the future.
Copyright for the first Middle Earth starts running out in 2032, 95 years after The Hobbit was published. Probably want to milk this out of money while they still can, even if it's for scraps.
