I bought the game on release purely to support the studio and I would definitely recommend waiting.
It’s an excellent game being made but you can really tell that they didn’t quite know where to go with this game. They pulled together mechanics from various genres that don’t fit together that well.
The waiting mechanics are a non-issue since you are usually playing “the real game” while side stuff is happening in your town.
Graphics, art and music are all fantastic, as expected from a game by Moon studios, but performance is an issue. Greatly improved since launch but still not where it should be.
They are listening to feedback though and I’m sure they can get everything in proper order in a year or so.
Yeah, I’m also on my third controller RMA. First the stick on the left controller started drifting, then the right controller’s plastic started peeling off and finally the right controller stopped working altogether.
At least they did the third RMA for free way out of warranty.
Had to buy a new headset cable on my own though when the display started flickering after 2 years. They also sent me a new plastic clip for the cable on the back when the old one broke and a new left speaker when it started crackling instead of requiring me to send in the full headset so that’s pretty cool.
It’s twice as funny in this game because they added Denuvo a year after release. Meaning all pirates got the game DRM free on day one while paying customers got Denuvo patched in.
But the HMG is not a support weapon and the railgun is? I don’t quite get the point.
We can take down 4 chargers at the same time with this strategy with 2 people with recoilless. More than that and the orbital laser or railcannon have to come out.
The chargers work pretty well with a shot from the recoilless rifle in one of the front legs followed by a magazine of the primary gun in the now exposed leg.
HMG + recoilless also works pretty well, rocket in leg and 1-2 seconds with the HMG and he’s gone.
Only downside is the reload time so if you have 2 or more chargers somebody has to kite them while you reload.
