<early access

<nu-males, minorities and buttt ugly females

Sadly these went from being just a poor design choice to be overlooked and became telling signs of poor overall quality of a game.

I tried it for a bit. Seems alright and the combat is a little more involved than DD I find, what with the card mechanics. You're right about the art direction though.

Artystle reminds me Hellboy, but Hellboy isn't what I would call a well drawn comic.

It looks to me like someone tried to copy Darkest Dungeon

>>13962749

Remember, every resource to pandering and sjw are resources not put on game-design, so the product won't never achieve it's full potential

>>13962749

I hate the unnecessarily overblown idle animations. But that's a pet peeve of mine. If we compare Darkest Dungeon's animations, they are much more subtle, just the way I like it.

That's exactly what it is, especially if it gets an android release and is locked into mobile aspect ratio.

>>13962816

Tell me about the card mechanics. I tend to not like them.

>>13963555

Items have cards associated with them, like a Burst Fire or Aimed Shot card that do different things. By equipping your dudes you can build a deck from which they are drawn every round. You can influence this with certain classes/cards or by spending energy (= Light in DD). It's basically a mixture of regular RPG equipment and cards because the items themselves also have modifiers attached to them.

Fuck that, then

>>13962763

Shut up, nerd.

artstyle looks like a dumpster fire.

Why is everything repulsive?

Why is combat using GRIDS grids on small maps,

>inb4 it's even worse than in shitpark: assblast

>>13963976

He's right, you know.

>>13962749

It's even more shallow than DD so reddit twitch crowd phone tacticians will probably love it

>>13964353

it actually manages to be worse somehow

whilst darkest dungeon was rng shitfest masking as baby's first tru h4rdc0r3 gaem it at least tried to do something different with the otherwise unintuitive turn based combat and the whole torch risk/reward thing where the darker it get the stronger the enemies get but so is the chance of getting good loot ;this one simply adds CCG mechanics to the turn based combat

>>13962749

>praises it for its style

>then bashes it for its style

???

>JRPG style combat

I'm not going to even pirate it because of that. If you're going to sell it as turn based at least make it turn based tactical like xcom or final fantasy tactics.

The art looks like trash too.

>implying it's JPRG

>implying it won't be

<we saw a let's play of a JRPG southpark: destroyed anus and decided to copy that and make it worse

>>13964411

It really is shittier. UI is poorly designed and card tooltips are impossible to read if you don't equip the item they're on. A lot of stats and effects have no tooltip explanation whasoever; I still don't know what was recycling supposed to do for one. And CCG mechanics can really hinder any character, since enemies are always limited to a very narrow moveset but the characters might not see a single offensive card for several turns straight. It's much worse than in DD where at least you can try attacking or doing whatever in every turn.

>>13962749

>turn-based

Yuck. Tabletop games are turn-based because they have no other choice. Anyone who willingly makes a computer game turn-based is a fucking idiot.

>>13967594

They drive up the price of gas

>>13967594

They need to go back, lest they become the majority and their nature is shewn naked for all to see.

>Implying that most video games aren't tabletop games in environments that allow them to do more stuff and make players unable to break the rules as they wish expect for cheat codes and mods.

I wanna feel your boobs

Looks like Darkest Dungeon but without the charm. Dear God why did they make the color scheme pretty much the same for everything? It doesn't look thematic, it looks incredibly boring.

>muh numales

It will scratch that offense itch, that's for sure.
