/v/ - Video Games

Looks like a generic mobile trash game from the art and advertising. I really don't see anything even remotely interesting about the title aside from "Made by Lori and Corey Cole", and even if they hadn't gone full [[Current Year]] - they haven't been relevant for two decades. I followed this project for a little while years back - long before it was scrapped and reworked a few times to eventually become Hero-U, and honestly I thought they were just running Transolar Games as a tax shelter. Kind of surprised it actually released but I'm long since past the point of caring.

>after two successful Kickstarter campaigns

If you need two campaigns, then the first one objectively wasn't a success, you assholes.

Yeah, QFG2 had the best combat. They really could have done something special with QFG4 if they had been able to live up to the ambition of making the combat more like Street Fighter 2 - but they (probably rightly) didn't want to alienate people who were trash at fighting games. So you had this kind of milquetoast synthesis of point & click & fighters that even had an option to play itself which just undermined the whole point of even taking inspiration from 2D fighters in the first place.

Unless you roll a thief character, that is. Then you're going to be stuck with QFG2 stats because they forgot to give thieves anything to fucking do.

The series was always planned to go right from Shapier to Mordovia to Silmaria as a quadrilogy. Four elements, four corners of the earth, four seasons, four winds, four games in each series - etc. QFG1 Being North/Spring/Wind, QFG2 being South/Summer/Fire, QFG "3" being West/Fall/Earth, and QFG "4" being East/Winter/Water

The only reason QFG3 exists, is because the thought the character didn't have enough growth in the first two games to handle the storyline of Mordovia, and they introduced the Paladin class at the end of QFG 2 but didn't have any time to actually flesh it out and you wouldn't get the chance to train as a Paladin once you were in Mordovia. So they just injected QFG3 into the series pretty much just as a Paladin expansion - with a few Mage perks since Paladin had some spellcasting common ground with it. Thieves, though? They got fucked on content.
