I am an American living in Finland....S-Market is an actual grocery store here lol And yes the Finnish language is INSANE

[@FatherDingo]

It's so alien...

[@Valnoten]

As a Swede, visiting Finland twice a year.... If you must decide: K-Market or S-Market? ;)

[@akisavolainen4918]

It's not insane. Demented maybe.

I can confirm "S-Market" is a Finnish grocery chain, last time I was in one I cant remember them selling air strikes but maybe I was too busy loading up on Fazer and Jaffa.

It's an honest mistake.

[@ophidahlia1464]

That fog of war glitch effect is really intense, it's something that people with sensory processing issues could likely have a problem with. I don't have such an issue but even I found it pretty distracting. I hope the devs tone that down or include regular fog of war as an option

[@bubbletanking]

Yeah my initial reaction to that was wow I really dislike how active that is- it'd be ok if it wasn't so aggravated and constant

[@jounibus]

Hello, thanks everyone for the comments and feedback! I removed the animated fog of war glitch effect, the new version 0.9.2 doesn't have it anymore. Big thanks also for SplatterCat for this video, this has been a lifesaver for the game again! Thanks everyone who has wishlisted and played the demo!

[@captaineflowchapka5535]

if it was slower or more "progressive " would be fine

Militia: "We didn't start this war, but we're gonna Finnish it"

[@Cuthawolf]

I'd forgotten about this, glad to see it's still a thing. Wish it had come out sooner, I think some people are going to dismiss it as a VSurvivor clone.

[@alitaher003]

It doesn't really feel like Vsurvivors tho.

[@null-cipher]

I would really add an option to replace the fog of war with just darkness or something... that glitching effect is super epilepsy inducing, which could actually be a problem to some people, plus to me its a bit jarring and I would prefer something more subtle

[@saviourself687]

Nokia phone billboard should bring increased durability to your forces. Strap a few of those bad boys to your torso and you'd be invulnerable...

Not even aliens can defeat the Finnish

[@Raziel1984]

i am german so i know the Ä Ö and Ü but i have almost no clue of the finish language. i can count to three tho "yksi kaksi kolme" ... and i love finish music: nightwish, children of bodom, beast in black, korpiklani, northern kings, sonata arctica.... ... oh ehm, the game looks fun! :D

[@TheCj173]

Funny enough I've been to Finland last week!! Awesome to see some finish games being displayed here. Keep up the great work @SplatterCatGaming

[@Hjylps]

I totally forgot about this game, remember playing the demo last time you covered it. Looking forward to the release.

[@Jibbs05]

Duuude!!! Thank you been looking for a game like this! Immediately after 5 mins watching you downloaded the demo (currently playing it and loving it!) And requested early access! Thanks man love you videos!

[@kareningram6093]

I like the look of the aliens. Very "War of the Worlds" inspired.

[@ReiverBlue1971]

Positive critique and suggestions WITH sound effects. I've got to admit, having played video games since 1982 (the ZX Spectrum), your suggestions are almost always (everyone has their own tastes of course) good ones. If I ever get around developing anything you'd definitely be one of the reviews I'd watch and pay attention to ;)

[@MaddMann08]

i just got this game a few minutes ago and everything you said you would like too see in the game has pretty much been added, you can tell your units apart, they put bounderies for mountains

[@robertlagerqvist2114]

At first I thought the game was gonna be about playing as aliens trying to invade Finland. I guess this is fine too.

[@godoftwinkies574]

Reminds me of an older game named Cannon Fodder. Uncommon type and fun looking gameplay even if a bit simple.

[@grzesiek9229]

"An O with sprinkles" - splattercat, 09-2022 :P

[@DamsdelDrennon]

This game looks like an absolute metric ton of fun. The concept is simple and engaging and the balance is clearly tilted toward player enjoyment, it just works. I thought the visuals outside the maps were a glitch on my side and reading through comments I see they're not...it definitely felt weird, for my taste at least.

[@Stolipotamus]

The "train of thought" comment is why I watch Splattercat.

[@mitchumsport]

Did you catch the mechanic about waiting to buy new units because of their tier? I think they go up a tier in pairs naturally, or maybe there's something you need to do. There's also a hint that the exp is split amongst all of them.

[@TheBlackClockOfTime]

This game is out now, can wholeheartedly recommend playing it again.

[@anonimosu7425]

those aliens picked literally the worst possible place to invade.

[@matthuck378]

Not having a cell phone as a teen/young adult was cool for me too. For basically the same reasons. But, I wouldn't want to be a person without a smartphone in 2022...At least as an adult. I mean, I can't even do laundry in my building without a smartphone. (the machines are bluetooth and you pay via an app...So, no quarters, no paycard, etc.)

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Yeah, the first world is slowly entering an era where internet and cell phones are necessities, as in actually affect your ability to survive. We think life sucks for poor people now, just wait for what the next ten years look like.

[@pipsqueek89]

"o with some sprinkles on it" love it

We all know he was going to under-use it. Just like no-one is especially surprised by Splatty saying "I think we are going to need to get a few more specialist units to take down the big guys pretty soon" at 21:00 and then taking yet another unit or three of riflemen.

[@Jinkypigs]

Yeah.

Very interesting looking game! Wouldn't have occurred to me to mix roguelike with RTS. I think it would be good idea to have the fog of war look a little less... busy? It's honestly hard for me to look at.

Go to their website or Steam and ask about it. Splat said they were taking feedback. If enough people say something, maybe they'll consider it.

Rynnäkkökiväärijoukkue isn't even remotely difficult to pronounce! For some challenge you should try riiuuyöaie, epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän or lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas.

[@Burnedoutguy]

i believe mountains can move due to tectonic plates movements

[@henriknutsson8500]

Trick to pronouncing the a and o with dots or ä and ö is to do it with the front of your mouth where a and o comes from the back of your mouth.

[@suakeli]

Ä = the vowel in cat, fat & rat Ö = the vowel in fur, her & burgle

[@GoodMorningButch]

Man it's a shame the gameplay of this isn't what I'm into as a player cause I've been learning Finnish for almost a year and it would have been nice practice! If any Finn have a homegrown game hmu

[@hansjorgkunde3772]

This begs the question why would Aliens want to go to Finland ?

[@shaggy_snacks]

The aliens have a death wish.

[@DarrylCross]

Perhaps they were political dissidents within the alien empire that were pressed into military service. Taking over the Earth is fine; taking heavy casualties is the ideal.

I have to say something about Splat. He is TOO entertaining. When I try to watch reviews of games that he hasn't covered, I get so bored that I give up! I think he needs another channel for reviewing other good titles so I can find out if I will like any non-indie games. I don't see another solution to this problem!
