I love non licensed superhero games. Infamous, Prototype, Undefeated, and Crackdown are some of my favorites, but it is nice to see different genres as well.

@ppbunt Ай бұрын

I was absolutely gutted when Midnight Suns was cancelled! But also glad they decided not to release it when they knew the Switch hardware just wasn’t up to it. Unlike some others *cough* Arkham Knight *cough*

Midnight Suns is a weird game, I wish they had just a combat mode/rogue lite mode so you didnt have to engage with any of the dumb story stuff

Exactly. Would have been a garbage cash grab. Don't worry. It'll be on the new switch. Or, it could be at least. 🙂

@ozzyfanatic666 29 күн бұрын

@InnerRise The real name is Midnight Sons, but because of Disney Marvel being anti-male they refused to use it. "Suns" is just bullshit. Defending Marvel against the sexism of Disney is something Ill always do, whether that makes me an incel or not.

Very glad you've reviewed this one, it's definitely on my radar since I loved Midnight Suns. Shame about the technical issues, but if it can sort those out it's an absolute buy for me.

Wow super early review code! Already preordered because i loved the team's older games, freedom force and hand of fate are fantastic,hopefully they can patch out the stuff and update it a few times. Really impressed how this game turned out tho, good job devs.

Do you think there is any chance you might review The Land Beneath Us? It's being ignored by almost every site but it's one of the better eshop games of the year IMO. As for this game I'll wait for a sale after some patches I think.

@danebramage04 29 күн бұрын

Cards rpg has a demo. That game looks very good UNTIL you see how tedious the gameplay is. Takes way too long to attack and pass time. Seemed like a cheap spinoff on mobile that couldn't decide what kinda game it wanted to be.

@TheRobversion1 29 күн бұрын

@@danebramage04 yeah played the demo multiple times. Found it very engaging and snappy. I had no issues with the gameplay (i used the speed up setting as well as i was able to speed up card selection). I had more issues with the battlemap graphics and the story.

@TheRobversion1 if I recall, the cards were very similar and kinda boring... and the translation didn't help any

@unipup3014 26 күн бұрын

Hard to tell from the review but is this more like Xcom where you can at least make your own strategies to clear battles, or is itmore like Mutant Year Zero where there is a single explicit strategy you need to use to pass a battle?

@samsilver2552 Ай бұрын

Cool!! Hope it gets some patches to get it in a better shape. It seems like a nice in between Midnight Suns/XCOM & Fire Emblem mechanics wise. Does it have a main hub area like the Abbey or just go from mission to mission via menu? I much prefer just a menu screen as the Abbey is such a boring drag on that game & it wasn’t much better in FE: 3 Houses or Engage either.

This definitely goes on the sales and all-patched-up watch list. Looks great, but when I feel the need to play a strategy game, I can replay or play any that I already have and easily get (another) 50+ hour playthrough out of them. Waiting for sales got me several of my favourites at a combined price of less than ten euro. Hard West and Phantom Doctrine at 2 each often, Xcom 2 at 5, and I got 10%off on eshop credit back then and got 50€, so the arguably biggest and best was free.
