This is a very good early game tutorial. One thing I would add is to look at the “free” talent that every knight gets (it’s right in the center of the skill tree and it’s random, sometimes (often) having nothing to do with the class. Sometimes that free talent gives you a nice base skill that you can use to pick a talent set. For example, some knights gain crit against daemons or extra armor on activating Aegis Shield.

I love this game and the difficulty is right up my street. I had to restart the campaign about 5 times before I got a handle on it. The problem is that in order to play the game, you need to already have a handle on lots of mechanics that don't exist in other simmilar games and aren't explained. This is in my opinion why the game isn't popular. You can't expect the average person to spend 10 or 20 hours in frustration and then lose because they didn't manage corruption correctly at the start of the campaign and things are set in motion that they aren't able to deal with.

@@duncansmith1044, your experience is very similar to mine. I started it on Merciful, because I heard it was “too hard”. Once I got into it, I wanted to up the difficulty, but you can’t do that (it’s not even an option to change it,) so I finished it at that difficulty, which was fun, but not hard. The next play-through, on normal difficulty, I was doing well with most things, but I mismanaged the Morbus counter and came to a point where I had no choice but to restart. I would rate this as one of my favorite X-Com style games; it’s not better than the original Chaos Gate, which I played when it was brand new because I’m old, but of course the original is not something I would go back and play due to the fact that it is really quite primitive. I loved the original and I will always remember the experience of Khornate Berzerkers charging me yelling “blood for the Blood God”, but I have no urge to go back and play a 25-year-old game.

Actually the AP refresh works many times per turn. You just have to fully finish off one group and exit combat before engaging the next. Easier said than done, but possible.

The overwatch tip was helpful. I hadn't thought of that. I also like that one of your tips is Save Scumming. Amusing.
@H457ur3 ай бұрын
Save scumming is a legit strategy when you’re trying to figure out how not to get your butt kicked. At first I did it a lot, but as I got better, I needed it less and less.

I got to the third boss of the game, but after failing and realizing several planets had 4 to 5 levels of corruption and kept having to deal with chaos gates. I just quit and deleted the game. I'm gonna try it again on easy, now that I have a way better understanding of the mechanics. Not so much from your video, but basically from learning the hard way. I got pretty far though on my second attempt.

10:45 Quick bit about this, if you want to acquire seeds but have accepted the "No crits" challenge, a melee attack on a carrier seems to guarantee you an opportunity to extract it, either that or I just got lucky twice.

Stuck? Yes. Due to a game breaking bug, which has been around since day 1 and was never fixed. My ship is on 1/4 hull integrity and repairs are suspended indefinetly for no apparent reason. Nope, no quest on the map available is tied to this... it's a bug. And it killed my motivation to continue the game.

This game rules. I have no idea why it was not a smash hit. Well, scratch that I do have some ideas but I still can't believe it was not a huge success with a sequel on the way. That said, the first DLC is shit. The second one (and likely last one) is like 100X better.

At the beginning it had bad performance and a lot of campaign ending bugs like the automatic ship destroy event, i personally did not like how they added the dreadnought as paid dlc but i got the game for 20 dollars so it evens out

Once I am within range to start an encounter on the next turn, I’ve begun using Aegis Shield on all my knights so I start combat just a tiny bit better off.
@jackssr6568 Жыл бұрын
Aegis shield is definitely very useful but be mindful that it also increases warp surge by 5% each time. There are some character upgrades that increase the extra armour protection the shield gives, which improves the warp surge trade off.
@duncansmith10443 ай бұрын
One of the things the game does badly I think, is putting too much emphasis on the warp surges as a game over timer and a bad thing. Once you accept that almost all of them have a very minimal impact and lean into using all of your abilities to save your knights health and clear enemies, you actually have an easier time in the missions and with the long term health of your knights for future missions.
