Red Solstice 2: Survivors - WORST RTS or Great Action RPG?|Full review - 2022!

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Penny for your thoughts! What did you think of the game and/or review? Co-incidentally, the game is currently on discount during the Steam Summer sale!

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

You asked, what I think: Your review is better than the game. In my youth, when `Master of Orion, original UFO or XCOM´ were brand new stuff, such outdated & clumsy upgrading (skill points, in example) were OK. 30 years later there SHOULD be a more comfy solution.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

@@a.m.pietroschek1972 I thought the upgrade system was a bit confusing and lacking usefulness myself. I had fun playing it, but it wasn't really what was advertised on the tin, an RTS. Thanks for the great feedback!!

[@michelled1395]

Well done! Another insightful review.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@RAGaming91]

Great review video! The customization and unlockables look pretty amazing and plentiful😃

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Thanks Man! There are soooo many ways to customize your characters and experience, once of the games main attractions I think.

[@CBTalon97]

The combat looks so cool! The Xcom influnces are pretty obvious. It really isn't a real-time strategy, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!

[@TalonGaming_YT]

You're very welcome! The meta-game content is VERY similar to the X-Com games!! The combat is much like you say, not really a real-time strategy even though there is strategy involved. The combat was alot of fun though, I must admit!

[@theindiejurnee]

The graphics is looking nice on this one. I like how they are doing the quests.Looking like a nice follow up!

[@TalonGaming_YT]

It is a pretty looking game, that's for sure! Thanks for tuning in!

[@richardgray9284]

Love you’re precise run through. Very efficient.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Thanks Richard! A little shoot & scoot is alot of fun!

This game was unplayable until they added WASD support. This game is Helldivers with a bit more depth, there was no reason for this to have click to move.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Was it that bad? I like WASD, but the point and click was great for taking your time and making full use of all of the abilities. I guess both have their positives and negatives. I wonder if they may have improved the point and click control scheme as well after the negative feedback?

[@Prawnsacrifice]

Thats not true i much prefer the rts way of playing honestly 😊

[@SemiStableUniverse]

TY for video! Gameplay vids and marketing vids don't touch on this much detail.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Hey, no problem! Hopefully you got what you were looking for. I try to cover the basics, and anything I feel pertinent to the type of gamer who might want to play the game... without going overboard! :) Thanks for watching!

[@luk3824]

Nice review as always.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Thanks, once again!! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!

[@rroyce2275]

You said and showed 6 classes at about 3:04, but neglected the free 7th class, Terminator which is rather neat and... combustable.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

You caught me!! I wasn't actually sure what to put there, as there is quite a few more to unlock. I think I just went with the original numbers from the Steam page to keep it simple! Great eye either way! I did however showcase the terminator class during the video! :) Thanks for watching!

[@rroyce2275]

Aye, makes sense in that case and was caught off guard when you showed it later, probably for the better though, as the Terminator is connected minorly to the story and showing it could give some spoilers.

[@TalonGaming_YT]

@@rroyce2275 No worries. I do *try* to avoid, or at least limit spoilers to something inconsequential, but occasionally something sneaks by me.

[@gerardotejada2531]

The first game was inspired by Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising. It was quite a disapointment for me

[@TalonGaming_YT]

I can see how that might be. DOW though, at least to me, is a true RTS. This game feels much more like an action RPG. It certainly has its merits, but I don't feel like being a good RTS is one of them. Thanks for watching!! Oh, and I loved the first two DOW games!!!

[@knl143]

Wow imagine playing this game but WH40k setting

[@TalonGaming_YT]

Then you would have Inquisitor Martyr, at least it would have alot of similarities lol! Have you seen that one? It's a huge amount of fun. I have an older video review for that one if you're interested. Thanks for watching!

[@knl143]

@@TalonGaming_YT Inquisitor is good but I want this kind of gameplay that solely focus on Space Marine, the newer games are mostly turn based and its kinda boring actually

[@TalonGaming_YT]

That would be awesome! The space marines, assault marines and terminators would be alot of fun!!!

[@gerardotejada2531]

Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising

[@Erebus2075]

hmm you sound like you where bored and a bit frustrating over this game; but nothing about it in the words ;)

[@TalonGaming_YT]

I wouldn't say that, but I did mention the lack of scenery and repetitive nature of the missions. There really is the basis here for a great game. Also, sometimes while recording if I have to redo sections over and over because I'm messing up the words I can get a little testy lol.
