ZEPHON | Worth Your Time and Money (Overview)

[@fragtactics]

Huge Gladius fan and ive been playing a few early builds of Zephon so I already know I like it. It'll be a day one buy for me, Proxy still racking up the wins

[@Byeohazard]

Have my eye on this one. Currently Gal Civ IV and Sins of a Solar Empire 2 has my attention. I have Pandora: First Contact and Gladius from Proxy. They have been on a roll.....fun games!

[@ronnmozz]

Pandora is definitely dated now but I feel like it still holds up. I feel like it is never brought up. Also Sins 2 is top tier! Zephon is definitely going to have me put that on pause for a bit.

[@Tentacl]

Yeah, I played this game's demo in 2 diferent waves, looks solid. I just don't know about longetivity, the map is kinda small and attrition is basically on every turn, but the unit design is really cool, I'd say even cooler than 40k.

[@mag287100]

Thank you for this video. Gladius is so fun to play. I got this last night, and I am enjoying it as well. Thank you for this post.

[@zhuljens]

Setting seems similar to Armageddon Empires. Also a game where story is told through unit descriptions and game events.

[@ronnmozz]

Gladius rules, I really enjoyed my time with the Zephon demo, it felt like a true sequel in terms of gameplay upgrades and game feel. It was definitely enough for me to switch over from Gladius.

[@TurKlack]

Zephon uses the same type of gameplay Proxy used for Gladius, which is a good thing, but what sells this game to me is the setting, the art style and theme. There are a few things that I think are lacking , but I wish the game as well as the Developers success.

[@indydriver80]

Not my kind of game, but the way you described the setting makes me want a book telling the story.

[@iAzajar]

Hi. Aside from the nice video, we really like your thumbnail art for it. It's creepy and pretty all at the same time. May I ask where it's from? Is it from the game itself, or from somewhere/something else? Thanks in advance!

[@kths3169]

This one looks real good but I haven't even played Gladius yet, maybe it's time... Also, glad to see you continue KZbin, I enjoy your videos so hope you don't quit!

[@mhjmstultiens]

Would play this, as both are very similar but this seems to be the upgrade.

[@Corusame]

This has a lot more features compared to Gladius, I'll be playing this one

[@CeaselessPounding]

Zephon is an amazing game that really worked on stuff from gladius, I do wish a bit that each faction had more faction based units/tech just to make each faction feel unique like gladius was. But great game nontheless

[@MrArgman]

damn, guess im the only one that remembers lucasarts gladius

[@jaywerner8415]

Funny enough, I OWN all the other games this sudieo has made. The First I think was Pandora First Contact (kinda reminds me of Sid Miers Alpha Cestari), then they Made Warhammer 40,000 Gladius (I even managed to pick it up for free several years back). Now we have THIS GAME. Needless to say I am intrigued.

[@Clutch86ii]

Cthulhu raptors! LOL sold!

[@CommanderBohn]

I will never understand people who cry that it's a Gladius reskin despite the fact that it plays differently from Gladius in many ways.

[@RedStar439]

Many thanks Scarlet. I'm interested in a Gladius with WH40k extracted concept, especially with the ominous setting you describe here. Do you have an idea of what price point we're looking at, so I may budget this in?

[@TheScarletSeeker]

sorry mate no idea on price. devs are getting more cagey with telling me pre-release pricing and honestly it kinda gives me the shits...

[@emlyndewar]

I bought Gladius a good while back, but it is in the pile of shame. Better give it a go first. :D

[@jonathanj.3695]

It sounds like Warhammer 40K smashed together with the Forever Winter. Sounds like my cup of tea!

[@CatFinder3000]

Cool

[@zlarez4485]

I disagree about the story telling of dark souls, or that it is successful. I played every dark souls game and I have no idea what the story of those games is. Pretty sure many people feel like that. All factions being humans and sharing their research/unit poll really doesnt make it sound very interesting. To me it sounds more like a downgrade from gladius

[@messaroundhandleit]

I really didn't like the tiny icons and menu ui, on top of the tier list. I refunded after opening that tier list. I'll stick with the 40k gladius version.

[@roflol100]

Looks like mod for gladius. Why would i buy more of same thing when i can play gladius for free?

[@danm3570]

the way I play crusader kings 3 it's only about war and expansion. Only play with religions with warmonger tenet so the more I invade other countries the happier my vassals and ppl are

[@nikolatasev4948]

So... you play CK3 like it is EU?

[@danm3570]

@@nikolatasev4948 the random things that happen I never get bored, have to stop for 6 months or so sometimes, I hope there is a new eu with nicer graphics like ck3, would get into that a lot as well 😀

😂 he’s grid = nah.

[@patzke3745]

Great music - what is it?

[@Woeboez]

It's from Risk of Rain 2

[@patzke3745]

@@Woeboez I'd hope I get a response from The Scarlet Seeker himself. But since he knowgly uses the music without having the legal right to do so he probably just gonna delete this comment. But until then check out Chris Christodoulou the composer of this banger who deserves credit.

[@Woeboez]

@@patzke3745 So you asked the question just to be an ass about it? Huh

[@PhunnyConflicts]

nah man, I gotta disagree Scarlet. elden ring storytelling is the worse. you'll have random characters talking to you about some kind of errrr tree(/sarcasm), or some unnamed sword, or pot, or grave, or w.e. its like playing dragon age vielguard, where sometimes the characters interactions with each other just doesn't make sense because one is talking about one thing, and the other npc is talking about another thing - leaving the players even more confused. elden ring, is similar were as. you talk to a npc, and the npc suddenly starts to talk in a riddle like rhythm with no context, making it feel like you are just passing by a conversation - in which i guess the devs wants you to piece that dialogue with a another dialogue being told from another npc, that probably has NO relations to that LAST npc that you talked too - AND if that sounded confusing, that's how i feel about fromsoft's storytelling mechanic, or lack thereof.

[@actingvoiceover4882]

ZEPHON Review limited replayability, 3 factions isn't enough and they all share the same limited pool of units.
