Ah Spring – the smell of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the flapping of our wallets as they empty in service of the Steam Spring Sale. Lots of good games seeing some great prices right now – what are you grabbing?
I've found dune to be really frustrating. Games can take hours, and the balance with the AI is completely nonsensical. They seem to have infinite resources, and winning by attacking their base is borderline impossible. I really don't enjoy it as much as Northgard (their other major game). Matches often end up being a stalemate where no one can make headway for extended periods of time with no good method of resolution.
Battletech with Roguetech and the online map is amazing . Joining a faction, influencing the HUGE map once youre verified on their discord.. ridiculous amounts of mechs to build with so very many weapons.
Great video. Thank you
It isn't a Steam Sale without PartyElite trying to get us all playing Battle Brothers!
I found Nebulous: Fleet Command a year ago thanks to this channel. It is absolutely a steal at les than 20 USD. Get it!
Gotta disagree with Rome Expeditions- it just never reached its stride and ended up being a shallow on rails story.
Honestly none of these games appeal to me in the slightest and I usually am a sucker any strategy games. Maybe its the amount of turn based games, idk. Thanks for the update anyway party!
Love Battletech easily one of my favorite games. And Expeditions: Rome surprised me with the level of role-play a game I thought an XCom-clone afforded.
And Battle Brothers is an amazing game.
Anyone tried Battletech on Steam Deck? Curious how xp is as I am eying it. Thx!
I should try out Battle Brothers. ^^
Thanks for the video
Love you party
The base game of Battletech is great, but the modding scene is off the charts. There are three different "complete overhaul" level mods alongside a plethora of smaller ones designed just to augment and improve the base game.
Praise Lord Gaben, long may he reign.
Loved king arthur: knight's tale and Battletech too!
Battlebrothers is super underrated. One of my all time favorites, love the art style.
One of my favorite things about Expedition Rome is that they didn't do the "we're just going to ignore history and let you play as a woman because screw history." They went "This is a very unlikely, but possible way for a woman to play in this role." and I was like "Yeah, I can get behind that." I enjoy playing both male and female characters in games, but I also dislike it when historical games ignore history because of the modern perspective on equality. Equality is good, but that doesn't change how history worked.
Battle Brothers is king of its genre.
Wow that was fast. I only just say there was a sale before I saw your video in my feed.
I wouldn't touch HBS's new game because it abandoned Battletech. Career mode was a half baked add-on to the single player campaign that took the lion share of the development resource. If it wasn't for the mod community, BT wouldn't be rated nearly as high by players.
The scummy thing is, HBS kept quiet and let the community think there's going to be a sequel right up until the 3rd DLC has been sold to anyone who would be interested. You can bet your ass sales of the 3 over priced DLCs wouldn't be half as good if the player base knew there's no sequel.
Totally agree re: battle brothers being so damn good 🙂
Any chance you could speak a little to comparing Surviving the Aftermath to Endzone a world apart (if you know that one). They seemed similar enough that I don't need both, but I could be wrong.
Thanks!
man if it's not command and conquer generals then its sucks. People still play that game 22 years online no other game comes close to it
The more people buy Battletech, the more the game developers will be motivated to make a sequel. 😉
I cannot wait for the new gmes to come out. It is almost the end of 1st qtr of 2023 and NOTHING good has come out yet!
only interested in expeditions rome but if any broken arrow or falling frontier or homeworld 3 came out early I might have to drope it
All look pretty good but if I had to choose one I’d go with Nebulous: Fleet Command.
Expeditons: Rome is absolutely amazing. It was everything I've wanted out of the franchise and more!
BattleTech is one of my favorites of all time. It’s a must buy if you’re even remotely interested.
I’m happy HBS is making a new game in a new IP with Lamplighter’s League, but I really hope a sequel to BattleTech happens someday.
King Arthur is a very boring game, and Battle Brothers is also slow (boring) and frustrating.
I'd recommend Gears Tactics (Turn Based), The Last Spell (Roguelike), Grimrock 2, Roguebook (Deck Building Roguelike), Monster Slayers (Deck Building, Rougelike), Thronebreaker: The Witcher Takes (Great voice acting, card based deck building RPG), Defense Grid: The Awakening (Tower Defence).
The only way to play Battle Brothers is to play with Legends & PTR mods, which would need the DLCs..
BattleTech is just great. I find myself playing it over and over again. It's always enough time to play a mission or two. I recommend the Flashpoints DLC for some mini campaigns during the sandbox game.
What about Northgard? It's below 10 bucks right now and still gets new content after 5 years.
Modding Battletech with Roguetech or BTA3062 will make this game 1000% better! I totally recommend
Nebulous Fleet Command looks so good but that UI looks intense.
is there going to be a new phantom brige series now that the full ver is out?
Graviteam tactics are great game too
No disagreements at all with any of these games but I was surprised at some of the absences. None of the Total War or Paradise Interactive GSG titles merit a mention?
Battle Brothers is the best one by far.
I bought X4 and all the DLCs a few days ago, and now it's 70% off *facepalm*. It's been seriously improved from the initial bugs/optimization issues.
Given that those watching this video and interested in grabbing games on sale probably care a lot about value-for-money, it's worth noting that Expeditions:Rome has a very long campaign (supported by a story, not just grinding), longer than Expeditions:Conquistador and Expeditions:Vikings (albeit maybe with a tiny bit less replayability). You can extract hundreds of hours of gameplay from this 22€ game, and there's also its 5€ DLC I haven't tried yet.
I made off like a bandit in this sale I bought King Arthur Knights Tale, Midnight Suns, Warhammer Total War 1, 2, and 3 and Hard west 2 for under $100 Should last me a while
I would love to have a single player game like Nebulous
These videos are lifesavers, it's so hard to find out about games like these.
Surviving the Aftermath isn't getting enough love, so good to see it here. Rome: Expeditions is, in my short play time so far – THE CRPG to get. I haven't gotten into the "Grand Startegy" element, but I can already tell it's going good. I would be tplaying the hell out of it if I haven't been hopelessly distracted by "One Military Camp".
The Campaign is satirical, but highly stressful in an enjoyably immersive way. Learning from mistakes that result in a loss isn't the least bit frustrating. Restarting a whole new game is an absolute pleasure. Check that one out.
Dune is absolutely great with friends.
