Ooh, I was looking forward to this…!
How dies it compare to games kike Miasma Chronicles or Midnight Suns?
Reminds me a lot of that one game where you fought cthulhu cultists mid-ww2 with a group of small people. Very similar UI and same gerne of play
Ever since I saw the trailer, I’ve been excited for this. Man this year has been one of the best in gaming!
An Xcom-like that is lighter is substance but that's not a bad thing, really. I've been watching a playthrough from Christopher Odd and I'm liking what I'm seeing. He's a big fan of XCom 2 and similar games and he's really enjoying this one.
48 seconds too long. Disgraceful. I'm going to write a stern letter to my MP about this. 😮
This seemed like pretty interesting game until they hit that $50 pricetag at the end
I really like the artstyle on this.
The blurry depth of field in the shown gameplay really hurts my eyes. @ 1:30 I mean, come on.
An absolute must buy for me otherwise.
I was interested in this game but…WTF 50€?! 😳😳😳
‘Good enough reskinned XCOM’ gets it on the list, but it does seem a bit much in price considering there’s only so much to the game.
Invisible Inc. from 2015 on a sale event might be a cheaper alternative.
They lost me at the real time stealth portion of the game. If I want twitchy action I'll play an action game where the controls are tight enough that I feel somewhat in control of how things play out. Lamplighter's League wasn't that, just like HBS earlier game with out-of-place action stealth (in the form of the reworked Decking system) Shadowrun: Hong Kong wasn't that. It's just frustrating to fail a mission because my character pathed in a weird way or didn't move as quickly as expected or my reflexes just suck, and now I'm stuck in a protracted disadvantageous fight that costs time and resources.
Too bad the game wasn't optimized for its Xbox release. It seriously performs like a PS2 game on consoles right now :/
Looks really good and I really like Harebrained's other games
