Incline Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children - isometric tactical Korean SRPG

[flyingjohn]

Is the story unfinished?

Yes. This game is only part 1. The story will be finished via dlc or a sequel. Part 1 isn't even finished as they plan to add Bianca and Alisa's stories

I think it's better to let them do their own thing. If they start thinking mainstream, money, media, then before you know it they will be dumbing shit down and making things more accessible, and you'll lose the awesome product you had.

Without money they will go broke. You have to do some marketing. Games are expensive to make and their sales are pretty bad compared to the production values and how much they plan to achieve in the future.

Marketing is a Schrodinger cat.If it works all the success is attributed to marketing and if it fails then you didn't invest enough into marketing.The simple reality is that if you are not nuxcom or fire emblem you will fail.
Also we have no idea what was the budget and if this was even a full time gig.Plus Korea is quite different in expenses then California.

Acg buys his games so that means he has no interest and already has enough games to cover.
Dastactics is already swarmed with requests and that would mean paying him which is a bad idea.
Everybody else is way too expensive.

But even if they fail they have made a great srpg that should make hacks like Gallop and Solomon feel embarrassed.

Is it very spoilery?

Do you need to grind reputation/reagents for crafting, or can you just enjoy the story?

You need to farm to craft, you dont need to craft to beat the game. To be honest im not even sure you need to craft at all, 95% of my gear is loot.

Potions can be upgraded that way, though buying those isn't that expensive.

This has been sitting on my wishlist for as long as it's been on Steam. Finally bought it thanks to the discount.

 

[Leocruta]

This game's a steal even without the discount.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Is there ETA for DLC?

 

[Cyberarmy]

This game's a steal even without the discount.

Yeah, I played it for 120 hours and probably nearing to end, even at full price its a steal.
Never grinded, didn't need it. Money is easy to come by and shops are usually have good stuff, especially after you becam friendly with them.

 

[Visperas]

I'm gonna start playing this game soon. Without any spoilers, what are the difficulty settings and which one do you recommend?

 

[Reinhardt]

At least hard, because some enemies appear in missions only on hard+.

 

[Sundevil96]

I posted a review on steam, mentioned this thread and the developer visited this thread.

That's awesome! I hope machine translating this thread to Korean didn't make us sound any weirder than we already are because none of those guys speak English.

 

[Sundevil96]

I'm sure the picture of the team a couple of pages back will translate well.

 

[abnaxus]

I really miss Black Cat.

 

[JarlFrank]

So I've been playing this for a bit.

It's good.

Thought it would be more like JA2 than nuXcom but the AP and cover systems are very nuXcom... eh. Not the best, but decent enough.

Love the variety of abilities. Levels are big and there's lots of enemies to deal with. Couldn't care less about the story stuff but the gameplay is pretty top. Love how varied the missions are, I played over a dozen already and it doesn't get repetitive.

 

[Leocruta]

I went in expecting to at most accept the 2 ap system, but I've found that it actually works really well with the speed and turn order system, and the various ways you have to alter when someone gets to take an action. If they had used time units instead, I think they would have had to use a more static turn order, to the game's detriment.

 

[Jasede]

You guys! This game is actually really good.

I was hesitant. I don't like anime (at least not shonen), I don't love the X-Com 1/2 formula and I was wary of the bad translation.

But this game is a miracle. I cannot believe it's this cheap and this well-made. Even the writing is good, in a strange way. Like, I can't tell for certain, due to the translation issues, but the way the plot is presented, and the cinematography in those dumb cutscenes is actually legit good. And the game itself? Well, the best thing since X-Com 2: War of the Chosen in this specific tactical genre. Very happy with this. Thank you Codex!

How important are the decisions you make in this game? Do the consequences really change the level or the story?

I think I'm at one of the first "important" ones. In Ramjit plaza, I'm talking to Ray and I have 4 options: 1- I need your help with civilians. 2- Please evacuate. 3- Are you running away? 4- Did you do all this? I'm willing to spoil myself this one to get a better feeling of what do they do. What did you guys choose here and what happened short term?

Everyone picks the first option because you get to play as her. The others probably give masteries but I wouldn't know

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Bought the artbook to support the Dev

Hopefully Chapter 2 or whatever will be made

Game is gud

 

[Luka-boy]

How important are the decisions you make in this game? Do the consequences really change the level or the story?

They can change some levels quite significantly. And some Masteries are only acquirable by making specific choices.

Spoiler

Not the overall story, though. And after beating the first chapter of the game you unlock the ability to replay story missions to see what different choices change and unlock whatever you missed

 

[pakoito]

When's the steam sale I wanna buy this game

 

[GhostCow]

Buy it at full price. Its only $25 and they both need and deserve the money

 

[Lyre Mors]

Seriously, if we want to see good games like these continue to come out, and particularly from these developers, just shell out the full price. It's a ridiculous amount of GOOD content for $25.
