Anyone playing the game ? Does anyone know what is with the "coming soon" thingy in the paths menu? Half of them are not shown. Does that mean they are unlocked later on or is the game unfinished?

is the game unfinished?

It's 2023, what do you think? Games are finished 2 years after release, when they get an enhanced edition, anything earlier is a beta.

The games alright reminds me more of gladius ps2 if It were more open world with slight rogue like elements then battle bros.

Yeah, I'm really glad people reported back about this stuff here. Am still interested in the game, but not until it's actually for-real capital-F Finished.

 

[Barbarian]

I would not be surprised if this game gets some 2 years of dlc and updates, ITT.

At least going by its success and by what the devs let out in interviews.

Yeah,you are lucky. I was waiting for that shit to finish and just put it on the back line,then i read in here that it is released and now some shit is missing in the game. Still enjoying it,but it is unfinished. Also need a bit of polishing and changes to become really really good game.

-I thought it was one utility skill per character but you can have multiple. I try to recruit everyone with Wrath since it's the most useful hands down, but Run is also handy. Bandage is not generally needed but good to have on someone. Taunt is rarely useful.

-At Trading level 4 you can build trading posts which allow fast travel and provide an actual stash, unlike the camp chest.

-If you steal a skillbook and get caught the fine is only 20 gold, much cheaper than buying the book. Not sure if there are long term problems with that. I tried raiding a 'rich caravan' but only got ~20 gold and some items plus massive wanted level, totally not worth it. It's a bit odd considering the setting, there are bandit groups running amok yet the guard never bothers them, only you. It'd be way more interesting if having a high wanted level caused other merc parties to chase you down.

-If you see a fog in a forest at night, head in there, you'll fight ghost animals with important crafting mats. Save the carcasses for when you find the tanning rack.

-Strategy table 3 lets you start battles in a tighter formation, aka Things That Should Be Enabled By Default

-With Campfire level 3, you can fully negate the penalty from not eating and never have to carry food anymore.

Interface can get pretty crowded. I wish they actually added the function to remove utility skills actually(I'm used to only leaving one or two per character).

Anyway, I hold on playing for this for another year. It is a fun game but it will get a lot better. Better to enjoy the final product.

You get bonuses from eating different food tho,also is nice in a way,makes it more realistic.

I have noticed that the UI is pretty shit,there is a lot clicking to be done,the worst is that it shouldn't be needed lol. Why i have to select a cook every time i cook when you have a cook on the cooking pod,or a guy on the crafting table. Also can't just craft a bunch of shit at once because after every craft it tooks you outside of the crafting menu to tell you that you crafted it.

Another negative i have seen is that you need to have the item in your inventory and not in your chest,which is retarded since you put them in your chest because you want cleaner inventory,it changes nothing.

Cook thing is if you got multiple cooks like I do. But I agree it should not come up if you only got one cook.

Taunt is very good. My tanks are beasts at this point. They can usually use their 3 attacking skills to kill one enemy and then use Taunt to lock another into Engagement with them which basically removes two guys from play (as they got good Guard, lots of armor and Riposte).

There is plenty of small things that could be improved in the game.

I agree. Hopefully they continue working on it and in 1 year we get a much more polished version with no stutters.

Strode into the ancient ruins with gay abandon, certain that we were in a historical, non-fantasy setting. Wasn't expecting that!

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I actually like the way the dungeons were implemented. Total darkness combats are a neat idea (and rare these days) but the monsters aren't deadly enough to be a real threat.

It depends on the level,but i do agree.They are no different than random gang. Also the most dangerous enemy are the rats lol.

Has this gotten better since the first EA release? I remember testing this out for a few hours when it came out and it was okay, but didn't feel it was quite ready for me to spend that much time on it. Has the full release lived up to BB or is it the gay retarded redheaded stepchild?

 

[Ibn Sina]

Shit game. The developer didn't listen to any of the feedback. Many were telling them to get rid of the backpacks during fights and implement helmats. but nope, nothing was done.

Its is gay retarded chikd. Watching your fighters fight with backpacks (while the enemy does not have them) is entertaining in watching a circus show kind of way. You are better off playing battle brothers. Also there is no helmets lol.

It's definitely improved since the very first demo from some summer fest or whatever it was back in 2021, but I'd honestly say the game still needs some more time in the oven to be properly finished.

holy shit, this game might have the worst interface i've ever seen. messy, unresponsive, convoluted, everything is tiny. just the act of saving is a pain: you usually start from a pause (which is also terrible because no instruction can be given during pause, and pausing breaks targeted commands), so you press esc and the first thing that happens is... pause off, so you now have to press esc again. save, double click on file does nothing. it's closest and faster to press enter on "do you want to overwrite?" prompts, but here it does nothing, so once you kicked yourself because muscle memory kept kicking in, you go back and finally click "overwrite". no quicksave on f5 either.
and this is not even the worst. the worst is once you start to have 8-10 men, with very awkward names, and have to place them on the battlefield while they all look the same.
vizzini would be shocked.

Did anyone manage to kill the undead horde?
