Hey, NIGGERS, is picrel any good?I'm jonesing for some Battle Brothers but not Battle Brothers.How does it compare?
I liked it. Pirate it and find out, I'm not a sage.
>>724622854I liked it alot but its quite "linear"you have different areas with different quest chains and you even get different choices in the main quests but the area quests are always the same that said a single playthought could easily be over 200 hours, just dont expect the same randomly generated campaign like in bbthe gameplay itself is real good, the combat is solid and you have a ton of minigames for jobs and the camp management is fun toooverall I love the game but I wish I could replay it
Overworld and strategy stuff is a lot of fun and I think I prefer it over Battle Brothers. But the combat is kinda basic desu and for me that makes the game fail. Your guys are automatically locked into a specific weapon based on class, and your guys come with a class early. So there is a dagger class, a sword class, an axe class, a crossbow class, a spear class. Combat has no hit chance and damage is only lightly randomized so if you hate RNG like a baby it's perfect for you.Classes further specialize a few levels in and can gain access to different armor classes(light, medium, heavy) along with a archetype that they are better at(tanking, damage, disruption, aoe etc). There are no elevation bonuses in combat, no pushing, your guys are just randomly assigned to different parts of the battlefield for some fucking reason like you're in a hollywood movie and everyone is just jumbled together in a mad melee. The only real complexity is some random map elements that you can sometimes use and sometimes happens automatically(cave-ins in cavern fights etc).I much prefer BBs way of handling levels and skills, sometimes you'll just get a bro who becomes a god at something you didn't expect, and the way leveling is set up in that game will often allow you to lean into that before you specialize their role towards midgame.
Bought when it released and refunded. I was never happy with the combat being real time instead of turn based.
>>724622854Trash, early game is good, but later on the rocket tag damage is insane, one fanatic with two handed sword can oneshot your entire party including your tank from full health and armor, dagger users and brawlers can attack 3 times in a row and has enough damage to one shot one of your party member without shield. You can do the same to them but it ended up turning the game to race to oneshot the next enemy on the turn order so they won't even get any turn, because if they do you're fucking dead. That, or slotting literally everyone with damage debuff weapon and hope your dudes can hit the enemies first before they do.Also bears can run the entire map, oneshot your ass, has enough health to get second turn even if you focused them, and need to be killed twice.
>>724624423What the fuck are you talking about? Game is turn based
>>724624528I've just played the game for like 5 minutes, but it sounds like a skill issue to me anon.
>>724624540I think that's something they added later. There were blog posts about it. In the start, you had to use skills before the timer ran out or something.Wasit, I'm retarded, I was thinking of Wartiles lol. https://store.steampowered.com/app/404200/WARTILE/
>>724622854I like the game so far, still working my way through the starting county. There's also Horizon's Gate if you don't mind a lower budget sea faring turn based game.
>>724622854Don't be racist
>>724624562>5 minutesWait until you get to lvl 8. The game balanced you having more skills/poisons/oils/etc by boosting damage so high you're basically getting oneshotted without them, even if you have jackshit resources to craft then all.
>>724622854It's pretty fun. The combat is simpler, but you get a lot of variety where Battle Brothers doesn't let you.I am talking capturing a swarm of plague rats and unleashing them on your enemies as your frontline and having them get increasing damage per rat around them, so you plagueswarm everyone just because you can while you keep them as pets in your camp.
>>724622854It's a aight, played it for 30 or so hours. The slow progression, lack of encounter variety and no overall arching plot to keep the player invested put me off it. I played vanilla so no idea how DLCs have changed the game.
it has a higher fidelity, more traditional style than BB, but it's nowhere near as punishing and is actually pretty braindead easy after a while. got bored and dropped it after 40 hrs. it'd be good if you never played BB but otherwise everything about it will just feel worse and less interesting.
I played a little with level scaling before before the full release, and with stats being very item dependent and you having to find materials to craft everything yourself, it quickly felt like i was falling behind.I played some more after the full release where i played region locked. Here i ran into the issue that quest rewards did not scale. In the frist region i could pick up a quest for 250 gold to kill 4 guys with 20 hp each. In a later region i could pick up a quest for 250 gold to kill 14 guys with 120 hp each.
>>724622854Disliked it very muchBoring gameplay loop, bland worldbuilding, redundant class, atrocious itemization, half-assed dlc.>>724624113What did you like about it? Love the genre, might even try absolute Tactics and king Arthur tactics. Op's picrel is lame alright. Then again, can't handle bb looks either.
Whatever you do, don't pick the difficulty with the enemies constantly scaling with your levels. The game will feel like an infinite treadmill that you can never catch up.
>>724622854This is aesthetically inferior to Battle Brothers.For some reason I can't explain I enjoyed it a lot. I think it's slightly more forgiving on default difficulty.
>Medieval setting>You can have female companions>Women having any role in combatBattle Brothers is a superior game on every conceivable level.
>>724624637bro this thread is about wartAles
>>724622854It's okay though but the gameplay loop can be boring. For me personally the best class is the sword user since you can abuse their auto counter mechanic when you disengaged. It's nice but gets boring pretty fast. Pirate it and try it for yourself though
>>724622854It's extremely shallow compared to BB. You'll be disappointed. If you're jonesing for BB for its roleplay elements, play FTL. Preferably with the multiverse mod. If you're looking for similar gameplay.... I can't help you.Sidenote: BB is unbelievably brutal and Wartales is not.
>Shiro Gameslol no
>>724627463You seem like an easily triggered snowflake, tumblr is that way
>>724624905i dont think that absolves you of skill issue. im currently level 9 on average and surviving perfectly fine because my main character shits out buffs if he so much as gets looked at funny. How did you get to level 8 without vacuuming up literal metric tons of resources for the professions your party was comprised of?I have very simple flowchart of having tanks get tickled who can pull surrounding enemies in and then several secondaries who can break armour and then apply bleeds to armour damaged enemies on the same turn- then the poisoner walks in and converts every bleed to two poisons. its not a difficult game at all you just might not be very good at it
>>724626209you can increase the difficulty of notice board bounty quests on a bartering system to up to i think like an extra 100% of the reward.
>>724627238battle brothers looks like shit and is literal abstraction instead of direct representation. youre saying Tabletop 40k is more aesthetically appealing than a 40k TPS because youre autistic
>>724632265>and is literal abstraction instead of direct representationAs all things should be.
Will I like it if I enjoyed, say, Darklands?
>>724624637I am actually interested in that game and its successor, but the successor, called Successor, is listed as mixed on steam
>>724634413So far, the best thing about Wartales in comparison to Battle Brothers is that Wartales doesn't feature any fantasy. Darklands was great because it featured actual historic Germany.So yeah, Wartales is probably as close as you're gonna get to Darklands.Either that or Mount and Blade.
>>724635393>Wartales doesn't feature any fantasy.You can fight ghost animals nigga
>>724635452Yeah, well, you know, if that's all there is it's still way more realistic... historical? Whatever, than BB.
>>724635672There’s an area with a mile long conga line of zombies roaming around. It’s full of fantasy shit.
>>724636808Thank you.Thank you for that little tidbit anon.You asshole.
