Mobile tier slop:
Your 'strategy' depends more on what cards you draw (luck) and how leveled you are (grind). You're also severely restricted in what you can see and do. As a result the gameplay is mostly reactive and hoping you accurately predicted what will happen, in single player this goes out the window because they're pre-planned scenarios and it pulls the usual difficulty spikes of "you've been fighting nothing but ground units until now, here's a boss round with all air units, hope you remembered to bring AA units...".

Imagine chess:
Your start with a king and pawns, nothing else.
At the start of your turn you can either move a piece, pull a random piece out of the bag and place it on the back row, or 'swap' a pawn with a random piece in the bag. (Interesting)
You can't see what your opponent did on their (previous) turn until you've moved/pull/swap. (This is terrible design and kills strategy).

it's no The Bazaar, i'll tell you that

>>2495230
its okay but it feels like it would work better implemented as a board game

Brainless zoomer for people whose entire experience with video games begins and ends with "number goes up."

Free on Epic Games till Oct 1

>>2495241
I just don't understand why there are so many units

>>2495230
Yes. Cool concept, good graphics and it's well balanced for an autobattler with good trade-offs and positioning matters.

>>2495251
Still waiting for the big dragons nerf patch. Those large items they got last month are absurd. Actually they've done very little good balancing for like 3 months now. Maybe october...

>>2495284
Isn't it just going to be free for everyone shortly?

>>2495406
Proofs?

>>2495406
I heard the same two years ago.

Ah, here it is, idk what you lose going to free client tho.

>>2495397
illusion of depth where there is none

>>2495404

Not really. You can run the exact same setup multiple times and get different results because target selection is randomised for targets within their envelope (unless you equip an item/skill that overrides unit targetting behaviour)

>>2495417
>if you don't buy the premium version you receive 1/10th resources
more grind

It's strange that there's no watch replay button for a turn. My brain's not gonna process all that shit that just happened.

>>2495892
Game has replays though

>>2495590
Grind for what? Tech bits? All the units are playable with their standard loadout.

>>2496027
>Grind for what? Tech bits?
Unit abilities are locked behind the grind. You also receive less and have less room in your 'warehouse' to store modifiers between games im the new mode.
>All the units are playable with their standard loadout.
Playable yes, but you're severly limited in what you can do. It's significantly harder to plan out strategies and synergys when two-thirds of shit is locked. The tutorial makes a point of highlighting the synergy between units and skills but then you realise all those combos are locked behind the grind.

>>2495230
new mode looks fun
gonna actually come back for it

>>2495590
well it's FREE right now

>>2496048
New mode is shit.
It's basically a roll back to early days survival which randomised what units you could pick. It's the most rng dependant mode yet.

yes
unless you don't like autobattlers, then no

>>2496049
>well it's FREE right now
We know it is. You need to pay attention to what's being said.

>>2495406
Its free for everyone now. On Epic.

Isn't it kind of weird for the devs to be giving away the full game for free on Epic, but only the free version on Steam?

>>2496078
i don't like that part of it but i like the concept
i would prefer it if you built a deck outside of matches and then bought cards as you progressed through the planets with some rng about what was in the shop but also some control
it sucks being offered upgrades for units you don't even have and not the thing you really need

>>2496180
Or I can play it for free on a not dogshit platform.

>>2496027
>All the units are playable with their standard loadout.

I went back and checked thinking bs and he's right, the tutorial literally tells you to do what a new player can't:
- Use the best partnr skill to spawn a marksmen - The ability is locked.
- Use the Shooter Squad skill to spawn some fangs - The ability is locked.
The loading hints are the same.
"Fire can ignite sticky oil bombs" - The ability is locked....

The icon is on my desktop, whatever platform its on has no impact on my game. What DOES have an impact on my game is whether it's the free version, or the full version. Which would you rather play as a fellow game-player?

>>2496353
>Which would you rather play as a fellow game-player?
The one that doesn't trigger my autism.

>>2496375
Tragic!

>>2496343
it's a great game, some of those unlockables aren't even that good

why couldn't they have just made a proper strategy game?

>>2496496
You can shill it all you want but it's bad game design to lock your tutorial content behind a paywall/grind.

>>2496540
personally i don't care if you play it or not

>>2496776
>personally i don't care if you play it or not
That's a waste of breath. Why would you care? And why should I care if you cared or not.

I believe what you really meant to say is "I don't care if you're right, I am still going to play. " and that's ok. But again, did it really need saying...

>>2496375
Epic Games is much faster than Steam on my potato PC. I dunno why it gets so much hate compared to Steam which is bloated and gamified as fuck as a software.

>>2496976
cool story timmy *sharts*

It wasn't even true, something is fucked in the current Epic Games version and it was trying and failing to install Fortnite for some reason without the option to disable it, and got caught in a loop of restarting and failing updates. Good thing you can just grab the game from the website anyway, I uninstalled that shit.
That doesn't make Steam not bloated though.

>Played several matchs of FFA
>There's a 'Neutral' AI team in the middle
>Every round it launches wave after wave of max level super units at the player currently in the lead.
At first I thought this was bad luck, turns out it's intentional and the winning move is to avoid being in the lead so the AI curbstomps your opponenets for you in the final round.

>>2496838
you're accusing me of shilling when i literally could not care less whether you play a free game or not

I went from 600 to 800 MMR :)

Geez, we get it, OK?

Buy an ad already.
