This looks EXTREMELY interesting

Got the game, even though the genre isn't my favorite, it was a blast to play. Art and music brought the stuff together

The greatest terrible game I have ever spent hours and hours. The graphics are a little rough and still game play but a better jetpack than starfield. It’s fun as hell your loot goblin will be on overload.

Magical steampunk crpg reminds me of Arcanum! And looks like it's following it's legacy of jank too. I'll certainly be keeping the game on my watchlist for release

I like Elex 2 never played 1 tho reminds me of fallout 3 and NV in Some ways

most of the negatives look fixable by release. im always up for an original independent RPG, as long as the jank isn't too severe.

This review is, from my perspective, perfect. You hit the nail on the head with the bland story, sadly they did literally nothing with the oil and went all out political story, which is bad af since they promoted oil so much. Also the mega city clutter comment feels pretty on point, I do not want to look at my city up close, because all that awaits me is clipping district buildings into streets, each other, and special buildings- But the sound is great. The exploration feels left in the dust tho, as there are no beautiful pictures anymore when you find something, just a little header up top, that repeats more than in FP1 endless. It's also weird how tech works in FP2, apparently the random automatons running around don't cost steamcores and hothouses require fertile soil now. There s nothing new steampnuk or even dieselpunk since it includes oil now. Overall I'd say they had a lot of potential and wasted it on a generic bland but for a few hours acceptable city builder.

i think this games terrible really

You can't have a game about a train without a train in it. That's not legal.

can anyone tell me what happened to FANGS? did they stop producing the game? i can't find any news or updates about it.

fun only 2-3 times, win to easy, factions almost to same, alliance op, ai kill yourself, you just stand, build infrastructure and wait, no campain, only 1 quest per fraction.

saw the game, wishlisted the game, got the game, played the game for an hr then got bored and put it down for months, picked it back up just now to immediately remember why i put it down. got frustrated with the game so made a note list of all my scrambled thoughts while playing it. this review hits everything of my thoughts exactly. its a very surface level game and im frustrated that it was marketed to me as more of a platformer puzzle. there is hardly anything worth calling a platformer and nothings a puzzle. its a cute game but not worth $25, its a snooze fest personally. wish i saw your review here first! would have saved me 25$ and 2 hrs lol.

what factions are here? that's the most important. If there only 2-3 factions? that will make this game 2/10 not matter how good gameplay it will - it will end on one-shot play and be boring after 2 full matches.

Great review!

$22 bucks at full release.

thank you for this review, i will play this game, when i'll buy a computer! but, wanna play now, maybe u know how? i heard about cloud gaming, people on forums written that with it i can play pc games on my smartphone. i would be so thanful if u make a review about that, especially about boosteroid, 'cause they have servers near me, so "on paper" i can play better with it. i will waiting for u review!

Compare it to Gladius?

I don't necessarily see the idea of visitors to your curia as necessarily all that bad when they tell you of far-off secrets of a hidden world that you'll never really experience. In essence it sums up precisely that you are not an adventurer, you are not a troubled scholar on the fringes of acceptable social graces, you are not a rogue living on the edges of society as a permanent exile on the threshold of unknown shores. You now belong to one. As you ask people for help, that in turn become your livelihood and means to be a purveyor and preserver of knowledge--Not its source, and hopefully never its end. I don't think you could truly encapsulate the idea of being 'that librarian' while also having a pseudo minigame of traipsing elsewhere. You feel like one of those monks off medieval Ireland that was basically responsible for managing to keep 'the lore' of Latin works and old philosophers alive against all manner of raiders, banditry, and the corrosive touch of time itself. Of whom without them spending literally their entire lives in their cloisters constantly copying and re-copying works of antiquity at places like Skellig Michael, history itself would have been very different. It's kind of overwhelming already for a new player that doesn't know the system as well, and adding a new mini-system on top that players might feel they 'need to do' I think would have impacted game feel. You have the Hush House, you have books, you have stuff you can craft, and skills and esoteric lore to unlock as to maximize your utility to an esoteric occult society dedicated to invisible arts of arcane and transcendental worlds. in those regards I think it captured that sense of being quite well. While I personally don't think it needed some automatic journal, as it's a game focussed on the invisible arts and it would be kind of crutch just being able to look up in a within-game clickable bunch of trees to remember how you did something... But I totally agree about the UI. Also the size of the world map ... that you inevitably have to take a calming open-form RPG and spend so much time then scrolling all about the place, necessarily having to zoom in and out to feather over stuff. Cultist simulator, while daunting and clustered with information late-game, had largely all the information you needed and the stuff you needed to do right in front of you. Did the bridge need to be that long? Did the village so spread out? The beach so big? And now with the expansion, this entirely new thing all out on the outer edge of the screen. It doesn't help that so many rooms feel less like milestones each packed with new possible combinations, and more like game padding that 'demands your attention' in a way that I don't think helps with the idea of trying to capture a 'calm game of being a librarian'. Librarians and archivists shouldn't feel the desperate need to also triple as occult society event organizers, cartographers, and renovators. I don't necessarily disagree with the idea of 'building out the Hush House' ... but I think I would have preferred more a focus on the Hush House and being a librarian and archivist and less having to zoo over the village, while taking strolls on the beach, and strolling into the woods, while having dinner at the inn, while weeding the courtyards.

I think this is the best review system I have ever seen.

*Addictive*

i like the idea of these types games but when it comes to late game i tend to get bogged down in managing multiple cities and units. What is the endgame management like? i imagine there are a lot of units to move around but whats your perspective?

Cool

any single player campaign or story ?

Do they try to resell to us a Gladius?

Feeling like league of legends will release a game mode like this and will kill the game within 2 months.

Great someone watched Water world.

Two words Gaijin entertainment

awsome game runs at an astonishing 4 frames per second with no to almost no lag

The sequel I wanted but never thought I’d get.

Been looking forward to this ever since it was announced, but I'm a bit bummed they didn't add more diplomacy or non-combat options. I mean, Gladius is fun as heck and all with the constant warfare and the publisher is well known for their war simulators, but it would be fun with another layer of gameplay to interact with. How's the perfomance or turn times? Some games in this genre towards the end can take a really long time between turns. Also, how's the AI when it comes to certain unit spam? In Gladius I wish I had a option to disable flying units because holy heck the AI makes waaaay too many of them and they're such a hassle to deal with.

Any Controller support or steam deck support ?, and thx btw nice review :)

How is it possible that the review didn't mention WH40k Gladius? This looks like re-skin of Gladius in every aspect.

So those are actual battleships with legs and also alligator mouths?

I hadn't heard of this game. It looks fun. Ah, this is made by the devs who made Gladius (Warhammer 40,000)... and it's not out yet (it's coming out Nov. 8). I like almost all the worn and battered futuristic art style presented here. It's nice. How were you able to play this early? Is this a sponsored video? What are the gameplay options/modes? You mention light narratives. Does this mean there is a campaign/story for each "hero"/faction? Are you able to play them all? Is there a (user) modding framework/workshop? Thanks for putting this on my radar. All the best.

How's the music?

Two things: 1. I thought the video was loaded in 720p until I checked... yikes! 2. It looks like The Movies, Rome Total War, and The Sims had a baby, but taught it to communicate via a botched version of Ferengi.

I have played the demo and couldn't get enough of it. My only regret is, that the game isn't getting the spotlight it rightfully deserves.

The grading rubric and timeframe of this video made me sub, thanks for existing and soothing my AUDHD brain :)

2:05 Not Shitadelum 😭

Frostpunk 1: makes you feel the pain of loss of a small community Frostpunk 2: makes you understand the apathy of turning people into numbers

You used the term boomer in one sentence and then Leroy Jenkins in the next. Get off the fence, and then get off my lawn.

I'm surprised you didn't compare this game with Caesar III. It looks like they tried to copy that game and modernise it. Most of what you talked about is taken from that game.

Great review, very high quality and structure, earned a sub here. Keep up the good work man!

Talos Principle and the Council are two games that my mind keeps floating back to, years and years later. Truly intriguing, engaging, and thought-provoking-some of my favorite games of all time. The added feature of text-based adventure games in TP2 might just send me over the edge...💘

Solid review, cheers for not letting me spend my money just for a wish to experience a past joy again.

Found your review from steam and glad I checked out the video. I'm a big fan of the city builder genre and didn't want to jump into this game without a more honest review. After seeing the dev response to your review that the gladiator management gameplay "does not fit with Citadelum" I would disagree! That kind of system would mesh perfectly with this game.

so you said they still have that gladiator management game coming out at some point?

Hey, your video style is amazing! Glad to have found you! Keep up the good work.

That water looks delicious though. That's what I imagine when people talk about "sparkling water." It's also nice to see them giving you the convenience of buying one game for the price of two games.

Ooof, sounds like a half-baked game kicking down the actual interesting part of it into a separate release later on. I'm not sure why, but the Gods actually being there just reminded me of those old FaceBook games in the early 2010s.
