"The game has a system where you expose yourself, effectively." Yes, Splat. You did that when you dealt with those damosels a few minutes before . . .
Thought the exact same thing when I heard that phrase. lol
Hey thanks for covering our game again!
Hi Marko! Is there a plan to release on console? I bought HoM last year on Steam and it didn't like my setup and I ended up having to return it. (Super bummed). Would love to still buy this and support y'all, but on my PS5 :P
@@joemedulla7703 Yep, we've already passed cert for most of the relevant consoles, so you should be able to play it on release for sure. I am a bit sad to hear it didn't like your PC, but if the issue was the game itself (like a grey screen or crashes) and not something like the min spec, you should feel free to poke us on our discord or on the steam forums. Even tho there's so few of us, we try to help everyone as much as we humanly can. Thanks for the interest!
@@mp42705 I'm beyond impressed by such a speedy reply to my comment! Kudos! Unfortunately I do believe it -was- the title itself that didn't like my machine as I got several other titles (some with more demands than HoM) at the same time and they worked without a hitch. I'm glad to hear it'll hit console though and will keep an eye out for it so I can grab it up on release day! Thanks again and have an awesome day!
@@joemedulla7703 Could have been the same issue that some of our other players had, where switching from the default Vulkan renderer to DX11 might have solved the issue. At this point, who knows, and i hope you'll enjoy the game when you get it on the PS. :)
@@mp42705 great news! Just got the notification on the PlayStation network that the official release date is my birthday! Thanks for the present!!! 😊
I believe 20% of my games library is the result of seeing your test playthrough of said games. Love this channel !
Only 20%? Nooooob.
Anyone else throw on splatter cat to fall asleep to? He has a very soothing voice and it knocks me right out.
I cant tell if we just have the same taste in games or if you just make every game look so fun
I can’t tell if we have the same taste or if you literally typed what I was thinking. Glad I refreshed by newest comments, you saved me a jinx or a plagiarism dispute.
Hey Splattercat, been following you for awhile and always checking what your up to for Indie games. Love your vids man
Once upon a time a great dragon threatened France. Not the Tarrasque.
The Guivre. She emerged from a river to destroy a city, saw a nude youth bathing nearby, blushed (somehow through her scales), dove into the river until only her eyes were above it, then when she saw that he saw her, dove completely into the water and disappeared forever.
So nudity is a viable medieval strategy.
Also, ghosts were supposed to flee whenever they saw someone naked for hundreds of years in Northern European traditions.
I like the x-com-esque system with meta progression. Harsh lessons at the start and when you start a new run, you have this knowledge plus one or two goodies to help you go further.
This looks really good. I shall pick this one up soon. Thanks as always Splat for the videos. =]
Had me at "Yeah, which one?" Man, I love your vids.
I love games like this. I wish there were more DND/ Xcom style games. I wish someone would make a good sci-fi cyberpunk one.
I think there was a release like that recently, but the name of it escapes me, ir was on gamepads a few months ago
@@everinghall8622 If you remember let me know!
You might want to consider Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children.
The shadow run games are awesome 👌
Yeah man check out shadowrun returns, its exactly what you are asking for. Cyberpunk xcom rpg
I have been enjoying this game tremendously, as well. It was fun to watch you play it and see your perspective. Great vid.
Sometimes you strike gold Splattercat, and I think this one is one of those! Thanks for sharing with us
This is on a massive sale in a bundle with Pillars of Eternity 2... amazing deal.
OMG... "What's that boy?" "Timmy fell down a well?" Hilarious.
Xcom combat system, so missing 96% attacks every turn, sounds promising.
Xcom 2 fan: "Sounds promising". The rest of the world: "broken"!!!
Can't wait to whiff 98% to-hit shots again!
Yep, sounds like a problem for casuals, if you dont have at least 3-4 90% shots l, then you're just bad B)
Looks like a game right up my alley.
Your channel is better than the steam queue, recommendations and game pages combined

@ 11:40 "... You expose yourself, effectively ..." Having his Character 'expose' himself seems to be a recurring theme here for Mr SplatterCat ! 🤣
Great game with excellent scenarios. Well written ! 👍😊
M 🦘🏏😎
❤️ the content and how you present it even if my wallet sometimes can't take it.
So basically it's Medieval Xcom 3: Bannerlord Saga
I think he under-valued Stasis saying that it stuns 1 enemy when it stuns all enemies for 2 turns every 2 turns.
Great game........ I really enjoyed watching you play. I hope you still plan to do a deeper dive into this one by streaming it. I have been watching for you on Twitch
Keep up the great content man!
Hephaestian Salts sounds like an Opeth song. Love it. Might have to pick this up, seems like a pretty good game in line with FTL.
I do wonder what some healing salts have to do with Alexander's boyfriend. What's the connection?
I had a great sleep thanks
Thank you for covering this game!
Looks pretty cool! Thanks again, Splat - love ya brother
"the game has a system where you expose yourself..." yea, you just completed that quest to get the boys stuff back.
Just made a similar comment before looking to see if others did. Great minds think alike!
@@o-mangaming5042 haha! Yea i had a quick scan, I thought someone must've said this!
@@James-de2hp I've only seen one or two other comments like that.
I said the same thing to myself at that point.
"Well yeah, those ladies got a eyeful of your cheeks, and you didn't even have the common courtesy to clothe back up before returning to the kid. In some countries that's a crime."
This is the fantasy X-Com game I've been looking for...
this and king arthur: knight's tale is a much play for all how loves medieval fantasy tactical:D
Thanks. This game is now on my wishlist.
The best game like this i've played was Druid Stone which was so amazing and impressive, i couldn't believe how good it was. I haven't seen anything quite like that though since.
Thanks for the vicarious suggestion! :D
Promising just like King Arthur: Knight's Tale.
I think this was 1 of a couple dozen games that had demo's released on the same day, i think last year some time. There was a handful of decent looking games, completely forgot about this one though. Another 1 was Alaloth but that one never had a demo and there hasn't been much news on it, hopefully its still on track. If you get early access to Alaloth I'd love to see a video on it!
Worth a try
11:34 "The game has a system kind of like where you expose yourself effectively." You already did that lol
The tactical level combat seems quite similar to Wasteland 2.
Damn, this looks pretty good, think I'll buy it 👍
Looks pretty good game ,nice visuals, like choices scenario.
This Wyverns looks like flying spiderlings ughhhhh xD
eyy they took the bannersaga combat system. i always felt that the armor health system worked surprisingly well.
Actually looks really good
I got this last vid.it’s was quite good.
Hey, I bet I could play this on my phone. Neat!
This is pretty cool. 👌🏼
was the dogs name lassie? he found timmy in the well lol
It's a nod to Lessie's story, yeah!
I wish they'd redo those portraits and make them more gritty. They seem so cookie-cutter RPG
next year in jerusalem!
Hey Splat, the people who made FAR: Lone Sails just released their sequel, FAR: Changing Tides, that you should check out
The young ranger ..running and hide behind old wizard .. Heroics are not her thing huh :)
Heh rescuing Timmy from a well
Nice.
Surprised you didn't comment on the Lassie parallel. Little Timmy down a well, eh? That's only trumped by the episode where he got his head stuck in a badger hole.
Wait...you choose a dialogue/story option with a random likelihood (i.e. 75% success), and instead of just rolling the die they build a card deck with the same probabilities, then have you draw a card from the deck...which is the same thing as clicking the option you just clicked? Why? It's so redundant, and it adds nothing to the mechanics of the game.
They can add things like critical failure and great success cards, or add cards that do other effects that just fail/succeed. It does add more flexibility and other games have done the same thing.
I guess they want the players to feel that they made that choice themselves. Rather than getting f**ked over by the dice.
Card games are very popular lately. I'm no fan myself.
To be fair, as others have joked about, with the whole XCOM percentile thing. Algorithms sometimes get it wrong, and you can have a 96% chance of hitting a target, and miss them every single time you shoot for it. Maybe that's why they avoided the actual game making those choices, and allow you to. Not to mention, the whole idea of the mystical and fantasy setting that is the whole setting for King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, and such, tarot cards fit a decent bit into the theme, and maybe that's the idea of the card choices. Instead of actual tarot cards unveiling your choices, it's just a random deck you pick from, for aesthetic reasons.
@@Yushimasu1 Exactly as I thought as well. I really like the way they did it. Doesn't matter if it makes a difference or not, it makes the player feel more rewarded when they succeed. A lot of slot machines are designed the same way. If you get to pick out of a pile of options to win money, the slots that just tell you what you won it was already determined, but the ones that show what the options were for the ones you did not pick, it did matter what you chose.
"System where you exposed yourself" A little late for that...
Psssht. As a D&D enthusiast, you should know better than too eat Fey food...
interesting mechanics
Looks like the "trials of fire" game mix with xcom
That's exactly what Trials of Fire is missing, characters models and animations.
honestly, i always feel like every single video ends too soon. Exactly when i want to see more...he ends it.
Try Buccaneers! Its an interesting looking pirate game on Steam which has just been released. I'm unsure about buying it and would love to see you play it!
regular node, regular node
A suggestion maybe you could demonstrate what the in-game soundscape is like for a brief moment. The voice over, visuals and gameplay represent quality and expectstions, mechanics and art direction but not really feel.
The soundtrack was made by Old Sorcery, in case you are a fan of fatasy/dungeon synth.
Wow, me like!
Caltriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip's...good for tripping foe's around the world haha
so many early access games.
"Unnatural Gaze", "Corrupted Gaze", hahaha, too funny.
Was the dogs name Lassi ? Lol
Aging AND getting older? oh dear
14:36 the what? :))))
can you do a stream on hand of merlin please. you said you would do one in the video
🖤
requires DX11 and 2gb VRAM for simple turn-based game - pass
32:58 "stasis, apply 2 stacks of stasis to the enemy, so that basically freezes one enemy", man your ability to miss obvious things in games is astounding, it clearly says it applies stasis to ALL enemies, you were reading it off the screen and still somehow managed to get it wrong and completely miss out on a spell that was much more valuable than you though it was.
Welcome to watching people playing and showcasing games. It's quite common for them to miss very obvious things to us, because we are simply watching to enjoy the vid, where as they're working fast to keep everything in a tidy time frame to make a cohesive video. Everyone from Ghostrobo, to TheRadBrad, all the way to Markiplier do this pretty regular.
I love you 😘
Tactics level -99 lol
Ok, another interesting post apocalypse game to check out on steam later 👍🏽
:)
I like but as a speed reader who's done with the text almost instantly, listening to someone read it is agonizing. Text this extensive isn't meant to be vocalized.
Honestly I skipped the start of the video to about 9:26 try and get into the nitty gritty of the game, only watch this guy strip for some women, skip a bit more to check out combat at about 11:37, only to be informed the game has a system where you expose yourself.
I'm kinda worried to skip anymore.
Are you texan?
almost 10 minutes in thinking; ' _wheres the gameplay?_ '
ah only 1 more minute of patience was needed.
First game of your uploads I find boring ngl owor maybe I'm just not a big reader haha
Why bother with a food mechanic. Seems completely useless to me.
Looks VERY generic.
turn based is so stupid. all the enemies are just waiting patiently wtf
and every single goblin takes 5 hours, way to boost play hours without making content, so trash
it depends on game, often turn-based battles have different rules than real-time action battles. So it's more for people who like strategy :D
Yeah bro, not everybody likes what you like. If everybody liked the same thing the world would be a boring place. One day you'll realize that half the world thinks you're lame AF.
I like playing turn based game more than FPS or TPS action games. Its relaxing you you have more time to think and plan tactics. Its far different then aim for the head or attack and dodge at times.
