      I'm a fan of how you develop stories, from my time with Age of Decadence. I won't forget one time I had an assassin ask politely for a nobleman's jewel of some sort. The man looked quizzically at his aide, who swallowed hard and said I was for real, based on my previous body count. "This one is a killer, and enjoys it". That's how I remember at least.

    I really really REALLY hope this game does well. The devs have openly said this is make or break for the studio and I desperately want to see them succeed and make more games. The depth and variability in Iron Tower's RPGs is a real treat, and on such stretched funds too!

    Splattercat is the main and really the only reason for showing which developers have promise that are actually trying to be good to us gamers and not just take our money to abandon ship when they get paid and leave us gamers. More developers should start sponsoring him if they have good intentions on making quality content to be true to their fans.

    I finished my third playthrough today and it's been such a journey. Only Iron Tower makes games that I want to replay back-to-back. I couldn't recommend it highly enough: just get it if you're even remotely interested in the genre.
    And get Age of Decadence too if you haven't already. It's more "primitive" in many ways, but just as good.

    • @predragpesic5953

    Exploring new areas gets you exploration reputation, so people acknowledge you as a better explorer. And that can lead to new quests and such.

  • @colinrobert5492
    @colinrobert5492 8 місяців тому +17

    Next they should do 1-2 dungeon rats type games to bounce back on their feet: games that aren't too demanding on the script side, and using the same graphics, hopefully that will help. I would buy these in a heartbeat, as both AOD and CS combat systems are excellent.
    I'd like to thank Splat for giving this game visibility, as I really believe Iron Tower Studio is the small company with the most merit in the business. Their games are awesome!

    You can do combat encounters, you just have to build your team properly for them (feats and implants). And for truly hard fights you must use energy weapons.
    Power cells for energy weapons are super rare and expensive so must be used wisely. I did the Detroit gang fight in Factory, just to see if I can do it. Was not worth the cost in power cells and disruptor grenades. So i went with a diplo solution.
    There is also another optional hard fight on maintenance deck (Habitat), where you have to use energy weapons and EMP grenades.

    Age of Decadence had a great idea/setting/story, but its gameplay was pretty meh at best to outright bad. The dedication to "LAWL IT'S SO HARD THE PLAYER IS SCREWED!" isn't outright bad, but without the gameplay systems to back it up, that mentality goes from being fun or challenging to just being obnoxious.
    Colony Ship, on the other hand, has the systems and depth to actually back up that sort of challenge. It shows how far the devs have come. It's awesome.
