Instructions on how to play this great abandonware on fan-run servers: https://aftersparc.com

Non-combat movement mechanics eventually kills the fun.

This is isn't a hard no. The game has a lot of things going for it and I had a lot of fun playing at first. Playing on the auto-save only mode and 12 hours in, I got to the point where bloom was rising to fast to win any missions. This is probably systems got to corrupted and I had not progressed my squad far enough. If so, I am OK with that game mechanic. I wanted to restart, but just can't because you have to wait on each member to complete their movement action before starting the next. Since it has be methodical (discovering a new set of baddies with a member far ahead is bad news), this gets old very quick. I guess I'm spoiled from X-Com. . . being able to quickly scout out the map and get to the fun stuff.

edit: Devs have since fixed the cripplingly annoying things, and now there are only good things left.


I tried this out to play around with some strategies between IRL Gloomhaven sessions. I could not stand that selections cannot be undone during the action phase. Click the wrong card and you are immediately stuck. No reason for that. I'm sure there are a lot of great things about this digital version, but I will not be messing around anymore with this unless that is addressed.
