Great game already. Quite unique perspective.

If like being the underdog etc Like In AI wars do recommend this game.

Bit salty that first run where I only killed one human and it was from a story mission that locked me into that.... Some do have disclaimers... The building locking is bit vague at point and maybe would like to have bit more sources of resources . Could be that just need to play more for more endings.

The foundation is quite nice, but for now I would say it is not worth the asking prices. Got to end of the game "Empire" rank in 2 hours.

Some of the card popping and twisting is bit annoying but that can be fixed, maybe would like to have some kind of areas that I can have a box like "City" and inside that box I can have other cards and it gets expanded or closed as I need and the box it self can be moved as well so can move multiple card stacks around.
Like taverns are done with 1 manger + citizen , I don't see all the need 4 of the stacks. on the main board.

Would love the see some graphs and stats, Like Maybe ones a year or every month Like how much food did I make eat and what is the delta etc. Gold seems to be quite hard to get related to how much army and ships require,

Combat + rng is bit weird with the limited battlefield length, and the combat gets quite repetition as the length of the battlefield dictates how many units you can have against the enemy. The higher tier units do not seem to be that much better? Maybe add experience system so your troops can train? As now my whole army was just fishing always when not at barracks healing. That also something to include , General or some other unit should pull all the wounded units to barracks or just make Hospital building etc.

Then I would love much more the combat be that I could be proactive too, Give a danger rating for bandits or natives and then I could send my army there to work to reduce the combat chance. Or I would reduce the chance all to Gehrig and every action that you do increases the attack bar (I think already does something like that ? or the chance for bandits etc does seem to change ) Then when it research 100 attack comes or you can trigger it early with your army, Generally I would also like that I can beat some of the enemies permanently.

Generally the EA launch was great and smooth. Had few crashes after 28 hours but could just jump back in. If want in and play for 20 hours its great

Game gets "worse" as you play more Act 1 has good size maps and is quite interesting. Act 2 has some missing stuff etc that still has map markers and maps getting bigger. Act 3 maps are huge and mazelike.

I don't mind the slower pace of the game not needing to zip thought the map. But currently feels like I am wasting time. As loot drop rate is quite bad currently (best loot I have is from vendors or gamba and "crafting" currently quite weak. Try getting movement speed on boots.) So big maps of mazelike with low drop rate, Why I am even here? Maybe they will add more lore to the game maps so the exploring wont feel so bad. The vaal area was cool as had the carvings read so was actually nice to explore. But here is the issues also , don't know if I have something left to do and as it feels empty it feels pointless to go and try and find something in the big map.

Bosses haven't been that bad as some people are saying(Only problem I had was with the act 2 double boss, but I think this just directly related to the amount of loot people get. If you get one good item it can easily push you over the power level to beat the boss. Then checking vendors every lvl. Also some builds are just better then other currently as balance is over the place as it should be at current point. But is it really that difficult if you learn the boss in 5 minutes and then run around 15 slowly ticking the boss down as you are still using you lvl 3 rare.
Some staggers build are quite comical as can stun lock the boss or some monk build just can crush boss in few combos. This will get better as we get the rest of the support gems and weapons I think every class has and will have good builds. Maybe would want some way to get back from skill gems to unpicked gems? as earlier they are quite rare , so really cant experiment and later one with more weapons that's really going to be a pain in ars too.

Then the Ascendancy are currently quite bad. Dont really like the honor mechanic and Ultimatum is completely RNG. Dont hate them with passion as some people but what point is there to give a new player lvl 38 mission that they cant beat or just to make people skip them and when they are at maps and then just run back and do them all? (Blood mage also seems to be quite trap too for new player )

The item drops deleted is quite bad as some bosses have after the death mechanic so its quite rude to beat the boss and then be very careful that wont die or kill the boss and die as you will loose all loot. Maybe could help if all bosses are in a "arena" and all loot in arena will stay there even after dead? They already have it for quest items. Don't mind loosing the gear on normal maps. Or just hide all loot after death .

The game is great already but if you can I would let it cook for a bit. But it is most likely going to one the best ARPG at 1.0

Yes, the writing is not as grim as DA:Origins and as high quality but passable. And it is even more departure towards action rpg then computer rpg. Combat is tight but quite simple. The skill tree could be bit more complex with search function to give more choice. Some of the abilities could use some buffing.
The general main story is interesting and the Companion quest lines are interesting.
Performance is great solid 60 fps no crashes and game is beautiful.

The item system is vague with the inventory system and the shops. Like I would like to get better weapon but don't how to get one or what shop to go to? Get quite bit of different weapons but as the elemental resistance on enemies is quite important on higher difficulty. Then the other part is it semi open world parts. Quite bit of it is locked behind story missions and don't know when should/can explore all of it.

Overall this game is good with lot of LGBTQ+ hate around it . Some of the writing could be bad thanks to it but overall it does not matter for the large majority of the writing. It has some interesting way to explore persons gender identity. Some of the writing is sub-bar and that creates mismatch between the world is ending but nonchalant attitude. Lets if there are see large problems as finish the game.

Great game , lot more game mechanics then just a VN. Not too hard and the game becomes very easy when you get all your Yaoguai as actions are limited resource at start of the game.

Helping all the Yaoguai to become more human was quite nice and then to betraying them and sacrificing to Resurrect my lovely Empress did really hurt.

Would recommend.


Maybe some negative is the loop can become bit repetitive and the not really having save slots or New game plus does hamper 100% the game. Was able to get the 2? main endings with reloading but getting all the events in gallery would require starting a new game most likely. Season can be bit annoying where you need some resources that can only gotten during 2 seasons so can require to wait 3 ones to have a chance to get them.

Great Cyberpunk turn based combat game. The lore is also quite interesting or I wanted to know more of the setting and then how would these decision change factions. Would love to see the hover over tool tips for this game as many words , or faction names are bolder but currently cant get info on that screen? Like those are great to see more and more of the lore and connections.
Here would maybe want to see some global city wide screen , Like a board. Now We are "only" a piece on the board game but we can even now become a king maker. Would be nice to visually see it somehow? This would tight to the lore setting to make the city more alive.

Hacking is quite interesting and I think will become better and clearer as game matures. But many times did wonder why cant use Hacker before the level in map 0 to hack things? Is everything a closed system in future so you need direct internal access? But it does not matter that much as hacked have the op skill of hacking the dead body timer so makes it trivial to run kill all low escalation level with 2 or more having that skill.

Its already great game will only get better. Good luck :)

Its going to be a great game if they keep up with the updates as have done

Love the building and the setting.

But currently story still is quite unbalanced and have crashed 3 times loosing quite bit of progress. So I would say let they patch the game for a while before getting it. Its very good game already if can handle loosing progress or you can train your self to save the game every time your do something more complex.

Some of the drone/ robot AI still seems to be weird. Like why are they hauling regolite on priority 1 when you should be bringing life saving resources to the expedition center. Would love to see a robot job list somewhere and more control over the AI to be able to fix or at least know what the reason for this behavior.

Keep up the good work :)

Ea product.

Lot of great parts here, but its quite janky. Police seems to just start shooting my workers going for coffee even to ones that don't anything illegal yet?

Sony account required and the game will be locked if you do not link one. Bait and switch?


Was fun game

If you liked the base game you will most likely like this. But would wait a bit for them to fix endings and balance some of the bugs and text tiding up.
New war system and treaty writing are very good features. War system is bit weak but at least you will see your doom and not just wake up in bunker after the war is over.

Spoilers

Allowed by daughter to be free and then last part of the game married her to grand Duke and she just took it.

Felt bit weird.

Then the ending? Become absolute monarch and then also made Vina the next Queen even thought had a son with Lucita and nobles were pissed as dug their wineyards for gold and gave house to peasants etc and nothing happened?
And I just created 4th largest power block in the world and it was a side note on the ending screen? What happened to Vina? What Lespia is going to do? What about nobles? It ended too fast and did not really see affects of my actions sadly.
