So I like this game, with a few big problems. The most important being the one everyone has mentioned: The matchmaking and lag. They're overwhelming in some cases. I regularly get into a match of 4 players, only for 1 to disconnect completely within seconds and another to... Well, lag around the map violently. The enemies are almost always vastly stronger than me in most matches due to me being new and others simply being higher level, which means now everything else is higher level. Then there's the money rewards, which I feel are too small- though it's not too big a problem. Sometimes I get great matches in an instant, but the vast majority are either no match at all or just a complete mess. If the co-op stuff was better, I'd play SO much more.
I was only mildly disappointed by the caps on the various resources until I found the cap on gold. Which is exactly the same as the cap on the cost of the rocket engines. When most of the time you're getting 50k to 150k per completed mission, and aside from rare broadcasts and such, the only way to get more money is a few hundred from a satellite. So if I'm 20k away from buying the next engine, I'll probably be wasting at least 25k because there's nowhere for the money to go.
I could easily see this developing into an absolutely amazing, enormous game. A bit rpg-like, a touch of Skyrim (smaller map, obviously), but instead of the focus being on combat and questing, the focus being the story. Branching paths with solid, good endings, many choices, all sorts of things. You wake up, talk with your 'family', which is ever-growing... You develop a love for everyone there, expanding your relatively small home into a little village all its own where you know everyone's name... I'd like that. I know it may seem like I'm setting an enormously high bar for you, but it's not like I'm expecting it tomorrow, or even at all. It was nice to get this little piece of it, and if, someday, I see more... I'd love to see it.
I gotta say, I absolutely love the work you did on the 'cap' button. It doesn't just put everything into it, it goes to the next highest level that you actually get an increase from. At least, for the skills. Which is absolutely fantastic. Dump some things here or there, then hit cap on everything and waste nothing.
Was going to play until I ran out of awful tutorial crap, but then it froze at the end of the first not-entirely-hand-holding mission. Great work. Now I won't even have to bother.
Not really sure how this game, short as it may be, escaped my ravenous badge-grabbing for so long, but I'm glad I finally found it! 5/5, despite the single-level length.
Uh... Hey, creator bossman? I think your unit level cap is broken. I just made a creature level 1000, but then I jokingly clicked again, wondering if anything would happen. Then again. It's now 1002.
Epic War was awesome. Epic War 2 was even better. Epic War 3 was alright. Epic War 4 was kinda bad. Epic War 5 was so bad I wished it had never even loaded. Epic War 6 won't even load.
I've played this game probably a dozen times over the course of my life. The first time I played it was shortly after it came out, I think. I was in my teens and had absolutely no idea what was going on. I didn't complete it, but was amazed by... something about it. I could get lost in the space between planets for hours and not really mind. The controls were beautiful and everything about it fantastic. I loved it, but I didn't beat it. Over the next six years, I've come back to it again and again. Always curious and astonished by every part of it, and sometimes even a little scared of it. Today is the end of an era of my life. I beat the game for the first time ever. ... I think I'll still come back to it every once in a while, just... because.
So... this... IS a physics game about victory through Newton's Third Law and not a twitch-timing game about dodging and praying you don't get hit, right? ... Right? (I wish...)
When you have three team members, there should probably be a purpose to more than just one of them. Especially when that one is not the main character. Every battle, ever since I discovered my new guy can maintain a combo on his own, is just me pressing e rapidly.
First off, not to be crude, but... 5/5 for lesbian four-breasted alien. 6/5 for quick and helpful dev support. 10/5 for story. 11/5 for music choice. 500/5 for making, in like... seven choices, one of the most absorbing and brilliant games I've played in a LONG time. A beautiful blend of comedy, drama, action, immensely deep story, and so, SO much more. I've played through literally every option, have ALL the achievements, and just purchased the soundtrack (Could've gotten it for free, but bought it because it deserves to be bought. Only paid $2, but if I had the funds I would have paid WAY more). This game made me laugh, made me smile, and, after the first time I made it all the way to the end of the game, made me depressed as hell because of just how impactful that particular ending was. I loved every minute of this game, short as it was, and if I had a million dollars, I'd throw a few thousand at this developer because you, ThePixelHunt, deserve every penny!
I don't even like Game of Thrones. Then again, I honestly don't have to care in the slightest about Game of Thrones to know what to do here. Honestly, I don't even have to know what's going on here to know what to do. You want to be truthful or cunning? New ways or old ways? Family or kingdom? Pick one of each, then every time a series of choices come up, click on all the additional option choices, then pick the one that boosts the thing you want. If those numbers even matter. I don't even know if they do because I ignored the entire storyline completely. I know there was a bunch of fighting and I had to send people to do things and then wait. And then order people to build things (Or to PRODUCE SMALLFOLK), and then wait. Or to improve things, and then wait. Or to do something, and then WAIT. Or to wait, and then wait!
GAH.
This game kinda has a big, deep, secret series of meanings. Not sure if it's even intentional or not. But the first is that when crap happens, we can fix it. Even to the environment. We can fix it. But... See, there were a few bubbles of oil I couldn't remove. Maybe a glitch, maybe I just wasn't clicking on the right spot, but... Even if we repair the environment, it won't be perfect. Never quite the same. But even then... You build a reef on the ship itself. Even our biggest mistakes can be used to aid in the future.
