First of all, I have to say that you’ve done a great job on your thumbnail, it was very catchy and I knew I was gonna play this game. It has a gritty feel to it which shows the atmosphere of this game well.
Tutorial
I started with the basic tutorial and ran into a bug where I kind of got locked. It wasn’t progressing forward. I restarted the game and that fixed the issue. Esc button straight up close the game. confirmation window would be nice that asks if you want to go to the main menu instead or quit. I completed the first and went to the second tutorial, here I could not figure out how to demolish a building. I tried every button I could. I am sure I missed something somewhere.
Main Game
I chose the party faction because I like the mechanic of lose your strong unit, lose the game. I set up a settlement and the game was progressing well, found currency and so on. Also saw some scary enemy unit, like tanks and stuff. Very cool! Found a cool horse as well.
Positives
- The atmosphere is pretty nice
- The sound design is also great!
- I can definitely see this project getting bigger and more complex.
- The gameplay loop was enjoyable
Points for improvement
- The tutorial can definitely see some work.
- Some parts of UI were a bit janky without borders and so on.
- The units were not very distinct against the landscape, they kind of just blend in, which is not what we want for units. maybe a distinct border? Or a sharper color contrast?
I will definitely be giving it a replay and following the progress of the game.
Great job! Excited to see what you do next.
