Bought when it came out for the complete 60 euros. Never again will I buy something off the press without checking first. I was hoping it was some sort of age of empires but then with other races like kohan II or A warcraft, AoE maybe alittle strongholdish? but no. It doesn't even have generic bot maps or anything like that. I wish I could refund. But I don't think I could back then, nor will I get my 60 euros back.
Rest in unrecognised peace.
it's not that bad. the thing is, it's not that good either. works fine graphics audio np story boring tactical combat fun for a while but then feels like grindy micromanagement for no reason.
Game is garbage, simple as that. Plus you can't change the fucking language.
It reminds me of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor.
You guide a party of four heroes of twelve through large dungeons. The party can be modified on checkpoints. The game becomes increasingly difficult towards the end. Simply right clicking on a group of enemies can work on initial levels, but the same tactic can easily get your party killed later.
I enjoyed the game, though I was not expecting much. Always have a tank in your party, and try to get rid of the enemy spellcasters first.
This game is great! Sure, the graphics are a bit dated for 2020 but this game was also made in 2012, and for then, the graphics are darn good. There's no bugs, and plays smooth. It's an action rpg/dungeon crawler. If you like games like Baulder's Gate, Pathfinder Kingmaker, and Pillars of Eternity, then you like this kind of game play. I don't get the hate, I've found nothing to give this game a thumbs down. If you also played any of the Confrontation table top, you will dig this even more since it's very much in that world. Solid game for only $10, get it, it's fun.
This game is not polished, but if you enjoy micromanagement then you'll love this game, since your party has a tendency of doing whatever they want unless you repeatedly click away. The game does provide a challenge with decent tactical gameplay. The story seems bleh, character development is hardly a thing, leveling feels solid but I can't tell how much the stats and abilities upgrade/matter. I think you get what you pay for with this game.
Well the reviews for this game are incredible. It consists mostly of people who only played a few hours and didnt even give campaign a shot. This game is not the greates of its genre or the year it was released, but it certainly does not deserve such a low rating in reviews. Lets talk about some of the common points made the negative reviews for this game.
- The game has linear. It certainly is and the game is described as one. This is not an Open-World Rpg, it is a Tactical one.
- The story is not good enough. Well the names might be awkward to hear for the first time, but after a couple of times listening to the great narrator you ll get the hang of it. The initial lore of the game can be learned from the game manual, the story is told through a narrator and codex pages acquired after certain events in the game enriching the lore.
- There is no loot and no items. This one is justified, but you are presented with a lot of characters you can choose for your 4-man squad. Each of these heroes have different weapons, secondary weapons, skills, upgrades and glyphs to choose from, making the customization of your troop interesting.
- The game mechanics are clunky. They are pretty smooth once you get the hand of it. Ordered commands cannot be broken is the rule of the game. If you invest some hours into it, the problem will be solved.
This game does not deserve this score. It seems people jump on hate-trains to eagerly.
Very good tactical game. Timing you actions is critical.
Acceptable graphics, nice story if you are into the "Confrontation" world.
Character and item progression could be better but again enough to make it count.
Overall a game you will enjoy if you like the type.
This game is buggy, feels like a port (wouldn't be surprised if it was), controls and movements are wonky, units run in place at times (...?); graphics are very sluggish, and Anti-Aliasing is badly done. The units at times don't respond very well (even when the game is paused, they don't carry out the order) and the game feels outdated even though it was made in 2012 (...?!). I didn't enjoy playing the game. I didn't feel the immersion behind it like other games of its genre and it was rather bland.
I'd stay away from this game - don't believe me? Check out the other reviews!
Well, I had a long review written, but this page refreshed. In short, I do not recommend this game at all. 0/100.
I'm sure it was a great story and it was planned to be epic. But it's clear they didn't even try out their own product and the lack of testing is evident. Controls are garbage and combat is frustrating. It was, whole-heartedly, a waste of time.
Just dull and tedious - even ten minutes is enough to realise that game play is poor. Graphics are jerky (even on an i7 with a DX11 graphics card and the graphics settings on medium). Voice acting is dull and annoying. Game play is almost non existant.
Just don't bother an either save your money or get something else (DoW2 if you haven't already got that)
I'm sorry. I loved confrontation the mini game. This on steam seem like a good idea to get back to that nice feeling.
I't not worth it. It feels like it is under developed and undertested.
Lots of details dont quite work. feels slugish.
A real shame.
Not the worst game ever, but close enough. The pace is slow for an action oriented game, and is forceful to say that it have any strategy.
Graphic is okay.
Gameplay is bad.
Story mediocre, but the voice acting is a good addition.
It looks like it would be cool, and for all I know has a rich story line - but I'll never know because the sluggish pace, unappealing graphics, and awful gameplay. Pass on this one, there are plenty of other Strategy RPGs out there that are way better than this.
It's a good game overall, though it's not my particularly favorite by any means. There's too much going on without much information given about each little thing. The battles, even when its 4v1, are very cluttered and messy. It's rather difficult to figure it out without being on pause. Though I probably won't play this game much anymore, I can't say that it's a bad game. If it's on sale for real cheap, buy it and give it a shot. Love it, hate it, up to you. Me? I don't like it.
What a shit storm this was, it was like the first 10 mins of every other squad rpg...over and over and over and over. The maps had bumpers to guide you to the fights, the maps were small and uninspired, if there was a story i couldnt tell or care because there was nothing to do with it other than waste your time running to the next uninstired battle. dull dull stupid and dull. dont waste your money.
I am only part way through this game at the moment. Having bought this title on the holiday sale 75% off for £3.74. Compared to its regular list price of £14.99.
Would I recommend this game, the answer would be no. There are better action rpg titles around for the same price. It does feel clunky at times. There are pathing issues. though I do like the visuals, the lore and some of the mechanics. That is why I picked up Aarklash: Legacy to give this series another chance.
If you have bought this title, and are having issues with reading the manual. For some reason, the manual is not accessible via the right hand menu in the library. So you will have to google steam powered + confrontation manual to get it.
There are no loot drops what so ever. You can only upgrade armor and weapons via weapon stands. Which are located sporadically around the various maps. Other upgrades include glyphs, which are obtained via plinths a giant magic rock.
Main Screen - On the campaign menu there is an Additional Content button, but when selecting it. There is nothing listed, and I cannot find anything regarding additional content.
The main menu is located right at the bottom of the screen. Where you can access options, switching profile and quiting the game. It looks out of place on the main screen, compared to the other buttons. Which have a UI element to them.
Gameplay
Naration - The naration feels like the old pen and paper DM, explaining things to you. Other than that it is uninspired.
User Interface - In game with the party interface it does look nice and clean. Though the minimap is rather lackluster, even worse when bringing up the full map. You cannot zoom into the map. Though it does leave white dots showing where you have been on the map. It does seem out of place compared to the rest of the UI.
Character Panels - Pressing I gives you the character panel, which shows you their attributes, skills, armor etc.. One gripe is it does not include all of the stats. Which are on a seperate panel pressing O. So you will not be able to see when increasing attributes what they are improving. The tooltips on attributes do specify what they improve. Also their class should be on the panel as well.
Skills and Armor - I would have liked a way to respec my characters, this feature is in Aarklash: Legacy. So I can make the party I want, with the builds I want.
Healing - Some characters have a heal over time. Others have an aoe heal. There is the option of using bandages to heal. But you can only use them on other characters, not on yourself. Frustration can set in when due to pathing you cannot reach the character you want to bandage.
Codex - Only accessible in the main menu, and not while you are playing the game. Also they have missed adding lore and character biographies to the character entries. Character entries only have a visual model of the character, plus a list of their abilities. In Aarklash: Legacy you are able to examine enemy units and their abilities.
Combat - Rushing blindly into rooms, will definitely get your party killed in this game. Some fights do take some strategy on what to focus on, what to crowd control. Line of sight, and pulling groups away from patrols. So you do not end up in some crazy cluster frak wipe, when a party member gets feared. Combat is mainly pausing, chaining some commands, such as move here, attack this, use this ability for each party member. Unpause then watch the fight unfold, pause and reissue commands when required.
Multiplayer - I have not tried multiplayer, but according to the forums and how this title was recieved. Do not expect any.
I do not know what the original price listing was for this title at launch. This title does feel unfinished, and would need more polish. Personally I would not have released this title as is. It should have undergone some closed or open beta testing. Taken onboard player feedback and improved this title immeasurably.
Anyone who has played this title and has not gone all angry german kid. Deserves medals and a parade, Personally I think it is worthy of a visit by an Enforcer droid and vaporized. Am I going to play the game to the end, yes I am. To see if anything can be redeemed before summary vaporizing.
Do not play this. Do not buy this. It is nothing anywhere close to the former glory that was the table top games.
The graphics would have been amazing 8 years ago, but cyanide studio has slacked off horribly with this game.
Combat is sluggish and there are multiple "Duh" moments. Like when a character will stop attacking in combat after they cast a spell and stand there while enemies kill them.
Movement pathing is also horribly bugged, characters will run in place, or in some cases simply run into another character or run circles around a enemy instead of actually attacking it.
Cyanide studious has done a horrible job in this game. Its even 5 months after release and there's no update or new patches.
They have soiled the memory of beautiful tabletop game with this sad pile of excrement that now takes up space on my hard drive.
Tough bugger of a game, at times, but surmounting that challenge is definately part of the enjoyment of the game.
This game is like Dawn of War II: Fantasy Edition, except without cooperative multiplayer, and with really bad controls. And setting. And hilariously bad voiceovers. Recommended to anyone who played Dawn of War II and enjoyed it, but wished it was lousier.
(Note: I haven't completed this game yet. And yes, the thumbs-up is intentional.)
