I would say the developer Lightweight with Bushido Blade. Everything they made after the first Bushido Blade was either mid (Bushido Blade 2 failed to live up to the promise of the original but was decent) or straight up terrible (everything after Bushido Blade 2). They are a fascinating developer because the first Bushido Blade was very ahead of it’s time and represented a revolution in fighting game design that never ended up taking hold…a lost future if you will, as Mark Fisher would say. I would’ve loved to live in an alternate timeline where Bushido Blade was massively influential and changed the nature of fighting games as we know it, but sadly it did not come to pass. I see a game like Bushido Blade as a kind of “lost future” of fighting game design, in that if it had blown up and become super popular we might’ve seen fighting games do away with traditional things like health bars & supers altogether, focusing more on tense, short, …
So we just had another Steam Next Fest, with a lot of new demos. I wasn’t able to try many of them, and even now I’m only hearing about a couple of interesting ones from podcasts talking about them after they’ve gone.
I feel like devs who’ve created demos should leave them up for curious players to continue to DL and try.
I can think of a few reasons why they might not want to, but giving potential buyers a chance to check out a small portion of their game seems like the better option.
Thoughts?
I grew up playing Warcraft 2 and Age of Empires 1, later Starcraft 1 and eventually Warcraft 3.
I miss base building RTS games dearly and i am super sad that we are not getting any modern ones.
Has any base building RTS game announced lately?
Is the potential playerbase really so small for these types of games that devs and publishers dont feel like investing into them?
I’m not affiliated with the dev in any way, so don’t accuse me of it. Seems like anytime you like something in this subreddit someone assumes you’re being paid. Gamers and cynicism, name a more iconic duo.
I think I’m about 3⁄4 of the way through the game. The writing impresses me. It’s got a vibe of At the Mountains of Madness crossed with a gold box era RPG.
I don’t love the art, I wish it was 16-bit era instead of 8-bit era. But I think the gameplay and game systems and writing are solid.
I don’t know if it’s on sale in the summer sale but it probably is. I think I paid about 15 bucks for it. Well worth it.
Hello all,
Recently I’ve been into building/survival games like The Forest, Conan Exiles, Valheim, Palworld, etc. I thought Enshrouded looked really cool as I love fantasy settings, but I’m a bit apprehensive at buying early access games.
Is it mostly complete? Is it in a good state now, or should I wait? It’s on sale for steam summer sale so I was thinking of getting it.
Thanks
