I just learned that #MimimiGames will be shutting down. Sad news! 😿 To me they were the most relevant #German #GameDev studio these days. They single-handedly revived and perfected the real time #stealth #tactics genre, which I believed long dead at that point. I so, so much hope some other studio(s) will pick up where they left – with #ShadowGambit they definitely went out with a bang!

What's black and white and red all over? Tankies on social media. Also, Othercide.

Othercide is a roguelike tactics strategy game with an extremely limited palette. The entire game is in black and white, with shades of red.

The game initially starts out in a instructional level set in a gothic-almost-Victorian-London-by-way-of-Lovecraft 1897 where you play as "Mother", the "protector of the veil" -a warrior with Barbie feet (more on that later)- in a tactics battle with a number of supernatural monsters.

Towards the end of the battle, Mother sacrifices herself, for reasons that are not entirely clear, other than to set up the rest of the game, but she appears to be trying to stop some greater supernatural evil, called "the other" and represented by "the child"; as the child is obviously not Grogu, I have the assumption that it may, in fact, be her child? In any case, kiddo is a bad seed, and he wants to destroy... everything. Destroying the city in the first battle wasn't quite enough.

Then Mother is... kind of... resurrected. Not exactly alive, but... alive-ish? She reforms among innumerable dead bodies piled everywhere, like a naked red Barbie with just as much physical definition, but alarmingly lifelike bare buttocks, and inexplicably, "Barbie" feet that are positioned as if our shoeless Mother is wearing high heels. It's definitely a choice.

From here, you find out that through Mother's sacrifice, you are now in some kind on aethereal interstitial plane where you can spawn "daughters", in one of three roles - ranged, melee, or tank.

The thing is, in the original version of the game, there was only "Nightmare" mode. There is no healing class, because there is no healing... except for sacrificing another daughter after the battle. The game has since introduced a second mode called "Dream", where as each day passes, each daughter regains 50% of her HP back.

Maybe I won't have to sacrifice any daughters. Based on what the game told me, though, that's unlikely. It tells you upfront that dying is part of the game, and you should expect to die. A lot.

Red-Barbie-Mother aside, it's quite an interesting game. It doesn't grab me quite as much as some of the other tactics-style games I've played this year, but I can definitely see myself spending some more time with the game when I'm in the mood for something dark and angry.

Othercide is pretty:

4: Good

Cross Tails - Review written by Ben Love

https://www.rpgfan.com/review/cross-tails

"While the clash between fangs and claws fails to deliver an engaging narrative, the core gameplay and progression systems remain satisfying enough to make this furry journey of war and conflict worth seeing through to its conclusion."

4 hours into #trianglestrategy, and have only had 3 fights.

It picks up the pace, right?

I actually don’t mind the political intrigue that is going on, but it’s just so slow and I feel like I’m not getting a feel for the tactics because its so long between fights.

Thinking again about the problem of „3 second user-onboarding“ into a game-session. Or how to engage in a very short time.

My thought went to one-to-one session games. Or event team games, where the first move (or game-desicion) sets the tone for the complete game-session. Like deploy a tactic, that follows a strategy. Or by surprise or confuse the opponent.

Люблю такое когда заранее распланируешь тактику, а потом даже если остался один, она отрабатывает на все 100% и приводит к победе.

Для тех, кто не в теме R6: Siege, штучки, которые вешаются на стену и активируются и выключаются телефончиком - ловушки, которые дезориентируют противника. Их нельзя включать все и если они включены, то их легко уничтожить. Поэтому и нужно так постоянно их туда-сюда переключаться чтобы в момент их включения внимание противника было направлено в другое место.

#Konfus says, always consider #Strategy, #Tactics, #OperativeBasis separately. Ignore the interplay and interrelationships. Avoid #feedback loops between the "levels". Then you have created good conditions for very, very much #waste. #Effectiveness

Feels like Hotline Miami, plays like a fast card game on crack.

Rungore is a sidescrolling realtime tactics cardbattler. Choose your class and run for it. Drop card after card, until the enemy is down. The music and the dark meta humor adds to it.

very addicitve

"For months at home, in the lead-up to this Ashes series, the Australian team’s thinkers worked methodically through how to counter England’s Bazball.

Partly, this was because they knew that England would not be changing or moderating their audacious approach, for to do so would contradict the Test team’s mantra under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. This was the team that had seized the narrative, the team that had made Test cricket thrilling again, and they weren’t about to back down.

But Australia’s planning was also governed by the expectation that the pitches prepared for the series would be favourable for batting, lacking most if not all the sideways movement traditionally on offer for bowlers in England and used with great effect by Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in 2019." #cricket #sport #Ashes #AUSvENG #ENGvAUS #Australia #tactics #Bazball #England

Total RePlays: 3

Game: Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Nov 16, 2018
Library Date: Sep 7, 2019
Playtime: 55m

I tried Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus at some stage last year, and I hated it; so much so, that it did what I do with any of the games that I "nope" out of: leave them running until I've got all the card drops, sell the cards on the marketplace, then uninstall it, and hide it from my library.

I reinstalled it today to see if maybe it made sense to me now, and it absolutely does.

While it's not as pretty as Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, it does make sense to me now, but it's just not quite as engaging as CGD.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is:

3: OK
