Bought the game. Beat the game through 1.5 playthroughs. Loved it, but the genre as a whole is tenuous for me.
It is definitely an interesting and DEEP game with a lot of replayability. It will take multiple playthroughs to see everything and even a couple more to see divergent paths. The core gameplay loop and various systems are pretty solid and for completionist, there are many hidden things that will take a LONG time to even present themselves.
If you want a mount and blade style game, set in a medium fantasy world based on Eastern mythology? Definitely a buy, but keep in mind if you dont like M&B or care about strategy simulation games you will NOT find the rpg elements compelling enough to replay it again.
I don't know if u played it or not, but you should definitely check out The Banner Saga
I definitely second this. Banner Saga was a great series of games
Surprisingly they managed to make all 3 games really solid, with some quality endings.
Absolutely should! Loved that series.
So... this is Mount and Blade with ARPG combat instead of first person combat? Sounds good.
Hah. I want an aRPG with Mount & Blade combat!
Well, that's it. The mechanics similar to M&B aren't as fleshed out imho but for that price it's well worth the money and it has its own interesting systems. Both are different enough that you can jump to the other whenever you get tired of one. There aren't that many sandbox strategy RPGs but the most successful ones (M&B, Kenshi, SoS) are different enough to propose similar yet very unique experiences :)
@@Biouke what is SoS?
@@kurrwa Sands of Salzaar
i got the game in ea and it changed a lot for the better since then. i would describe it as "bannerlord meets dynasty warriors in an oriental fantasy setting" which is in fact i wished for as a game (bannerlord with a more fantasy setting and a one-man-army type of gameplay or dw being more strategic and focusing more on developing your faction)
As i told you on your old salazar vid, cant wait for the review!🥳 good show sir!
Really looking forward to the full review. I'm really glad how much the game has improved from early access-- but I've seen some people say it falls off later in the game.
Love the work. Keep it up. It really feels that you enjoy what you are doing.
The game is very interesting, I beat the campaign and generally enjoyed it. I do think the combat has issues in that it sort of wants to play as an ARPG (when fighting in dungeons and you don't have your army to help you) but you don't really have the mobility and abilities tend to be on long cooldowns, so fighting bosses solo can be pretty difficult. That said, as an isometric mount and blade game it works pretty decently.
my friend bought this for me as a joke this last christmas, it seemed interesting but the poor translation / janky feel made me drop it after only 2-3 hours. figured i'd pick it up again. glad to see you covering this!
I think I've heard of this, but the translation wasn't finished at the time or something. Looks interesting. Looking forward to your 100% review.
thanks for your impression. I pick this up a while ago but never really got to play with it. Now i'm definitely going to try it out.
Sands of Salzaar was in my wishlist for ages, I haven't bought it only because it was really buggy at the time. Glad to see you'll review it.
This was super intriguing. Really not many great series on RUclips about this game. You could be one of the first to really dive in and cover, if you were ever open to recording a series.
Thanks for the review! I got swamped by bugs when the game released but kept track on their updates over steam, they seem to be doing a good job so we can look forward to how this game develops
Hope you get a chance to play Kenshi. Its more sandbox but the RPG elements is better than almost everything. Some of the systems here reminds me of Kenshi, thats why I brought it up.
I often get bored in games but somehow Kenshi has made me be in its world for more then 500 hours. Such a strange but enjoyable struggle. And beep.
I played about 30 hours of this, 15 in EA and 15 after release. In my opinion it has no system deep enough to warrant keeping playing for long and the overall story is not worth it either.
I actually forgot about this game after your initial "take a look" series. I think I'll pick it up now that its out of "early access".
This was one I was unsure of and was glad to see your review.
ohhhh you gonna review this ?? that great !! I really love the game and it hit different if you complete it 100%
Great video. Really enjoying the content. Keep it up!
Looks really good but I wish combat was turn based or at least turn based option
Seeing your reaction to this, now I DEFINITELY think you should look at Battle Brothers. But I'm going over to Steam to give this a Follow, at least.
Thanks for the impressions, always looking forward to your opinion on games.
You should give a shot to Troubleshooters, its one of me the deeper TTRPG available IMHO.
Thank you for this review,
I tried Sand's while it was still in early access and I couldn't keep up my interest although it seemed super cool and very mount and bladey.
The review really makes me want to try it again.
Really enjoying your content. Thanks for you time.
3:54 .... lol that map
It sort of reminds me of Kenshi.
Off-topic, but what are your thoughts on the Might and Magic RPGs?
You should try Gordian quest next, it grid base 3 party rpg card game
This game looks awesome!
imo you should try Triangle Strategy.
Oh, no. They definitely need to change the in-game font.
I know that when you say 100% that doesn't always mean you get 100% of the achievements but I still occasion like to imagine that you are doing that and hit a glitches achievement and pull your hair out in stress because you started something you can't finish. I say this not out of malice but because you remind me of a guy who I went to school with who did exactly that once.
Oh it comes up, I dont sweat it that much, I just label them review instead of 'review after 100%' Pillars of eternitys kickstarter achievement being the most obvious one
My major problem with this game is that I just don't think the combat is very fun. And if I don't enjoy the combat, I'm better off playing games like this that have combat systems that I DO enjoy, like Battle Brothers, Mount & Blade or even Wartales.
Those titles were exactly what came to mind as I watched the review.
free comment has arrived.
I tried it for about 2 or 3 hours and I got really bored I probably just don't know what to do....
Well yet another game I've had to buy because of you. Gee thanks. Lol.
Wow. Looks cool. But I'll wait your 100% review before buying it
Do you like Master Yi? Then you will love this game.
Plz check out Crpg; Sunless sea and Sunless sky.
the game is cool but the hard level cap of 20 is stifling
I REALLY liked about 90% of this game...but the combat AI was atrocious. Threw me off so much I decided I wasn't interested in it.
The combat looks just a chaotic mess. I'd rather wait for Wartales. Have you checked out Battle Brothers?
Battle Brothers 100% when ?
Sadly I cannot support (PRC) Chinese developers and publishers :( Hopefully there is regime change someday soon. Looks like an interesting game!
This is a janky mount and blade with arpg combat and some surprisingly deep systems.
The dev very obviously loves his game but i feel like he is a little bit in over his head making it :P
If you like games similar to mount and blade, get this. If not maybe dont.
didnt feel polished, a bit soulless, sucks because the idea is good
$15 is honestly a really good price for this game
