Part of the problem with machinegun emplacements is that the game seems to treat it like an enclosed vehicle meaning you cant try to snipe the operator or stab him with a bayonet. And when you are given the opportunity to commandeer one you might notice there is no way to tell it to hold fire.
One that mission that introduces howitzers try to do a stealth kill. You would expect your guy to backstab one of the two operators but instead the knife stab causes the entire howitzer to explode
Yep I hate that as well.
With the howitzer, I understand the pain, but with the machine gun placement, you can put your guy on silent mode, and that essentially gives the effect of holding fire
The machinegun emplacements have no silent mode button @@demetrioaguilar7434
@@demetrioaguilar7434does the soldier really have to disable the machine gun when they stab the operator?
I finished the game last week, and my recommendation is:
Play it first time with savescumming, as you grab the mechanics, gameplay, economy, etc
And for second time, try it on Hardcore - no saving - death means death, lets move on - the game is not lost if you have more then 6 soldiers in your squad, so it could be interesting challenge :)
I intend to do it next week or so :)
Btw i never experienced any bug you mentioned here, dunno why.
Greetings from Czechia
Yeah, I usually like doing my first playthroughs with save scumming just so I can experience the "good ending" and just enjoy the story and have a good time (maybe get some extra achievements but that's not really the focus). After that when things are more clear is when I kick it up a notch and start being more "hardcore" about it. Although, when things end up happening because the game itself derps out on you, I have no qualms about reloading a save.
Lethality is very present however if you are using your scouts binoculars for recon blind corners aren’t blind
4-5 scouts every mission i play, finish most missions without losing a single hp.
Long story made short The Czechs were originally being moved to face a possibly invasion by Japan, war ends Russia falls into disarray and there was a MASAIVE 30k troops I believe inside of russias borders and nowhere to go, all they wanted was to go home home they were forced to give up their weapons before boarding the train and I can’t remember off the top of my head rn why they went East instead of the much shorter west i do know it wasn’t up to the Czechs, any of it. Look it up it’s EXTREMELY interesting I didn’t even know about these events until recently (past couple years) and I’m a historian so don’t be too rough on yourself. Very good video! Thank you for the review good sir! 🇺🇸💪🏼🇦🇺
They went east because in the west the war was still raging and german submarines were sinking all vessels, even those belonging to the red cross.
Edit: I should also mention that there were actually 70k czechoslovak legionaries, there were 30k in the beginning but more joined as the war went on.
You are a fantastic reviewer and i hope your channel blows up as the quality of your work deserves more attention. Keep it up dude
for someone who doesn't like doing reviews, that was a shit hot review bud, good balance of praise and criticism and not afraid to say were the game fails and succeeds, nice time length too makes it easier to stay interested in what's being said. 5 *'s
You provided some really interesting insight on how people actually interact and play with games and how that affects game design. Very thoughtful!
totally agree with your take on the total war games.
Solid review. Thank you!
Instant sub, man, first video I've seen of yours and forget about it. You're amazing.
Agreed. I subbed too. Great to hear an Aussie voice on RUclips :)
That is a pretty interesting take on total war, I've never considered it in that light before. I mostly disagree, i feel that the rts battles and turn based campaign blend together wonderfully. Still i can certainly see where ur coming from. Its an interesting critique for sure. And as a total war player since medieval 1 this critique absolutely applies to some total wars more than others. Like the warhammer series with some of the best battles in strategy game history but a really lackluster simple campaign map, IMO at least 🤷♂️
$5 per hour of gameplay is extornionate for a rule of thumb. Not sure on the conversion rate but around £1 per hour is the absolute maximum I would pay.
Thankfully this game is £20 here and most reviews give it 30-40 hours, which is very reasonable.
Cool! Thanks for sharing your experiences. The game looks great! It reminds me of X-com and Silent Storm especially, which i just started playing again and it's one of my favorite games. Much more smaller in scale, but i get the same wibes. One thing that bugs me in Silent Storm is the same point you mentioned here; certain cheesy deaths. I'd love to play it on Ironman, but many of the cheesy deaths just don't make it feasable. So, i resort to save scumming. It's great for the most part and the AI is rather active, but sometimes there's just a dude (or bunch) sitting in a room, just waiting for me to enter it and get killed. It's scripted, and it's bad. I understand that it's a different era of gaming, but it's a bit cheese since the AI in general is reactionary and gives a good challenge. But perhaps, that's my only true con about it. Silent Storm: Sentinels the addon makes the game even better, and it has an Ironman mode (if i remember right). It's been such a long time since i've played Sentinels, but next time i'll go for the Ironman mode. Perhaps, in the addon the scripted dudes are more absent.
The Rain Formerly Known as Purple, what a tune
I think it is a great game but the bugs definitely hurt it. I experienced the greyed out soldier bug in chapter 2 on my first run. I decided to restart and my game quite literally broke 40 hours into my second run and I had to restart again. If I didn’t enjoy the game as much as I do that would have been it for me
very tempted by this game, love the mechanics. will give the demo a go and make a decision... $60 is a lot for something that may be buggy
It's only 40 though. And it's on sale rn for 33
@@knightguard1724where is the sale?

1st just for history lesson (I totally understand you do not have the information, so no offense ment. Just for info) Czech state was there from 9th century. Just after the loss of battle on the white mountain (location name - part if the capital city these days) in year 1620, the state was occupied by Austria and Hungary. After great war the country grabbed its autonomy again.
Now for disparity of those two modes.I would say its in your head. May consider it holy grail. As all the decisions are transferred between two modes. That is actualy what makes games like total war or LTH special.
But its nice to see a different view on the game.
Hey bro, I liked your take on reviews. I'm curious about this game seems like the type of thing I could enjoy but I was equal parts drawn to the management and the rts tactics. I'll prob wait till it gets cheaper before I check it out. Thanks for the review. Liked and subbed.
Yeah, I agree with you about those bugs. For me this game is a mix between This of Mine and Banner Saga, so losing a named character to a bug seems so unfair, just ragequit unfair.
Well if you don't like the resource management stuff you can allways set difficoulty of that down.
What i disliked is heavy weapons. Their helth system is not great.
Bugs will hopefully be fixed and something like ironmode added.
For the Total War games... Rome and Medieval II had much better synergy. They just kind of lost the plot when they switched to a new engine.
I will check this game out based on your rec, but I can't agree with total war opinion. The amount of grand strat games that have mod projects for RTS battles 'Just like total war' shows that the combo really does work. I believe in CK3 they've even managed this by cannibalising total war Attila. The reason is that it gives the player that micro manager control they desire, your 1500 crash into the enemy 2000 and lose, but you have the hills and you have some elite troops, you reckon you could've had that, but the game doesn't allow it.... except in total war.
There are bugs in a game that can cause reloading like enemies downing you units after they enter a vehicle or emplacement
started this game today played 5 hour non stop has not happened since i was 12 this is how metro exodus should have been amazing
is that risk of rain music in the background? 👀
Thanks for the Review. I'm sure those bugs will be ironed out with a patch or 2. Cus Bugs like that in a game like THIS are UNACCEPTABLE!
Nice review. I’m really loving this game so far. Hopefully those bugs get worked out.
Too give a idea a real Czech legion uniform is worth allot of money I want to say 100s thousands but I have not heard any figures for some time.
Yes the Entente put Poland and Czechoslovakia back on the map as countries.
"Russia... or whatever it was called at the time"
You mean... Russia? 😏
Solid discussion about the game.
cant yo udivide your troops into two?
What happens to your characters if they get killed? Do they show up in the train after or do they die die?
Not only do they die but it hurts your entire army's morale. But you generally get a chance to revive downed soldiers
@@alecciarosewater7438 thank you that's how I wanted it to be
Thei name is in diary in scetion about fallen man
I'm a euro per hour of gameplay guy for the amount of money I spend on a game. Ironically the game I have 4700 hours on is dota, which is free.
I dont agree about Total War, I enjoy that series because of the way thr two parts work together. I dont care to have one without the other
Save scum?
I pefer the grand stratagy part, but it looks super weak compare to say XCOM
You made me download risk of rain 2 again.
You aren't being forced to F5😂
Save scumming to not lose any soldiers literally defeat the purpose of the game, these idiots or casuals could simply play something else.
Thank you for the review, decided not to buy it.
Remember, if russians say something about russophobia, then it is worth your money.
Game is pretty good but the cover system is rubbish.
Actually I disagree. That system is great. You will survive almost anything in high cover and even in low cover you have a lot of time to call reinforcements. Save your troops. Everything you need to navigate battlefield.
" History " part of this game is full or Russophobic narative, other then that game is fine as it is.
That's a perk in my book
Being against commies isn't russophobic.
@@poopsmith6853it’s not even about commies, they praise communism at times. The point is that they portray pretty much every single Russian in the game as a scumbag.
@@Spinomaks you mean the poor old grandma whose family got murdered?
