fschuit First Impression
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 9:46 pm
Hi,
Great to beta-test this game, great PG (1 and 2 and 3) lover.
I read there was a version before this one, remember this is my first time I see it.
Here my impression:
- Moving works weird for me. I'm constantly left-clicking and so cancel the unit. Right clicking for movement is unexpected.
- The colour is a bit faded
- I seem to scroll and zoom in and out, quite a lot. Not really knowing what the resolution in game is, some units make it look low, but some buttons make it look max (1280 x 1024 for me).
- When starting the game and in Game Options, Play is on the left, Cancel on the right, please switch them.
- Briefing: I'm missing the German voice
- Damage: -3, who got hurt? (white them, red ours)
- When a unit is killed (-2 when it was 2), it still fights back
- Is there an over-run?
- The picture of some untis for instance the 20 mm flak are a bit difficult to see
- Nice music
- Nice Sounds (Stuka)
- Small icons when buying or to go to the Buy screen, also for next and previous unit
- Text in Purchase screen (Prestige and Core Slots) is small
- How to see which units are your core units?
- How to see (not hoovering over the Purchase Button) how many Core Units I can buy. Put it on screen.
- Please auto-add info when saving: for instance, scenario and date and time when saving.
- When I got to the 2nd scenario and I wanted to upgrade my units, I did not found an easy way to upgrade them. I had to select them individually and upgrade (after I had placed them so had to recall them, upgrade them and place them again. Can you make an upgrade screen in which I can upgrade all my units in a convenient way (they may be placed, no need to recall them)?
- After deploying, must I choose the button End Turn? It's a bit confusing. Maybe say: End of Deployment.
- How to see the range of a anti-air quickly? It's not in the information screen at the right. In PG I could (right?)click the enemy to see it.
- In PG it was more visible which cities you had to conquer and which ones were nice to capture (for xp)
1 min: hmm colours are a bit faded
2 min: hmm movement is working strange
10 min: I'm getting the hang of it (but still strange movement)
20 min: besides the right-click, getting the PG feeling
after that rushing to the end of the scenario
The Norway Scenario is difficult at first, to keep the Navy alive So must take some time.
Hope you can do something with these remarks.
Edit: forgot 1 thing.
When upgrading a unit, the upgrade screen gives my the information about what stat is better, all the times I used it I had to take a 2nd (or 3rd) look to see if my new unit is better or my old unit. It's not completely clear. The option is very usefull, but not as clear as I would like it to be.
