My First Impressions

Post by Bntyhntr98 »

I played through the first few missions , have to say I like the over all presentation, the movment was easy to understand and get the hang of , learning what units to use against what, range , what was need to counter said range and so on. Typical Hex strategy, and Panzer Corps style game play, the other thing I love is the buying of units the amount and different types of units was great. I didn't think this much stuff would be in the game I was realy surprised and found little to be upset about, over all id say great build so far and cant wait for the polished product.

Where I found something I was missing , im not saying there messed up but something I missed , and maybe this is from my years and playing FINAL LIBERATION and wanting the same style game play , but I found a few things that I wanted realy bad and didn't see:

1. The Gun sounds were great for each of the attacking units , but where I think it might add to the fun is some explosion of the unit you destroy and a graphic or sound to make it seem like some distruction is happening.

2. A Direction option when you end a move , the ability to have your unit face a certain way , like in FInal Liberation they gave you the ability to choose the facing of your unit at the end of its movement.

3. A end turn button it took me about 5 minitues the first map I played , to find the way to end the turn, I didn't realize till I randomly just clicked on it trying to find out to move on to next turn.

4. I know this is another pull from Final Liberation but the briefings would be cool if they had voices, and maybe even a movie , or some animated cartoon, I mean my fondest memory was that movie where Commisar hold walks up holding a pistol puts it in the regents face and when he says hes taking control of his forces cause the commander wasn't using his troops to help the war he says the best line ever " CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS CARFULLY!!" and the guy says he will give control to commissar holt. It was classic warhammer and how things work, just would like to see that kinda lively ness from this game.

5. Last thing I would suggest, and this is just cause im used to doing it and a personal thing , the ability to use the UP , DOWN, LEFT , RIGHT , arrow keys to move around the map instead of the mouse side scroll.


These suggestions are not ment to degrade what was done just small things I wanted when I was playing , that would add to the enjoyment of the game, but whats been done so far is excellent , and im sure the team has a lot pland, as this is second build so keep up the good work and thanks for inviting me to the beta .

Thanks for your feedback!

We will update the sound effects soon, actually.

If I remember correctly, direction/facing of the units is not a major thing in this game so having to manually set it would just introduce too much micromanagement.

We have limited resources for voice overs, but some is coming. :)

Thanks again for the feedback. The devs are pretty busy working on the game, but rest assured that everything you guys post here is read and made note of, even if there is no reply.

Im actualy interested in the modding options too, being able to create things, and make other units. Id love to have the ability to add classic units and things that are not planed for the game presently. Im a big fan of Chaffers Last Chancers and Ghuants Ghosts , stuff like that , adding them in the game would be awesome and great to see . Not sure what well be able to change but those are two of the things id like to try to make or add into the game. Titans are awesome but with Warhammer 40k being as expansive as it is , there is so much to play with and so much Fluff that can be added to enhance simple things :).
