My thoughts after one complete game
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2015 5:40 pm
I just finished my first game, regular difficulty, and won decisively. Some of my thoughts:
Pros
- I like the achievement/medal system, adds some replay value and encourages different play styles
- Simplicity, I didn't have to read a 300+ page manual to figure out what to do and how to do it
- Unique, I don't know of another game like this, much less a Vietnam War game
- Cheap, I wasn't going to buy this game until it went on sale (I figured it'd be $40 like other matrix/slitherine games), but $10!?!
Cons
- No MP, I don't really care too much about it but I know some do
- Only random maps, maybe have some predesigned ones along with a random map generator (NVA invasion route should still be kept random)
- Can't play as NVA/VC, I imagine US AI would be hard to program and make it a competent opponent though
Future Content
- I saw the developer float the idea of the Mekong Delta, that would be great. I'd say a Vietnamization DLC or update would be good too; a weak ARVN with US support units facing off against an increasingly more powerful enemy.
