Anyone plaything the beta here?

While I found the prize a bit steep (without having tried it) - I haven't had this much fun since super mario land --- or perhaps Incubation would be a better comparison ...:tup::tup::tup:

This looks pretty awesome, although I'm not sure about the graphics. How much is it?

I'd say it's worth it, if graphics don't bother you, or you can learn to like them. It's a fairly complex and enjoyable randomly generated squad-based tactical strategy turn-based game. (X-Com, UFO, Jagged Alliance) Hooray, mouthfulls.

It actually reminds me more of Rainbow Six.

Wow! Super Mario Land was a long time ago. Did you play it when it came out? Because if so, that's really saying something.

Yeah I say its worth it. And yes I got super mario land when it got out - or as close as not to matter ... 1988 1989? when did it come out anyhow? (too lazy to wikipee it)

Well FS is very fun - and one of very very few online competition games I actually enjoy ... the feeling when you first win a match is really really worth it ...

The control scheme is exactly Rainbow Six.

I compared more to those because of top-down/isometric turn-based control a squad of dudes gameplay.

It's probably a bit complicated for the likes of me, but it seems like something I'll end up buying regardless, because even if I don't play it much, I'll be glad to support the developers. I just spent $130 on games today though, so I don't think I'll commit just this second.

This reminds me somehow so much about Laser Squad and that is an extremely good thing.

Anyone playing in there can throw me a challenge, my nick is Abekonge ...

After the first 5-6 games that I lost totally I began to win -- maybe seven games in a row. Then I found out that you can "prototype" the enemy's movements in the planning phase which gives you a lot of possibilities for visualizing the weak points of your plans -- and then I started loosing again - I probably need to rethink my initial strategy and get my men to work more together ....

Is anyone still playing this? I just heard about it on a slightly older episode of the PC Gamer Podcast and watched the Quick Look. I'm kind of intrigued but as mentioned the price is a tad steep without having a confirmed second person.

If anyone is still playing it, would you recommend it at this point?

I'll even shoot you in the pixelface, if you get it.

Still sort of keeping an eye on this. Still really don't have any money. Still curious as to whether anyone is playing it after a decent length of time?

Working my way through single-player currently. Interesting bit of sci-fi. Not quite 'hard', but intriguing. Still really enjoy the game, even if I'm too quick at judging situations and typically lose.

as an old-school rainbow 6 fan, this game is a dream come true.

my only minor disappointment is that the skirmish editor is a little bare-bones. i'd like to see a "scenario creator." where maybe you could set up your own escort mission or defense mission or whatever. a lot of those are available in the campaign and you can randomize them but being able to make them from scratch would be awesome.

Commonly referred to as the tilde key. :fart:

Not always. with the disparity between keyboard layouts in the world:

i just copy pasted that from the Steam forums so don't get pissy with me :fart:

map creation itself is crazy easy and fun but actually creating scenarios is a little puzzling. i hope they (or someone) makes a slightly more friendly editor. in theory they'd only have to mess with the UI to make it less complicated

i wouldn't mind being able to import those maps into skirmish, unless there already is a way and i'm dumb/blind
