Bare bones with potential.
I can simply my feeling with the phrase "The game is not complex. Much to its detriment." In a sense the original falconeer felt like a much more ambitious project compared to this one, who feels like a very good tech demo. A potential basic structure to a more complex game, I like the vistas, I like audio, I even like the dialogue, and how that changes based on your faction's internal power, with some factions or individuals within a faction, refusing to work if a certein civilisation is the dominent one. Yet I am not satisfied with the basic level of progression and building. Building is automatic, you just need to place something on shallow water or on a cliff. Progression too is automatic, at first I felt I would've had to explore around to find NPCs for your faction, but in reality they just show up when you have enough influence of a specific faction. There are some "businesses" that supposedly show up but the game doesn't tell you what they do. And some rare buildings to place. This can be good as each general or trader can have it's own personality, but you won't see much of it, same for the story which seems to pick up 30 years after The Falconeer, the big story event potential happens at the end of the progression with you unlocking a faction wonder, from there it's effectively GG. I don't dislike it, not at all, but I want more. I want to be able to walk on the side of my airship and fire it's cannons like in Guns of Icarus, I want to que the creation of as many airships, gunships or falconeers as my resources permit, stuff that you'd find in a Real time RTS. And with that I want the other settelments to be able to threaten me with the same capabilities., to have trade routs and actively expand. If you can't abide that feeling of being on the cusp of something better, I would suggest getting it on a sale. If you just want pretty vistas, somewhat clucky automated bulwark building with a light dose of RTS and City Builder, then yea get it.
Hilft dir das weiter?
