ANIWARS: Call of the Void

I like the concept, the art style, the ideas. HOWEVER, the execution, especially when it comes to balancing, is a pain in the a**. There are units that are too good (breachers), and others are too garbage (rockets); plus the constant scaling of the enemy factions versus whatever trash item you can mob up makes it less of a learning curve but a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 90 degrees cliff with blades sticking out of it after the second map is cleared. The maps themselves are problematic, what is the point of having a faction that rely on constantly moving around when 3/4 of the maps are chokepoints; and the AI will one hundred percent having control of said chokepoints before you can? I really love the game, and I know it is still in Early Access, so I have high hope that the bouncing issue that is balancing can be adjusted accordingly.

The art is fantastic. The game is challenging and it doesn't hold your hand all that much. Can't wait for the finished product.

Обнова превратила игру в неиграбельное говно, норм новый перс абилкой пронзающий двух персов на миллион хп и ещё по 10 хп за клетку передвижения))) Медик урона вносит больше и танчит лучше мотоцикла)))

Крутая игра на компьютер. Играйте.

TL;DR: GOTY. The game hooked me in with the art, but I stayed for the gameplay. The art is fantastic, don't get me wrong: every character, every item are made really well, and are delightful in different ways, though Rocket and Big Kitty will always be my favorites. The gameplay is what makes it the best game ever, though, as it is always challenging, and took me quite some time to stop losing again, and again, and again. I cleared a few fights here and there, gathered some items, but still lost against the boss in the end of the runs again, and again, and again. Every run has been lots of fun, I was losing because I was making mistakes and misjudging situations, and it was up to me to fix it. 36 hours in, I have a few builds I like to run for my units, a few presets I favor, some items and general strategies I like, and nowadays I do not struggle as much, finishing more runs than I fail, though I still have trouble with keeping my squishies alive, and the amount of yeet's I've experienced is illegal. The random element makes runs unique, as surely it's best if I get the BiS for my Akimbo, but what if I don't? Shifting compositions around unit items and commander items is rewarding, though sometimes it drives me insane to get the bad RNG. Game's not perfect. It's not finished (it is in early access for a reason): there are still commanders to be released, higher difficulty setting, more things to do. There are mechanical inconsistensies like Merc Hood's effect doesn't stack unlike pretty much every other item in the game, or that Akimbo's Bunny Hop doesn't get counted as tiles traveled, but those tiny issues are so minor in comparison to how fun and enjoyable everything in this game is, how infuratingly simple and silly some of the battles are, and I can't wait to see what updates devs will put out. There is lore, there are stories, there are quirks to commanders, but I can't say much about that, besides that Nova is my favorite commander, and Hydra is my most successful one. I struggle the most with Blitz, though I don't think she's as weak as I initially thought. There are challenges that unlock gear for future runs, and some of those challenges are either difficult to accomplish, or you need to be clairvoyant, as they are secret (I'm sure there's a guide already somewhere), and I got all but one of them on my own by just playing and not paying that much attention. I wish there was more content: more arenas to fight in, more bioms, more synergies and more events, but the game does get updates, and I'm happy to wait.
