Attrition: Tactical Fronts

Attrition: TF - A strategic (tiny) perl in the haystack. Got this game in a strategic bundle. The name offers no attraction, but after first start it shows a great tutorial to introduce the game mechanics of a well designed turn-based strategy war game. Some early scenarios offer given units for your army, later on you are requested to choose best setup. The units seem to be 1900 brought from WW I, anyhow they do not show up from specific nations. Just different soldiers, self-propelled guns, anti-tank guns, and different tanks up to heavy tank. It's like rock-paper-scissors, as the enemy get the same units. Due to fog of war, you are never sure, which combination your enemy has choosen, instead you know the numbers. Terrain and maps are well designed, so all units can find best position to fight. Informations about pros/cons are quite nice offered, so it reminds a little bit on panzer general or extended chess table. So far I didn't recognize any research, but that's not really needed for the very well designed campain. They offer multiplayer too, but not tested yet. Singleplayer seems a good practice though. Workshop support included, but only new maps found so far. I wouldn't spend too much money on this game as it is quite simple, but catch it in a bundle or on sale and you get that one-more-turn feeling with quite interesting in-depth strategy game. Update: after ~3 hours the campain is done, only challange left is multiplayer, still thumbs up for the fun, but thought it offers some more

Meh. Works well. I just don't think it is such a big deal as others are saying it is in their evaluations. It failed to get me into it. Get it on the cheap if you're unsure. Might not be worth the full sale price unless you really like all these tactical hex games so much you can't miss one.

Este juego está bien para jugar alguna partida rápida pero aburre rápidamente al cabo de varios combates. Tienes unas unidades de la primera guerra mundial con valores estáticos que no se pueden mejorar, por lo menos en las primeras horas de juego, y los enfrentamientos consisten en eliminar un cierto número de unidades enemigas simplemente y no conquistar una ciudad, una colina o cualquier posición. Lo único que hay que hacer es posicionar bien las tropas en lugares resguardados, poner detrás artillería y dedicarte a machacar al enemigo cuando se va acercando. Yo que no soy demasiado bueno precisamente en este tipo de juegos, gané todas las escaramuzas que hice en 3 horas de juego. Por 14,99€ me parece una broma pesada este juego. Menos mal que me vino en un bundle. Nada recomendado a este precio.

A pleasant surprise.

Solid little tactics game

Ho recensito il gioco qui più accuratamente qui: https://www.nerdream.it/2018/03/10/attrition-tactical-fronts-recensione-pc/ Attrition è uno strategico militare che, per le basi che presenta, ha tutto il diritto di entrare nel mondo degli strategici a turni che contano (se sviluppato bene, può anche raggiungere giochi come Civilization o Europa Universalis). PRO: - Grafica piacevole e audio azzeccato (anche se ripetitivo) - Idee innovative nelle statistiche, nelle truppe e nel territorio - Gioco incredibilmente versatile che, grazie alle proprie feature, è limitato alla sola fantasia del giocatore - Tutorial molto esplicativo e semplice CONTRO: - I.A. pessima - Sistema di livelli inutile - Campagna finalizzata al multiplayer e assenza di un filone storico

Petite précision avant tout, j'ai obtenu ce jeu via un revendeur de clés pour moins de 80 centimes, et c'est à peu près ce que vaut ce jeu. Plus, ce serait du vol manifeste. Le jeu porte bien son nom, un principe de pure attrition, le dernier survivant gagne la partie, le tout sur de petites cartes. La mécanique est donc assez limitée : on avance, on découvre, on tire, et l'ennemi riposte, voilà ! Jeu en Fr, mais traduction franchement risible. Le seul point intéressant du jeu (à mon sens) réside dans le choix et graphisme des unités de type 1ère GM. Je n'ai pas essayé le multi, mais je doute qu'il y ait forcément grand monde ... Je ne peux en toute conscience recommander le jeu, en tous cas pas au prix affiché sur steam
