Ratropolis

Don't let the cute art style fool you, this is one of the most stressful and chaotic card battlers I've ever played. At first it looks like it's going to be a game about strategically playing the right card at the right time, but by the end it's all about trying to use your cards as quickly as possible, rerolling, and rinse and repeat. It's just non-stop micromanagement made worse by the UI and controls being poorly designed for the kind of gameplay that is involved. Cool idea, poor execution.

It is fun and has a lot of variety, but... Desperately needs a way to micro-manage units, like rectangle-drag-box to select units or popup menu that shows all units one by one and lets you select them in batch. It becomes impossible to send soldiers left and right, back an forth, when you need to assign them by clicking one by one. You cannot even pause the game to do that, you need to try and click them while the timer is running. The wall's group-selection is not enough to manage the army, because either you filter them all or none, there is no way to tell the game: "send 4 archers to the leftmost wall" or "split the army in half for each class, and then keep them at each side". Note.: the title cutscene's narrator kinda sounds like VideoGameDunkey

It's good, but has no real modding scene, which is a shame,

I write this as I try to 100% this game. I'm about 13 hours in, but honestly for the past 6 hours the gameplay have been incredibly dull. The game's strongest strategies are very repetitive and boring. As soon as you try to experiment and have fun, you lose. - The game is incredibly unbalanced, most cards are absolute garbage. Unlike other roguelikes, the optimal gameplay is more about looking for the specific cards that work rather than trying to discover new synergies. - The pace of the game is a huge oversight. It seems stressful at first but as soon as you know what you're doing it becomes the opposite: sluggish and repetitive. - The gameplay feels awkward. Moving units around seems like it was an afterthought, the same with moving the camera when your buildings start to cover the whole map. - There's no visibility over some very important things in the game. For example there's no overview menu of your units or buildings! Also activating some buildings takes just too long to do and feels like a chore. What’s frustrating is that the game feels close to being good. With a few weeks of polish and quality-of-life improvements, we could've had a great game on our hands. TLDR; it's not fun!

答辩并不总以答辩的形式出现。 游戏底子还行，差不多算个中评，属于“食之无味，弃之可惜”的那种，不过有些地方实在让我受不了，所以给差评了。 1.角色强度差距很大。商人破产流前期就能快速成型，然后乱杀；而建筑师但凡前几次没出好卡，就直接离凉凉不远。 2.作者本人从不玩游戏，所以做出不少抽象的操作方式：（1）游戏里有暂停，但暂停后玩家只能移动视角，而无法进行任何其他操作，不能出牌，不能抽牌、不能看牌信息，不能看建筑信息，我都不知道这个暂停的意义是什么（2）明明是个即时制游戏，本来就是在和敌人抢时间搞发展，它却非要给抽卡加一个无法跳过的动画，尤其是遇到那种明明可以救场，却被抽卡动画耽搁了的情况，我真就好奇作者脑子里装了什么（3）出卡时的判定容易卡住，比如爆兵的时候，出了一张卡后，鼠标必须移动一下才能出第二张卡，不然就会显示无法使用。 不是哥们，我一轮拿了5张加技能伤害的牌，结果整轮都没遇到过能够造成伤害的技能牌？？？你要不要看看你这概率做的什么东西？

基本的には面白い。 だがストラテジー操作部分は不満点が多い。 基本的に陣形は移動しかできず、細かく操作できないので、細かい判断はユニットそれぞれのAIにゆだねられるのだが、残念ながらこのゲームの味方は概ねアホだ。 前衛ユニットは外側からくる敵にしか反応せず内側に入り込んだ敵は基本無視するし、後方配置ユニットは敵が回り込んできて殴られまくっても反撃せず別の敵を攻撃し続けてどんどん死ぬし、攻撃できない回復役などが逃げずに敵に一方的に殴られていつの間にか居なくなってたりする。 一応個別のキャラを動かすこともできるのだがUIがとにかく小さくて使えたもんじゃないし、ユニットが重なってるとそもそも指示を出したいユニットを選択することすら困難だ。時間を止める機能もあるが、止まってる間は画面スクロール以外の一切の操作ができない。ストラテジー部分がそういうかゆいところに手の届かない仕様なのに、海岸ステージの敵なんかはどんどん自陣に乗り込んでくる。製作者はゲームの歯ごたえとめんどくささを履き違えてるんではないかと思う。せめて優先して狙う敵は決めさせてほしかった。

It's a game about rats. I repeat: THIS IS A GAME ABOUT RATS.
