Rebel Inc: Escalation

你需要保证一直上涨的水不从木桶里漏出来，你就需要不断花钱加高木桶的每一条木板，但是你的资金不足以保证每一条木板都赶得上涨水速度，水总会从某一个最短的木板处溢出来。你可以试图挣扎，但是你不能最终避免，因为从[b]逻辑上你就不可能成功[/b]。 [hr][/hr] 玩黑魂打不过boss我知道是我反应还不够快，注意力还不够集中，我知道它不是根本上的不可能，但是对于这种显而易见的场景，我知道不是我不行而是从根本上就不可能。 [hr][/hr] 作为一个公众宣传项目，它确实能告诉我们为什么阿富汗是帝国坟场。但是作为一个游戏，一个可达的获胜路径是必须的，否则它就不必称为一个游戏。

I should have listened to the negative reviews. This game apparently expects you to believe that the U.S. Air Force, Marines, and elite special forces can be defeated by ten guys with AKs because... game mechanics. The logic is baffling. Before you can build basic infrastructure like water or toilets, you have to pay a "setup" cost because, apparently, setting up the ability to build requires its own setup. Meanwhile, even if you've eliminated 97% of the insurgency by prioritizing military operations, you're still punished because you didn't immediately provide every village with sanitation and phone service. Somehow, two insurgent camps hidden in remote caves are enough to destabilize an entire country of hundreds of thousands of people. Then there's the reputation system. If it reaches zero, the game acts as if the entire U.S. military instantly loses all morale, packs up, and surrenders. Not because you've lost the war, but because an arbitrary reputation meter hit zero. It's one of the least believable mechanics I've seen in a strategy game. Anything above Easy difficulty is even worse. Once you understand how reputation actually works, you realize the challenge isn't strategic—it's artificial. Insurgents seem to spawn everywhere, and if one manages to reach a central province, you're expected to deploy what feels like half the U.S. military to encircle the map just to stop one guy with a phone and an AK from sprinting around in circles while somehow destabilizing an entire nation. Apparently, the population is also perfectly happy living for years without water, toilets, or basic services because you were forced to spend every available resource containing endless insurgent spawns. I also have no idea how these urban areas are supposed to exist without functioning sanitation, but that's the game's internal logic. I was expecting a tactical strategy game where planning and decision-making mattered. Instead, it feels like you're fighting arbitrary mechanics and RNG more than the enemy. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

It's OK I guess. More of the same if you've already played pandemic. But holy space balls all the bloody tutorial popups that you have to constantly click through every single round. There's an option to turn some of them off in the menu but even if you fully turn them off you still get 15-20 popups with very basic info that stops the game until you close them. It's like surfing the web without an adblocker.

good

Oyun aslında temelinde çok potansiyelli ve atmosferi de gayet yerinde ama zorluk dengesi o kadar ayarsız ki bir noktadan sonra keyif vermeyi bırakıp resmen sinir harbi yaşatıyor. Normal seviyede oynamama rağmen, sırf oyun zor olsun diye eklenmiş o kadar mantık dışı ve çözümsüz durumla karşılaştım ki strateji falan hak getire, resmen oyunun insafına kalıyorsunuz. Tam her şeyi yoluna koydum derken en alakasız yerden fırlayan isyancılar mı dersiniz, yoksa elinizden hiçbir şeyin gelmediği o saçma sapan itibar kayıpları mı, gerçekten belli bir noktadan sonra oyunun sizi bilerek imkansıza sürüklediğini hissediyorsunuz. Açıkçası stratejik bir zorluktan ziyade, oyuncuyu çileden çıkarmak için tasarlanmış abartı ve saçma bir sistem var ortada; bu yüzden saatlerce emek verip sonunda "yapacak hiçbir şeyim yoktu ki" diyerek ekran başında çaresizce kalmak istemiyorsanız hiç bulaşmayın derim, ben şahsen bu haliyle kesinlikle tavsiye etmiyorum.

Overall, it leaves a lot to be desired. I think they should've kept it in the oven a bit longer, to see what other features they could come up with. Every game kind of plays similar to the last. It needs more variety. How about you play as the insurgents? How about fleshing out the intelligence side of military, psychological operations and what not. There aren't a lot of options and it makes it so every game played is the same as the last. Also, the options that are there don't vary in effect enough. You can fund industrial expansions for instance and the effect seems the same as funding maybe farming and commercial. The choices players make need to matter more. I've played on Brutal and it is better but I think these criticisms still apply there. Edit: I've just seen that there is a MP mode that allows you to play as insurgents. But I still believe the game is a bit monotonous, maybe once I make it further I will be mistaken.

Курильщикам трудно без плана, Слезятся в глазах миражи, Идёт караван из Ирана, И много везёт анаши. Душистый план Не купить ни где без труда. Будь караван В пути осторожен всегда! Как трудно дойти до колодца, Когда уже нет больше сил. И сердце как будто не бьётся, И свет уже белый не мил. О каракум! Будь проклят твой чёрный песок! Шайтан – тайфун, Ты очень в пустыне жесток. Воды нет ни капли в сосуде, А губы всё шепчут о ней. В пустыне измучались люди От жарких и знойных лучей. О каракум!..................... О жизнь, за каким ты барханом? Дай людям хоть каплю воды! Крадётся смерть за караваном, Песок заметает следы. Душистый план Не купить ни где без труда Будь караван В пути осторожен всегда! Воды нет ни капли в сосуде. Гитара устала играть. Лишь только под самое утро Она зазвучала опять. И все торчат, Глаза покраснели как мак. И все торчат, По кругу гуляет косяк. Ты заженись! Ведь годы проходят твои. Поторопись! И друга – Хасана жени.
