RESEARCH and DESTROY

10/10 changed my life

Como amo este juego, estresante, y aunque no hay presion en tiempo real, si HAY PRESION EN TIEMPO REAL ashhahsah

Research and Destroy is a third person turn based strategy game, you are not bound by a grid or hex map, is more in line with Valkyrie Chronicles, you control the characters with a third person shooter control system and you have a limited time to execute a number of actions, move, attack, use your special ability, or interact with the environment. The game is fun, the movement is enjoyable for most of the time, the shooting gameplay is fun, the Dexter Laboratory’s inspired art style is unique, nostalgic and quite good, however, there are problems with the game, the biggest one is the fact that the game loves to waste your time, from the first mission to the final mission. •repeat the same action 3 times in a row •repeat the same mission 3 times in a row •survive for X turns •wait for a research to finish •physically move the character from point A to point B just to start a mission, or start a research or access the upgrade interface The issue isn't the time gates, but their frequency and the lack of quality of life features to make the player's experience more enjoyable, during missions there are no checkpoints or a save system, if you failed the mission or you have to close the game for whatever reason you have do it all over again, and each mission goes for 30-something minutes. There are other problems. •writing The writing is cringe and clearly inspired by Borderlands, full of 2010s memes and references and self indulgent humor, one line that irritated me was when the Van said that you need to defend yourself for 6 turns because he was playing a game that did not have a saving feature •lack of rewards the game does not reward you when you capture the enemy controlled territories, no passive resources, or bonuses, or new characters, you get nothing •equipment you can only equip 3 weapons/utilities items out of the 9, one for each character, the game doesn't give you enough space to explore the weapons in any meaningful way because you are going to have to sacrifice useful tools like the sniper rifle or the healing beam or the rocket jump to experiment with the more esoteric weapons and utility items •no build variation or character variation there are only 3 characters, the characters that you start with will always be the exact the same, you will always have the 8 seconds of action and the same HP and the same speed •physics you can lose an entire mission because your character fell onto the another character or collided with a ledge during a jump, the ragdoll system gets activated and you basically lose half of the action time and real time waiting for the character to get up from his back, meaning that if this happens in the wrong position the enemies will just gank on your characters Get at 85% discount, not less.
