Swords And Magic: Path Of Conquest

45/100 ..atm only for experienced Beta-Testers >> It has a core, but needs more meat to its frame << In current state I cannot recommend it unless you enjoy early Beta-Tests. [---Updated---] 💢PS: scroll down for details *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developers own comment to another Review: Archer [developer] Posted: 15 Aug @ 7:09pm Since this is my first project, I only have a rough idea of ​​many of the game mechanics. I have to constantly adapt and revise the specific content during development. Basically, my goal is to create automated combat based on the raids from World of Warcraft, combined with elements of guild simulation and management. (translated to English) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Now a long list of massive gamebreaking issues: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Technical issues: - Game itself has memory leaks and corrupts itself in long sessions (3h+) - FPS - drops sharply to ~65% in long sessions. Also it´s not crisp and washed out. This shows gfx utilization is wrong. - CPU/GPU - requires resources like AAA games from few years ago. One of those UNITY games that drains lots of power, but looks like 8y old. - SAVES - are generally solid and AUTOSAVE on logout works, saves are not corrupted. That said, after some time and even deleting old saves, the game does not autosave anymore except on logout. Also SAVE button does not work anymore after deleting some. - UI / Menus - while the UI works, the pop-up windows require rework. eg: you can´t close many with ESC-key as almost any other game. - PET is buggy. often spawns by itself and you cannot dismiss it. - RENAMING option is nice, but also buggy. eg: using C letter when renaming pet will abort your renaming and open Party UI (C-key) --> only way to fix most issues => RESTART GAME (I know annoying as hell) Game design flaws: - no Worldmap (that would show you both dungeons) - no connected/shared Storage (each chest is separate, pet also - which defeats the feature) - no full choice over your party composition !! - unrewarding Economy - it´s literally set up to drain your little gold - it´s so bad the developer gives you frequent allowance (monthly gold coins) lol - deceptive Timesinks to keep players in the game for longer (eg: crafting) - Level up pacing is BAD - I mean really horrible - Game systems & mechanics - well don´t expect things to be smooth - Class balance is OFF, I mean some are just outright crap - Talent design of Classes is mostly inherently consistent, but several bugs / decisions that make zero sense (eg: why would you unlock the advanced trait at Lv5, when you only aquire the skill at lv 10 ? ..lot´s of these hamper progression) - HIDDEN mechanics (eg: need to invest 3 points at each Talent stage 5/10/15/..) - RNG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanics left and right (Traits, Tavern recruitment, etc) - CLIPPING can prevent you from using NPC vendors - Enemy HP bars skyrocket too quickly (HP sponge bosses included) - Party HP is actually quite good, but enemies scale away after lv.5-8 - 12/24 Raids are ridiculous -- zero playtesting shows by difficulty ranking, hp +numbers - DUNGEON mechanics rely on buffs to even get anywhere and survive higher Waves - some Bosses are outright broken ..waste of time! - Crafting system is also really bad - timesink - Equipment is hard to aquire and/or costly - Drops are quite ♥♥♥♥ even when doing CHALLENGING Dungeons (btw very hard +timesink) - overall Progression seems ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up ..every few hours something breaks the fun - clearing a hard 24 Raid Dungeon 95% and then getting your huge party beaten by unfair boss at same level is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That means you LOST -70% of all Drops ..WTF - Imagine same DUNGEON wave and 1 enemy encounter is literally 10x harder, takes several minutes yet no good or usable drops ..WTF - PLAYTIME - Party after 20h: 2x lv20, 4x lv16, 6x lv15, 2x lv14, 4x lv7 ..yes stupid GRIND! - Took me ~18h to finally get my first Assassin (+ Flamebringer) - ... There was clearly no serious playtesting beyond lv.10 ..and some issues are so glaring obvious, it´s inexcusable. Guess I forgot a ton of minor bugs, but this is already long enough.. TLDR: While the game has a decent baseline, I won´t sugarcoat this many flaws!!

Fun right now. A lot of potential to be very fun.

作为一款团队自走RAID游戏，竟然不能设置技能释放逻辑？ 假设有两个T，不能设置群体嘲讽的释放条件，导致两个T每次都是同步嘲讽。同理两个治疗不能设置生命百分比/法力百分比的条件治疗，每次队友掉血就两个治疗同步去奶。 推荐作者去玩玩龙之信条，看看里面pawn的技能释放条件和逻辑。。。在次点也可以去玩下黑荆棘角斗场，看看团队自动技能要怎么来设置

优化见鬼了。。。读条慢，存档慢，巨吃资源巨卡，返回菜单还概率游戏崩溃，甚至把我其他软件也都炸了。 服了

游戏难度没法选择强制，根据队伍平均等级提升，那我咋打的过去？6人队连一会儿拉几个1级的12人队反而更好打，第一次通关是6个主力带上18个1级打24人团战，第一次打过了，第二次队伍平均等级提升就打不过给我看笑了这神人游戏，怪物变难打了打怪材料也变多，看更新日志尽更新些加大地图这种没用的东西，刷图最快的办法就是打完一把就去买些新角色来回跑都要3分钟

Well worth the money. You can tell its early access but for an auto battler it is great! It needs some polish and some ease of use but its really fun.

不是你整这么大个地图，上面就两三个交互地点，然后弄个那么长那么空的主路连着让我跑，你要干啥呀隔着给我塞垃圾时间...哪怕就做几个按钮直接让我点也比这体验好；还有战斗的时候，你会给一堆临时buff，但你为什么不做个页面让我看看角色当前属性呢？打完你还要做个散步绕路捡装备的动画折磨观众。还有这个主城能不能好好优化了，每次进城都要卡个好几秒是要干嘛。
