Wartorn

It's not... bad. The bones of a merged RTS / Roguelike / TRPG are here! From what I've played (admittedly not much) it's smooth, there's minor jank, and it's competent enough... So what is the problem? This game did NOT sell well upon entering Early Access. They had some pretty big plans but after ~80 reviews within 6 months of release, and only 107 on full release, it's unlikely the game will see any updates moving forward. I don't blame the devs for this - with the priormentioned review #'s there's NO WAY this was profitable. You can't expect any size team to keep working on a project that is literally NOT selling. My heart goes out to them because I think they started this with the best intentions.. So what was the problem for sales? Well, for starters, the art style is INSANELY off putting. It makes your eyes bleed with how washed out it is. It's just not.. clear? Sharp? It's like they maxed out the fuzzy. Second, the voice acting is just atrocious. It's like the devs brought their youngest family members in and just handed them a set of lines. In a more story-oriented roguelike, this was a killer. Third, the lore dump is overwhelming. Bizarre names and factions are thrown around like candy, and this whole 'world' with all its rules / lore you're just expected to know. It's a lot for new players to digest. Finally, the game is structured as a Rogue-Like that leans toward 'Fail, Fail, Fail' and build up meta currency until you eventually can win, vs. player capability being strong enough upon starting to win a run. You're essentially soft-locked from winning until you acquire enough meta-progression from within the runs themselves. (And these are often rewarded vs. in-run upgrades, which further prolongues the grind). You can decide if those issues prevent you from enjoying the game. I think it's worth $20, as you'll get 10-15 hours out of it, but don't expect anything else from it. Again, I feel bad for the dev team. So much slop is released everyday on Steam while *potential* gems like this get buried, never to be heard of again. I hope their next project goes well.

If you play strategy games long enough, you will find out that they removed the features that made modern strategy games. The game is about numbers. No defense, no armor, no cover no cover, just HP, damage and heals. Start of the game, first 3 random event instantly removes a squad from your roster permanently. 16 enemy squads rushing your max 5 squad is almost impossible to win and it takes all the fun out. Grinding and more grinding. I hit you and you hit me. Text events repeat on the same journey. Poor group formation and half the squad queuing up to fight. It really sucks when we have to keep pausing the game and manual click click click when the AI is really dumb. The negative reviews weren't kidding. I tried to make a group of 5 fighting healers and really made all the way to the end but the game is so unfun I literally fall asleep. The impression the dev gives me is that they do not really know what a roguelike game is, it is a game that requires skill in a hard set up, not grinding and cockblocking. This game is definitely a no go. No chance for dev. Dev needs to play more roguelike.

Designed for grinding. A lot to love here, but it's absolutely ruined by the fact that the meta-progression system is largely numerical. Your first run your units are piss weak, your caravan will die instantly to random events (which you have no way to predict the outcome of), and you're expected to lose then spend your currency to unlock permanent upgrades to health, attack damage, starting currencies etc. A really, really, really big disappointment.

MD，是机翻！ 而且画质和UI都非常奇怪，啥TM都看不清。

Generally the RTS combat feels fine but is ruined by frustrating battle types. Some that just encourge you to just run past instead of fighting because your massively outnumbered or enemies keep spawning in:, and spawns can feel busted with enemies spawning next to you but at the edge of the map so you can't attack properly or in the middle of your units. Also not being able to rotate the map or having a mini map for an RTS feels insane. The random choices that happen on the over-world map feel horrible unbalanced as they can just randomly take your units or half your supplies not matter your choice so a run of bad luck with minimal player input/decision can end your run. A lot of them the outcomes just feel like they just don't make sense and the dev's are trying to trick you or something. The story and writing in general is just horrible, feels like a DM who's written 200 pages of lore on his world before you have even created your character, and all of it is just cringey and trying way to hard.

Juego divertido con buenas bases de estrategia y roguelite, si habeis jugado a algun total war os va a resultar muy similar la forma de manejar las unidades. eso si, NI SE OS OCURRA PAGAR 30 PAVOS POR ESTO, es buen juego, divertido, entretenido y ademas bonito el arte esta muy bien, pero en su estado NO vale 30€, intentad pillarlo en ofertas o en alguna pagina de keys por menos dinero porque ahora mismo no vale el precio que tiene en steam.

Cool game, but at the point where you meet lady justice, my fps go down to 5-10, with RX 7900XTX and Ryzen 7900 X3D, so my PC is quite beefy. Couldnt win this fight cause i couldnt do anything besides watching the freeze frames. Glorious.

Idea behind the game is nice : there are very few RTT based roguelites and I am happy to see 1 more. Unfortunately, there is a reason why RTTs aren't as numerous as other genres: pathfinding and object/unit collision are difficult to do properly. And Wartorn doesn't do it properly. At least not yet. In spite of that, core of the game is good : fun & challenging fights, enough randomness to make each run distinct from the previous one. My verdict : I cautiously recommend Wartorn, but depending on how game develops, I might have to change my review to negative if developers don't fix pathfinding and collision issues. Those are not something you can ignore in an RTT.

成长系统太拉胯，局内也没有什么肉鸽元素，全靠升级，升级也没有质变，饰品更是废物，不会做就别硬塞这玩意行不?就很差劲，家园宝物和人竟然只能各带一个?有必要这么卡吗？最高也才五级，法术更是垃圾，就几个技能，也是只能带一个，说实话太差劲了，难度还很高，后面招募个十来个人，粮食两天都撑不住，随机事件没有任何意义，所以这到底算什么类型游戏?要成长没成长，要局内没局内的，完全就是个四不像
