I never played this, probably because I was playing a lot of Dreamcast when this came out. Think I'll pick it up day one.

From that video, this game looks great.

I'll pick it up for sure and I'm excited to see another RTS game on Linux.

@KohlyKohl What genre are you talking about? I ask because all the roguelikes I have played have the "time only moves when you do gimmick".

I wasn't even thinking about the roguelike aspect but rather as a top down shooter.

Way too much Total War: Three Kingdoms

Not a fan of this game. I wish they would do something about the hero randomness and the length of the game.

I know they plan to make a shorter version but I just don't see how they will manage to do that since you already don't have enough time to buy and move around the heroes the way it is.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotOr there are fewer games for Linux released now that SteamPlay is around. Who can say with certainty? Historical data and statistics probably can. Who is going to dig in?

I've been repeating this mantra for 26 years now. What good it has done. I've missed out on a lot and I've come to the conclusion that it will not work for Linux users until the % of users is high enough.

Right now, Linux users are no where near high enough to make anyone care and anything that helps bring people over to Linux is a good idea.

Quoting: KohlyKohlWhen you pick a few heroes you want and they never show up again, that is a big issue in my opinion.

You can also say that you failed to plan for alternatives. Since the sell price of one star heroes is the same as the purchase price, you can store stock a few alternatives.

Sure you can sell level one heros but that doesn't mean the next hero you get will come up either. I stand by that this game isn't fun because of the complete randomness of it. As far as I can tell, there is little skill involved with this game.

I've had several games where all I needed was one more of a heroes to get a three star hero. 20 rounds later and I'm still waiting on that hero...

Another good example is items. If you are lucky enough to get the brawny item and lucky enough to get some good brawny units no one will beat you.

There needs to be a more skillful way to pick heroes and items.

It was fun for a few days but the RNG nature of this game gets old fast.

When you pick a few heroes you want and they never show up again, that is a big issue in my opinion.

Quoting: AdamVikingenGives me flashbacks to Warcraft 3, cant wait to try it out!

My thoughts exactly!
I really miss Warcraft 3, I'm excited for this one! :)

Then you should come back and check out Warcraft III again. I still play it and it has a decent user base still and lots of pro players.

Also, they moved over to DirectX11 and it runs really well under Linux now with DXKV.

That's great, I wasn't aware of that. I will definitely check it out, thanks :)

If you are just getting back into it I would check out Grubby's popular stream: https://www.twitch.tv/followgrubby
