The game is fine, but quite shallow.

I played TH on Sega Genesis/Megadrive back in time, and nostalgia plays a part, but i'm also a "veteran" player, so i can see what the game is for itsefl too.

It's all about managing space to build rooms, and deal with the poorly designed queues (some maps, you need like 6 generalists all with 10+ patients waiting...), and recruiting the best people and form them.

There are almost no interaction between rooms, so dealing with disease X or Y or Z is just the same, only with a different (fun) animation.

So, the game is enjoyable, yes, and i do like it, somehow. It's simple, simplistic even, but be warned about the lack of depth for pretty much anything.

Combat is about to get a lot more interesting in Hand of Fate 2

I didn't like Hand of Fate 1, only because of the combat phases.
I wanted to like Hand of Fate 2, but again i didn't like the combats.

Maybe the
Quoting: Nanobang"Action RPG" Sounds great! "Rogue-like" Uhhh ... "Card Game" Ah, yes. That's why I gave this a pass.

Really fun to see it's my opinion, but reversed ! I love ARPG like Sacred, Torchlight, Grim Dawn etc, but only not the ones in Hand of Fate, as they are not "ARPG" enough.

Rogue Like + Card games, lovely !

Language learning game Lingotopia is out, some thoughts

I tried it while in Alpha, i wanted to like it, but it's really not "fun" at all. Worst, it's even less affective than reading a dictionary with pictures, these books for kids. You just walk and click on things, with poor design, terrible camera and control, and empty passion.

In a positive world, where good things could happen, what may happen is all dual-booters may stay on Linux for gaming now, so more game will be registered as Linux buyers, so more games will come to Linux.

It's a great new for players, but i'm concerned about NATIVE Linux games. Too many, i think today, will use this instead of going the road to a proper Linux build.

Basically, it's a WINE inside Steam, so it's still not Linux.

BATTLETECH has an expansion named FLASHPOINT coming out this November

Quoting: ZaxthI can't wait for the excuse "We are unable to dedicate resources to a Linux port at this time, due to work on the new expansion"

That's the feeling i have too...

I'd say we will have Linux at best with the expansion, not before.

And i hope i'm wrong.

Exiled Kingdoms - a mobile RPG with decent depth, now on Linux
8 August 2018 at 6:25 pm UTC

I've been trying to play it for the last three months or so, but the difficulty, and the combat system are quite killing me. It's not a "hack'n'slash". You basically must use the Space Bar in order to be sure to hit your target, because you cannot just click your mouse like in a Diablo or Sacred or Torchlight etc. The "ported from mobile devices" part of the game is maybe too strong to my taste. But i really would like to like it.. . Should try more, but again, time is not an infinite resource for a human being.
