Louisiana Voodoo is some absolutely insane puzzle design, finding a exploitable gap their was tough.
Exactly! I was so frustrated last night I had stopped playing just because I couldn't get the feature to work properly. Now tonight I know I will enjoy it so much more now.
Apparently the demo was added to steam too.
Yes please. I want more devs to make games like this. I absolutely love this style.

Like Shadow and commandos and this series, it's a niche series that is criminally underrated. Solving a level is just so satisfying.
I've been shilling the games as much as I could. But barely no one is interested. :(
They've covered two of my favourite genres so far. Just need a noirish, surreal cyberpunk version and I've got my holy trinity.
i would like a horror themed version where you play a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, a lizardman and something else. scenario could be graveyards, gothic manors, a dark forest and stuff.
sorry to quote you but i absolutely loved that level... the atmosphere is just awesome, one other thing is the dialogue between the protagonist , especially between The Doc and Isabelle
About 30 hours but I took my time with it. Also, there's plenty of objectives I missed (like 80% of them) plus while you play, you unlock some extra missions.

Just finished it, really cool mission and Isabelle seems so strong.
With the aim of the game being to scare people in inventive ways? Sounds fun!
Right?!
Still havent tried to play this, but are there gay cowboy enemies in this game like in the first one? Thats how D1 nerfed Kate mid-end game.
Haven't seen any yet but they have women mixed in and they're immune to her charms.
Oh ok, the demo wasn't as meaty as I thought lol. I sat down to go through the second proper mission and it seems to end at an arbitrary point with a "Buy now to see the rest of the game" like demos used to do. I'll definitely check out the full game when I've got a bit more cash to splash.
New Orleans was a great mission. First half encouraged you to be smart, I hope the correct one is randomly generated? Then second half is like Voodoo sniping combos
Yeah it was a bit odd the demo for ST had a couple of full missions.
Its a very niche genre. Hopefully it blows up though.
Pretty sure it ends the moment you cross a threshold to go after one of the targets but yeah, its still longer than the Shadow Tactics demo iirc, I remember that having a time limit.
It is. I listened to a hint right at the start and screwed up immediately after hearing it so I hadn't saved. Had to restart the mission, the hint the first time was the guy at the pier was the one with the letter, the second time he didn't have it.
I can't really complain, the first proper mission was solid and the start of the second sets up some enticing Hitman-esque freedom.
Well, in terms of userbase appeal, it's practically a PC exclusive.
As an aside, it bears repeating that this game happened because the devs released the very well-received Shadow Tactics a few years ago, so there's much more to chew on if you're nearing the end of the campaign but wish it were longer. Maybe wait for the Summer Sale to kick off, though. ;)
Should be mentioned that if you have been subbed to Twitch Prime for years they gave it away a while back and so did EGS last year. So you might already own it.
But yes, play Shadow Tactics.
Slower stealth/tactics games aren't very mainstream, unfortunately. This game is fantastic and will fly under most people's radars for years - if they ever notice it at all.
Cool, thanks! I'll check out Shadow Tactics at some stage for sure.
Lol, the end of the bridge mission was me doing a series of lures into Bianca. I think I got 8 enemies in a row as I piled bodies behind a box.
I really like the way this created more hybrids out of the Shadow Tactics cast. Cooper--Hayato are nearly 1:1 but Doc is much more self sufficient compared to Takuma, while Kate is (sorta) less so compared to Aiko. But the guns change what they can do a lot, and I LOVE the weapon Kate has. Since she can't kill with melee, or even tie people up, it can fill the gap but has the ammo limit. But it manages to be diversify itself from Cooper's knife toss which makes the death gurgle come from the enemy, while the Kate kill is centered on her.
It's also cool to finally get to play around with Isabelle. Her possession is obviously super powerful, but the connect is genuinely tough to use without blowing cover, since both enemies need to be out of sight. It makes it really, really satisfying to pull off combos with it.
If I played the demo on GOG and then get the full version on Steam, will it let me continue or do I have to buy the GOG version?
Yeah, if Kate could kill/tie up enemies she might legitimately be broken. Her gun is already pretty strong, if there aren't longcoats around (or at the very least they are easily avoided) you can send her in on her own and she can open up a gap in the guards just by luring enemies away and shooting them.
One thing Isabelle's connect is really good for is distracting. You can connect two enemies and send Stella at one and she'll distract both.
Ohhh, that's right. Kate's perfume would work there as well, damn. Only been using it for double kills so far, lol.
I didn't think to use it for anything but kills until the second mission you have her for. Then I realized it said "anything" happens to both so I tried it out. It works great. And yeah, Kate's perfume would be great. I could see using Cooper's rock throw being good on two targets too far apart to distract at once too.
Edit: Oh and Hector's whistle would probably let you pull people over in to sight range for things like Doc's bag. Maybe a decent way to pull someone over for a safer double kill.
this right here works so well, game is just a bliss and encourages you to think about various ways to take on the enemies with

When it appears I'll be all in on GeForce now. It doesn't seems to be enhanced on Xbox. So Tv 1080p60 GeForce + mobile
The thing I need to adjust to is guns are much more useful than in Shadow Tactics. Dual six shooters on Cooper are rather strong, there was a bit near the end of the mission I just did with 3 guys close together and I sat for a minute thinking of the best way to take it with stealth options then thought, wait these three are kind of isolated from everyone else, threw a knife at one guy causing the other two to start to alert but went into showdown and shot both down before anyone was the wiser.
Man I had no idea these challenge versions of maps were even a thing. So excited to give these a go.
You could do that kind of stuff in Shadow Tactics. I honestly shied away from guns in my first playthrough thinking they'd be too annoying to deal with because of the noise but it really isn't hard to position yourself so it doesn't alert. You do have more options with guns in this game, though.

Yeah, it's a shame. Sure, the game is somewhat slow but 4X, grand strategy, and turn-based-strategy games seem to be doing super well on PC these last few years and it's not like those are super fast to play. Maybe a new Commandos / WW2-themed game in this vein would do a little better but idk.
I hadn't even heard of it until a few days ago, so I assume marketing is a factor
Played a few hours of it yesterday, it's a really fun game. Usually I'm not the best at strategy games like this but I feel like I'm doing good for the most part. It's very satisfying to make a plan and see it all come together.
Possibly, yeah. They did release a pretty substantial demo a few weeks ago though and got great previews / reviews from RPS and PC Gamer, among other places. Shadow Tactics seemed to do okay from word of mouth in the long run, hopefully this will too.
Makes sense.
Its a tricky situation. Do you add gay enemy cowboys that add diversity, or is it seen as bad because they are used only as a mechanic agaisnt the player.
If there are women now i think it could be cool to add also lesbian cowboys were you think you wouldnt be able to pass with kate but you can trick one in the group. Bit again, tricky situation as its used as a mechanic.
I think the biggest tip I could give someone playing this game would be constantly keep asking "What am i actually trying to accomplish here?" Its so easy to loose focus on your actual goal because of how complex the maps are, but once you refocus on the end goal you can usually work backwards from there.
