Star Renegades teaser - A new sci-fi tactics game from Halcyon 6 devs, 2018
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Sci fi.
Nice.
Non-ugly pixel art that isn't trying to look like an 8-bit game.
Nice.
Tactics.
Hmm. Are we talking an XCOM type tactics (nice), everyone fighting on a small empty grid type tactics (meh) or everyone stands in a line taking turns to swat each other type tactics (meeeeeh, but I kinda liked Darkest Dungeon so who knows)?
EDIT: Oh wait, didn't see the link. Looks like it's last kind. Eh. "Fast-paced Reactive Time Battle System" better not mean they're trying to combine real time and turn based. That always turns into an awkward mess.

Hmm, I'm not finding it on the Xbox App on PC. Did you download through the MS Store?
I just found it on the store because it wasnt on the app
Thanks, just looked in store rather than the gamepass app.
edit - annoyingly enough, the shortcut/launcher doesn't add itself to the app lol.
Ummmm so i finished the tutorial and the first map.
If you like Grandia combat then this might be right up your alley.

When the app updates it will appear. I have had this happen downloading from the store early several times.
Was this even announced for Gamepass? Or is this just a random get?
Been playing for the last hour. Really really like it so far.
The combat at least so far has been pretty fun, and I didn't know the game had a pseudo-nemesis system. I really dig it.
And even if you hate the gameplay or story for some reason, visually this game is completely stunning and worth playing for that alone.
Primary gripe so far is the big lack of options. Hopefully they add more.

Ive done quick and dirty OT's before. If nobody else wants to i can get an OT up in about an hour when im done working.
Gorgeous pixelart, and looks cool, but... I see the roguelite tag used. How does that work? Don't tell me you start over from the beginning in an RPG...?
Played it a bunch more. Still liking it but some flaws are starting to shine though.
Game is def hard, but it doesn't feel unfair yet to me. I'm still making the occasional stupid mistake which is why I'm losing.
However the game needs to be better about telling you stuff. Right now there seems to be a bug where if an enemy has more than a certain amount of status conditions... you just can't see the rest of them. Which is kinda important when you're fighting commanders and stuff and need to know their weaknesses. So I have to check them before I fight every single time. There is a lot more stuff I'm constantly wondering about which I need to figure out via trial and error.
The writing is... meh? It wasn't the core focus here and clearly shows. For the story it doesn't matter that much but there is a lot of emphasis put on companionship here so weaker character writing and banter hurts the game. It hasn't been that bad but it would be awesome for it to be improved via update or something.
The visuals remain ridiculously good.

I know I said I'd whip together an OT but the rogue lite elements of this game are absolute dogshit and I'm pretty pissed after clearing a couple planets. Will make an OT tomorrow if I'm in a better mood lol.
Went through the first planet, seems alright? The RPG combat is pretty run, but it seems like the runs are gonna take *awhile* and I don't know if I have it in me to do this kind of thing over and over? Unless there's a ton of variety in the classes/enemies. Not having seen how the run-based element works, it's kind of hard to tell. So I'll at least keep going through my first fail.
LOL, I was just thinking yesterday "I hope the Rogue-like renaissance never ends!". The Roguenaissance if you will.
This is how I'm feeling. I was way into it until I hit the game over screen and saw what was ahead of me.
Same here... I'll try it since it is on Game Pass and a small download, but yeah...
Ok i made the OT
