NEO: Commanders
Just bought the game and already experiencing bugs. The full screen settings button doesn’t work properly. Also whenever I load into a game the full screen isn’t there. It’s as if part of my game is blacked out on both sides. the blacked out spots cover my game mini map and the Star Base menu to build ships. I do not recommend this game until this bug is fixed. If anybody has a fix for this please let me know.

SpellForce 3: Versus Edition
The idea of the Spellforce 3: Versus Edition is to give people the opportunity to try out the game, its mechanics and check out the in-game design, before spending money for either the campaigns or the PvP package.
If you don’t own any of the games, you will be randomly assigned one of the races from the Spellforce 3: Burning Blood base game: Elves, Humans or Orcs. Whether you like how the devs handled this or not, depends on you, but given the fact that it is a free version and the purpose it serves, it is totally fine in my opinion.

Hello, I’ve seen a lot of conflicts between players and developers in discord channels, the player pool is extremely low but anyway the chat conflicts and random bans of people who are not “devs friends” makes the 90% of time in conflicts all the time.
How is that possible in a very small comunnity?
Game crashes, bugs, exploits, extremely unbalanced races problems?
A lot of bugs and crashes have been notified for months and never have been an answer or fix, the only answer is “this is a small company, so our resources are limited”.

Apocalyptic Adventure: Episode 1
A Gem, yet to be Found
As the store page states it, this game is made by a small team and is designated as an early access title. But early access is not the right word for what we got here so far. Think about Apocalyptic Adventure: Episode 1 as an advanced Demo of what this series might can become in the near future. The coremechanics are already fleshed out, the menu and backpack system is on a good way, Your inventory, which can be grabbed from your back, works as you place it in the world intuitively. Especially while crafting weapons and tools at one of the many workbenches, you get a feeling for the intuitive “grabbing in the bag” to get your resourcess. In addition to the backpack storage on your back for big things, the player got a small pouch on the lef hip in which utility items, like stones, bombs and ammo can be stored and quickly acessed. To get rid of the infected hordes which come at you as you progress threw the map, the player mostly relies on melee combat. While beeing able to use your fists to push the infected away, the game tells you quite early that the use of tools, handcrafted weapons and traps are the way to go against the undead. Handgun combat is also part of the game, while ammo is always low and it is meant as the last devestating defence in the most tragic situations.

Base One
I would like to recommend the game with caveats.
Firstly, it looks beautiful, and I love the concept. The modules, devices, and ships look great, and the backgrounds are very appealing (although the characters' portraits aren’t up to the same visual standard). The basic idea is not new, but this generally has a scale that I’m enjoying; it’s more Civ 5/Civ 6 than Cities Skyline or Surviving Mars. By that I mean that in the latter, you reach a stage where your city/base is almost too big to micro-manage enjoyably. (The micro-management is something I enjoy, but it’s not for everyone.)

ok i have played over 80 hours of this game so far. so i will write an advised review and as honest as possible.
1st the good point: the game concept is good, there is mission / tutorial to show u some basics.
there is also a custom game mode (sandbox) wich is a must have since after doing the mission there would be nothing else left.
The graphics are nice and the call and crew are voiced on various area.
There is in game contract during custom to keep u entertained and helping u to survive wich is a nice addition.

HeatWave

The Russian government supported by China decides to take advantage of the US situation. To expand into more hospitable places to live, they launch an invasion of Alaska, which was once a Russian colony.

Dwarven Forge
This game shows a lot of promise and i’ll be keeping a very close eye on it.
I’m recommending this game as a show of support for a game I wish to see finished however It isn’t exactly in a playable state currently due to bugs and possible balance issue (that or i just suck not sure yet lol).
The depth of the crafting with all the different qualities and material types really is something i’m looking forward to seeing when the game is more complete.

Above the Fold
Full Disclosure- I got my key at no cost, from the developer, to playtest the game, from Alpha 4 on.
This in no way affects my review of the game. If it sucked, I would be brutally honest about it. I call then like I see them.
Okay, that said, up there ^^^…
I don’t really tend to enjoy manangement sim games, I usually find them too simple, shallow, or just plain uninteresting.
This game is different. It may be because I have been inside, watching it evolve (and will continue to do so through Early Access, and beyond…), but this game has depth. The subject matter, a paper print newspaper from the 1980’s- (when I was a teen and young adult) is very relatable for me. The game is still in development, but it already very rich with details that hold your interest, tension that makes you hustle and make snap decisions, humor that pops up and relieves some of the tension, in a very silly way, and more challenge than I expected. I like challenge.

Its very early and developed by one person with a budget smaller then my allowance during all 4 years of high school combined. That probably isn’t true though.
Anyway, this game is a gem, and will be a gem in the future.
Yes, turn your music off asap or adjust using your systems audio mixer, that is a bit of feedback that can be acted on.
At the core this game is charming, you have a deadline you need to meet, an owner that can get angry with you, but also praise you. I imagine it is as similar to managing a news paper in the late 90’s was, and a news website today is. This is after all a simulation.
