I haven’t really talked much about actual gameplay mechanics it’s a mouse and keyboard driven game, but I’ve been playing with a now-discontinued Steam Controller. Here, my small party of fairly powerful fighters charges into a bandit base and pretty much wrecks them. I basically sorted by “most popular of all time” and downloaded most of the first couple of pages.Īn example of how the combat works. Another great thing about the game is the built-in mod support through the Steam Workshop if there’s an aspect you wish was a bit different, you can often find a mod that changes it. The complete flexibility has made me start the game over several times just to try something a bit different. Eventually, in my first play through, I built my own stronghold and destroyed one of the slaving factions after an all-out war. I’d gained allies, experienced battles and adventures, and realized this all added up to it’s own story. It’s a very tough system, but over time I found myself thinking about the history of my characters. Eventually, I started getting in on the fights too and slowly got stronger. I’d let the strong folks fight, then loot the losers and sell or use their equipment. Eventually, I learned that early on, it’s best to run from enemies and try to bring them near city guards or other factions to see if they’ll fight each other. I finally made it to Hub, but had to sacrifice our robot, who permanently died, to get away from some enemies. Hub has a lot of “Hungry Bandits” around, who are (in theory) easier to handle. Try not to get enslaved by the United Cities or eaten by cannibals!Īfter some research, I found it was recommended to find a city called Hub to learn the ropes. One of my favorite starting scenarios, “Guy and His Dog.” You’re dropped into the ruins of a town with a stick, some rags, and a dog. Eventually I had to take a break to figure out how I could actually play this game without dying right away. I reloaded, then we were captured by Reavers and enslaved. Within the first couple of minutes, we were all wiped out by a roving band of malfunctioning robots. As I usually do in games like this, I made characters based on my family plus a robot I named after a cat. The first time I played, I picked a “Nobodies” start, which let me create five hungry weaklings and plopped me in the middle of a wasteland. A bunch of other small groups like Shinobi Thieves, Reavers, Traders Guild, United Hero League, Nomads, Manhunters, Crab Raiders, etc.Flotsam Ninjas (opposed to the Holy Nation).Western Hive (friendly ant/bug-like mutants).Anti-Slavers (obsessed with ending slavery at any human cost).
