    Suzerain - political simulator & RPG hybrid by Torpor Games - now with Kingdom of Rizia DLC

    While the devs probably are typical progs you encounter among creative and tech types, I think they did an admirably balanced job with writing and characters in Suzerain. If you've ever tried writing stories, you'll know how easy it is to turn characters you find personally abhorrent into...

    4X Old World - historical 4X strategy by Civ 4 designer (formerly 10 Crowns)

    Well, it's certainly one of the top 4X games out there at least. Shame that it requires more juice from your rig than a contemporary FPS to run properly.

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    I think melee interrupt was in one of the built-in traits each character has. Hand-to-hand, probably. Check out Nails, he has it.

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    Can confirm that it's possible to download JA3 mods from Steam Workshop with the SteamCMD tool using an anonymous login. Here are the steps for Windows: 1. Download SteamCMD (it's an official CLI tool provided by Valve) 2. Unpack the zip 3. Run steamcmd.exe. It will install a bunch of stuff on...

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    Is it possible to download Steam Workshop mods for games that you own elsewhere? I have the GOG version of JA3, and both UI enhancements & Darker Nights mod aren't available in Nexusmods.

    I loved (x) game. Anything similar to it?

    They're a very unique series of games and nothing's quite similar to them, but Suzerain probably comes closest in combining a multiple choice CYOA with some underlying economic/diplomatic systems.

    Rauniot - isometric post-apocalyptic adventure set in Finland

    What I meant was that the trailer gives the same vibes as Stasis did. It's dark, gloomy, lonely, and happens in a "grounded" setting. However I found the sadistic (towards the protagonist) tone of Stasis unbearable, and trying to apply real-life logic to puzzle solutions was annoying (I'd like...

    I seriously disliked Stasis. Is there any point looking into this further?

    Suzerain - political simulator & RPG hybrid by Torpor Games - now with Kingdom of Rizia DLC

    Played Rizia through as a status que ultradiplomatic dealmaker. Got both disputed territories integrated peacefully and wasn't couped at the 10-year mark when the game ends. Didn't have to touch war mechanics at all. The overall modus operandi of Suzerain seems to be to pick a path and then...

    Suzerain - political simulator & RPG hybrid by Torpor Games - now with Kingdom of Rizia DLC

    Yeah, the DLC seems just as legit as the base game on first impression. The underlying systems are a bit more visible and predictable with the budget/energy modifiers being visible all the time. The characters have their own voices, agendas, and methods for implementing them. The dialogues are...

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    Tested the mods briefly. Everything works in current game except for "say the lines". Even Pinned Down works despite not being updated since 2023. Agreed on the "firing while running" animations. Blood's knife throws and the light gun specialties look idiotic, and for a long time I had a...

    Game News Alpha Protocol gets an enhanced rerelease on GOG after five years in licensing hell

    I've been wondering for ages if GOG puts their thumb on the scale a bit in the bestseller charts. SWAT 4 (as great a game it is) is hovering near the top10 year after year, and I have a hard time believing it just keeps finding new sales all the time. If the staff must have a hard-on for a...
