What the title says, basically. I happen to be a big fan of handgonnes, muskets and their like in my fantasy / medieval-inspired games, and having played quite a few of those already, hoped you guys could recommend me some that I might have missed?
Here s a list of those I already played and 2 cents worth of hot takes from yours truly.
1. Arcanum: classic. 'Nuff said.
2. Pillars of Eternity 1-2: Look I hate intelligent barbarians and other retardo crap as much as the next guy, but firearms were neatly done I found. Thinking about replaying Deadfire with a arquebus-toting sharpshooter. Feel free to give build advise.
3. Sacred 1-2: had a hand cannon-wielding dwarf. Havent touched this since teenage years, but good memories.
4. Corsairs series: mostly you get to use pistols, though in later series you could also have a musket as I recall. Mostly as sidearms though. Fantastic games, pure slavjank, worth playing.
5. Risen series: Abandoned Risen 2 several times, but will get back to it someday. Is full-ranged build viable?
6. Farewell To Dragons: Slavjank meets steampunk. Not too bad, but becomes an utter slog towards the end.
7. Silverfall: good art, good atmosphere, can play as a goblin with a blunderbuss or a musket, but the horrendous diablo combat and respawning enemies kill all the fun.
8. Vendetta: Raven's Cry - See the Sea Dogs (Corsairs) series. Its essentially a (much improved) spiritual successor. Great game.
9. TOME: Love the game, have sunk countless hours into it, but absolutely hated how they did firearms. Unfun.
10. Fate series: have played only the first one, havent heard good things about the latter two
11. Assasssin's Creed: not a fan.
12. Torchlight series: not bad at all for a rpg-lite.
13. Greedfall: Spiders games are my guilty pleasure. Played it, enjoyed it, not ashamed!
Rpg & Tacticool hybrids:
1. Battle Brothers: Absolutely love the game, including what they did with handgonnes. Still hope they ll get back to doing more dlcs for it and we'll get to see pistols and muskets
2. Expeditions: Conquistadors - Their best game. Not a masterpiece by any means, but thoroughly enjoyable.
3. Black Legend - I honestly think Codex sleeps on this one. Very happy I played it first and then looked it up on the 'Dex. Game is not without its problems and shortcomings, but boasts excellent atmosphere, setting, art (great weapon variety), an unballanced but FUN combat. If you ever wanted to play a grimdark fantasy Alatriste adventure (I know I did), then this is it.
Thats it from me folks - cant remember more atm. Feel free to chip in and recommend!.
