he was clearly white in the original design tho, they just didn't update the art besides making him a bit tan(face only) and changing his hair

But is it good?
We have a review key, you know...
How long do I have to play for a review until I can just say it's shit and write that in review and is someone willing to check the writing after I sent it through an AI for spelling and grammar?

If so I can try it, not sure how fast I can be though.

EDIT: just as I was writing, I'm not sure anymore, it looks like slop thanks @Nooneatall

EDIT²: There is a demo I will check beforehand that it's not complete Aids

You have to complete the game to write a review anyway.

It's not good, It really is not.
If you took Rusty's key then that's going to be THE most expensive game you ever got. :lol:

@Lord of Riva we definitely need a review now
Would be hilarious but Jeff is a one off character in the mission where you don't play the black main charatcer named jake Kowalski, which is a typical african name :notsureif: but instead his white blonde wife Amanda, where she starts by provoking the guard "You are afraid of me even if I am a girl" and then beats him up in straight fist combat.

So yes, this is quite a mess in itself but it's not full clownworld. Have not met "Diego" yet, though the fourth character is a male. I was stuck on a defensive mission for a bit, this seems to be a debated topic on the forums and is likely to be turned down but I *just* literally finished it. And will now proceed.

I'm not going to spoil the review but there some good aspects here, I like the skill system and while I don't like how it looks, it's surprisingly readable in combat even with way too many enemies on screen.

I'm in mission 7/10 (according to the dev) I am pretty confident I will finish this week and I am assuming that writing something will be way more fun than playing it.

Yes, I do. Played it 4 times in full. It's a weird game, especially coming from fallout and has it's shit quirks but overall I enjoy it a lot.

EDIT: That is why I considered reviewing it, I considered buying this one.

Interesting. Fallout Tactics is my favorite Fallout game, and it sounds like I like the Dustwind games better than you do. It's not perfect by any means, and has a lot of jank, but I also think there are some places it improves on FOT.

I agree that they improve on *some* levels but not on many, I can see that they tried to improve the encounter design and also did to some extent. FT seems to suffer from using a ruleset and gameplay not designed for the purposes of the game, this problem evidently does not exist in Dustwind. However I really do not appreciate getting funneled into mine-ridden corridor, after corridor with invisible snipers 2 steps in and my highly skilled Dog (which is weird in itself) taking like 5 seconds per mine to perceive it and getting one shot by a sniper that will only ever be seen when it's to late even with maxed enemy perception.

Point is, the encounter design is more deadly which is good as FT often boiled down to positioning the characters in a row as firing line and baiting mobs but trying to achieve that made the game somewhat irksome to play, that and I think I basically saw what the game has to offer, the same situations are merely stacked upon each other.

Maybe I'm just shit at it, playing on normal already made it a quicksave simulator for me.
