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

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?rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ June 20th, 2025, 19:3690% positive reviews
We have a review key, you know...
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.Lord of Riva wrote: ↑ June 20th, 2025, 19:57How 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?rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ June 20th, 2025, 19:3690% positive reviews

If you took Rusty's key then that's going to be THE most expensive game you ever got.

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

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.Acrux wrote: ↑ June 30th, 2025, 13:08Did you like Fallout Tactics?Lord of Riva wrote: ↑ June 30th, 2025, 11:09I'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.
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.Lord of Riva wrote: ↑ June 30th, 2025, 19:48Yes, I do. Played it 4 times in full.

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.Acrux wrote: ↑ June 30th, 2025, 20:53Interesting.

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.
