Bandit Realms

Came out two days ago?! Do... Do I get to leave the first review? Do you like Fire Emblem, but wish it was more simple and that you could take over cities? Boy do I have a game for you. Reminiscent of Battle Brothers (groups roaming map procedural) without the story plus a little bit of Civilization (hex/city management). Many quality of life issues currently 1.AI turns take long even in fog of war 2. no auto end turn or even a button prompt, 3. Restart for monitor resolution change (and still pixelated text on max), etc.. The game should be in early access, but it has potential. Bright spot was the video tutorial recordings. Experienced my first crash turn 7 after an hour of gameplay. Autosave is every turn so not terrible, but buyer beware. Would I buy it full price knowing what I know now? Probably not. But I'm keeping it to support the dev. Excited to see it evolve beyond rock/paper/scissors weapon advantage. Battles felt repetitive after an hour and difficulty is based on a preset number of guys lost per battle. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent, once you get past the tree hexs ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☑ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☑ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ 6 / 10 }--- ask me again in a year
