Broken Alliance

Los que me conocen saben que tengo un vicio importante al Heroes of Might and Magic III y en cuanto salieron noticias de este juego corrieron a informarme. Y, la verdad, hicieron bien. Aunque esté todavía un poco en sus primeros pasos (el juego está incompleto a fecha de escribir esta review), el juego ha conseguido cautivarme de una forma que no me esperaba. No sólo el pixelart es precioso y tiene muchísimos detallitos aquí y allá que llaman la atención a los que nos gustan estas cosas, además es que es un claro homenaje al juego al que he echado tantas horas, y otros tantos más. Es una carta de amor y es una carta a la que le han puesto muchísimo empeño y se nota. Vamos a ser honestos, algunas cosas están por mejorar, claro (o, simplemente, añadir). Y también creo que se ha tomado tan en serio su papel como homenaje que lo cierto es que el juego se siente de otra época. Es un juego que se juega lenta y tranquilamente, como los antiguos juegos de PC que requerían horas y aprendizaje porque estaban pensados para durarte hasta que te podías comprar otro, cosa que no podías hacer fácilmente cuando te llegaba un juego por navidades y ninguno hasta el siguiente. En un mundo en el que muchas personas tenemos la biblioteca de steam llena de juegos que ni tocamos, esto puede resultar un poco anacrónico, pero ahí creo que reside su principal encanto (también su principal debilidad). Jugar este juego se siente como sacar tu emulador para jugar al King's Quest IV o plantarte el el lector de CD para darle al Tzar. Es un juego de otro tiempo, con todo lo maravilloso que implica eso, pero si eso no es lo tuyo, puede que tal vez no te llegue tanto como me llega a mí. A mí, por lo pronto, me llega muchísimo. Eso sí, aunque sea un juego con aire a antiguo, no es en absoluto difícil de manejar o aprender, aunque nunca dejará de suponer un reto. Puede sorprenderte más de una vez, entrar a un combate creyendo que las tienes todas contigo y entonces un error de gestión te chafa la partida. Pero nada que no puedas solucionar, así que es desafiante en la medida justa, sin resultar frustrante. Si te está llamando la atención, y eres como yo, que echas de menos esos ratos de desconectar y echarle sólo cuenta a una pantalla de pixeles con largos muros de texto, creo sinceramente que deberías apoyar este proyecto. Puede que esté inacabado, pero si lo que está por llegar luce tan bien como lo que ya hay, cuando esté terminado será una obra preciosa y una a la que le puedo echar también muchísimas horas, como otras tantas de su mismo género y formato. Como dije, se nota el cariño y creo que ese cariño merece la pena que llegue a más gente.

2/10. This is so pretty. Such fantastic pixel art, and quite a lot of it. But that's the only good thing about it, otherwise it is an unfinished mess. When you review an early access game, do you give them a free pass on the badly designed or broken parts of the game, or do you review the game as is? As it is, this isn't much fun; the core gameplay, the turn-based combat, is poorly explained, and the UI is pretty unusable. But the glimpses of gameplay that you can see look very interesting. I am very hopeful that the devs will make the simple quality-of-life changes that would make this a fun game instead of a frustrating exercise. I do not think that it should even be in early access, given what I've seen, but rather a closed beta tested on people who have never played this game and certainly don't have the developers sitting next to them explaining each and every mechanic every time they run into a roadblock. But there is very clearly a lot of enthusiasm here, not just some kind of asset flip, and for that reason, I'm giving it a recommendation because I wish that in time, this will grow to be an exciting and fun turn-based strategy game with RPG characteristics, a genre I definitely enjoy. Meanwhile, this should be free or 99 cents at best. it is barely a tech demo, and it's been a long while since there was an update.

First thing: While I do recommend it for the right Audience and I see a lot of potential in the game, this thumbs up has some grains of salt that should not be overlooked. The game is a bit like classic Heroes of Might and Magic (especially HoMM 3), with great Pixelart that has a suprising amount of detail despite being so small sprites. You can see the love that was pourred into the design and especially the world building. Instead of "units" of creautres, each sprite on the battlefield is actually only 1 Creature, or better said a Hero who can gain EXP and Levelups. You can only deploy as many Heroes as the Enemy has Units, so cant just overpower them. This keeps the battles more Interesting IMO. The battle format is done with a set of cards, reminds me personally of Marvel Midnight Suns, but each hero has their on set of energy, a lot of cards can be used by any Hero, some are specialised. I like the battlesystem, but it might not be for everyone. Movement on the Map is not really round based and just like classical HoMM you can find hotspots with different uses (healing, buying, quests or just worldbuilding etc). You also have a Main City (it doesnt look like you will have more cities in the future atm), which you can expand, this gives you spells, healing or new cards for your battle deck. The prologue to the story is extremly well done, it is apart from the player Avatar (which I would change bc the Avatar is not choosable so she can have a voice) fully voiced and I personally really enjoyed the voice acting, but I understand if you dont like it or if the narrator can be a bit annoying (but then just shut off the voices). the Rest of the sound design is also pretty good imo. After the prologue a new button appears "new game", can be easily overlooked, as you can see in other reviews (in all honestly the reviews saying the game stops after the prologue and the rest promised on the game site was a lie and the dev responding that this is not true is what had me want to investigte further XD). There you can choose which factions story you want to experience (atm we have mission 1 of 2 factions). For these campaigns you design your own commander, you have the choice between 2 races for each faction and a lot of customisation options, which actually show up on the sprite as well (I talked about the detail already). I played the first mission of the first faction already and now started the one from the second (which is the last thing added). This all sounds good, if the game is your style, right? So why do I say to take the recommendation carefully. Well, at the moment the game is in a bad spot, it is playable and works and especially if you get it on sale you will probably be ok with the content you have at the moment. But sadly it could be that it will be all we get for the game. The developer explained that they are in a bad spot (their game Craftcraft sadly didnt sell to well either, which also meant that Broken Alliances lost financial backing). So sadly there wasnt any new update since June and there a lot of bugs, nothing that stops you from completing the main quests of a map and the prologue is so linear that it is almost unaffected. They range from minor, like repeated tutorial windows you can just close, to more affecting like spells not working in combat, to severe enough to stop you from completing side quests (which is sad bc the maps are filled with interesting little sidequests). I really really do hope the developer can get back on their feet or find another way to fund the further devolpment of the game (maybe a gofund me, so people can support without you needing to give them pledges/stretchgoals or some sort of financial support by your state or sth like that). If you want to help the Dev without paying money yet (which is totally understandable given the state of the game), I recommend at least wishlisting it to keep an eye on or checking out Craftcraft (cozy Craftingshop simulator with equally good VA like this games prologue). I wish the dev all the best. You have a game with high potential here and you have shown with the content thats already here that you are talented enough to pull it off!

Wowww, gorgeous pixel art.

初见本作还以为是类似英雄无敌的策略战斗游戏，实际体验后才发现虽然在探索部分很有传统英雄无敌这样大地图探索的感觉，但是战斗的部分反而是战棋加卡牌的结合，没有烧脑的排兵布阵反而是将对将的精英对垒。 目前游戏一共有四种不同的种族、清锚、天堂、火卫以及锻炉，每一个种族都有着其独特的背景和故事，玩家可以扮演其中之一来体验游戏，每个种族的基础设定都不相同，体验差别还是蛮大的，同样玩家会有一个主要城镇来建造各种建筑然后招募不同的英雄进行对战。 可以看到制作组在资源设计上是简化了英雄无敌这类策略游戏的机制，虽然也拥有数种不同的资源，但是基本各项指令操作仅仅需要一点点就可以，让玩家不用太考虑资源的问题，只需要建造对应的兵种和治疗等基础设施就好，对于卡牌游戏拉说这样的设定刚刚好，不需要在战斗之外太过烧脑。 同时在大地图的探索上也抛弃了行动值这一传统概念，想到哪里就去哪里，方便了不少，但是在探索途中千万别忘了自身的实力，多观察不妙你迎面撞上那些过于强大的野外营地。 至于游戏的战斗是比较有趣的部分，首先它的战场布局就是英雄无敌的六角格模式，只不过人物不再是单纯的行动条等模式，而是卡牌回合制，除去移动其他操作都需要通过相应的卡牌指令来施展，就比如同样是攻击，不同角色数值也完全不同，此外还有对应角色使用的专属卡牌，在战场上的特殊之处还是很多的，要想称霸大陆还是需要动点脑筋的。 总的来说《破碎联盟》是一款集策略、冒险和角色扮演于一体的回合制游戏。它不仅继承了经典回合制策略游戏的核心玩法，还加入了新潮的卡组构建机制，提供了丰富的剧情和角色互动。无论是策略游戏的粉丝还是RPG爱好者，这款游戏都值得尝试。 [quote] 游玩百态，将游玩心得用汉语化作玩家的指明灯，(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402408/]点击这里关注汉化语录~[/url] 如果喜欢这个评测，请点个赞让更多人看见 [/quote]

[h1]《破碎联盟》：令人着迷的像素复古奇幻世界[/h1] [h2]有着经典的感觉[/h2] 足够复古的画风，有着强烈RPG元素的策略游戏，本作的确感觉出经典作品的感觉，但是内容设计也是着实丰富。玩家需要在这个因为魔法而分崩离析世界里面，从自然“天堂”、科技“锻炉”、传统“清锚”和狂热“火卫”里面选择四大阵营其中的一个进行游戏，四大阵营有着各自的特点，然后可以发掘不一样的英雄和神器，以及卡组。开发者之前也有过热门游戏的开发经验，这次也是体现出市面上一些经典游戏的长处，可以说这次的游戏的确值得体验。 [h2]足够广阔的世界[/h2] 本作有着强烈的西式幻想世界的要素，采用经典策略战棋游戏的风格，但是也有着自己的东西在，首先复古的画风也是足够精细，像素风格看起来很有韵味，对于世界的塑造方面也很有自己的想法存在，玩家在这个世界的探索可以在棋盘内进行相对自由的发展，当然咯，还是前面所提到的那样，本作有着的是RPG元素，而不是单纯的策略游戏要素，玩家在战棋上进行行动决策的同时，也有着卡牌构筑的内容，对于英雄的成长本作给予的空间还是不小（甚至刚开始也是可以自定义角色），玩家在战斗中需要考虑的也有攻击和防御，地形对于战斗的影响等等，但是总体而言还是不算复杂，玩家是有充足的时间去思考自己的决策，卡牌本身也是多样，造成的效果也是丰富，这种战棋和卡牌的融合，且在复古像素画风的基础上，表现出来的效果是有些许复古和现代交融的感觉，让这个世界更有韵味。 [h2]令人期待的世界[/h2] 毕竟打造一个足够广阔的西方幻想世界不少那么容易，可能之前也是希望打造个策略游戏的背景板，但是游戏内容也是渐渐广阔起来，现在看起来也的确有种有着自己思考的世界，这个的确是令人着迷，虽然说现在的具体可玩内容还不是那么丰富，但是目前表现出来的水准的确是很有东西在，可以现在体验，或者是小小期待下。 [quote]欢迎关注鉴赏家: [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/37196866/] 稻荷窝 [/url] 只写我们喜欢的游戏 欢迎加入Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/daohewo] 稻荷的小窝 [/url] 来一起感受游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论，也是可以顺手点个赞哟[/quote]

emmmmmmmm这游戏开局教学就让人感到迷茫，真的不知道下一步要干嘛，不知道哪里可以点击，没有高亮，任务具体要怎么做没有提示，只能说被战棋方式骗进来了。反正我不喜欢。
