[h1]Needs more work[/h1] I wanted to like this game. I loves me some Lovecraft and this game looked like it would scratch my Outer Godly itch for chaos. What I got was a developer half-assing Lovecraft. It is enough to say i bought this game for a dollar and I still refunded it. No joke. It feels less like a proper game and more like something i;d find on early access. So let's list the faults: - Poor UI. Seriously. The choice of font the developer uses makes reading a literal pain. Pro-time. Try a clean clear serif when doing your UI text. Never mind that the UI itself is very uninformative. - Graphical Glitches. Yeah i managed to encounter a glitch wherein the map would only render as a blue screed. COuld still access and click on locations., Could still see them and all. - Unskippable tutorial. Need I say more. WHat's worse is the tutorial actually does a pretty piss poor job of explaining stuff. It walks you through a combat and unit creation scenario but really does little to explain why and why not, leaving you to guess at a lot of things - Unsatisfactory game play. I won two maps...and I gotta say. I didn't feel any elation or joy from it. There's no real catharsis in success. SO is there anything good to say about the game? It tried something interesting i think, but it failed miserably at the implementation. What's worse all the problems I've listed could have been avoided if the developer had spent a little more time and a little more effort on testing. Heck they could have been fixed with a few patche post release All in all this game feels like a bad M. Night Shyamilan film; lots of wasted potential. My advice, is to steer clear.
I can play as the Great Old Ones instead of Investigators, how cool is that! About the theme: Compare to other Cthulhu game, this one is more like a hardcore board game or a strategy game. Maybe this reverse setting is also the reason why this game has less horror and darkness, more killing and deploy forces. Gameplay: The skills of Deities, servants and investigators are stunning. In chapter 2, each level has 2 different investigator skills, which made me have to change talent skills every time I enter a new level, and develop different combinations. It’s kind of hard, but also brainy and fun. For beginners and gamers don’t know Cthulhu Mythos, it may be hard to understand SAN and Threat. And there also are many hidden rules that you can only discover in the game. It is interesting for senior players, but a background introduction or a more detailed tutorial may be friendlier for novices. Operation: This game looks simple but actually has very complex contents. I believe there is still space for improvement for the operation of moving servants. It’s kind of dizzy to move servants to a spot on the other side of the map. I recommend this game for its delicate Deity, Servant and Investigator skill design, it is definitely a great choice for people who like challenge.
Elder Chaos is a fun little puzzle/boardgame where you play the villian trying to take over the universe. You have six different deites you can choose at the start of each stage with their own unique power. PROS: You play the villian! Cheap Requires some degree of skill CONS: Game is not very deep. It can feel repetitive. Lack of hardware support (The resolution can only go to 1080p.) Lack of replayability Although there are a lot of cons, the game is cheap, and is probably worth the few hours you can get out of it.
Poorly explained summary, as well as the tutorial not even nearly explaining enough of what the game is about. It plays like a mobile game along the lines of Angry Birds of Collect the Stars, beat the stages, not as it is advertised a video board game where u play as the Eldritch Horrors of Lovecrafts mythos
Funny game. It isn't yet completely finished, but it is fully playable and it grows on you as you learn the level of strategy and tactics involved. PROS Fantastic illustrations of each character and monster. The game boards looks inviting and not too overcrowded, but the geography of the Earth is rather bad, especially Europe. I have never seen anyone depicting England as connected to the mainland. And the Baltic Sea is nonexisting. These are details, however, and they do not have any significance on the gameplay at all. There is an ok introduction to the game and the game mechanics, but don't expect to understand the game before you have made it to Stage 2 on the world map. You will need to know and understand several core facilities, their placement and not the least how to attack investigators in the most suitable manner. There are some strategy and tactics involved in this game and you will soon discover that brute force will not get you very far, exept in big trouble. Sanity plays an important role as you will learn. I grew more fond of the game as I progressed and undeerstood the different layers it have. The music is ok and oddly strange without taking the focus away from the game. I like it. CONS The English is somewhat poor throughout this game. It would perhaps be tolerable if it didn't had any influence on the understanding of the game, but it does unfortunately. The errors are a mix of bad grammar, typos (that everyone could have caught on a quick proof reading) and nonsensical sentences. The Victory Condictions are poorly explained and in-game you can suddenly experience Defeat, out of the blue, without ever understanding why you were defeated. There is a brief explanation of the VC of each level, but they seems unattached to the actual VC when you play. It is very weird and makes you lose confidence in the game. Disappointing and discouraging. If they fix the English text, it would greatly improve the playability and quality of the game. Should be easy. Some of the areas in the game remains undeveloped for some reason. They cause havoc when you click on them and will freeze the entire game, so you would have to reboot all over. Don't click on the "Custom Mode", for example, it is empty and your program will freeze.
didnt even bother playing it for more than 5 minutes. awful graphics and bad english. looks sounds and feels very cheaply made. got it on sale and i still feel cheated. you should probably read a review by someone that could stomach putting more time and effort into playing it, but i just couldnt do it. (yuck)
最后大结局:你们都会死 游戏性喜欢玩的喜欢玩-不喜欢玩的一点也不带玩的-刚开始很难玩明白-但是以我关卡全满星的经验来看-前期用精神攻击流比较不错 开局做一个反刍池--做两个真理神庙升满级--做5个飞水蛭-把金字塔升到2级--在金字塔做一个远古守卫-之后全做夏盖虫族-之后就是多做金字塔多做夏盖虫族-夏盖虫族多起来调查员出生基本就死-等待胜利就好了----------- 后期的话可以用无线金钱折磨流来过-去天赋里把无尽折磨点开-然后开局做5个满级真理神庙-等到钱有650的时候就可以放技能了-技能是什么无所谓-这个打法后期基本不缺钱-你每次放技能都会重置探员的调查时间(蓝条)看调查员蓝条快满了就放个技能-就做到了调查员永远都不能调查出来东西 第3章第4关有圣光属性全程不能产钱---我称为双杀守塔流 技能带暗杀-魔神带那格与耶布(要注意的是魔神技能只有120伤害--暗杀不管多少血都能杀死)开局的钱只够做一个2级祭坛和2个一级祭坛-建哪里无所谓了---主要还是看运气--守住祭坛就行---看哪个探员要过来就用技能杀了就行-主要还是要守住2级祭坛 烈火焚身成就可以去低级关里试试运气-设施四个怪三个人就够了
之前在杉果喜加一的小游戏,设定还算有趣,扮演古神降世什么的。 只不过UI实在太丑了,游戏性略差,勉强算是策略类? 玩的有点不明不白,如果是很擅长这类游戏的或很喜欢克苏鲁神话的应该能来电吧。
Очень понравилась тема игры. Графика приятная, механика проверенная. Что может пойти не так? Геймплей. Я был готов простить всё что угодно за неплохие арты лавкрафтианских ужасов, но игра настолько не может в обратную связь, что пришлось вернуть с тяжелым сердцем. Купленную за 15 российских рублей, да. Интерфейс не подсвечивает никакие важные события. Призванные монстры пылятся в храме. Итоги боя улетают на дно лога. Остановленное время само и молча запускается обратно. Каждое действие нужно сопровождать подтверждающим кликом в другой половине экрана. Играть, к сожалению, невозможно.
操作及其反人类,拿克苏鲁当噱头,画质粗糙,不推荐购买
