Expeditions: Samurai

While I decided to give the game the benefit of the doubt, it just doesn't live up to previous Expeditions games. The writing is quite bland and some of the voice actors do a good job, others not so much. They really leaning heavily into the let's do english with accents. Which sometimes works but other times just sound very strange. The first time Raina talks to you, it sound like she is sped up at 2x speed. I'm also assuming they want to lean on the succes or hype of the previous Englishman in Japan stories? But why not make it a fully Japanese/samurai game, some thing that actually represents the title of the game like every other Expeditions game was before this? The gamplay is simpler then Rome, but clunky. This needs some fine tuning. And the biggest complaint is the Artstyle, while menu's look nice, the open world, characters and portraits just look too cartony and a clear downgrade from Rome.

Habe schon das erste Expedition Spiel gespielt und bin ein grosser Fan der Reihe. Die rundenbasierten Kämpfe sind in der Expedition Serie einfach super umgesetzt und machen enorm viel Spass. Expeditions: Samurai hat mich sofort gepackt und ich bin in die Welt voll eingetaucht. Die Story und das Setting sind toll gewählt und ich bin gespannt wie ich mit meiner Crew überlebe und wie es weiter geht! Ich finde sie haben die besten Sachen der Serie in das neue Spiel eingebaut. Super finde ich auch, dass die Geschichte / RPG Elemente wichtiger sind. Der Graphikstyle war zuerst etwas ungewohnt für mich, je länger ich jedoch spiele umso besser gefällt er mir, da er wirklich liebevoll umgesetzt wurde und auch in in Menüs konsequent gestaltet wurde. Bereits jetzt im Early Access sieht man das Potenzial des Spieles. Ich bin überzeugt im vollen Release wird dies ein grossartiges Spiel, vor allem für Leute welche sich für Rundentaktikspiele und Geschichte interessieren. Wenn es zudem noch in Deutsch erscheint wird es gewiss das Spiel des Jahres für mich werden.

Exciting and difficult choices, complex fights, great setting, I recommend!

Все основные плюсы и минусы уже давненько расписали, я как фанат серии Expeditions с ними согласен, как по мне игра ближе к Викингам, чем к Риму, от себя я бы еще добавил не совсем понятные статы различной брони, будтоб в ммо, тут тебе 10% от огня защита, тут 5% от яда, что вызывает большой диссонанс, что обычная броня ну не особо и хуже мега крутой синей, а так игра хорошая, Русик я думаю завезут, фанаты серии Expeditions, берите, ну и поднимем рейтинг игры хотя бы до в основном положительные

[quote] Love RPG? [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39973073/]Make sure to Follow my Curator Page[/url][/quote]The series is evolving toward classic party-based RPGs. Choices have become more meaningful, as have relationships with companions. There's less strategy, more tactics and character development. The story is extremely classic, but nonetheless engaging. The combat is top-notch. The game left a good impression. ✔️8/10 [quote] And don't forget to [url=https://www.youtube.com/c/WizardWorm?sub_confirmation=1] Subscribe to my Youtube [/url][/quote] [quote] Join my [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/wizard_rpg] Steam Group [/url] [/quote]

El juego deja mucho que desear en el apartado argumental. El cliché de ser un inglés llegado a Japón, con su correspondiente choque cultural, ya está más que mascado (Shogun, El último Samurai...) y esperaba poder jugar como un samurai japonés en un juego que trata del japón feudal. Supongo que no hemos aprendido nada del flop de Assasin's Creed Shadows, o quizá Expeditions no tiene cuota de mercado en el propio Japón, porque no puedo imaginar a jugadores japoneses contentos de jugar a un juego que va sobre su propia historia en la piel de un inglés. Una pena que para cuando descubres que el juego no va a ir a mejor y va a seguir estancado en el rollo de las diferencias culturales entre occidente y Japón, ya llevas más de las 2 horas de juego que te permiten el refund conpleto. Sin más, una decepción.

That's not an "expeditions" game ... It's bad ...

Steam Deck player - works perfectly fine out of the box with full controller support, similar to Expeditions: Rome. If you already like the Expeditions series, like I do, then you're probably going to like this as well. I haven't finished the entire 8-ish hours that the EA version has to offer but my thoughts so far are: - This probably won't be as good as Expeditions: Rome, even in its final form. - I hated the art style whenever I saw it in screenshots or videos. Strangely, it didn't bother me as much when I was actually playing the game but I still feel I need the wrong direction entirely for the game to take. - I like the CRPG choices you get to make. In the first few minutes, you decide who lives and dies between two crew members. Not long after you need to get your weapons back and have to choose whether to break into the manor of the local Lord who is hosting you or raid some nearby bandits to take their gear. I dig it. - Voice acting has been fine so far. Nothing spectacular but perfectly serviceable. - I like the companions so far. Piet and Anje are standouts for me so far, and there is some internal politicking with Johan that intrigues me. - Combat is the same as Rome. I liked it in the last game and I like it here. - Writing seems good so far, aside from some Marvel-style quippy dialogue choices for your character that are terrible but you can ignore those completely. - Steam Deck controls work perfectly by default, pretty much the same layout that Rome had. Based on my experience so far, I want to finish the entire EA content.

exceptionally bugged and most of the time unplayable
