Expeditions: Samurai

A lot of bugs for EA but if they polish it up, it should be a good game on launch.

Kleinere Bugs, wie manchmal haengen bleibende Crewmember, aber ansonsten schoen gemacht fuer einen Early Access. Was ich mir wuenschen wuerde, waere eine Einzelsteuerung von Chars waehrend den Missionen. das wuerde vieles erleichtern. Aber grundsaetzlich ein sehr guter Anfang. Ach und eine deutsche Sprachfunktion, nicht zwingend fuer die echt gut vertonten Gespraeche, sondern fuer die Erklaerungen der Einzelnen Perks.

More language?

Great Start! I cannot wait to play the full game!

i AM BEYOND STOKED. I had no clue until about a week ago, like many of you, that this game was even coming.. I absolutely love the expeditions series and I probably put 100 hours into Rome. It's rare I play a game that long these days, even rarer that I am hungry for more afterwards but suffice to say these games are made for me. Rich story, Well Written Characters with compelling dialogue I never skip, deep tactical combat that rewards creativity and strategy and above all else, passion and soul from the dev team. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for not letting this series die with the Studio Logic Artists, you will always be legends in my book.

The game is pretty polished for being JUST released in Early Access. The reviews I've seen seem to have the most complaints about the art style, which reminds me of the telltale series of Walking Dead games. It works well enough. The bugs are few, mostly just small things (random CTD. Only twice in six hours). The characters already feel fleshed out, with their own personalities and quirks. The combat is very similar to the other Expedition games and honestly I think it's going to be great. I'm really looking forward to what's coming, the game is very promising even at this early stage. The majority of early access titles out there feel more like pre-alpha, whereas this one feels like it's already pretty far along the development process. The key piece is how well and how often they update in the next year or so, but I'm very hopeful.

Samurai is shaping up to probably be the weakest of the series. But when comparing against the stellar Rome it is a tough one to go up against. Graphically it's ok, though I feel like all the character design went through an HR team. The writing is actually quite good and choices do really seam to matter. i have finished all the current content launched in EA so this is still subject to change. The Combat is not great, even on the harder difficulty I waltzed through it not a problem. They just had an update fixing stealth hopefully as going through an entire map stealthing with a musket though funny doesn't seem really realistic. Music also pretty decent. They are going to fix the trading as me having to guess how much they want for something annoying and a time waster. So far Samurai has a weak cocurrent player count and looks to have sold at most about 5K copies, I do think it will get finished but doubt this game games any extra time in the oven as it will most likely be a loss. But still I liked overall what I did so far so bumping it a positive.

Гарний початок! Я ще не пройшов перший акт, але вже чекаю на другий. Анімації персонажів на рівень краще ніж були в Римі, хоча візуальний стиль загалом простіший. Але він принаймні є, навідміну від доробок зроблених на unreal engine за останній час — всі ігри як близнюки. Консольний UI/UX звісно бісить, навігація персонажей по локації теж дратує трохи, але в цілому грається стабільно. В перщій же локації після прологу гравцю вже демонструють різноманітність способів досягнення мети, а бойова система схожа на попередні ігри серії з мінімальними змінами і це мені теж подобається. Зав'язка інтригує, персонажі може трохи стеріотипні, але мають потенціал. Навіть найпростішого персонажа можна розкрити в шось цікаве. Тому успіхів! Чекаю на другий акт
