Frozen Synapse 2

Really fun game that feels true to the Frozen Synapse gameplay, and a kind of real-time city strategy the likes of which I don't think I've ever seen before. To summarize, this game is basically Frozen Synapse + Mount and Blade Warband, but in kind of a bad way. Since Frozen Synapse (I'll call it FS from now on) is a squad tactics game, there's some weirdness where it borrows from the Warband formula. For example, because it considers itself a tactics game, there's no auto-resolve feature, meaning you have to play through every single fight, even overwhelming ones you'll definitely win. And also because of this, the AI is designed to try it's absolute best to win, which includes what I'd call "badgering tactics". Some peaceful factions, will constantly call you begging for stuff, and even when you invest significant money into keep your relationship good, if you don't eventually give them what they ask they'll attack you, and you want to avoid war as much as possible. Not because you won't win.. If you put in the time you can win almost every single encounter, unless you're completely outnumbered and far from support. But because then when you go anywhere, or own any property, that faction will send harrying forces, that have no real chance of victory, but will stop your squad from progressing and take up 20 minutes of your real time. That might sound fine in theory, but let me step back a little. There's like 11 factions, who each have at least 6 squads (you start with one), and when you start playing at scale you'll have at least 6 squads and 4-5 properties that all need defending. This means even completing very simple jobs, like "deliver this here" can take over 3 hours realtime because of how many times you can get attacked moving 4 blocks, both the squad that is on a mission and any defensive forces you have. It's extremely tedious gameplay and NEEDS to be tweaked for any living human to realistically play. I also had 90% consistent crashes when fighting in certain areas, which resets the entire encounter. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but when that represents a 30-ish minute loss of progress through no fault of your own.. it's a big deal. I would really like the format of this game if it was made a little less tedious, had customization options, or if I could fight against real human players in the city sandbox that would fight more reasonably. Overall I just think everything needs to be turned down so I can actually play. EDIT: I came back to try this game, almost all of this review is still accurate. multiplayer is non-functional because the login servers are down now. It seems like a lot of the load crashes are gone, but I experienced an un-winnable encounter in my new game. You might wonder how unwinnable? It is impossible to path to the enemy, and impossible to see them. I really want to like the game, but to launch and support this game this long without yet making a functional sandbox.. it's unforgivable. Don't buy.

Классика, жаль, что игр такого жанра почти не осталось.

naahhhhh man its just not that

병신같은 게임. 게임의 아이디어는 매우 좋으나, 밸런스와 컨텐츠 측면에서 미완성 상태이며, 제작진이 업데이트와 서버 관리를 포기한 결과 완전한 쓰레기가 되었음. 예를 들어 Steam에서 구입했음에도 불구하고 인게임에서 추가적인 로그인을 요구하는데, 패스워드를 잃어버리는 순간 다시 되찾을 방법이 없음. 패스워드를 찾기 위한 절차를 수행해도 그 어떤 메일도 도착하지 않으며 랜덤하게 암호화된 네 계정은 그대로 잠겨버릴 것임. 이 문제에 대해 제작진은 그 어떤 조치도 취하지 않음. --------- Terrible game. While the game idea itself is very good, it's incomplete in terms of balance and content. The developers abandoned updates and server management, turning it into absolute garbage. For instance, even if purchased through Steam, the game requires an additional in-game login. If you lose your password, there is no way to recover your account. Password recovery attempts don't work since no recovery emails are ever sent, leaving your randomly encrypted account permanently locked. The developers have not taken any measures to address this issue.

烂尾了，不如去买破门而入2

A tactical game where you give orders, and then they play out in real time simultaneously with your opponents. Frozen Synapse 2 adds a strategic layer where your squads travel around a city, and you can do missions on the behalf of factions. However I find both the tactical layer and the strategic layer mystifying. The tactical layer controls are rough, and winning a fight requires a level of specificity as your units follow your orders exactly to the letter and will do very little unless you tell them to leading them to die blundering deaths because you didn't have them look a specific way before waltzing passed an enemy. The strategic layer is just as confusing as there are times I wasn't sure how to complete some missions. I loved the open city and idea of allying with different factions, reminiscent of X-COM: Apocalypse, but this game is a miss for me.

Se nota que está incompleto, el servidor multi no funciona y los desarrolladores de Mode 7 lo abandonaron hace mucho. Es frustrante que ocurra con uno de los pocos tácticos con sistema WEGO. Da la sensación que no son conscientes de la maravilla que habría sido FS con un poco de cariño. No creen en sus propios juegos. En mi opinión "Frozen Synapse Prime", incluso sin multi, es el mejor, aunque en Steam se lo han quitado de enmedio. Tal desidia puede deberse a motivos económicos o bien la gente recela de la incertidumbre del sistema WEGO. En todo caso no puedo recomendar FS2 en el estado actual. Una pena.

Первое обучение бою - непонятное, большинство функций не объясняется вообще, как стрелять из-за препятствий тоже. Ну, думаю, ладно, потом разберусь. Пол часа промучился после окончания обучения на карте - таймер не включается. Перезагрузил, снова выбросило в конец обучающей миссии. Прокликал оставшееся обучение, вроде пошёл таймер. Отправил отряд на первую миссию, подвалил отряд врагов раза в два больше моего. Но я то в обороне, порвать их должен! Как бы не так. При моделировании не моделируются движения противников, каждого надо моделировать вручную. При запуске движняка игра тупит, как будто заново загружается каждый раз. В общем оказалось, что мои парни не стреляют сидя за препятствиями. Никаких указателей на это при постановке фокуса цели нет. То есть он целится, но пока не зайдёт враг ты не поймёшь будет ли он вообще туда стрелять. В итоге меня закономерно разобрали на лего-бэтмана: бэтман отдельно, голова с ушами отдельно. Фигня война, запустил перезапуск миссии. И вот тут пошло самое интересное: на 2-3 шаге игра стабильно вылетает. Сохранить игру вручную перед миссией кстати нельзя. То есть или откатывайся опять на середину обучения, или начинай игру вообще заново. Полез в коммунити - на проблему ругаются уже третий год, и собственно третий год разработчики не отвечают и не выпускают патчей. То есть игра заброшена. Плюнул, запросил возврат. Как только совести хватило её на распродажу выставить? Хотя тут как раз понятно - пока в ней разберёшься, можно часа два-три убить, а после двух часов игры стим уже возврат не делает.

La franquicia Frozen Synapse no es para jugadores casuales de juegos de estrategia táctica. Se tiene que aprender a degustar, y una vez lo consigues, es una maravilla. El lore tiene una gran riqueza, la mecánica hace trabajar a la cabeza y la banda sonora (nervous testpilot) es una auténtica delicia. Además, si te interesa aprender Inglés, ayuda muchísimo. Ojalá hubiera más jugadores online, porque en el 1v1 es un gozo.
