Möbius Front '83

this game didn't click for me, until I realized that it *is* in fact a zachtronics puzzle game, just with a different language, and switched my expectations accordingly. each level is carefully designed to give you a puzzle, and the tools to solve it. how are you going to hold out with almost nothing until reinforcements arrive? how are you going to blitz through this recon mission before *their* reinforcements arrive? how can I get rid of their artillery so my infantry can survive long enough to ambush their armor? there's a bit of wiggle room to fit your own style, but you *will* need to adapt to each scenario. you need to use all the tools the game gives you, not just what worked last time. the only reason these levels don't have a score tracker like classic zachtronics puzzles do is because maximizing score would involve rng manipulation. the rng is here to shift your focus away from micromanagement, and into strategies that mitigate bad luck. the enemy ai does the same, and you *should* be leveraging that behavior for area denial, baiting, etc. it's a really well designed game, and I wish more people could appreciate it. I don't know if I'm just the perfect target audience for this, or if a lot of people expected the usual zachtronics game language and felt too disoriented by the shift.

그래픽과 음악, 게임성이 감각적입니다. 미니멀리즘이 돋보이며, 고정된 맵 안에서(일단 초반 미션만 해 봤습니다) 미지의 적과 싸우는데, 생각보다 쉽지 않습니다(저는 이런 장르에 있어 초보입니다). 만만해보이는 그래픽의 첫인상과 달리 생각보다 머리를 쓰지 않으면 첫 스테이지부터 난관에 부딪칠 것입니다. 영어는 비교적 쉬운데, 구글 번역앱을 통해 카메라 실시간 번역을 사용해도 됩니다. 개인적으로 이런 세심한 픽셀그래픽을 좋아하고, 밀리터리, 헥사 맵을 좋아해서 여러모로 호감이 가고, 앞으로의 플레이도 기대됩니다. 구입을 망설였는데 제법 만족스럽습니다. 이런 감성을 이어 후속작이나, 메카물, 공중전, 해상전이 포함된 2차 세계대전 또는 현대전 등의 전략게임이 나온다면 기쁠 것 같습니다. 구입하길 잘했다고 생각합니다.

My only negative zachtronics review I'll ever give - and actually, it doesn't even look like a bad game! BUT, it's seemingly unplayable entirely on modern macbooks, and because zachtronics is defunct, looks like I wont be able to play

divertido

The presentation, art, aesthetics = WOO. The tutorial was tedious and makes me not want to play the game again. You dully click through a set of instructions and the dummy enemies don't shoot back. Clearly the tutorial could have involved fun "real" mission action, but it doesn't. It was also tedious to move foot-soldiers through a forest one move at a time... Just give us a transport helicopter, there! The gameplay on the surface feels like Advance Wars on GBA in the movement and attacking, but a different style. I wish it had gamepad support so I didn't have to hold my arm up for my mouse. I give a RECOMMEND because it's OK and the developers know what they're doing which is not the case in most games. I encourage the effort, which I do not do after playing most games.

It's a neat tactics game, a fun mini puzzle game, and also (yawn) cribbage. The puzzle component is okay as an optional diversion if you like those other zacktronics puzzlers. The tactics game starts off pretty easy, but then gradually gets harder. Some of the later levels constrain your options a bit too much at the start of the level which is not that much fun and i think this is done to increase the difficulty artificially because instead of playing on a large map you spend most of it playing on a small area without a lot of large manoeuvring. The story is told vaguely and with allusions to what's going on the way most horror stories are. There are elements in the level which are interesting, but i think they could have gone further with the map design and doodads in the level. The soundtrack really helps sell the whole story. Overall the game was alright. Maybe when i retire i'll try to get the 100 cribbage wins achievement.
