Moduwar

Honestly it's a pretty great emulation of a boomer RTS kind of game with a slightly more modern vibe. The cutscenes are quirky - Live-action with probably B-quality acting, but frankly A-quality sci-fi setups and some fitting modern animation. If Venture Bros got a live action that felt true to the quality of the show - and I mean that as a compliment - this is how it'd feel. The UI needs work. For one, you can accidentally grow modules through the module/organ selection grid and even when you have the game paused - Worse, sometimes it'll place on the tile you were last hovering over. As a perfectionist, it's also kinda frustrating that there aren't different isometric views - You can pan and zoom, but there's no rotation of the camera. Heck there's no plain top-down perspective, and you can't toggle a tile grid to see all present tiles unless you're trying to place a component on a specific spot (i.e. body tiles go on the "rim", while any organs go ON TOP of body tiles). I've noticed that it starts to lag once the player has 200+ tiles, especially on maps where there's more enemies. Units also need better collision handling with each other. Frankly I think that friendly units should have no collision with each other unless they're trying to merge back together. If not a near constant 'No friendly collision', then units should at least allow pass-through when one is stationary or doing something unrelated to another units movement - Then units who are attacking should push each other away/avoid each other a little more, because even now they can accidentally overlap. But beyond my gripes, I'm actually loving this game a lot.

Really interesting and fun game! My initial thought was that I preferred WASD camera controls over the default, and I felt the game's art style was a little "2000s," but I really loved the game; it doesn't feel like any RTS I've played, which is very refreshing overall... I'd give the gameplay a 6/10

x-- 7/10 --x This was such a treat to play! I loved how different the mechanics were to the usual RTS styled games. Some levels felt a bit finnicky, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable experience! Long Live FMV!! <33

A super fun game in my opinion. And the cutscenes are super cool as well! Also one of my favorite kinds of games where you play as an alien organism. Remember swarms for the win.

welcome back impossible creatures

Хорошая задумка - мало контента. Очень линейный прогресс, не очень удобный интерфейс. На любителя

The concept is really interesting. The controls are horrendous. I had to stop playing at the second mission. You have to grow organs and mouths to collect nutrients. Then, detache your mouths and some biomass to capture and store nutrients. Then you have to grow some more mouths and biomass to detroy a branch and kill some ennemies. First, the number of steps to do all that is waaaaaaayyyyyyy too high. Also, to detach part of your body, you have to select them, and the select tool is one of the worst I have ever seen it's impossible to detach what you want to detach, and your body parts will have a tendency to be all over the place, moving by themselves, and attaching each other by accident while you try to split/merge/move by hand. Oh, also, the real time video capture of actors... The acting is bad, the costumes and accessories are cheap, and apparently they don't know anything about how to film a movie. If two people are facing each other and talking to each other... Don't have BOTH of them looking at the same direction. The camera should be filming one actor looking to the left, and the other looking to the right, not both of them looking to the left, it feels like they are in two dfferent rooms and talking to a wall. I learnt that in MIDDLE SCHOOL.

a fun rts with both creative new mechanics and the style of the classics controls and pathfinding are a bit clunky though it is still in early access so if thats not too big a deal the ni cannot reccommend this game enough

I usually play RTS games strictly for the campaign, and Moduwar delivers! Every mission available so far has been interesting and fun—even on Normal difficulty, it offers a real, satisfying challenge without being frustrating. The overall mechanic to build up your Modu is just chef's kiss. It is an absolutely welcome twist to the genre. The amount of choices you have is super cool. I’ve honestly only scratched the surface so far. I admit I was mostly copying my opponents since my own creations didn't quite stand up to the challenge yet, but that just shows the depth of the system. I can't wait to test out more of my own creations in the other modes. I’ve played all the available campaign missions and I honestly can't wait for new missions to come out—I need to know where the story goes next! I was also surprised (and delighted) by the FMV cutscenes, which are an absolute gem—I love them to bits. On top of that, the music slaps hard and fits the game perfectly. It is an Early Access game and you feel it hear and there, there are some weird visuals some times and a few frame drops when the screen gets cluttered with little Modu pieces. xD But if you stumble across this treat of an RTS, you owe it to yourself to give it a try!

This is one of the best games ive played in my entire life
