Quasimorph

На данный момент неиграбельно. Выбор фракции вначале затруднён, поскольку надо постоянно летать туда сюда что бы выбрать НУЖНУЮ тебе фракцию, и то если там не будет рандомного квеста. Вместо отыгровки желаемой роли получается перелёт туда сюда по всей карте в надежде найти нужную фракцию и задание тебе по силам не в 1000 дней от тебя. Купленные вещи по умолчанию не переносятся в инвентарь от чего их нужно переносить лично, от чего есть ситуации где купил вещи, подумал что они уже в инвентаре и полетел дальше. Но нет они остались у продавца. Внезапные убийства из за спины полный кринж+стрём, сделайте нормальный радиус обзора или добавьте оповещение про противника сзади. Нет настройки и кастомизации внешности оперативников. Не прикольно играть за случайных болванчиков цель которых сдохнуть. 0 стимула играть аккуратно, нет привязки к персонажу. Игра разачаровала, жду улучшений баланса и рандома.

Turn based frustration simulator. If you play the tutorial you’ll be able to walk around and kill stuff. But after that, who knows what anything does. The game sure doesn’t want to tell you how basic systems work. The UI is horrible and unintuitive, the ‘mission screen’ is a block of numbers which mean nothing, who are these factions, here have a giant block of text. Every map is different but with the same ‘blocks’ do you like running through the same thing over and over? Where is the elevator? Well on this map its right next door, but on this map some how it is in the very last spot on the map I visit, which is impressive being able to do that consistently. Then there is the difficulty curve, you can be curb stomping the game just fine and then you’ll hit a mission that ‘seems’ just like the rest and you’re suddenly drowning in enemies and if you venture away from Mars some big ass monster is going to eat you. To be fair I like the monsters, especially the ones where your bullets do nothing and it just sits there hitting you for eight turns till you die. This game should still be in early access. Highly not recommended.

Only play this game if you absolutely hate your life.

АП: Как же зае**** эти афк толпостояния мобов за дверью в огромных количествах. Выманиваются ели-ели. Так же есть шанс, что после того, как ты простоишь в безопасном месте недалеко от такой двери ходов 50, тупо скипая их, в надежде, что вдруг мобы зайду, начинаешь подходить к двери, в стелс режиме, мобы решают чекнуть дверь, что приводит к смерти без каких-либо шансов на выживание. Просто ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ умирать от рандома, а чтобы минимизировать подобный рандом, нужно заниматься лютой ху****, которая никак не прогрессит тебя, как игрока, как казалось бы должно быть в рогалике. (Духота + скукота) * однообразие = *****. И это не самое страшное в игре, самое страшное, я бы даже сказал х**** то, сколько времени тратится на миссии, в которых происходит "формула" описанная в начале. И даже, если ты прошел это испытание, то главной наградой в конце миссии является не лут, а то, что ты не потерял своего перса и изначальную экипировку.

Not very polished. Played on Normal, character in really solid gear, gets oneshot by first mob in a 3 skull mission. OK game... Died multiple times during the tutorial... Ok Game... No quick Disassembly... Ok Game... Heres your thumbs down... Needs WAY MORE POLISH AND BALANCING before this is "Hard but Fun" right now its just to much RNG>> Update: The first aid kit that requires a bandage to craft doesnt stop lacerations... wtf...

rather boring, even after 1.0 this game has a problem a lot of bad roguelikes have which is there being no point, the point in this game is to just keep doing more of it battle brothers does this, this game does this when games like zomboid or CDDA do it they add things for you to do, the goal in those games is to survive after all but in this game there is not even a goal to survive the goal is to just keep doing more of the same thing and your reward is stuff that lets you do more of the thing you do not even money to watch it go higher and you feel rich, you don't feel rich in this game you just get to do more of it

Unforgiving but really well made blend of extraction shooter and traditional roguelike. The game takes place in a dystopian future where companies wage war against each other and demons are intruding in our plane of existence. You manage a private military company taking contracts for whoever thinks pays the best, including demons. The extraction mechanics allow you to bring stuff to the ship for upgrades, trading or just for future use in raids. Factions specialize in different things, for example the pharmaceutical company produces poisoned weapons, the mining company produces construction gear... All factions have a tech tree through which they progress over time, they battle each each other and the winners get stronger while the weakest get phased out. It's all playing out dynamically so you can back someone to make them stronger faster, think something along the lines of Mount & Blade on that point. The game features a lot of different weapons, classes and mercenaries with unique passives. Some of the classes sadly become irrelevant as the game progresses and faction power makes every room a clown car of enemies to fight. This is one of the things that can become a bit contentious for me, the power scaling in the later game just doesn't leave a lot of breathing room. In most planets and satellites, you'll be racing against the clock due to the Quasimorphosis meter which gauges just how easy of a time demons are having intruding in our dimension. It goes from 0 to 1000 ramping up in intensity: demon spawn rate and their strength. At 1000, all humans will transform into demons and a "Baron" will spawn, forcing you to kill it if you want to extract. Most of them are run ending if you aren't prepared, so if you think you're going to hit 1k it's best to pick a floor where you're set up. Demons feed on human misery so the counter goes up by a lot if humans are killing each other, this makes mid/late game long levels (3 floors and more) a bother because of the guaranteed Baron spawn. You'll get into a floor, see the meter spike at least 300 in a few turns because two factions are shooting each other and you'll be locked into a Baron fight for extract. Thankfully demons also have their uses and they'll whittle down the opposition more often than not. Overall, in spite of some frustrations and some balance decisions, the game really nails the "one more run" and dopamine hits of being a loot goblin of extraction shooters with the tactical aspect, decision making and rewarding of game knowledge of traditional roguelikes. A big recommend from me unless you're easily frustrated, but the difficulty is very customizable.

I certainly recommend trying Quasimorph out. It’s a pretty unique and neat game drenched in cool lore and atmosphere that also delivers a lot of really satisfying gameplay moments. However, in this review I’d like to focus on criticism in order to better explain what’s keeping me from fully enjoying it (and if you’re like me you’ll probably get the same impression). In short, Quasimorph is ultimately designed for tinkererers and min-maxers looking for “challenges”. It doesn’t let you simply have fun exploring and roleplaying. You’re supposed to either “get good” and trivialize everything or be endlessly frustrated by ridiculous bs the game throws at you. The main reason it feels this way is the fact you’re put on the clock from the very start of the run. Factions accumulate “tech level” over time getting better stuff meaning at some point you inevitably come to facing super hard enemies in every mission. Each time you travel the clock accelerates. In practice this means that unless you “get good” you’ll feel that you’re constantly being punished for “wasting time” and you get relatively weaker as the game progresses. Now this isn’t so bad on its own, there are other games with similar mechanics, such as Battle Brothers. The difference is that “getting good” in BB means knowing what your enemies’ strengths and weaknesses are and preparing accordingly. In Quasimorph the typical situation you’ll constantly find yourself in will be something like “I equipped my clone for a mission against a TL6 faction with that uses damage types A, B and C, too bad the game decided to spawn a guy wielding a TL8 gun with a damage type Z against which I have 0 resistances so he just instagibbed me”. What “getting good” in Quasimorph actually means is learning how to abuse its “builds”, “crafting” and “leveling up” systems. I put these in quotes because they work nothing like you’d expect. “Builds” in Quasimorph are represented by the class customization mechanic where you basically take a class and swap its perks for something else from another class. It’s an incredibly tedious trial and error process that should only exist as an additional option for completionists. Instead it’s a core system as without it 95% of classes just suck. “Crafting” in Quasimorph means getting a chip for a somewhat decent armor set and then absolutely maxing out every resistance type on it until you’re not affected by random damage type enemy spawns at all. Then you do the same with a couple guns and slap some implants on top. Again, something that should be completely optional is an absolutely necessary requirement for progressing beyond early-to-mid game. Same with “leveling up” (contrary to what the game presents as leveling up) - you take a clone and absolutely bust their stats utilizing the “genome” mechanic, such as giving them 500 HP instead of 90. The result is that instead of using your 15 or so mercs, with different classes, equipped with various armors and guns you’ve looted or bought, you’re supposed to use 1 or 2 super-giga-chad guys with a perfect custom “build” complete with a custom super-giga-armor Mk.I and super-giga-gun Mk.II just tanking any damage and overcoming any resistance. This is achieved by farming five billion tons of resources and just spamming upgrades. And if you don’t do exactly that roughly by mid-to-late game you’ll just die, over and over again, facing impossible odds in every mission. Sounds like fun? Well it probably is, for some players, but not for me. I don’t particularly enjoy getting essentially softlocked after 40 hours of gameplay because I didn’t pay enough attention to some abysmally boring mechanics. All I want is: pick a guy, pick a class that seems fun, pick some guns, shoot some dudes, loot some better stuff, trade some stuff, repeat. Apparently for Quasimorph that’s too casual which is a real shame because otherwise it’s a wonderful game.
