Quasimorph

Quasimorph is one of those games that looks much deeper than it actually is. After the initial novelty wears off, the whole experience becomes incredibly shallow and repetitive. It feels like most missions boil down to doing essentially the same thing over and over with slightly different enemies and locations. The difficulty is inconsistent. During a mission the difficulty seems manageable until a bunch of enemies you cant kill mob you and one shot you. It does not feel like a natural difficulty curve it feels arbitrary and poorly balanced. The UI makes everything worse. Basic information is far more cumbersome to find than it should be. Trying to work out which space stations want which items, what they are buying, and where to take specific goods is needlessly awkward because you have to close the space station UI and check your ship inventory to see if you have it, by trying to memorise the icon of the item. The durability mechanic applies to your backpack, which is stupid. This may cause you to have your bag destroyed mid mission and all your items fall on the ground and no way to carry them out of the mission. The food mechanic seems redundant - it reminds me of stamina in Diablo 2. Why is it even there? The music appears to be AI generated. I seriously doubt that the devs engaged a musican to make this music. The game gives the impression of complexity without offering enough depth to justify the grind.

The loop goes something like: start out choosing a 1 or 2 skull mission because that should be easy, learn the hard way that power concentration may be more relevant for difficulty. Walk up to door, press spacebar so you have 2 action points to both open it and hide, win firefight. Took blunt damage, use splint to heal. Splint didn't work, use splint. Cool, that worked. Walk up to door, press spacebar so you have 2 action points to both open it and hide, win firefight. Took piercing damage, use bandage. Bandage didn't work, use bandage. Cool, that worked. Speculate over what loot to keep or toss because I am a greedy goblin and inventory space is extremely limited. Walk up to door, press spacebar so you have 2 action points to both open it and hide, win firefight. Took piercing damage, (insert cuss word) I'm out of bandages, luckily I've collected all these rags. Use rag. Rag didn't work, use rag. Rag didn't work, use rag. Cool, that worked. I have an infection from using rags, use antibiotics. Antibiotics didn't work, even though they have an 80% chance of success, and at this point I am baffled at the odds of needing to re-use some of these items, use antibiotics. Cool, that worked. Speculate over what loot to keep or toss because I am a greedy goblin and inventory space is extremely limited. Smoke a ciggy because Quasimorphosis meter is getting out of hand. (insert cuss word) now I have a nicotine addiction, use painkillers. And so on... Point being, this game feels cumbersome, like I am wading though mud. I like SRPGs and many games similar to this. I like difficult games and figuring things out on my own. I have a pretty solid extraction rate. The problem is that it just isn't fun and there are many obtuse systems and UI choices. If the above sounds fun to you, I am convinced this is a good game, but it's not for me and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

Годами ищу игру похожую на TimeZero и похоже наконец-то ее нашел. Не знаю играли ли разработчики в TZ в свое время, но от игрового процесса я ловлю максимально похожие ощущения) Успехов и продаж побольше, игра топ!

Пока что непроходимое квазига...вно. Слишком сложная , с невыносимо корявым балансом , неудобным и непонятным ui меню , миссии на время , по истечении которого тебя ваншотит какое то мурло. Идиотски огромные карты по которым ты бегаешь , ища лифт , после смерти тебе дают набор предметов с которым ты помрешь примерно так же как и в предыдущий раз. Разработчики 6 лет делали эту поделку? Как же прекрасно они провели это время что теперь игрок себя в игре чувствует так отвратительно.

Was fun at first but gets very tedious. The game says its a turn based RPG but its more of a sandbox dungeon crawler, with 1 dimensional gameplay. Ui has some annoying quirks and certain info for items as well as mechanics are hidden or obfuscated. The Ai is terrible. Sometimes it wigs out and ignores you while you shoot it to death from 2 football fields away other times it has ESP and detects you through closed doors, randomly opening them to blast you out of cover. Not to mention your allies will be all too happy to full auto you in the back of the head if you are between them and whatever. If they fix the AI and improve the UI I might change the review in the future but for now I cant recommend the game.

absolutely incredible

Difficult. Confusing. Much to learn. This is one of those "what tf did I do wrong?" "what I'm supposed to do?" games. If you enjoy hardcore and frustrating games that purposely makes you miserable, sure. This is an overstatement. But you get the idea. And, such games tend to come with another problem: you aren't supposed to rant about the difficulty, or a bunch of old farts who played the EA for thousands of hours will tell you to git gud. Recommended for true hardcore enjoyers with a ton of patience. Not for everyone else.

its almost fun, i guess? If you like ridiculously hard games then this might be good for you but the difficulty comes from luck and a crazy amount of in game knowledge that it just doesnt teach you. If you want to put the time in to researching everything before even playing then sure but with the nature of extraction shooters and how time progresses is this game, at a certain point you just have to restart the entire game which can get grueling after awhile. Like, there definitely is a person that would enjoy this game, and its got its interesting ideas, but for the level of studying required to figure out whats going on, I dont think this game would be right for most people.
