Showgunners

Showgunners is another turn-based combat game. Apparently, the law is that with these games you have to compare them with XCom, so I'll say that at least in this one there are no surprising enemies once the combat starts. In the game we _are_ a contestant in a game of killing _baddies_ for TV. The enemies are all apparently death-row inmates in what seems to be a post-apocalyptic world in which jails are overcrowded (Trying here really hard to not compare with current US.) After a number of episodes killing almost everyone in sight who isn't part of the cheering audience, the winner gets the opportunity to win some well-deserved money. The story will maybe not win a Pulitzer prize, but it's certainly better than I imagined. The gameplay is fun and engaging. I played with normal difficulty and it was okay, maybe a bit easy at times. Still, a harder difficulty, for me, would probably be frustrating and move the game to last a bit too long. As it is it lasted just the needed time. The game has a "DLC" that came free (So, literally DownLoadable Content, but not standard DLC the way it's normally understood, I'd say.) and adds a few interesting combats at the end. Don't forget to get it if it doesn't come already. I expected a filler game to rest my mind these days and got a good one instead. Recommended.

Really fun XCOM style tactics game with interesting enemies and characters. It's a shame that most of the characters don't have an arc, or any agency, and just go along with the MC, without any question or complaint. It feels like the creators had bigger plans for all of them, and the story in general, but in the end, all of it got cut for time or cost.

Смело рекомендую любителям тактики и X-com-о-подобной в частности. Скажу честно, получил большее удовольствие, чем даже от пройденной перед этим JA3, которая в каждом из аспектов без вопросов выигрывает. Но вот в целом, не зацепила настолько JA3 как сабж, может как раз из-за комплексности. Shadowgunners при банальнейшем сюжете, ненужном пафосе ( перемешанном, правда, с черном юморцом) , простоте механик и камерности локаций цепляет драйвом битвы и обилием персонажей со своими способностями. В общем, странно как она мимо пролетела, хотя и висела целую вечность в списке желаемого.

short and sweet review here. solid short tactical turn based game with reat visuals and decent voice acting. I beat it in 21 hours and have no regrets. I recommend this game if you want a tactical game that is not too long set in a running man ish universe.

賽博龐克及反烏托邦的氣氛營造得很好，但是整體流程偏短、流程固定，部分機制沒有好好發揮之下造就了在暴力血腥瘋狂的美術及背景設定外皮下，只是一款中規中矩較為陽春的回合制戰術遊戲，另外遊戲探索部分的解謎還蠻見仁見智的，可能有人喜歡也有人不喜歡，整體難度偏低，對這種回合制戰術遊戲有興趣的新人可以可以趁打折時買來用最低難度來體驗看看，雖然老手可能覺得有些不過癮，但是還是可以嘗試加入這款瘋狂真人實境殺人秀，美術跟氣氛還是很有趣的。

Great

游戏是好游戏，如果不算每天闪退20次的话。身体交换之祸咯！

AWESOME GAME! Graphics - Not the most realistic or refined, but they are good enough for me. The blood and gore work great. The character models are nice. The best part of the graphics is the world building. A lot of attention and care were put into this game's background Combat - Has the tactical elements of xcom mixed with the old movie "Running Man." If you like tactical games, this is definitely for you. They add enough characters and enemies to keep the matches fresh. Gameplay - When you are not in combat, you are thrust into a world of traps and an announcer. The traps require fast movement and timing, the puzzles require brain power. Story - Basic story. Could be better or more in depth, but it gets the job done and it was not the focal point of the game. Negatives - These are less negatives and more "If they did this, it would be better." A more in depth skill tree because the ones they have are pretty basic. Add more custom modeling. Increase Fame rewards. All together, this is one of the best tactical games I have ever played! Definitely recommend if you like tactics games and/or puzzles.

Ich bereue nur eins - dass ich das Spiel so lange aufgeschoben habe. Für Fans der XCOM-Reihe und Chaos Gate ist das Spiel ein MUSS. Ist geil und unterhaltsam.

Очень приятная игра
