Loved playing the game until it started crashing my computer at load up. I reviewed the issues further and fount that it could be caused by the coding. I poked around in it and adjusted the Anti Antialiasing settings on the video card to application controled and still produced a black screen at load up. I have a newer windows 10 computer and....Well.... it was fun while it lasted..... adjusted code from - <Resolution>800 600 32</Resolution> to <Resolution>1920 1080 32</Resolution> and adjusted <FullScreen>0</FullScreen> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?> <TorqueGameConfiguration> <Company>Worthless Bums</Company> <GameName>Steam Marines</GameName> <Resolution>1920 1080 32</Resolution> <BitDepth>32</BitDepth> <FullScreen>0</FullScreen> <VerticalSync>1</VerticalSync> <CommonVer>114</CommonVer> <ConsoleKey>ctrl tilde</ConsoleKey> <ScreenShotKey>print</ScreenShotKey> <FullscreenKey>alt enter</FullscreenKey> <UsesNetwork>0</UsesNetwork> <UsesAudio>1</UsesAudio> <DefaultScene>^AppCore/data/levels/startLevel.t2d</DefaultScene> <CameraTrackSpeed>4</CameraTrackSpeed> <MonsterTurnSpeed>4</MonsterTurnSpeed> <AutoEndTurns>1</AutoEndTurns> <AutoSwitchCharacters>1</AutoSwitchCharacters> <AutoEndTurnSwitchCharacters>1</AutoEndTurnSwitchCharacters> <FadingFogOfWarToggle>0</FadingFogOfWarToggle> <EnemyCameraLock>1</EnemyCameraLock> <AutoLoot>1</AutoLoot> <FacingCostsAP>1</FacingCostsAP> <AutoFacing>1</AutoFacing> <AutoLock>0</AutoLock> <AlwaysShowCursor>0</AlwaysShowCursor> <AlwaysShowMoveIndicator>0</AlwaysShowMoveIndicator> <LargeFont>1</LargeFont> <MusicVolume>0.800000012</MusicVolume> <SoundVolume>0.800000012</SoundVolume> </TorqueGameConfiguration>
《steam marines》一款回合制战棋策略游戏,游戏采用的俯视角像素画风,乍一看挺像以前红白机上的游戏,但是游戏的玩法确实类似《xcom》的回合制玩法,也会有命中率、装备、补给等的设定。游戏的故事背景在太空,玩家需要在太空中穿梭完成任务。 [h1]游戏主要玩法[/h1] 游戏采用回合制战棋策略玩法,类似经典战棋策略游戏《XCOM》,只不过是采用了更加复古的画风,俯视角+像素平面画风,让玩家一下子回到了红白机时代。和《XCOM》类似,玩家需要操控小队,小队对然偶不同的武器配备和属性点,小队队员之间的配合很重要,算然也有命中率的设定。游戏的场景通常在太空飞船里,多以长直的通道为主,没有掩体的设定,其实这和《spacehulk tactic》很像。 [h1]总结[/h1] 一款复古的画风的类《XCOM》战棋策略游戏,发生在太空的故事剧情还是相当吸引人的,玩家操控的小队队员有不同的武器装备和技能属性,玩家需要做好配合。游戏总体上还是挺有特色的,不过偶尔出现的黑屏bug很让人头疼。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心,写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入,一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论,也麻烦点个赞,让更多人能够看到![/quote]
v hard game
Remember Space Crusade, the board game? This offers you the same experience transferred to your computer. You can even find many reference to the old X-com. Sure it suffers from lack of polishing the game play, but in some ways this obvious flaw does not bother if you play it hardcore. Heck, you are stranded on a ship wreck full of aliens, it is going to be ugly, messy and not all the stuff is going to go your way. If your into getting killed by the tiniest mistake, then, like listening to good music, this game gives you more than the simple act of playing instruments.
hard game but really fun.
This is below average indie game, nothing special about it, no great music, no good visuals, no enjoyable gameplay, nothing unique. It all comes at the pretty steep price all things considered.
It wasn't an entertaining game because I could only make a few moves and then always had to wait what felt like an eternity for my opponent to make all his moves.
EDIT 12/28/2020: It works again! That's some serious commitment by the dev. I love it for what it is, but it is what it is. FLAWS: -The random map generator is truly random. Rooms often make no sense. It very well could be that your marines are allowed to melee through walls solely because doors are never guaranteed. -Not a lot is explained. What do the items do? How do I drop things? The tooltips only tell you so much. But that feels intentional, since this is a roguelike and you're supposed to learn as you play. This really belongs under 'Features', but it may be a turn-off for you. -The difficulty curve. You'll fail the first few levels countless times, but once you get past a certain point you can't really fail on accident. This is less because you're getting the hang of the game, and more because you're leveling up in multiple areas simultaneously, so power growth is exponential and the game becomes much more forgiving. You'll know the first deck's enemies by heart, but you may only see the last deck once. To an extent this affects all roguelikes, but randomizing the deck order for each playthrough would have ameliorated this to some extent by making the first few levels of a run less monotonous. FEATURES: -Great art style. Retraux pixel art has been "in" for a while now, but this game actually pulls it off without feeling gimmicky. -I still hum the soundtrack every time I think of this game. Overall, the game is very atmospheric. -Lots of deadpan snark. "Radiation storm. Sarge gains movement points, but is sterilized." -The gameplay itself can be surprisingly satisfying. If you can get past the first deck, there are a lot of interesting enemies and gear. If characters survive long enough to level up, you make either-or upgrade choices that really differentiate their roles. On the flip side, losing a character is crippling because even if you replace him, he starts out at level zero, which only makes him less likely to survive. So, do I recommend it? Yes. What I'd really like to throw money at is this exact thing, but with better balancing, fewer bugs, and a better map generator. Maybe even more variety in weapons, items, enemies, tilesets, etc. There's a sequel in the works, but it doesn't have the same art style, and TBH that's a big part of the game's charm. Retro has been fashionable in indie circles for a few years now, but most games don't really capture that retro feel like this one does.
bad controls
A super difficult and interesting roguelike! If this is your favorite genre and you want something really hard and really odd, this is a great one to try out. The whole aesthetic/the themeing is also pretty neat.
