Sunderfolk

That's probably a very cool game and it looks cute. I love card crawlers and tactical\turn based games and maybe I will revisit it and change my mind later. But I really disliked the gameplay - I hated the huge cards and huge signs the size the half of my screen shoved in my face every single time I'd select a card and I really hated how the card would have the strickt sequence of actions that my character must perform. Like if I am at a good position to attack, I can't just attack, I have to move first 4 tiles around and then attack. And if it's not possible - I just either skip or can't attack from a new position. I literally couldn't even get through the tutorial part, because I found it quite asinine. And it wasn't even explained (in the tutorial part!), I had to google why the hell I can't attack or forced to move. Not for me, duck this.

Amazing game, played campaign single player, challenging difficulty, with 2 heroes. Perfect balance of challenge and fun! The story is great, characters are interesting (favourite is Wurmsbait). Not usually a fan of turn based strategy games but this one is special! Well worth it.

very slow and not worth the money

Fun at the beginning, gets worse and worse towards the end, culminating in the final battle. Has to be one of the worst designed bosses I've seen in any game. Pros: Fun to play casually as a couch coop for a while Cons: Story is made for literal babies, tiny tiny babies. Story sections feel tedious. City building is railroaded, and feels like a chore. Character building is extremely limited, and in the end doesn't really feel to matter.

This is an extremely solid and well done experience that deserves your attention if you appreciate collaborative turn-based games. I play with a group of three friends which I imagine is the ideal experience. The campaign is quirky in an endearing way with missions that can range from marvel avengers steam roll fests to tactical strategy planning. You need your phone as that's how you interact with your character and the town (people complaining about having to use your phone, it literally tells you. So don't be surprised.). If you've played Gloomhaven... this is Gloomhaven done in a much cleaner way. Accessible D&D. Accessible Baldur's Gate. This core group that I'm playing with are historically very temperamental about sitting down for games that ask a lot of their time, attention, and imagination. It's made Gloomhaven a complete no. This game has given everyone in the group something to enjoy by making the hard stuff engaging and fun and streamlining tedious bits. I play as a bird after all and I'm trying to bag a puffin. So make of that what you will. UX/UI is really clean and very satisfying. And aside from mission dungeon crawls the game is really about injecting loot into the town to boost the economy. So a lil town/econ sim. The game keeps all players engaged by periodically giving the steering wheel to different people at different times to do fun little things like naming buildings silly things in your town, creating a shared story grounded in your group. Again I kind of think this game wouldn't be ideal on your own for these reasons, but with a group, it's a banger. Idk... It's a great game. People giving it a negative review are just not paying attention. It should be an overwhelmingly positive rating.

Sunderfolk is a ridiculously charming tactical co-op RPG. The writing for the main campaign is well done and features a full cast of entertaining and lovable characters (except Peryll, screw that guy). It does (currently, an upcoming update is slated to offer mouse and keyboard controls) require a phone for each player to play, but don't let that discourage you. The phone lets each player control their cursor when needed and allows each player to view their character info, look up monster stats, or play with their settings without halting the game for everybody else. Best bonus: Only one person needs to own the game and it runs very smoothly with steam's remote play.

Basically a frictionless way to get into a dense, tactical boardgame. Tactically it's a bit shallower than games it's inspired by (notably, Gloomhaven) but the changes make for MUCH easier onboarding for new players. There's a lot of fun interactivity too, and the ability to occasionally rename characters, items, and monsters can be absolutely hilarious. So, fun tactics and good co-op features. My hangups are outside the actual missions and tactical play. The story the game tells in cutscenes between missions is so simple and childish it's actually a bit off-putting to play as an adult. Like imagine a TV show for children ages 5-7. I was frequently asking myself who the game is for, as the audience for this narrative is absolutely too young to own smartphones or engage in fairly complicated hex-based tactical combat. Also - and this might be a personal taste thing - the voice acting is a bit silly. It's all done by a single voice actor pitching her voice all over, and she is doing a heroic job of it, but I just can't buy the same VA doing: wise old turtle lady, gruff male ogre, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ penguin merchant, and adorable(?) pet caterpillar. This a weak point when the production effort is otherwise so high, and it would be less distracting to not voice anything at all. That would be my choice for a second playthrough of the campaign.

万人にとってとっつきやすいデジタルボードゲーム。 ゾンビサイドやエルドリッチホラーなどの協力型ボードゲームは、「高い、セットアップに時間がかかる、場所を取る」など、楽しい体験の代償として多くを要求されるが、このゲームではストレスフリー。 書斎の母艦PCからリビングのsteamリンクに飛ばして、各自のスマホからテレビのQRコードを読み込むといった手順で遊んでいる。アプリの挙動や操作性はスムーズで、普段ゲームをしない人でも楽しめる。ただ、コントローラーに対応していないので、steamリンクでの操作性はあまりよろしくない。QRコード表示まで右スティックでマウスがわりに操作する必要がある。そこは要改善。 ゲームプレイ内容は、スタンダードな洋物シミュレーションRPG。動物のキャラクター達など、ボードゲーム感が非常に良く出来ていて◎。フルボイスのゲームマスターのCVが場を盛り上げる。一面クリアに大体30分前後かかるので、大物ボードゲームのセットアップより早く1ゲームが終わり、手軽そのもの。チュートリアルも丁寧。ゲーム内の効果が分からなければ、タップ一つでゲーム内辞書に飛べるのも素晴らしい。レベルアップ、街のアップグレード、買い物と報酬系もバッチリ。 ただ、簡略化の裏返しとして、ビデオゲームとしてはかなり薄味。キャラクター数が少なく、クラスと種族が固定で、スキルカードでビルドを組むが幅があまりない。マップは狭く、高低差もなく、目的もありふれた物なので、普段からガンガンBG3などをやっていたら物足りなく感じるはず。 とにかくお手軽なので、普段ゲームを遊ばない人でも楽しめる。英語は容易な文章なので、ある程度分かれば障壁にはならないはず。ボードゲームはハードルが高く感じる人にオススメ。うちの環境では、iPhone、Androidともに快適でした。 セールで3000円以下ならアリよりのアリアリ。
