Usb Download good game but better to wait until ocmplete because right now it dusent feel like managment feels like. any normal cartoony rpg except fact theres elimination i will buy once complete and update review. It's a turn-based strategy game where you run an organization of fantasy characters who take on quests. They're on a team in a league, the more jobs you do the better you do in your league (and possibly rank up to the next of I think 5 leagues). Or get demoted if you don't do enough.There's a bunch of different classes but not much customization. The customization really only comes from multiclassing, which allows for I think 5 classes on any one character. So that kind of makes up for the lack of individual class customization. It's not quite as in-depth as I'd have preferred; I would've given up a lot of other parts of the game for more ways to customize your heroes and bigger skill trees.The biggest problem I have with it are some of the random events, which often seem either too obvious or too random. And the fact that certain classes and builds seem strictly better than others. Why would anyone ever not have a Witchdoctor on their team? I don't think it's subjective that the one class with a solid early game AoE heal is going to be one of the best, if not the best. The talent choices seem obvious, there's AP reduction passives but there's also some massive buffs to active skills which are well worth paying the extra AP for. I think this should be tweaked in the future, but I think the numbers are a bit too small to make balance work without changing a lot of what's in place. 2 AP reduction is great, eventually you'd get to do skills for free. But 1 AP reduction isn't really that much.It's also got a campy as hell sense of humor, but it's kinda cute in the way that Shakespeare used to like watching ♥♥♥♥♥♥ plays. That's not an insult btw, I really did like it in that way. There's also a managerial aspect where you trade heroes with the AI, sign new players, scout for new job opportunities, etc. I haven't delved too much into the trading because that comes later than where I got to so far. But it's pretty good so far.. Even in Early Access the game is very enjoyable, and I haven't had a game breaking bug show up since I picked the title up a good while back. The devs are very responsive on the forums, always a plus in an EA title. This game definitely falls into the time killer category, as I fire it up to play around a bit and find myself still playing a few hours later. The class variations (and the addition of new prestige classes) provide a good deal of replayability even before it's feature complete.. Enjoy the game!Recruit your adventurers and groom them to greatness while watching your budget.Nice concept and relative simple game to learn.. A fun and well written game. It proves to be quite a challenge though.If there will be more features added this game will be truly awesome!. In its current state this is a game worth the money. Some of the mechanics need further work and balancing, particularly the management aspect. Controlling your adventurers is a bit too involved when compared to the tycoon aspects of the game. Sort of plays out like the banner saga. Looking forward to seeing what improvements they make.Originally posted as a positive review, changed now that the developer has abondoned the game. 02/23/2018
