Edge of War

A big game update arrived April 2, 2024. A lot of new story content, NPCs, places to go, items, game mechanics. You command a four character party in a world which is inspired by Finnish ancient mythology. Two of the characters you create and two more volunteers join you, but you can make choices how to level up and equip all of them. Character editor is okay for a topdown 3D game: hair models, colors, body build, many sliders to edit the face. Combat is fun and it offers many tactical elements, like elevations of terrain, nature and walls can block attacks or your moving, you can knock down and push enemies, if you try use bows or magic when adjacent to enemy or try to disengage from melee they get a free attack against you, flanking enemies helps to hit them, you and enemies get different disabilities like poisoned, bleeding and crippled, thrown potions can set areas in fire, oil, poison gas or other elements/gasses/liquids. I've played some of the difficult combats many times, and t...

Lot's of promise in this one! There's not that much story content yet, but just roaming around the Northlands and fighting random encounters is fun and keeps the game interesting. Cool skills and dynamic environments make fights enjoyable. I also like the idea of recruiting new members to your party and growing them into a team - sometimes you lose them, but there's always more to recruit - only the toughest survive! The visuals of the game are really nice, especially the environments. The portraits looked still a bit wip, but i'm sure they will be polished in future updates. I really hope the team gets a chance to develop the game further and add more story content, as the basic mechanics work really well. Keeping an eye on this for future updates!

I encountered several issues with this game. To begin with, it is poorly optimized. I experienced constant stutter and major frame rate drops every time the camera auto moved, even when lowering all the graphic settings to low using an RTX3080 and i9 processor. This game also caused my pc fans to race pretty high. I know it's early access, but I believe games should be more optimized at this stage. It really seems as if the developer pushed the Unity engine just a little too far. There is also no resolution percentage slider nor is there any way to lower the highly sensitive camera rotation. As far as combat, I found the experience to be rather typical and dull with tons of misses and enemies that always seem more powerful than you. There are also no difficulty settings in this game. I also found the dialogue rather boring with no voice acting. There is also no mini-map, no clear objectives, and the environments are very small almost like tiles that are tied together by convoluted map-...

You can make a moose and name it moose lee 10/10, this is already enough content to justify the price. PS. the game is also quite fun.

It is a good looking and very fun combat game. It's kind of a strategic. I like the music and the sound. The graphics are solid for a game like this. It has a comicbook like mood. I really recommend it. Me myself and I approve.

This could be a awesome game but, at the moment there are to many game crashing bugs

Can't wait to see where this is going - it's starting off strong and feel good to play already!

Has promise, sad to see what happened to the developers. I had to support them for the obivous work and love they have placed into the game so far. I just hope it doesn't get abandoned in the long run and continue to get updates even if its not a regular schedule. There's enough here for a good solid proof of concept. Now needs the lore/content/polishing. Will keep my eye on this one for sure.

I have enjoyed the bite sized chunk of what I played here. This is a very solid effort from Action Squad Studios. You get to have a party of 2 that ya can customize or not. The gameplay mechanics just work. I like that the environment can be affected via the use of bombs etc. However, I do wish that there was in game voice acting. That would make it the total package imo. The game is nicely priced for what ya do get. Recommended. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/IZSyCc1tGRE

Recommended with a caveat: it will ultimately either upset you or anger you after you play this for a while because you'll realize that there's a lot here and so much potential but due to reality of sales and finances it'll probably never reach that potential with all the polish and the jankiness smoothed out. It's Finnish folklore based and that's not something you ever see except UnReal World It plays like Divinity: Original Sin where you are a duo and you can control one at a time. The combat at this time is AP based so don't move get more attacks in but moving costs an attack. It needs about 1000 sales to get the funds to the guys making it. Chicken and egg problems. I like it, I like where they're going with it (it has a big map now!); but the wolves barking drives my dogs crazy. Keep up the great work and hope you see more sales come your way.
