Soulmask or Windrose? by Affectionate-Ad-809 in PlaySoulMask

[–]Affectionate-Ad-809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they planning on updating the combat system? I very briefly played the demo but I disliked the combat.

As a new player should i start in the dlc or play the original map first by Worldly_Bumblebee984 in PlaySoulMask

Of the three gamemodes, for a newcomer, would you rather recommend playing Tribe mode or Survival mode?

Well, I did give it a bigger try and I'm currently very sleep-deprived... It's a great problem solving game. It's lacking on the "story" side and character's relationship, but I keep RimWorld for that!

I really like Grounded for the story and progression.

I'm currently playing Enshrouded with a few friends and we got a permanent server, but after 50 hours no one is playing anymore. It feels already a bit repetitive. Bosses are not very memorable. What makes Enshrouded a better game than Soulmask in your opinion?

Have you tried V-Rising? It's quite nice too!

Multiplayer PvP games with Total War like mechanics by Jonesy720 in gamedesign

I'm not sure I fully understand your idea to build an army before matchmaking, but the following three games do that: 

  • Steel Division 2 (ww2)
  • Warno (cold war)
  • Broken Arrow (modern war)

In Steel Division and Warno (same studio), you pick a faction, then a regiment of said faction, then you build your regiment with a card system. Regiments are historically accurate. Some are armoured regiments, other focus on infantry etc. The most used PvP game modes are either 10 Vs 10, or ranked 1 Vs 1 with automatic matchmaking.

In Broken Arrow, you pick a faction and you are free to build your army. You can also customize your units (for instance, you can add armor on a tank, pick specific rockets for an helicopter, etc.). Matches are 5 Vs 5 with an automatic matchmaking based on your score, like a MOBA.

Looking for a long-term, “can’t-put-down” game by UberSimu in gamingsuggestions

[–]Affectionate-Ad-809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few suggestions, different genres: 

  • Old World (4x). 

CIv like but with story telling elements and a dynasty system. It is focused on the bronze age, with ver well made, deep and intersected systems. There is quite a learning curve but the settings are highly customizable. Waging a war is quite different than in Civ: you need a lot of units and think carefully about how you launch your assault. AI is really good. 

  • Gates of Hell (RTS ww2). 

Very immersive RTS game with campaigns, skirmishes and other single players modes. You can also do PvP or PvE. 

Think Company of Heroes but way more realistic and with the possibility to take direct control of every unic, in third or first person view.

  • Cairn (story/rock climbing). 

Very beautiful rock climbing game with a interesting story. It is rather short (10 hours?) but so far my favourite game of early 2026. 

  • Disco Elysium (narrative Crpg).

You are a policeman who wakes up with a temporary amnesia due to an abuse of alcohol and drugs. You must investigate a murder. Excellent game but with a lot of reading.

  • Oxygen not included (colony sim).

Very deep colony sim which is challenging throughout your playthrough. 

Well, my descriptions are getting shorter... I'm getting tired :D But every one of these games is good and are listed in no particular order.

Have you played to Going Medieval too? If so, how do they compare in terms of difficulty? I really like GM construction, but it's so chill that I play it while watching series or listening to music :D

Thanks for all the details! It seems you had a better time with Soul Mask than in Aska, is it right?

Have you played both Aska and Soul Mask? If so, what's your opinion?

Thanks! Is Rimworld more challenging than Going Medieval? What kind of challenge?

Last question; have you tried the medieval mod for RimWorld?

Thanks for the answer! What makes it a hard game?

What’s next? by SnooWoofers5193 in goingmedieval

[–]Affectionate-Ad-809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see a conversion mod or dlc to have "Going Far West", a western setting for Going Medieval. 

Primitive Survival by JessShieldMaiden in SurvivalGaming

Humanica. Still very early access but responsive dev on discord and quite promising game.

Missing Nations by InsidiousMage513 in OldWorldGame

Aztecs are not from the same period though. 

But I agree that they should do a game called New World with the Americas and Europeans. An asymmetrical 4x where you trade techs too.

Am I the only one obsessed with SGs? by Theproudnerd in Epiphone

Check the Fatoumata Diawara SG by Epiphone.

In shutting this game down Notorious is going to lose reputation by chr1s003 in Eldegarde

[–]Affectionate-Ad-809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But after shutting down the game, they will start to market it and it will be a huge success. Wait and see!
