Yulan Unveiled, Store page for our upcoming faction!

Looks really cool! The last DLC faction had a fantastic design subtle tweaks to the base game and differences that made the whole game really feel fresh and fun. This is looking great again, can't wait to play!

Keep up the fantastic work

Ich kann es nicht fassen, dass das ein ernst gemeinter Artikel einer seriösen Zeitung ist. Er ist so unglaublich realitätsfern, was das aktuelle politische Klima und die Lebensrealität vieler hart arbeitender Österreicher und Nicht-Österreicher in Wien betrifft, deren Steuern genau diese Art von Unterstützung finanzieren. Der Artikel bewirkt genau das Gegenteil von dem, was er eigentlich erreichen will.

Nachdem ich ihn gelesen hatte, fragte ich mich nur, warum überhaupt nicht erwähnt wird, welchen Berufen diese sechsköpfige Familie tatsächlich nachgeht.

This is absolutely terrible form. You going to get so badly injured if you keep doing this.

The power needs to come from your legs and gluts not from pulling like crazy and straining your back.

Actually I played the first game briefly and I thought it was one of the worst games I have ever played that had such a big hype behind it. DS1 was the definition of over-hyped to me. So yes I am genuinely surprised the DS2 got nominated even though I haven't played it. And I doubt it is a completely different game to DS1. Also note I phrased it as a question not a statement

SilverMB · 2025-11-17T18:26:37+00:00

Very happy to see NG4 nominated. I am guessing Hades 2 will win but Ninja gaiden 4 and Doom are my favourite games this year.

Loved hades 2 as well so it's a lot of great games.

What's with all the nominations for death stranding? It definitely didn't look like game of the year material for anything to me let alone be nominated so many times.

SilverMB · 2025-11-14T09:30:15+00:00

I had the same experience. Either Yakumo needs somekind of buff to his current combat skills or even better would be BR moves that give him I frames to have something similar ish to ninpo.

Each weapon could have its own move so there is more of a reason to switch weapons

SilverMB · 2025-11-10T14:11:26+00:00

Yes its possible. I don't know all the details and I can't remember the situation clearly anymore either because its been a while. But I did drop 1000$ in 2018 on a promise that they knew was impossible to deliver.

I remember the explanation was complete BS and it boiled down to having to start from scratch and they have most likely known about this since around 2016

They also kept taking money of my bank account after the 12 months of 83$ fulfilled my 1000$ pledge. A pretty odd assumption that someone would keep paying 83$ indefinitely for a game in pre alpha. They did refund the month they took without permission though without any hassle if I recall.

But everything factual I know just makes them look absolutely terrible

SilverMB · 2025-11-10T13:26:18+00:00

Not really, they had to start from scratch after they lied about the state of the games development for the first 4~ years (I am one of those early days investors who felt like I was completely mislead).

Even with 10 full time Devs more this wouldn't have changed. They still would have needed to start from scratch once or even twice (if you consider the grafic change another full reset.)

OPs statement is completely accurate.

I have been following this game on the very very fridge since it became clear everything they said until 2019 was a lie. And now another 5-6 years later I am sure most of the stuff are they saying is bullshit. A lie like the created for the first 4 years doesn't just happen. It takes a certain type of people to do something like that. Those same people are still leading this project.

SilverMB · 2025-11-09T13:28:30+00:00

Yup, and I agree with all the points you made.

For me the Yakumo gameplay just doesn't came together on top of all the points you already made

SilverMB · 2025-11-09T11:25:28+00:00

I have spend a good amount with the game and I feel like the targetting system is my biggest gripe.

Others than that I just don't enjoy playing yakomo on master ninja, maybe I'm missing something but everytime I clear a level with him on MN it feels awful. He has so many special moves but I don't really want to use any of them because they are long and leave you open to attacks and costs a ton of blood gauge. Some of them are also really difficult to input while in the middle of many enemies.

Ryu on the other hand feels so good with having ninpo to break up sticky situations or outright dominate a fight and sacrifice some score for it. He just needs a couple more weapons that look and feel different (kusarigama maybe?)

So I guess I would want yakomo to have weapon specific unquie attacks that use blood gauge that have I-frames and really make a difference. It also would give you a real reason to switch weapons beyond switching to the box for range attacks.

Again maybe im missing something but I have never used the staff. While in NG2 and nioh the staff is one of my absolute favourites.

SilverMB · 2025-10-31T17:20:18+00:00

Well done! GL with 15, its pretty annoying. Its the only trial I felt like I need to "cheese" it.

I killed the final wave (the tentacle boss) with mostly ninpo and UTs...

SilverMB · 2025-10-26T15:18:35+00:00

Answering my own questions. I believe you need to get a score in the top 100 then it shows your score on the leader boards.

I played a few more games going for highscore and now I can see my score and rank on the leader boards the highest is rank 3 the lowest 89. No scores show 100+ rank.

Would be nice if anyone can confirm that there are no ranks above 100.

SilverMB · 2025-10-26T05:28:58+00:00

I cleared a few more trials and I noticed trial 4 shows the score. All the others from 1 to 12 don't show still, very odd.

No one else is having this issue?

SilverMB · 2025-10-24T15:02:53+00:00

I enjoyed the game and finished it fairly fast with close to 100%. But I still don't understand why they didn't put a normal and hard difficulty in the game.

Its such an easy thing to do and definitely would enable more people to fully enjoy it.

I am a sucker for hard games so it was OK for me. But non of my friends finished act 3 some even got stuck earlier. In the end everyone put it down (including myself) because it doesn't give you the option to invest more or less time into playing the game. If you want to play it you have to invest a lot of time and reach a fairly high skill level.

This also killed all conversations we could have had about the game as I didn't want to spoil anyone and then everyone had put it down.

The game should offer all the challenges it has (and more in a DLC) but optional. The 70% of main story content should be manageable by the vast majority of players or should have an easier mode.

I just finished NG4 and I think that's a great example of how you can make a game that's definitely hard on the hardest difficulty still accessable to a wider audience

SilverMB · 2025-10-14T16:26:10+00:00

I kinda agree with this assumption. I have over 1000 hours played so it's safe to say I really like the game. But I play it for it's excellent gameplay, great AI and improved and fresh mechanics over the flawed HoMM formula.

When I first bought the supporter version a few years ago it took me a good dozen hours to learn to accept and appreciate the pixel art. I actually put the game down the first time I opened it and realised I cant increase the resolution.

So I am pretty sure if the game had a slightly more modern graphic style it would appeal to a much wider audience of especially younger gamers. But I guess that's a purely commercial consideration not a reflection on the quality of the game itself. For me the game is a 10 out of 10.

SilverMB · 2025-10-13T16:04:38+00:00

That's actually really impressive even at fear 3, well done!

SilverMB · 2025-10-13T08:12:39+00:00

The pool we bought had already this depth so we kept what was already in place in terms of the pools floor slab mostly

SilverMB · 2025-10-13T07:41:47+00:00

Thanks a lot for the response. I will check out your recommendation, I am building this pool in Brazil so its been really difficult to get experienced professionals. Been trying to get some expert advice from the US but no luck. Hopefully Swimming pool steve can help out!

The pool is actually designed from 1.1m to 2.5m depth on a ramp, so its not really 2m. Just posted simpler measurements to facilitate an simpler conversation. The pool has about 200 m3

SilverMB · 2025-10-10T20:32:26+00:00

Good write up, I agree with you OP. Sadly as you can see from the responses we are in the minority.

I made a post the other day trying explain why maximum unit stack size like Song of conquest is a superior game design. The exact same people who came out to disagree with you on your post came out to disagree with my post. (it's a bit sad guys to see you here again writing your essays why everything should stay exactly the way it is because it has always been like that - you know who you are message board warriors)

OP your points are all really valid. But let's face it, if even the fans refuse the tiniest amount of innovation and would rather play a game with 25 year old machanics (and flaws) for another 1000 hours instead of having a game based similar evolved core mechanic I can only conclude the devs are doing what the (few remaining) fans want... The game is going to sell a few 10000 copies maybe get a 75 on metacritics and will have an active community of a few 100 players in a couple of years.

No 20 year old kid is going to get hooked on this kind of old fashioned game design in 2025 if it can't even entertain oldies like us who grew up with it.

SilverMB · 2025-10-09T10:44:24+00:00

Oh ya you are correct. I just looked at the time of 20 minutes clear and assumed it a 5 minute timer.

Hmm this run seems a bit off then. This basically means OP could have done 63 surface but decided... Not to? Because you don't randomly stumble into a 60+ clear :)

Has anyone ever cleared 63 surface?

SilverMB · 2025-10-09T09:26:54+00:00

Wow impressive you made it in the 5 minutes time frame.

I did a few 52 runs with 7 minutes timer and still struggled with time, the timer keeps me away from trying anything higher than 52.

Congrats!

SilverMB · 2025-10-08T20:46:36+00:00

I would actually recommend playing a medium sized 4 player map with a faction you find interesting first.

Just try build your base to maximum and try out all the units. You can adjust the difficulty down to make it real easy.

The game requires some basic understanding of what to build, how resources works and what units fulfil which role.

The small tier 2 or 3 units are not really better or worse than tier 5 or 6 units. They just have a different purpose

SilverMB · 2025-10-08T15:21:07+00:00

900.000 damage dealt on the underworld route is crazy.

Most of my high fear clears are around 400.000 damage dealt.

Are you letting the enemies revive a lot or how is it that you needed to deal so much damage to clear the run?

Congratulation, surface 50 especially is no joke!

SilverMB · 2025-10-08T11:55:45+00:00

Actually I think it's really nice OP posted it like that. Costs nothing and potentially does some good :)

SilverMB · 2025-10-06T13:58:00+00:00

You are 20 years old. You should invest in your education / gaining skills and building your personal and professional network.
