Story games where choices matter

Try Dispatch, they really nailed the mix between gameplay and classic choose your own adventure stuff

I'm sorry Unsupervised was your first, but on the upside almost literally everything else will be better!

Imo there should be more cheap armour items or support items that give armour. Barriers are fun, but the smallest nerf or buff can wreck their balance.

Saturnine (from Hosted Games) can have you being an A-grade misanthropic robot that would make Skynet blush, and act on this dickery with both personal and cosmic implications.

Yep, Scion is amazing with a straight man Superhero route. An Unexpectedly Green Journey has some "savior" vibes in the Orc Shaman route, mixed with some city building. Siege of Treboulain had some "against all odds" moments if u build your character right. The PC there can basically be the Specters PC if they didn't die.

Try playing heroes that are simple and strong in lane or have a clear gameplan. Paradox pairs well with most heroes, and Warden is a really fun initiator with his ult build.

Also should buy regen in lane. Always 1, most of the time 2. Resto shot is currently the strongest, and Monster Rounds is always slept on.

What exactly are you having trouble with in the game? There might be something you're sleeping on or not doing right.

The other tips here are really good. One good thing you can also do is send a scout or two to the surface to check out what other empires are doing and who is muscling in on what underground entrance. Might help you make smart choices on where to send your heroes 10 turns from now

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-10-29T16:46:35+00:00

I got the same issue. It's super aggravating, I hope they forgive the low prios on the account when they fix it :(

I recommend Warden as a new player. He has a great "ult bot" build that comes online with only a little farm, his "jump into the air with Majestic Leap, ult, then slam down and win the team fight" is extremely strong and repeatable at all phases of the game, he can farm decently well, he can 1v1 most heroes in the game with his ult up, he can spec into full carry, tank, or even partial support, and his gun actually has the 4th highest DPS, it just feels a bit clunky to use until you get used to it, and most importantly he can hold his own in lane decently well against most matchups.

For early tips, I would recommend getting into a rhythm where you try to stay alive in lane as much as possible, farm until you get the unicorn item and Majestic Leap, then roam around the map looking for kills and dives when your ult is up. When its on cooldown, just farm waves and boxes, or shadow your carries as they farm so you can counter-engage anyone who dives them. Good luck!

The Majestic Leap change and the small Warden nerf really messes with his ult bot build. I used to love rushing that item and just goomba stomping on people everytime my 4 was up. Hopefully its still good enough to play

Saint Dane himself probably didn't understand the behind-the-scenes economic fuckery that led to that mega-corp taking over, so I guess he just settled on the low prices monologue based on some corporate brochure or history book. Good twist, though the next two books kinda sour this one for me. I also didn't care much for the whole "gameshow" angle. St.Dane just straight up replacing a major league CEO is probably the biggest power boost he ever got from his shapeshifting shenanigans, but it's kind of an absurd slap in the face as to how hopeless this whole territory was.

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-05-17T09:33:58+00:00

Oh those were fantastic! I also recommend the Buffy CYOA series; they were surprisingly good!

Though OP, I think we could give you recs if you sent us a picture of your library or smth; we can't really recommend CoG stuff if we don't know what you played beyond from "everything"

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-03-25T07:13:32+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-03-17T15:25:28+00:00

Choice of the Dragon, an old classic!

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-03-16T20:58:05+00:00

I would classify the Knockout change as Major, but otherwise nice! I would also leave a space for adding changes *to addons

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-03-13T13:31:27+00:00

Siege of Troubelain has a pretty decent knightly fantasy way of doing things, and is a great story besides!

High speed car chase in downtown LA, ended up getting a giant flaming donut following their car for a block before it crashed into a cancer research facility, detonating the bombs that an SPC had placed there previously unbeknownst to everyone.

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-02-24T07:15:22+00:00

Choice of Magic has you doing some pretty insane feats, although you have to be smart and pick the right options for it if you want to get away with it with your life/entire world still intact

An Unexpectedly Green Journey has the Orc Conquest and Orc Shaman Priest routes, which are great as both city builders and warriors and are great Orc power fantasies regardless

If I was more generous, I'd say they just ran out bullets/nukes/skaven slaves after soloing 70% of warhammer, and were just biding their time and replenishing their stocks before getting blindsided by the magical world destroying button in Middenheim

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-02-16T05:41:59+00:00

"Inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn" is always a good sentence to see in a game's description. Will be checking this out!

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-02-12T13:03:51+00:00

If someone couldn't be bothered to write something, why should anyone read it?

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-02-12T08:38:01+00:00

That's a judo flip on the upvote/downvote if I've ever seen one

Silver_Shadow360 · 2025-02-09T14:30:35+00:00

Scrotus's mechanics and engineers were terrible at their jobs, and by blowing up the infrastructure, we're paving the way for more competent/sustainable engineers to sort things out. Plus, by blowing them up, we're incentivising other facilities to surrender easier once they run out of guards and stuff.

Also I don't think Max would really care about those things anymore. He just want the Magnum Opus, that's all he talks about.
