@games What demos did you try today? | DAY 5

Greetings Flamboyant Flamingos (I’m running out of nouns and adjectives starting with F) of the Fediverse, it’s the 5th day of the #SteamNextFest , and for me, unfortunately, the last, weekend duty calls, and I won’t be able to give proper time to any other demo, so consider this last batch of impressions as my farewell to you all, until the next time

    @games Warcana

    Half pseudo-turn based Tower defense, half autobattler/deck builder, with the caveat being that opposite armies go directly for the enemy base, not each other.

    The spectacles are great, the sprite work is fantastic, the UI is a bit of a mess, why would you put your resource display on the right side of the screen instead of on top, and the gameplay needs to involve the player more during the action, not just limited to casting spells.

    It could be good, but needs more mechanics.

      @games Wild Bastards

      Procedurally generated FPS, from the creators of Void Bastards

      The neon/cowboy/scifi setting works, the shooting is way slower paced than I imagined, the unique abilities for the characters are interesting, and the fact that you’re constantly chased and need to pick your battles carefully gives a nice tension to the whole.

      The demo definitely left me wanting to know more about this project, I’ll take a good look at it in the months before its release
