Monster Hunter is a great series. Not terribly stoked about the endgame in Rise though. I think my ideal game would be something like Generations Ultimate but with the overall clunk removal that world/rise did.

Yeah I have no clue on that honestly. I feel like I see that kind of thing happen on Reddit and here frequently enough, and my experience has not been seeing people get banned about it.

Because I was also curious. In short, I think it’s essentially saying shit that calls out advertising bullshit in an overt way while using the format that advertisers do.

Kinda like the magic glasses in the old movie “they live” but more colorful. Image for context:

Hell yeah, sounds great. I haven’t played frostpunk (also on my wishlist), but I can’t really go wrong with city builders, and I love the theme. I appreciate the info!

Honestly sounds awesome. I’ve found that I love top down city builders (shout out to timberborn) and I really like the theme and setting of Against the storm. Love me some grim vibes in games. Thanks for the info!

Oh wow, I thought there was combat.

What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more “macro” level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?

I’ll definitely pick it up if that’s more what it’s about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.

I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.

Against the storm has been on my radar for ages. How is it, and how’s the replayability?
