Hope everyone had a restful weekend. I have been playing lots of Minecraft, as I am currently what laymen call “unemploymed” so I need to pass the time somehow. I have also been playing a little Grim Fandango remastered. Hope everyone has a good week
Getting back into Battle Brothers with the new Reforged mod. Really livens building bros up with semi-random perk lines, but it doesn’t change as much as Legends does, which I’m enjoying (although I’m missing battle sisters.)
I truly believe this game remains as one of the peak turn-based tactics games mechanically, especially with some of the more dynamic perk abilities with this mod that encourage off-meta plays in vanilla like building around shieldwalls or managing fatigue beyond having enough to swing once.
I think some of the fundamental shiny spots of this game are the armor system (which abstractly models damage and penetration in a pretty tight fashion,) and morale and injuries, which ameliorate the supremacy of focusing down targets that’s so common.
