No character progression at all, since the only way to increase character stats/skill lvl is through equipment, and you can only equip 1 at a time.It’s possible to be an avid fan of Red Hook Studios’ Darkest Dungeon, a brutal dungeon crawler where death is permanent and the stakes absolutely matter. No accuracy, which means every attack can and will miss randomly without any way to prevent that. No reserve roster to swap out, so you can only ever have a maximum of 4 characters. Vambrace Cold Soul has the best visual and story, but the worst gameplay of all. Your character pool is very small (7-8 characters, compared to DD's nearly 20 characters, excluding modded ones) and formation is a total joke since enemies can reach every position but your team can't. Mistover is a bit better, since it at least keeps the good parts intact. Took 2 months of player pressure to make them come out of their hidy hole for a "promise" about updates, then bastards returned to their hidy hole again. Not to mention a team of devs who has clearly abandoned their game. I regret every single cent and seconds spent on that game. Warsaw is a lazy carbon copy of DD with all good aspects stripped out and an amateur ww2 fanfic slapped on. It has large roster of different characters to choose from, and a more active gameplay with all character skill usable instead of 4 and Iratus himself support the battle with spells. You're controlling the monsters instead of humans, which feels both familar and fresh. I think they use different lobes of the brainĪ lot of them: Iratus LotD, Mistover, Warsaw, Vambrace Cold SoulĪmong them, only Iratus LotD is the most similar and also the only one worth playing. That drives all of your build paths, over decades of running missions.īoth are fun, in different ways. You can't just walk into the store and down 1 corridor. That will end your game (on permadeath difficulty levels) until you have a concrete plan to escape or win at (ahem) hamlet-fighting.Īs a corollary, there's a vast portion of game to play before you ever see 1 crew combat. ST:F hamlets fly through space and fight. Hence, Stun and DoT are almost afterthoughts because they'll happen < 1.0 times per combat on average, while AoE attacks (double, or in rare cases quadruple) reign supreme. Round 1! You could board a ship 8 times and fight 8 crew combats, in 9 rounds total. After midgame, you kill trashmob humans and weak xenos by the end of round 1. In ST:F, you aim to win by the end of round 2. ST:F crew(/officers/captain) have stats, and Initiative, for multiple actions per round. Playing either game as if it's the other one will get you killed in both games. It has similar 4x4 combats, with many of the same elements, but the META is completely different. Star Traders: Frontiers is nothing like Darkest Dungeon
