Title: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it? Post by: Kageru on April 25, 2012, 08:42:04 PM Looks somewhat interesting. Small (solo?) development team, a focus on piloting rather than the economics and fleets that discouraged me from messing with X3. Looks like the developer has been iterating on the same title for a while. On steam special (-50%) today. Title: Re: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it? Post by: Thrawn on April 25, 2012, 08:49:15 PM Looks Freelancer-esque almost. The 68/100 metacritic worries me though.

The demo download is 219mb (which apparently is the same size as the full game). Title: Re: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it?

Title: Re: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it? Post by: Kageru on April 25, 2012, 10:18:02 PM I did search... possibly missed it because he misspelled mercenary. In any case this is not a game you can pick up and make a quick decision about, the tutorial is dense... but it does look interesting. Title: Re: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it?

Post by: koro on April 25, 2012, 10:49:31 PM I tried so hard to like this game but the learning curve and completely fucked UI (menus nested within menus nested within other menus, and some of them get too small and have text cut off!) was just too much for me to get past, especially since the game seemed to provide no incentive or Things to Look Forward To for me to want to keep throwing myself at the learning curve, unlike X3 or even EVE.

Title: Re: Evochron mercenary, anyone played it? Post by: Kageru on May 04, 2012, 08:21:12 PM The website has a demo version and is a small download. The tutorial is like a "how not to do it". Sit in space while an immense info-dump is read to you with little context of why you should care. Followed by some intro missions (dock here! dock there! dock in a box!) which are zzzzzz. |
