They Were Billions... ok, maybe not.

Wow. THAT was a short game. Yikes. What did I get 45 minutes? Most of which was trying to figure out how to play while the game was paused... so... I think it said day 6? I took too long figuring out how to play, and I guess I didn't build the military building fast enough... yikes.

I guess I could have tried it on the easiest difficulty settings if I wanted a chill game, but I stuck with the default. I was not prepared.

Not sure how I feel about this game. It's hard to concentrate between coughing fits and I am tired.

I may try again at a later date, when I feel up to it. I don't really feel like anything right now but zoning out and watching stuff. Blargh. Oh no! Am I one of the infected?! D8

... brains?

yeah the game is pretty unforgiving, setting everything to the easiest is a good way to learn the game at a steady pace.
hoping they add a setting sometime to turn off ironman(basicly no multiple saves to prevent save scumming)
My biggest tip is protect your housing, it just takes one of those going down to end a good run

Yeah, I didn't even notice they were creeping in until it was too late, and underestimated how devastating it would be... especially when the one I saw creeping in wasn't one of the several already attacking one of the colonists, lol. I feel like the problem is that there was no warning when THAT happened and I was busy on the other side of the settlement. Maybe I just missed it, but I feel like there should be some kind of notice when a colonist sees an infected, right? Though by then it's still probably already too late... oh well. =P

There is a verbal warning, but it can get crowded out by everything else that's going on. There's certainly work to be done with the UI and Minimap to help point those things out.

yeah they do that, early game is the worst since you dont have walls and have to keep on your toes

I'd say wait 'til they add in the Story mode/tutorial. So far without those the only way to learn is trial and error, erring on the side of error.

Great game, but the learning curve is pretty steep.

Oh, I don't mind the trial and error so much. It's more that I'm a little plaguey myself, haha, so I may not have been paying much attention to everything. XP

The game does seem pretty great though. ^_^

They Are Billions. It's pretty cool, but not very forgiving of mistakes. X3

Was actually looking at getting this game. Would you recommend it?

I think so, yeah. I'm way too plagued up right now to give it a proper run, but the art style is very cool, and the whole atmosphere of the game is on point.

The gameplay seems very familiar to the old-school RTS style of thing, but the default difficulty settings of "Challenging" are definitely that. Luckily, there are multiple settings you can change, like the amount of days, which gives you more or less time between waves, and the horde size. It looks like there are a couple of map styles or something, though it looks like they might be locked until you complete the first one. Changing the difficulty settings changes the score percentage you get at the end, whatever that means. The default "Challenging" settings are 100%, and I think by changing them in the drop-down box, the "Easiest" settings combined to be 10%. I forget what percentage the "Brutal" settings gave you. XD There are a couple of intermediate settings too, though, so I'm sure there's plenty of fun for everyone. ^_^
