✦ AI summary

Comrade-in-Arms receives sharply divided feedback from players, with opinions ranging from praise for its tactical depth and Soviet steampunk atmosphere to heavy criticism of its clunky controls, basic pixel art, and minimal content. Common complaints center on poor design choices like excessive clicks needed for basic actions, system resource hogging, and what many describe as lazy minimal-effort development, while supporters highlight engaging tactical combat and an interesting aesthetic.

Игра "Comrade-in-Arms" - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре тактических RPG. Она подкупила меня своей атмосферой альтернативной истории, где смешались советская эстетика и элементы стимпанка. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, крепко держит внимание благодаря интересным персонажам и их взаимодействию. Тактические бои - вот где игра раскрывается во всей красе. Разнообразие юнитов, их способностей и окружения заставляют думать над каждым шагом, а не просто бездумно "закликивать" врагов. Отдельно хочется отметить визуальный стиль. Он может показаться кому-то нарочито простым, но в этом и есть его шарм. Приятная графика и запоминающийся дизайн техники создают неповторимую атмосферу. Недостатки, конечно, есть: встречаются небольшие баги и местами заметна некоторая затянутость повествования. Но все это меркнет на фоне интересных механик и увлекательного геймплея. "Comrade-in-Arms" - отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет тактическую RPG с необычным сеттингом и не боится экспериментировать. Рекомендую!

It's ok, very basic and not a lot of content at all. 5/10

"Comrade-in-Arms" is a deplorably lazy minimal effort 2D top down shooter. Take on the role of a formless pixel blob and shoot other pallete swapped pixel blobs. This truly is why indie devs have such a bad name. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $3 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. It's also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who paid money for this... nobody got refunded. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ g…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
