Meridian: New World

Iv noticed alot of negative comments which i dont think it deserves, i havent fully played through it but have played i honestly didnt mind it, Being a newbie indie dev myself using unreal 5 i have respect for the devs who actually make games that arent shovelware as i know first hand it isnt as easy as people think, and i believe respect is due for the hard work involved. Especially considering its one person making it and not some AAA company which has a ton of cash to spend on assets.

Game no longer works in windows 11, fixes suggested are not a workaround. It was a good game but the devs dont seem interested in the launch issue. Some fixes tried but all failed with the same error posted. I would suggest the game is abandoned which is a shame, it was a decent rts.

Subpar RTS. By no means am I particularly immaculate at any strategy game, but I can usually limp across the finish line at most at the bare minimum. This game, at least story wise, is so incredibly unfair in its design that it punishes you most steps of the way. Want to route a destination for your units? Watch as they fumble through in the most un-optimal pathing often veering off of it to who-knows-where. Do you want your units to just sit tight? You’ll be damned sure they will follow an enemy unit who so much as grazes their vision to the ends of the planet. Maybe you just need a bit of extra time to set up before you can launch a proper offense/defense… well the enemy just somehow had pristine control and amassed 3x the forces you ever could. This doesn’t even regard the forced minigames in some sections that require you to build a turret defense against waves of enemies with limited and hardly recoverable resources, or sneak through an enemy base with a unit that does not want to follow the most simple pathing you set. Eventually I had to give up as the frustrations were not worth whatever uninspired story the game was trying to tell. At best the game does okay in any one ca…

Runs great, good menus, combat reminiscent of StarCraft. Balance and timing of events is great so far. Immersive top-down command area replaces text menus. Definitely worth the price of a cheeseburger.

Missions couldn't be cleared due to the fact, that required buidings aren't even available. Although not all texts are translated.
