Rise & Fall - Online Digital Edition

⠀

I downloaded the game, I requested alpha access in discord, I started the training, I uninstalled the game, I left the discord. This is not a game yet. There is no tutorial, no descriptions on cards and you have no idea what you are doing in the game.

Rise & Fall is a unique strategy game. It is easy to learn and hard to master... Each game is different and you always need to adapt and react properly to you opponent moves. It really shine when the player are experimented, as each mistake in the development are not really forgiven...

The game is fun and challenging to master. In-game tooltips would help make it more accessible to new players. I played around 15 games against the level 1 pirate AI. In one match, the AI didn’t perform well—it placed its first city in a cut-off area, which weakened the opponent for the rest of the game. Also, late-game turns take a bit longer than feels comfortable. I’d play more if it weren’t for the somewhat slow turns (though that might be due to my old machine, but I dont think so), which is a shame because the game is genuinely addictive

You 100% need the rulebook to understand the game, but we went through a 1v1 game online pretty smoothly with 0 issues.

This is shaping as a very good implementation of a superb board game. I just hope the developer does not stop working on it
