Whiteout Frontier

Whiteout Frontier is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG construction kit "flips" spamming the Steam catalog, but instead of being made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit, it was made with SRPG Studio, which is significantly inferior to RPG Maker in all respects. Like all JRPG construction kit "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality assets (notably most of the assets here seem to be custom instead of just copy + pasted stock assets). We can tell that these are not likely to be asset flipped assets because the quality is so much worse than stock assets. But you know the old saying, if developers don't know how to actually make a game and resort to using a construction kit, they usually don't know how to do the rest of the job of game development either, and that's evident with "Whiteout Frontier". The ugly monochrome graphics accompany a game that's less narrative driven (probably a good thing, construction kit/asset flippers are terrible at building narrative) and more combat focused, which of course is terrible because this was slapped together with a godawfully bad construction kit that should never be used by anyone, let alone as a substit…

Have now streamed a couple of hours of this so far on my Youtube channel and it turns out to be really disappointing for multiple reasons... 1. Although it can go fullscreen, it cannot be streamed in fullscreen mode and appears as a small window on the stream. 2. Repetitive boring missions have you repeatedly defending the same locations over and over again. 3. Difficulty plummets off a cliff with there only being 4 enemies on some maps that can be killed in the first turn. 4. No apparent real consequences to any choices you make (presumably till the very end of the game). 5. Keeps talking about a bunker I need to visit but there is no option to do so, so I have no idea what its referring to. 6. After each mission one of your soldiers gets +3 to every stat besides movement, making them insanely powerful very quickly, which just compounds the difficulty problem. 7. Sniper rifles now have infinite range for some reason, meaning alot of the time you are just taking pot shots at the enemies and then reloading if your sniper gets tagged in response to missing his shot. Overall the game seems and plays like an early access, imbalanced, repetitive, dull grind, which is a real shame becau…
