This looks a lot like Mean Greens, which is another toy soldier themed game.

I'm sorry if this sound harsh but, they get no sympathy from me. People should know that money is not infinite, so if you drag development of something for 6 years, it will end with the project being canceled.

Gaming development is not a new thing. People should know how it works by now and have realistic goals, when they start a project like this.

We are in the 2020's and the writing is on the wall: don't buy anything on pre-release, not from a big studio, nor from a bunch of new kids that don't know what they are doing. If you loose money, it is on you.

How about Epic keep the money, and use it to "disable" Unreal 5 features, like the infamous UE5 sTuTTering®?

I don't know about others, but I always get uneasy about buying a game that looks to much like another that was a success. Experience from the past with those "copies" was not good.

I'm not saying this game is bad, but getting "inspired" by another game that is not even old yet, give me vibes of all those Contra or Street Fighter wannabes from the past that were a complete waste of time.

There is a lot of places where Valve should be selling their hardware, but strangely don't. Here in Brazil, Asus and Lenovo sell their consoles officially. Steam is a big hit here, but Valve never sold hardware. My Steam Controller I had to got trough Amazon, paying almost double the asking price in taxes and delivery. There is now way I can justify to myself doing that on a Steam Deck.

The principal character reminds me of a mix of Cowboy Bebop(the anime) and Rolling Thunder(the game).

Wishlisted. It is a Linux native game and also have David Wise on the soundtrack? Almost made me buy it despite the overprice in my home currency.

For those who don't know, the original is a hidden gem on the NES, since it saw a very limited launch outside japan and was probably the best game Sunsoft ever made. And for those thinking it is just a cheap Nintendo's Kirby knock-off, it was launched first and is as good of a game as the famous Nintendo platformer.

You bet that was added by the marketing dep request. If it will led to increased sales, time will tell.

This reminds me of a scene in the 1985's movie "The Return of the Living Dead". There is a big cannon firing a nuclear warhead. At the time I though it was fake, a prop from a B trash movie. But a couple years ago to my big surprise, I discovered that thing really exists. Its name is M65 atomic cannon. It does not have range to reach meteorites in space on collision course with Earth, but still is a impressive thing.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: sarmadCan someone explain what's wrong with Denuvo? Does it work on Linux/Proton or not?

3. What it's designed to do, which is prevent you "activating" the game more than 5 times. Probably not a huge issue normally, but if you play about with different versions of Proton, every time you delete your prefix (the PFX folder), you're re-activating the game on a "new PC", which will eventually lock you out of the game.

I have been bitten by that, on the original Crysis game. Luckily I got it again on GOG.com at a dirt cheap price. So yeah, stay away from any game with Denuvo or its cousins.
