![]() ![]() As accessibility is one of their key design goals, a heuristic based playability review seems appropriate. However, 100 Rogues aims to present an accessible Rogue-like, ideal for someone who hasn’t played before. I’ve never previously been able to get into Rogue-likes, having only played games in this genre briefly, before being scared off by the dungeon crawler’s core mechanics of ‘odds stacked against you’, ‘if you die you lose’, and ‘you will die’. Your decision to play this game is by the sum of all parts.In the words of the Fast Show, this week I’ve mostly been playing 100 Rogues. Wars are made by the composite of many, many events, not any one shot. Some choices are meaningless, a few vital, and others numbing in their repetition, (didn't I already make Theoden's charge?) but they are all cumulative. You make choices to a changing and growing world. Whether your character goes for the war is hell mantra, or God save the King, is irrelevant. This story is part 2, of a long campaign, and game. But the only way this story works is in its sense of time. To people familiar with war novels, the diatribe between the romance and cynicism of war may seem old hash. Your commanders express their weariness at the loss of war more often. In Sabres, it was guns blazing into the quiet sun. It is easier to break up than choose intellectually and fall in love later, or go from friendship to love.įlavor and love-at-first-sight decisions notwithstanding, Guns excells in its nuances. So if you do want to romance her, remember that there isn't much recourse in romance after the first (your character's plans for her) choice. (Probably slept until I woke him up like Alfred.) The newcomers have more plans and preferences and ideas (and more importantly investments!) But I had no idea what my second-in-command did during the day. In Sabres, you focused nearly entirely on your two friends/rivals/distant chums. This is both detrimental and advantageous. Guns still has a small cast like the first game. (It looks like there was plans for knights-and-idealism Elson, but not moody-venerable-bryonic-hero Sir Cassius.) One note of caution though: only the spy has the full arc. (When I replayed Sabres, I combed the choices for nearly an hour, before I realized the war-time romance was in Broadsides.) Your choices include an Adlerian spy filly and a fur-lined Duchess. ![]() Some decisions, like beatifying an old officer, do not show their full effect in the game. Your family, in theory, provides more Austen sensibility, but with the amount of choices over your siblings, mother and father, effectively reduces to a money-bleeding vanity. This include a family, selective pasttimes and causes. To help with replayability, the author has provided some flavor-enhancing storylines. The game is long, but unless you replay or read the scenes, you won't see all the stops. If you retreated in the last game, you have a whole unique arc.īut this can also result in brevity. Guns of the Infinity follows your substantial decisions, writing four chapter changes (8 unique choices) for their divergences. You went from one battle to the next, with two chapter changes if you didn't make promotion. The first game, Sabres of Infinity, was largely a linear experience. Guns of Infinity improves over Sabres of Infinity in the following ways: it provides a more dynamic experience, with diverting or flavorful mini-storylines, new characters and romances, and considerably more nuance. ![]() This game is a sequel to a by-battle, choose your own adventure text-based adventure akin to your choice of an Napoleon-era romp, Choice of the Broadsides, Horatio Hornblower, etc, with nearly non-existent magic.
