Whats /v/ opinion on Stoneshard?

>>718758738 (OP)
I'm waiting for 1.0 before buying, also Quasimorph's 1.0.

I remember playing the free demo years ago. I figured it was one of those forever early access titles and promptly forgot about it. Is it at full release?

>>718758859
you are free to leave and keep playing UE5 slop

I've been playing Quasishard more
latest update absolutely fucked firing modes and durability that 7.97 became the most efficient round (after 12GA of course)

>>718758913
It's at 0.9.x version right now, so it's nowhere near a forever EA, will maybe release early or the middle of 2026.

>>718758738 (OP)
Is this a good adventurer manager?

version number got nothing to do with that

worst dogshit game ive ever played

>Quasimorph
i like the idea of the game but setting is a bit too depressing and miserable for me. Got enough of that IRL

>>718759737
>dishonest version numbering
I've been tricked...
At least Quasimorph 1.0 is soon-ish.

Crap

Character creator should have been in years ago. I don't want X character with a unique trait and pre-set skills.

I want a big list of traits, and points to spend on my own.

Very nice looking game, nice atmosphere and worldbuilding, very meh gameplay. They tried to make turn-based single-character combat 'tactical', which never works, by giving you a bunch of samey spammy abilities each with 4 paragraphs of text because if the text is long, that makes it deep right!? There's a reason that good roguelikes focus on the stuff in-between combat and leave the combat itself as dice rolls. That's just wasted development time though, not the actual reason the game is meh.

All the content is taking contracts to go to 3 types of dungeon (bandit, cultist, undead) that all play the same and are all too short. It can't decide if it's a roguelike or a CRPG. CRPGs favour hand-crafted content that you play through once or a handful or times, roguelikes favour randomly-generated content you play through hundreds of times. Stoneshart has randomly generated content, so play in ironman right? Well enjoy replaying the same story quests over and over and over again at the start of every new campaign. Pick one or the other, the two genres don't mesh well.

wastes your time with walking
wastes your time with clicking (keyboard controls don't really exist in the first place but moving with numpad is slower than clicking)
animations are too slow and turns in medium-to-large battles become INTENTIONALLY a slog
buggy as shit
development is molasses slow
difficulty is frontloaded, game becomes sort of a joke once you get past a certain threshold or knowledge that 80% of skills are shit and 10% are a must have snoozewalk

i cant think of a single other turn based game where i've cranked out the cheat engine for the speedhack and felt like it was justified and required, maybe underrail before they added the speed up button on the backtracking sections

>>718759489
>around since 2017
>0.9
So yes, a forever EA

>>718761709
You can't say that when Project Zomboid exists.

>>718758738 (OP)
lovely pixel art, not sure about the gameplay yet. Waiting for it to be finished

>>718758738 (OP)
its stoneshart and its shit
grindy, slow, boring as fuck and slow as fuck development

>>718758738 (OP)
Played drova, germon sloppy with strong wymnym. Unsure if I am ever going to touch goverment bucks games.

>>718764515
It was one of RPG Codex's GotY, surely it can't be that bad?

Its good, definitely surprised me. A woman leading one of the clans, the clan that is dysfunctional as hell with infighting, doesn't faze me.

>>718758738 (OP)
Did they finally add a character creator? Its been several years...
Also the devs are retarded. Last time I checked, they hated players progressing too quickly, so they turned early game into a complete slog. Could wander around maps without finding a single animal to kill, had to allocate points for basic survivability, making the early levels even more tight.
And it did nothing for difficulty past the first couple of levels, after which you can just destroy everything at range, or dance circles around the troll.

Great base for a game, ruined by retarded devs. And the updates are non existant, so if you are hoping for a patch that fixes your gripes with the game, don't.

>>718758738 (OP)
My opinion is that I have pixel fatigue.

Bought it a long ago and played a few months back when they dropped a big update and did everything, i'll play again once they get more magic schools done or 1.0
Still waiting on quasimorph and starsector to 1.0 as well
