This was fun, thanks for talking me into buying it /v/.

Good for you, anon. I dropped it after 30 hours.

>>723395024 (OP)
np anon
always remember that bianca is best girl

looking forward do the sequel

>>723395453
Any news about the sequel?

>>723395024 (OP)
this game made me realize that i love srpgs. I can't play regular turn based now

>>723395586
Yeah
>>723395453
is looking forward to it.

>>723395586
i dont know, i don't really follow steam forums

>>723395754
it was clearly a typo you moron

>>723395024 (OP)
the post game dlc were grindy and hard though

>>723395453
I was too before I saw this. They either sold out or are plain retarded. Shame.

>>723396052
What? I'm not making fun of any typos...

>>723396143
the visual designs of the sequel have been a massive downgrade. Like a weird mix of how to train your dragon + tumblr art quirks. At the same time the devs couldn't care less about western faggotry so this is just them having terrible taste in game design.

>>723395024 (OP)
sell me on it

>>723396143
What's the problem here? Is it because he's brown or because the art style still sucks? Or both?

>>723396476
It looks worse than 1st game and he is a nigger

>>723396337
Absolutely based. God i hope the two sides of the horseshoe kill each other before this game releases because i wouldn't be able to stand the smell of rancid shit in every thread.

Who am i kidding, i'll probably go to vrpg. They have a general there and i found the nicest community that helps out with info about the game. For people just getting into the game, there are places on this board that are helpful

What's the gameplay like? I had it on wishlist long time but it just seems like a game where I fight for 2 hours per mission and this is instant drop for me.

>>723396708
It is. You either love it or hate it.

>>723396520
Jason

>>723396708
Not all of them are like that but yeah, if long missions are a dealbreaker I wouldn't bother UNLESS you really like build autism and optimizing characters

>>723396438
SRPG with tons of focus on character building. You get 500+ masteries which individually can give characters new abilities, effects, stats, etc. They can also be combined into hundreds of different combos that give extra effects. Very much an RPG with less focus on level/stat checking enemies and more of a focus on how you can autistically tweak some meme build into not only being viable, but being good. If you want your healer hebe to be an immortal tank that one shots enemies with meteor strikes you can do that.

You have your usual korean grind treadwheels but everyone massively overstates how grindy the game is. I played it without engaging with the treadwheels and I never found it grindy at all.

Girls are also some top tier cuties and the devs have a thing for tomboys because half the cast is various flavors of tomboy.

sex with the girls

>>723396143
what a clown show, are they inspired by the FE Engage designs?

>>723396898
I can't do it right now but tell him about the berserker auto combo

>>723396825
The difference is that all the dark-skinned NPCs in Abandoned Children were villains (which is true of real-life) while in the sequel it seems like we're going to be forced to use a nigger in our supposed "villain-fighting" squad.

>>723396974
ALL of them?

>>723396520
meh they're just not good at drawing, but it's not that much a of a downgrade

>>723396708
the two hour missions are an exception not the rule and you will eventually come to love them because they help you stress test your autism builds by sending armies of enemies after your team.

In terms of gameplay its your standard turn based RPG affair except the AT system allows you to really bend and break the mold of a TBS. Essentially all your units take time to do things, but masteries and abilities can massively reduce or outright eliminate waiting for your turn. Or alternatively you can build characters into doing shit on an enemy's turn mainly through berserker or reaction attack effects.

>>723397032
This berserker auto combo with alisa?

>>723396143
>>723396520
If you were there for the original game's EA the visual style of the characters was improved massively. If people kick up enough of a stink about characters having shit designs Dandy will change them.

>>723397284
Yes

>>723396584
/vst/ is the home of troubleshooter threads and the general there is pretty good for discussing the game. /v/ is obviously a crap shoot in terms of discussion.

Why is she so smug all the time?

>>723397659
this is my wife, MINE
also she is smug because she is a gamer

>>723396438

>>723396143
>>723396520
not all of the new character designs in the sequel are bad though

>>723397741
>she is smug because she is a gamer
I'm a gamer and I'm not smug
also, you left out the fact that she is quite literally toxic

I fucking love Irene. She was easily my favorite character even before she officially joins your company mainly because of the way she shows up in missions at just the right times and "We are Troubleshooters" usually starts playing when she arrives. Shit always brought a smile to my face.

>>723398484
>she is quite literally toxic
I fixed her at the end of DLC2, now she is healed

>>723396438
Like nuXCOM gameplay in a story campaign, but with character building autism that lets you break the game.
Miss wannabe hero taking unlimited turns while oneshotting all the enemies never gets old.

>>723395024 (OP)
>trouble shooter
>has nothing to do with battle mania
disappointing, but i do like xcom so this might be cool

>>723396438
XCOM for Korean weebs with a fuckton of grinding and it's always online despite being a singleplayer game, I guess because they didn't want you skipping grinding with cheats.

If you like Korea, anime and Disgaea tier grinding of named units, then it's for you.

>>723397659
Give and take

sex the strawberry loli

>>723399039
there's an offline mode that lets your freely cheat, i'm pretty sure there are cheat options in the game now, you only need to keep an online file if you want to do multiplayer stuff

>>723399210
>sex the strawberry loli
She killed at least hundreds.... Maybe more.

>>723399039
>and it's always online despite being a singleplayer game, I guess because they didn't want you skipping grinding with cheats.
I don't get why you would lie about something that gets disproved by just booting up the game

>>723399332
Why be a disingenuous cunt? Offline saves cannot go online and will never be able to access online only features, so virtually no one makes an offline save.

>>723399474
>so virtually no one makes an offline save.
I have played exclusively offline for my nearly 500 hours of game time. The "online features" are just multiplayer matches which I didn't care about at all.

Can you really romance the MILF?

Ray has some pretty nice cans

>>723396337
holy mother of based, reddit must hate this game

>>723399635
....no

>>723399653
I get it

That reminds me. I still have to wrap up Crimson Crow and some side missions from Lion & Witch. The game doesn't fuck around anymore and I don't have willpower to go through the grind. So cruel.
>>723399474
I play offline.

>>723399676
>more complex than xcom
not really

>>723399635
Albus is too autistic to realize that Giselle wants his dick

>>723399827
Why is Dumbledore in this game?

>>723399692
I beat both without grinding. L&W is pretty easy but Crimson Crow does not fuck around.

do you play as the red hair girl?

>>723400087
yes

>>723400087
Yes, despite being the mascot of the game she's not the main character but she joins the team pretty early on

>>723397284
is this sped up? My game definitely feels slower than that

>>723400312
you can change gamespeed in the settings

What ESP power would /v/ like to have?

>>723400416
I wasn't really paying attention to carter's whole shtick until this point where I stood up and screamed KINO at the top of my lungs

>>723400053
>I beat both without grinding
You don't understand. I need that super rare weapon and mastery spawned from one specific boss in that one single mission. Why there is only two fucking hunters in entire game? Fuck you Dragonslayer John.
>L&W is pretty easy
Bunker and abandoned military base are quite hard. But yeah. Crimson Crow is much harder so far.

>>723395024 (OP)
Game 2 never ever.

>>723400568
>Have we started the fire?
>Yes, the fire rises

>>723400635
Dandy said it should be ready for early access in the first half of next year but I'm not getting too optimistic.

>>723397585
Yeah I think he's talking about /vst/. Troubleshooter never gets discussed on /vrpg/ and /vrpg/ is a shitposting hellhole anyway. (Yes yes, which board ISN'T nowadays?)

>>723399823
Yeah, the game slavishly copies a lot of XCOM mechanics like the cover stuff but none of it matters because it's all about grinding up your dudes and steamrolling.

>>723401251
you don't really need to grind until the DLC levels and most of your character's strengths comes from masteries, and the many of ones worth using aren't available until you advance far enough in the story.
the only grinding that really needs to be done is for certain legendary item drops from enemies and just general crafting materials to make and upgrade late-game gear.
If you have to grind to get through any of the base game content, that is unironically a skill issue

>>723401251
I never once grinded and ignored every side mission going through the game. Pretty sure I was consistantly 3-5 levels under the recommended value and I still dide just fine. I distinctly remember beating the final mission of DLC2 with all my units 5 levels underleveled and only random junk items I got as mission rewards.

>>723401790
>I played like a bitch and turtled and kited for 2 hours on every mission
you do you

>>723401989
nah I beat the whole game + DLC in about 80 hours (60 for base, 20 for DLC1+2) iirc. The only missions I turtled was the DLC2 red sand missions because reaction shot hell hard counters playing aggresive and I didn't know how OP draki's perfect scale was at countering them.

>>723401989
it's a tactics RPG, you're supposed to use tactics

You just know...

>>723395024 (OP)
Anyone here just hated or disliked Sion and Albus? These two always came off as false, two faced to me despite their actions. Even Gislene being a huge bitch when joining wasn't ticking me off like those two. I can't put my finger on it. Is it just my artism?

Best girl

>>723397284
>his Alisa takes damage
lmao
my wife is invincible

>>723403294
They probably both seem a bit two-faced because Albus and Sion are pretty tight-lipped about their past. Albus's parents and Sion's oldest brother Visha were both a part of the old Silverlining troubleshooter company but they don't acknowledge it at all between each other.
For Sion I think it's just because he's the type of guy that doesn't like the dwell on sad things, but we do see Albus being coy several times throughout the story about his motivation for running a troubleshooter company and he does tend to put up a polite facade towards certain people despite his personal feelings towards them. It's probably not anything actively malicious but he's not real honest either.

>>723404816
There is literally mandatory payments to all characters after certain time periods or did you miss that?

>>723404816
>doesn't pay his employees
This says more about (Jew) than it does Albus, lol: Salaries are the best and fastest way to raise reputation among the team, and cost basically nothing at all, so you always want to to pay them as often as possible and give them the paltry bonus cash every single time.

>>723405216
That mission where you have to play against Alan at the police training facility to get a really good skill and you just realized you forgot to remove the party kit

>>723399692
Yeah, the clown niggers dlc is a bit overtuned since the devs basically pattern-analyzed what builds and masteries the best players were using and designed the (((clowns))) as kryptonite to that.
Meanwhile us casual normie fags that haven't farmed every single mastery can't even get through the first half of the dlc on normal. Still a cool game, I got more than my money's worth out of it.

>>723400416
Being a healer would actually be pretty goddamn nice: I could just sit on my ass all day and have people come up to me, paying me good money to magically roll my eyes at them and cure them of [whatever]

>>723405381
...Alan?

>>723396337
i hate that you have to use codewords like dei, woke, etc. just to say you don't want brown people in video games
otherwise, you'd get banned
so devs unironically adopt dei shit in order to shield themselves from any criticisms

>>723404091
You are thinking of those grotesque musclewoman threads where a bunch of closeted homos tries to pass each monstrosity more roided than the previous one posted as anything feminine, may as well go jerk to bodybuilders in drag. Alisa isn't even close.

I don't think wokies would even like Troubleshooter to be desu, the game doesn't demonize police officers but instead depicts them as brave first-responders who put their lives on the line for justice and to save civilians but are underfunded and overshadowed by the troubleshooters. Police = bad has been one of the core tenants of wokism since 2020 and that's ignoring the fact that the only dark-skinned characters in Abandoned Children are criminals and the fact that the girls are actually attractive.

Anne, movin' and groovin'~

Great game but I dropped it when I got into the post-game DLC and the difficulty was just insane out of nowhere. Really fuckin good until then, though.

>>723396143
>black village guy with a spear
lol

>>723399823
I'd say the team and tactics setup is way more complicated than just choosing the equipment for your guys in XCOM. Both great games though

I do wish the game explicitly told new players that several legendary items and the best masteries can only be obtained from playing on "hard" difficulty or higher since the enemies you get them from won't spawn otherwise.
Felt pretty dumb when I only learned that after having to look up where to get some of the best equipment over 100 hours in. If I did know that I would've just played on hard and not normal from the start.

>>723410403
you have to consider that there's really important stuff to do outside of battles in xcom

No. It's AI girlfriend. Have you gone blind and can't read last three posts?

No it's not. They've shared their concept ideas and sketches. They're not the best artists but they really care and try, so it has soul.

interesting how she has a lot more awards and a cooler shoulder patch than the other ivans in that line
considering it's an academy, she's probably a CO in whatever their military system is

>>723420198
She was in special forces although that was probably after graduating officer school. It could probably just be honors for being a good student or maybe something to signify that she's technically nobility after being adopted by a nobleman.

If I had a nickel for each time a character like this appeared in a video game I would have ten cents.
