Is it good?

>>723825436 (OP)
Yes

>>723825436 (OP)
I never finished it. The lore is cool but everything feels like a downgrade from age of decadence
worth trying though. maybe you'll get more out of it

>>723825549
It's a much more streamlined experience, which isn't that bad considering what a mess AoD felt like at some points. My only real complaint is everything taking forever to die where AoD had fast and brutal fights, with drawn out ones only happening against massive groups

>>723825436 (OP)
It's pretty cool though it's not a long game, I think it makes up for it in replayability, for instance you can get through the whole game without killing anyone.

Buy it regardless because I want them to finish their battle brothers clone

>>723825436 (OP)
>Is it good?
Yes, but The Age of Decadence was better. I miss the role-playing part.

>>723827139
like AoD's roleplaying was better
sure, you could join a few more different factions
at the end of the day, you're a ruthless opportunist regardless if you kill people or manipulate them

>>723825529
Based. I sided with the church but I did the quest to get the protectors on board and I think I did a deal with those technician guys too, so I was wondering what a pure church victory would look like. It would have been nice to side with them in the first town but I had no idea what factions existed by then.

>>723827435
Fairly certain the protectors still attack because it's fucking huge, but their leader is the one who says they'll serve when everyone calms down

>>723827570
you replace le based black pope? kek
the game really needed more companions, it's not like they talk much anyway.
I wanted to make an harem team but the second female companion was tied to the protectors and it's not like the blue woman wanted to hang much with me either.

Man, we really need more slav crpgs... they're so soulful.

>>723828285
That's the idea anyway.

>>723825436 (OP)
its ok also remember to train stealth you need it to get most endings

Is age of decadence actually good

>>723829057
huh?
no you don't
>>723829137
yeah

>>723829206
>huh?
>no you don't
You need to get the pilot permisson thingy that allows you to control the computer to cahnge the direction of the ship there are 2 places where you can get it and both require stealth

I want to play age of decadence again, I don't know why when I was younger I'd reach the last boss/area of a game and just quit.
It's fucking annoying in retrospective.
I remember reaching the ruins and some mummy showed up and I just moved on to play other stuff.

>>723829563
nah
you can blast apart the security in the command center if you're not a bitch

>>723829746
how did you do it i got instagibed when i tried

>>723829746
smoke grenades to dodge laser turrets
prioritize killing the autobots before they kill you

i cheated as soon the game started and put all the max stat passives from the character creator in my character :)

>>723829875
>>723829938
derp
>>723830086
i bet you still lost

>>723830169
no... I did well until the mutant queen fight. I kept getting raped no matter what so I cheated infinite granades :)

>>723830321
Look at what you need to mimic a fraction of my power

>>723829137
>Is age of decadence actually good
It's great

>>723825436 (OP)
I tried to play it near release but the UI is user hostile, on a 4k screen the font is so fucking tiny it's unreadable. Also in the first area whatever it's called the navigation was always clunky as hell, the party would always get stuck somewhere and I'd have to handhold them constantly. After few fights the inventory management started to get cluttered and I thought if this is how bad in just the first area, rest of the game will be me fighting the user interface rather than the game itself.
So I dropped it, I don't care how good the game is when the UI is so fucking bad. Maybe they patched it up down the line but I don't care, the game just screams clunky like no other game I've ever played.

>>723827570
Somehow I never got war ending

>>723830459
don't you get extra bonuses if you play alone with one of the feats?
I played most of the game with only 2 companions because I killed the negro from the starting town because of my racism :(

>>723830738
small indie studio, please understand

>>723830929
You get two more AP and extra critical chance with some evasion, IIRC.

Jed is the most annoying jackass you can recruit, so I fully understand. At the very least, he finally lightens up at the end.

Age of Decadence felt impossible outside of making very specific decisions that would let me squeak through the progress bottlenecks. If I tried anything else it seemed like there was no shot at success. Colony Ship was a lot more playable but I didn't find the combat/setting that interesting so I only made it about 6 hours in, my last achievement was "help the Grangers fix the bioreactor"

>>723831174
I cheated in Age of Decadence too.
I spawned infinite granades :)

>>723825436 (OP)
no, the camera is awful and the inventory system is garbage, and the combat is tedious

>>723831264
I don't care.

>>723831321
every game is easier if you cheat :)

I love warlockracy's vid on this game bros

What's wrong with the inventory? Pretty sure there's no weight/space limit and there's an autosort and tabs for show weapons only and shit.

>>723831564
It's annoying and ugly.

Honestly who the fuck would pick the brotherhood besides the most derranged anarchist?
We're in a centennial tin can in the middle of uncharted space and they just want to fuck shit up...

Does this game have any cute rats?

>>723831932
Only frogs and jellyfish

>>723829137
Yup.

Just remember your choices actually matter and the game will change accordingly (but it does respect your choices)

>>723832405
Why no rats?

Ratbump

I played this a while back, did it get an update?

>>723825436 (OP)
Loved the idea, execution was ass

>>723832641
I don't remember the lore well but I think people live from mold they grow, if there was a rat around it would become ratburger instantly.

So is this game finished yet? Do you land on the alien planet in the end?

what's with the rats

>>723825436 (OP)
I played it at release, dunno if they've added more content and interactions with your party but at least when I played it was dogshit boring. I did enjoy the settings and combat, but that's it.
Only thing I can remember is Smiley and the escape from prison sequence.

>>723837692
ANYONE?

>>723838990
your rat avataring is driving posters away

>>723839052
I'm not avatarfagging

Bump

>>723837692
No, the entire premise is you're never gonna arrive in your lifetime.

>>723825436 (OP)
No, which breaks my heart

>>723842157
So... the game is unfinished?

>>723842565
No, because the big reveal is you've been in orbit around the planet for generations

>>723825436 (OP)
Yes it is.
t. over a 100 hours in the game

>Ratposter fucking ruins thread
More news at 11. Get bent, nigger.

>>723842617
Bruh, i didn't expect that. Reminds me of the movie pandorum lol
So is iron tower studio still a thing? Are they gonna make a sequel to this?

>>723842773
It wasn't me you double nigger. If anything i kept this thread alive

>>723843085
>Bruh, i didn't expect that.
First encounter with the colony ship genre of sci fi?
As for the studio. Yes they still exist, but barely. They have hopefully one more game in them, if all goes well, which can fund a colony ship sequel. The current dev game is like a Lovecraftian Age of Conan tier Battle Brothers, or so it is said.

Age of Decadence had a sense of wonder and intrigue that Colony Ship lacks. The Zoroastrian+Western Roman setting was kino galore, and then the decision to mimic early Christendom with Lord Meru was great. Didn't see anything to catch my eye like that in Colony Ship

>>723843337
meh
i much preferred colony ship's story of a desperate and ill-thought christian attempt at finding a better life that nearly failed because of huma nature only to end up succeeding

>>723843206
Neat. Shame tho, i wanted to see what happens after they land. Maybe convert medieval age aliens to christianity or some shit lmao
Shame about the studio barely holding on tho. They seem to make hardcore games for the love of it

>>723843501
That would be the sequel of the game. But we might never get a sequel to the game.
Their potential new game goes to funding said potential sequel.

>>723843581
Fingers crossed

>>723842617
couldn't they just look through a window?
I guess I didn't pay attention but they needed certain modules of the ship to do some work in the planet before they could land themselves right?

>>723844537
In colony ship ltierature only the bridge has windows usually.

>>723844537
The ship is a refurbished cargo freighter, IIRC.

Is there any other game that lets you do anything as fucked up and retarded as this?

The people who discovered what I have done:
"YOU MANIAC! YOU SENT US BACK! AAH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL THE WAY TO HELL!"

>>723844702
oh, I have only watched colony ship movies, like the one where the guy wakes up some bitch to keep him company, the one where they wake up underwater and the one where the criminal nigger wins, I didn't like that last one.

>>723845041
Honestly your companions should have tried to kill you for that

>>723845149
They're too retarded.
>THIS SHOULD BE WITH THE PROTECTORS! OH NO, THE PROTECTORS AREN'T SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS
>WE SHOULD SIDE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO TAKE US OVER! OH SHIT, THEY'RE FUCKING CRAZY
>EVERYTHING SUCKS! WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING AND TRUSTING ANYONE???
a boon of going solo is not having to put up with their fucking whining

>>723845041
Of course it was retarded, that was the brotherhood of retards plan.

>>723845381
what

>>723845484
wasn't that the brotherhood plan? Just turn around the ship?

>>723845521
no, it was take over the ship because muh tyranny

Sleepy bump

>>723845128
First is passengers and i'm pretty sure the second is pandorum. The third idk

The story structure in this one is way worse than in AoD, you basically have to do extremely retarded shit like >>723845041 to get anything resembling a bad ending because the cyborg dude is pretty much a dominant faction on the ship and if you just go along with their plan everything works out well. It doesn't really feel earned. There's also not much point beating all those hard checks to get to the lander, it's pretty much irrelevant and the ending variation if you take the lander yourself is also pretty fucking dumb. Overall I was disappointed with the story but the combats were nice at least, I enjoyed playing both a cult leader with no combat stats and a Slab McChunk the genociding cyber warrior

>>723847427
not getting a good ending because your CHA is too low was a retarded fucking mechanic, anon

>>723847319
third is Air (2015) but it's not a colony ship, it's about 2 guys who all alone are taking care of people in cryogenic sleep underground.
Because of the similar themes, I got confused.

I still double click running everywhere like it's Age of Decadence

>>723847876
AoD has some really strict stat restriction for the god ending too

>>723851314
7 CON, 8 PER, and 7 INT
fucking weird but okay

For me, it's the tard wrangler ending.

>>723825436 (OP)
I enjoyed it

to credits
>>723851465
you fucking moron

>>723830738
they've made a lot of updates since release. I play on 4k and it was fine and don't really remember any bugs

think of the poor native wild life...
we have to go back

>>723852004
nah, fuck them
I am a nigh immune to psychic when on LSD human demigod, and I will lead my people in the conquest of the promised land.

The rage and guilt inside me can only be quelled by the blood and subjugation of the unclean.

Still made they didn't include a proper power armor, such a lost opportunity

>>723852496
But anon...

>>723852938
Yeah, I got the set from the lander room but it's way too sleek and the whole powered thing is just fluff
