So is Heart of the Machine actually good?

what really annoyed me in the demo was that you were this shadow ai doing stealthy things, and then your hq just materialises into this massive tower. i thought the whole game would be more spylike. the tone shift made me not like it.

Yeah, it's a pretty fun choices matter type RPG. The turn based combat is okay, kinda simple but your ability to customize how you fight is pretty in-depth. And the 'hard mode' is well balanced so things are not just trivialized once you're further along in the game.
The citybuilding is mostly token, managing power and throughput is very rarely a challenge. The construction and maintenance costs are low enough that you are pretty much only restricted by the robotics cap.

we just had a thread about this, and no the game is ass with one of the worst UIs ever conceived by man

It's an interesting concept, but both mechanically and visually it a mess

>>2069803 (OP)
no

>>2069803 (OP)
Didn't we just have a thread about it, has it fallen off already?
The UI is busy and confusing, there's 6 gorrilion interchangeable elemental damage types, the tactical combat is not actually very tactical and bot wave tactics work the best, it's not like you are strapped for resources either. Also what other anons said.
Despite my best attempt I just don't think it's a good game

Well, link it to me because I can't find it in the archive. I 100% looked before posting.

>>2070646
Found it. Fuck, subject lines aren't searchable for whatever fucking reason.

Been watching this game since it was announced,
but not sure if its worth it.
>>2070656
Which archive is it in?

Thank you!

I am enjoying it so far. I will check back in and give my updated takes.

Did you get the dev breaking the 4th wall to tell you to stop being sneaky? That was very weird.
