Bought this when it was "rare" on the blackmarket expecting one shot from each squaddie during that action. So disappointing to see just one useless grenade shoot. Complete waste of a weapon, what's the point.

Is this game not repetitive yet? also is MENACE still unbalanced as fuck and not fun to fight against?

Anon08/22/26, 22:44No.2473032

Is this the one from the Battle Bros devs? If so, I have some complaints. Overall the game feels pretty alpha. Very slow and hard, specially because you are given a suboptimal setup. I'd take a couple of tutorial maps over the info grid you are exposed early on.

Given this game another try and beat it to a end of EA point. Pure challenging diff. Kinda of mid experience at best. UI could use some upgrades like enemy list of spotted units on the left kind of like in old xcom, ability to rearrange order of your own units and ability to lighten up your own, allied and enemy units with direction(at last for vehicles) like in old xcom. I don't really like how basic start option are. I get that they keep it probably for dlc but every start is practically the same and really boring. It should be more options for various equipments sets and even for some ship upgrades, more options for starting character options too. I also dislike overall gear balance and progression. Honestly I would prefer if rewards were per operation/ mission/objective basis than getting most of your loot from enemy drops. Now there is little reason to not kill everything on the map even with merged drops. Strategic and operational parts are also lacking(or plain don't existing). Still it isn't bad game but honestly I don't think that Devs have good vision of what they want to do.

I think I should just stop buying Hooded Horse games, invariably what always seems to happen is they have a promising gameplay loop and interesting setting, but they come out in Early Access and then patch the game to cater to the hangers on from Discord or the Steam forums until it is way, way overtuned. I like this game but I just can’t play it, it’s too goddamn frustrating for me to have fun anymore.

played the demo, had high hopes then already bought the EA on discount just recently There's a very specific pleasure center in my brain tickled by this game, I love it. Having this fiddleable mechanized infantry / combined arms gameplay is a itch I didn't realize I needed scratched so much.

Anon09/03/26, 02:03No.2480894

I recently did a new run after waiting a couple of updates. I like the new OCI/ship stuff but all the new craftables seem pretty useless (except the super AK). Wish we could make non SL squads and also carry more special weaponry with the downside being a hit to max ammo carried.

The heavy assault rifle on a jetsuit Lim is something else man. With AP ammo and Pike boosting him he can wipe 2-3 squads per turn reliably and even wrecks heavy menace troops. He can alphastrike for 5 attacks in one turn while still moving for 40AP, or jump and do 4 attacks point blank (but not only on one target because then berserk won't trigger).

Anon09/08/26, 04:41No.2484066

Anyone played around with custom options? In general it's nice to have them but it feel like Devs are sidestepping issues with that. >+50% ammo Solves most of running out of ammo issues. You still want extra ammo for special weapons or vehicles. >-50% armor cost That is nice. Make infantry more affordable but honestly I just used savings on better guns or more troops. Its nice to be able to afford some heavy armor earlier tho. >180 worth trading goods That let you get some rifles for starting mission or peek into who can you hire. It's pretty nice. >Extra OCI components and PP Nice again. You can get some perks or supply tops/strafing runs early. In general it make early slog much easier.

Anon09/08/26, 05:08No.2484072

Qt Choco with dual hmg is amazing. She can shoot like 6times minimum. If she have somebody marking targets she can easily kill them in one burst. Also my current run is hmg codded one. 3double hmg and like 5 single.

Anon09/08/26, 06:13No.2484096

Shotguns are so good that it's silly. Bonus +20accuracy, barely any ACC or DMG drop off at max range, supposedly can hit more than one target or damage can carry on to another. Even half team can do great damage with them. And they are not even shooting solid slugs. Just pellet. What are these pellets made from? Neutronium?

Anon09/08/26, 08:20No.2484127

On the other side of silly. Battle rifles. Sure they wre good at range but at close? Oh may. Especially silly is their Spray skill. It just wrong in so many places. It shoot 3× many shoots but consume one standard ammo unit, take 80ap(double of normal attack) and from my experience you can't hit not only a barn door but you will probably miss a barn too. Like why it even exist. The ACC drop is ridiculous. In general the ammo mechanic feel undercooked but it's pretty visible here that Devs have no idea what the fuck do with it.

UPDATE WHEN?

Anon09/08/26, 13:50No.2484258

The mines are absolutely dogshit. Both the equipment ones and the OCI ones. Squads can just walk over them, lose maybe 2-3 guys and keep going like nothing happened. Vehicles just dgaf and roll on through. They're a huge pain in the ass to place, cost a lot of resources, and in the end do fucking nothing.

Autocannons seem to always have a use. It's only against the actual tanks they kinda fall off, but even then with the right perks, by targeting the sides and the rear and having gotten a chunk of their armor off they do better than nothing. The heavy MGs compete for the same slot but seem even more specialized against less armored enemies. And the autocannon doesn't really have any problems dealing with infantry if you have enough accuracy. They might even be better vs. heavy infantry. I tried using the twin HMG but feel like I got close to identical performance, as in actual battlefield results, than using a single autocannon, which is wild considering the twin HMG is nearly double the supply cost and eliminates your troop carriers troop carrying capability.

Anon09/09/26, 15:10No.2484976

How bad is the RNG bullshit in this game? I've played X-COM, Xenonauts, UFO AI etc, so I have a tolerance for it.My question is how much can you mitigate that 95% chance to hit missing and fucking you over with the right positioning etc? Because that's what really matters more than the raw numbers.

>she's a rich kid pretending to be a pirate! >she can bring 2x of any item you equip her with! >except drones! >she can't hit anything without using drones though! I actually think they should scrap and remove their stat growth system. All that system really means is that you have to train a shit squad leader up until they are usable, and you are expected to deal with them for most of a playthrough in order to receive that "reward". Removing stat growth entirely would just let them hard balance the SLs against each other and make it a pure what you see is what you get choice. If they're 1 stars then they get poor stats but at least they won't have so poor stats all around that they can't do anything (and they have poor all round stats because the system has to account for growth).OCI choices should be what gets you those stat gains back. They already expanded it into a massive wall of icons system, why not go all the way?

Anon09/09/26, 20:37No.2485322

Guys. Let's agree that menace is totally realistic simulation, yes, simulation , not a game, based on mutt army war manuals of small dick units. Which say that only squad leader can carry and throw grenades and when he actually throw one the whole team sit around with fingers in their asses(that to ensure that they not pull any triggers because shooting during SQL throw is forbidden, same goes for taking cover). Such realism, my hand salute itself to it. Glory to the corps!

You know how to fix the grenade and machinegun problem? 20 AP to throw grenade. 40 AP fire MG alongside squad, 40 AP fire MG alone, 40 AP squad only fires; no difference whatsoever just up to the player to manage ammo.>but then you can throw ALL the grenades! Yeah And maybe you'll actually hit with one of them Good trade for full AP bar and running into danger

Not sure what I'd done if I didn't pick a pilot/vehicle at campaign start since the MG on the APC was the only thing that could kill the raiders. I guess the one RPG you get would do as well, but it's not gonna be a walk in the park.
