Very good mod, lots of unit choices, subfactions, a collosal amount of maps, and other cool things make this a must try mod.
Few things that I personally like: AI doesn't cheat, Cyborgs, free color pallete for factions, ability to disable superweapons, lots of music multiple games, in game map editor.
Very well done mod. Definitely worth a try.
Pros:
- Good atmosphere.
- Good ambient sounds.
- Inventory management and crafting.
- Gunplay feels satisfactory.
- Good monster design.
- Good level design.
- Exploration is rewarded.
Cons:
- Item weight problems.
- Weapon balance.
- Inventory is clunky.
- Story is meh once you know it.
This mod is not noob friendly. Unless you do exactly what developers want you to do, reading wikipedia is mandatory, doing specific research path, strict gameplay loop with no choice on how you play, knowing things you wouldn't have known ahead of the time (Not selling certain items else you're screwed), then you will have a bad time.
Developers advertise 400 hours of gameplay, but no one mentioned how many of those hours you will be having fun, if at all. This all seam like a giant hamster wheel with massive grind. Maybe if game was trimmed down a lot, to let's say 40 hours, you would have a much better experience.
If I had to recommend this game, I would recommend you to save your 400 hours on other things and just avoid this. This mod requires you to read an essay and memorize it before you can even attempt to play this, even FTL on hard wasn't so cruel to me. I know that this mod is free, and that is good, since no one would pay for this experience. Good music, good atmosphere, but requirements to know things before attempting to play this mod ruins the experience, better avoid it.
P.S Reading wikipedia and doing exactly what developers want you to do is not mark of intelligence. How can you expect a person to play the game when they don't even know what games rules are or how it supposed to be played. Also Dota 2 is a live chess game, where you do need to use your brain to play.
