Feathers 最近的评测

after having 100%'d this rerelease/remaster twice in 3-4 days, i can very much say this is a very very very good version of OFF. literally my only nitpicks are like, some sound effect design, missing competences from enemies (secretaries) and that a certain endgame boss' "fullscreen" attacks don't display their names unless battle speed is set to "Patient".

some people may not like the new soundtrack and that's understandable, ACC did not want to worry about rights to his own music, but i don't think the new ost is all that bad, just a very different vibe (and i didn't even like the new endgame music that much at first)- but i've warmed up to it pretty nicely!
(even then, maybe someone will find a way to mod the game for those who would want the old ost back, who knows)

besides that, i do also really like the updated battle gameplay, it isn't too much different but the game balance actually has a little bit of give now! i still don't think it's particularly difficult with my opinion being that the main game difficulty peaks at like, zone 2, and starts mellowing out after, eventually hitting a point of "pretty much a non-issue if you pay just enough attention", barring most of the optional content (that and doing the optional content will make you rather strong relative to the main game though this is far from the only game to be like this) but it's not like i can just play the battles half-asleep anymore

all that is to reiterate that i really really like OFF and have been a fan for at least over a decade and i really really like this version of OFF too

p.s. i would also say that besides whatever reasons one might have not to do so, i would recommend setting battle speed to "Unrelenting" if only because it makes the game flow fast in a good way (and rather similarly to the original too)
additional addendum: so as really fun as "Unrelenting" battle speed is, it also makes the game actually much easier, especially some endgame encounters lol, so that's something to consider

genuinely pretty damn good remaster of HW1 and its campaigns. i have not played multiplayer in this game yet, so i do not know how networking/latency holds up, but the game itself definitely feels like hammerwatch, with some minor additions. of course, it is different, since it follows heroes of hammerwatch's control style rather than the original's, but i don't mind too much. the addition of a new campaign set in shaftlocke tower is also really cool! i do miss some of the other small-ish side-campaign maps, but those can probably be remade and put on the workshop.

i like the videos game 👍
