I'll be taking a look when it nears release. I'm not much for early adoption.

I like the charming graphical style.

I can't get over the name though. In Norwegian, "overfall" means "assault", as in mugging or even rape. ;)
Insert witty comment here.

I wonder if developers/studios actually has to check meaning of names in other languages aswell. Maybe they should for some extreme cases, not for every language but maybe for popular ones.

While marking my boardgame copy of Black Orchestra as received, I stumbled across this one. Turns out I had redeemed the Steam key, but never gave it a look.

I lost my first game in about half an hour on the second mission, getting the two starting characters killed. It seems pretty cool, with an open world exploration and a good selection of opening missions.

Of course, I'll probably forget about it and move on to something else, but that's more my failing than the game's.

And playthrough 2 done. Unlocked a third slot, a couple new characters, and still wiped.

Spent a couple hours last night on a new game. I have managed to survive a whole session, picked up a third part member, and completed the first main story mission. I lost a party member, but seeing as she was the starting cleric, I was able to revive her.

I'm sure I will end up in a TPK any time now after that successful session.

First playthrough complete after 7 hours of playtime.

There are six races to chase the main storyline through, so there's that replayability. You have two main characters at the start of the game. Finishing the first pass unlocked three more of a total of nine starting ones available. You unlock two additional party slots through the course of a game, of which you have 32 different ones to discover and unlock.

Completionists will have their hands full for quite a while.
