It greatly streamlines the upgrade process, but also gives you options to have mobile super units. They combine the “power circles” (I don’t remember their canon name) from CW3 with the upgrade system. You want strategy? Puzzle Solving? Just look at the ERN’s.
The upgrades always eventually made you far overpowered, its just a matter of time and Aether. No matter how bad your strategy or how screwed you were, all you had to do was just hold on and keep aether flowing and you had a guarantee win. The Forge system, as our collegue “Grabz” expertly points out, was rather broken. I really do not get what you mean by this feeling like a “shoot em up” action game? Id like it if you elaborate on that, I do not see that at all. The puzzle solving lies in one’s ability to build networks efficiently and effectively to gain as much ground as fast as possible. It is a war of attrition you need to gain as much ground as fast as possible to get a better foot hold early on. Speed is always rewarded in ANY of the Creeper World games. Your main argument is that the game doesn’t feel like it rewards problem solving skills, and yet the very things you take issue with, are the things that MAKE the game reward problem solving skills. And there are certainly more enemy types than before. I suppose you two have not commented since the full release so I cannot assume you hold the same opinions you did, but everything that was removed has been balanced with some other aspect.
I feel like it is the best compilation of all three games, put together and given a unique interface. This game combines elements of all three games (yes even creeper world 2). If patches still in progress-how about allowing player to select length of runway? In one game had to terp a couple mountains to get a long enough level strip. They don't require mapping specific terrain. They weren't in CW1-perhaps if this is a return to the old game, they seemed less important? Would think reactors easier than miners. This very much needs a clear description of the interface and information it provides. Still looking for a way to determine current terrain height. Why abandon the multi-level upgrade system? It helped gameplay, especially in speeding things up. It looks like the design of this version skews things in that direction. So far, most-if not all-of the maps (from Mark V, Span Experiments, and Colonies) I've tried reward speed rather than puzzle-solving skills.
Of the four, this feels the most like a "shoot 'em up" action game. CW1 not so much, so this may bring it back to life. Prefer CW3 and still occasionally play CW2.
