Thank you very much for the video and the support! =)
We are looking into adding a map to the game (we tried with several artists but we couldn't nail it), alongside other QoL features like Custom combat difficulty, Font Size, Follow Camera, among other things.
Once again, thank you for the coverage and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the game. Hopefully, we can fund our next one and continue to provide our style of games.
Hopefully that occult 16th century inquisition game will get made. 🙏 deus vult
When could we expect those patches to roll in?
Awesome game!
@@Lulasz Probably in a few weeks. We've made some updates to fix a few bugs that appeared, now we are focusing on these improvements =)
@@ElhoimCrow Great, thanks for response!
Another fantastic game from you guys. I enjoyed it so much, hope you add more content in the future
Btw, for those who liked the setting and dont know Robert Heinlein, the studio's writer is a big fan of his and took one of his books called "Orphans of the Sky" as the main inspiration for the game.
Fantastic game, wish it was longer. Not many games can give me the vibe of original Fallouts, which this game amazingly did. I would LOVE a sequel for this.
I can't believe i finished a single playthrough before Mortismal 100percented the same entire game, this is the crowning achievement of my entire gamer life lol
Technically he may have 100%it first. You just finished before he also wrote, filmed, edited and uploaded a review.
@@egamruf You're just jelly that's all.
@@PasDeBrasFR Naw dog, you just took my first comment seriously, when it was light humour.
@@PasDeBrasFRTon pseudo ne vas pas avec ton accomplissent 😜
@egamruf I think his reply may have been light humour also...
Yep still in the middle of playing this game and i got the Fallout 2 experience back in the day when i was young and found that game :) not many games give me that same experience i once had with video games in the past hope the studio lives on to make new games in the future!
Mortismal, your channel and reviews are fast becoming my go to space to take in genuinely good information and perspective, in relation to video games.
Excellent work ethic, quality presentation.
🤌🤌🤌
If this game is inspired by Fallout, then getting trapped by your party isn't a bug. It's a feature!
It isn't, though? It has no similarites, it's completely its own CRPG.
It was a joke@@SyndicateOperative
@@SyndicateOperative I'd say it is. I was getting Fallout vibes all along -- the quests, the factions, the characters skills, even the computer interface is similar to the Pip-Boy. But obviously the story setting is different, and it's an isometric turn-based tactics game instead of a 3d shooter. Nothing wrong with being inspired by other games.
@@SyndicateOperativewent right over your head huh
@@SyndicateOperativeand fyi the game creators said they were inspired by fallout more specifically vault 11 and vault 12
The story seems to be lifted from Robert Heinlein's 'Orphans of the Sky'. It's a short novel about a generation ship that suffered a mutiny and lost the technical expertise to pilot the ship (or do much else).
It's a good idea. Sadly, the main quest is not that good to justify the whole game.
Just to add on to what Mortismal said- while your party members can use most of the same skills you do, the three interaction skills are main character only (at least they were when I played the game).
Great combat, unique setting and excellent character creation. The only issue that I have with the game is that I want MORE. I hope it sells well and Iron tower will give us even more great games!
Games good! If you like CRPGs please support indie devs. Genre is small enough and good games few and far between (although 2023 is a oasis with all the releases)
can't agree more, with companies like bethesda and ubisoft copypasting all those crap every 5 years and gaining insane amounts of money, indie producers spending so much time and effort one a genre with a reasonable amount of folllowers should be supported. i personally pirated the game because i wasn't sure how it would be and just about to finish it. but i'll be buying this on full price when i receive my next paycheck for me and for one of my buddies.
Thank you for covering this gem!
I've been interested in this game ever since Warlockracy did a video on it. Might have to check it out now that it's finished.
I did not know Colony ship was a thing till just now. I'm gonna have to play it.
This looks like a much more playable experience then AoD, which i did try out way back in EA. I just might give that demo and chance, and see if sound design is up to the visuals and GP standards. If so.... i'd love to play through it.
Really enjoyed this game so far, so many routes to choose that don't have to involve violence!
This has definitively made me want to try other games from Iron Tower Studio's, will be giving 'The Age of Decadence' a go soon!
I am really looking forward to Colony Ship, because Age of Decadence was GREAT! One of the very few games where when I was playing a high int high Charisma character focused on dialogue, the situation almost always allowed me to say and do the thing I first felt I wanted to do. That's kind of incredible, you know? Anticipating the player to that level and weaving it into a genuinely good story.
Fully agreed!@@JB-xl2jc
@@JB-xl2jc "looking forward to... "
Hmm, Colony Ship was fully released last week, on Nov 9th.
(Not sure if I interpreted you correctly, but-thought I'd mention it just in case you didn't know.)
@@smoofbrain Oh yeah, appreciate it! Just meant I'm working through my backlog of games and it's high on my list. Maybe tonight or tomorrow in fact. Excited!
this looks really good
Looks super promising! I'll certainly check it out. Thanks Mort, excellent and helpful as usual
Loved the game. Hope we get more from Iron Tower. Age of Decadence is a cult classic.
Thanks! We are looking forward making more =)
Good Review as usual.
Btw about the Story, it is based on Robert A. Heinleins Book titled "Orphans of the Stars" on which the game is based on as reference. It features the same premise with Mutiny, Mutants etc.
The Ending of it is also quite interesting.
Thanks, that's very useful information, now I'm thinking about reading it, the premises are interesting indeed
Brian Aldiss " Non- Stop" , also...
For the machine god!
That being said, I would appreciate it if we could disable this "battle scars" feature, where your characters permanently become worse and worse in their stats whenever they are downed.
Love the atmosphere and setup nonetheless, definitely a hidden gem for people who don't mind more difficult crpg!
We'll consider it =)
Something to take into account is that it adds a bit of evasion and increased death timer, so it's not fully a negative, and it doesn't happen on every fall but 1-3-5-7-10, capping there. We didn't want to go overboard with the bonuses as players would seek falling down to get them XD
Very intrigued by this premise for a game. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I recommended EVERYONE play this game on Hero mode. Like the devs of Underrail, these devs are obsessed with difficulty to the point of it not being enjoyable in the slightest on underdog mode. Fair warning. Do not give in to the Dev's attempts to guilt you into playing Underdog mode. Amazing game, however, beat the first playthrough in 30 hours!
We'll donate money to dog shelter's for everyone that completes the game in Underdog! Think of the puppies! 🐶💕
Just kidding, we know it's a very particular experience. It comes from wanting combat not to be the default, everyone can do it path, but something for you to consider using other methods to avoid. It's about setting a tone in which combat is a deadly affair, and speech options are not a cosmetic choice but something you want to use to avoid a confrontation. When you meet a bandit in any other game that says "Your money or your life", you know there's no real threat there, that you'll take his money and his life. Here, you'll start considering doing what the nice man says. We think that it adds a lot to the setting and to the weight of your choices. That's what we meant with the intended way to play.
But we definitely recommend Hero both as a way to play and also as a way to get used to the game systems. We'll be adding custom difficulty options in a later update =)
This is the game by Age of Decadence devs. It's automatically excellently good and worth taking ASAP if you like turn-based RPGs
Thanks for the review. I loved Age of Decadence and this looks just too good. Will definitely give it a try.
Great review. Completely agree about the setting being great, and the small downside at the end where things tend to play too same-ish. The combat requires thinking, but also understanding that you don't have to do it, and sometimes you should really go and level up your skills and gear. And use grenades.
This is such an amazing setting. Just finished it, I left a few side things undone, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
So it' basically the plot of Brian Aldiss' Non Stop.
Heinlein's " Orphans of the sky " is older & Aldiss wrote Non Stop as a sort of response to it
I agree, there are some issues with the game but it's mostly due to limitations of them being an indie team. Despite that they killed it with what they had. I always imagine that talented teams like this can do crazy stuff with a bigger budget. Either way very enjoyable experience and I look forward to anything else this team releases. I am glad I bought the game when you did your first look video.
i was waiting for this review!
Hey Mort, do you stick with one game at a time when 100%ing it? Or do you have scheduling for several games throughout the daily/weekly routine?
The second one, if I remember correctly from his video abut how he makes his videos.
It mostly depends on what the schedule looks like for new releases, generally 1 at a time, but sometimes I have to juggle
@@MortismalGaming cool to hear! thanks for the answer, have a good night.
Lol I just got this game last week. My only issue with the story is that I feel like the size of the ship is kinda silly. Like on the one hand they talk about in the hab (big city) everyone basically sleeps in pods with a nutrient tab machine and a rec room outside to save space. But also hydroponics is the size of a real forest, and the factory is large enough to have multiple fortresses in it. Like how big is the ship?
Thanks for 100%-ing Colony Ship Mortim!
I just reached the habitat and this man here already got trough everything lol.
Age of Decadence is one of my favorite games!
Would definitely give this a try once i have some free time
The story of this sounds so damn good. I wish more devs followed Owlcat in their difficulty sliders. I'm not a great turn based tactician. Really been such a great last few years for CRPGs. I'm sure BG3 too has shown the industry that the genre is not at all dead.
The genre has never been dead.
@@mhjmstultiens It was. It isn't anymore and hasn't been in a decade thanks to Kickstarter and other platforms like it helping usher it's return.
Indeed a boost through Kickstarter and other initiatives. The genre was never dead though, just dormant to the mainstream public.
@@CrazyxEnigma Well, there is a great difference between death and crisis. And even when CRPGs were in crisis, the genre was in better condition than RTS, for example.
@@nikmenn2751 I'm not near as familiar with RTS. The last big one was Warcraft 3 in the early 00s right? And then pretty much nothing until StarCraft 2 which if I remember the years right was about eight to ten years later. Unlike CRPGs there hasn't been a whole lot after SC2. The third SpellForce game looked cool but I've never played it and Age of Empires has gotten some life with the remasters and the fourth one I think is new.
After Troika went under and Bioware moved to more action and cinematic games the only two that came out in the mid 00s and later where NWN2 and DAO the latter being considered the swan song for the genre at the time.
For anyone wondering, it is actually possible to finish this game solo as a murder hobo like in AOD. And the game rewards you for murdering everyone you come across with a fitting ‘Psychopath’ title in your combat tab.
It is possible although some encounters really forced me to reload a shit ton of times while using only the PC and maxing on blade and evasion/armor/critical
Any game that lets you do a mostly diplomatic/pacifist run is good to see, as long as you don't get screwed on mandatory fights (looking at you Deus ex HR pre-director's cut)
Bro' why would you play a *shooter* and not shoot anybody ?
I know you are probably talking about the fact that you can use non-lethal takedowns and stuff like that but come on ...
@@RetrospectiveChannel if it was a pure shooter I wouldn't have played it at all, it's not Call of duty
This game actually allows you to do a 100% pacifist run, and there's even an achievement for that("negotiator"). There are 0 mandatory fights in the game.
I have been following this game since early access and I must say, the whole idea of a CRPG inside a generational Colony Ship is really appealing to me.
In fact, forget the CRPG part, I'd even love a First/Third Person RPG variation of this (I'm saying Fallout 1/2 vs Fallout 3/4).
Very thorough thank you.
I wouldn't say choice doesn't really matter. It just doesn't really affect the playthrough, only the conclusion of the story. Oh, and Faction Rep does have a weight, in certain ending options. Provided you gave your elected faction a chance to accept a negociation at the very end.
I wouldn't change anything in this game. I enjoyed it. Even if I often cursed it.
I love this game and I'm really hoping the devs will sell enough to make the sequel, thank you for covering it!
Recently finished my first playthrough after release (done numerous ones during EA) and watching your video it kinda comes the itch to do another one.
Thank you for bringing this game to my attention. I hadn't heard of it, and it sounds right up my alley.
I liked the beginning of the stealth segment of this vid. Opens door and:
"Who's there?
It was probably nothing."
Or just the wind.
Hey, Mortm. Guess what. SUBSCRIBED, THATS WHAT. Great content. Thanks for making this.
Guessing Metamorphosis Alpha is an inspiration for this game. Very interesting setting.
I really liked the pacifist/talker run, just like the diplomat in AoD🙂 Good show sir
It's almost like Insomnia- The Ark if it was less buggy and with more content.
This sounds amazing, I will definitely buy it some time in the future. It reminds me somewhat of the movie Pandorum!
Currently on sale of you haven't already bought it.
Ive just got a new laptop but haven't got round to getting any games yet. I saw a few bits of coverage for this before but this video has really peaked my interest. I'm guessing/hoping the absence of a separate mouse will not be a problem with the game? Would be good to have a game i can play when I'm traveling away for home.
Glad Vince still got it and AoD wasn't a one hit wonder.
This sounds really interesting!
Have you checked out Wantless:Solace at world´s end? Seems interesting as well, would be interesting to hear your take on it... 🙂
I never had the time to invest in Age of Decadence, but I think I will be grabbing Colony Ship.. I dont usually buy games until theyve had all the updates though.
I've had my eyes on this for quite a while.
Looks cool
Glad to hear its good. I'll certainly pick it up.
But firsr: how viable is melee and are there unarmed weapons?
Its viable, and no
Thank you for your review! This one looks really nice! ;) There´s only one crucial question for me: If skilling your character in a certain way is the key to success - how much variety do you have during one single playthrough? Like: If you put your points in stealth, you will obviously do a lot of stealthplay...but...is there still a chance to persuade or fight someone SOMETIMES (e.g. if you choose so out of roleplaying reasons) or do you have to stick to one particular playstyle, min-maxing 100% to be successful? (Similar question, same direction: Are there enough skill points for doing some mix-up, like 70% stealth / 30% persuasion, to have more ways to solve a problem or would this just destroy youre whole playthrough?)
You can do some hybrid builds yeah but it will make more the game more difficult if you arent prepared for things
Did a Talk no jutsu build, truly Op. It's a fun game, but it looks like the game "starts" in the ending, I overcloked some implants, got new wepons, only to have walls of text, got a nice ending tho
What game is your intro screenshot from? I've always thought it looked interesting
Regarding combat, is it possible to flee combat? Like if you are playing a non-combat build, and somehow end up triggering open conflict, can you run away to break combat? Or is it then locked into either just quick loading an old save, or painting the floor with blood?
Once combat starts it's either victory or death (or reload an old save). There is no fleeing.
thanks again
I don't know if I missed it in the video, but any thoughts on the level design in relation to combat? All looks quite cramped, which I guess makes some sense for the setting, but it seems like it'd limit the combat a lot
Trust me as a melee character I wish that was true some encounters provide cover but for my character to close the gap I need to cross large portion of the map , but that's not to say that you don't have options like smoke grenades or feats that give you doge moving undetected or just tanking the damage .
For the algorithm!
Someday I'd be fascinated to see how you handle your save games when doing these 100% reviews. I imagine lots of them at different points just in case.
Yeah just hundreds of them usually, games that organize them by character automatically are very helpful
This was a great game. I'm glad its getting press.
Game of the year for me. Thats what true RPG should play / feel like. Hope this sells well and we will see an AoD II.
As someone who has less and less time to game, it's always fun to watch your videos. Kind of scratches that itch of playing the games themselves for me!
I prefer the term Starborn to Shipborn, I mean only in terms of sounding cooler, but I fully support this game. Have not played it yet though (I am diving deep into IWD2EE with high-level encounters, then BG3, then PF:WotR, oof).
Thanks for this. This should tide me over until Rogue Trader...
Did anyone remember Septerra Core? The game 3D somehow reminds me of it lol.
For me its more like Fallout 2
Yeah, I had exactly the same feeling when I've done my first run after release from early access. Age of Decadence, even though Colony ship is overall the better game, had the biggest killer-feature - a truly non-linear storytelling with unique gated content like characters, locations etc. Yes, Colony Ship is more friendly, has better role-playing system which allows you create hybrid characters a lot easier, quests always can be done with multiple ways, setting is awesome, but it feels that faction branches aren't that much different. I dunno if it was decision from Iron Tower, because they wanted to focus on other aspects of the game, or it is just a fault, but it's disappoints a little. I hope that future update will partially fix that.
It's Mass effect 3: pick your colors ending again. I'm sure it's a budget issue.
@@odinonion4619 Age of Decadence had a budget issue too, even more, but still has tougher choices and consequences.
Great take my man. I also just finnished the game, and even tho combat was a lot better than in AoD, the linear story was a big dissapointement.
Stupid question. Are there quest markers in this game? I got super frustrated with Age of Decadence’s lack of quest markers. I didn’t know where to go and what to do. It’s a very basic QoL feature that was sorely needed.
This game looks incredible… It really gives me a Fallout 1 & 2 vibe. With all of the great games that came out this year, this one flew right under my radar and is a pleasant surprise. Thanks for reviewing it. I’m looking forward to checking this one out.
Gronk!
Thanks for the review. Any plans on covering STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R? Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
No current plans
He is mostly a cRPG guy
How long did a full playthrough take?
Pacifist run sounds always great for me. Question is, what do the companions offer you in that case? I normally play more of a "talker run". Where I do the talking and companions are skilled for fighting, because my PC sucks at combat.
A quest and dialogue here and there mostly, they can also make up for skills you dont have like making them lockpick or biotech for you
@@MortismalGaming Thank you ❤ That sounds like a good addition for anti combat skill checks.
The most inclined RPG in recent years
Hey will you check out/review Realms of Ruin?
Not planning a review but I'll take a look at it
One minor complaint I have is that when you go the non-fighting route (skill and dialogue checks only), your gear and talents become largely useless as they are almost all combat focused, so loot and even money means almost nothing. The game is still fun but there isn't much incentive to do everything as any rewards you get are meaningless. That said, just having the option to resolve all issues without fighting is fun and I did it on my first playthrough. Now going to do another one where I just kill everything and see how it differs.
Game isn’t for me but I’m glad others are enjoying it!
The underdog difficulty is really hard. It seems like a tiny encounter requires a ton of tries.
If you keep at it sooner or later you will get the hang of it , some enemies don't have Helmets for example that means you do extra damage to the head but then you might not have the hit chance to do so well that's why you lower their evasion by attacking their legs first but then you don't have the AP to do both I hear you say well then just use some stims or get that extra boost from implants .
Thanks for the 100% review Morty son. I've not tried this one out, somehow the lack of any voice acting seems a little disappointing for the price.
I was actually also holding off this for Broken roads, which i'm so surprised got delayed like the day before release. Not sure if you've already got a copy but it was super last minute. Also The Thaumaturge is now delayed until 24' , which is good as the release next to Rogure Trader (RT) was way too clode for me to play both.
So the full release of RT it is next for me. I can't imaging how it out does WOTR, that gamne is so epic in all aspects, but if anyone can do it Owlcat can ! ❤💀
Where does this game stand in comparison to the Encased RPG you reviewed in 2021?
Played Encased, it was very good, especially all the short stories/interactions. I explored all the map, especially when i got the armored vehicle.
In regards to Encased, if Age of Decadence is a hint, then Colony Ship will have a better story than Encased, because the factions have more interactions with each other. As i said, Encased strength was the random events that really sold the post apocalyptic/sci-fi setting.
Found the combat a little overwhelming at times, enemies will just target your lead character and that's it, game over. And it was hard to find companions.
Not to say it's a bad game, but it can the difficulty can just spike sometimes
Same guys who did Shadowrun? Has same sound tracks and vibe.
No. These guys made Age of Decadence. The Shadowrun games were made by Harebrained Schemes who have also made Battletech and the recent The Lamplighters League.
Can you play 100% stealhy? and pacifist/nokill run?
We have an achievement for finishing the game by never going into combat. You would need to use stealth AND speech, and make certain narrative choices, but yes, it's possible.
possible, yes, but you also need to skip a lot contents.
@@ElhoimCrow sounds great! Thanks! Do you have to kill people outside combat or can you knock them out without killing ?
kinda wish we had the option to craft like the age of decadence :/
Difficult as Steam reviews make it sound ?
Yes and no, you can't simply walk the game doing stuf and pretend everything is gonna be okay. But if you take your time in learning game systems and how to play al Iron Tower games are really enjoyable. Also I will NOT go with a Lone wolf in your first play througth.
It's not difficult at all if you do a persuasion based character and largely avoid combat; you will have to learn the game mechanics if you want to do combat, however. Also some of the endings require you to get into some pretty hard fights, so if you want to experience them as well, you'll have to know your way around things.
@@albertosanchez5384 there's Lone Wolf option? Gonna regret it, but I'm picking it. Wonder if it's harder than UnderRail...
There's an easy mode, but some people say it's too easy jajaja
So we are going to add custom difficulty settings. But the easy mode is definitely way more approachable, and there's a lot of ways to avoid combats (using skills or hard narrative choices). There are some optional fights, but most of them can be tackled at any point of the game.
I have like a hunnit sitty hours in this son of a bitch already. Extremely addicting
I heard the fallout series was or is a prequel to this so I had to see
OUR LORD, MORTUM
I can’t find any crpg cyberpunk games even just good rpg isometric games,can you cut and paste me a list ?Or anyone that knows any?
The Ascent
Shadowrun (all three of the recent one's)
@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968shadowrun is good, although there is a play order. Only played dragonfall kyself
@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968 shadows run eh. Ya i been thinking about that . I guess j am looking for something like jagged alliance 2
@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968Yes, I highly recommend the Shadowrun Trilogy. My favorite cyberpunk style CRPGs. I bought em on Steam and some time ago Epic had em for free. They are on sale on Steam during every major sale and some minor ones as well. Quite affordable and even worth it at full price.
This Game is pretty much Fallout 2 just 25 years later. This means 2 things.
1, I'm old
2, I would expect more innovation in 25 years.
It's not an AAA title so....
3. You forgot that people like " true & tested, Oldie but Goldie, Retro " stuff....
Nah that's Atom RPG down to the terrible inventory system.
@@CrazyxEnigma i did play atom Rpg. When i played it 5 years ago I thought was: "20 years after fallout 2 and they made a worse russian version."
There has been a tonne of innovation. Have you seen most modern games? It's just that this is an indie game by a small team that was going for that particular vibe.
I just played this game until The Heart mission and I must say that so much I like the setting, combat etc. the game just feels very bare. The story is simply very uninteresting. The biggest problem is that the game character lacks the good motive to move forward. So far it has become clear that the strange machine in the armory is a life support system(?) and the player's only motive is to sell it. Because: he/she wants money...And because of this, the player has to do countless tasks, run around the ship and get to mixed with different factions and their war and so on.
I don't know where the story is going, but after three days of playing I must say that exploring new areas is fun but I have to constantly ask myself "why am I doing this?" Factions, major and minor, have made it clear that I don't want to support any of them, but I have to because my character wants money or whatever he wants? Actually I don't know what he wants and why he is doing all these tasks?
I understand why this machine is important for the factions, but for the player it doesn't seem to matter except how to turn it into money? Is this the whole story?
I'm not saying that my character should be "The Chosen One", but it would be good to have some kind of connection to the story. Actual purpose. This is the problem. Nothing you do seems to matter from the player's point of view.
Just finished it. Game was okay but it just felt small overall. Small maps, small areas Dont get me wrong, theres a lot of content but the game just feels small.
I’m guessing this is an only pc game?
Yeah
This sounds like what would happen to that Generational Ship that appeared over Paradiso in Starfield.
"Don't expect Bioware levels of writing here" Are talking about old school bioware or "my face is tired" kind of bioware? It's no longer clear to me if this is a good or a bad thing.
The writing is bare minimum compare to AoD. It's like.....underrail kind of writing. Nothing deep and nothing cringe.
How do you get a fourth party member... wtf?
