    Huge Gladius fan and ive been playing a few early builds of Zephon so I already know I like it. It'll be a day one buy for me, Proxy still racking up the wins

    Zephon is an amazing game that really worked on stuff from gladius, I do wish a bit that each faction had more faction based units/tech just to make each faction feel unique like gladius was. But great game nontheless

    You had me at cthulhu raptors.
    Just came across this game last night and you convinced me. This game is right up my alley for gameplay and theme. This Dev is worth supporting!

    Yeah, I played this game's demo in 2 diferent waves, looks solid. I just don't know about longetivity, the map is kinda small and attrition is basically on every turn, but the unit design is really cool, I'd say even cooler than 40k.

    Have my eye on this one. Currently Gal Civ IV and Sins of a Solar Empire 2 has my attention. I have Pandora: First Contact and Gladius from Proxy. They have been on a roll.....fun games!

    • @ronnmozz
      @ronnmozz 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Pandora is definitely dated now but I feel like it still holds up. I feel like it is never brought up.
      Also Sins 2 is top tier! Zephon is definitely going to have me put that on pause for a bit.

    Setting seems similar to Armageddon Empires. Also a game where story is told through unit descriptions and game events.

    I slept on it for a while because I wasn't sure how I'd like it. But I got it on the christmas sale and holly shit it's amazing! Even just the writing and characters had me hooked, but the gameplay is super fun too.

    Fantastic video, really appreciate the work you put in.
    One question, how did you find the system for controlling units?
    In Gladius, I found that units which had orders spanning over several turns would get deselected and I would lose track of them (I had to use the mouse to manually look for each).
    Also, the game only had the option to cycle between idle units. Units which had an order would not be shown in an automatic way, and I had to manually manage them, which was way more work than it should have been.
    Does this game have a proper system for managing units? (both idle and active, AND those with orders spanning over multiple turns?)

  • @TurKlack

    Zephon uses the same type of gameplay Proxy used for Gladius, which is a good thing, but what sells this game to me is the setting, the art style and theme. There are a few things that I think are lacking , but I wish the game as well as the Developers success.

  • @ronnmozz
    @ronnmozz 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Gladius rules, I really enjoyed my time with the Zephon demo, it felt like a true sequel in terms of gameplay upgrades and game feel. It was definitely enough for me to switch over from Gladius.

      It's a new I.P. I hear. Is there potential for more lore here. Novels, stories at least?

    • @HelloFellowHooman
      @HelloFellowHooman หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @gameburn178 definitely, but that's up to the devs. And with the timespan they give us in the intro it leaves a lot of time to fit in side stories and expand on the lore between the invasion and then resurfacing of humanity to earth post destruction.

    Hi. Aside from the nice video, we really like your thumbnail art for it. It's creepy and pretty all at the same time. May I ask where it's from? Is it from the game itself, or from somewhere/something else? Thanks in advance!

  • @jaywerner8415

    Funny enough, I OWN all the other games this sudieo has made. The First I think was Pandora First Contact (kinda reminds me of Sid Miers Alpha Cestari), then they Made Warhammer 40,000 Gladius (I even managed to pick it up for free several years back). Now we have THIS GAME. Needless to say I am intrigued.

    Many thanks Scarlet. I'm interested in a Gladius with WH40k extracted concept, especially with the ominous setting you describe here. Do you have an idea of what price point we're looking at, so I may budget this in?

    I disagree about the story telling of dark souls, or that it is successful. I played every dark souls game and I have no idea what the story of those games is. Pretty sure many people feel like that. All factions being humans and sharing their research/unit poll really doesnt make it sound very interesting. To me it sounds more like a downgrade from gladius

    nah man, I gotta disagree Scarlet. elden ring storytelling is the worse. you'll have random characters talking to you about some kind of errrr tree(/sarcasm), or some unnamed sword, or pot, or grave, or w.e. its like playing dragon age vielguard, where sometimes the characters interactions with each other just doesn't make sense because one is talking about one thing, and the other npc is talking about another thing - leaving the players even more confused. elden ring, is similar were as. you talk to a npc, and the npc suddenly starts to talk in a riddle like rhythm with no context, making it feel like you are just passing by a conversation - in which i guess the devs wants you to piece that dialogue with a another dialogue being told from another npc, that probably has NO relations to that LAST npc that you talked too - AND if that sounded confusing, that's how i feel about fromsoft's storytelling mechanic, or lack thereof.

    ZEPHON Review limited replayability, 3 factions isn't enough and they all share the same limited pool of units.
