You lost me at the pickup truck.

[Hexagoros]

The trailer looked so good, nice visuals, big battles, and then you bring in a pickup truck and wacky music.

So sad. I'll just stick to Mount and Blade.

Bye,

that was actually the point in the trailer that got me in.

Looks janky as ♥♥♥♥ and would not be a solid M/B clone. But this idea seems silly enough that it should bring a few hours of fun with friends and beer in coop.

Instantly wishlisted!

So they lost you at the core concept phase? That's fine, every time I see a soccer game I'm like "you lost me at the part where guys started kicking a ball around a field"

[Temuldjin^]

Isn't it a solo player game?

if you liked everything except the car, just don't use the car.

[Twiggymc]

That's the part that sold me, this game just looks like the wacky out of left field kind of fun i have been looking for

While the concept may seem very fun and wacky, it still has a very serious setting and combat. The game world, lore, soldiers all takes themselves very seriously in the world they live in and for them, their reality is no laughing matter!

I myself too am personally a huge fan of medieval games like Kingdom Come, Crusader Kings and M&B:B and very rarely touch shooting games with modern weaponry, but I had an absolute blast playtesting Kingmakers. I kept thinking, what in the world must these poor soldiers be thinking when they first see my character pull out all these weapons that probably look like utter sorcery to them? I felt like a hero in a way that made more sense: due to my gear and equipment, not due to being magical or with super strength.

(edit) I'm a Community Manager btw, not a game dev so I'm speaking from my personal exp playing it so far!

I think it looks great cant wait to try it :)

I wish you guys would have made a game where the player character was a wizard or something in the same setting, I think that would have been 1 000 000 times cooler and more fitting.

Now that sounds cool.

Imagine playing as necromancer, and shooting necrotic bolts at the enemy knights? Or raising up the dead to fight for you?

Ugh, that would have been so cool! Instead, Mount and Blade for the Saints Row crowd, I guess?

Or shooting fireballs and lightning. You can do so much more with magic too compared to guns.

Yep, and the "running guys over in a truck" could have been some sort of magical mount. Then the attack helicopter could have been like a dragon or an elemental.

This all would have been setting appropriate, and would have allowed for more customization anyway.

You got me at the pickup truck.

Yeah, would hate for someone to come up with something original and unusual. Go away.

Yeah... cause that's never been done.

Mount and Blade but with magic?

No, I don't think it has been done before. Can you point to a game that combines strategy and battlefield action, in the way Mount and Blade does, but with magic?

Why Isekai in Anime when you can finally bring Truck Kun into the Medival world and ram a bunch of Knights.

Honestly, the idea of mixing things like Battlezone/Bannerlord with Dark Future is pretty fun, worth trying it when it's out.
