Game is dead i think !

[Doggy]

No updates,crashes,very low/no playerbase.

What a shame,game is not bad,but the idiotic town-setting is useless and have cost too much resources.
Better the dev have made the base game better with more content ect. Perhaps somew more player will play the game in future (after some patches) but i dont think so.

Eh, it's finished, what else is there to update, besides more bugfixes every now and then?

Can't comment on the online playerbase, but if you're mainly interested in singleplayer (like me), then it won't matter how many other people play it online (or offline). Though it is worth noting that you don't HAVE to be online to play a game with someone, you just send your turn, they send theirs, and watch the outcome when both turns have been sent, if i recall correctly. So that might affect playercount.

Only downside is they took out local multiplayer, i think, being able to play locally with hotseating was a kinda useful thing to have. That would've been a nice update to add into the sequel... (FS1 has it, so, why not FS2, as well?)

The singleplayer/town-mode aint too bad either, though quite confusing at first... The story part of it is a hit-or-miss, as you're mostly just waiting for and doing story missions as they appear, trying to not piss off any faction that's big enough to stomp you, and it's quite hard to keep everyone pleased, doing a favor for one is always gonna piss off someone else, typically... Especially if it pays well! And it's a rather boring grind to get more money, more mercenaries, more bases... Takes quite a while.

It got a little more interesting after the story though, when you beat the story and just get to do whatever you like in the city mode, and just see what level of crazy happens when you start picking fights with all the factions, especially after you've accuired God knows how many mercenaries and funds and other things to be on reasonable military standing with them.

Can't complain about the combat elements though, it's as good as ever, even more stuff to play around with, though the big enviroments sure favor Snipers a LOT... And Turrets are just 120K wastes of money where a Sniper would've done the job better, AND faster. Street fights get a little unfair though, but atleast building fights are fine.

Well, whatever, i had plenty of fun just killing time with post-story city mode, i wonder if that's accessible by default now, just playing city mode without Sonata missions/stuff/artifacts/etc, just doing whatever you want? Ah, it was a good way to kill time...

But i prefer PVP-gameplay ! Makes more fun to play against real humans. But the playerbase is dead,of course no problem when you prefer singleplayer.
But FS2/1 is more an online game,but with a dead playerbase the game is useless for me.

Hope another good game like FS2 or turnbased will released soon.Dont like very complex turn basded game like the civ-serie.

DoortKickers 2 will be perfect when it have a real PVP-mode (not only boring coop,the coop-mose is not a real onlinemode for me).

@carthief
The city mode sound fun.
You have to finish story mode to play it?

[auamoti]

non-actual claims.
no software is alive, no software is dead.

actual claims-
there have been updates. ive had zero crashing (not much playtime however).

the part about a tiny playerbase is TRUE however.

Compared to the reception the first game got including a high profile review by TotalBiscuit, this game seems to be another title by this dev to have flopped hard for whatever reasons. Lack of promotion and post release support hasn't helped.

It's hard to work when you don't get paid. No websites covered their game. No few people bought it. They managed to release a single expansion before they went out of business. You need money to eat, and they built a great game. But it wasn't similar enough to other stratagy games so it wasn't covered.

No point getting mad at the devs when they did everything they could to make a great game.

Still works on my PC, so I'm not sure how it could be dead.

[Lowlander]

Ive given up on it, it crashes as soon as somebody uses a grenade... and I tried it even on the lowest settings, my PC is not amazing but it should work on a GTX1050 and 8gb ram...

Sad because it could have been a really good game...

If you have a save that's relevant to the crashes, or any other information, please could you send it to [e-mail]?
