The Single Player Experience

[Butterside down]

What's the bottom line on single player. Is there going to be a dedicated campaign for solo play against the AI. I would like to know if this game will stand on its own as a single /solo player game. If so will this include more than 1 camp, maybe some solo skirmish scenario

You see, RAM Pressure has single missions. But still part of the story campaign is tied to PvP, so without PvP it will not work anyway.

Doesn't that mean that players won't be able to experience the story if there is no one to have matches against?

Yes, this means that players will be able to go through the storyline only in PvP.

That is...a terrible decision.

I agree...

I was pretty excited after a random advert with some trailer showed me an XCOM without the need for realistic military mods. Then I come here and find out there's no singleplayer option.

That's done it for me, not interested. A real shame.

Opinions, im actually a more pvp oriented player and i like the idea.

PvP driven single player missions is a terrible idea indeed. My father likes turn-based tactics but he definitely won't play PvP. So I'm sure he will skip this game.

I was hoping it was going to be like a XCOM coop type of experience that you and your friend(s) can do the campaign together. The game looks amazing, though.

Thanks for your feedback! The very idea of XCOM is really inspiring!

Mandatory PVP in a turn based XCOM-style game? Good luck making any money off that.

Cool, HF, but those who want an SP experience are totally excluded. Would you agree that it should be an option?

You see, initially, we planned to make PvP an obligatory part for the passage through the storyline. But we listened to your feedback and decided that it would be a good idea to make it possible to go through it without PvP. And PvP would simply accelerate gaining of experience and some of the resources which are needed to pass through the story, compared to the “PvE only” option.
Let's try to implement it and see how it works in Playtest.

It's really good to see you listened to a lot of players opinions. I am interested in your game again now
