Welcome to the Feedback channel!

[ember heath]

We want to give players the opportunity to provide any and all feedback on Wartorn! Utilizing your suggestions will allow the devs to make it the best game it can be; however, this only works if we get concrete and tangible responses.

Some tips:

• Be concise. Try to keep your feedback punchy and to the point.
• Be specific. Identify concrete points for the team to address.
• Be polite. Provide feedback on features that you think need work without insulting the game or developers.
• Be constructive: if you've identified something that could use a change, give an example of an alteration that might work

We can't wait to see all of your suggestions! Remember to give a thumbs-up to feedback that you agree with.

First off, I like the graphics of the game.

Unit abilities feel "weak" and not really "epic" to use.
Movement of the units feels "smooth" and are easily identified.
Controls feel intuitive

Units not moving to attack another close unit after defeating one unit is annoying.

Noted on that in particular.

[sweet ember]

Yeah it's really frustrating, they just stand their and let themselves get killed.

[carmine stag]

Yeah there should be a balance of them not attacking too much but also not sitting there doing nothing. Sharing with the team.

[sweet ember]

Cool, thanks, lost units a few times because they are behind a tar wall just standing there getting hit and you can't see that they are doing nothing.

I think in the dawn of War games you could set units to a default "stance" while idle.
Like "Hold your ground" "Move to attack" and "Move from combat"
I think something like that might be good?

[carmine stag]

Great point, I like that. Ill pass along to see if stances is something we can do for early access

[sweet ember]

I think it would. I just realised i'm pulling an idea from a game that came out almost 20 years ago 🤣

[sweet ember]

One thing I find annoying, with the demo, that some units are better for the next "mission" than others. and you can get some that just don't "seem" to do anything useful with the units you have.

[carmine stag]

Alot of that will be trial and error, learning units, playstyles, abilities, and then creating combos.
In the full game, you will choose what units from your caravan you bring with you on each run.

[sweet ember]

I guessed that. Just with the demo it's hard to learn what works well together when you can get completely different choices of units the next play through.

[carmine stag]

Thats the beauty of Roguelites 😉
Its a bit of luck with the rewards, but mastering what works well together as you learn along the way

[sweet ember]

Thinking on it. The game doesn't really give you any time to plan, or move your units to where they might be best fit the battle. At the moment the combat feels very reactive, like you are just reacting to what's happening. There doesn't seem any/much time to plan. The slowdown helps. But it's still reaction gameplay over a form of planning.

Hey @sweet ember, can you get your feedback into its own thread in the main channel? I'm gonna lock this post down.
