I think I'm in love.  :smitten:

I remember writing about this for GARPA. Cool to see it's almost released.

It's riding on a tabletop franchise. First time I've heard of it though.

The full feature list looks like it'll just be some canned missions and multi-player.  ???

I don't see 64.99 worth in that feature list....... maybe if your going to play the crap out of it in multiplayer............naw...not even then.

that really depends on how the game plays out.
all of my most loved games have been between the $50 - $60 price point.  when I factor in the time spent playing they become the smartest investments I've ever made.  I don't even want to think about the value I've gotten out of CS:S for $13.

They're just following the - I think, reasonable - policy of pricing early access by matching the pledge in Kickstarter that entitles backers to have access to the Beta:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/409030043/warmachine-tactics

I see that they also went 3 times over the amount pledged, which probably means that they've covered their development expenses.

Or in other words, if you just want to be "customer" rather than a "backer", wait until release.

Looks nice, but will wait for full release. Nice to see more turn based games :)

I backed it during Kickstarter, it was $25 for a digital copy. Not 100% sure about it but will soon find out.

I've beta-backed this during the Kickstarter, haven't had much time with the beta though. (It currently gets my GPU to overheat pretty quickly).


As for the pricing, it's for the deluxe edition which comes with expansions and DLCs.
Standard version will cost less.
