Hexield Reviews

Just picked up this game today, and thought I would share some thoughts; I played through the tutorial and fought one battle against the AI, which I lost. All in all, while certainly not the worst game I've ever played, it is severely lacking in polish and some quality of life, for example when fighting against the AI it always seems to be earth, with no way to change it. This is a glaring oversight that should be remedied as quickly as possible; not being able to select one's opponent should not be a thing. Also the attack is the same for each elemental; it would be nice if they did an attack appropriate to their element. Lastly, the movement is a bit odd; I played as fire and quickly found out that in order for your piece to move, you must expend the ENTIRE movement range, or nothing happens. This is actually not a problem per se, as it does mean you have to position more carefully, but it would have been nice if it were more properly explained.... The online component is completely dead, as to be expected, as the game just came out. I will probably give this game one more go, but as things stand now I will probably end up refunding it and possibly picking it up later, as I feel the price is a bit too high for what the game currently offers; however thumbs up for the potential!
