Super Trench Attack 2 Reviews

Super Trench Attack 2 is a great game even at its recent launch into early access. It's different playstyle from the Original (Squad based-turn-based, rather then a top down Isometric Shooter) Gives a new playstyle which I've found to be quite enjoyable. The games small events are generally funny due to being out of proportion in a way, and the game still can prove a challenge if your not careful. That being said, this game is a little repetitive due to it being in it's current state. Each Zone only has one map, and currently the only kind of mission is combat - Meaning it can begin to get repetitive, but im pretty sure new missions and probably maps will come out at some time sooner or later. So yeah, from my experience, I'd give this game an 8/10 in it's current state. Even if you don't really want this game, keep an eye on it - it has potential.

It's retro so it must be hard as shit. The first one was so great why can't you just stick with something like the that? Oh and also cut that sneak option out, it is fucking useless because someone didn't take a shit at his home and has to fart all the time.

STA 1 was a good game, it has some silly dialogues and it was nice to go shooting with the non sense mission. But this is a Turn-Based Strategy game which gets too repetitive, same type of shooting but without an overall mission. It might be the fact also that its hard to beat the game as it is, so it just got boring.

I want to say this is like a Super Gameboy version of FTL meets Valkyria Chronicles but the execution falls way short of that. The game has a map system with your squad contantly fleeing enemy pursuit, much like FTL, and it has a kind of combination real-time and turn-based combat , much like Valkyria Chronicles, but it's rather shallow and unrewarding. In FTL you want to hit many nodes because you never know what reward you might walk away with. Here, though, random "do the risky thing or leave" choices are never really worth the risk and combat only rewards you meger gold that you're going to need to patch yourself up after the fight so you basically just make a bee-line for the exit using the shortest route possible.. The combat is the most disappointing, though. Much like Valkyria Chronicles, if you get close to enemies they automatically fire at you on your turn but during enemy turns your units never fire back at the enemies and they HURT. When 1 shot can put your guy down, you basically can't let the enemy have a single turn or you get wiped. Overall, it's not a terrible game. It just falls way, way short of it's potential. I'd rate it neutral if I could but since there's nothing really stand-out about the gameplay and I have to go with "yes" or "no", I'm going to have to lean toward "no", sadly.

A funny turn based tactical combat roguelike with a small degree of resource management. The random events and unlockable content add some replayability.

While it lacks the run and gun gameplay and humor of Super Trench Attack 1, 2 is damn enjoyable in a somewhat masochistic sense. There's a real sense of urgency and danger in both food manangement, and combat. Definitely worth picking up, but perhaps on sale if you prefered the first game.

Yeah cant say i liked how they changed the game. The first game had lots of humor and a story to follow, it made the game enjoyable. This game lacks the luster of the first, My problems with it are three things, First the game play lacks the versatility of tactical options offered in good strategy games. Second the story is very lacking and empty, this leaves a why am i playing this feeling even when you beat the game. Third.... Gameplay, while the game isnt to hard to beat, the game play is fustrating to put it nicely. The first game held a great deal of fun to it being a top down shotter and it allowed for the player to seek out secrets and rewarded the effort. While this game has its own secrets to it i wont be wasting the time with them. A suggestion for the developers, Stick to what you did well. The first game was by far more fun and enjoyable.

This is a lot different then the first one. Part 2 changes the whole game. This time its a time based strategy game. The game is still fun, and you must also recruit members for your team.

Okay, I finally got around to making a somewhat decent look on the game after the early access period and man this review was way overdue. Basically, not much has changed from when it was in early access with the exception of additional content being put into the game, with the new Company Officers being as unlockables after making a couple of runs by earning points towards unlocking them with different setups to start your journey with. However, I will be mostly be talking about the differences between Super Trench Attack 2 and another game that is clearly based off from is the gameplay aspect of Valkyria Chronicles. What traits does each game share? -The turn-based strategy of selecting a unit and controlling them freely around the map with a limited amount of stamina based on unit type -The setting is based around a world war setting -The general difficulty is your small squad vs the world Traits that's more prevelant in Valkyria Chronicles: -Heavily story-driven with visual novel-like cutscenes (very good story if not a bit cliché) -Third-person mode makes it easier to spot enemies from a distance once your soldiers have line-of-sight -Soldiers in your squad has personality in some description full with voice acting and unique character models -Somewhat varying objectives throughout the campaign -Multiple playthroughs are discouraging due to the imbalance in power between you and the enemy (mainly you can upgrade your squad and equipment to the point where you are straight up overpowered with orders breaking the difficulty even more) -Again, the enemy is heavliy underpowered compared to you.You can go through the entire campaign without spending a single upgrade Traits that's more prevelant in Super Trench Attack 2: -Gameplay is clearly the focus of Super Trench Attack 2 -Very silly atmosphere compare to Valkyria Chronicles' serious atmosphere -Rouge-like elements with randomized battlefields -Difficulty is unforgiving so if you are not prepared for large scale fights, good luck -Unit controls in a top-down view so it's more difficult to spot enemies across the level, but they do give you feedback on line-of-sight and when you've entered their firing range -Little to no character personality -Squad size is half the size of what you can deploy in Valkyria Chronicles -no variable objecives with the only objective available is to eliminate the enemy team (Valkyria Chronicles mostly have you capture a specific control point, but they do mix it up from time to time) Would I recommend Super Trench Attack 2? The answer is yes, especially if you love the gameplay of Valkyria Chronicles, but are also looking for a challange that Valkyria Chronicles fail to provide after your first playthrough.

After being pleasantly surprised by the first game, the 2nd one is a total disappointment! Strategy game where the enemies have and are making more moves than you which makes you incapable of advancing further than the first level. You simply die because the enemy attacks you twice or trice while you can attack only once WTF? The AI has the same health and damage as you. I'm not sure if this game isn't just one giant troll. Totally not recommended!
