Old game without new content?

So I read a review which stated that this new version has no new content or updates. It baffled me to be honest. I only spent like 16 hours in this game so far, but I did see the following new content and gameplay aspects:

1. In the OG (original game), when you leftclicked a lot during combat, some "model movement frames" were lost. It looked weird, like models teleporting a little bit. This sometimes led to avoidable damage taken during a kiting scenario. I did not experience this here so far.

2. Another camera option from Age of Reforging: the freelands has been introduced. It allows you to control your character model with WSAD. This is especially helpful in kiting/crowd control scenarios. This was not present in the OG.

3. I feel like I got to have reskill potion much sooner in this game, but this is something that I might do an update on.

4. Early level ups felt quicker than in the OG. The game felt more balanced than the OG in general. I had a level 19 squad during the Spring game (normal difficulty). I recall having a level 15-16 squad in the OG. The reforged version feels like it forgives more wrong player decisions compared to the original game.

5. In the OG you had 3 market sections. You had to switch to separate screen sections just to see all of the market content. Now you just have one screen section and click on the desired item category on the market. It is much more convenient.

I am having a blast with this game so far. I mean I've been playing it 16 hours non stop...

This review might get updated with more information.

I loved everything about this game, except is doesn't have any real content once you beat everything. "The endless challenge" also becomes boring.

Wished there was sandbox gameplay and interesting random events, to keep the game alive. Maybe we will get that with the new age of reforging game, excited about it.

Please community, I really need to find games like this. I am looking for a game, where you endlessly manage your guy/team in an arena and see them become powerful and climb up the league ladder. So far I have played and enjoyed: Punch Club, Age of gladiators II, raiders! Forsaken earth and we who are about to die. Thank you guys!

I really enjoyed the game. I wished there was more endgame content. But I had a wonderful time with this game, it got me really involved. There is nice character development and skill trees. Lots of potential for different builds and therefore complexity and replay value. I loved seeing my character develop and climb up the league ladder. Also the story with its anecdotes to loved movies and games like fight club, street fighter, snatch, all combined into a gripping story, that does not take itself too seriously, was really something to enjoy. I wished the game allowed further fights after the main story with the help of randomly generated fights for example.

as you can see, I spent lots of hours in this game despite it not really providing any real content. I spent 99 % of my time in arena mode, gathered like 57 gold units and got myself some nice armor and heavy weapons. I really enjoy the combat philosophy, its highly physics based system. I would always like to encourage game makers to try something new and not be scared about doing so. I would really like to give this game a thumbs up for the new unconvential combat system, finally something new and enjoyable, BUT this game is technically dead. No updates at all. Treating backers like this should never get game devs rewarded. I wished there was more transparency about game development.

Update: I could not leave this review as it was with all the huge updates this game received. The overhaul of the arena mode is amazing.

I did love Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 back then... and well I also spent lots of time with JA BiA which was quite fun. But Flashback has been the most disappointing so far after all this hype. There is no depth in this game and everything feels so unfinished and simplistic. It's like a half-hearted JA 2 interpretation with a random game engine, that does not allow the depth of gameplay and content from the original JA2. My hope for a true JA 3 are gone. People that loved Fallout 2 and Jagged Alliance 2 should wait for the release of Wasteland 3.

That's how I wished Shadowrun returns should have turned out. When you can easily spend hours in the character creation menu thinking about how to set up your character and how to distribute your points (since everything has pros and conss it is supposed to be), you know you have a great game with huge potential in your virtual hands.

Basically how fallout 3 should have looked like. This game in simple words for me is a dream come true.

A definite must-have for people that loved fallout 1 and 2, Fallout Tactics, Jagged Alliance 2 and similar games within the genre.

This game is turn-based action with massive character development and great loot and exploration at its best.
