On one hand love some of the units but on the other... nah I got legit upset at some of the absurd ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this DLC. Never did it take me so damn many attempts to finish a level in this then the main game and the other DLC combined. Some parts its pretty much mandatory to do easy mode otherwise you have to be stupid fast in moving, placing, saving/reinforcing and so forth and need to know what happens next in order to progress let alone pull off any achievement nonsense. Just all the damn bursters alone necessitate a absurd amount of micromanaging so you don't lose the veteran soldiers.
Unlike raising hell where the good guy dies... this DLC at the very least has a happy ending where keyes dies. Still not worth going to the end with how cringe the lines are



On another note if you have not I strongly recommend reading this excellent review

calling out the racist sexist undertone ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that is painfully flagrant

Game starts off alright even you play the evil wine-drinking, mustache-twirling and beret-wearing French. Ruthlessly beating enemies to death with hardened expired cheesy baguettes. I played on the default level soldier. You can not change it so I can not quite speak for the other difficulty levels. As the game progresses you pick up some items and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ item takes a slot in the not fun, not challenging, not interesting inventory. This get stupidly TEDIOUS and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ you not doubles the backtracking you must do. Don't ever discard anything!
-Melee weapon (even more so for the rats)
-one ranged weapon
-ammo for ranged weapon
that is 3 slots alone
-gas mask 4th slot
-flashlight 5th slot
-healing item depending on how much you feel you need one especially if you did not save recently
-key/tool you last got to open places
THEN the most damn mandatory item in the entire game second only to the gasmask... the "Fresh Putties" (the straps that go over the boots and shins) that increase your speed. The amount of running around gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ silly more so as items are finite so discarding anything is not acceptable... IF it lets you discard it in the first place.

Melee weapon, one pistol (just the pistol not the ammo) or the flashlight instead, and gas mask alone should not need take any slots

-Never use grenades. Keep them for rat holes. For places without rat holes use fuel on the bodies. Don't sell or discard the fuel
-Revolver is the worst handgun in the game. Golden gun is ass. Ruby until the Luger that can pierce enemies and so hit more then one
-Shotgun: keep only for the armored guys
-Use machine guns to save on ammo when possible
-A fully charged melee attack behind a unaware enemy will kill them
-Rifle: run into area. Shoot one person unaware. That is a one shot kill aside from on big guys. Step out and back into area and do it again. Saves a lot of ammo that way
-for the at home ♥♥♥♥ go into the cellar! Push aside bookcase and RECORD what symbols Pierre put into the journal. otherwise you will have to do some stupid tedious running script on the save to know what the code is for Pierres locker in chapter 6. THERE IS NO WAY to check what the code is if you didn't do exactly as I stated
-NO MORE AMMO for Spandau it is one time use
-Carryable "machine gun" uses ammo that is technically the most finite in Conscript. It can only use ammo be found on map. There is no way to make more ammo for it

What if a awful rogue like did not suck ass? What if it was actually worth owning and had the damn decency to have family friendly education on procreation?
Game goes by the absurdly dated RPGM engine which is worthless garbage for games that lack the decency to be a eroge. This is one of the literally few RPGM games that play out in anything outside the standard typical fare.

Was funny at first but then started going way out there. Can say a lot about this both good and bad. I'm sure most will hate this. There is ♥♥♥♥ all to get off on here. The end that just brings up Sex with the Devil 2.... eh very extremely mixed feelings about it. Dislike that. Overall like.... well it is exactly what it says it is so no right to complain really. For the price it is far more of a experience then any macrotransaction garbage you'll find anywhere

The only very strongly thing I hated and feel compelled to mention is I hate the annoying fuzzy 80s tape/tv thing visually as I found it hard to watch on the eyes. That and how the crazy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bastard ya... play as? never actually ♥♥♥ in anything which is kinda a rip off.

I think best way to sum this up is it is like an interactive horror that actually has balls... well... literally and metaphorically speaking

It is a phenomenal proof of concept. What if survival games were not hot garbage? Would be awesome to see this finished and there be a survival crafting game aside from Conan that is worth more then used toilet paper.
Only thing I quite dislike is POV don't work, ♥♥♥ effect don't work and how overly dark times/places can be

Totally worth giving a go. I in complete seriousness do recommend it. Was actually one of the flat out best demos when it was first shown in the demofest.
Proper family friendly games like this don't come often in 3D so that is quite a treat. It looks exactly as shown and plays well. Not much else to say. It is well thought out and high tier for what it is. I look forward to it being completed alongside other 3D games like Beasts In The Sun and Wicked Island

This is a true work of art. The foley artists and the artistic artists really went all out here.
The only thing I don't like is not being able to have separate sound options. It would be nice to have music at lower volume to not take away from the atmosphere. This and some other games like Soma, Callisto Protocol, and Amnesia should IMO be mandatory study for horror visuals and study atmosphere settings.

The game does make you wonder. Are you the same person throughout? Just another random soul coming awake and trying to find their way?

My interpretation is something whatever happened and it is clearly a post-apocalyptic setting. You are some equivalent of a troubleshooting tool that is turned on to see one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell of a damn ♥♥♥♥ show.

Only real valid complaint with the game is the awful combat. Enemies need at least a third of their health removed. Otherwise game is pretty nice visual experience.

Being a Korean made game there is a beautiful lack of extreme racism, lack of unrealistic looking """"people"""" and the game has no incompetence (which is sadly seemingly mandatory for western games). The devs have done a great job and I applaud them. Very important to note is that the official discord is sadly infected with western incompetence. You get banned without warning when posting screenshots of THIS GAME because the scumbag mods on discord are incredibly sexist towards female character models.

Much better then the steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that is destiny that never improved it's 1.5 iteration. Better then warframe which stopped being good after first several years. Though much as I hate to say it this out of the worst things I hated about WF... TFD does several waaay worse. For starters TFD has little to no microtransaction AT ALL. The First Descendant ONLY has a tiny amount of microtransactions which for most part are only the common skins and makeup.... that's it. Everything is highly offensive MACROtransactions. This is on top of the malware and flagrant data theft.

I sincerely f*cking despise that TFD took some the the worst damn aspects I hated WF for which was awful store and having two versions of a character which is damn redundant and a terrible excuse to make one sell for more. In the TFD case absurdly f*cking more. If you spend 100usd just for a single character then you are a halfwit. Much as I not just cringe but extremely cringe to say and admit is ffs blizzard could be argued to provided more of a "value" to your dollar/euro/pound.

The currency thing like in many other games sadly should have everyone from top to halfway down all hang at the gallows. Any all and ALL "bonus" and other bullsh*t is just that BS intended to F you. This is before all the completely on purpose nonsense BS of USD5 is 250 nonsense currency and that is NOTHING. If I can buy 1-4 games (USD 60 or 100) for a joke of a "bundle" yeaaaah no... nah F NO. I ain't buying ♥♥♥♥ and I had set aside 60USD for this game. But I want my money respected which no game aside from Helldivers does right now. 5USD needs to at the absolute total MINIMUM be 500 nonsense currency and all prices kept same or lowered so they can legitimately be called or accused to be microtransactions.
You start with 75 inventory slots... 10 inventory slots is 5 f*cking usd
A premium skin is 15/20USD
A ultimate character is F*CKING 60 USD
A normal character is 10 USD
A paint is SINGLE USE
Bunch of item are intentional in flipping you off with the bundle BS. So x or y can cost 5 or 10 times more then they are sure as hell not worth
What is TFD version of the orokin catalyst/reactor IS OVER 20USD FOR 1! Just f*cking 1!


I'd like to spend money on this but the prices are offensively bad. It is the number thing killing this entire game for me right now

EDIT: Ok so little PSA/tips
-Autoloaders can be used to pick up ammo boxes or items from far away
-Only advanced autoloaders pick up ammo in outlined square
-You can man the first and the second artillery but the tripe barrel battleship guns you cannot
-Awesome small details are here like every food and drink has their own model and animation. And on the small details it says nowhere but if you use the mechanical claw glove anywhere on a mech nothing happens BUT if you use it on the cockpit you'll instantly enter the mech.
-ramps transfer energy
-don't sell all your valuables keep some for the annoyingly rare merchant that comes by and trades you for much better prices or nice gear
-Fae is the worst person you can run in regards to abilities

I quite like OIS. It is a quite fun game and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is it a sexy game. All the dakka dakka, the sleek sexy look of armor and weapons... oooo it is awesome. The incredibly fair asking price for what it is worth. :Fistofdosh: Takes a little time to get into the swing of things but it is very worth it. However! Now matter how awesome the game it matters not at all if it runs and/looks like ♥♥♥♥. The game settings while not the worst they are nevertheless ♥♥♥♥. Devs please resolve this.
A lot of people go into the gameplay more then well enough so I'll say the only reason I thumbed down and consider that I still should. There is no way to disable visual cancer like bloom and other effects. No settings go to low and it seems like it does nothing but change the distance it activates anyway. The game with proper settings could run very well on machines NOT packing high 3000s or 4000s series of GPUs. Certain ♥♥♥♥ is too damn bright. Certain locations play out and load in a fashion the reminds me of when I was playing Fallout 4 and used a mod the separated all entities on the map so the player could pick up all the trash. See normally in FO4 the ground floor and buildings and stuff are just grouped up singular entities so it loads faster. When everything is broken up the game loads a whole LOT more ♥♥♥♥ one by one. This game seems to me loads a lot of stuff individually just like that. Constantly loading elements at a set distance that result in pop ins and whatnot do not help performance. Most notable is less foliage loading around is FAR FAR better then exact same high setting amount just popping in few yards away

PS voice acting is freaking fine and gameplay is more important

I actually like this game. I do. It is a simple fun game. It is well more then quite fair for the price and more so when on sale and the price even more fair when compared to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage that costs 4 times as much as Monsters Domain AND runs like ass AND has macrotransactions


⚠️ Combat is janky
⚠️ Quite hard to do parries or whatever
⚠️ Lot of powers are kinda worthless (or don't work like Curse of the slain does NOT make follows "immune to incoming attacks") unless you are close cause you just gonna miss otherwise
⚠️Worse yet on the abilities/powers is you can not respec the points
⚠️ You can't move buildings after putting them down
⚠️ No hotkeys or ways to quickly select the building you need
⚠️cant change difficulty
⚠️put in last stone and.... wtf? I am sure there is supposed to be more cutscene but the entire last level just out of nowhere and no given context to what... well... happened. It is easy to guess but point is the game don't say anything

Another reason I am also thumbing down is I have hit some minor? game breaking issues. Missing minions. Minion that I have never sent on any expedition missing on "expedition". Currently my character minions is... dead? missing? entirely invisible. Can NOT be repossessed. I think that one broke when I upgraded the main building you always need to interact with by being on it and having it build/upgrade over my posses minion.

Edit: So I legit hate the point where you can't return to Spirithelm and it is impossible to keep followers alive. The dragonish Torgor is just flat out ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Dunno if it is on purpose but most hits don't do anything... at all. Being able to pretty much instantly kill followers is rather beyond aggravating as it is a first out of nowhere. Worse is you can't carry ♥♥♥♥ with all the followers dead. Just the BS of Torgor alone... Also it seems impossible to reach level ten there just ain't enough in the game and enemies do not respawn and few times they do I am guessing it is not intentional. Quite annoying that at the end I can't go back to store my stuffs.
