the translation is completely incoherent but the game is insanely good

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:49 PM
and insanely hard
Quinneapolis

Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:49 PM
you play duels of opposing summoners fighting to kill the enemy summoner

units all have mana costs and also mana upkeep while up, but the map is littered with gems that you can seize to increase your mana regeneration to support larger armies

units come in four elements that are strong/weak in a circle (water -> fire -> air -> earth -> water)

after a few turns, battles become deliciously crunchy

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:51 PM
as you fight for control of the map while trying to set yourself up for a chance to blitz the enemy summoner for the win

Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:18 PM
It gets real hard

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:19 PM
YEAH

I beat the main game but I don’t think I ever managed the ex stages

@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:21 PM
I DO need some games that I can play without sound though...

I remember one of the character classes was just objectively the best one
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:23 PM
but I don't remember which one it was (thief, maybe?)
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:23 PM
OR how to get it through the questionaire
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:29 PM
Thief was crazy fast so he could usually slip out of tight spots
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:30 PM
I was of the opinion that high speed and high magic power were the most important things master could have
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:30 PM
Take a lot of turns. Shit out a bu ch of fast cheap natials. Control the map before your opponent knows what’s happening

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:31 PM
Thief also had a ranged attack
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:31 PM
which is safer than having to rely on melee
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:32 PM
So did brute though.....
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:33 PM
Honestly my pick may have been spirit

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:34 PM

Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 2:34 PM
so I could be full of shit
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:01 PM
Hmm
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:01 PM
I tried to run the game
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:02 PM
And it tried to install something but the install just stalled out and didn't do anything
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:02 PM

@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:02 PM

Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:02 PM
might be worth trying again
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:02 PM
If I try to skip the installation the game just gives an error message and shuts down
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Oct 10, 2019 3:09 PM
Yeah I guess I'm not playing VM2
