Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Hey all. Cyber Knights: Flashpoint has only 2 months left in Early Access, a 94% ๐Ÿ‘ rating with over 700 reviews, and lots of favorable comparisons to games like XCOM 2, Shadowrun (including a shout-out from the Shadowrun Returns developers themselves), Invisible, Inc, and more.

My brother and I have put everything we have into this and it's definitely our best game yet. Hope you'll take a look and wishlist if you're interested! Happy to answer any questions.

Looks right in my wheelhouse. Does it have much story to it or a campaign? Iโ€™ll have to check the video later

A decent amount of story; more than something like XCOM, less than something like Wasteland 3. Our story engine draws from a pool of available storylines and selects them based on your power level, character tags on your squad members, and how you've played the game so far, in both story missions and proc-gen missions that work hand-in-hand to feed the story engine and give you opportunities to aid and increase the influence of contacts in your network. When one of our hand-crafted storylines gets selected by the engine, it then weaves in squad members and contacts from your specific playthrough. So every time you play, the story is customized to your playthrough.

We think it's a pretty cool system, and will only continue to become more so as we keep adding new content to the game post-launch.
