Armored Brigade, Anyone?

[unreasonable]

Thinking of buying this Matrix games title when it comes out on Steam (Matrix updates and me have had our disagreements in the past). Anyone played it already? Any thoughts, recommendation?

Oh yeah I just got this game. Didn't refund it anyway so that's a start. Haven't fallen in love with it yet but the game is only just starting to get challenging which admittedly does mean fighting through quite alot of pointless missions. Nice satisfying combat, though I have to use both my mouse and gamepad for best results. Mouse is far superior for aiming, but controlling the mechs/tanks is way better with a pad.

 

I like the graphics myself though ymmv. No story whatsoever. Missions are basically just shoot shit and blow stuff up though I went in expecting that.

 

It's a bit like helldivers though so far not as good or interesting, as I really liked the monsters/aliens in that game and the combat felt more badass (though that got old too rather quickly...

Ahemm.... are you sure you we are talking about the same thing? Armored Brigade is a top down, SP, game/simulation of combined arms warfare in the Cold War, in which you give platoon and company size units orders: AFAIK you do not "aim" anything.  Mordhau is a MP, medieval hack and slash.  Surely some mistake... perhaps you are talking about "Iron Brigade"?

 

Either that or Matrix has put out some very misleading promotional material.....

Nah I was talking about 2 different games. I'll just edit the last comment out cause it is kinda confusing...

Oh wait! lol

 

Now I have realized that neither games are the one you were talking about. Mine is called brigador up armoured edition. I'll see myself out...

No problem   thanks for taking the time. I thought that Armored Brigade was the kind of thing that people here would like, but I suppose everyone is too wrapped up in the BoBp updates to have any time to notice anything else.

Nah thanks for the thanks man! That game does look like something I would like as I am always on the look out for realistic strategy/war games. Would prefer WW2 though as usual! The only trouble is just finding the time to do games like that justice. I liked gary grigsbys war in the east and I've always wanted a game that improves upon that because frankly its biggest failing for me was an unresponsive UI, and the game itself was somehow sluggish. Still have added it to my wishlist and will watch a few vids.
