Confrontation

The main problem with Confrontation is that it's too basic, and does nothing to set itself apart in the genre, and combined with low production values, you have a recipe for mediocrity.

    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some found the narrative engaging and appreciated its attempts at depth, others criticized it for being overwhelming, poorly presented, and lacking character development. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a weak point, overshadowed by clunky gameplay and uninspired design.

    • “Constant action and a good story keeps me absorbed and enjoying it.”
    • “The story is actually above average, where the squad is forced to make some terrible choices in the name of duty.”
    • “Fortunately, the story is very well narrated, so even if you have difficulty keeping track of things, it moves right along with the narration.”
    • “The story is weak, the enemies are repetitive, the characters have no real upgrade system to speak of, there's no inventory outside a minor weapon/armor upgrade system that feels cheap, and the gameplay is monotonous.”
    • “The story is pure cliché, the controls were awkward, the tutorial was bland and quite frankly, never mind.”
    • “It bombards you with made-up names, making use of that ages-old acclaimed storytelling technique of tell, don't show.”
  • gameplay
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Confrontation" has been widely criticized for its clunky mechanics, repetitive combat, and lack of depth, leading to a frustrating experience for many players. While some appreciate the tactical elements and squad-based mechanics, the overall execution is deemed poor, with issues such as slow pacing, buggy controls, and uninspired design overshadowing any potential enjoyment. Many reviewers recommend avoiding the game due to its lackluster gameplay and unappealing graphics.

    • “The game does provide a challenge with decent tactical gameplay.”
    • “I found the gameplay to be highly engaging.”
    • “The gameplay is your standard team-based action RPG; you control 4 heroes that level up as you go along and upgrade their various abilities.”
    • “While I give the creators props for aiming for an ambitious story with a developed lore and graphic design, this tactical RPG falls flat in execution gameplay-wise.”
    • “The mechanics are clunky and the gameplay is way too streamlined and boring.”
    • “Absolutely abysmal gameplay, graphics look like they're from 2001, soundtrack is awful, voice acting is on par with Resident Evil 1; just please, do yourself a favor and do something else with your money.”
  • graphics
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for being outdated, even for its original release in 2012, with many reviewers noting poor optimization and sluggish performance on modern hardware. While some players acknowledge that the visuals were decent for their time, the overall consensus is that the graphics are subpar by current standards, contributing to a lackluster gaming experience. Additionally, issues such as jerky animations and poor anti-aliasing further detract from the visual appeal.

    • “Sure, the graphics are a bit dated for 2020, but this game was also made in 2012, and for then, the graphics are darn good.”
    • “The graphics are quite decent for its age, and get good frame rates if details are dropped.”
    • “Though I do like the visuals, the lore, and some of the mechanics.”
    • “The game is badly optimized, so no matter what graphical setting you are on – the game will still run terribly if you don’t have a very powerful graphics card (which is ridiculous for a game this old).”
    • “Graphics are jerky (even on an i7 with a DX11 graphics card and the graphics settings on medium).”
    • “Absolutely abysmal gameplay, graphics look like they're from 2001, soundtrack is awful, voice acting is on par with Resident Evil 1; just please, do yourself a favor and do something else with your money.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed to negative feedback, with many players describing it as average or even awful.

    • “Good battle music at various points of the game.”
    • “Absolutely abysmal gameplay, graphics look like they're from 2001, soundtrack is awful, voice acting is on par with Resident Evil 1. Just please, do yourself a favor and do something else with your money.”
    • “95% of the music is the worst I've heard in any game.”
    • “I can in fact say that the game lacks polishing, the story is highly forgettable, music is passable, characters have mild customization and there is no loot besides bandages, graphics are dated, pathfinding is strange, character skills and abilities upgrade oddly, etc.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and unengaging, with players noting that it feels slow and poorly polished. Many found the micromanagement elements unnecessary and the overall gameplay dull, leading to a lack of motivation to continue or explore additional content.

    • “Grindy, slow, unpolished; the UI is suboptimal.”
    • “It's just so tedious and boring; I just can't recommend it.”
    • “Just dull and tedious - even ten minutes is enough to realize that gameplay is poor.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is criticized for being minimal and uninspired, with players feeling that the story lacks engagement. While leveling up feels solid, the impact of stats and abilities is unclear, and players must seek out additional resources to enhance their characters, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “If you want to play a bit with everyone or pick and choose when you like, you will almost certainly have to hunt down extra character development resources for improving their gear, which are item-based and obtained on the map.”
    • “The story seems bland, character development is hardly present, and while leveling feels solid, I can't tell how much the stats and abilities upgrade or matter.”
    • “If you want to play with different characters or pick and choose when you like, you will almost certainly have to hunt down extra character development resources for improving their gear, which are item-based and obtained on the map.”
    • “The story was engaging, but the gameplay and character design are clunky and lack inspiration.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is notably lacking compared to its predecessor, with users highlighting the absence of witty dialogue and engaging quests. Instead, the repetitive and simplistic voiceovers, such as the main character's constant shouting of "charge!", detract from the overall experience.

    • “Part of the draw for Warcraft was that it still managed to have humor while involving the terrors of war by using witty dialogue and enticing quests.”
    • “And hilariously bad voiceovers.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized, with users finding the story, characters, and overall experience to be bland and unengaging, leading to a lack of emotional investment.

    • “The story lacks depth and fails to evoke any real emotions.”
    • “Character development is minimal, making it hard to connect with anyone in the game.”
    • “The overall experience feels flat and uninspired, leaving me emotionally disengaged.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in subpar performance across all graphical settings, particularly for players without high-end graphics cards. Even basic actions, like moving the camera, can be frustratingly slow, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The game is badly optimized, so no matter what graphical setting you are on, it will still run terribly if you don’t have a very powerful graphics card, which is ridiculous for a game this old.”
    • “I only played the first mission, but I was so frustrated by the lack of optimization that it was a pain just to move the camera around; it was so slow!”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally considered better than some other titles, as it is not deemed unplayably buggy; however, players report various issues such as wonky controls, sluggish graphics, and occasional bugs that detract from the overall experience.

    • “This game is buggy, feels like a port (wouldn't be surprised if it was). Controls and movements are wonky, units run in place at times; graphics are very sluggish, and anti-aliasing is poorly executed.”
    • “Not 'bad' in an unplayably buggy way like other people's games...”
