  • Fernageddon offers a deep and engaging tactical RPG experience, allowing players to lead a doomsday cult with a variety of classes and builds.
  • The combat system is reminiscent of Battle Brothers, featuring unique mechanics and satisfying turn-based battles that keep players engaged.
  • The game has a charming retro aesthetic and procedurally generated maps, providing good replayability and a unique feel.
  • The story is minimal and lacks the depth found in other games like Battle Brothers, which may disappoint players looking for a rich narrative.
  • Visuals and UI elements can be clunky and hard to read, with some graphical glitches and a busy interface that detracts from the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from balance issues, particularly with certain weapon types being underpowered, and there are occasional bugs that can disrupt gameplay.
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a blend of first-person exploration and tactical battle mechanics, drawing comparisons to Battle Brothers while introducing unique elements. Although the tutorial has some issues, the procedurally generated maps enhance replayability, and the developer remains actively engaged in improving the game. However, players note that the core objective of destroying villages can become repetitive, with increasing enemy difficulty as players progress.

    • “The combat system is similar to Battle Brothers but with enough unique mechanics to make it stand out.”
    • “The gameplay switches between a first-person exploration mode and a tactical view for battles.”
    • “The procedurally generated maps provide replay value, and the core mechanics work well.”
    • “The tutorial explains the game’s mechanics but doesn’t always work correctly.”
    • “There are many similarities to Battle Brothers, and while the game is fine, good, and entertaining, the overall game mechanic is to destroy every village you come across, and the enemy level gets harder and harder the more you travel, which is horrible.”
    • “For anyone with any playtime of the aforementioned, a lot of the mechanics are incredibly similar but with a first-person overland movement system.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story revolves around leading a doomsday cult with the goal of annihilating all human, elf, and dwarf settlements, offering a unique twist compared to typical mercenary themes in the genre. However, the narrative is considered minimal and lacks the depth and world-building found in other titles like Battle Brothers, with some players noting that the overall experience can still be enjoyable despite these shortcomings.

    • “The game’s story is minimal: the great lord of fire commands the fernageddon—a fiery apocalypse to destroy everything.”
    • “The narrative is intriguing, offering a unique perspective on the typical fantasy tropes.”
    • “Instead of a team of mercenaries (as seen in most games of the genre like Battle Brothers, Wartales, Urtuk, The Iron Oath, etc.), here you are leading a doomsday cult with the mission to destroy all human, elf, and dwarf settlements.”
    • “The story is present, but it's far from the great world that Overhype Studios created for Battle Brothers.”
    • “If the ugly world map and lack of meaningful story are not too much of a problem for you, take a look - the game is surprisingly deep and really fun.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are a blend of hand-drawn art and AI-generated visuals, which have been manually refined by the developers. While the visuals are considered acceptable, they reflect the typical aesthetic of the genre, which is often not visually striking.

    • “The visuals are okay, but games in this genre are often not that pretty.”
    • “It features hand-drawn graphics mixed with AI-generated visuals that have been edited by hand, as claimed by the developer.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is enhanced by procedurally generated maps, which offer fresh experiences with each playthrough. Additionally, the combination of strategic RPG elements and tactical combat contributes to its overall replay value.

    • “The procedurally generated maps provide replay value, and the core mechanics work well.”
    • “On the plus side, the maps are procedurally generated, which adds to the replayability.”
    • “A strategic RPG combining tactical combat and dungeon crawling into a neat package with good replay value.”
    • “The procedurally generated maps provide replay value, but the overall experience feels repetitive after a few runs.”
    • “While the maps are procedurally generated, the lack of meaningful content makes replaying feel tedious.”
    • “The core mechanics are solid, but without varied objectives, the replayability quickly diminishes.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers praise the character development system as a standout feature, comparing it favorably to other games like Battle Brothers, and highlighting its depth and flexibility in a sandbox tabletop RPG format.

    • “Excellent sandbox TRPG, similar to the great Battle Brothers but with a better character development system, in my opinion.”
    • “The character development in this game is incredibly deep, allowing for a wide range of customization and growth.”
    • “I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making each decision feel impactful and meaningful.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is enhanced by its background music, which is generally immersive; however, a notable bug during battles disrupts this experience by causing tracks to restart abruptly instead of looping smoothly.

    • “The background music creates an immersive atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The game's environment is rich and detailed, drawing players into its unique world.”
    • “The lighting and sound design work together beautifully to create a hauntingly atmospheric experience.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for being pleasant and atmospheric, enhancing the overall experience. However, players have reported a bug during battles where the tracks do not loop properly, leading to abrupt restarts that detract from the immersion.

    • “The turn-based fights are great, the number of builds, perks, skills, and items is huge, and the music is really pleasant for the ears (and if you have seen enough of my videos, you know that I can't stand bad music).”
    • “The background music is atmospheric but suffers from a bug in battles where tracks fail to loop correctly, restarting abruptly instead.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game experiences some stability issues, including occasional UI glitches and bugs, such as a rapidly cycling day/night cycle during exploration.

    • “There are some UI glitches here and there.”
    • “Bugs: For example, during overworld exploration, the day/night cycle occasionally glitches and cycles rapidly.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally solid, providing smooth performance in most situations; however, players may experience minor frame hitches during battles.

    • “The game runs smoothly in most scenarios, but minor frame hitches may occur during battles.”
