Frozen Synapse

Dowly · 05-27-11, 03:17 PM

Guess it's time someone made a thread about it.

If you don't know what it is, head over to http://www.frozensynapse.com/

or

take my explanation: Rainbow Six planning screen meets X-Com/Jagged Alliance

Rock, Paper, Shotgun preview:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010...rozen-synapse/

TotalBiscuit's (aka Cynical Brit's) 30min preview:

Amazing game, can't say much more. Just awesome.

For some online in-game match examples (without all the planning), you can check Arclight's channel or mine.

Fun, fun, fun (you know, like in that one girl's vid).

Was thinking: this one deserves a thread. Saves me the trouble.

And yes, excellent game. If you've got a tactical mind it won't disapoint. Relatively cheap too and comes with a free copy to give to a friend.

You can play with people at will too, they don't need to be online. Turn gets uploaded to a server and the other player is notified that he has a turn waiting. It's a streamlined, modern way of doing PBEM I guess.

Saw it advertised on Steam this afternoon (hopefully my boss isn't on this forum!), don't think I saw enough to make me want to buy it, but I guess it could be addictive when you start playing!

You'll all probably rave about it and then when I do decide to buy it, everybody will move onto Frozen 2ynapse - as I've no doubt it'll be called.

Arclight · 05-27-11, 07:11 PM

This is not the sort of thing to make a sequel for, and it's not getting removed from my drive. Ever. Not gonna happen.

Arclight · 06-12-11, 01:23 PM

Not normally one for shameless bumping or promotion, but really, it's good.

Did we mention it's only $25,- and that that gets you 2 copies? If you have a mate that's interested you can't go wrong. Or you can essentially get it half price if you can convince the bugger to chip in.

Anyone want to go halves?

Herr-Berbunch · 06-12-11, 01:50 PM

Yes please!!! I'll pm you shortly.

Herr-Berbunch · 06-14-11, 06:06 AM

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This game is great, just played the tutorial and one online game (result: draw - better than a lose!

)

It is addictive, if I didn't have to go to work then I'd be here all afternoon.

seaniam81 · 06-14-11, 02:48 PM

Glad you like it. It's a blast. Super addictive.

Arclight · 06-14-11, 03:12 PM

Glad to hear that as well.

Herr-Berbunch · 06-15-11, 01:54 PM

What server is everyone on? - well not everyone, but, aargh, you know what I mean!

Arclight · 06-15-11, 01:56 PM

Think I played UK6 last time with Lion. Don't know where the earlier games with Dowly floated off to, didn't have a selection back then.

Arclight · 08-12-11, 07:15 AM

There's a demo now as well, in case you were on the fence: http://www.frozensynapse.com/demo.html

Any of you chaps still playing this? I'm on the UK1 server and my ID is '0rpheus' (unsurprisingly lol). Would love to have a few matches if anyone still plays, I'm new but getting the hang of it slowly!
