While it remains true that Ede is the source of every detail of the game, some assets were created by his friends Balázs Bodnár, Tamás Gyermán and Gábor Menyhárt, who are credited with their contribution.Engaging and original story with varied missions A single player game Polished, dynamic and fluid unit control Beautiful graphics; realistic environments Amazing immersive music Steam WorkshopShare the maps you create in the editor with the Community. 7aa9394dea Title: Meridian: New WorldGenre: Indie, StrategyDeveloper:Elder GamesPublisher:Merge Games, Headup GamesRelease Date: 4 Apr, 2014 Meridian: New World Download For Pc Highly Compressed meridian new world трейнер. meridian new world android скачать. meridian new world walkthrough. meridian new world android скачать. meridian new world guide. meridian new world трейнер. meridian new world steam. meridian new world trailer. kody do meridian new world. meridian new world guide. meridian new world cheats. meridian new world lösung. meridian a new world. meridian new world gameplay. meridian new world patch download. meridian new world test. meridian new world gameplay pc. meridian new world recensione. meridian new world download. meridian new world pc gameplay. meridian new world español. meridian-new-world-pc-em-pt-br-completo. lets play meridian new world. meridian new world pc. meridian new world review. meridian new world обзор. meridian new world gameplay german. meridian new world. meridian new world download. meridian new world multiplayer. meridian new world recensione. lets play meridian new world. gra meridian new world. meridian new world cheats. meridian new world traduzione ita. meridian new world trainer. meridian new world pc gameplay. meridian new world traduzione ita. meridian new world multiplayer. r.g. mechanics meridian - new world. meridian new world oyunu. meridian new world system requirements. meridian new world gameplay german. meridian new world metacritic. meridian new world engine. meridian a new world. meridian the new world. meridian new world. meridian new world requisitos. meridian new world contributor pack. meridian new world test. meridian new world review. meridian-new-world-pc-em-pt-br-completo. meridian new world cheat codes. meridian new world wiki. meridian new world gameplay br. meridian new world cheat engine. meridian new world trainer 1.05. meridian new world cheat table. meridian new world коды. meridian new world crack. meridian new world cheat engine table. kody do meridian new world. meridian new world обзор. meridian new world cheat codes. meridian new world lösung. meridian new world oyunu. meridian new world cheat table. meridian new world trailer. meridian the new world. meridian new world deutsch. meridian new world cheat engine table. meridian new world system requirements. meridian new world wiki. meridian new world crack. meridian new world deutsch. meridian new world game. meridian new world game. meridian new world коды. meridian new world soundtrack. meridian new world español. meridian new world engine. gra meridian new world. meridian new world gameplay. meridian new world patch download. meridian new world trainer. meridian new world trainer 1.05. meridian new world requisitos. r.g. mechanics meridian - new world. meridian new world steam. meridian new world pc. meridian new world cheat engine. meridian new world soundtrack This is probably the worst game I have in library.If you want to, in any way shape or form, have a conventional RTS experience, this game isn't for you.If you want to have an unconventional, but fun RTS experience, this game isn't for you.If you think that devs should make sensible design decisions, this game isn't for you.I'm not going to drag you through the mechanics of this game, but I'll hightlight what is definitly wrong with this and probably won't be fixed unless they completely rebuild the game:1. Grouping.Your units are placed in a grid and occupy square spaces of the same size for all units. This doesn't have to be a bad thing necessarily, however, if you cannot pass through your own units and paths sometimes only give you two possible squares to move through, it becomes a real pain to maneuver.2. Movement.The movement in this game is abyssmal. Aside from having extreme difficulties to effectively select units, you will also encounter problems with the pathfinding of each unit. Because your own units are impassable, you may find paths in which all movement comes to a halt. If you select an area to move to, the units will get predetermined places to stand on. However, if the units in the front will have the closest squares in that area and the path is narrow enough so that they block the movement for your other units, the other units will just quit moving altogether, which results in a split of all units and not even close to the positioning the game previews. That units will never attack while moving also results in some \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 combat encounters.3. Level designFrom what I've played, there have been multiple missions in the campaign that will result in extremely unfavorable matchups against the AI. This wouldn't be too bad if the base mechanics were reasonably well designed. However, with the current implementation of them, some missions get either near impossible even on easy difficulties or result in very long spans of micro-ing every single unit into the correct position.Verdict:I can't conceive of a single reason anyone would want to play this game. Don't buy this, not even on sale.. Looks ok in screenshots, but the gameplay is clunky and dreadful.It's too late for me, save yourselves from this.. Think C&C but then...-Remove all but one Faction-Cut the unit roster down to a quarter-Boil away all charm and personallity -Cannibalise the UILearn from my mistake, save your hard earned money.. My goodness, this is an awful game.I see what they are trying to do, I really do. Meridian: New World is trying to be a throwback to the good old days of Westwood and Command and Conquer, and has many good ideas along the way, but it fails on too many levels to be anything but a waste of money. Poor controls, optimization, visuals, voice acting, and a general feeling of shabbiness ruin what may have, at one time, had the potential for an interesting experience.There is the germ of good ideas here; you can customize the loadouts of individual units upon construction, which is always neat, and the story is attempting to be that rarest of beasts, a character-driven RTS. You, the player, have a branching tech tree that allows you to perfom actions like healing individual units, disable enemy vehicles, that sort of thing. The problem is, like so many games of a more indie persuasion, the good ideas fail to live up to their potential. The customizable loadouts are a good idea, but it's done when you start building your units, meaning that by the time it's done, you may have wanted something different...but too bad! You'll need to build a new one. Compare Dawn of War, which had a fantastic loadout system. The story is uninteresting, poorly translated into english, and with pretty awful voice acting. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but they are clearly trying to use branching, bioware style conversation trees and characterization to drive the plot. Bad voice acting undermines this goal. The controls are slow and stiff, with painfully snail-like camera panning, and the ugly, impractical UI doesn't help. In a good RTS, your units feel alive, and responsive, and you are able to control them with precision and skill. Here, I feel lucky when they are even able to move where I want them to go. And if I wanted to change the controls to fit my needs, I have exactly two options to customize controls; mouse sensitivity and a toggle for "camera panning," a mysterious button with no discenerable effect on gameplay.The players ability tree works well though. Kudos for that, though it was at first a little unclear how the energy bar that powers your abilities works. Unfortunately, there is only one faction (something the original Command and Conquer was able to overcome), and so the tech tree is the only source of variety you're going to get.Moving on, the game is ugly an poorly optimized. It chugged more than games that look far better than this does, and crashes frequently. I know this is part of the early access package, but you have to keep it together if you want players to stick with it until the final release.Finally, on a less easily described note, the game just feels...shabby. Other early access games have been able to have a feeling of beauty and vibrancy from the very beginning, but this game feels broken on a more fundamental level.Taken as a whole, Meridian: New World is, quite, quite awful. It is the product of one man's vision, and where for some games that means a new experience, here it is clearly the work of someone in way over their head, trying to match the work of those who are far more skilled. It would take a truly gargantuan effort to make this game worth playing at its final release date, and I just can't see it happening. Take this game as an example of Steam's famously lax quality control. Or better still, don't take the game, and go play your favorite good RTS instead.. If you're a fan of RTS games, ala SC2 this game might just be for you. Is it StarCraft II??...well, no. But this game puts a few interesting spins on the RTS formula that make it really interesting and fun to play. Instead of producing a standard unit and upgrading offense\/defense from an approriate facility (this game has this feature aswell for unit specific upgrades), any weapon upgrades you research for your units can ONLY be applied when they are created. For example, you can Research upgraded cannons, rockets, lasers, railguns etc. that are purchased with the creation of your new unit (varried costs). Cannons are strong vs infantry, Rockets apply area damage, Lasers have increased range and Railguns jump to nearby units. Also, Commander abilities add alot to gameplay (a SC2 comparison would be hero powers, but they are only usable when you have a hero and only with hero in range). Meridian's 'Commander' abilities are usable anytime and anywhere on the map not affected by fog of war. These powers do come at a cost in the form of an regenerative energy bar and vary from Direct Damage to Healing to Increased build\/production rates. These abilities are trained with points you acquire when you level up. No Multiplayer (yet at least), some pathing issues and at times questionable voice acting are the only minor concerns with this title. NOTE: This game was for the most part made by ONE MAN in 2 years. Damn impressive.. THIS is the kind of RTS i like, yea it may be early access, but it is good enough to stand up alongside with quite a few alltime favourates of mine, yes, that means you Supreme Commander.In terms of gameplay, it could be improved only with additions that im pretty sure the lone developer is planning on adding anyway, my point is, if you have the money, you should get this, its not often i do reviews, but for an early access game, this game is well structured and is worth it.I would rate this 8.5 \/ 10 , or 4 stars.. 5\/10.A late '90's style Real-Time Strategy game, with a simplistic but solid foundation. What you can expect: Around 15 hours of fun, 90's RTS inspired nostalgia... and a bit of frustration, too. Beware that the variety of units, and some features of gameplay are very simplistic, so you will likely need to adjust to the limitations of such a basic system. Hints: In the campaign, there is often an easy win condition. For example, rush to build a line of turrets at a bottle-neck; or, look for some unguarded enemy power stations; or, rescue the group of neutral units to get a bigger army. The simulation maps are great ways to pick up a few handy hints on gameplay. A bit of a rant about the things that frustrated me about this game: Kudos to this lone developer for making what is essentially the basis for a great game. Unfortunately, the developer made a few gameplay decisions which entirely spoilt this game for me, especially since this is a strategy game. Namely: cannot attack while moving (can't even begin to list the strategic consequences of this) too few micromanagement options (such as no patrol option, no defend-this-building button, no action\/movement queuing) Units sometimes wouldn't auto-acquire enemies that came in range. "attack towards" would first move my units forwards a few meters before attacking anything too few units and buildings (exaggerates hard counters, eg 2 rocket-launcher light tanks beats a whole army of troopers. What's worse is that because there are so few unit types theres a very good chance that this would happen. You end up needing to build 2 of everything which is just fiddly and annoying) Finally, I stopped playing this game after a Campaign map where the enemy has somehow amassed an army of around 100 units, and had 6 unit-producing buildings surrounded by turrets. It was an impenetrable wall of units that just kept regenerating.An example of how a fight would play out: You have a squadron of aerial fighters with high-ranged armor-piercing weapons. The enemy has a rag-tag mix of every conceivable vehicle\/infanty and weapon variant. In all likelihood you'll win this one. However, you need to retreat in order to prevent the AI from focus firing your units down. You spend a few seconds moving away (taking damage the whole time and unable to damage them while doing so) they finally catch up, but their high-range tanks reached you first and they start shooting (out of field of vision range) you use the attack-towards command to save the few seconds it takes to manually target them once they come into your view. Your units fly a bit farther than was necessary due to \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 auto targetting; putting their whole army in range of yours. Very soon your whole army is getting flanked and shot down one-by-one with no focus fire. You cannot do the retreat strategy because that means more time taking damaging whilst dealing no damage. You decide to manually focus fire. That's all good an fine, but you're losing damage efficiency in the seconds between then your manual target dies and when you manually target the next enemy. Don't even think about using the attack-towards function to lessen this down time, though, because we've already established that it's not viable. .. in a last desperate attempt to win the fight you retreat slightly and attack-towards just in front of where the remaining enemy army will emerge. This time, a close-ranged scouting vehicle comes into sight on its own (slightly ahead of the rest of their army) your unit's auto-acquire this target; quickly killing it before any other enemies come into sight. You move a few meters forwards; (unbeknowst to you) you reach the spot where you'd originally anticipated they would appear... HOWEVER! The attack-towards command has finished executing. Now, due to \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 auto-targetting your units dont even attack the rest of the enemy army as it comes into sight. You get picked off in the following few seconds. You escape with 3 units left on 5% health each. You use AoE heal, but somehow despite your units being within the displayed grid only one of them gets healed at all.. Simply put, this game is awful to actually play. If that's all you need from a review, you can stop here. If you want to know WHY this game is awful, keep reading.1. StorylineThe story is pretty uninspired. It's not completely terrible, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. Maybe it gets better, but I couldn't get too far due to numerous frustrations before I dropped the game. The voice acting is at best, average. WIth woodenly delivered lines, and dialogue that could have been written by a chat-bot.2. GameplayThis is the main problem. An average to below average plot\/voice acting can often be made up for in gameplay. Unfortunately these developers seem to have forgotten how RTS' work. Problem 1: The perspective and selection of units.The angle of the game, and the awful awful unit boxes make it very difficult to get all your units, or select individual units, or really do basic things quickly and efficiently. Did you miss on of your units when trying to select it? Well screw you player! Because now you have NOTHING selected. Isn't that great? There are several abilities in the game that you are to use on a singular unit. This is difficult and can cause issues. Anyone who is used to a well made RTS, and want's to micro and control army effectively is in for a bad time. This however, is not the only contributor to that bad time.Problem 2: The (lack of) pathfindingYou know when you play a game, and sometimes your unit happens to go a weird way around the map to the location you sent it to? Usually doesn't happen that often, and usually isn't a big deal. That's not the case In Meridian: forgotten mechanics. Do you want to move somewhere specific? They will eventually get there. Not together, not in a timely manner, but eventually. Just hope there are no enemies to fight.What happens when there are enemies? Well I'm glad you asked! See, if you run in to an enemy, while moving around the map, chances are everyone in your dumb as hell army has separated into squads of 1. Thankfully, the enemy AI will just put them out of their misery. Now, it is possible you'll actually have your army together and want to attack. One of the basic moves in an RTS is to Attack move. In almost every RTS ever made, as soon as an enemy is in sight and range, the guns start blazing. In "Meridian: What LSD trip made us think we knew how to make a game", you will find, at almost every occasion, your units running directly at the enemy without firing. Without realizing that they are NOT some sort of kamikaze unit. Without deigning to obey your commands in a remotely satisfactory manner.Thanks to these amazing mechanics, you often need to retreat to try to herd your dumb struck army in to a semblance of a group so you can actually play the game. In most RTS' retreat is a viable strategy. In "Meridian: Oh my GOD does anyone know how to walk?" this is nigh impossible. Retreating involves attempting to move away from the enemy. In the unlikely event your units actually manage to walk away from the enemy, you will find them immediately attempting to engage the enemy. The worst part is, the terrible pathing and AI means that they will have half trying to get back somewhere, half who are going the other way and get stuck on eachother, and no one actually firing on the enemy OR retreating. The target acquisition range is just absolutely nuts. It doesn't make sense. I've had units react to hostiles WHO WEREN"T VISIBLE YET. I'm pretty sure Chewbacca lives on Endor, because it just doesn't, make, sense.Bonus problem:Hotkeys. I get having your own hotkeys for your game so you can be "different" so all the cool kids will like you. But changing fundamentals like moving the hold position command from 'H' to 'E' is just plain stupid. There's many similar changes in this game. "Meridian: who even needs hotkeys anyway" decided to reinvent their hotkeys from the refined version most games have settled with, to a new pile of crap that no one wants to be in.3. GraphicsThis is the only area where Meridian: Really Shiny gets any sort of credit. I'm not saying it's a visually stunning masterpiece. But it is nice. It's vibrant. Also really shiny. Nothing to write home about, but nothing particularly bad either.Final Thoughts: There are lots of RTS games out there. There is a reason that Command and Conquer, Warcraft 1, 2 AND 3, Starcraft 1 AND 2 are all timeless classics. There is a reason that most RTS games have similar if not identical base mechanics to each other. It's because they WORK, and they work WELL. They allow strategy, micro and macro. Meridian: Barely a functional game decided that's not necessary in their RTS. They wanted to be different, to be cool, instead everyone should be making fun of them and ignoring them.. Meridian: New World is made by one developed, one! and after play the game for some time, the level of quality the game has to offer for the price it's asking is just amazing, the look and feel of the game, and the sound track is just great, it even has a high quality single player campaign with full of voiced characters. I'm not that into and not that good at RTS games, but a know a good one when i play one.More info at: http:\/\/www.ksalue.com\/main\/2014\/04\/game-shock-meridian-new-world\/http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5bfE3pqdnzE
