Instead your only goal is to survive or hold on until the time runs out or some other even triggers. Survival Countdown sequences are not specific tasks, not simple objectives to follow. The gameplay remains the same as do all the rules, but now you have that timer pressuring you. These timed sequences add tension to a sequence. Maybe it’s escaping a room before a bomb blows up, or escape a crime-scene before the police arrive, or lock your doors before someone comes barging in. Timed Tasks, as their name imply mean you have a set time to go about your business. Unlike other Annoying Game Mechanics, there are two types of Timed Sequences: Maybe they want you to hurry the hell up before the nuclear reactor blows up, or maybe they want you to hold on to dear life and withstand something unfairly difficult for a little while before something else happens! These are Timed Sequences, events or segments in a game where you have a finite time window to complete a task. Sometimes games need to add a bit more pressure to your current task. You already have me mumbling on video with good audio! You don’t need me mumbling on video with poor audio. This week the mechanic I’m having an issue with is Timed Sequences! I’m pulling this one from the archives, as this was the last AGM to be featured on the site, and it was a video! Thankfully, there are no records of it ever existing and the world is a happier place for it. You can’t love them but you can’t hate them either, but you can definitely be annoyed! You’ve seen them at their best but you’ve also seen them at their worst. I appreciate these are bigger changes, especially having higher levels and more damage types would require lots of thought, design, testing and rebalancing.Annoying Game Mechanics are those that just make you groan when you see them in a game. Maybe ones that give you a special card, or take a card away from you, or teleport you, etc. I'd love to see dungeons with 6-15 fights and characters (and monsters) up to level 6 routinely or 7 max.Ĥ) A few other special dungeon tiles. Right now, an average dungeon is 3-8 fights, with your character getting to level 4 max. Would introduce lots of additional complexity and flavour.Ģ) more options on levelling and guild improvementģ) Longer dungeons with higher levels. Maybe physical / elemental / magical damage. Things that might help:ġ) a third damage type. For me, the main thing that would encourage me to buy a DLC or new game would be a somewhat longer and more strategic dungeoneering experience. The challenge will be developing something that keeps you involved after the 10-20 or so hours you can reasonably spend on the game right now. This is a fantastic game, very happy with my purchase!
