Demo feedback
Just finished the demo and I like what I see so far. I would like to suggest some changes/additions.
1) Cover and/or other indicators. I noticed that units are taking less damage in certain situations, mostly when standing on a forested tile. It would be good to let the player know the properties of the tile they want to move their unit to. That would help greatly in planning moves, especially since this is a phase-based turn-based game.
2) Leg damage to mechs has no consequences or penalties. There is no incentive to target that area in the current game state. If "destroying" the legs would at least reduce the mobility of enemy mechs (like increasing the AP needed to move or decreasing the move distance of a mech), there would be a point to adding the leg area as a specific target for aimed shots.
Otherwise a game I would recommend to every fan of turn-based tactical games, whether they're into mechs or not!

hello thanks for the feedback!
For your first point, we actually don't have any cover system in place on Kriegsfront. What we do have is a projectile system and different bullet spread for different weapons. So, the longer you attack the enemies, the less accurate the weapon will be and thus the damage would seem to be lower.
For the leg damage, we actually already have the exact mechanic that you mentioned. But we do need to visualize and communicate the effect better.
Again, thank you for the feedback and kind words!

+1 for the inconsequential leg destruction.
Thank you for looking into it, Hol En.

It seems to me that the closer the distance, easier it is to hit the body, it would be possible to add a reaction to the attack (like the animation of covering the body with hands). and it would also be worth removing weapons and backpacks from the calculation of hits

I think we're getting that in the full game. This was just a combat demo. Customization will come later.

Can the demo integrate designs and landscapes produced from the battlescraper, please?

I was also confused that destroying a mech's legs didn't seem to stop it moving. I expected it to be immobile or at least unable to move next turn.

for the projectile mechanic. I admit that one suprised me. As bullets were actualy cought up on things. For a moment I feared its gona be like X com.. where walls are just decorations if youre not hugging it.
Fact that you actualy aim yourself in first person is a nice touch

This game is the perfect Front Mission clone. It does exactly the same things wrong. But for excuse... Front Mission is 30 years old... so no excuses for this game.

Demo was a lot of fun. Only issue is the problem of slowly moving up being ideal. So the X-Com: EW fix of incentivizing the player to move forward rapidly by having Meld timers would probably be a good thing in these missions. Either that or have us be the defenders in the mission, so the enemies have to approach the player.

I had my WTF moment when it happened. I was expecting to at least to be immobile or better, to bend a knee, but no.
