I like Battle Brothers and was looking forward to Menace. From the videos it seems they went for the full representation with way to many women in a combat scenario.
I may be just paranoid after the last 10 years but it really put me off the game.
Has anyone play the demo? What was your opinion?
Just looked this game up -- and wow. This is my kind of game, conceptually.
It's like UFO Defence, Jagged Alliance, Helldivers, Battletech, Aliens and Earthsiege all rolled into one.
I'm loving the different vehicles and artillery (we really need more TBS games with artillery support).
Hopefully your being wary about the women is related to the random soldier creation? (does it have random soldier creation like old UFO games?)
I'll keep an eye on this one and monitor the discussion.
It looks like there are commanders with full back story that are women, they highlight a black woman. Not looking forward to women shouting orders to be honest. I dislike women shouting in general and I can't take serious a woman trying to be intimidating.
Oh wow, well in that case, that's not a good thing at all.
I'm right there with you about an annoying Shaniqua hollering orders like she has some sort of physical authority to enforce those orders. It was one of the things (amongst others) that instantly put me off of Aliens: Fire Team Alpha.
