While we’re huge fans of Australian game development here at games.on.net, we still have to critically examine every title that crosses our desks — even if they’re being produced right here in the homeland. Alex Walker has been agonising over his review of Frozen Hearth, an RTS by Epiphany Games out of Sydney’s Ultimo districts.
Sunday is the hardest day of the week, so let yourself enjoy a free Steam copy of Frozen Hearth.
Mitch of RGN writes, "Unfortunately the game's cluttered and stale interface and how the experience just isn't where it needs to be are all that comes across to most players of this title. Our team put it in the hands of more than one reviewer and ultimately the responsibility was handed to me. To deliver on the potential of the story-line and gameplay designs selected by the developer, a better color palette, better control scheme, better artificial intelligence, better voice acting, and better writing would be needed."
Gaming Nexus chats with Samuel Jensen of Epiphany Game about their current project (Frozen Hearth)and how Valve's Steamlight is as much of a hindrance as it is help to indie devs.
