Technomancer is a great mid-tier game in a time of either indie or AAA. In this landscape of huge budgets or homegrown tales of scrapping a game together with shoestrings and duct tape, there’s an opportunity for gaps to be filled. Spiders bring us a competent Sci-Fi RPG that gives depth, interesting mechanics, and challenging combat with a clear progression. What it lacks in a few technical hiccups, control frustrations, and lack of weight behind decisions it makes up for in the ability for the player to play the core game any way they want.
Jehanne Rousseau recently provided in-depth details for what we can expect from Spiders' upcoming RPG title, GreedFall.
Technomancer was alright, but you could tell that the budget hindered it. I'm looking forward to Greedfall.
Technomancer feels like its a game lost in time- sometimes that can be
refreshing a evoke a sense of nostalgia that can make you realize what
you've been missing for years....and some times it remind you of why games
evolve the way they do.
It's rare to find a developer which somehow gets worse with every game. Despite having nearly every lesson spelled out for them, all the feedback they could wish for, Spiders managed to churn out one of their worst games to date. This is effectively Bound By Flame all over again, merely dolled up in a science fiction setting after having its every strength surgically removed. Gone are the fascinating enemy designs, the engaging ideas behind crafting system and some of the combat concepts; all chopped away until we're left with a tedious and uninspired action RPG.
