Not really sure how a different studio can release a game that appears to have 90% the same game mechanics as a previous game, just with a different theme. Maybe someone involved in the industry can explain that to me. Can game mechanics be copyrighted??
Not shitting on Desperados here, just curious. Will definitely be getting the game b/c I loved Shadow Tactics.
It's the same developer hence the striking similarities but the publisher is going to be the old one that released the original Desperados.
I'm hyped too as I just finished Shadow Tactics, liked it very much and there isn't much out there in the stealth-RTS genre that aged well.
However it does look like a bit of a reskin as you mentioned so I think 50 bucks seems a bit greedy on their part.
