I ended up picking this up as they added some games I didn't already own.

Oddly I've spent most of my time playing HammerFight despite already having a copy. I forgot how visceral the combat is. I've got some pole-axe with a red/blood gem in it; It's great. I also opened a mode I'd not seen before called Tribal Warfare(?), not sure how.

Atom Zombie Smasher is insanely fun.
And it works for when I want a hard game, and when I want a zen time-killer game (Triplets, Chooser, extended. A sniper, some artillery, and you will never lose. Especially as your stuff levels up so you can just explode everything that spawns before it moves.).

Hammerfight and Atom Zombie Smasher are the only ones I find worth the purchase...

Not that it's not worth it of course, those 2 games are on insanely awesome levels of awesome.

Hammerfight is the biggest waste of time in the whole package, The level advance bug just refuses to let me continue past stage 2. Ever. The rest of them all seem pretty solid though.

Worth it especially if you pay above the average and get all of HIB2 in addition to 3...

you can profile edit your way past the bug if you get it.

Exactly WHAT is the stage advance bug? Which stage is it? In the many times I've played this game, I've encountered something like that only ONCE, and that was easily fixed from ingame.

(before this version I've also had it on the last level of Hammerball, but only sporadically)

edit: Also, in continuation of my earlier experiments, a fireball/grenade launcher set to fire at 100RPS is still an awful weapon, which I suppose proves its general suckyness. The problem with it is that even a concentrated burst of several dozen fireballs doesn't do significant damage to the opponent. And god forbid if you kept the trigger down until one of the fireballs connected with something - you're almost guaranteed to die, or at least wish you did.

The most awesome weapon combo I could make so far is a souped up Tribun/Mortar. You've got some semblance of a melee weapon for fighting, an effective daisycutter to easily chop up organics or wooden frames, and a decent heavy-hitting cannonball for the metal frames. I suppose I could tone the mortar down so that it doesn't throw me across the screen every time I hold down the fire button for more than a split fraction of a second, but it's more fun this way.

The one I'm encountering is: mission 2, either path, complete objectives, see victory screen, but no score ever tallies and the game doesn't advance. I've downloaded the steam and updated non-steam version, same thing. Restarted, rebooted, reinstalled, replayed, every single time it refuses to advance after mission 2.

My guess is it's a hardware thing, coz the people who have it, get it a LOT, and the ones who don't have never had problems. Developer(s?) can't get it to even happen on the test system.

I'll try that next time I'm in a patient mood. I really don't like having to do cheaty things to make a game work, but if that's the only way I can finish, I guess I have no choice.

Have you tried running it as administrator? I had sounds problems until I did and some levels wouldn't progress. I guess it was because it was waiting for the victory sfx to play before moving on.

I now own both bundles. AZS is pretty fun, getting handed the wrong combination of mercenaries tends to screw you over a bit but it adds a nice challenge to the game, particularly when you have no active way of defending your LZ.

You can mod AZS really easily. Its pretty fun to have an entire team of artillery and ungodly amounts of zombies.

If you turn on Combatant, it helps with that quite a bit (you'll always get at least one out of Artillery, Sniper, and Infantry.

But I like how you have to look at your troops, and decide what level of place you can handle to take on.

...or you can turn the zombies green! It was necessary.

I played an extended round with unit choice enabled and managed to get my artillery team to level 6 before it was all over. Pair that up with maxed out multishot research and things like the elephantbird cannon start to look puny and weak by comparison.

I was under the impression that the elephantbird cannon WAS a maxed artillery.

Pretty sure that it is.
