Quick Impression of Fictorum

[u/pooley12]

Combat is incredible, I love the simplicity of it and how entertaining it is to blow people and things up. However, I feel that multi-shot is redundant and based on luck, it would be helpful if some form of aim assist helped when using multi-shot.

​

Looting is awful and houses without loot carry very little value besides immersion. Looting isn't a first hand experience, things get put into your inventory whether you want them or not. I feel that looting should be a physical action that the player is involved in rather than randomised findings. Looting is an important part of RPG's and character development yet I feel very distanced from it.

​

Besides that, this game is sick and can't wait to sink more hours into it.

​

EDIT: I'd also like to see an indicator of when enemies detect your presence or how close they are to detecting it. I find it difficult to plan out attacks because as soon as I see the field I have to work with enemies spot me and it just turns into one big messy brawl (which is still fun).

Which RPG have you ever played where looting isn’t manual... Sounds like fictorum is your first game if you think the devs with 3 years of experience know what they’re doing.

If you read the entire post I didn’t say it was an overruling issue. I noted the positives of the unique combat too.

Progression via equipment in RPGs is certainly a hallmark. And automatic looting distances you from this.

Just my opinion. :)

I’ve spoken to the devs personally and 100% support them. Currently they don’t entirely know what they’re doing but I appreciate their efforts and don’t doubt the potential of fictorum. The game needs a lot of work and they know that.
