Feature: Replay opponents turn/s between my turns (which I missed in turn based modes)

[Michalxo]

Hello,

while I understand, that this type of game/s is best played in real time mode, not everyone (majority does not?) has time to play it this way and prefer turn based mode.
While most of the other games show you what has happened (or it's really simple to figure out / or not as important to know), for Colt Express this is the most fun and crucial aspect of this action game. What has happened who took what etc.

When we play turn based mode - we just put cards on table and nobody cares anymore what who done. Can it be possible to rewind whole "action story" between mine last turn and my next move? So my train of thoughts and who did what stays in the action mode?

I hope I have explained myself clearly. If not, please ask.

Thank you very much!

Hello,
I’d like to support this request. I think it’s essential for playing this game in turn-based mode. Without it, the game loses its charm. It’s as if the entire game were played in Tunnel mode.

In any case, thanks for porting this game to BGA

Hi,

I beg to differ.
I've made the history to vanish on purpose in Colt Express, because actually part of the fun is to work from memory and partial information about what opponents planned. In my opinion, a full replayable history would completely transform the game into a minmaxing task and turn it on its head.

No, not full history review. Just from your last turn. Because turn-based can take days and I don't know anyone who remembers anything after few hours of not playing a game.

@Quinarbre
Yes, that applies to real-time gameplay. The request was intended for turn-based gameplay. Perhaps as an optional feature when starting a game. In turn-based gameplay, no one sits in front of their browser to watch what others are doing. As I wrote, this effectively puts the game in Tunnel Mode for the entire duration.

I would play turn-based if this was implemented. As it is now, turn-based is unplayable.
