Another German preview

German Youtuber Strategos Xenophon has a long look at the Burden demo, with (translated) comments like "A really fantastic game" and "Very Brave, Very Innovative, there was nothing like it before but not a game for everybody."



Thanks Strategos Xenophon for the preview!

Listening to demo players

Players of our demo told us:

🧐
- 1 - reachable hexes vs in LOS hexes - hard to distinguish
- 2 - which units in stack selected - could be tricky to tell.
🧐

We listened.

Positive responses to the Burden demo

Burden of Command's public demo is getting positive responses from gaming influencers! Here are what History Gaming VFYD, Boomeron: First Person Señoro, and The Games Brew had to say:

From History Gaming VFYD:

Only had the time to play the tutorial (and embarrass the training officer xD) but this is definitely a very interesting narrative leadership-roleplay turn-based tactics game!

And from Boomeron: First Person Señoro:

Had time to put some time with the demo.

Ben Hull's Fields of Fire vibes everywhere, like it a lot. Loved the flavour history bits with each photo and the book quotes.

Great work, Luke. Can't wait for the full release.


And from The Games Brew:

Playing Burden Of Command feels like stepping into Band of Brothers! Tough decisions, real leadership, and intense moments—it's a battlefield experience like no other! 🎖️
