As the ravening shitbeetles of the Edwinphage overran the coral fortifications of the neighbouring Aspect kingdom, filling the air with the moist crunch of mandible on polyp, it occurred to me that I don't feel as much like a horrible doomsday cockroach as I should. We'll circle back to that feeling. Endless Legend 2 launches into early access on 22nd September, and I've now spent around 20 hours with it. I've previously praised its new/reborn factions and retreating ocean mechanic, and I plan to carry on praising, but there are definitely some more comprehensive issues I'd love Amplitude to address as this splendid scarab of a turn-based strategy game rumbles toward 1.0.
