i’ve played through it a lot, rough around the edges in a lot of places but it has enough fun mechanics to make the jank charming in a way.
story should be a non issue when it comes to pokemon fan games and romhacks if i’m being honest because there hasn’t been one that’s been done well, the best we’ve gotten are ones that are unobtrusive.
this is partly why discussion about anything pokemon related feels so stalemate is because people are trying to put squares in circle holes when it comes to the metrics of their opinion.
insurgence has some pretty dumb balance choices and tries to make it difficult in a way that isn’t particularly fun or causes you to think in any critical way, but that’s more an issue with pokemon’s gameplay than anything else, can’t be difficult without being bullshit and if it’s easy there’s no challenge at all, no in between.
areas of the game are pretty forgettable and the ones that are were for bad reasons, aesthetically a mishmash so it feels off and can’t reach full potential, music being rpgmaker sample tracks (i think dont quote me) sucks.
certain areas and parts of the game feel incomplete or downright shitty, the whole of the second region is notably ugly, don’t know if they redid last i played was version 1.2.5 i think.
favorite delta to use was bisharp or volcarona, haxorus was probably my favorite design.
i have more thoughts but this is long enough as is.
