This may be self-explanatory, but when playing solo, can I just make a squad of 4 soldiers anyway? Likewise, 2 people can each control 2 soldiers? (this is assuming 4 is the max squad size?)
Definitely! As long as you are taking the Soldier turns in the same order each time, you are good. Nothing stopping solo play with more Soldiers (you'll just likely want to bump the Difficulty up to match the higher squad total). And yea, 4 Soldiers is the intended maximum.
Played it a bunch and love it so far! Always been a fan of being surrounded by hordes of monsters. But something I’m not clear on is, does difficulty scale with the amount of Soldiers in a game?
Thanks for playing! I'm glad it's been fun. Right now, difficulty does not scale to the amount of Soldiers (meaning the doing the highest difficulty with just 1 or 2 Soldiers is likely to be near impossible, for example). I am planning a v1.1 update before I take the game to print so I may add a few more difficulties or a scaling option as well.
Got Firedrop free bc of the newsletter - awesome! Played Firedrop with my son yesterday. Excellent quick space marine/bug killer game. Clean rules. Loved the random generation of the missions.
5 stars!
For 2p, easy was too easy but good into to play. Hard gave us a good, tense fight.

Ooh, I’ll keep an eye out for that
