In a move designed to alleviate player frustration often associated with chance-based outcomes in strategy games like XCOM, AdHoc Studio’s upcoming superhero comedy title, Dispatch, incorporates a unique mechanic: any action possessing a success probability greater than 76% is automatically guaranteed to succeed. This design choice aims to provide players with a more predictable and rewarding experience, ensuring that high-probability tactical decisions consistently pay off.
The game, while drawing comparisons to the challenging randomness of its spiritual predecessor, deliberately tilts the odds in the player’s favor when success percentages reach a certain threshold. This means that while lower percentage chances still rely on the roll of a digital dice, players can strategize with confidence knowing that a strong majority chance will never unexpectedly fail.
