Had been following the development for a while before it had released and was very excited. After playing it for a while the game has so much potential. In its current state as of writing this review it is pretty bare bones but has core functions down like base building, task allocation, and expeditions. Even has a fair bit of items and customization options. You will end up hitting a progression wall as most of the crafting materials haven't been implemented yet. Overall I believe its in a good state for such a small dev team. For only $15USD Id say its a good investment to support the devs and watch this game grow
While when I first got it, it had a bug that made the game unplayable for me, I couldn't launch a new game with out some weird graphics bug but that has seen been fixed. Now that I have been able to play it, the core game play is there and I love it, this game has great potential to be good if the developer keeps working at it, it will be even better if the dev adds good mod support for the game. The building aspect as of now is a little limited, the combat tho feel fluid despite being EA, the controls for your survivors are very limited but again the game is in EA, I hope it's full potential comes to bare.
As of writing this review, there is little to do in the game, and its very boring. I build a 2 story house, hunt some animals and die horribly during expedition. The combat is simple and similar to that found in Rimworld. I had an issue with loading a save. On the flip-side I like the graphical style. I hope the game will be develop further.
This game has so much potential. I would still recommend it to new people even though, yes it has much more to fix and update. Think of buying this game as an early investment to help the development team keep pushing. When you play it, you will see how much potential it has.
