As a lover of crafting/survival games, I surprisingly had a lot of fun with this one. There are the bones of a really great game here. Maps are random procgen (seeded) and there are four very unique characters to choose from so there's a decent amount of replayability and the core gameplay loop of collect resources - make food - build base is surpsisingly addictive. I finished three runs and found myself wanting to play more. The developer has unfortunately gone defunct, from what I can tell, so there are a couple of minor issues and bugs that will never be fixed, but if you're aware of them then you can definitely have a great time here. (just don't net urchins or plaspods) A lot of the reviews are from Early Access when it was still poorly balanced, but picking this up in 2026 I found this to be very playable. On hard especially, the constant raids keep you on your toes all the time and it really felt like a struggle to survive, so I would definitely suggest familiarizing yourself on Normal before going harder. My main complaint is that farming monster drops can get quite tedious as they take 5 ingame days to respawn, so you're limited by the number of spawns on the map, which in some cases can be very rare due to procgen. I had a map with literally only two cryonid spawns and I had to camp them on timer to get all the liquids I needed. Some other nitpicks are lack of ranged weapons and the fact that all the advanced grenades are pretty much useless (although the base ones are invaluable). All in all I actually think this is a great game which unfortunately the studio was unable to stay alive to keep maintaining.
I bought this on sale, but I was skeptical because of the reviews were pretty poor regarding camera and controls. I did find that true on the controller because you use right stick for moving the camera AND zooming, so you got a lot of unexpected and unhelpful camera behavior. However, once I moved to WASD, I found it far easier and very reliable. The isometric view is good, but I can see how people might want to zoom out or angle more. I am REALLY enjoying the game. There's lots to do and build. Based on the screenshots, there's so much more! It reminds me a bit of Aethus, which I really liked. The story seems engaging. The map shows plenty of resources and filtering options. I'm 6 hours , but it hasn't felt grindy (yet?). Update: I'm 62 hours in and still REALLY enjoying it. I'm playing solo, so it's a bit harder and started over once. Originally, I used Blott, but definitely not for a first time solo run. Quinn is well-rounded and effective, but I haven't tried the two others yet. I'm toward the end of the storyline (which is very good). I am at a point where I wish I were playing with others because I will need quite a bit of resources and the game switches from exploration to defense...
This is my first comment on any game here on steam and i make it because the game deserves it. I almost gave up on this game until i changed one thing (the difficulty) which made it great in my personal opinion. I love these type of survival games. I enjoy that struggle starting off with nothing and eventually advance enough to thrive. On normal difficulty i was unsuccessful because the need for food and keeping warm etc was too all consuming. I kept thinking It's fine I'll unlock some tech soon that will rebalance things but it didn't happen. I looked at the comments here on steam and learned that there is no easy solution other than get a cooker to cook food as you go etc so i did this but the need for food is still too time consuming. The worst thing was a review i read in the comments here which said 'even on easy it's too hard.' That was the worst advice ever because I almost quit and left the game thinking that 'I enjoy the survival struggle in these type of games but here its just too much time spent eating and keeping warm etc with no fun or time for much else.' so I was about to quit and something made me just quickly try out easy difficulty. Everything changed. So glad I tried it despite the comment suggesting it was still too hard. Finally i could enjoy the rest of the game. To be honest it did make it a bit too easy ultimately although that is only my personal opinion but that was better than throwing the game away and i was able to finally explore the entire map. People if you do struggle on normal difficulty, before you give up just switch to easy. Really fun game in the end well worth the time.
What a fantastic, unexpected gem of a game! I don't know how it's been out this long without catching my eye, but I'm very glad it finally did. 110% recommended. Beyond Contact is a great mix of combat, exploration, unlocks, crafts, base building, and tower defense. Colourful and fun. Interesting story. Characters are cute and loveable, but not excessively cutesy. Art style strikes just the right balance between realism and fantastical. The music is REALLY good, fits the theme perfectly, and there are enough tracks that I never find myself humming the theme, or getting annoyed and switching it off. My only complaint is that I wish you could turn off a couple of the graphic overlays, like when your character is freezing or burning. The overlays are a little too intense and give me eye strain. Or maybe that's just because I've been playing for too many hours without a break. lol. On the off chance that the devs see this, I have a couple of small bits of feedback: 1. It would be super handy if we could control-click to automatically deposit whatever is in your inventory into the storage facility, like you do in most games. Having to drag and drop is kinda annoying. 2. Fertilizers are a pain to apply. Please add the ability to activate a stack and then just click once on the plants you want to fertilize, like you do when you're planting seedlings. Dragging and dropping is, again, kind of a pain. 3. A verbal warning when power runs out at your base would be super helpful. Alas, my food has all rotted again because I forgot to top up my 'shroom generators! 4. Please allow larger stacks to be deposited into generators. Refilling generators is boring, and distracts you from the fun parts of the game. 5. Please add the ability to remove small rocks and debris, or add the ability to build base floors over top of them. 6. There's a small glitch in the menu where occasionally an item will get 'stuck' and not allow you to grab it or use lt. It can be fixed by dragging another item on top of it, so not a huge deal, but still a bug. Not sure if it effects items at random. The only one I noticed it on was the gas vine healing item.
