Its okay. Kinda went through the content a bit too fast. Some bugs are annoying when standing inside a circle and its not "loading". Also the gold pickup is annoying because not always "clipping". You walk through the coin and it does not pick it up. Picking up items/ressources/gold needs to be somewhat "automated". Also there is no build with "no weapon" and there is no way to "remove items from the pool" etc. Also the explanations are bad, like what does it mean 1,2,3,4 and what does "strider" "exorcist" etc, mean. Information needs to be shown when hovering: what does this upgrad affect etc. Any stuff we unlocked needs to be shows as possible "future unlock tree" in the runs so we can strategically choose. Performance is lacking later on but the fact that we can "continue" after a crash is gold and really appreciated. Free aim needs to be not only on toggle but also as "as long you hold control, it shoots where the mouse is". There needs to be a map so we can circle around stuff we killed to pick up the loot, better would be to let it pickup everything after we successfuly finished the map. You could also make that be constrained by finiishing the "side quests". About these sidequests: there is no upside of doing them AFAIK? I propose: Finishing all side quests should guarantee pickup of all items we picked up. This game needs an infinite mode, get rid of animations to fight instability. Get rid of MAX items in loot pool? Like did I miss something? Do I need to buy them to get rid of it? I feel like I can get level 30 on anything but only the first 15 upgrade count. What I think is the best about this game: the autoaim feels so nice and it reminds me of controlling the laser trouper spawned in via cheats on "Age of Empires 2" (e=mc2trooper or whatever it was?) and the strong leveled up infantry from "C&C3 red alert+DLCs" and also a bit the design - rough edges - from "EARTH 2050/2060" if you can follow my nostalgia. I actually like this game but its grinded to death way too fast. I can just beat any map on any difficulty consistently so this game needs some challenge either via difficulty or via length.

Survivors of the Dawn is rather cheap. Don't recommend unless its on sale. Right now its under $4. Only recommend on sale due to game being in Early Access and rumors of developer having abandoned the game. People in the discussions have claimed this game is buggy and prone to crashing. I'm sure the developers can fix this, but I'm suspicious the crashes are from people playing the game on a potato. Survivors of the Dawn is graphically intense. There's lots of ♥♥♥♥ going on on the screen all at once. Playing this on a laptop with a 3060, I'm surprised at how well it runs. But I do experience a dip in performance when I hit a boss. I've only ever had the game crash on me at the final boss where, for some reason, the game suddenly runs like crap on my computer when it appears and either goes back to running like normal after its defeated, or the game will poop all over itself then crash. Survivors of the Dawn is decent as a game, verging on good. Fairly basic compared to other games in this genre. It can be a little generic feeling. A bit easier than others in this genre since it isn't hard to become OP. The trailer is a bit bull-shotty, but the actual in-game graphics do stand out as being pretty good for a budget game like this. The field of view and number of on-screen enemies I see are smaller on my laptop than the trailer. There should be term for this genre that isn't 'rogue-like'. I'd say "horde walker" since you're walking through a constantly spawning horde of enemies trying not to touch them. Maybe Vampire Savior-like? That's exactly what this game is, except you can aim as you walk around. If you happen to like games like this, give Survivors of the Dawn a try. Its still in early access and doesn't feel quite like its complete, but its far enough along to be a complete game with a start and finish. It's lacking the polish it needs to be worth buying at full price though.

A mediocre horde survival rougelite. Its got a really addictive kick to its progression/unlock phase. The achievements are tied to new skills making the early game unlocks feel fresh. Some of the skills feel great, the environments look nice, and the game is mostly enjoyable if only for a few runs. Unfortunately it can all get very tiresome very quickly. First, the variety of content is kind of lacking. The game has a stagelike campaign that is kinda pointless, with each stage just like the last. Even though you have enough skills and upgrades to choose from, it will not offer any challenge at any difficulty when you figure out you can just overclock your starting weapon to ridiculous levels to win. The bosses are slow and barely do anything but stare at you menacingly. There are several heroes to choose from but there isn't any hint of story or background. Also, one or two of the skills are so poorly optimized they can slow your framerate to single digits when you upgrade spam one skill. Stay for a few runs then uninstall 5/10

I have seen some reviews comparing this to Vampire Survivors or moreso saying this is a knockoff. Let me ask you this. Are you a fan of Medieval or Futuristic? Fantasy or Science Fiction? Elder Scrolls or Fallout? If you lean more to the left, you likely would enjoy Vampire Survivors more. If you lean more to the right, then this is your game. I find it easier to pour hours into this game as the futuristic sense appeals more to me. I believe Vampire Survivors likely can have more replay value in the long run but if you can find a sale for this, there's likely a solid 10-20 hours you can gain from this and for the price I would say its well worth it. There seems to be some definite difficulty to this game but if you find the right combinations that work for you (and with a bit of luck) it can be easy as well. I typically don't play games like this often if ever but this caught my eye and I enjoy it!

Fun game. Visuals are clean, music is okay, champions are diverse. All 3 planets are exotic, but we could use a few more - maybe with more lush greenery or arid yellows. If you watched the trailer, you understand a lot can happen on-screen at once - my eye was able to parse through it well enough - but it may overwhelm other fans of the genre. Ion Beacon is THE BEST weapon in the game, in my opinion, which REALLY adds to the visual noise. Besides Ion Beacon, there's a lot of other cool, unique weapons to choose from - but many require rebalancing or empowering, even if their purpose isn't DPS. Crowd control weapons, radial attacks, piercing weapons, none of it provides the control like Ion Beacon eliminating enemies. You'll need to play it a few hours before you interpret mechanisms that, at first, seem alien; blue orbs are XP, yellow orbs are money, hearts are HP, and brains are... still unclear to me. Hacking slowly acquires cash, red circles are kill counters, different "towers" with a single, double, or triple spire are different than stores and armories... it could be better decoded... but I guess we're on an alien planet, so things are alien at first. And sometimes, it just doesn't make sense to finish your secondary objectives depending on the build / difficulty. In fact, secondary objectives don't better the chance of a win, so... why complete them? A lot of goodies also get left behind when the countdown ends. So a couple things could use work. Technically, the game will sometimes crash, but you can continue your progress from the start menu. RNG is diverse - you'll have balanced wins and losses. As you complete runs, you'll permanently upgrade your account, and solidify your chance of wins. Ultimately, Survivors of the Dawn has promise, but could use continued development. Tune it up and it'll hit a wider audience. I'll obtain 100% achievements. If the game educated players about itself - faster - sub-goals made a larger impact, and everything more directly pointed to a win, this would hold up as one of the better bullet heaven games.
