This game just received a massive update that changed how the game feels immensely. They FIXED THE AI, I have owned this game for years as I believe in the vision but it was in too much of an alpha state to enjoy before. That is no longer the case the enemy now moves and engages with the other ai like you expect it too. Also your guns are now actually damaging compared to earlier builds headshots are key. Something just clicked and now I cant put it down the UI is still clunky but much improved. Upgrading your base is now fun as opposed to before it was oppresive. TLDR: Very fun single player extraction shooter, where you are not the star of the show just a loot goblin trying to survive in a bleak future. Updates are still coming and have made this game great dont listen to old reviews arent valid anymore. If it was released today it would have much better ratings. If you are interested in the genre this is worth checking out. Lots of maps and a fairly large amount of content is already released.
Extremely good...HOWEVER. - The xp lock on the prestige system sucks big time. Please remove it or rework the whole thing. - Selling things is a pain, it should be a single click or single keystroke - Open stash should be tab in the innards - Every menu should be closed with 'R' like the bags in game - Stunlock shouldn't be a thing - Craft/upgrade wait times shouldn't be a thing - No ledge grab when falling, even from a small height - Recruits aren't spawning in, so I'm softlocked on a quest - My shotgun has a levitating shell off to my right - A few times now my killcount was certainly not accurate - When an enemy is too close your gun can pass through him so your bullet exits the gun behind his back - Enemies will spawn next to you if you're chillin in their spawn point Jank aside, this game is amazing it should be on the front page.
It's broken. It's janky. It's unfair. Almost nothing works the way it should. Helicopters clip into the earth and vanish forever. Enemies get stuck and teleport. Everyone stops fighting each other and bands together to shoot you when you appear even though you're a scavenger amid factions that are mortal enemies. The quests are banal and you have no idea which quests actually matter versus which can be repeated over and over. Once you've played enough, you know all of the potential spawns in all of the locations. Etc, etc. But damnit, I LOVE it. I love the playable characters (mostly), I love the environments, I love the atmosphere, I love looting TONS of post-apoc sci-fi materials, I love taking and repairing enemies' weapons, I love the music, I love mastering the weaponry... I know it's a work in progress. It's a bad game that needs a LOT of work, and I think the devs are working to put that labor in. But Steam reviews aren't about whether a game is good or bad. It's whether you recommend the game to others... and I do. Just know that you've been fairly warned.
It's a cool idea for a game and I've had some fun runs with other players once, but only once. I don't know how to actually find other people to play this, 99.999999999999999% of "lobbies" you will find are people just AFK at home base. And then there are still tons of huge debilitating glitches and bugs. I support the idea of buying this game just to support interesting creative devs, but this game still needs a bunch more work, so buyer beware.
JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SO HARD TO LOVE RIGHT NOW Updated review after Mid-May updates: FINALLY some good QOL. It's far from being perfect, but I think it's STARTING to head into the right direction. I think if Devs can keep those QOLs coming in HARD and maybe plan on a rehaul, this game might become a success. There's BIG work ahead of them though. Like, massive work... So I hope they're going to keep it up This game is still far from being great, but its made advancements recently where I feel there may be light at the end of the jank tunnel. DEVS; THE RECENT QOL UPDATES ARE GREAT, BUT WE NEED MORE. DON'T STOP PLEASE <3 OH MY GOD FINALLY, THIS IS FIXED. THANK F*CK: Very basic movement mechanics feel horrible. In fact, right+left being locked while running and having to use the camera look to direct myself is just pure dogsh*t archaic control setup. Jumping feels horrible... and they put platforming sections in the game which seems like a horrible idea right now. I can't see how any platforming would feel good here with the current controls and moving mechanics. Just jumping from one big pipe to another is a huge risk of dying (and losing all your loot) but you'll 100% have to jump from one pipe to another The gunplay is not great. The guns feel alright, but you'll run out of bullets so fast, 'specially if you have starter backpacks. Leaning mechanics are useless, it feels like it's bugged, whenever I use it, it feels extremely awkward and doesn't seem like it's doing much at all. So game loop is sort of like Arc Raiders (without the PVP, thank god); you go out, loot what you can and come back along with completing small (mostly) item fetching missions, but you have to figure out a way out of the sewers first. Sometimes you'll die in the sewers just from falling into a stupid hole because of the bad platforming from the levels, or if you run out of bullets and die in combat. The options to swap for the gun of a downed enemy is not a thing here because their weapons are broken once you down them. It's annoying. Combat is so darn hard sometimes in this game that running out of bullets should not be a thing. Enemies with guns used to carry bullets, but I haven't encountered one in a while since a few updates ago. I shouldn't have to overburden myself with ammo on departure + if I die from something that just isn't working right in the game and lose all my stuff, this is just infuriating... Also it seems my corpse disappears completely even though I get a prompt that my corpse has been taken to the checkpoint when I return into the sewers. My corpse is never at the checkpoint... What are checkpoints for anyways if they're only going to be in the sewers? Aren't sewers just the pre-map pathways? There's a lot of times where you'll waste all your ammo in the sewers, before getting to an actual map and this becomes a big waste of time. NPCs + level design are the harder and biggest negative points right now IMO. NPCs are either gonna kill you REALLY fast or they're gonna be big dummies that are just there to make you waste bullets. It's alright that the whole point of the game is to feel helpless from the bigger enemies and having to stealth your way through (as the old trailers of the game used to have as a selling point), but in truth, stealth mechanics are just awful and the level design + NPC navigation really doesn't allow much stealth. You HAVE to fight your way through most of the time, but if you go in alone or with NPC buddies, you're going to die and waste important resources. The game should be playable solo, it's got everything PLACED to be able to play solo-queue, but the broken game mechanics don't allow it and I think this is what's going to ultimately make this game fail Full Release if this isn't fixed. It's a rehaul that needs to be done here. Either really lay off the broken emphasis on stealth and let us embrace chaotic combat with more fair combat, or give us better NPCs for stealth and rehaul maps to make them stealth-friendly. It seems the NPC spawnpoints were randomized much more than before, which is cool, on paper, but if you spawn into the very first map (Ashen Mesa) and a huge mech is RIGHT at the beginning, unavoidable and impossible to sneak past, that's just setting players up for more random failure and more frustration. Also I can't imagine STARTING to play the game right now. The learning curve must be absolute dogsh*t. There needs to be at least one easier map where the new players can learn the game loop a for as long as they need. Maybe put some easy to find ammo in there for them too. I'm positive this game is mostly getting horrible reviews from players not understanding anything coming into the game. I'm SURE all of this can be fixed. The NPCs and level design needs some BIG love and that might be the hardest part for the devs, but... fingers crossed. Despite ALL of this negative commenting, there's really something there. I keep wanting to go back, but it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard to love. It's heartbreaking because the game is REALLY, REALLY beautiful and the world settings are truly awesome, despite all the LOD issues and that's fine btw, LOD can be fixed later, I don't give a crap about looks right now, make the game feel playable PLEAAAASE. You've created a fascinating universe, Fundog, now it's a matter of making it feel more eplorable/enjoyable.
