Addicting gameplay, until you're finished (30hrs for a 4man+ group), but the hunger/thirst mechanics need to be worked on as they are not obvious enough. Exploration mechanics need work and could be done early as you can boundary break into said areas at any point early game (climbing ice+jetpack) and then there is no point ever going there again

You will die from needs often in your own base as there is zero loss from doing so (pick gear back up and carry on for free) and therefore it teaches you to ignore that indicator, while you're out exploring..

Required installing a mod to stop the bad design choice of "scroll chooses weapon mode and left click stuff to decompile" and require CTRL to be held first... some questionable design choices- but all in all, a fun game with up to 10 friends

This game hit early access sprinting, I've purchased many EA games(craftopia, breakwater and countless others to play as a group) that didn't live up to expectations but the one does 👀! The devs are very responsive and love feedback/reports regardless of criticism on their discord. I'm surprised how positive they are!

It does have it's fair share of bugs and issues, but this is expected of early access titles and will definitely be resolved in time- the concept is great, it just requires a bit of smoothing out!

What game launches Early Access these days without issue? Even AAA*** star studios have major issues like login queues, they've already done a great job fixing those launch issues too!

- Multiplayer is already pretty solid too, we can play with up to 7 other friends, everything is synchronised! It can be a bit laggy though as it has to load/unload chunks on teleportation, but it's already gotten better over the last few updates too!

With many different biomes, bosses, areas, multiple towns and A HUGE WORLD to explore already in early access with hundreds of items/combinations for them too, that's a lot in comparison to some games! And that's edited in after my original review!

I think personally they did an amazing job with the sheer amount of cohesive content they already have! A definite must buy if you're a fan of resource management, exploration, shopkeeping and more for up to 8 people who all have their own preferences!

glorified team deathmatch, no point playing spy/subterfuge when all you have to do is kill everyone else

Returned months later into development- Still a piece of low FPS garbage.
Bigger garbage, co-op/multiplayer was literally removed with no mention of it in future, which is why I bought it- to play with friends. False advertised as a co-op/multiplayer game. Not singleplayer.

These issues were blamed on steam. Right....
It's scummy business to remove entire feature sets that you sold on and deny they even existed (from another review):

(another developer wanting you to join his private corner so he can ostracise you for your words? nah)

These things should have been tested prior to release, even for early-access.

I got two of my friends to purchase this game/play- 2.7 and 4.4 hours respectively, mostly spent broken/bugged when co-op was available. Unfit for purpose and then you deleted it, lol.
Shame, I enjoy this genre of games immensely.


EDIT: Comments disabled, too many juniors that can't read, or look at the pretty images-
"the dev" literally said that mp didn't exist after people like myself purchased it, that they did not purchase it for multiplayer (lol) and it wasn't advertised that way (which it was), who would trust an indie dev that acted this way? Even had your discord moderator responding in the comments
- bad damage control, now multiplayer is re-added who cares after we had to wait a year (purchased 9 Dec, 2021) after buying it for that purpose together?? AND ITS STILL BUGGY NOW WHEN 2023 IS NEARLY OVER? Other recent reviews(9 July, 2023) tell me i don't need to launch it to see that😂

had some cracking updates over time, keeping an eye on this one

cracking changes+updates over time

kept me busy for hours, however it's got a lot of "WIP" and developer stuff lying around that makes it hard to see what you are currently able to do. English translation requires a lot of work, but that's secondary when you can easily work out what they are for.

bottom rung gameplay

drinking soda was never so fun

"Use" aka "Eat raw food" 10/10 would die of food poisoning again. Cancelling the action ALSO gives you food poisoning, so enjoy accidentally killing yourself, or using all your antibiotics all the time!

Will recommend this game once this issue is resolved, but until then it's nearly unplayable.
