People who say Enshrouded isn't a survival game, are not confused. Just angry that the game isn't what they imagined. When they can read, they know it's an survival game.
there is just people who believe that merely beeing able to die to anything makes a game survival.
basically the same people who claim terraria is a survival game claim it for this one.
its just clueless people.
in its current state enshrouded is a 3rd person adventure game with fancy mostly pointless building mechanics.
I also would love to know this. Because google, wiki and steam, all check the marks that this IS in fact a Game with survival elements, therefore the tag survival game.
to make it simple :
a survival mechanic is a NEED. something you CANNOT ignore no matter what that happens regardless of where you are. outside in the wilderness or inside your base beeing afk.
like need to drink or eat otherwise you die.
that is the simplest form.
another is protection from cold during nights or heat during day etc.
a hostile enviroment/world that will try to kill you no matter where you currently are.
these are survival mechanics.
they can be simple or more difficult to manage but its essentially a mechanic of a game that you must take care off otherwise you will die sooner or later.
in enshrouded you can simply stand on top of a spire. your base. the starting vault or on a floating plattform and you can stand there forever. youll never die. youre never in any danger. thus it has no actual survival mechanics currently.
It's not the survival i imagine in my head. But it's still a survival.
goiung on this there is no TRUE survivial game out here at all. because things like your talking about ended decades ago when you only had a limited amount of lives , super mario brothers , space invaders , Pac Man...the list can go on for awhile.
also going by what you say games like Conan and Ark which are well known and classified "survival"games are nthye exact same way...you come back everytime with your progress and HAVE to eat and protect yourself from the elements...but you dont start over if you die. thats about the stupidest thing ive ever heard of...THERE IS NO REAL SURVIVAL GAME OUT THERE unless you set the game up with provided ingame options..like Bethesda did with Skyrim. hardly anybody will pick up a game that requires you to start over at the beginning of the game just because YOU DIE. there are some out there but very very few.
aka a game that has base building, and food and water etc
but still isnt survival,
cause NON of those things are a requirement for your character to be
they just add benefits, if you do not use any of them the only drawback you get is you dont have them
you will not starve or die of thrist or freeze to death at night if your not in a shelter or near a heat source or any of the other factors that are survival mechanics
*edit*
just to add this is not me WANTING more survival mechanics i am totally fine with the current thing, but the fact is enshrouded is not a survival game
no auto aiming
to be "survival" it has not to be rock hard, but a certain amount of challenge should be given. The above doesn't belong to a survival game if it makes levelling and fighting a joke.
Play Subsistence if you want to see a survival game, everything is trying to kill you all of the time. In Enshrouded, you can sit around comfy as can be in your base and nothing will kill you, you don't even have to eat or drink to stay alive, you can craft stuff or even sleep all day, or just do nothing at all.
1. Character should die if it does not eat.
2. Character should die if it does not sleep.
3. Character should die by illness.
4. Character should die by getting attacked while sleep.
There are many other KEY features that should be included to make it a real Survival.
Otherwise it is only an adventure game.
Honestly this is a bad take, its not really a survival game at all.
Survival implies that there is a danger of needing to survive or you die, Enshrouded does not have any of those mechanics. If i just stand some where, i wont die. There is no exposure mechanic, no starvation mechanic, hydration, sickness, need for shelter, anything.
Enshourded is a survival game in the same way BOTW is. They are not.
There is nothing you are surviving against.
So its a very fair criticism to say this is not a survival game, having building and crafting elements does not make it a survival game.
