SIngle player?

Dumbass developer, why do you have this game listed as only single player when it's not.

[tyl0413]

Yeah for the longest time I thought it was a sp game, disappointed when I found out its not.

[Spirit_Miku]

its single player in the fact there is no squads or team drops its all solo single player drops thats what give it the single player tag like a few other games, but you would know this if you actually looked it up instead of complaining about something useless

You have to go out of your way to co-op with people. If you find people on the map, you can open the communication menu and ask for an alliance/truce. You get additional rewards for playing co-op, but you don't HAVE to play co-op.

I've done all of my runs solo so far in the CBT. I've also only encountered a PKer, but it was in the first 30 minutes of the CBT, so he wasn't really a threat, lol. Honestly? I very rarely encounter people (but I do often hear people shooting at enemies or mining).

I've just played the beta, its an extraction shooter. Nothing more nothing less, you played one, you played them all, gameplay is extremely clunky and the PC port is horrible with non functional only graphics option being *Prefer Performance/Graphics* Never goes about 30 FPS constant drops to ~15.
Huge disappointment..

Yeah, no... If your PC is running this game at 30fps or lower than that, you must be trying to run it on a Google Chromebook or something, lol. The requirements aren't even close to being high, even for a mid-tier PC.

Admittedly though, there is a slight stutter when you first encounter artifacts and stuff because the game doesn't come with a compiler for the shaders, weirdly enough. So yeah, just expect to encounter a slight delay whenever you see new stuff, then it's fine afterwards because it stores it in the cache.

Also, the whole "you played one, you played them all" doesn't exactly work here because there's not another mecha extraction shooter game on the market at the moment, lol. Some people may not like extraction shooters, but may like mechs, so they'll give this a try. Anyway, PC port runs fine, as I said before. Only stuttering I've encountered so far has been from graphics loading in, but that's expected since they didn't include a compiler (hope the full game does though).

All the players I have met were chill, we just waved at each other and did our things, also helped some player who had like around 10% of durability and was ganged up by enders.
Died only three times, one of memory leak (the game needs some more optimization) once from the parasite enders in cradle coffins and once from some weird ultra worms that have flashy underbelly and those were camping for me near some ultra shiny AO crystal packet.

Correct tag would be Multiplayer not Single Player. Single Player implies you can play without anyone else. The dev messed up, no need to white knight for them. They just made a mistake and need to correct it.

Time to vote with your wallet, ladies and gentleman!

Except as pointed out, there is no co-op mode, you will be playing on your own for the most part, you just share the area with other people who can either kill you or ignore you

Not the developers fault you incorrectly assume single player means you get everything to yourself lol

[TL]

I'm confused by the game tags that include Multiplayer, PVE, and PVP. However, Steam lists the game as a Single player game.

[DEVILDICE]

Wait...so this is an online extraction shooter? I had this on my wishlist since day 1, thinking it was a singleplayer game, like it said on the store page. How unfortunate =(

[FieserMoep]

People really doing some mental gymnastics trying to validate a SP tag for a game that requires you to play with multiple other players. Like a multi player.

A game does not need to be coop to be an MP game. That is the reason why multiplayer and coop are separate tags.

[Fate]

Was interested after watching the anime, but extraction shooters aren't my cup of tea so guess it's a pass for me.

Honestly not sure why they went with extraction shooter genre, the setting absolutely doesn't seem to fit it in my opinion. Feels like they are just chasing a trend, which they will most likely fail at like so many other who have tried to dethrone Tarkov. Not that i think Tarkov is that interesting either, but again, extraction shooters ain't my cup of tea.

From watching the anime, I was kinda hoping for RPG, or at least shooter with RPG mechanics.

[WhiteKnight]

I was excited as well. Don't care about online games. The though of mech single-player excited me. gaah.

[Zargnabamunk]

Looked interesting, but the PVP part definitely don't talk to me... Too bad.
