Supervive, also known as Project Loki, is a debut game developed by Theorycraft Games, a company composed of former employees of many gaming giants, such as Riot, Blizzard, and EA. Whether in terms of gameplay or its current situation, it is hard not to be reminiscent of Battlerite Royale. In less than half a year of operation, Supervive suffered a significant loss of players due to poor balance, difficulty retaining and attracting players, a core that is easy to get started but hard to master, and a matching design that is highly unfriendly to solo queue players. Less than two months after it was launched in November last year, the daily average online peak dropped from 30,000 to 2,000, for now, the daily average peak is only about 1,000, the matches are also full of bots. Supervive, a game with great potential, is clearly in a critical condition. Regrettably, everything may be too late.


Supervive uses Battle Royale as the core gameplay, with hero shooting, MOBA, and other elements as enhancements to the combat. Diverse mechanisms, such as crepps. Vision, terrain, equipment, props, day, and night add many variables, operations, and strategic space to the confrontations. More than 20 characters in the game each have their strengths. There are highly flexible melee who are good at charging, firepower pillars for fixed-point output at medium and long distances, and team healers, tanks, and other common positions in a similar genre. Despite this, the unique weapons and skills give each of them different and deep gameplay.

Within a single round, players often need to upgrade their equipment, learn skills, and obtain items by grinding creatures. Three equipment sets that may be substituted before the match can not only affect the combat style in the game to a certain extent, but can also be upgraded in one of the three styles are in the store or through power shards. The highly flexible gliding allows players to shuttle across unconnected terrains. High mobility, long TTK, team combat, props interaction, customized upgrades, and other elements cooperatively make the battles in Supervive quite refreshing. In the early stages of the match, squad members can be resurrected. Even if they fail, players can quickly engage in the next battle, and the overall sense of frustration is relatively low.


I absolutely enjoyed the combat of Supervive, but the shortcomings of it are too numerous to ignore. Judging from today's perspective, the UI and graphics of Supervive are indeed a bit cheap, and the modeling and scene details in the actual match are also very average. The poor graphic quality can easily discourage some players who are on the sidelines. For many players, it is incredibly difficult to step out of their comfort zone. To bring freshness and expand the audience as much as possible, the answer of Supervive is to incorporate as many mechanisms as possible. Though this mode makes the game more fun, it also makes the operations required by players quite a lot. In addition, the game tutorial is average, and it may be difficult for new players to get to the point. The core that is easy to start but difficult to master makes it even harder to attract new players for Supervive with an ever-shrinking player base.

The publicity and promotion of Supervive have been sharply reduced since its release. The game also lacks rewards that can bring positive feedback to players after multiple matches. The skins and passes in the game are also unattractive, as a multiplayer online game, the rapid loss of players and too many bots in the match have become the vital pain points as well. In addition, the balance between characters and modes in Supervive has always been controversial. The high operation limit of the game makes it not very friendly to casual players. The different weapons and skills for each character further increase the players' learning cost and time investment.


Battlerite: Royale has a lot in common with Supervive. As the first attempt to combine MOBA, battle royale, and hero shooter, the former has already died without a burial place, and Supervive may be about to follow the same old path in the future. It is a surprise that the developer had the mentality of making the game a hit when it started promoting it, but the fact that the game was neither released on consoles nor on any online gaming platform other than Steam is puzzling.

On May 20, the Simplified Chinese server of Supervive opened for public beta reservations. Though the number of reservations for the Simplified Chinese Server game has always been highly inflated, it still reached 35,000 less than a day. Even this may bring a certain number of players to the global server of Supervive in the short term, based on prior experience, the Simplified Chinese server of Supervive may be completely independent from the international server. By dividing China, the group with the largest number of players, the international server of Supervive, will only enter a more severe situation in the future. The remaining Chinese players may be taken away, and the official operation focus may further shift towards the Simplified Chinese server. From this perspective, Supervive's international server is in danger.

I’ve been having a good time with Subervived and I’ll definitely hop back in every now and then when new updates drop. It’s in a good spot right now—not amazing, but it has a lot of potential. I’m sticking with it and will keep giving my honest feedback as it develops. I really like how the equipment progression tree is shaping up, especially with the recent changes. It’s a nice improvement!

Trash game, worst balance. Hope this studio close soon. Thankyou
