Any good?

[Lancelot]

I need honest reviews guys. Some say bad, some say terrible, some say good, some say best so far but I can not be sure to buy the game with so many conflicting reviews. Is it in a good state to play? Is it like a new world (mmorpg) style game? Please give me some idea about it. Thanks all.

You can hire or subdue NPCs and use them as combat or crafting thralls similar to Conan Exiles.

The skill and combat system is similar to Mount & Blade; the more you perform a certain activity (e.g. shooting your bow, mining / logging etc.) the better you get at that skill and you can invest points to accelerate the rate at which you earn skill progress.

There is directional combat like in Mount & Blade, Chivalry or Mordhau; for me it feels a bit slower and not as fluid as in those games.

You can tame and breed horses as far as I understand; I cannot comment on endgame activities yet as I am just getting started in my new base in the iron-territory :)

Don't bother unless you have a large guild as it is an MMO. Besides that the combat is awful slow and clunky and very unbalanced. I played with a small group but have given up at lvl 30 the combat is not fun.

I played a decent amount after this game was removed from Steam and sold on their own site, getting no updates. After they region-locked the game and I couldn't play without VPN, I just waited til it came back on Steam, just to see almost nothing has changed. The game still looks mediocre, with very clunky gameplay and a lazy character creator. The only way imo that you'll get decent mileage with this game is with a large group of people, otherwise it's just not as good as the current competition in the genre. It has potential, but the devs are not really capitalizing on it, unfortunately.

I have 400 - 500 hours in game so far, and loving it, the combat is janky for sure, but for me personally i think it is great.

It's a learn to play situation. Learn to predict and block or dodge...It's "slow" enough.

Remember, that "combat style" is also for your enemies(even NPC) / other players else you will die in seconds if there are flashy action/twitch gameplay. Game is not an arena battle where you respawn almost instantly fully geared in a small area and start round X.

I'm very picky these days. Infact I've always been picky when it comes to gaming.
If something doesn't grab me within the first few hours I'm gone.
I've got fairly broad library of titles including more than a few survival crafting games but there's only one or two I'd even consider installing again..
This was one of them. I played in 2021 and pur it down after 150 hours. Just picked it back up and it's drawing me back in with the same levels of entertainment.
I didn't get that many hours out of 99% of my library .
Gotta say something for this one. For some people anyway.
Ps there is some niggling issues on first play incl character movement but I can't remember it being much of an issue after the first couple hours first time around and it doesn't particularly bother me now(only a few hours back into it).
Be different if others were buzzing about...but they're not. Same as me.

You start out as a literally half-naked pleb and grow in power, even movement speed. You literally get stronger as you accumulate EXP by doing stuff and then unlocking skills, rise in nobility(stat boost) via reputation/honor and has access to higher tier equipment.

Strange for people to pay for a survival game and somehow expect otherwise... Like instant able to do everything well or have everything on auto like managing your materials. You'll end up just playing an action rpg exploration game where survival is non-existent or just for "show" instead of real function like Enshrouded...

Apart from the game seeing to have been bot translated, the private server settings menu being a cryptic mess, the lack of any historical content (locations, cities, pcs), it's not terrible... just generic.

There's a potentially good game to be had, if they can get functional modding tools released as well as a proper translation and working tool tips for the server settings menu.

The game is great if you're a fan of Mount and blade combat and a more "realistic" approach. The depth and Immersion in this game is no joke imo. Hands down my favourite survival game and I own them all, pretty much.
