Bought the game to support the guys who made Enderal and Nehrim possible, great fan of their work!

Got a fun game in an early, but well playable state with great potential on top!
Great fresh game concept I haven´t seen before.
Makes me wanna see more of this!

Will continue to play and follow the journey.

nice concept, similar to "the flame in the flood", but still buggy and clunky UI, could use some more tool tips or display overlay, so you'll know what you pick up or whom you're fighting. but even without those or a tutorial you'll figure it out pretty fast. it's clearly meant to be played with a controller, but that does not work right now. also the lighting is terrible and definitively should be improved...

there's nothing fancy so far, clearly a lot of content missing, the landscape/game gets repetitive and after 2 more hours into the game and you'll get the feeling you've seen it all.

so what's the difference to "the flame in the flood"? well, not much actually...
here you manage a group whereas in TFITF you're on your own with your dog.
the graphics are better, of course, as this one is brand new.
the setting is medieval vs. post apocalyptic.
the music... well, fitting but clearly lacking
no changes in biomes so far
right now gameplay get's repetitive sooner
here you actually can raft upstream
TFITF has an ending while this one feels more or less like an endless loop
a lot of things clearly have no use in here (so far)
you can "free roam" vs. docking based instances
fighting is a much bigger part here

which one is better, you ask? certainly this is a matter of personal preference.
for me it clearly is TFITF as i love it until today although it brings nothing new, but i'm anxious to see what the devs have in store for this one.

should you get it?
only if this is your cup of tea and you want to support the devs, otherwise wait until there is more to it as of right now

I like the SureAI developers. Enderal was amazing(check it out if you have Skyrim, it is free).

Going to wait for the game to get some updates but felt like supporting by buying the game.

I played the demo for several hours and very much enjoyed it over a stack of other demo games I tried last month. So now I happily own a copy of the Early Access game, and already have several hours invested. I've already contacted several friends to recommend it to them, something I can't remember doing before with an early access game.

I've no previous knowledge of the developers, so I was able to approach this with no preconceptions. (I've since learned of the respect others have for the development team's previous works.)

I'm impressed with how playable both the demo was and the early early access game is, how nice it looks, and especially how interactive with the players the development team has been. I've seen rapid responses to requested functionality and bugs, and the development team has shown a willingness to consider player suggestions.

At this writing, the early access has only been running for 3 days, so it is to be expected there's much more to add or polish, but we've already been given much, including the ability to leave the raft to explore, fight, and resource gather on land. I feel like I'm playing a mostly completed game, but then I look at the roadmap the development team maintains on the starting menu, and I see a great many good things in the works that will greatly expand on this current setup. Several have already been implemented. I'm looking forward to a long cruise.

Overall impression: NICE
Presentation: CRISP
Gameplay: MEATY

Beautiful graphics and scenery. The raft controls are very good and have a natural feel. Early days in the features, but it has the potential to be a really good game.

I enjoyed leasurely maneuvering my raft along the river through a pretty landscape with nice looking towns where you can trade for goods and get new crew members. You need to go on land to forage for crafting supplies and explore ancient ruins. There are enemies on the river and on land, but fighting is done mostly automatically and isn't overly hard, though things get increasingly tough the futher down the river you travel. The challenge right now is to find and craft good enough gear for your crew to be able to survive. Also you need to upgrade the raft so it holds more crew, and that is very expensive.
Game controls are easy to learn.
Developers are very responsive to the community and bugs get fixed within a day of reporting them.
I'm looking forward to further development of the game as indicated by the road map. There will be more of a story and more challenges eventually.

Wonderful game . Devs responsive to the playerbase. That's a first. Just buy it!!

Despite being Early Access, it's very well made.
- Wind mechanics affect your raft
- Detail of the world is beautifully made
- Each new game you play you get a different river map
- Combat is fun, between archery, melee & magic, you need to think strategic when facing enemies
- Music is relaxing

Overall, very good for an Early Access, not something I would play loads of, but I like it nonetheless & would recommend.

Great Game,
I love the Idea and the way SureAi developed it. I mean its still Early Access but still great work by everyone who toke part in the programming. I will keep on playing it. Only one thing I would love to see would be a real Tutorial... Keep on working as hard as you already are and this game will be a big Hit. ;)
10/10 would recommend
