Should I buy or not?

I want to buy this but so many red flags. But overal seems the game need much more time to cook.

If you're on the fence, give it more time.

Its on sale right now. Its worth the 22 or 23 bucks.

[Mervin]

If I was you I guess I wouldn't buy it given it "needs much more time to cook" and there are "so many Red flags". Of course I am not you, I did buy it and I am continuing to play it.

My current issue is that the game (or more like how it's portrayed) can't really decide if it's a sandbox or a linear experience. When you first play it it feels liek a nice sandbox ... but around the 15-17th day when the bear comes and later the winter you realize that it's not exactly a sandbox.

And if you eff up, you our out of luck, because like other survival games that released recently, this game doesn't have a permanent / meta progression across worlds, so your character is totally bound to your world save. So if you start again, you start again with 0 progress. Meaning if the bear nuked you, or you died to the winter and you want to start again, that's 5-10+ hours out the window, your skills, everything is gone.

So for me the game really doesn't respect your spent time on it.

This also makes playing with friends annoying af, because if you join their world, you don't have any skills nor anything, same if they join yours ... i can't see why making characters permanent like other contemporary games would be so bad.

Aska is much more difficult than Bellwright. Bellwright is like a nice walk in the park compared to Aska. Barely made it out of first winter alive.

What's the winter in BW, a productivity debuff? lol

Seems like Aska is the way to go if you're looking for a more challenging survival experience.

This game is an Asset Store version of Valheim. I only got it because I've already owned other games like this. Yeah, it's bad but there is nothing else to play.

it seems more you only bought it to run around the forum and trolling. You used a lot of time for you mad feelings. Go further and spend your time better.
And no its not even similar to valheim, beside the viking setting.

I'm not sure why are you here. You just had 8 posts in 20 min just bushing the game.
Can't you just refund it ?

No, I'm not refunding this thing. I feel like there's hope, ya know. If only a few things can change before full release.

You are a perfect example of a moron. You know society would actually benefit from culling people like you off the internet.

[edit] But yeah, it feels like a really badly put together Valheim. Go for it if you have nothing else to do.

It's an early access survival game.., I mean that should be enough for you to decide. Is it going to have as much content as other EA survival games that have been out for years? No, but it's still worth the cost if you like these types of games and already exhausted all the other ones that have more content. If your on the fence you can always wait for future updates.

-The game itself does look very similar to Valheim but many aspects of it are closer to colony survival simulators like Medieval Dynasty. Some of my biggest complaints about other colony survival games is there isn't much pressure or danger, at least this game has potential in that sense.

No, you should not. There are elements of Aska which are done very well but it seems pretty clear that there isn't any real direction for the game. I'm not convinced that this isn't just a "make more than 2 hours of content so they can't refund" scam. I mean what's there has promise, but what's there is 1/10th of a game if that. The entirety of the game right now could have been the demo.

As it is, there are some serious game halting issues as well. Most notably the villagers can do one thing and one thing only. And if at any point there is a break in the supply chain (crafter stops crafting due to lack of rope) it can break everything. With 2 farmers, 2 gatherers, a fisher, cook, stones, 2 loggers and crafter my villagers still ended up starving to death. Everything was entirely food focused, this was all post bear attack too. The supply chain just kept breaking despite having 6-8 of each type of flag spread throughout the map for harvesting points, and every time it breaks the worker in question just stops working and follows you around waving at you like an idiot. Until workers can default to building or gathering or can be assigned multiple jobs I'm not sure Aska is feasible mid game.

The balance is WAY off right now to the point where its stupid hard as a single player game. However if you are playing with friends then this game has great potential. I think the biggest thing that is missing from the game right now are game play settings. There are NO gameplay settings at all. can't tweak the game in any way.
