Is it currently worth it as it is?

I see that it has a lot of potential, I would like to buy it.. but I see a lot of people complaining about many bugs.. maybe get it on offer? will there be any soon? how about..

Thanks to anyone who will dedicate a few minutes to my discussion

I think it was worth what I paid for it. To put it into context, at full price it's about 90 minutes pay at minimum wage here. A very small amount.

There are plenty of bugs. It's an alpha. An early alpha at that (v0.1.3). You might lose random items. You might lose your entire savegame. At any time.

Or you might not. I've played 25 hours and not encountered any bugs apart from jankiness regarding base building. For example, this evening I demolished some scrap metal foundations and replaced them with reinforced metal foundations. The game would only allow me to place the new pieces if I jumped between demolishing the old ones and placing the new ones. Some roof pieces wouldn't go on until I left the game and reloaded a couple of times.

But it's Steam EA. You're paying to take part in an informal testing program with no guarantees of anything. It's a gamble. Sunkenlands is reliable and well featured for an early alpha.

Ok guys thanks it's always a pleasure to exchange some opinions and hear your opinions :) I think it will be my next purchase.

ps: the world map is always the same right? or random?

ok thanks!

As someone who is also on the fence of buying, I have a question. Has there been a root cause into the save issues? Why is it only affecting some and not others?

I really want to buy but at the same time don't want to play all night to have all my progression lost.

I only have 126 hours in, I believe it's mostly MP players that have the most issues.
I have seen a few bugs, but not deal breakers . Just remember , if you want a Helicopter, build a land base as they have an issue to be lost in the ocean when restarting your game and the dev's are working on it.

We got 20 hours from it as a 3 man group. Worth it imo, solid foundation, but currently nothing to do for us but wait for more content.

I'm 30 hours into a save and having a blast. No crashes yet and some things are janky for sure but it's overall good.

I personally find it pretty fun. Played about 30 hours and I had fun with it! The only issue I had was build jankiness(especially with stairs) and the enemies going through the ground but, still able to shoot you(only happened while I was getting raided).

Other than that, the gameplay was pretty smooth, no fps issues, gameplay difficulty could use a little balance but it's not too bad(enemies not being able to detect you when attacking them regardless of where you attack them I have had instances where I would be standing right in front of an enemy and they don't even notice me LOL or shoot my gun and miss and the enemy doesn't even react to the sound, enemy damage is a bit much with guns and, healing in this game is just bad...). It's early access(and I mean EARLY) so I'm not expecting a fully polished game.

The only bug that I experienced was the enemy glitching underground but, still able to shoot me and I forgot this one, my first death in game was because I got stuck on some stairs underwater and couldn't move so I drowned... Those are the only two bugs I experienced. Multiplayer might be different. I have watched people stream the game and frame rate was an issue, a lot of jittery movement, guns shooting more than once without you imputing any buttons, and other bugs that people mentioned in this forum(or in their discord). I might avoid multiplayer for now if you don't want the possibility of having to deal with that.
