Do you recomend buying this game?

[Giacomo Volpe]

The discussion and some review seems to tell that this game has reached the "finished" state but still look somewhat as in alpha state. I watched my friend playing the main "campaign" till the end and the ending was somewhat void or at least like some way to say that there will be a sequel, plus the message telling to use to workshop, just seems (to me) like washing their hands of responsibility. But I have to say that I enjoyed Drika's campaing but maybe just because I'm an incurable romantic.

tl;dr at the bottom.

The game itself is more or less finished, new content will be probably only added to the T2 campaign (the different story strands).

My recommendation depends on what you are willing to do with the game honestly.
While the base game might not look like it offers a lot of gameplay (the stories alltogether probably don't take more than 20hrs on Expert/100%), the rabbit hole goes deeper than you might anticipate.

The workshop offers a lot of variety and constant map jams are sure to keep the new stuff going. Aside from just maps, the game offers a very very good scripting interface, so if you are into programming you can make more than just maps. If you're not that much into programming, you can still make some script magic work with some frontend scripting mods like Drika's Hotspot.
Also you can mod characters, attacks, just about anything in the game.
Only a few handful of other games can say that they open up the game core this much.

Plus there's also a lively chat going on on the Wolfire Discord server if you ever have questions about the game, how to mod stuff etc.

Long story short / tl;dr:
If you are eager to spend time beyond just playing and get your hands dirty with some editing and modding, you will never look back to the money you spent even if you paid full price.

If you are still unsure, buy the game on a sale, check it out and if you don't like it, refund it.

In fact there is actually a map jam running right now.

This was very helpfull, but I'm afraid i'll will wait for a more heavy sale, I like the premise of the game, the physic and combat, but it's seems (again for me) more like a test engine than a game.
I played the alphas and I liked them. but still it's feel like an alpha (again[sorry] for me).

I hope they will make a second game, maybe an open world or again using level, but more "full" with content.

Again, what you said was very helpfull, and explained very well the state of the game, you highlighted the strong point of the game and the weak point.

Shortly- this game is weird, but worth playing

I'd wait for a deep sale.

The combat is seriously fun but the game feels like it's still in early access. The levels feel like Gmod maps, the story isn't very deep and has no voice acting and some levels look really nice whereas others look pretty ugly like they aren't done yet.

I'm not trying to bash the game because i did enjoy it but it clearly isn't finished.

If you are able to entertain yourself - buy

[Nagwo]

I'd say... get it ! just for the experience, it's pretty fun and almost addictive, absolutely NOT perfect, maybe frustrating at times ( not common) , and like you said the stories ending at least for the main campaign feel abrupt af , npcs don't get much to say beside giving you the gist of a level's goal at the strange exception of the lava arena chapter . but the game is entertaining as hell and the environments are really pretty , and designs and ideas are interesting what they show you really makes you speculate on things , and as an artist that's a gold mine for fanartworks and the like ^^

Nothing to be sorry for, it basically is. They've been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with it for 10 years, and when they got bored, they used in game functions to glue together a single player campaign and there's that.

Now if you're creative, or rely on Steam Workshop, there's some bonus longevity to be had, but as a standalone, it basically IS a raw engine.
