I love Overgrowth and decided to finally try this game, but the dev hasn't maintained this game at all. I have a 4k monitor and a large part of the screen is cut off on the right. I tried every resolution and nothing helped.

What inspired me to buy this is a review said it does combat better than Overgrowth. There is nothing to this combat in comparison. Although, I couldn't explore all the combat - all I could seem to do was kick. There was no jump kicks. Much worse physics. Yeah, it is an older and less refined game. I didn't think it would be this bad compared to Overgrowth, which is still the best fighting game I ever played.

I can't in good faith recommend this game after playing Overgrowth. With Overgrowth being very repayable and 10x better, there isn't much point.

I tried the first Reciever game and didn't care for it. Overgrowth is just so much better than his other games. Makes me wonder why he made Reciever 2 and not Overgrowth 2 or something similar on that engine. I think he would have foudn success if he pressed on. Overgrowth is the only game I would call a project of passion and it makes no sense that that game was not a big hit.

I will grant that this game is from 2005 and practically forgotten about by Wolfire, but the game keeps crashing at the raider patrol level, I have asked everywhere possible and have found no results, did every possible fix I could think of, nothing works. You're better off downloading this game from https://osslugaru.gitlab.io

Neat game, but noticeably unfinished. I decided against playing much longer, but someone with more patience could certainly have some fun with it.

This developer only puts out half baked unfinished games that are more or less just engine demonstration tools and nothing more.

They rely heavily on user generated content and have never finished developing Lugaru or Overgrowth.

I haven't played this game for 8 years, and that is for a very good reason.

This game is bad.

Like, really, really bad.

My younger brother loves it, and I weep for him.

I would never recommend this game to anyone. Even towards my enemies.

Please avoid this game.

Seems fun but I can't get past the fourth or fifth level without the game crashing and erasing all my progress :(

not a bad game but it sure looks like a very outdated old school game but it came out in 2005...
you're furry in the most generic and poor excuse of a village ever, just a bunch of blocks and a super generic rock formation. theres no excuse for this when the original WOW and im looking up images, was more lively with more buildings and npc's. this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ empty. and theres still a massive map. shortly after the game starts, once in a while the screen flashes red as if you died but instead either A it triggers the next thing or it kicks you out to the menu.. wtf? and it may freeze... the combat is garbage and unfair due to being extremely limited on keyboard plus enemies easily and ultimately overwhelm you by ignoring any attacks you throw at them and beat you up. you jump around too much and too far, weapons are pretty useless, countering wasnt clear, mostly because button combos are all over the keyboard. lugaru is heavily lacking. whats the plot? well on google it says wolves are attacking and its wrong as always because traitorous
bunnies are attack instead
and a tiny invisible map. wtf

While the combat is interesting and fun, despite its difficulty, I just cannot recommend this game, and that's because of technical issues.
I didn't find any solutions, which would let me run the game at my native resolution (1920x1080), even by editing the config file. This could have been bearable, but the game seems to actually render the whole screen, but just shows the part of the screen that the resolution enables, meaning you can't see the text and HUD.
If you wish to play this game, then just buy Overgrowth, as it contains the story and levels of this game, though the mechanics are slightly different, it's very similar and probably better than being frustrated with the difficulties. Or maybe you can fix the resolution problem yourself, since the game is open source, as is its sequel Overgrowth.

It feels like a tech demo for Overgrowth. Its full of empty maps and cubes placed around. Full of combat that feels like it could be special or that its on to something, but isn't quite there yet and ridiculously annoying. Buy Overgrowth instead. Maybe... Even Overgrowth is a monster to talk about in itself, just don't buy this game. Maybe consider Overgrowth, it even remasters Lugaru's story in it. So this game is now rendered pointless. For more on Overgrowth check out my review.

0/10 - The game is pointless to get now. Though I will say the game would probably get a 4/10 otherwise.

Combat is too simple, at first it looks cool but it isn't and it is ruined by cheap jump legs kick. Available resolutions are weird, game speed is too fast. The game had potential but lost it unfortunately. Overgrowth sucks too.
