does anyone ACTUALLY like this game?

[Dokuujin]

I've never seen reviews that completely mismatch a game so wildly. The reviews are like freakishly positive despite very much not deserving praise in any aspect of the game other than visuals (which aren't THAT great.)

Meanwhile all the negative reviews pointing out the genuine flaws with the game are getting flooded with clown emotes and white knights screaming that the person has no idea what they're talking about.

Dude what am I missing? Are these people getting paid to protect the game or something? The UI is awful, the translations make almost everything indecipherable, every single thing in the game is separated into it's own menu with it's own progression. Unlockables in the tech tree aren't even in a realistic order (you need like level 10 to craft wooden buildings... But you have to be level 20 to get access to the crafting recipes for the required materials to build? What?)

Combat is clunky and awkward even by indie survival standards (valheim arguably has better combat, come on man.)

I don't want to ragebait with this and I'm not looking to start a fight but like I'm actually confused. Did I just miss something? Is there some like golden carrot that I just missed before requesting my refund?

God the translations really ruin any chance the game has entirely, though.

Early access isn't an excuse. At the end of the day, Early Access titles need to at least be good enough to invoke "okay this will at least be good eventually"... This does not. 90% of the games I play have been early access, and are still acceptable;e.

People really gotta stop screaming "early access" like it's an excuse. It's... ridiculous and is a huge part of the reason why the industry gets away with the ♥♥♥♥ that it does. Have some standards for what you spend money on.

I played for 70 minutes before refunding, and I mostly agree, combat seems to be walking around in a circle faster than mobs can turn.. "early access" is no excuse, basic enjoyable hades-like combat should be the first thing devs put in the game and build the rest of the game around that- Having 30000 hours of a crafting game falls apart if im just going to spam LMB and run in circles for combat.

I didn't find the crafting tree that bad though, you unlock things when you can, not everything has to be perfectly in order.

I largely refunded because there is no OCE servers, I don't feel like playing on 300ms servers just to play with people that speak English.

Another large complaint I have is just generally I dont like games with "server options" when I am playing SOLO.
Enshrouded does it right and just has ONE setting and that is PLAY, because they actually took the time to make a balanced game and not leave it up to the player to figure out the right settings. Yes I can play "normal" but in the back of my mind ill be like "i can make npcs do 36% less damage to player" the whole time.

I guess at the end of the day I would rather this game as an MMO rather than a Rust-like.

Speaking of which, what is the chances there will be 238 wipes over the next 5 years like Ark and such? Again MMOs are superior games.

Also single player I could just bring up the console and give myself max level and stuff, again that would just gnaw at me playing solo so its just not an option.

IF you have a local official server I do think this game would actually be possible good, if they can make the combat less brain dead?

You judged the combat from 70minutes where you have no upgrades or weapons...? How is the combat in MMOs lvl 1 compared to end-game..? Much different right.... Same for this game where you unlock abilities for all your weapons and when enemies are higher level lol...

Thanks for the critique, your posts (including the comments) are so valuable. We can obviously do better in these areas(especially translations). If you have any suggestions, we'll do our best to note them and change them!

And of course, there are definitely things to like about our game. As I said, I don't think all of our reviews are "freakishly positive".

Bro I am not playing till endgame before I decide if I am refunding or not, the refund period is 2 hours.

Still, I gave it a positive review even though I refunded, and I likely wouldn't of refunded if they had official OCE servers

which button?

Heh. Take a look at Manor Lords.
I don't love the game right now. I love what I see it becoming in the future and I'm betting on the developers to pull it through.
