Is the game THAT dead?

[Mandula]

I wanted to pick up this game as I had many hours spent with it i-browser and as long as Im using Steam as my main gaming software, it would be great to own it. But looking at the currently playing numbers and charts, this game seems completely dead. Is it true? It should be more advertised and stuff. http://steamcharts.com/app/326460

Yes. It's almost dead. There are some players, but most of them already have a high level.
I actually regret buying this game, but I can't refund it

[Mandula]

Aww, sad to hear. Maybe the devs should consider lowering the price?

[Geralt]

Yeah it's dead. I see three or four online and I just play the single player.

The game is only good for friends. And if you've the same level. It's great.

A game has to actually live before it dies....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BURN

balance issues are the real problem

[Bellisarrius]

the issue is no one wants to play any mode other then dm..and for those at the bottom of the hill there is no incentive to play deathmatch against opponents that are 10+ levels or more higher then them...most offten the people i see on are 40 levels higher then myself ...why would i play a dm game vrs someone that can 1-2 shot me? so i can make 6 exp and he gets what 5x that amount? and the low levels dont even realize or maybe just dont care there is a mode out there for them to gather good exp vrs any level

The community is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up pretty bad, that's the main issue of why the game is dead. Update frequency is extremely slow for a beta game as well with very little content in each of them.

Feel free to check my review of the game out for more in-depth description regarding its community.

[wajdaz]

i guess everyone with ssl game should become friends and start fishing ppl who come online and beg them to play ssl.. lol

[Smitty PG13]

Everyone in ssl should be demanding a refund that's about all we should be doing at this point.

Dev decided: why not one more huge bed-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ early access game to really put a nail in the coffin of this routine of game developer's getting easy money for half-assed attempts at doing anything involving the game they sharted out their ass.

When the dev realized they need to put in serious work to get more sales, this of course due to the negative feedback already recieved by the boatloads so people are staying away like the plague, they decide meh time to put effort into a more lucrative product.

My guess: that the dev decided to spend more time developing that garbage flash game that has a plethora of shameless microtransactions/figure out how to swindle more people out of money by going across more platforms.

People are too tired of getting burned like this on early access.

Great game. All those complaining about being dead. Just invite your friends to play. Then you won't have to play alone. That's what I did and they all like this game. Have fun and keep shellshocking

Well... used a -66% coupon so I bought it, I guess it was worth it for 2,38€ of 6,99€ at this state.

Now that I bought it: I really like this game. Its much more polished than the flash / Facebook versions of SSL in-browser. If kChamp, you are reading this, and though I know it's easy to talk without knowing whats really going on, please rescue this game. Just to make sure, I convinced my friend to buy this game as we both played it together back then, in the flash-era. I'm also streaming the game on my twitch channel, maybe someone wants to check out the great PC version of the game. We need more players to this awesome game, somehow.
Just my thoughts.
