A Warning to everyone thinking about buying this game!
Hopefully you're looking here for info about if it's a good idea to buy this game.

I don't know anything about the developers of this game, but you should be very careful about buying any game where the publisher is Focus Home Interactive.

They are a very bad publisher who have a record of having extremely buggy and broken games which they never get around to fixing. They just keep releasing broken games without the Early Access tag and never give refunds no matter how broken the games are. This company doesn't care about their players at all, they don't care about making good games, they don't care about their reputation, they are scammers who will sell any kind of broken game to you.

Many of the games they make always have great graphics, amazing trailers but the game mechanics are poor and it's most of the time very buggy or unplayable. This is very strong characteristics of a scammer.

Game works fine.

For people, who read the warning in OP - this game (as well as Vampyr) are fine. Finished both myself without experiencing any major bugs.

What??? The game runs fine and it's very good! What's the purpose in writing this???

I just bought the game yesterday and have been playing it non-stop.

Sounds like the OP just bought Necromunda.

So OP is totally wrong about this game. Whatever feelings about Focus, or indeed other developers, this game is in a really healthy state from last I played.

Yeah this game is in really good shape. I mean I could tell after reading reviews & and seeing it on Youtube from channels I trust. In general if it has a positive review on steam then the developer is reliable, as steam reviews are quick to go south if developers do shady things. Either that or, a game might have positive reviews but majority of them will mention that the game is no longer supported.

I love this game but no, there's a lot of well known and non fixed bug,
I spend my last run with a bug that divided my Soulslingers damage by two,
AND my savefile won't load anymore.

Yeah for me the save data issue should be the most pressing. They really need to kill this bug and quick. I have over 60 hours in game and still have yet to finish due to save wiping or refusing to load at times. Forcing multiple restarts. Started save backups after every session now.

OP is in my opinion partly wrong. For me they are one of the few willing to take a chance on new IPs.

Hm... can`t quite decide yet got the game for free and i like the art but well... it`s not even EA is it?
Zebedee Sep 13, 2020 @ 2:36pm 
Hmm. 60 hours played and only issue I ran into was the negative initiative.
Britannic Sep 13, 2020 @ 2:41pm 
Like most of the game bugs there not experienced across the board making them harder to pin down.
Zebedee Sep 13, 2020 @ 2:44pm 
For sure on stuff like save game bugs, that's chronic if you get it on something which ironman modes as default. I contrast this to another recent release though, which no doubt drove the OP to post, and it's near universal in seeing the same thing. Hope they sort out the save game issue for you though, that really sucks.
Britannic Sep 13, 2020 @ 3:31pm 
It's all part of gaming sadly. Yeah I would image OP is talking about necromunda.

Focus Home Interactive is a publisher, not a developer. As such they are not responsible for fixing bugs. The developer is - in this case "Lightbulb Crew". Refunds on Steam are handled by Valve Corporation, not Focus Home Interactive.

You're not telling us anything about the actual game. Instead, all of this reads like a personal vendetta you're trying to push here. Thankfully, others in this thread clarified the game's condition. So, I'll just go ahead and buy the game now ... Thanks!
