Monster Outbreak

So, the game has a lot of charm, but ultimately I feel it is immediately overshadowed by how clunky and tedious everything is in the game. No ability to change keybindings has also always been a head-scratcher for me, but I'm not a game dev, so I don't know how difficult that may be to implement. It's definitely needed, as the base controls are awful for both controller and keyboard, (this is admittedly subjective though.) [b] Latest updates have added keybindings to help with the clunky nature of the UI and navigating menus.[/b] [b] Tedious stuff that I found myself already annoyed by, before the end of the first stage: [/b] You can only cook one healing item at a time. Does it really make a difference if I heal to full health in one cooking cycle vs. four if I'm in the completely safe building stage? Why? You can only repair things one thing a time, and you have to hold the button down, then confirm the prompt and resources needed to repair. This [b]super[/b] sucks, and immedia...

Just couldn’t get into it. The controls are just too clunky.

Pros A good small base defence game easily going to be better with friends. Cons so far The UI feels rough. Feels unfinished or unpolished. Can sword thrust in many directions but cant shoot a bow in aiming direction? BAD....

Super close call. The mixed reviews are pretty accurate. All the bad: First off, you can't save in the game, and the games are super long, so I left my computer running for about 4 days straight. I haven't played for 120+ hours; I've probably played around 10, but my computer has been running it for that long. I understand why they didn't implement a save feature—it's difficult. As a programmer, I get it. It's quite buggy. Enemies get stuck, and their attack range can sometimes extend halfway across the map. This happens maybe five times in a long playthrough, requiring you to dive-bomb them. On the second map, a UI popup appears around level 20 and can't be dismissed. The towers sometimes just cost wood, which is nice but clearly a bug. I stuck with the first map to avoid this. Additionally, the hitboxes of grass and flowers were glitchy, which was frustrating. There are some goofy choices. The grinding aspect to unlock towers is excessive. You have tons of resources that can't b...

Another game spoiled by rogue-lite BS. You can mine, cut trees, cut grass, craft materials, etc. yet as soon as you leave a map and go to another one, you lose all your materials and have to start from scratch. This is hella stupid. The game could maybe have been enjoyable if you didn't have this rogue-lite BS but it just completely spoils the game and removes any fun that you possibly could have had. The fact that you have to switch between 3 different tools to harvest the different materials is also just hella irritating and it's even worse considering that there's a delay between switching so if you switch mid-battle then you're gonna get hit. You also can't move, while you have your building menu open, so it's supposed to be a game where you build traps to help you fight the waves of enemies, yet as soon as you open your trap menu, you get hit, because you're standing still... and you have a tiny, tiny amount of hp, so you can easily die in 3hits. The game also doesn't have resolut...

It's alright. The controls are definitely janky, but the core gameplay is decent. I don't really care for the default look of the character sprite, but you can change it (to a limited but okay selection of others), and that's just personal taste anyway.

Nice art! First thing I bought was the bunny outfit.

My omniscient brain tells me the game is good.

Great game to play with friends! Really enjoyed it!

[b]The game felt unpolished.[/b] I thought after game released for a year or so, the gameplay would be good, heck no. To the dev: for god's sake, please play other game titles such as Orc Must Die and Dwerve, a lot of important features and UX design are non-exist in this game, like specific loadouts for each mission vs resource (as in, materials required to craft turret X may not exists in current mission, mission preview has no indication), combat mechanic (boss destroy all defenses that you built). TLDR; what a joke
