All of the positive reviews are fake, don't believe their lies.

Hello all, Firstly i want to say this game has huge potential, talking as a professional game quality assurance tester. Unfortunately, it is not currently close to being up to par in my unbiased opinion. There are so many aspects that not only need to be improved but also completely reworked. I hope the dev reads this whole thing attentively, for the same reason i did not refund this game. I think you can improve, and i think you can learn a lot. I really really want this game to be good, and i think it could be insanely fun with enough work put into it. Im going to list off the things that popped to mind as i played casually without trying to search for bugs or break the game : [list] [*]The farming system needs an overhaul. It is way too long and tedious to water and ferment every plant one by one, to an extent where it is much easier to completely ignore this aspect of the game to get wood, rock and buy stuff from the merchant. [*]Speaking of the merchant, i unders...
It seems fine so far, nothing to special. Like the concept, was 7 bucks. However after an hour or two I stopped because pressing esc pauses and instead of exiting the menu, as small as this is it really hinders my flow.
As of right now I cannot recommend this game. There is clearly potential, but with no news for any planned update and the current state of the game I would say don't buy this. Negatives: Currently it is incredibly difficult to survive the first night. It took me probably three tries or so. The pacing of this game is rushed, the direction is lacking, the hitboxes have a lot of play in them (for enemies and for things like watering your crops), the balancing of resources you obtain versus the amount you need is not quite there (it's not the worst but the jankiness scales with how rushed you are to get turrets and fences down just so you can survive), the farming takes too much time and after a single yield of tomatoes and one yield of three plot's worth of potatoes I just stopped farming, and the information of items and objects is severely lacking. There's no numbers anywhere on cost, sell price, damage, health, nothing. It's all a guessing game. I really cannot stress enough that in a...
Currently in its state I cannot give it a positive review. the reasons why is the achievements are not working, the first night is pretty hard (but doable), after the third day the merchant has nothing new to sell. Also, I was able 2 defeat the game in 14 days. I won't go into details, but I have to say there is a lot of potential in this game. The only main problem now is the developer needs to get into gear and continue with some updates. It’s been a while since the game has gotten a update. We shall see if they do.
This action/crafting game gives you a real purpose to your activities – you need to build up your defenses (fences, automatic turrets, food to heal you) during the peaceful daytime so that you can survive the alien attacks at night time. You can also swing your ax during the nighttime to try and protect your farm, but the aliens are pretty tough, so it's much more survivable if you have good defenses. Note that there's almost no hand-holding so expect to die a lot at first while you figure out what you can do, and what actually helps you survive the onslot at night. A nice change of course from the games that constantly tell you want to do every 10 seconds! There also seems to be a fairly large map to explore, 1 hour in I've only seen a small part of it, and there's definitely loot hidden out there. The game kind of reminds me of a simpler, single player Ark Survival Evolved, but with considerably more utility to crafting structures than in ark, and no boring downtime at night. I d...
I have definitely never known the developer or played other of his games, but I got to say this one has been worth the purchase price for me even though I'm on my 1st run through. I generally like base building, tower defense type games like 7DTD, Empyrion, Space Engineers, SmallLand, Conan Exiles, etc. While this game of course doesn't rise to the level of those, it is better than hundreds of other similar ones in my library. At first, it's hard to get used to the extremely quick day/night cycle. I don't think its adjustable and really flies by. But I think that is for balance since you could probably gather and craft so much during the day that the mob attacks at night would be too easy otherwise. The art style of the enemies vary. Probably asset placeholders to be replaced if he continues to enhance the game into the future. There are some UI bugs that are easily worked around. There are a few biomes and a large enough map. Run speed is very fast, which is nice, so I didn't t...
Relaxing and intense with some nice graphics and world! My favorite is fishing, I haven't played a game with FPS fishing mechanics before and this was fun!!
During the day, you'll find yourself managing and growing your farm, which is a staple of farming sim games. This entails cultivating crops and other aspects like resource management and building. The farming aspects offer a peaceful and relaxing gaming experience, allowing players to create and customize their farms. However, the twist comes when night falls. As the sun sets, you're thrust into a survival scenario where you must defend your farm and yourself from terrifying creatures. This switch from a laid-back farming simulation to an intense FPS experience as they need to fortify their defenses, upgrade their weapons, and fight off waves of menacing foes.
Another amazing game by AppleBomb Games. You can farm fruits & vegtibles, go fishing, explore huge map with many caves, build turrets for defense against monsters who will hunt you down during the night time. I already enjoyed their last game Animalistic which was crazy as well!
