Barren Roads

Plays like build 14 of The Dead Linger. Tells you all you need to know, really. But for those of you fortunate enough to have steered clear of TDL, here goes. It's presently unplayable. Spawned in, ran around. Walked through vehicles and walls. Found a gun but could not for the life of me pick it up. Kept getting a 'clear inventory' message. Didn't know how to clear inventory. Hitting TAB brings up said inventory, but clicking items or trying to drag and drop them into slots did nothing. Got attacked by a female zombie who roared like a lion. Died, dropping a flare gun and med kit. 10/10, best The Dead Linger simulator ever.

Im not going to recommend this game right now, the controls and movement are very clunky. That alone right now is making it hard for me to enjoy the game. If further versions improve the movement in general, I'll be likely to return to the game.

Do not buy this game, waste of money. Horrible controls and graphics. Those who say its an amazing game might be friends with the developer, and he hasent been on in a long time

This game represents everything that is wrong with Early Access models.

Don't bother, last update was 19th November, of 2015.

If you're looking for a game that is completely broken then this game is for you. 1. sometimes it wont tart up 2. main screen is black with words "single player" & "multiplayer" 3. if your buying this game with a friend to have fun DO NOT multipler does not work for many reasons if you click multiplayer it starts with all your singleplayer gear you may be thinking "yay synced servers" no... its a bug youve just started up your singleplayer game and if you do some how manage to get on to the multiplayer it is dead and 100% broken 4. playing this game and someone calls you on skype... you tab out, answer it and go back onto your game everything looks normal so you continue playing. You come across a banbit and kill him for his loot (singleplayer) but you realise you can't pick it up as it is bugged 5. you restart your game click single load old character and you know where you logged off but some how your inventory is now bugged you've started back at the beggining and all loot has res...

A wait and see title, when you compare Survival Post-Apocalypse now which is priced at £3.99 and 10 times better, to Barren Roads priced at £10.99. It becomes very hard to be giving the thumbs up. One to put on the wishlist to see how it develops. As of 2hrs play (5/6/15) running on (Win 7 64, i3 2100 3.00GHZ, AMD HD 6400 GPU VRAM 1GB, System RAM 4GB) It runs well even on a low spec PC with settings on low and 720p I got a fps of 120. But the movement and animation is sluggish and on muti-player near unplayable with 2 sec delay. The graphics are below par (On my other PC thats highend) and the environment is very barren and lifeless. Raiders hover 4 foot in the air aimboting your every move and aiming at zombies heads shoots their toes, before dying after six or so shots and shooting 40 foot into the air. The aim (dot) is just to the right of the 3rd person character, which I believe is trying to mimic mass effect. Coming back to the environment, the buildings and many objects clip...

AMAZING! Alpha of course so it does have it's own issues, but for what the developer is aiming for.. He is right on target!!! Zombies fly 60 feet in air on death.. *FG* 10/10 So much FUN for ALPHA

Abso-Fucking-Lutely attrocious. This game is total garbage from start to whatever the hell the finish is - death? I think that's the ending for the game; death. The hit detection is totally random, the graphics look like this game was made for a (failed) highschool project, the controls make no sense and the menu is utterly broken. Trying to transfer items from your inventory to your equipment slots should not be so hard - and ONLY because the menu is so fucked up that you can't READ what the menu says. Hostile NPCs have fucking eagle vision and can spot you from miles away - SOMETIMES through WALLS - and the zombies are able to run right through eachother - and you - and whail on you from INSIDE your body. AND, to top that off, the controls (when they decide to WORK) have such bad input lag that I'd be willing to bet you could control a robot on the surface of Mars better than you could this bag of pickled anuses. What's worse is I wasted Fifteen fucking dollars on this blatant Seven...

In case you are looking for a real hardcore depressive post-apocalypse game - Barren Road is the one! I've never felt so lonely and sad, I should say! The atmosphere is perfect. As for the bugs and etc. - yeah, I actually expected all this. And BR is on the whole as I thought it would be. Buggy, depressive, hardcore apocalypse. My only wish towards the developers - don't abandon this masterpiece! I've played loads of games and I think there might be something special about this one!
