Reviewing the game as it currently is...not what everyone saying it will be in a day/week/year from now. Will update review after game updates. (08/16/15) Simply put, the game is unplayable for me. Too many threads apparently. The sound glitchs out. And while this might just be me, it turns my internet off. I tested it 10 times and every single time it crashs my internet turns off for a min. (08/17/15) The devs are trying to fix the problems now. Going to wait for the big announcement. (5:00) A small update just came out makeing the game playable. Still broken tho. (5:40) Another update. Can't tell what was changed. Lost my dude 5 mins in since the last update. Runs better in windowed mode. (6:15) I found a way to find my guy in the forums. Have 3 fps. (8:45) Can't connect. (9:25) Down for maintenance. The Devs are looking for for a second programmer. (08/18/15) After another update the game has become playable. It runs some what smoothly, has really bad pop in, glitchy, and don't h...

About This Game
ABD: A Beautiful Day is an MMORTSS (Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time Survival Strategy) that spans from 100,000 B.C.E. to 245 B.C.E.. Play in this 24 hour, 7 days a week continuous environment to build your civilization, and fight exposure in the process. Work together or work alone, and task your minions to do your bidding while you're gone! Inspired by Gaming Epic's like Empire Earth, Age of Empires, Supreme Commander, and The Oregon Trail, you will embark on an epic journey for survival that spans the ages. As a player, you will contribute to the progression and stories that encompass the era, the era around you, and the direction of the game as time moves forward. It isn't one rain drop that initiates a flood, its many thousands.
•Anticipated Rating: M for Mature.
•Post-Launch Agenda: E for Everyone version.
•24 hour, 7 days a week continuous game area.
•100+ Square Kilometer Map + Infinite.
•Holiday Events.
•Units work while you're away.
•Men, Women, and Children.
•Historical accuracy.
•Unique Technology system.
•Unique Crafting and Equipment system.
•Diverse Economy. (W.I.P.)
•Full Dismemberment. (W.I.P.)
•Many, many more features.
Players will battle exposure, infection, a lack of technology, and hardships that can cast the environment into a dark-age. Each Tier involves something called a Paradigm Shift, a Formal Paradigm that encompasses the epic of the era. Epics are stories that societies tell themselves that encompass their world views. These Paradigms are in textual form, which advances both on an individual player level and reflects globally across the game environment. For the July 15th Release, you will play through the First and Second tier, receiving further tiers as we progress through the refinement process of our Work in Progress release.
Unlike most Tier/Era/Age based Real-Time-Strategy games, we're moving away from 'set' timespans. When you enter the game, you'll have primitive technology to begin with just like everyone else regardless of global progression. As you expand, you'll unlock further technology to aid you in your travels. Instead of having this 'set' timespan, players will have a unique experience every time they enter a server. For instance, if Server A is more aggressive, a dark age will be incurred. If Server B is more cooperative, technology and trade will be abundant. On Server C it could be a mix of the two, with certain regions in constant conflict and one or two superpowers in the far off distance. Also, you progress individually, but can work cooperatively and form alliances or guilds.
ABD plays out like any other RTS, except this time, cooperation and unity is your best bet for survival. The days of killing everything and everyone are over, you'll need each other to survive. Not only that, you'll form developmental relationships with your civilization. Sending your minions in to die will have an effect on you, emotionally immersing you into the experience. The introduction to Women and Children is important, otherwise the 18-32 male only demographic makes players remorseless to their actions in games. You will absolutely encounter ruthless players, but this feature will unify the gaming community in the conquest for the greater good to triumph the evils of the almighty player.

had to request a refund due to the game hardly ever being online, requires a server connection and everytime i tried it failed , when i did get on once or twice, the units/characters wouldnt move, for early access its the most limited game i have tried in EA, hardly any content, alot of bugs and issues, and the devs are nice i give them that but turning a server off all day for 2 days its rediculous, maybe once they get there act together ill rebuy it. edit 30/06/2016 Never ended up being offered this so called pass ended up refunding the game and being sweet talked by the dev, and rebought it, still nothing i just think its being dragged out now, followed by excuses, yes i felt passionate about the game and gave the dev's the benifit of a doubt but nothings changed, the game is over, why start a game when you dont have the gut to see it through all i hear is because of this or that. when its just pure and utter bull. the games crap tbh and with all the excuses im over it, time to m...
The game is currently unplayable and not even suitable for early access release screenshots are nothing like what they are in game. I replied to a thread to explain that the game was not suitable for early access release i get a childish reply from the developers who then proceed to ban me off the forums. It's shame the game has potetional to be a unique game that has not been made before on this scale but the way the devs reply back to you just puts me off supporting this game all together. I would avoid paying for this game for the time being untill the devs learn some better customer support skills. ------------------ Chinwun has ABD: A Beautiful Day (Banned) 11 Sep @ 12:36am Sorry but that game is actually diabloical even for an early access.

DO not Buy this game Do Not support this Developer he is a major tool that bans anyone that gives any negetive comment about this project or his decisions this game was released in august and its as of writing this oct-15 its still not even playable there is no humanly way possible to keep funding up long enough for this MMO to last its Dead Move on!! and if the Dev wants to comment on my review telling me all about the forums toting there progress i have withheld judgment for 3 months and all i see are false promises and you blaming someone else for EVERY mistake. (Example) Originally posted by ABD Dev - GAMEntertainment: I'm a Game Dev, if you wan't to get sucked off and talk ♥♥♥♥♥ to customer service, go blast your telephone provider or somebody in fast food. Three day ban, smartass. also if your with me thus far check out this work of crap from the Dev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-LAFyxdmrU
I can't even play the game because it says too many threads. You can just refund it as its current state is unplayable and then just buy some other early access game. When the time comes that it is playable and not so buggy then you can buy it and try it and if it still doesn't run well then by all means refund it again. EDIT:August 19, 2015 This is a link to what they promised on about the ABD:Legacy Edition http://steamcommunity.com/games/384920/announcements/detail/79164656956583072 Just a warning to you guys especially the one's that are hyped, I bought the early access game DayZ last year and as of now DayZ is still buggy and has less content than what they promised in future developments and H1Z1 is a lot better and has more content than DayZ(but also some hackers) so I hope that you guys will heed my warning. 60$ the final price for the game after the 29th of August 2015 which it seems very fishy especially how you cant even play it at the start of their launch that was on ...
<<<DO NOT BUY>>> Edit 28.08.2015 requested refund --> case closed ___________________________________________________________________________________ Edit 27.08.2016 So after nearly another week of waiting nothing has happend. Okay wrong no you have to even click on "play" in some sort of start menue, but after that just the usual connencting nothing more. This is another big scam, dev's lie, delete posts, ban etc just to shut ppl off :( . Sad that steam allows such black sheep. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Edit 22.08.2015 After some one day of servers down to "fix" ( i had to laugh a lot) stuff they are up or maybe not ... the game starts and now you even can choose what race you want etc but after that it is jsut "connecting" for ever. So has to be seen if smt will happen in the next few days. This game cleary has been rusehd out to grad some cash !!! _________________________________________________________________________...
Can't even Play the game , runs at 2 fps !
Beta is nothing more then logging in.... look at character... because char cant do ANYTHING... AT ALL. Like SRS NOTHING. Allot of promises but..... Concept is pretty cool, but by the time these guys actually made it into a game A beautifull yesterday allready exists. So my tip is not the pay for this game but wait for the next best thing. Update 25-12-2017 > Game still the same as when I bought it so SCAM Please steam remove this game from the store. Update 7-7-2021 > Game does not work at all, still for sale? Epic scam! Want to flush 22€ down the drain? Easy! Buy this game today! Steam, this is just embarrassing.
If you buy this game and realize you can't play and then ask "why can't i play?" You will be banned. This game is a scam and it's very clear game released almost a month ago... "Oh, there's hardly any content" "Oh this game is super buggy"................... LOL nope those responses would be for a game that has a client, this game is a empty file!!!! You literally pay 18$ for a empty file!!! Report this game That dev response is a complete bullshit response, it would make sense if it was just me he's banning, but he's banned like 50% of the active "fans" of this game, doesn't that seem like it goes beyond trolling?
This slow motion train wreck just keeps getting worse. I searched Steam for ABD and saw that it was listed as a free demo. I clicked on the box hoping to give them (devs) another chance, but was just sent to the purchase page. This fiasco should serve as a notice to others who might want to bring a product to market that is untested - don't do it. If it were my product I would take it down, fix it, rename it and rebrand it. Added April 2, 2016. Friends, do not contribute to this scam. This has been a series of execuses that are beyond rational belief. How Steam allows this to continue is beyond me, as it is so bad that it is smear on their reputation as well. If you purchased this game and have not requested a refund you should, even if the refund period has elapsed. I have watched with astonishment now for months, just to see how long it would take for Steam to pull this insult to the industry from their virtual shelves. If you ever see another product from this scam artis...
