DISCLAIMER (PLEASE READ):
The public Early Access is intended for those interested in supporting the project and participating in its continued development. You will most likely experience balancing issues, performance issues, bugs and missing features. If you are looking for a complete gaming experience, I would recommend allowing some time before trying out the game. There are many YouTube game-plays showing the current state of game. I am the sole developer of the project, which I work on as a passion project. I feel this is important to mention, so that those considering playing the game can make a more informed purchase decision. A full detailed list of the updates since launch can be viewed here: .Goals of the project:
The aim is to integrate the kinds of base-resource micro-management typically found in RTS titles, into a boots-on-the-ground shooter. Each base has an underlying economy of power and raw materials that must be maintained and expanded in order to rise in dominance.The focus is not of primitive survival (although there are many elements during the early-game), but instead a focus on the base, its security, technology and resources.

The game is SUPER unbalanced. Getting resources like Lithium and obsidian is a GIANT chore, for literally no reward. You're better off killing animals with arrows around your base for fat to turn into biodiesel. Combat??? Don't even get me started. Gunplay is THE WORST of ANY shooter game I have played in the last 30 years. When I say that, I mean THE WORST. This game needs SO much help, it's not even funny. But then again, if you ever see a game that is in Alpha after 8 years since launch, you know they fu$%#d up about 7 years ago... I bought it for only $5 on sale due to the market adjustment for Ukraine, and it's still $5 wasted. Don't hope, this game is beyond hope, as the fundamental mechanics are SO bad.
It has suprising of similarities to 7days to die. It has been unoptimized for years, the development is slowly progressing but no where it sholud be, etc. But at least it's unenjoyably difficult. They put you in the wilderness in a single d*ck, where is you don't happen to be eaten by a wolf or a bear, you'll freeze to death at night. Meanwhile you're struggling with hunger and thirst, if you get that far at all. In its current form, I really don't recommend it to anyone
as you can see, i only have 12 mins on my record because everytime i launch it, it just crashed right away and i'm pass the due date to refund this game. so yeah, no. at least for now. I've tried many ways, many tips to make this work on my PC (it's a pretty high end pc, so yeah, my PC is way up the minimum recommendation). After all that, it still doesn't work. Even if it does. a good game shouldn't have the player to do those meticulous chores just to launch the game. But yeah, still waiting, Until they fix this issue.
[h1]Only Just Getting Started[/h1] I cant for life of me understand why this game has such poor reviews. Yeah its hardcore but that just adds to the feel of a true survival game. You have to fight for every scrap and conserve your resources for the right time to fight. The game has so many great and well thought out aspects. Winter, the bears are in hibernation so you think its going to be easy? No because the snow wolves move down from further up the mountain. Water becomes scarce as the lakes freeze up? Get out your axe and go ice fishing while keeping hydrated. Every season feels differnt and has its pros and cons. Get ready for the colder months or you will be holed down in your cabin waiting it out until the snow thaws. Think about clothing, wood collecting and keeping them bullets safe in case you get hunters knocking at your door. The animals are poorly codded and tend to float up rocks to attack but sure this will be ironed out in the near future. There is a large invento...
this gameplay cycle is very repetitive and has no qualities that make it stand out. It is a very cookie cutter survival game, that is horribly optimized and can only be run on the lowest settings possible. no worth the $15 I spent on it.
Dead game, full of unbalanced game play. Have been in EA for more than 10 years.
I'm surprised the game isn't more popular than it is. It's by far one of the best survival games on the market. And I mean a real survival game. The updates over the years have made the game a much better experience as I'm just coming back to it again now. It's still grindy, which is what I want... but you get much more resources now which is making it a much better experience since it almost took a little too long to gather resources prior. Instead of finding one fibre plant to make rope, you'll find a bush with several. So the grind is still there but it's just much more balanced in terms of loot. I see a lot of other games struggle with their AI implementations but this dev has been getting it right. They build their own bases, they fish, they hunt, etc... It's quite unique and enjoyable to have them as a threat. You can set it so they don't attack you unless you attack them first, which is a great option to add for players. In terms of survival mechanics, it's quite vast. Y...
I have problems with the characters the male and female are very ugly the female have a bad posture.The male looks identical with the thieves that trying to kill you! The move of the the characters are very slopy when am runing or swimming ! the animals kill you very fast they dont leave you alone until they kill you! they even swim with you and kill you right away in the middle of the lake ! Need clothes! the game need better reason not only survival!i not sure why its early access from 2015!I Order some clothes from the shop and i still dont have them in my account!
Great game! I truly still enjoy playing after these years and the updates makes coming back to it more enticing.
