An intense game. This one will not be for everyone. Of my friends, and no cut on them, I can safely say it wont be a large number of them enjoying this. It is an EA I noticed sometime ago. Like most of us these days I try and watch a bit before I grab one. That doesnt always work out still, but every now and then.. yeah, it does. This is one I am glad at this point I grabbed. Even in the worse case scenario, its got enough going to make it worth the while now. But on that, the Dev is active ( yeah, also normal during the early days.. ) But! This Dev is not only acknowledging and commenting on bugs, and suggestions, he is working them. The record so far is " That is a great idea.. I am adding it " and it happens. " Wow, thats a bug I totally didnt think of.. " and its fixed. Plus he has been brutally honest. Its a one man show. He is working on this project. He does not have $$$$$ to use at once. But what he is doing, is using it wisely so far. So.. Far.. I stress that because loo...

About This Game
Escape: Sierra Leone is a single-player exploration-based survival first-person game. Focused around complete freedom and interacting with a vibrant world, it takes place on an island chain based loosely off of the real life Banana Islands, along the coast of Sierra Leone. There are approximately 21 square kilometers of terrain to explore, fight, survive and escape from. You start with no weapons, no supplies, no idea of where to go – getting those is up to you. No magic quest arrows pointing where to go, no forced objectives or missions.
Set during the 1997 civil war, the main antagonists are the Revolutionary United Front, a notorious group rebelling against the government. The RUF have occupied the Banana Islands and are on a hunt for diamonds; recruiting who they can and killing, maiming, or enslaving those they can't.
You play as a civilian trying to escape the island. Throughout the game, you are forced to make a series of choices that will eventually lead to you making your escape. Everything from how to approach your attempted escape, to how you interact with other people can have an affect on how everything plays out in the end. The game is totally open and you are never given "quests" or "objectives" beyond simply escaping. You may have encounters during the game in which you are asked to help someone. These are completely open, you can fulfill their request, or simply ignore them, or even kill them, if you wish.
In the 1.0 release, there are at least four methods of escape, and a minimum of 8 different endings that are influenced by choices you make throughout the game. Both of those numbers are likely to rise as development progresses. A compact and simple inventory system will make you think about what food, ammo, guns, or items you want to carry. Combat, while not mandatory in any way, is fairly realistic and very brutal. Each bullet hit or wound causes an appropriate animation and sound effect, for both NPCs and the player.
Key Features:
- Seamlessly scavenge the entire island for supplies you need to survive, from a banana to an AK-47. No invisible walls or loading screens.
- Engage in immersive and realistic combat... or don't, if you're the sneaky type.
- Around 21 square kilometers of hand-painted landscape and vegetation gives you a ton of area to explore.
- Using a simple and intuitive 12 slot inventory system, make the hard call on which items to keep and which to leave behind.
- Realistic bullet physics that factors in gravity, wind, and speed into every individual round – all of which can effect penetration, damage dealt, and accuracy.
- Death comes in more forms than bullets; avoid disease, dehydration, starvation, car crashes, wildlife, and falls.
- 24 hour day/night cycle with a weather system that includes rain of varying strengths, wind, and a 28-phase moon cycle.
- Discover and protect safehouses, they are your only chance to save your game and serve as a good spot to stockpile supplies or clean weapons.
- Find and fuel different kinds of vehicles, from a diesel powered truck to a gas powered motorboat. Walking won't get you anywhere fast!
- Interact with the environment; from picking a lock, to opening a door, to cooking food on a campfire, to chasing a school of fish, to hunting the local wildlife, there are many ways you are involved in the dynamic world around you.
- Get lost in the thick jungle, or stroll around the sweeping beaches.
- Detailed weapon handling including loading and unloading loose rounds into magazines, cleaning your gun, clearing jams, and the option to "quick reload," which drops your old mag on the ground, but reloads faster.
- Explore an unforgiving, although deceptively pretty island. Never forget how easily the island can and will kill.
- Hand placed loot allows for a logical placement of items, instead of leaving it up to a random spawning system.
- No hand-holding or magical GPS-like maps or arrows to push you to success, it's all you!
- Very limited HUD and a focus on immersion and realism. The HUD is only visible when you prompt it to appear.

An amazing premisce to a probably amazing futur game. What i love already : -Unreal Engine 4, really mastered by the dev, day and night cycle, beautifull sun effect, reflections, lightning and foliage, etc etc. -The sound, audio in general, music, gun sounds, everything is top notch. -The exploration of the island which is huge, and could even get bigger with time. -The nostalgic feel of games like far cry and with next gen graphics now. Overall i strongly recommend !!! Will play more and discover more, really am happy with my purchase !!
This game needs serious work. 5 hours in I've seen one enemy very early in game, who I killed with a knife. It's says this is realistic, it has never stopped raining, I died of dehydration. Lots of empty bottles available you can't fill them with rainwater, a cooking pot does not fill up.? You pick certain things up, you drop your weapon and can't pick it up again. The whole inventory system is just hard work. when you do pick something up you then need to go into the inventory to find out what you've got. I have one item, I still don't know what it is. If you're expecting crafting forget it. I'll keep this in the hopes it will improve but knowing what I know now I wouldn't have bought this for the price.
One of the best games I have played in years... Escape: Sierra Leone is a tough game in its own way, the AI is accurate and deadly, Balistics are well simulated, food and water are scarce, the protagonist is Joe Average with no special skills or a gift of divine destiny. What makes this special is that it puts you the player into a mess of trouble where you and your actions really make the success or break it. Stealth is the order of business and a gung ho frontal assault is not going to get you much but a bullet in your gizzard, however in the right moment with luck and surprise on your side it might be just the thing needed to move forward. Be warned, realism is a pain in the rear. You can carry about a dozen items and will have to make some hard choices about what to take and what to leave behind as you travel. I guess the best I can do is list some pros and cons and let you decide for yourself whether this game is your flavor. PROS: Smooth graphics immersive environment simple ...
Wasn't a fan at first, just because it looked like your typical janky survival game. I planned on refunding it due to the price point being a bit steep with where its at (version0.5.10). But actually taking some time with it, im starting to really enjoy this game. Reminds me of a more hardcore Far Cry 3. For now the survival aspect seems a bit too easy with safe houses containing everything you need, atleast on the normal difficulty. With that said you can always play on hardcore which I dont dare to play yet, due to the firefights being pretty intense with even just one enemy. You have to be aware of your surroundings at all times, one screw up and thats it, you go back to your last saved location. My favorite feature of this game so far has to be the gun play mixed with the true first person camera, it feels great. Overall a pretty intense/stressful survival game with realistic aspects, definitely keep your eye on this one.
[h1]Escape: Sierra Leone[/h1] [i]Abysmal performance , sluggish controls , poor animations , bad AI ...( in short it tries to be a poor man's Far Cry 2 clone with no success )...refund ![/i]
Played the game for about an hour an with what I have seen this game has promise. The shooting felt pretty damn intense (mostly being shot at) from the AI. Everytime I heard the first shot go off I jumped running to the nearest Rock or Tree trying to hide for cover. Another thing is getting to a weapon trying to kill off the enemy AI they are persistant in keeping everything including there guns but the shooting either with the RPG or Shotgun is very fun. Did a youtube video for what my experience was an I do like this game hopefully more guns or any new ideas are put into this game in the near future... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er4q7soyStY
This game has a long way to go BUT it is not bad in its current form. Little things like the picking up mechanic are wonky as well as some others. Somethings I found great about the game are . . . - Movement as decent. Did not feel clunky - Scenery in game is beautiful - Combat isnt horrible Now for the things I found bad/annoying - Picking up feature isnt great. Takes a few taps to get things to pick up - When changing key bindings, my game stopped working and I could not start a game. Had to quit out and restart. - When the character is tired (which is always) he breathes heavy which is annoying. All you can hear is him breathing. - Picking up things while things are equipped is awful. You cant really switch things out - Couldn't figure out how to unequip my gun. Just little things like that are annoying but can easily be worked out. Again, I only played for about 30 minutes so I could just of not spent enough time with the controls. If you're interested in seeing the first half h...
Well I played the game for a short period of time and I am requesting a refund. Graphics are just ok. Frames are low under 30. Far to much thick vegatation. I have people shooting me that I can even see!!! Sounded like a great concept but I can justify payment $15 for it.
The game is not finished and the developer say that probably won't be finished. Fair enough: the game is raw, with a terrible combat mechanic and essentially a HUGE void (with plenty of grass) and... ok, it's simply unfinished. Don't waste your money, this is a straight 3 on 10...
