SurvHive

This game is about atmosphere and the stories you come away with. So here's my tale. I awaken in the sleeping quarters. The ship's computer telling me some kind of alien organism is on board. I scramble out the door, waving a pistol down both ends of the corrider. Seeing nothing I take off running down the metal decks of the ship, my foot steps echoing much louder than I'd like. I turn a corner and meet with a couple of my crew, Brice and Joe. The three of us know the alien can take on human form, so naturally we point guns in eachother's faces. The stand off is cut short though as machine gun fire is heard rattling off in the distance. We three immediately lower our guns, an instant truce being formed. We take off sprinintg to see where the gunfire is coming from, and as we spin around a corner we are rooted to the ground at what we see. A frantic marine is pouring round after round into what I can only describe as a 'Thing'. The marine is decimated, the gore covering the bulkhead...

I was quite excited about the premise of this game. Unfortunately, when I started it up there was no one to play with. Literally no one was playing the game. That's a bit of a problem for a multiplayer game. I still hopped in for about ten minutes and ran around a map to check out the basic mechanics at least. After I was done experimenting I went to the forums and brought up the population of the servers and asked about who enjoyed playing the game and if there was a way to get into a game with some other people. A developer responded to me and informed me that the lack of population was currently standard and that there is a Discord chat for the small community which had about twenty-five people on it. I asked if anyone was interested in playing, waited about twenty minutes, checked back on the forum, and then decided to request a refund from Steam. The game could have potential in the future and yes, it is Early Access, but currently, you won't even be able to play it unless you b...

The game's good, I'll just tell you some basic things that you should know once you get this game: Press M for the Neon pop up signs, it's very helpful when you need to dash for the airship. Press G for upgrades, V for special abilties. As you log in, there isn't a tutorial, you are expected to choose one of the four classes, the Engineer, the Scientist, the Cultist, and the Soldier. Each of them have their own ways of winning the game, the Engineer can make a giant robot, nessecary equipment, while the scientist can find ways to enhance humans and find new inventions. The Cultist has his/her own objectives that may be to translate artifacts or kill people (I'm not so sure on this part) though I do know that they can have a mutated figure and may cause confusion, last of all is the marine pretty self explainatory run and gun. Now heres the cool thing, the infected is also in the form of a human, and what this means is he/she can also slowly creep up on people, acting friend...

Found this game as a result of an ad. Gameplay is fun, even with the earliness of the development. It pits humans against a disguised alien, a la The Thing. The prime alien must infect every other player - turning them into more aliens - to win. The humans must survive as long as possible, as the escape shuttle only has one seat! The developer is attentive to the game, and pays attention to bug reports and feedback. There's also a Discord! https://discord.gg/ASs4J

Can't review, can't find people to play with. as in literally i've never been able to play 1 game of this.

Sorry to say i'm giving this game it's first bad review,.. the mechanics look fun on youtube,.. but feel VERY clunky in game i realize this is EA,.. but the servers are absolutely DEAD,.. which is a big problem for horror survival multiplayer games,.. lol only buy this if you want to like the dev told me "Think of it of an investment in a project that has just started..." lol,.. it looks fun on youtube,.. but its Dead and clunky... it doesn't feel like The Thing (And i Should Know,..:D) ,.. it feels like a different version of Dead by Daylight,.. which is a horrible game in it's own right and Friday The 13th will be putting both titles to shame,.. sad to say to both the devs,.. i know this will get down voted by all the people that gave good reviews (and prolly got free copies or steamcash for doing so lol) but even though it is counter productive to not play a game because there are no players playing the game,.. it's not something that is overly intriguing and begs me to come b...

Although the game's presently in early access, the core gameplay elements here are already quite well structured and implemented. While this kind of 'the thing' in multiplayer game form has certainly existed before, SurvHive's integration of tabletop style elements and continually shifting objectives keeps individual matches dynamic and engaging and forces human players to improvise rather than strictly hunkering down. More than anything the game just produces a lot of tremendously entertaining stories and moments, whether tricking human players into trusting you as an alien or turning them against their own comrades, or slinking about dark corners as a human while the powerful Alien Prime hunts you down, it can all be quite memorable. As an EA game, there's still a lot of rough edges, gameplay elements need refinement and there are just the two maps at present, but it's a promising start from a responsive team.

Great game, but now the game is dead that I question why it is still on steam. No one plays anymore but I did play during when it was first released and it was very enjoyable. DO NOT BUY UNTIL ALIVE. The only way for the devloper to save the game would be putting the game out for free now, the entry bar was just way to high. $10 dollars to buy this game on a game that depends on how many people enter? No thanks... So disappointed in what a great potential game it was but the devloper just given up on it because the money was just not there.

Im never really good at writing reviews but I will try to explain my experience with the game. It does need work of course it is a alpha so that is understandable. But it is a extremely fun and well made game that is still being worked on. The developers talk with the fans directly in the discord server and are very down to earth. So as for gameplay its all about paranoia and trying to figure out who you can trust while you do the objectives around the level. You can play different classes that focus on different perks to mix up the game which works out very well. Again im not very good at reviews but please give this game a try it needs the players! Also it has a discord group page for everyone wanting to find games in it! https://discord.gg/9GG8tTQ

Let me preface this review by saying that this game is early access so anything said here could be changed or improved on in the future. Bear in mind the date of this review before making your opinion. Okay so, I'm a HUGE fan of "The Thing" and I think the idea of aliens slowly taking over the crew and you don't know who to trust is awesome, hence why I love Trouble in Terrorist Town. So, I purchased this game based on my love for "The Thing" and "Aliens" among other inspirations, and as well the ~90% positive review on steam. I read through some of the other reviews and many praise the game for its potential, not what is in the game currently. Imo this is NOT a review of the game as a review is an analysis of the game in its current state, not what it could become. I have also read the dev is responsive and active on fixing bugs, addressing people, etc, which is rare in an early access title. However, even though I agree that the game has potential, I am going to talk about what th...
