Ka Mate

So I wanted to like this game, but I just can't. You start with an axe, you need leather to make anything, so you go kill deer, to make a knife, for example, you will need to kill 3 deer. You can't always pick up rocks, eating the raw meat is better for you than the cooked, if you kill a bunny it slides around in a huge circle so you can't open it. The campfire only uses sticks, the sleeping bag need to be placed on a base because the ground is too uneven, and you can't actually sleep in it. This is not a game about New Zealand or Maori, you are not even in NZ, plus we as a people would never be so wasteful killing 6 or 7 deer and cutting down 15 trees just to have 1 person survive the night.

Jan 14, 2018 Update: The Devs have fixed the problem with structures disappearing when restoring from a save. Also of note, the devs are responding to comments made on the discussion boards and have already (5 days after launch) provided a bug fix which is very promising regarding on-going development as of this point. Jan 10, 2018 (short version, if you are looking for a game that is fairly stable, this one is NOT very stable yet. If you are looking for a game with potential, this one has it. What remains to be seen is how well the dev's update the game and listen to player feedback) This is a very early review (one day after alpha release on steam) and I will update as the game progresses/develops. The game starts up relatively well and seems stable on my system (which is fairly high end) and does have a couple of options for the graphics. Below are two screenshots at the highest level of graphics. Having looked at the provided video, this is one of the few games where I ...

Looks like this is a dead Game. I would describe the state as early Alpha, at best. No updates in over 8 months. No indication of any interest by the devs. So: Do not waste your money. If there is any change, I will adapt this recommendation.

I've played for just a bit and I've seen a lot of potential, but there is just a feeling that it is too early even for the early access. However, if you keep improving, you've got some chances to make this game a good one. I am playing a 21:9 screen 2560x1080, and you don't have this kind of resolution as a choice. The graphics quality is still not quite as good as it could be. The menu is just awful. You could have put more work into actual design of your game from the start. Look at the games of your genre like The Long Dark and try to be equally good at creating the starting menus. Animals don't move like that. I've been punching a deer while it was running INTO me. Literally inside my body. Godrays are beautiful, but need more work. They shouldn't disappear as soon as you turn away from the sun or the moon. The game I buy should provide me with something to do, but your game doesn't. It just lets me roam around. Actually my thoughts are that you just don't know what you want. You'v...

I for sure don't recommend this game. 1. very limited on what can be craft 2. deer get stuck in running animation 3. rabbits death animation freaks out and slides fast along the ground back and forth so you can't get anything from the body 4. didn't find any ponds, lakes or rivers to drink 5. no campfire to craft for cooking meat that was taken from dead deer (didn't try eating raw meat) 6. No other animals besides female deer, male deer that try and kill you and rabbits

If this game was free you would still be paying too much. The last thing done on this game was in January so this game has most likely been abandoned.

Save your money. It is a barebones asset survivalish demo. There are deer and rabbit. The only things that can be built are a campfire and a house and a few tools. Deer run in place once you hit them. Rabbit would make Speedy jealous. There's nothing to do but chop wood, cook meat and drink water. Not even worth it on sale.

FKING TRASH VERY BUGGY THIS SHT WAS RELEASED IN 2018 AND IT FEELS AND RUNS LIKE IT WAS ABANDONED THEN

in all honesty i found it very choppy, and poorly done. the game would constantly become unresponsive when male deer get close to me. every single tree uses the exact same skin, i find this very unpleasant. i dont think this game should have been released yet, seems this game is just thrown together so far a little shotty work has been done in each place to make this game sorta function. like when a mechanic sells you a broken car that runs smoothly for the first 200km. i got a refund, fastest one ive ever put requested.

garbage game the devs are going to abandon as soon as the sales drop off
