Outback

NOTE: Review updated/changed on 26 October 2018 Update: Recommendation changed to NO. Developer admitted to lacking proper software, knowledge and skills to properly address the development of this title. I do not believe the single developer has the knowledge or capability to make this into a viable finished product. Should also note how the developer has consistently used "friends" and shell accounts to boost positive reviews and has likewise deleted negative feedback on the forum and has likewise banned negative other members from the forums for negative feedback. And yet, the developer has no problems trying to hijack reviews and insert his own comments (see below for the developer response). This developer is not to be trusted, and you should spend your hard earned money on a better product. Developer recently admitted he has no "roadmap" for the future development of this "game"...so, if you're fine with donating money to this developer for a title which will never leav...

The game is very basic right now and really only showcases the idea but it does have a lot of potential. The dev is active on the forums and replies to anyone who asks for help or makes a suggestion. He is only one person on his own designing this so don't expect huge leaps and bounds in development, slow and steady but give it time and you will see a game you always wanted. No more forced placement of items along a fixed axis, you place them EXACTLY where you want them and resize them to exactly what you need. Once the new build is released on the new engine, we will have a proper GUI, inventory and such. After speaking to the developer, I can see his vision of what the game is to become. Buy into it now and be part of the development process, he is actively asking what players want in the game, not just designing what he wants.

Interesting how all the people who have downvoted this game have 0.1 hours playtime. With the frequent updates, this game is progressively taking shape. The deveoper listens to feedback and criticism, so instead of just downvoting, get in conatct with the developer to discuss your thoughts and opinions.

Bought this looking for a cheap indie game for under 5 dollars, not really disappointed but it's hard to learn, but other than that it's fun to fuck around on and it gets brownie points for being Australian with my favourite illegal firearm 19/10 -would drink a VB long Neck and Smoke a pack of durries while playing this again Side note, do not mine too much stuff or you become slow and removing stuff from inventory doesn't help

it alright

Outback Survival is a survival game made using the Unreal engine. I think the game I could compare it to the most would be The Forest, but they're completely different games. In The Forest, the emphasis is on exploration and melee combat. In Outback Survival, the emphasis is on crafting and ranged combat. I'm not going to keep comparing the two games, apart from mentioning that Outback Survival is still being worked on (unlike The Forest). The title is a bit of a misnomer, because you have the entire map of Australia to adventure in! The capital cities are represented by lootable towns, which is a nice touch. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to indie titles, and this is one of the indiest (totally a word) titles ever made. For example I'd much rather put up with placeholder graphics than microtransactions. Also, many games are released long before they're actually finished, such as the amazingly borked and constantly time-wasting Vermintide 2. But Outback Survival is in Early A...

This Game is an excellent masterpiece. While the graphics, sound effects and the gameplay are on the low-side, this doesn't make this a bad game. (+ these problems will be fixed in the near future) This game definitely has some charm and I would definitely recommend the attention that this game deserves. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.5/10 -Signed MeOldMateAustie™

good game easy enough to move around ,need mere building content and where's the wild life ?

I haven't played very long but was interested in the concept of survival in Australia - kind of love the uninhibited nudity at start too, and all was going well UNTIL zombies started appearing; snakes, dingoes, extreme heat, falling off a cliff, even a Wolf Creek murderer on the loose can be expected....... but Zombies????????????? you just lost me unless I can turn zombies (as a danger element) off. I would love to support an Oz product but not if it only heads in this direction, sorry, will keep track of updates.

Not a bad game at all! It runs very smooth and everything works solidly. The interface is straight forward and there's even a built in video tutorial for beginners. I really am one for supporting the underdog. This game has gone through a tremendous revamp and its refreshing to finally see, such commitment from a developer, who has stated that its not about the money, but about getting the job done! I cant understand why Trolls would attack this project??? It must be jealousy or some sick disease that's going around these days!
