Honestly, I hate to write this review. Because I genuinely had really high hopes for this game earlier on. But ever since the 1.0 release, I can't personally recommend this game anymore after the 1.0 release.
If you like simple survival games, then you'll like this one, and for you I fully recommend this game.

But after the 1.0 release it really felt like they went "we're tired of making new unique and interesting equipment for higher tiers of the game, here, just reuse all the old ♥♥♥♥ you made way earlier and upgrade it into being the best weapons and gear in the game."

Early on in the development of this game, their design choices and their communication with the community gave the vibe that this was going to be a non-traditional survival game with unique and interesting enemies with the Composer and the Leyak and the Reaper, with unique and interesting science based gear that was unusual and fun to interact with play with. Then the end game devolves into "various enemies that just shoot you with bullets in functionally the same way" with you shooting back with generic guns that shoot bullets in various similar ways, and it was just automatically better than every other gear choice.

My favorite was their early dev post talking about how they wanted gun repair kits to be rarer items to encourage you to use the weaker scientist gear. Then not only did they make the scientist gear upgradable, making it equivalent or even better than the normal guns you could loot, but they also made the normal gun repair kits buyable and easy to find, becoming an over-adundant resource I had to make separate storage for (and eventually just stopped picking up), but also made upgrading the normal guns remove their locks preventing you from using the better ones without specific gear to enable their use.

Quite a big let down from someone who was extremely interested in the early versions of this game. How can you go from making a tameable pet that was also a usable weapon that felt pretty strong, balanced with it's unusual ammo choice, and then the final release just says "Make the makeshift shotgun at the start of the game and then just upgrade it through the entire game, you'll never need to touch another weapon".

Keeping my hopes up for future content from this game since they don't seem to be done with it, and maybe I'll change my review in the future, but considering the quality of the final stretch of the game (with the "difficulty" coming from everything hitting like a truck for no good reason), I will instead hold my hopes on Dragonwilds for a game to be something that breaks the norms of these survival games.

Really good! Excited for the full game!

Haven't played an excessive amount yet but this is, in my opinion, what I expected of the full game based on the demo. Extremely fun and interesting and I cannot wait to play with my friends and progress and unlock everything in time!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing

I LOVE this game and series. If you are a fan of the previous games, or you enjoy things like dungeon defenders, please do not let all the negative reviews skew your view. I HATE to say this- but it is a SKILL ISSUE. Single player is NOT HARD.
People refuse to read and watch the ingame tutorials, refuse to put thought into what they do, and get mad when they lose. If you have ANY critical thinking skills or strategy experience in the slightest YOU WILL ENJOY THIS GAME.

Extremely fun and filling a niche I've been looking for for quite a while!
Would be awesome if we could get hacks unique to our engineers and not just our specialty units

play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game

Why did you take your perfectly fine Peer to peer game and make us AUTO CONNECT to hong kong servers? Went from perfect game to MASSIVE LAG for NO REASONS.

Great game.
Pretty disappointed in the 1.0 release because the stuff they added doesn't fit a 1.0 release at all.
Eager to see them add more to flesh out the new mage and summoning classes so they're actually viable at all levels of the game, and then I could recommend it as a finished game.

Good, fun gameplay, AMAZING humor. Top of the top, they put alot of love into it, and it shows.
