Early Access Review
Bought this game in 2016
Do I recommend it 3 years later? Not exactly.

While it was interesting at first, not much seems to have changed with this game in 3 years, and somehow the crafting UI got worse. While I am happy to hear someone different picked it up and began to update it again I still feel underwhelmed. Old saves are long corrupted now, so running around with a fresh new start and fresh perspective.

If you are a hardcore survival lover, give this game a go, but if you are looking for a more in depth story with an easier on the eyes UI, wait for the devs to polish this game more.

Thanks for the post! We greatly appreciate you returning and spending a bit of time with the game. =)

Actually a ton has changed in the last 8 months. For starters, we (Last Bastion Studios) took over the development of Savage Lands from the previous developer (Signal Studios) back in May 2018. Since that time our team has released a series of constant updates (over 20) that as of the latest release includes over 890+ bug fixes, we have resolved several major game crashes, improved performance (FPS) by over 58% on most machines, revamped the AI and general content flow, fixed the networking code so players can co-op, overhauled much of the artwork, rebalanced the entire game, and have added new content (creatures/items/etc.). We have plans to add a new playable area to the game in the coming months complete with new creatures and items.

As of our last update (Build 46), Savage is the most playable it has been since the Unity 4 version was moved to a legacy state 3 years ago.

and somehow the crafting UI got worse.

LBS – How so? Do you have any more details? Many of the tweaks came at the request of players/community.

Old saves are long corrupted now, so running around with a fresh new start and fresh perspective.

LBS – Existing characters should work fine, it’s the world saves for returning players that may have issues. New players are not affected by this.

Thanks again for playing, please feel free to post here in our Suggestions & Feedback Forum or message us directly if you have any more feedback. =)

Regards,
-Last Bastion
