decent game, but the developers are basically just trolling the players at this point and make working with behaviors way more cancerous than it has to be, by crippling unit communication for no reason other than 5 people saying "it is too overpowered" without further specifying why, at the end of the day they are just catering to the 5 regulars and have no real feel for what average players need.

again this game has A LOT of potential, sadly the devs are too stubborn or think its somehow funny to create a lot of unnecessary work for their players.

leaderboard is full of cheaters with 9999999999999999 score...

EDIT: UPDATE BROKE THE GAME CANT EVEN PLAY ANYMORE

this is a scam.

there are hour long queues, and when you finally get to play, the performance is abyssmal. the game keeps freezing up every few seconds and even just moving around is a pain in the ass.

there are no proper settings for controls, we cant even rotate the camera with keyboard nor make the camera rotate with out character movement.

the game itself offers not many quests, after like 5 or so intro quests the game just sends you off to collect some resources for crafting and thats it, with no further instructions.

very much underrated game

if you liked left 4 dead or vermintide, you will probably like this too!

there are 6 classes, 2 of which are locked behind DLC.
it offers big skill trees and good variety of weapons and playstyles for each class



definitely worth picking up on sale

(just the cutscenes are a bit bad, but i think that can be forgiven)

It's kinda garbage, the performance is horrible even on lowest settings, the missions and everything else are also kinda lackluster and boring.

feedback is handled totally incompetently on their website, important feedback and bugs get deleted, merged, archived or ignored.

combat is still garbage with no signs of improvement.

I expected more from a team with over 10 years of experience working on space engineers...

pretty decent game, imagine it like a mix of valheim and rimworld, but the performance is much better than both of them. i currently got 80 villagers running around doing their stuff with barely any FPS drops. for comparison, in rimworld the game slows down to a crawl when you got like 20 villagers already, and thats just a 2D game. ASKA uses the latest version of unity engine and looks really good imo.

the amount of content is also pretty good, considering that they are still adding major features to the game, we can still expect a lot more content to come. the game is also getting update pretty frequently, and bugs are being fixed quickly. ive bought the game like a week ago and already got 101 hours at the time of writing this, and ive only beaten the first miniboss so far and still running around in some basic leather armor vs the heavy plate you get later xD.

the inventory and villager logic is done really well, managing your settlement is not very tedious and the villagers always know what to do without a lot of player intervention, while still leaving a lot of room for players to be creative and try various setups. you can clearly see that the devs know what they are doing, this is not some AAA slop.

skyrim is great

i give bad review to bethesda because of what they are doing to TES6

game completely broken after the aquatica update.

engrams missing, dinos disappearing, dinos reset to lvl 1 after map transfer, absurdly long loading times

the druid sucks

played this game for 180 hours only to find out that the endgame content is absolutely unplayable in multiplayer.

the game freezes when a wave starts, and only resumes when most of the wave is dead

absolutely impossible to do anything with this game in this state

DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A GOOD MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE


EDIT: update about multiplayer performance question from their #talk-to-devs on discord:

Q: Are the developers aware of these issues?
A: Yes, we are aware, but we wont fix it, it works fine on our LAN connection.

Q: What steps are being taken to fix multiplayer?
A: None, why would we even fix multiplayer? it works fine on our LAN connection.

Q: Have you found already what causes the issues? If so, can you share some details about it?
A: Nope, too lazy to investigate. After all, i cant even answer simple questions.

Q: Is the game using a server authoritative multiplayer model?
A: Yes, we did this to prevent cheating, but then we decided to store saves locally, so it was all for nothing.

Q: Have you considered using a client predictive multiplayer model
A: Whats a clientz prediction?

Q: Is there a timeframe in which we can expect multiplayer performance to be fixed?
A: Yes! When hell freezes!



(i made up the answers since i got no answer from the devs in this whole week, meanwhile they were answering random feature requests, but i think my answers arent too far from the truth)

EDIT2: 1 year later building system still doesnt work properly, meanwhile testing for any multiplayer improvements is impossible because we cant fill a lobby with 4 players - nobody is playing anymore
