I cant say it still sucks because i wont play it to check, but the bf4 engineer skin being locked behind this is G@@ af.

I just got to experience the entire new update through streamers and now its releasing and i feel no need to play or pay anything for this buggy mess.

This game is neat for 7$, it isn't 7 dollars. Its 25$ currently. You are alpha testing a map game with a side of horde survival. But to top it all off my first save corrupts at a mere 100 pop, I was bored of skipping terrible dialog so no major loss.

Its game play is incredibly shallow so i will start with the surface level since there aint much else. The radio calls are unskippable, you can fast forward but its barely an improvement since it still locks your game. I played in eastern block Alabama since all the buildings appear soviet. There is none of the QOL of a thought through horde game or city builder. The last major update was the ability to harvest multiple resources with click and drag... There is no prioritiztion of construction, despite having prioritized repair as an unlocklable building. I think the biggest issue is daily labor reshuffle, if you leave one guy on guard duty next day it will be 3 and the day after 7, and soon enough you are out of wood because your harvesters decided they wanted to cook.

I cant respond to the developer comment except by editing, and i do intend to give it some time and try again.
Un-skippable dialog makes the idea of reattempting the campaign seem tedious at best. Thanks for the consideration.

A lot of baffling decisions before claiming full release, gate keeping the progression behind RNG books and needing to read a wiki about what skills spawn more books is pretty lame. Its not difficult its just obnoxious and tedious. The biggest offender is electrical books which you wont need before day 14 but by god you will have enough by then. After 10 years development you can go play the beta versions and see all the cool stuff they removed.

Absolutely the most well made game in the genre

"Host connection timeout"? is this what i payed 25$ for? Apparently since its all i can do...
