Overall, this is a solid game that feels that it is priced fairly. The game is definitely very similar in its design and feel to that of V Rising. The significant difference is there is what feels like a proper story here. It isn't in the way of the game play, but definitely leans in to keep the flow of the game moving. Something that V Rising would benefit from.

The villagers are not very deep, and could benefit from more quips and lines of dialog. It would definitely be nice to see more pictures for the various minions/villagers from the two basic male/female images that we get.

Controls feel decent, but the over the shoulder view we get does take some getting used to. It is very far to the right of the character making initial experiences in movement and combat a bit awkward. This viewing angle also does make building a bit frustrating at times too.

As for the castle building... I haven't built my own proper castle yet, and I have already opened up Hell's Chasm and the Fey Swamp. I've been waiting to do that for whatever reason. Not saying that I don't want to, I just haven't yet for whatever reason. There is plenty of options to build one, and lots of decorative furniture to make it look good.

Overall, this is an early access title that feels like it has a LOT of potential for more to be seen. I honestly am hoping that we see new lands open up to conquer, new furniture to add, and new experiences. Wouldn't mind seeing some mod support added in down the road either.

All in all, I give this a 7 out of 10 kind of score. A game worth sinking your teeth into.

This is one of those games that plays the same between the mobile version and the pc version, and both are fantastic. You can even take your save between the two. It isn't very elegant, but it is viable. 10tons did a fantastic job here with this open world survival title. The progress is solid, the DLC adds new areas and monsters to deal with. The crafting isn't crazy, or difficult. Everything can be "dysmantled". There is lore in the game that you will discover through your play through. All in all, this is a recommendation without hesitation. A fun title that isn't hardcore, and definitely scratches that itch when you need your survival game, but you want to chill too.

I am saying "Yes" to recommend it because it is free, and at least worth the try. My experiences may not be reflective of yours.

Overall, I am terrible at these kind of games. I wanted to try it and see how it ran. I have a beefy PC and I had no issues. It loaded smoothly after the shaders were done. Got into the rounds pretty quickly. Control over voice chat is great, for obvious competitive shooter reasons. The visuals aren't all that special, but honestly they don't need to be realistic, or high poly.

I have to admit that there are elements that didn't feel very well balanced. I know I suck, but when I don't feel like I am doing the same level of damage as the opponent kills the fun. Hero Shooters frustrate me, and that feeling of not doing anything while constantly dying ruin the experience for me. Again, this is a "me" thing,

In regards to the optimization, I was playing with a friend and his computer is running a RTX 2080 I believe. His CPU is also rather old. He set everything to low to make sure it ran, and he had zero issues. My system is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with a 5070ti. Maxed out the settings at 4k with DLSS and it was 120 frames of smoothness and quick loads.

As I started with, this is a free game. Give it a shot, and decide for yourself. You may actually have fun and enjoy it. Just temper your expectations.

Probably one of the better idle RPG titles I have played in recent months, if not years. After 8 hours, I haven't hit much of a wall yet. There are three major purchases for the game that are Pay for Convenience. Their purpose to just speed up progress a bit. There is also the usual "premium currency" purchase, but I have yet to need to bother with it, as the game is pretty good at dishing out "diamonds" on a regular basis hitting various goals. Overall, give it a shot. It's free.

I tried. I really tried. Just avoid this mess. The last update was 3+ years ago as of this posting. Enemies are unbalanced bullet sponges with massive damaging attacks. The game tells you to buy upgrades (in game collected money and loot). But being such a slog, you can't keep up. And this is just the start of the game. Save your money, save your time, save your patience.

First off, there are micros for convenience, but they aren't necessary, and don't unbalance the game. There are a couple different currencies, but most seem tied to seasonal stuff. However, the game is fun. Like, actual fun. The base building isn't to difficult, but it isn't held back. A nice balance giving veteran players plenty to do to express themselves, but not to overwhelming that scares away less experienced players. I should say that this is Palworld before Palworld was Palworld. You collect deviations, and then you put them to work. As of this review, there is a palworld crossover going on too.

Anyway, this is a solid experience and everyone really should dive in.

Mindless fun. Not mindless meta. Fast and intense. Super time killer that you don't realize has passed. Controls are smooth and feel responsive. The meme-iness of the game is amusing and not really at all distracting.

If you are a big mecha fan, this is definitely a title for you. However, even as a big mecha fan, this is a tough sell. I do enjoy it I have to say it is more than just homage to the days of yore (EarthSeige and such), but feels like it is ripped straight from the mid-90s era. This in itself can be great for those that played those games, but it can feel very dated for those that didn't grow up on that era of mecha games. I was more of a console gamer back in the 90s, so SNES and Playstation/Saturn were the places I got my giant robot fix. The feeling is there, but the experiences are very different. Don't overlook it because it honestly deserves the time and attention.

It is an okay game. I just find it a bit on the boring side. Perhaps, like any game, it would be fun with others...I just don't want to make that the only reason it is worth playing. Especially when everyone I know has long since moved on from this.

This game is confusing, and perhaps confused. It has the feeling of wanting to be a stealth shooter, but it isn't. It wants to auto lock on things, but it also wants you to do it manually. It wants you to play it like a twin stick shooter, but the controls feel stiff. There is also inconsistencies with how enemies work. There are enemies that aren't bullet sponges. They are just anti bullet.

Level design is good. However, some things about it make no logical sense. Example being the ability to see through walls. Hearing through them I can accept. But I can see through them, and so can the enemies. How and why? I do like that there are no true dead ends in the game that can cause you to be trapped outright. There are single door rooms, but they do feel like they have a tactical reasoning to them.

Overall, I want to recommend this game, but the consistency issues, and the odd controls make this a hard one to say "Yes" to. The price is not too much, and could be a solid yes for some folks, as there is something here, Since the game is presented as a complete experience, I don't see much change to come to the game revisiting the issues described.
