Выглядит игра забавно, а играется потняво. Пока что меня еще пинают толпой в лесу, как это было и в демке, но появился хаб с прокачкой, так что надеюсь, что фарм в конечном итоге прекратит мои унижения.

Ok.. so I paid $3.50. It's not a bad game.. but it feels a little limited in weapon selections and a smidge grindy. I don't know that it adds much to the genre, nor does it do what it does well. That said, no issues.. wasn't horrible. I got my money's worth out of the gameplay with 6 hours before I wonder why I even keep playing it.

This was a NO for me. The developer launched the game, did a couple patches in the first month, then abandoned the game. And it shows. I can't imagine the reviews for this game on console will be good. On Steam, you can see there's a lot of positive reviews...for people with 2 or 3 hours of gameplay. There were odd design decisions made in this game and for me, they just don't work out. So many developers have a vision for the game and it doesn't include asking the players "Is this fun?" Or they do, and people say Yes, then stop playing. In a lot of games I say the developer couldn't see the forest for the trees: dealing with every little function that has to go right for a game to work can be a lot. It's hard to dive into those details hour after hour then also maintain the ability to see your game AS A GAME. At a certain point it just becomes a weight around your neck that you can't wait to get off, get paid, and move on to your next project. But with some more work (or feedback) this game could have made 100x as much money. 1,000 sales versus 10,000 is an easy target to hit when you care about your game.
