good game

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.

In order:
Makes nights darker, also makes NVGs darker. Brilliant
Snitch circles aren't very fun
Cant smoke cigs
Let me buy a UAZ with an NSV
let me roleplay walk with my gun lowered
Gunshot audio blows
someone put birds in my shoes
frogs are too loud
Nighttime sucks. Gamma to abusable Add the ir iluminater to NVGs that have them so picth black doesnt blind you.
No local only squad radio is lame
money is to damn heavy

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.

Honestly if i update this review every time they ♥♥♥♥ up i would remain typing forever. Its like they took the tarkov masterclass in making bad decisions.

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...
