Xeno Last Stand Reviews

Not sure if this is a scam or somebody just making a game for the first time but either way its pretty unplayable at this point. If the dev is someone that is making a game for the first time I would be glad to give more details on whats wrong with it but I do not want to put in the effort if it is just a scam.

[h1]Warning - Game does not work! Do not buy![/h1] [code]Update 2022-07-27: Yesterday the price was dropped from $5 to $0.99 without any kind of explanation. The developer hasn't said a single word since release. The review refers to a high price tag that is now significantly lower, but I still think it's too expensive.[/code] Good lord, what an abomination of a "game". I mean it was clear from the promo video that it'd be a stinker but it's much worse in reality. Literally [i]nothing[/i] works as intended, and the parts that do ... where to begin? First off, this should have been never released as it's not even pre-alpha material, but [i]if[/i] a release was absolutely neccessary it should have gone into Early Access. Hell, even the developer knows that, because there's a shamefully small paragraph underneath the system requirements telling us: [quote]This game in still being made, your will notice, lack of content, bugs, and over all some issues while playing this game, the game will be "Player Made" meaning, what players suggest will be added to the game if it fits the style of the game, I hope all player's give feed back for things they would like to see in the game, any feed back helps[/quote] [b]That's what Early Access is for![/b] Right now the game looks like any full release on Steam and players can expect it to work and have meaningful content. Omitting the Early Access tag on an incomplete mess like this - and [i]knowing[/i] it's incomplete - means you're trying to scam people. The game starts in a window which, unless you switch to fullscreen, doesn't render the entire interface. There are no settings, apparently they are "coming soon" because Unity makes it [i]really[/i] difficult to implement settings, you know? Seems there's a multiplayer mode on the horizon as well but of course the menu is a placeholder. Please, dear developer, don't waste your time on learning Mirror before the single-player version is actually in a playable state. The game systems are built on RPG Builder, an asset I've seen mishandled too many times already, and of course it's a complete mess again. Combat is a terribly janky affair as the player object's RigidBody has not been constrained on the X/Z axis, making them spin around themselves while fighting. Same happens to the enemies, by the way - the wolves stand on their head more than their legs. Animation is laughable, hits don't have any kind of feedback, auto attacks mostly don't work. If you die, you get respawned in town but more often than not your body remains laying on the ground. You still can move though and sometimes you get up again but at that point, fighting becomes impossible. The trailer clearly shows the world building was done using Synty Studios assets, which is fine, but the visuals of the released build do not match the trailer at all. It looks like the game plays on the lowest graphics setting and you can't change it, so the game looks like [i]this[/i]: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2839815562 Yeah. So much for not releasing into Early Access ... By the way, the game doesn't even bother to save your progress. Sorry, dev. I understand it's your first project and you're probably proud to have released it on Steam, but in this state, for this price, this is just completely inacceptable and should in fact be removed by Valve before people get scammed out of their money. It's okay to learn development, it's somewhat acceptable to release a half-baked project into Early Access [i]if[/i] you are able and willing to improve it, but not like this.
