Sunkenland Reviews

hey guys, i bought the game 2 days ago and cant play because everytime i press "new game" it blackscreens and i have to shut down my laptop if i want to exit the tab

Not worth it at full price. Doesn't break through the $1 = 1 hour of fun barrier. Pretty good for the first few hours; exploration is interesting, base building & defending raids rewarding. Then, at about 15 hours, it all just becomes a chore. It stops introducing new elements & doesn't encourage mastery of existing ones, it just kind of keeps going. Much more fun in multiplayer but that's more because you're hanging out with a friend than because the game is good. Should get better if the devs keep on it but right now I wouldn't recommend it unless it's at least 25% off.

Skip this one :/ Graphics suck, and the gameplay is grindy and not rewarding enough.

A good mix of several of my favorite game styles (Deep Under, 7 Days to Die, The Forest). If you are a single player beginner, I'd suggest opting out of base attacks until you get familiar with the game's flow. Then DEFINATELY turn them back on! It's a whole new experience...it can be frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it, nothing's sweeter than killing off a raiding party.

the game is HIGHLY under developed for something thats been out for as long as it has, take an indie dev out of the occasion, its WAY underly developed from subtle things like buildings under ground needing to have proper meshing so you don't glitch through the building, the map has been poorly designed, It feels like a bunch of free unity assets just slapped together, Probably the worst purchase i've made so far on steam and i honestly wouldn't make the same mistake i've done with this game, especially if you're considering on buying it because Partiallyroyal was suggesting the game, trust me, its not worth the money they want for it, this is like a $5 game upscaled in marketing to make it seem like its worth $20+ but the janky arse controls that make you feel like you're playing Halo 3 multiplayer on dial up speed and all the bugs riddled in the game aswell as Poorly textured assets the money is better off being saved and purchased on a better title then this janky trash

Fun game, but way to few things to do. Just go scavange, kill and take over islands, nothing more really. Completed in 33 Hours and a lot of the hours were just fun building house and AFK time.

People claiming the game is abandoned is FALSE. Per the Dev's website: "Our team, consisting of 7 members, is currently focused on developing the Sunkenland game. Based mainly in the United States, our diverse team comes from various backgrounds in the gaming industry. With a mix of experience levels, our team combines years of wisdom with fresh ideas. We're excited to expand our team as Sunkenland's needs grow, and we're fully committed to realizing the game's maximum potential. Sunkenland is more than a project; it's the core of our existence, and we're determined to make it the best it can be". Also, people complaining about updates taking a while... ITS 7 PEOPLE. If you want monthly updates you only need to play games with 50+ dev members on the game aka just stick to AAA titles only. Patience is a virtue. Remember Stardew Valley wasn't the game it is today when it first released February 26, 2016... and Stardew isn't the graphics or the complexity of this game.

I absolutely LOVE this game. I have now gone through the game 3 times, meticulously taking over every island. I thoroughly enjoy farming the underwater POI's as much as I do plundering the islands for their resources. The game has changed a lot over the course of the last two years. It's been a pleasure to watch the game develop into what it is now. The music is is on point. Soothing when it needs to be and commanding when it has to be. Excellent sounds overall. Gathering sounds are one of the things that hook me for a game and this one hooked me quick lol Do not let the recent negative reviews get you down about this game....most of them are claiming it has been abandoned without any update news but that is not the case. Vector3 only has 7 on their team so things take time. Thank you devs for bringing me hundreds of hours of enjoyment! Love, Plum

If you've played raft, it is like a mod. Careful - this one is more violent. Mutants and enemies will randomly attack your base. In raft, you could predict when you are likely in danger. In Sunkenland, you must constantly upgrade your armor and weapons in order to keep up. Along with the gathering of food, water and material that you are very familiar with. If you are a casual gamer like me, you might want to try it on easy mode first to get the hang of it. Played easy mode for around 4 hours, then restarted in normal.

Another abandoned game by this development team. They had to close down their old studio just to rebrand and do the same thing again. No update since last year. Anyone thinking about buying this game please reconsider. It has no future with this team and will never be finished.
