Bad combat

I feel like I`ve robbed some poor guy`s house down to the last nail and left 2 bucks on the floor as a moral compensation. Yeah, there`s even no FoV slider and the keybinds are locked, but I just can`t be mad at this game - it`s cheaper than a pack of cigs, and... Lives up to some quality standard? I didn`t expect that, for sure. It has its own style even if it`s a Starfield parody. Overall, good luck at development - I`ll definetly be there after the game is polished a bit, maybe even throw some more money if you put a donations link somewhere.

From the beggining the game seems unique , It has a caracter which is good Movement isnt that great but it works But the Combat is not that good a shotgun takes about 3 shots to down an enemy maybe this has to be fixed In rest it looks enjoyable but ill play more to see

Enjoying it so far! Please just work on performance optimization. More graphics options etc. FSR would be great too.

I am currently playing this game on a notebook device with a 3060 graphics card set to medium settings, and I'm experiencing a frustrating frame rate of only 15-30 FPS. This performance is unacceptable and makes the game nearly unplayable. I expected better optimization, especially given the hardware capabilities. The graphics and gameplay are promising, but without a smooth frame rate, it's difficult to enjoy the experience fully. The screen shakes while running I still haven't figured out how to use the gun I found The game is crude, some game mechanics are very controversial and often inconvenient

I'll start off brutally honest. This game is rough around the edges in a lot of places that would normally be deal breakers for me. However, with that said, it's also only 8$ when not on sale. That price makes this game, more than anything, incredibly endearing and I'm here for it. I've played a lot of games worse than this that sell for 20$ more often than not, yet this is less than half that. However, this also isn't listed as "Early Access", so there is the solid question of how much will change for the better. So, with all that in mind, let's get into it. The good: -Surprisingly nice graphics -Shockingly nice interiors for buildings -Fantastic sliding mechanic that's simply fun -Overall UI doesn't have that indie title crust that many do. It looks pretty nice -References that are familiar to most gamers and add some nice personality. -Looting. So, so much looting. And you're not even punished for it! The game rewards it! The so-so: -Performance leaves a bit to be desired on a solid rig. (RTX 2080, i9, 64gbs RAM) -Audio is fine. Ambient music isn't overbearing and there's a radio feature, but VA and weapons sound less than stellar -Flashlight is almost good. It cuts off far too soon, is bright enough to function during the day, but is an eyesore indoors at night. Just looks unfinished. -The map. It visually looks nice, but doesn't seem to let you remove markers you place by clicking. The bad: -The shotgun. It's terrible. Very unsatisfying to use and not a very pleasing design. -The saving is downright atrocious. You either are forced to save at a bed or play on Easy mode to save whenever you want. I lost 20 minutes of progress by clicking on "Quicksave". That loads the quicksave, which is not actually a quicksave at all, rather than quicksaving. You can't do that on normal difficulty. Very poorly thought out. -Save slots are buggy and all identical. They have the exact same name of Save Slot 1 followed by how long you've played, yet all 3 of my saves were inaccurately timed, making them all read as "11". Each save was about 5 minutes apart. The most recent was also at the bottom of the list, not the top. -There is a persistent white dot in the top left of my screen that seems to be a bug of the HUD. It's actually visible in the trailer now that I know to look for it. It vibrates and sometimes brightens as you look around, which is really just weird. Seriously, look at the trailer and you'll see the white dot at the VERY top left. Can't unsee it once you notice it at night. -Can't rebind controls -No FOV slider -Sensitivity slider is a bit lacking in terms of range -No subtitles for your character's dialogue. Not an issue, but still worth noting. -Textures don't seem to always load correctly with everything on Medium settings. That, or some textures are VERY low resolution on medium where as others look nice and crisp. Overall: It's 8$. Seriously, that's so little for a game that seems to just be a passion project. I've played very little and already run into a lot of good and bad traits, but unless things get drastically worse, it's hard to say no to this cute indie title for this price. I'll play more and update this if anything else changes or comes up of note, but I wanted to both warn and encourage people with the most immediately obvious flaws they'll encounter. I really hope that this game does get some Quality of Life updates, but even if it doesn't, it's still an endearing indie title that's clearly not out to make a quick buck. I can and do respect that. I really adore the references that I've come across so far. There are a lot in a very brief time, but none really feel forced. They just make it that much more personable. I enjoy that the game rewards you for being an absolute loot goblin. From what I've seen, there's no weight limit, so just L O O T. Eat the cheese, gain permanent HP with the totally-not-nuka-cola, and sometimes shoot a funny mudcrab. It's charming, it's not overselling itself, and it really seems like you get what you pay for. I'm really glad to have been able to catch this on launch. I don't often get to review fresh uncut gems like this. Hopefully, they give it just a bit more attention to really let this diamond escape the rough.
