Caverns: Lost Sky Reviews

Game is broken, can't start, CRASH right after hitting ENTER!! Plz fix it now :(

I am enjoying this game a lot! The caverns themselves are fun and exciting. Tunneling to new caverns is slow paced, but relaxing. The game has improved frequently and the devs quickly fixed a couple bugs I was having. Gameplay tips: 1. Use stat points in the beginning on strength for capacity. 2. Save often. 3. Prioritize crafting pick axes and then weapons before any other items. Always carry at least a few spare pick axes because they break fast. 4. Find a torch before tunneling to fully appreciate your tunnels.

The premise of this game is very exciting. I am particularly impressed by the obvious power of the game's proprietary engine - it suggests the game has a great future as the developers continue to add features. I do have a few suggestions to improve usability ... the "hints" that scroll by when you launch the game need to be, at the least, slowed down a bit - they go by too fast to read completely. Better yet, give the player the ability to control how fast they scroll by. Also, eventually adding user programmability to the keyboard controls will be a great addition. All in all, for a pre-alpha release, this is an exciting RPG with enormous potential.

Upon death game totally relaunches, being forced into third person camera only is annoying, why not add first person? Game looked fun, but so far it isn't. It seems very laggy, lots of stutter. I have no problem with stutter or lag in other games. There are no video or graphics settings for different resolutions, only a full screen on or off. I do not currently recommend this, but will hold on to it and keep checking back.

It's very satisfying to dig and tunnel to discover massive unexplored caverns with fancy chests, resources, and to awkardly encounter what seems like a family gathering of many challenging enemies. You never know what's in each cavern you're tunneling into. Each cavern is wholely unqiue in it's layout, size and what's inside. Some caverns are a lot more valuable than others or substantially more deadly. The game will keep you on your toes when you hear the creepy noises of the powerful and quick enemies or when you have to carefully navigate around treacherous plant species. The leveling and skill system is rewarding. As you level you find better items, including better recipes for crafting which are argulably the most valuable type of item, and Strato improves greatly as you use your leveling points as you please for the various stats. The crafting system is smooth and let's you craft much needed items on the go. There are many command features including cheats that are listed and available, although I have only tried out a couple of them as I usually like to play games without using cheats or mods. Watch out for accidentally falling off large cliffs, getting too close to colourfully harmful mushrooms and occasionally not being able to tunnel away from or defeat swarms of enemies fast enough. It is a lot fun and I am excited to continue discovering better and better items and more crazy caverns. Highly recommended.
