The Dark Survivors Bewertungen

I can not recommend this game so far. Im actually afraid the genre is currenty at its low point so far. And its partially this games fault. Not a single good title atm. only stuff to wait for to release 1 by 1 over the next months. The description seems misleading. sounds like the next big thing taking the genre to another level. Lets mention Diablo bc you can equip items? More likely just bc its still a popular name that sells even tho the games themself stink since part 2... Havnt seen anything survival related either so far. Which was advertised, but hey whats survival anyhow? An rpg except the devs were too poor or lazy for a story and instead gave you the "hunger games" drink/food mechanic to keep your underdeveloped mind busy? That kind of survival? Hope ill see none of that... UI/options This title has managed to set a new negative record when it comes to the ammount of settings. You can literally change the music/sound effects volume. Sure, theres a couple of titles that have no genre specific settings at all. But at least they tend to have resolution, windowed/fullscreen, vsync etc. From my experience this game will rank somewhere in between average and below. Havnt seen a single title with such a bad UI that ended up being an overall above avarage game so far. The inventory feels just batman. You cant drag and drop items, the "equip"/"move" functions are highly annoying. Half the time they dont even seem to work as you would expect. I couldnt read half the items descriptions sometimes bc there is a "compare" window right on top of the item in your inventory. I could go on and on, but this belongs into a post to the devs, not a review imo. Btw. this is the 2nd title in the genre that has managed to get me killed bc the game kept running while i was still in the menues. Not quite anoher record, but at least a close 2nd place there. GAMEPLAY Feels unenjoyable. Its a standard case of i feel too slow and weak. 1st char comes with the usual skill that could only kill 1-3 mobs standing right in front of you. While not being a twin stick shooter and all that usual bs. You keep facing left and right just to hit something in that direction. I grew up in the 80s where this was the newest latest and best we had. Nowdays this is just highy annoying in 9/10 cases. The 1st type of mobs was just too tanky. More of a bulletsponge situation with literally the games 1st trashmobs. Instead of mowing things down the way you would expect. I literally spent 10 min running away and grabbing every HP potion i could find while slowly and painfully killing one monster every now and then. GFX The char looks like out of rogue genesia The 1st type of mobs are the mushroom people from err... VS? scarlet tower? (Ill figure it out some time) EDIT: MY bad its ofc rogue genesia again. Seems like they just copy pasted the RG looks, but none of the content or quality. PROGRESSION So far none that im aware of. I dont even have a char selection. No map selection either. I havnt seen an archive, bestiary, menues to list challenges, any sort of meta progression or other unlockables so far. Not even steam achievements to at least kill some time. (EDIT: It seems that you can combine or transmute several items into a new one at a rate of 5:1 Which is just too much imo with such a limited inventory.) If the devs decide to make the game more playable early on, things could feel quite deecent imo. Which is the saddest part. Just wasting potential for i dare to say no good reason. You can loot and equip plenty of gear, it comes with different stats, rarities and all the usual things. Sadly 9/10 items i found were above my level, and i had little chance to make it anywhere with the starting gear. SOUND The sound seems quite nice. On the other hand i would not be too amazed if it came again from RG or god knows where. How bout a nintendo game for those who dare?^^ Will update as i keep playing.
