Listening to your customers was definitely the right move by making this DLC free and issuing refunds for people that actually bought this DLC. Keeping your customers happy should always be your highest priority as happy customers will buy more of your products. :)

What a fantastic game. They built a sturdy and well-made game that plays great and has a lot of quests with a well written plot. It's basically a 2D Gothic-like and it is such a joy to play.

$7 for one single mission. Hey guys, lets start charging $20 for 3 missions, what a bargain! Greed has gone off the rails and crashed into the consumer's hands, and they are not happy!

Excellent game. Story, graphics, controls, even the combat is decent enough. I am enjoying it so far and I highly recommend picking it up if you enjoy a well made game that will keep you interested.

I am enjoying this game immensely so far. Only have about 3 hours into this review and I absolutely having a blast. The systems are well thought out and there is a lot of layers and depth to this game. I can already tell that I will be hooked all the way until the very end. Lot of time and effort went into making this game. Absolutely worth picking up.

Shady Developer. Gives away the game and then takes it back. Seems like they don't want more customers down the road. :P

This game is an open-world sandbox game, similar to Terreria, Starbound, and the like. You can get randomly generated small, medium or large worlds in single-player or multiplayer modes. Lots of effort went into the crafting and gathering portion of the game, as well as the world itself and all the monsters you can encounter. Sometimes I die too easily, but usually that's my own fault, I need to be more careful.

I enjoy how much there is to do in this game, you can discover so many different monsters, items to gather, ways to die, and so on that you can play in one world for a good while. The music is pleasant and the sound effects aren't bad, kind of sparse though. The graphics aren't bad, and I like that even if you have a higher resolution monitor you can use zoom to make things easier to see, otherwise the world is way too small at the higher resolutions.

I consider this game a well polished and interesting hybrid rpg/sandbox/open-world game in the same vein as others that came before it. If you enjoy these kind of games, it is worth the asking price for it. Also the developers are active after this game left early access, so they definitely care about polishing the game even further. Overall this game is well worth money and I highly recommend it. :)


7.8/10

1. Great open-world sandbox gameplay, with lots to do and see.
   
2. RPG style system where you level up and can learn different things to craft and gather inside the game world.
   
3. Talent system to allow to level up all kinds of different skills and abilities you can use.
   
4. A massive amount of content already in the game.
   
5. I like the zoom feature with higher resolution graphic settings it allows your character and the world you are in to be bigger and easier to see.

1. UI needs a little more polish, it seems that items arent well organized and quantity of items for crafting is not very obvious.
   
2. On multiplayer, when I do an attack or receive an attack, it seems to lag for some reason, so the projectiles or melee attack stutter somewhat. I think this just may be related to a lagging server.
   
3. Best to play this game on a keyboard and mouse. So far the controller is hard to use in comparison.
   
4. Game gets a little repetitve after awhile, but it keeps it interesting with some variety.
   
5. The craft system could use some more intuitive UI adjustments and polish, overall it's pretty decent though.

Zombie Party is an enjoyable and carnage filled Rogue-lite Action Arcade and Action-RPG game, via the different 4 modes available. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into the mechanics, with the RPG and Dungeon modes. Both are unique and have lots of variety to keep the game interesting.

There are a lot of bosses and extensive challenges that makes this game have a ton of replayability. It progressively gets harder in the waves you encounter in the RPG mode. The Dungeon mode is neat in that it gives you more of a dungeon crawl, so it's a little slower than the standard action or rpg modes.

Overall you can really get a lot out of this game with the amount on content already included. With the total carnage and an unending wave of enemies to destroy, you really get a lot of content and neverending arcade action. The game definitely has a lot going for it and I hope that it gets fine-tuned some more down the road. My only gripes is that a lot of the color from the background and foreground seem to get melded together as the action gets crazy, causing you to lose vision of the prospective horde of zombies and particles to avoid. Also the multiplayer still needs more work.

If you love insane action games with some rogue-lite and rpg-lite style gameplay, then this game is for you!


7.3/10

1. A crazy amount of guns at your disposable, with tons of upgrades to make a huge variety of options.
   
2. Lots of options means lots of replayability, Also tons of great fun to be had with others in multiplayer.
   
3. Good old arcade value gameplay, with lots of updates to give the game even more content in the future.
   
4. The developers are constantly working on the game, so it gets lots of updates.
   
5. Gamepad works great so far, with very tight controls. It also already has leaderboards,

1. Some of the colors and weapon effects seem to get blended together with the amount of monsters with their own attacks and effects, causing a lack of distinct targets that can be seen.
   
2. The menu options need some refinement, they are a little hard to read. The text blends too much with the background.
   
3. Multiplayer mode still needs work, it can lag for some reason.
   
4. Needs to get a story for RPG mode to make things interesting, maybe some humorous style or combination. :)
   
5. Early access, so it has some bugs, but that is how things are in that stage of development. It is still pretty well done so far, even if its not complete yet.

This game is currently Alpha but it feels almost like a pre-alpha. The terraforming is an awesome concept and I have played with it a lot. Also the crafting system works pretty well so far.

The graphics engine and artwork is decent and well done in my opinion, so I hope they build on that and do some more work on the different character models and animation.

I tried the multiplayer and it didnt work very well for some reason, I imagine the developer is still working out the kinks for it.There are a lot of bugs and issues I have seen so far when trying to do things within the game. I noticed sometimes my controls get stuck and I have to restart the game to get it to work again. Overall for a sandbox game, it seems to be more of a concept with not much content other than the terraforming and crafting. Still needs a lot of work in my opinion and I would be happy to revisit this review later after the game gets more updates.


6.1/10

1. The graphics and the world environment are well done.
   
2. The terraforming is a neat mechanic.
   
3. I like that it has some fantasy RPG elements.
   
4. It is constantly being updated and the developers seem to care about feedback.
   
5. The game doesnt have any issues running on my PC with a Geforce GTX 770.

1. It's an Alpha, so it has lots of bugs.
   
2. Sometimes my controls get stuck for some reason, not sure if its a bug or if I am doing something wrong.
   
3. The user interface and controls are not really well implemented currently.
   
4. Its hard to get started, since there isn't much explanation of how things work exactly.
   
5. Not much content yet, but this is an Alpha.

For an early access game, this has a lot of potential. I like the idea and implementation of how you can use 9 different elements as building blocks to make things. There is a lot of variety with creating things in that regard. Although there isn't much of a working tutorial, just small instructions on how to start building things. Plus the AI of the enemies isn't that great yet, but since it's still early access, I imagine that will be worked on some more.

This game is similar in style to games like Minecraft and the like, which is fun if you like building stuff. So far there isn't a whole lot to do, and the AI seems to be lacking as well. But, I do like that it already has Steam Workshop enabled and it is working well in the game. You can create unique things with the 9 elements you have at your disposal. Another neat feature is being able to play in multiplayer with other people and combine your work on creating stuff with the elements and so on.

I may revisit this review after this game gets a lot more polish, but for now, its pretty barebones and still needs more variety of enemies, better AI, a better tutorial, some guides in-game would be nice, some more implementation of workshop options.


6.0/10

1. The 9 elements used to build things
   
2. The graphics seem well done for what there is so far
   
3. Interesting base of mechanics for what is to come
   
4. You can create things out of what you build
   
5. Has workshop capability already

1. Combat seems to be lacking
   
2. No tutorial, just basic instructions on how to build stuff to get you started
   
3. Not a lot of music variety
   
4. AI needs a lot more work
   
5. Some major clipping issues in the game models
