Updates just builds upon an already great roguelike.

Would give 10, but that'd only happen if it had a few features in the melee combat spectrum.


All in all, a great 8.5/10

Amazing game that has it's own type of "skill ceiling".
Will go fairly quick IMO in terms of basic skill to intermediate in terms of how good you get, but from there, it's all about thinking outside the box and learning things your own way!

Gameplay itself is great. Lot's of wholesome meetings with different characters with story'ish content, rewards to earn, different routes to explore/master and so forth.
Graphics are amazing if you like this kind of style. You can change between the old school black and white filter, or you can go colorful though I prefered colors in my playthrough.

In terms of maps, there are TONS. And they get big, I mean BIIIIIG, and I could only imagine what this would be like in VR. There are no other climbing games like it, especially when it comes to the design, layout and previously mentioned, size.
I have never been a fan of rage games like "getting over it", because I don't have the patience, so take my word for it that this game is not like that. You will know once you play it.

If you like what you see in the trailers, then I highly recommend you to get it as it's most likely the kind of game you will enjoy.

This game is downright amazing! Proper live-action experience!
Graphics are CRISP and clean :)
The gameplay itself is nice and unlock system feels very nice and simple!
Sound design is great, guns are VERY beefy sounding and the music is absolutely stunning and fits the atmosphere of the game!

Still missing some of the weapon customization from OG helldivers, but we did get features that was lacking in the first one so I am not gonna complain on this "subjective" issue too much!

Rocky release but the biggest issues seems to have been solved'ish.

Highly recommend it if you like pve games with high coop focus :)
Even better if you manage to drag your friends a long with you!
Community is also super nice so you will have a good time being teamkilled and teamkilling in a midst the chaos, even if you do not know them!

There are no needed microtransactions. The only things you really can buy for real life money in this are on rotation (switches every 3 days I think) in the super store, consisting of 2 armors and 2 helmets.

All of the other stuff WILL have to be earned through playing the game!



9/10 but it will only get better as the story unfolds and new GREAT things unlock.
(looking at you vehicle pack) <3

Aaaah, this is such a gem of a game!
Dev has made some crazy improvement upon the first Synthetik.

The sounds are chefs kiss
Graphics are crisp, and so are the visual effects.
Abilities and items feel a lot more unique, similiar to how the new classes work.

I'd say give it a try.

Multiplayer is a bit laggy though still, but that will hopefully be fleshed out in the future.
Also expect a few bugs every now and then.

Expect to enjoy this a lot if you're a rogue-lite fan!

Strong 7/10

Something's wrong...
I can't seem to progress my character.
Every time I finish building a sleeping quarter and 2-3 small farm plots to extend my empire, I set out for adventure, but a new villager wants to join, and of course I need to expand. Maybe also a few more animal pens while I'm at it.
Anyways, the adventure that I set forth to do i- hmmmm maybe another corn field would provide a few more rations for those 2 guys I took in earlier?

What was I saying? Oh yea game is 13/10 nice houses

Amazing game with hard working devs!
Been on this fantastic ride since it's steam arrival.
Worth every penny and more!

Git gud

Maaan the atmosphere on this game. Where do I start??

This entire game is a gem. It's a living, breathing world you're part of, and it's such a unique take on this as well! It's nostalgic, and reminds me of the good old "Heart of darkness" game in a way, but it's so much more dynamic! The way the world adapts to your choices on each death/sleep cycle.
Eat too much of the fruit in one particular area, and the next few rounds, it's gone, as your species is kinda "eating it all".
This game allows you to play at your own pace, and does a great job keeping this interesting as well! Get ready to die, because you're not gonna tire of it.

Also, DO NOT read up guides regarding how to deal with certain animals etc. This game is so mysterious, and it's meant to be the kind of game where you study and learn from the different animals behaviours. There's SO many of them!

Also, if you get a screenshare program, like "Parsec", you can play coop with friends, as well!

Get it during sale, or not.. It'll still be worth it!

10/10

Very surprised "in the best possible way" how this turned out!

To keep this very short, if you loved Swat 4, you will love this even more! It has the sound quality, bullet impact, and surpression effects, that Swat 4 never had in the first place (which is understandable as it's getting old), plus it's already amazing existing features. Basically Swat 4 on steroids! Also a perfect fit for you if you are into games like Ground Branch and other types of tense CQC combat. It delivers and then some more!

Can't wait to see what other features they are adding to this, as this is ALREADY a good swat 4 successor!

10/10 easily on my favorites tab! Get it while it's hot!

Love it!
