UPDATE: THEY DO GIVE YOU A WEAPON BUT ITS ON THE GROUND AWAY FROM YOUR PERSON!!!
My Thoughts:
So, there are plenty of things about this game that I could talk about. I received this game from someone who didn't want it so they had given me the key to redeem and try out. Is this game a bad concept? Absolutely not, but there are plenty of things about this game that I would say makes the $19.99 USD price-tag very high for what the game truly is. This game seems to have no story-line according to the description and what I have played so far. This game has you start off as a random person in the middle of a ongoing fight between what looks like humans and shadow-people with bright glowing eyes. Everyone will attack you on sight without really giving you time to find any weapons to defend yourself; this is due to the fact that you start out with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and your health and hunger always starts out at 80% full capacity. You walk forward towards shipping containers and a building in front of you. You decide to walk to the right side of the building to find a singular bag with only 3 ITEMS and i haven't found any type of weapon OTHER THAN GRENADES each time I search through one of these bags. That alone doesn't make sense, since the bots always starts out with rifles and stuff so you are already outnumbered, without any guns in your inventory, with low nutritional statistics, and the enemies already have the upper-hand. You realize this, you freak out, try to kill them with the grenades that you had found, and you see the people are STILL STANDING AFTER IT HAD WENT OFF NEXT TO THEIR FEET. The enemies proceed to blow your brains out so you try to find a "Restart" button with no avail. The only buttons you find in the pause menu are "Resume" and "Main Menu". You think to yourself "Okay, this is okay. I'll just restart by going to the menu and starting a new game. Well sorry, you can't do that. When you click "New Game", you spawn in already dead as it DOESN'T restart you completely so your character dies as soon as the intro animation starts. So now you are forced to completely close the game USING TASK MANAGER to close the game and you are forced to relaunch it through steam or the launch icon for the game. So cool, you restarted a game, how about we go and get you a gun from this bag? Well the bag contains nothing but possibly health, food, grenades, and water; BUT NO GUN. So you take your loss and you want to continue on with your very short-lived adventure but sorry, you can't find a button in the world that will close that menu. COME TO FIND OUT, THAT BUTTON ISN'T F LIKE IT SHOULD BE, ITS FREAKING TAB. TAB! Oh well, you try to continue but you die again and you are back to square one. So you try to find out how to use those very USEFUL GRENADES that you had gotten by revisiting the bag beside that building you are spawned by. Well, looking into the control options, you can't bind anything yourself and it will only tell you how to do things like interact which is F BUT IT DOESN'T WORK TO LEAVE INTERACTIVE MENUS, and basic movement options. So you press every key on your keyboard and you find out that the Grenade button is G but throwing them is like chucking a FREAKING BOULDER so you throw the grenade and when you do, it doesn't kill the enemies so you still die.
Conclusion:
This game looks pretty for a FPS game from a smaller developer; however, the game is very broken, unfinished, the menus don't work right, and this game should not have the $19.99 USD price-tag until more care is put into the game itself. Do I feel like it could improve? Hell yeah! I feel like the developers have something going on here but they really need to try and improve every aspect of this game. If they do that, my review will change as I have hope in this game, as long as the developers fix some of the most basic things.
