ANEURISM IV

I have really been trying to enjoy this game... But there is just so many trolls who come around and steal whatever you been grinding for (I know it's part of the game) or just kill you for no reason because they don't care about the penalties while I do, don't get me wrong I've met some cool people about 20% of the time while the other half are trolls who don't care they simply get onto the game to make your experience more difficult on-top of that even as a scum or cortex I have my own team kill me for no apparent reason! Meaning I have to grind all over again if I don't have enough Anamnecytes to regain the job I have picked. The player base is already low enough this is just killing it IMO and I just purchased this game not long ago. When I got this game I had thought it was going to be some sort of RP type of game but that's not the fact at all people will kill you with no interaction! I'm not sure if I can recommend this game in the current state it's in, yes I do enjoy it but I also wish I never purchased it... If you can meet the right people then wow this game is amazing but then again that's been very, very rare for my case.

I cannot reccomend this game in the state it's in. Servers are nearly dead, the devs took months for an "update" which changed some values, and made it harder to actually get the intresting classes via grinding for amnecytes. For example: Doing laundry is one of the most tedious tasks, being slow with a low payout for cytes. Yet earlier this year it was increased, making it actually viable to do. They just lowered it again, for the reason of "balance". Combat has remained god awful, classes like the dealer are still just a waste overall (despite having an amazing concept, how does one ruin the execution of an illegal drug dealer in a dystopian city?). Do not buy this game unless the devs somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat and regain all of their lost playerbase, fix stupid balance changes, and for the love of god add more classes.

its Almost gone the way of the Dodo now but it was funny af during its peak, defo some intresting characters playing it, some people could get genuine work in voice acting and others are likely on a one way trip to prison for hate crimes and way worse. 1984 the game mixed with Dredd is what I would have called this. Shame its dead the potential was there and they pissed it all away and divided the already small community in half by adding a new map and stupid features that didnt add anything worth while, safe to say its stone dead but once there was a fun game here driven by an almost sane community. You'll be missed AIV

Fun game but its dead most of the time, also just terrible people on the game

Popped into a server that I had zero minutes of playtime in. Someone gave me a pickaxe so I could murder a singer outside of the laundromat and paid me afterwards. I then go mad with bloodlust and murder 3 miners, and a doctor that teabagged one of them. I then chase another man to a square filled with people surrounding 2 cops, at this point I have gained an accomplice. I give in to the bloodlust and attack an officer and incite MOB VIOLENCE IN THE CROWD. I die screaming revolution and become a slave. I alt F4 and play a different game.

i do heavily enjoy this game but definitely not for sandbox enjoyers, in my experience this game is frustrating when you are just trying to play the game and a random loser shoots you in the back of the head and calls you a slur or something, but if you're successfully moving on through fates and you're having a good time, absolutely a great time, personal experience the Banker has the most eventful interactions with people because you are basically a walking talking bank, most enjoyable fate in this game i think is the Sanitar, you get to do cop things, shoot people, fix broken things, and clean the streets of corpses and the rot, fun time, people hate Saniar though, so be careful anyways i do recommend this game for those who enjoy pvp, fun game Glory to the Cortex!!! (a good friend gifted me this game, none the less i do think this game is worth the 13)

Honestly, as enjoyable as this game can be when played with friends, or at least decent individuals in random servers, my overall fun experience is often tampered by trolls and generally scummy people. The game itself is quite fun, but the playerbase often muddies the waters. Normally I'd say the devs need to do a better job at policing the servers, but considering the game is supposed to police itself, I find it more prudent to call this a flawed game design. Other players can steal your rations, metal, plants, food, and other items with no punishment. Cortex, too. If you dare fight back, they can just kill you. Cortex often also get in your way at the mines to make you accidentally hit them so they can kill you for anamnecytes. Slaves often steal the boulder you've been pushing and you get nothing. And killing others for no reason seems to be totally legal, so getting randomly killed out of nowhere is not uncommon. Friends often group up to play together in one server, which is fine and all, until they start being trolls and exhibiting malicious behavior. What are you supposed to do when a group of trolls starts targeting you, spamming voice chat, shooting you for no reason, cornering you and pushing you around, and they have a pocket medic, pocket banker, and a pocket limitator with them? It really sucks wanting to play a game after a difficult or tiring day and being presented with all that. I will continue playing the game from time to time with friends, but the devs really need to focus on upgrading the supposed self-policing systems if they're hoping to make the game more accessible and fun. I'm sure the servers would be a lot more populated if the game did a better job at combating and discouraging the trolls. Make stealing rations & other items give you amnesty to kill the thief. Hardcode it so hitting cortex in the mines doesnt immediately mark you for limitation unless you keep doing it. Make it so attacking others for no reason in front of cameras marks you for limitation, and you lose anamnecytes if you kill them. Make it so the amount of anamnecytes you get per boulder you push as a slave depends on how long you pushed for, to avoid other slaves stealing them from you. Maybe even consider repurposing the commendation/decommendation system & make it available for all to use, so malicious players are marked permanently. Again, ANIV is fun when people aren't malicious, but the game needs to be updated to better combat the trolls.
