ANEURISM IV

just make this game singleplayer or coop with AI bruh

game was great when it first came out now its kind of died but maybe if they add more roles or another city we'd see a comeback though it feels like they take a long wile now just to update vary little about the game idk what happens internally maybe other projects or not having the same people but the game is in its current state is almost abandoned with one server to two severs with people last time I played If more People were to play it would be fun thought there are the TOXIC players that are just genuine scum. Its Still a PLAYER DRIVEN experience so keep in mined.

Don't recommend The game is really fun and satisfying but there's only one server left with people. Some of the worst rude mean spirited petty people you can fine (maybe thats the point) . There are a lot of nice people who do play this game but those few bad apples try there absolute hardest to ruin the fun. Also a lot of netcode issues

If I could pick an in-between option, I would. I love this game, truly! I've met people there, laughed and enjoyed the mindless grinding for credits and currency. However, I find that there's some issues. Principally, the playerbase. I'm not surprised that the playerbase of such a game is mostly composed by men and therefore toxic... but A4 was really a shock. Between racism, harassment/killing/stalking because of genders, homophobia and god knows what else, it honestly takes a lot from the game. In the same branch, the griefing is monstrous. You want to punch some iron ores? Well hurry up before guy#2838 steals your fresh ingot for himself! Want to do some laundry? Don't you dare look away from it as you fold, because everyone is gonna snatch it! Next is the map(s). The first map is, understandably, more populated. We know our way around, know where to run off to when ♥♥♥♥ goes down. The newer one, however, is TOO MUCH of a maze. So many new things that players have a hard time sticking with because of, in my opinion, the lack of life. That brings me to my third point. Nothing is explained. A new player will hop on the game and be absolutely lost and will have a 50% chance to have someone help them around instead of killing them. This applies to the new map too: what the hell is the distillery? What the hell is the club? How does the new metalworks... work? At least, the wiki is being expended — god forbid you dared try to look up something before the revamp or whatever. This is less of a game building/development matter and more of a community one: nothing is monitored. I know I'm not the only one who's bothered by it, too. It goes hand in hand with the toxic playerbase and I seriously think that a NEUTRAL (because apparently the mods and devs are biased) handful of game mods could be a breath of fresh air. It's lovely seeing this game grow and get new mechanics, buildings, lore, etc. But it's also so exhausting that it's impossible to play more than twice a week. I have a lot of hope for A4 in the future.

I personally really enjoy this game I see some people not recommending this game if you're a woman but I've played this game with two of my friends who both are women and none of them have gotten trolled anymore than I have. Sometimes not at all, the game has its issues for sure but its super fun if you like the dystopian dark RP aspects of the game. They recently added a huge penalty for killing innocent players to many time which requires you to pretty much do the most boring dull task for 30 minutes straight. I've never once been killed while doing nothing, I've had people hit me but the guards typically kill them before they're able to finish it. the hardest part of this game is starting off so you can get an actual job where random grunts (the starting job) aren't just gonna steal your stuff and kill you. As well as learning the map itself, I think this game is very fun the vibe is fantastic the music is great and while it hardly gets anymore updates its very fun if you have a handful of friends to play with. if you like proximity chat games and dont mind the more chaotic nature of a game with zero rules this game is for you its really fun People seem to keep DDOsing the servers which is kind of sucks but im sure some simple ddos protection for the servers is all its gonna really take to fix that aspect. Overall I think this game is very fun if you got a couple of buds to go travel in a pack with this game I can see be very punishing for a solo player.

The other day ive got into a staring contest with a prole, a real close one. after 5 seconds of staring the other prole said "why so close" and 5 more seconds after that we both, IN SYNC pulled out our knifes and started stabbing each other. Then i got home and opened aneurism 4 Jokes over now for real. There are some issues. One I have noticed is that the dealer is not in a good spot even after the buffs. What i imagined, probably with many others is that the dealer is supposed to be a link between the scumbag world and the world above. i was wrong scumbags often dont need trinkets and cuircits, even though they are pretty rare down in their loot pool, because many scumbags stock pile both of these items as proles into their lockers, so they can use them later as scums. scums also often dont want to sell any meaningful contraband. often what happens is that scumbags sell you a shotgun, that you later pass onto someone else up above, just so you can find out few minutes later, that that someone else decided to go on a rampage and slaughtering 3 scumbags. scumbags dont want to sell contraband just so they can get killed by it later. proles are not incentivised into doing chaos with the contraband. the only places they are incentivised to do chaos with it is the place where the contraband originates from. the only real way to play dealer is to gather useful things from the surface and give them to the scum bellow for exchange for small useless contraband like gunpowder or old ammo etc. and trade that for money to the vent. The problem with this is that instead of being the connecting independent infrastructure of the city with its own interests, you become a fetch boy and an extension for the scum. the taxes also dont help. Somehow selling pointless contraband to the vents makes more money then selling real contraband to actual people after all the expenses like taxes.

although i love this game, i cannot reccomend because of its player base and some mechanisc, first, most of the players gonna steal you and you cant do nothing about it, because if you do, you gonna lose "karma" and also most of the players tend to help more of the rot (the antagonists of the game), than the cortex (the cops), so it normally almost every day the server will reset, because the city has rotten and everybody progress will be wiped, this system its very interresting on paper, but very annoing when playing, because at end of the day, everything that you do, will be for nothing, so there are only two ways to play this game right now, or you play like a psycho, stealing from others and being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ menace, or you play like a scumbag (rot), and ruin the server, you can also try to ignore people stealing from you and etc, but this is just meh.

this is america

Run around and die
