Maybe I'm missing something, but this got stale really quick for me. Definitely needs like a skill tree or something else for progression.

While i like the general concept of the game and i generally like this game style, there is simply too many things missing or wrong. First of all, there's no leveling / progression. You just pick up some ore in order to craft better tools and be able to mine better ore. That's it. Standard "ore/metal" item progression: Tin - Copper - Iron - .... There's just one statistics "resistance"... you get few "armor slots" like gloves, chest, hat, and shoulders... and each armor piece has certain amount of "resistance"... quite "primitive" system i would say.. (considering that game is developed for 5 years already ?? Mines are extremely dark, and you can choose to hold small torch to lighten the area around or your sword (which causes everything to go super dark again).. i mean i get it... it's mines and stuff... and yes i know i can put my torch on the floor during fight and then pick it up... it's just bit tedious to do it... No leveling, No classes, No "skill tree" of any kind. Just plain "hack-n-slash" i would say...

gonna be real here i see alot of negative comments saying no updates in a long time etc. but i brought this game when it was like just 1 biome i think if i remember correctly that was ages ago now. and i remember back then some people being skeptical about whether updates would happen and well we are here now and so many updates have happened since then so maybe some of you just not been around long enough. also the game is good i have not played for awhile because i been waiting for more stuff to be added but jumping back on today thank you devs :)

Muito divertido e subestimado.

Help me please!!!! Splattercat made me come here by putting out the video. Now my wife is mad I haven't left my computer room in days!!!

BTS is not Dynamite. *** BTS has the DNA of a knee-capped rogue-like Core Keeper clone. Extraction is one of the big mistakes of modern gaming. It takes gameplay and structure that would be fine and makes it worse. It's a niche genre for multiplayer games for very specific players. There's an audience, but it's not a mass market idea; a terrible idea for a massive-budget reboot of a single player 1990's Mac FPS game let alone a mining roguelike. The games owe a lot to action roguelikes, with poor choices applied. Imagine you were playing Hades, but if you didn't choose to exit before dying you lose all the meta upgrades you would have gained, plus also had to the meta upgrades you chose to bring in. *** BTS plays fine, if not Butter smooth. It's twin stick via keyboard mouse, comparable to Duckov. It says it can gamepad, there's too much drag and drop management to make that good. It's kind of janky, but the jank if more player-friendly than clunky, like being able to melee attack through solid walls. The loops is OK, but too dry. You generate a new Core Keeper-like world each run with biomes. You'll have to mine your way through the map like Core Keeper, but the floor doesn't have pits, just water you can walk on. You're going to be seeing a lot of the same things over again. Exploration procedurally gen maps need interesting things to find. BTS has places hidden in the rock, but none of them are a real MIC Drop. The actual extraction isn't good. Instead of having to get somewhere, you have to meet objectives. This part is easy enough. But you have to fight waves of enemies to get out. This encourages you to press your luck even less. You have to be able to take a few hits to leave, and you might just have to run back to easier areas to get healing so you can safely leave. It takes too long to get shops open if you can't rescue NPCs. You must rescue them to move up in crafting and they're a ways out. They're also surrounded by mini-mazes of enemies, sometimes with enemy spawners and guys who can do cheap hits. It's cheese or be cheesed. And again you may have to buff up to kill them. The crafting is standard get the ore then the better ore, but you don't base-build your way up. Here the game feels so much like Core Keeper with depth taken out, and maybe the exploration and combat could be enough if it was richer and if this is a roguelike. That extraction structure (and inventory) forces you to stop having fun all the time. They could make exploration richer but you're still going to have to run away when there's a huge map to explore, and when you run you have to start over. In Core Keeper, you can push because you can always get back, and try to pick up your stuff and pick up where you left off. In a Roguelike, you have to keep pushing and you keep the rewards you earned. Extraction games tell you that you do have to go home. The best Extraction, while maybe not maximizing the game, get around this with short runs. BTS requires huge runs and if you get punished you have to do so much boring stuff to have fun again. Why punish fun? In the end, BTS says you do not have Permission to Dance.

Viciously unfun dying simulator that decided to not give the player any evasive options besides slowly walking away from enemies that are aggressive, relentless and deadly accurate. Do you like losing everything you spent an hour and a half gathering because of a single cave-in, or because your attack passed straight through an enemy hitbox? Boy howdy, is this game for you.

Saw this at Magfest and met the team. Decided to get it after playing the demo. Lots of fun!
