Corma: The Next Level

Saw a video about this game by Let's Game It Out, and thought it looked like a neat little survival and building game just in need of a few little bug fixes. For whatever reason, what seemed like a playable game has been scrapped. As the game stands now, the only thing to do is a tutorial level you can't beat- there's not enough resources laying around to craft tools, and punching rocks/trees has no effect on them. The deer don't seem to care whether or not you sneak, and are rather fast. I managed to get a few punches in when their pathfinding got confused, but they seem to be invulnerable or else very tough to kill. This game seems like it has potential still, but needs work. In addition to being able to gather resources, sprinting and jumping would be nice. I'll update this review if the game receives some updates that address this.

First of all, the game is in Early Access AND is free-to-play. You really need to take that into consideration when playing this game for the first time. It is a little bare-bones right now but really has excellent potential to be a great survival game and/or PVP game. This game has better optimization than most of early access games that I have experienced playing and it looks really good. The developer is planning on adding a lot more content to the game in the future. In fact, the developer is almost always present in the official Corma discord and actively communicates with it members. You can really tell that he is listening to the people who have tested out his game and is working towards making the game even better. It is very easy to gather materials in this game. I like that there are particular tools that are used for gathering each type of material. I like that there are multiple types of ore, which are each used for certain crafting recipes. The crafting system is really easy to use and will be really cool once more items are added. It looks like the developer is adding crafted clothes and medical supplies in the future. I enjoyed building a house and look forward to seeing furniture and home decor added to the game. A couple of notes...maybe consider adding more animals spawns. I played for almost two hours and never saw an animal. Also, logically speaking, I feel that the wooden chest should hold more supplies than your personal backpack. Being able to move and rotate building materials after placing them would also be great. Lastly, maybe add a compass to the game overlay. I understand the concept of having to build a map, but maybe add a compass so you can tell which way you are wsalking. Overall, for a game that has only been out for a few hours, was completely created by one person, and is free-to-play... I like it :) I am very excited to see where this game goes, especially if it has PVP added in the future. It seems like a possibility since you can create gun and ammo in the game. There are a lot of survival games out there that already exist and are very well polished. It will be interesting to see if Corma can not only compete but also add a little something to the genre that no other survival game has.

For a work in progress survival game. Its not bad. Not understanding all of the negative reviews. any work in progress games deserves an honest review. I suggest you download it, try it for yourself and dont expect a finished game. I had alot of fun while playing this game and will continue to do so while it advances.

As my record time shows I dig this game! I love building games. survival games. hunting, cooking, and crafting games. I really like relaxing nature based Zen games. Unfortunately, I don't like pvp games much. All these things I find in this game and consistent work is going on everyday. The Developer is very responsive and aggressively addressing issues, adding tutorial(s), building and stableizing an official hosted multiplayer service. This is EA open beta, so there will be issues. However many of the reviews complain about issues that either could be answered by asking a question OR have been resolved by the Developer. If you like the kind of games I listed you may really enjoy this game which gets better every day. If you have questions the forum here or the games Discord channel are good resources.

As this is in early access and very much still in development with a single developer doing everything singlehandedly I must say its pretty impressive what he acomplished all by himself. There are still a bunch of things to be done, bugs to be fixed. Most of them WILL be patched in the next upcoming patches. For all of you trying out this game and acctually want to contribute, I suggest joining either the facebook group or better yet the offical discord channel and go speak to the developer in first person (and he will answer) all or any of your input/questions.

Considering the early release nature of this game, the quality is quite good. Currently the only mode of play is the first chapter of the tutorial system. This allows your to get familiar with moving, navigating terrain, and basic finding of resources. The downside: no ability to customize your appearance, you're stuck running around in your underwear gathering wood and stone, then purchasing your campsite. The upside: Graphics quality is good. The rendering and behavior of deer in the area is good. The weather changes to rain occasionally with a nice, but not overdone, splatter effect on the screen. Having the deer and weather changes shown in the training chapter was nice since they could have been left out, but they give more of a sense of the environment. No visible standing water in the training area. Looking forward to the additional training chapters and regular play, but so far only the first learning chapter is unlocked/ available.

The game although pretty bare at the moment has very good potential. I am happy i got this game and look forward to seeing it grow into an exellent survival game in time. I remember when Miscreated only had one location, no storage, no vehicles, very little to do but it turned into an amazing game over time and i can see Corma being as good in time if not better.

Couldn't even click the play button, and the game isn't being updated

In most survival games you punch trees to get resources to make tools to more effectively get resources to make more tools. Corma is like that...but you can find things ready made if you look hard. https://youtu.be/t1hazFmIT8w
