Damned Nation Reborn

First Impressions: In short, the game is most certainly not worth $13 at the present time. There is only one game mode available and the game doesn't do a very good job in informing the player on how to actually play the game. Yes, I did read the manual on the official website and while it tells you to hit "T" for turret and hit "1", "2", etc. to select your turret, it does not tell you how to actually place it. All I get is the outline of the object with no indication on what to do next. The hit-boxes are a bit off, especially with the shotgun...a zombie, in theory, should go down after five shots at point blank range. The visuals are coming along nicely, though this game clearly needs more work. With that said, I'll be happy to revisit the game again to see how it progresses throughout the course of development and change my recommendation appropriately.

I cannot recommend this game at this time (June 2015). I appreciate the efforts of people who work hard to create and improve games released under Early Access. I also accept the uneven quality and inevitable ups and downs of developing games, responding to the criticisms and suggestions of players, and working to make fixes and patches that improve an Early Access game. I don't expect miracles or perfection, and I am willing to be patient with an Early Access game. Based on my experience with various other Early Access games, I think this game still needs a lot of work, and the pace of its fixes and improvements has been a bit slow. I wish the developers luck and success, but suggest that any potential buyers seriously consider waiting for more improvements before buying this game.

Let me start off my saying, I am no stranger to Early Access games. I know what im buying and I know what to expect. Now, there are some games that are in early access and pretty nice. They might have some graphical issues or multiplayer issues. And you can usually get the point of the game. Im having a hard time trying to figure out what im supposed to be doing in Damned Nation. Im supposed to build this "Home Hub" which takes materials that you need to gather. But the only thing you can harvest is wood and stone. You need to loot the metal and fuel. And the only loot that spawns is in garbage cans and broken vehicles. There are houses that you can enter, but they are really really dark and there is never anything in them. Once the Home Hub was placed (finally) this huge blue aura appears. Then you can start building turrets within it. So I place one (after running all around looting every car in sight) and it doesn't work. I lured 3 zeds in front of it and it did nothing. The zeds just beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. There is a power counter that appears in the top left corner, but you are never told how you are supposed to turn on the turrets. So at this point, I was lost. So I stopped. The lack of direction is probably the biggest downfall this game currently. And when it comes to killing things..im not sure where im supposed to be hitting the zeds. The hit boxes appear to be completely random. I could be standing right in front of one gettin my face chewed off while I swing my axe at it, but 95% of the time you do no damage. So I just ran and jumped around them. Even tho there is a leveling system, I felt no desire to stand around and try to kill zombies. SO, at the games current state I can't recommend it. I love my survival games but the survival mode in this just isn't there. And there is too much lack of direction or information to keep it from being frustrating. And once again, I know this is early access, and I know what I was getting into when I bought this.

Во многих позитивных отзывах на эту вещь сказано нечто вроде: да, это ранний доступ, все криво, но у нее ЕСТЬ ПОТЕНЦИАЛ. Так вот, я уточню: БЫЛ потенциал. Когда вышло последнее обновление? Правильно, в середине 2015 года. И все, тишина. Продукт заброшен. Печальная и, в общем-то, обычная судьба многих игрушек в раннем доступе -- ну надоело разработчикам с ней возиться. А может случиться так, что авторы к ней еще вернутся? Теоретически, да. Ничего не мешает. Но я бы на это рассчитывать не стал. Брать, или нет? Нет. Но если в этом году выйдет хоть одно обновление, то возможно, мое мнение изменится. Но ведь не выйдет...

Not werf. No. Not. Njet. Didn't receive an update for a year and even the Dev stopped playing it. I suggest you avoid this game. The gameplay is meh, unfinished. One could call this a cash grab.

Отвратительная дрянь,от которой стоит держаться подальше. Не работает в игре ничего, кроме стрельбы и бесполезной стройки стен. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=683685842 0.0/10 Игра на удаление в стиме.

I love the design concept. However at this point: It is in early Alpha, if that. This game won't be ready for Beta, much less release for months yet. In it's current state it is almost unplayable and there's so many obvious problems to fix that it doesn't seem that even outside alpha testers would be needed yet. When it gets to where it seems like outside alpha testers would be doing more than just falling over each other with the obvious problems I'll update my recommendation to a thumbs up. I apologize for accidentally misrepresenting it's release timeline when I first commented, I must have misread as it's just the next alpha that is being released this month.

Pretty much a novice dev ( if that at all) making a pretty basic game releazing it with the most basic game elements and promising many things. I would have more fun playing War Z in a server full of hackers then playing this. The gameplay just shows it was someone who barely knew what they were doing. The dev stopped playing and should just remove this unless they plan on making the game entirely new with brand new content and new engine. Vaporware, Cash grab, Game broken, turn away before its too late.

I actually enjoy the ideal of the game. Not many games takes on this type of gameplay including tower defense and a sandbox type. I also do like the level system kinda like the dead island games. Game def has changed from when the game was released in feb 2015. Im in between right now with a yes and a no, i would wait and see where it goes Pro FPS & Third Person Shooter Strategy Place turrents zombie's behaviour some walk and crawl Gather resources Classic tower defence game-mode Cons no controller support multiplayer dead Sometimes when you are gathering resources you dont pick up the resources Third person animation needs to be improved with shooting cant skin the animals skin to use it for food.

In this case Early Access seems to mean "F*** it, we gave up." It's a nice concept, seems like it has potential. But leaving it unfinished as it is...
