Dawn of Defiance

I love this game

Initially, the game captivates with its immersive experience, creating an exciting atmosphere filled with numerous discoveries. However, as I delved deeper and explored the entire map, I realized just how empty it truly is, which led to a decline in my interest. I sincerely hope that a future update will rectify this concern.

How did this game go under the radar for this long? Sure, it's a EA but it's already very polished. And that is noticable immediately upon starting. It's got a great premise (the greek mythological afterlife setting is inspired) and the server settings out of the gate lets you tweak the gameplay to a reasonable degree. I dislike survival crafting games in general for the grind and jank but this is pretty good. Looks good, runs great, animations are also smooth (except for jumping which looks weird. Also the precision needs tweaking as running and jumping from the edge does not give you distance. Instead, jumping a few steps before the edge will give you significant distance. And with a game that has no climbing or ability to grab onto ledges...this can be frustrating). Combat feels punchy and reactive. Blocking is pretty precise which is great. Building is, I suspect, easy to learn but difficult to master. The UI is clean, simple and thematically sound. The controller or keyboard/mouse controls do need a bit of work in making things a lot more intuitive and it would be great if the character avatar would visually show the weapons and equipment on the person (or have it be an option for people who don't care for these things). I think the lumen graphical settings can make things a little too overly bright but that's more of an Unreal issue than anything else. More customisation options for characters like eye resizing and more hairstyles would be good. A body slider too. But what's there is functional, works great, looks great and more importantly, is a pretty high bar expectation for the future. I am quite excited to keep going and exploring.

pretty good.

Valheim but Ancient Greece and its great so far :)

people give games a down vote for the most stupid reasons

So far so good. Of course there are many possible improvements but I would mention two of them. First is combat which is really easy, all you need is patience. The second is teleportation. I would like to have an item like in Terraria to tp home when I need to or put portals everywhere in the world, like in Valheim. Yes, I'm only at the copper age but the game drew me in and keeps me playing + it's fun, which is a rarity these days (at least for me). Maybe there is some kind of teleportation later on, idk yet. In my eyes it is worth buying the game. Edit: I just found the ore progress and I don't like it at all. It feels like the game forces you to play in bronze gear for so long and it is completely unnecessary. I didn't finish the game because of this fact and I'm not planning to continue. I still think this game has potential but dev... WTF GIVE ME THE GREATER SMELTER SOONER

Ich muss sagen es macht Spaß, aber eine Langzeitmotivation ist nicht da. Ich denk ca. 60-80h ist man durch oder früher. Es wäre schön wenn es eine deutsche Übersetzung gäbe. Man merkt es ist EA. Koop Spielmöglich. Kein Dedi schade.
