Dreadline: Net Quota

Dreadline: Net Quota didn’t work for me as a solo player. The systems feel layered in a way that makes the game more confusing than engaging, and playing alone quickly becomes overwhelming instead of fun. There’s potential in the concept, but the complexity and lack of satisfying solo flow made it hard to enjoy. With friends it might shine, but solo it just isn’t a good time.

Really solid game! Group was positively surprised, and all said we might return for a second or third attempt, which is not always the case on a game where keys are supported. Games like these will always lack content. Minor bugs, but a solid gameplay loop and at a really fair price. If you got a group who likes Lethal, REPO, PEAK etc, grab this for the whole group and you're getting your moneys worth for the hours of fun that it is.

This game is a demo at best. It seems to try to cash in on the Lethal Company style games without being effective at any of it. The fishing game is annoying, the monsters very frequent, and the ones that steal the fish do so even if you kick them. You can kick the tentacles that pull the ship but it still pulls the ship. Nothing here works as intended, and is far more just a decent idea without any actual gameplay.

this game sucks unfinished pointless crap like that other space crap game. literally just a cash grab.

It's fun BUT, quite a buggy mess. Def not finished either. Would I recommend this game as of right now? No. In the future? Maybe. It needs work but I can see this getting better in time, but as of now, it's just something to play with friends for giggles. I would rather recommend DREDGE (Singleplayer), or GONE fishing (Multiplayer). > FISHING: Very unforgiving, no matter how much you fish it honestly doesn't matter, you will loose those fish. Either they glitch off the boat or it's a monster attack. The first quota is $60, and due to the frequency of monsters it's almost impossible to meet it. > MONSTERS: They appear so frequently even on just the first quota, that no matter how much you fish, you will loose those fish, and can't finish the quota. This is honestly the biggest issue with the game I have, if this is fixed I bet the game would be a WAY better experience. ((There's a green vine/tentacle that comes into the ship and steals your fish, and you have to kick it for it to go away. No matter when you kick it, it STILL steals fish. I watched it come onto the ship ALREADY holding a fish model. So no matter what, that thing still steals your fish - only OCCASIONALLY dropping it. On top of that IT APPEARS SO FREQUENTLY all of your fish will just be GONE before you even get to the next lighthouse to sell.)) > FISHING POLE: Fishing isn't bad, but god forbid you try to step away from it to manage a monster while you're holding a fishing pole because it just causes you to cast and you mess up. You literally have to try to put up your pole THEN deal with monsters. Again, monsters appear so common it's hard to do so. > SHOP: Very unforgiving. Since you can't catch many fish due to monsters, you cant get items. Example being the repair kit, It costs $40 for ONE usage (YOUR FIRST QUOTA IS $60). Even though monsters are constantly damaging your ship YOU CAN'T REPAIR, on top of those same monsters stealing your profit.

It was fun playing it with friends. I went in with friends not playing the tutorial and we were able to figure it out. It was fun trying to figure out what to do to make a haul, but after a few failed attempts our first haul was like $24. After we got into a rhythm our hauls were between $90 and $200 a day. Game is definitely fun and I hope more content gets released for it. Really hope they add customizable keybinds soon, because push to talk is T right now. It does have some bugs though, but all games after being released have bugs that have to work out. I really didn't see anything game breaking, just annoying.

Fun fishing game with a cool horror theme. Some mechanics can be frustrating (no dropping items) but the overall flow of the game is very good especially with a few friends

TLDR: I recommend the game but for now there isnt a lot to do or play with, so buy this game knowing that and for chaos with friends! (also be warned, big spiders) I got this game from my friend Liz_Okami as part of the Tidal Splash festival and played it with a crew of 6 people. The game itself has similar gameplay to Lethal company but at the same time is unique in the way it plays, gameplay is fun but doesnt have a lot of depth yet, and engine breakdowns, tentacles taking fish or holding your ship stuck or fuses being blown were VERY common which can get kinda repetetive and more of an annoyance than fun minigames or things you can do. The ship controls are very jerky and janky at first but i got more used to them after a while as the captain. My biggest grievance by far, is MASSIVE VERY HIGHLY DETAILED SPIDERS. And no arachnophobia mode or warnings in the game itself which was an unwelcome surprise.

Fun with a group of friends, not designed for solo and it becomes obvious very quick. It still feels like it is in Early Access though with the amount of bugs and frustrating tidbits: menus freezing when players join, buttons/sliders not working, interact/use being the same button so fighting tentacles makes you throw your rod instead and freeze in place, fish merging into the hull or becoming a pain to get off the hook. Mechanics wise though it is diverse and there is something for everyone to do, keeping players engaged during your longer trips. Different enemies with different countermesures and pieces of story you can find here and there keep you curious to explore. If anything I wish there was more to explore, maybe temporary upgrades on the tiny islands? NPCs that move from island to island, maybe even find their boats and get help being pointed to secret fishes? More ways to fish would also be fun, like a net to drag behind the boat that only works in open water. Maybe even crabtins that you can drop of and pick up at a later time? I do look forward to see what the game gets in the future!

A very fun fishing game to play with friends! Gets quite challenging.
