Era of Survival

----- ONE YEAR UPDATE (February 16, 2021) ------ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NOQQcU7h9M ------ June 26, 2020 Update ------ What in the flying crap is this deception and FLAT OUT LIE being posted by the developer of this game? https://imgur.com/GIAuCOs ^^ THIS ^^ - Is the type of crap that quite frankly p*sses me off. Let's be honest here.. This is nothing short of intentional deception and manipulation and a flat out LIE by this developer. THIS SHOWS US THE CHARACTER OF THIS DEVELOPER ALL BY ITSELF AND IT SHOULD GIVE YOU ALL THE REASON YOU NEED TO PASS ON BUYING THIS GAME. ----------------------------------- JUNE 12, 2020 Update Video: (My Biggest Rage Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9DsYML5oQw ----------------------------------- MARCH 29, 2020 Update Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpK3gpnph0E&t=3031s ----------------------------------- UPDATE ON FEB 23, 2020 (6 Days After Original Review): I question the developers honesty about working on this game for "over two years" as he states in his early access information and show the state of this game in this in depth video: (I also give this developer some pretty easy and quick fix suggestions that could go a long way to showing he actually "cares" about his game at the end of this video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4scXujj23U -------------------------- UPDATE ON FEB 18, 2020 (DAY AFTER I REVIEWED THIS GAME): After I made this video, this developer the next morning showed their ability to take criticism well.. I mean I didn't even talk at all in the video, I let their game speak for itself...but I got this notice from Steam lol: https://imgur.com/lxYQ0oq -------------------------- ORIGINAL UNEDITED LAUNCH DAY REVIEW: Jean.. (dev)... Thanks for the free evaluation key first off. But let me ask you a familiar question I ask new indie developers far too often these days... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xovy4xpYuQ4 To Developer: Is this game right now a game you yourself would pay money for if someone else made this? More importantly.. Is this game a game that YOU enjoy playing right now in its current state? If this developer was to answer these questions honestly.. you'd also have MY recommendation on this game now.. A BIG FAT "HELL NO"

It is another big empty map with nothing going on. Early access is not the place to develop your game. Take it off steam and put it on Itch.io to get the feedback you are looking for. If you ARE going to put it on Steam, don't expect people to pay $15 for your unfinished, barely playable Alpha test phase. https://youtu.be/SXuKj9RpNW0

What a lovely fun game worth all the money in my bank. NOT just joking this game is a POS not worth $1.00. Not much ♥♥♥♥ to craft, empty map pretty much. I can collect meat from a wolf that's still alive by chopping it up with an axe. I can spam jump up impossible rocks that you shouldn't be able to do. When using an axe to chop the animation looks like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This game needs to be removed from Steam right away and the devs slapped.

真是一款优秀的生存游戏，几十年没有见过啦。真棒！

This is the foundation for a good game, but currently unplayable, as far as i'm concerned. mostly due to the extremely quick deaths from weather, starvation and thirst. It seems to be just gather resources ( takes a long time for enough to even make the first tools), make good tools, die from something (losing everything), then start completely from scratch with nothing but the starting wood, rinse and repeat. not having fun on this pointless loop, so done.

Era of Survival is an abandoned Early Access "me too" Unity based survival game. Gameplay consists of chopping down trees, collecting stuff, building stuff, fighting off wild animals, etc. It's a compelling idea but it's been done, done, done, and by much better developers than the developers behind "Era of Survival". One thing I can say is that not all of the game assets are flipped, because I saw a completely square tree. Not a round trunk, but a square trunk, with four 90 degree angles on it. Oh boy. The game was abandoned in a completely unpolished and unplayable state. Amongst the technical defects we'll get into, the animations look janky as all hell, and the funny part about that is the developer is using a Unity Asset store animation pack, so there's really no excuse there. It's like going shoplifting but only stealing the budget thrift store branded goods. The game was abandoned roughly four months ago, some time after the developer indicated the game would probably be finished. There's no reliable indication the game will ever be completed, given how long it's been since any updates were made and the shockingly incomplete state of the game, which is a reason for gamers to avoid this. The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the game resolution caps out at 1080p, a very low resolution that became mainstream back in 2006 and became obsolete when 4K entered the mainstream in 2014. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles (no less than three DailyIndieGame bundles!), where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical expectation of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers.

Era of Survival will give you an hour or two of fun before the boredom inevitably sets in. The game fails mostly in that it ignores the lessons of other survival games. Almost everything you craft takes a minimum of 30 seconds. It also takes an absolute ton of resources. An example is one stone arrow takes something like 35 wood and 10 stone...for one! It also takes 30 seconds real time to make it. If you want to make a bow and 20 arrows, it will take 30 minutes. This is the same with everything. A wood door takes over 100 wood, a single piece of roofing 200. I think both of those items took a full minute each to build. Combat is just as bad. Once you find the million resources you need to build the simplest items, they fall apart in seconds. You're not playing a game, you're watching a timer. Killing a chicken with an axe is an exercise in frustration. You have a tiny red dot but there is no blood spray or anything to even tell if you're hitting things. I chased a chicken for almost 5 real minutes swinging an axe at it. You can kill one in real life by just walking up to it and wringing its neck! No weapon necessary. Avoid this and pick up Force of Nature 1 or 2 instead. EoS has too many problems to be fixable.

Virus? No Thank You Was really getting excited to play this. even with all the mixed reviews. The game looked plan sounded cool but after downloading and setting everything up. Steam told me it was a virus! Even went throw the setting and still saying the same.. safe than sorry I say.

Game is broken. Totally see why it was on sale for .99cents. LOL. I think they have lost interest in making this game. it had potential.

[h1]前言[/h1] 《Era of Survival》是由Jean Groenewald制作发行的大型多人在线生存游戏，目前正处于抢先体验阶段，于steam平台在2020年2月18日发售，售价20元。游戏的画质很粗糙，像是很早之前的画面了，虽然不支持中文但是不难理解。可以选择单人模式或者进入官方服务器和其他玩家一起游戏，有专门的聊天设定，当然我还没见到其他玩家。 [h1]体验[/h1] 本作采用了第三人称动作冒险的游戏方式，玩家出生在一片绿地森林之中，只穿着一条大裤衩，根据新手教程来熟悉游戏操作，收集物品制作斧子甚至建造一个房子,从一开始徒手到使用工具，收集木头，石头，食物和水，一步步从无到有，体验荒野人生。 游戏的画质看上去很粗糙，游戏场景以及人物建模也证明了这点，在用手击打树木时没有有效反馈，斧子和石膏敲击倒是有声音，背景的话能听到瑟瑟风声和夜晚蛐蛐等音效，有昼夜效果，树木砍伐到一定程度会消失，吃蘑菇能补充饥饿和口渴，因为没有任务目标除了建房子也基本不知道干什么了，官方服务器里也没看到人。 打开库存制作工具或者物品的前提是有足够资源，制作时需要等待制作时间，而完成后可以拖动到快捷栏进行放置，房子可以从地基开始建设，有生命，食物和水三种状态需要补充，这部分想必不用过多阐述，玩过生存游戏的基本都能够了解，实话整个游戏体验下来给我的感觉就是十分老套，没有看到自己的特色。 [h1]结语[/h1] 本作的画风和人物建模粗糙，用了如今常见的生存建设玩法，玩家需要在保证自身生命以及食物和水分的同时收集物品进行建设，目前抢先体验版，可以说玩法有些老套，并没有看到自己的特色，唯一的优点应该是设置了官方在线服务器，当然在线模式我也没看见人，而且之前的木头在我退出重进时也消失了，似乎不能保存，整体感觉不像是2020年的游戏，目前还是不推荐了。 [quote] *中国鉴赏家同好会[开发者邀请]评测 *开发者邀请评测由开发者邀请同好会成员免费测试游戏的方式，最终产生的玩家评测，故该评测仅作为参考，望读者理性阅读，谨慎购买。 欢迎加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/jsjthh]中国鉴赏家同好会群组[/url]&关注我们的鉴赏家[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27093039/]中国鉴赏家同好会[/url][/quote]
