Hauntsville

Beware this is more like a DEMO (2-3 hours of play). - No loot on enemies (only on big boss) - Few items (wood, iron, coal, nails, 3 ammos, 3 weapons) - Empty world (only few villages with same buildings and same loot, and 1 NPC who dies in tutorial) QoL pbs - No time (don't know when night arrive) - No reticle - Passing doors or jumping a bit clunky sometimes Will change review later if it gets better. Could be nice game.

Don't believe the positive reviews. Game is very bare bones and was not ready for a full release.

neat game, cool monster design, lots of QOL issues. - the crosshair is not in the center of the screen for gun, its like 1/3 of the way up from the botom - the antialiasing is TAA and cant be turned off, it add motions blur, ghosting, and looks mushy - fast travel just does not work i can not reccomend this for $19, maybe if it was $7 or 8

Hauntsville you say? More like SNOOZEVILLE! I don't understand how this game is considered not in early access still. *The map is dead and lifeless, no NPC's other than within the first 10 minutes of gameplay. *Crafting is very limited and there's barely any loot especially for a game that encourages base building. *Apparently the game is very short 2-3 hours? But the most egregious issue is the dev is charging $20 USD for this game. The game isn't bad, it just happens to feel like there's nothing to see, nothing to do of any real interest and certainly no one to talk to within the game. Haunstville should have a $2.99 USD price tag, because it feels unfinished and not polished. I don't see it being improved much if at all. Personally, I'd avoid Haunstville all together.

The game runs like hot garbage and it's barely even functional. The inventory and the building system kept bugging the hell out, and the server host crashed after less than an hour of gameplay.

needs work fun if you have friends unlike me

While still very rough, I like the game. Building and crafting is easy, could have some QOL items changed, but overall a good time. The enemies are fun, the weapons simple but effective and fast travel really really helps. Great start to the game, look forward to seeing what happens further down the rails.

really hope the dev fixes the jank and can turn this into something great because i have always wanted a game like this

haven't played alot of the game so far, got to the part where i have to build shelter. from what ive seen so far the game is kinda bare bones and lifeless, the enemies look cool, the game is so dark can't see the tip pop ups go by so fast i can't read them, they also pop up about stuff i don't have yet. the gun when aiming down sights sits at the bottom of the screen and i have to look up to aim it, like some have said the running seems like a faster walk, the looting i can live with, but the graphics are so mobile looking. i want to support the Dev on this because it looks like it would be a fun game, but as is right now i can't really sink my teeth in. i hope the Dev in the future works on the graphics a bit more and some of the other stuff i mentioned. ill probably come back to this title after a bit. till then i can't recommend this game

🎯 Verdetto da critico cinico (ma sincero) Hauntsville è come un whiskey scadente servito in un bicchiere da saloon: profuma di selvaggio West, ma al primo sorso ti lascia un retrogusto amaro e qualche dubbio di stomaco. Se stai cercando un’esperienza survival horror ben oliata, con crafting solido, loot affidabile, progressione coerente e soprattutto un gioco stabile, rischi di rimanere deluso. Le buone intenzioni ci sono, l’ambientazione è intrigante, i pochi momenti di tensione possono funzionare — ma i bug, il bilanciamento ballerino, le risorse rare e la sensazione di lavorare più per sopravvivere a glitch e frustrazione che per vivere un’avventura rovinano l’equilibrio. In pratica, Hauntsville soffre di una cosa che per un survival horror è quasi fatale: manca di stabilità, consistenza e affidabilità nelle sue meccaniche fondamentali. Quando il crafting, il loot e la sopravvivenza diventano frustranti per motivi tecnici o di bilanciamento, tutto il castello crolla — e con lui, anche quell’idea affascinante di “horror + western + survival”. Impalpabile. Mediocre. ⁉️ Voto personale da pistolero stanco: ★★☆☆☆ — due stelle e mezza, sperando che gli sviluppatori si sveglino e comincino a sparare colpi da maestro, non scarrellino a vuoto. 🎯 Verdict from a cynical (but sincere) critic Hauntsville is like a cheap whiskey served in a saloon glass: it smells of the Wild West, but with the first sip it leaves you with a bitter aftertaste and some stomach doubts. If you're looking for a well-oiled survival horror experience, with solid crafting, reliable loot, consistent progression, and above all, stable gameplay, you risk being disappointed. The good intentions are there, the setting is intriguing, the few tense moments can work — but the bugs, the dancing balance, the rare resources, and the feeling of working more to survive glitches and frustration than to have an adventure ruin the balance. In practice, Hauntsville suffers from something that is nearly fatal for a survival horror: it lacks stability, consistency, and reliability in its fundamental mechanics. When crafting, loot, and survival become frustrating for technical or balancing reasons, the whole castle collapses —and with it, even that fascinating idea of “horror + western + survival”. Impalpable. Mediocre. !?️ Personal rating as a tired gunslinger: ★★☆☆☆ — two and a half stars, hoping the developers wake up and start firing masterstrokes, don't shoot in vain.
