MetaTron

MetaTron is a survival game where you play as a clone, trying to become more and more powerful. In the beginning you can choose one from 6 cloned characters with their special abilities (one is stronger, the other one is faster etc.) and then you can choose an area to spawn. In your bag, there is a stone-axe, used for chopping trees and mining stone and ores, a torch, to lighten up the dark night and a crafting table. You start chopping trees and building your first small wooden house. This should be your base for the moment. You put your crafting table inside and try to get more resources and survive. You will need food, the easiest way to get it is to collect berries. After you are okey with the primary needs you need to visit the red dots on the map, these are mines where you can find different ores and sometimes loot bags with other thinks inside. Once in a while you will get attacked by a mutant (Npc) or meet a deer or a bison you could kill to get meat. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, besides the usual hunger and thirst system there is a mutation system in this game. You can press Q whenever you want (if you have mutation energy) and become a mutant for a while, making you stronger and giving effects. Everything you do (chopping trees, killing something, mining) gives you experience points and once you have earned enough you will level up, getting new skills for your mutation form. But these experience points can also be used to call a supply dropdown of your choice. If you do this a loud plane will arrive, getting the attention of all players around and it will drop a package, which falls very slow, giving other player much time to come to this point and fight with you for the loot. As further you get in the game, the cooler the items are. Later you can build concrete houses, craft modern rifles or even your own car! But if you die you will lose everything you were carrying in your bag. The game is easy to get into, there is a chat if you want to communicate with other people and the graphics are quite okey for an indie game. Nights are quite creepy and there is that scary music sometimes, especially when you enter a mine, making you afraid of meeting someone after the next corner. And I didn’t see any major bugs, besides 2 disconnects for the whole playtime. But as I could reconnect after that without problems and without losing anything, I didn’t really care. And instead of swimming you walk on the ground when you go into a lake or sea. If you’d ask me what could be better in this game: - I’d make the nights lighter or the torch brighter - Fishes underwater and a fishing rod would be nice - Please make a small basic crafting feature, so if you’ve lost your crafting table you don’t need to make a new character (and make it cost wood planks only) - make the characters swim - a bigger variety of skill choices What’s good in this game and what isn’t? Positive: + easy crafting and building + mutation system + levels and skills + so many different pieces of clothes! + airdrops + cars and modern rifles Negative: - no swimming - too dark nights and mines - 2 disconnects But as a whole I think this game is quite good and has big potential. I hope the developers will make more out of it and make this game better and better :) 8/10 crazy mutants hitting you from behind [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/boombasticreviews#curation]Click to get to my Curation Page[/url]
