Overthrown

Unfinished mess.

This game needs some serious help. I've experienced numerous mesh issues where I infinitely fall, and I've cleared a huge area only to have ghost artifacts of the blocks I've cleared obscure my buildings. It's ridiculous trying to carry a building and actually have it eat the resource you're farming. Even trees can be a pain sometimes, just straight up going through the sawmill without processing. Mobs can infinitely stun lock you and create some gnarly death spirals when there are three or more big creatures. Dodge is literally your only option; dashing is not an option, which is crazy since you're going to have to use hit-and-run tactics. I've placed buildings only to have them fall through the mesh or fly off into the sky until they disappear. To be fair, the game could have a lot of potential, but single-player is just meh. Bugs make it unplayable for me, and multiplayer trivializes everything. In one day, I was able to progress through the tree on almost every map. I wouldn't say it has any replayability.

I think I'll enjoy this if it stops crashing after the first time I fight a boar.

Good gamefeel. But it's an unfinished project. Don't call that an 1.0 if it's barely different from before :/ 25 bucks is not worth it.

I lost interest after 30 minutes. Honestly it's really disappointing, I really liked the unique ways you were able to interact with the world, like being able to pick up whole sawmills and bringing them to the trees instead of the other way around, but there's like no reason to? Even though that's the whole gimmick of the game, that you have ludicrous ways of interacting with the world?

I'm just really, really disappointed that this was what they considered completed. I had to constantly reload the game for pathfinding to even work. The economy of the game doesn't exist, to get more citizens you have to have high happiness and mine were never all that happy. Honestly, this is a game best avoided unless under a steep discount.

I played this game both on steam and xbox during early access, often in the dev server with the creators helping to report/recreate bugs. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed that I never got to experience this game to any of the potential it ever had. While I can't speak on it now, the early days of the games multiplayer function were extremely lacking for the player 2 which was my main role for the majority of the time. I basically ran around as though I never collected the crown. I could fight, sprint (without additional stamina bars), and gather materials but that was about the most of my experience. The pollution mechanics never have been balanced, where outhouses once produced too much waste, destroying the towns overall quality of life, but upon making them fully cosmetic, there now isnt enough compost to start any form of agriculture. The research tree used to be at least helpful in explaining what everything was for. Somehow, now, there is LESS information after researching something and I am left asking myself "what does this even do in the first place??" I dont typically write reviews; especially not long or negative. This game though, really disappointing.

Note for Overthrown devs: Remove pollution mechanics or add anti pollution mechanics as well (buildings purify it & structures to isolate it), pollution spreads everywhere like crazy & uncontrollable, unless industrial buildings are relocated or removed. Instead of pollution mechanics introduce climate/season mechanics (plants, creatures spawns, are more season specific); Needs a some sorts of storyline or greater objective; Just an idea, introduce some kind of isekai stuff (reborn into this new world, from our real ones); Other NPC kingdoms & Kings/Queens or small non hostile settlements, more domesticable creatures can be added make things more interesting.
