Penkura

So glad i found this game. rarely i find one that pulls me in like this one is. Its obvious the dev has put their passion in this game, its running 3820x2160 everything maxxed and running perfect, no lags etc. Absolutely worth full price. zero regrets!

Das Spiel ist schon sehr lange in Entwicklung, was zum einen dem kleinen zwei Mann Team geschuldet ist und zum anderen der Tatsache, dass sich das Spiel ziemlich gut in Steam versteckt. Es ist genau mein Genre - Basebau, Resourcen, Crafting, Story - und trotzdem habe ich es erst jetzt gefunden. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert, die Grafik ist ok, die Story interessant und das Gameplay macht Spaß. Das Spiel ist noch nicht fertig, man muss also etwas Geduld mitbringen, aber der Entwickler ist super bemüht und sehr aktiv in der Community.

Actual hidden gem of a game. Enjoying the gameplay loop tremendously.

На мой взгляд игра уступает таким шедеврам, как Сабнаутика или Планет Крафтер. Но ситуацию осложняет что она в РД с 2018 года. Мы все еще ждем версию 0.2.0, в которой будет 70% планируемого контента. Один разработчик, не основная работа. Пока не завершенная сюжетка. Сам геймплей на любителя. Очень неторопливый. На старте так и вообще не понятно - ту ли игру запустил. Разнообразие биомов отсутствует. Но можно предположить, что здесь когда-нибудь появится еще и защита базы. Вроде доступно программирование ботов, хотя я его не нашел.

I love this game so much its something different and at has an amazing story line so far

Love the game besides some minor pacing issues at the beginning!

I will say up front, it takes a while to get going with progression. I understand this is Early Access and has been for a while, but I think there is some really great potential with the game. Currently only about 6 hours, but very interested to see how far this early version of game can take me.

seams the game devs are working on some of the game issues still and have not gave up yet on it one would hope i realy dont want to see another abandond early access game

currently in a very rough spot, needs alot of work, My biggest issue with it is the fact it hangs when exiting so steam reads it as still being played which if you are on the fence about (VERY slow paced for the start as well kinda like AC but worse) it'll force you to go past the 2 hour window which is a very shady thing for any dev to do, not saying this dev is doing it on purpose but we all have seen plenty who do do it. This needs fixing pronto otherwise...well then it becomes obvious it was done on purpose. So far the only way I can force it to actually quit is to kill steam, which can be problem for people who dont have good internet and might have downloads in progress. It doesnt even stop when I go to task manager and kill the process there. Other issues is small things like characters glitching, i.e the baton is in your forearm when running instead of your hand. I dont know if the fact the profiles I.e the clone thing at the start (I cant remember the name) isnt supposed to save the profile you make but it doesnt for me. Might just be a visual glitch though

Penkura is a great survival crafter with a very deep and engaging story being developed at its core. The futuristic aesthetic mixed with the ancient alien world and technology/artifacts is a nice juxtaposition of primitive and cutting edge worlds. You are tasked with traveling to this world in search of your team and the rest of the corporations' assets after catastrophe has struck. We don't know how or why this has happened or what we can even do about it. A mysterious deadly virus, a deserted alien world, a corrupt megacorp, and sinister events to uncover. Penkura is akin to the Subnautica side of the Open World Survival Craft genre. Less concern about individual survival means and instead focuses macro survival like base building, resource extraction, and automation. Crafting items, components, even food and water are synthesized in a streamlined and automation friendly manner using the Molecular Matter Converter. This is basically a universal crafting bench. The base building itself is RTS style which you access by interfacing with the Command Center. This is a neat top down perspective for building your base using the modular building system. Some factories/devices will be standalone structures too. We can equip a number devices to use such as a scanner, a melee baton, an ore finder, and even some pistols for combat, among other devices. The story, lore, and world building in this game is a definite highlight and I find myself after each session wanting more and more and more! I will say that the development cycle for this one is probably a bit slower than most would prefer. From my understanding it is a solo dev project with maybe a couple support people and testers. But i think Penkura will be well worth the wait. LionsArt is proving to be top-notch developer in regards to Penkura. I have seen and experienced nothing but good will and eagerness from the dev when addressing issues, bugs, or concerns about the game and its development. I appreciate seeing him go out of his way to do this for some many that are interested in the game and more developers could take notes from LionsArt IMO. Its just such a rarity to see such open dedication that I wanted to shout it out. Keep up the great work, Penkura is worth fighting for!
