Red Solstice 2: Survivors

Cool idea but disappointing on everything it tries to do. Makes me regret my determination on finishing games. Glitches everywhere, everything is barely working and really janky, everything is as basic and unimpressive at everything, no consequence whatsoever to anything, just a billion auto-generated copy-pasted survival missions with careful no-fun-allowed builds and unpredictable difficulty spikes on top of jank. Multiplayer experience may save it but progression for MP is broken and forces obscene grind, so there's much better stuff around. Even nukes are disappointing. Even gigantic infestation spots are really just damage sponges. Even bosses are just move and shoot. To mentally endure a full campaign you have to degrade it by thinking of it as an ATTEMPT at a SURVIVORS-like game with XCOM progression and resource management. It's still bad though, because even the XCOM inspired stuff is poorly made. Too bad, first game looked like it attempted to scratch an itch that this one isn't even trying to scratch

honestly feels like a lazy mash up of several different games and does a pretty awful job. first red flag was the tutorial asking me if i want RTS controls or WASD. its a twin stick shooter, obviously i want WASD. and then the tutorial kept asking me to enable the auto play feature and not allowing me to move forward until i did. strike 1 and then there was the struggle of just playing with my friend who bought the game for me specifically so we could play together. i could not invite him to my game. i had to open my game to the public and pray that he could find me in the server browser. strike 2 first mission was pretty painless, worked well enough and i was getting the hang of the horrible controls and clunky movement. after that first mission my friend was kicked from the game and some random took his place. i kicked the random and waited for my friend to get back in to do the next mission. we tried that mission 2 times failing each time because the game never gave us an extraction point. after spending over an hour in that second mission i was done. that was my third strike. literally go play EDF, Alien Swarm, or xcom because all of those games will do what this game was trying to do a lot better. you want a B movie trash plot? go play EDF, you want similar gameplay? Alien Swarm, similar meta management systems? go play XCOM.

A very fun game, also a very durable game. An absolute masterpiece! Unfortunately, there are too many naive players.

官方脑子是有坑么？削弱我方ai干鸡毛，战役里之前能造的工程物品呢，为啥现在不能造了？德川过载器等道具就放联机遭遇战里，是战役里玩家不配拥有么？从康达提斯战役出来开始，当时每个战役都可以造所有阵营的道具，官方你当成bug给修了，每个战役只能造属于自己阵营的物品，现在连高等级道具都不给。防御壁垒这个任务刚出来那会的来袭强度呢？一个pve游戏搞这么多限制。你康达提斯小兵的开枪效率跟你的宣传片里的表现现在能对的上么。你干脆让康达提斯战役只能玩通灵，豪厄尔战役只能玩工程算求了，把其他战斗服全删了。

Lots of co-op fun - played it for years

Too grindy, lack of content. Pretty cool in general though, decent mechanics, would be more fun with people however the game is mega past dead.

Single player is like Xcom base building and world progression wise with a real time top down shooter twin stick mode and a right click rpg style ability mode instead of turn based combat. Both modes change the gameplay quite a bit, I like the rpg mode for navigating the map and issuing AI squad orders and the shooter mode for actual combat. Instead of aliens and combating their invasion you are combating the infection and its spread, you take control of the map and scan areas to get your "Intel" of the area up in order to get higher quality missions and unltimately wipe the infection from that zone and work to keep it supressed by mainting that intel. Any actual battles take place in real time and you have a main objective to complete with side objectives that get you engineers, supplies or items. You can play the single player allowing people to drop in and assist which I like doing, few people play it anymore but every now and then when I replay the campaign I have had people join every now and then. Mutiplayer was interesting the few times I gave it a go but I mostly played the single player campaign. Its a nice blend of genres with a bit of a learning curve

норм

it's a funny old bird tbf, looks like a twinstick, plays like... zombie extraction diablo, with guns and tanks. 7 players many classes and customising.

This is a great game made with love. The story is phenomenal. The Creators have added excellent DLCs and updates are regular and helpful. It is incredibly fun to play with friends and the gameplay is exciting and fun. I hope in a Red Solstice 3 to continue the Story. I highly recommend this game!
