ROKH

Update Sept 23 2017 Game is still beyond broken and delware have fired the company devloping the game so the new ones have to fix all the broken code from all the failed updates since release to early access and still no workable windows dedicared server sadly. as of now my personal thoughts are this game will not make it to beta becaus delware who hold the ip to the game and no devs inhouse for the game they are shoveling out for way to much money that i was stupid enough to pay sadly they will run out of income from this concept of a game and move on as i doubt sales will keep up for them to keep replacing devloper companys to fix other companys lazyness. there is a severe lack of quality control and from what they allowed to be shoveled out since release in may as updates i think they have no in house testers either. I also believe i should have gotten and should be offered a damn refund due to false advertising when i bought this thing as i got it for either single player which they conviently removed few weeks after i purchased it or to play with a friend or 2. but nope i cant even play with my friends on my own pc as they are not on my network and windows server still has not been released but thats ok i wasted money on this why not wast more on a gportal server to play with a friend on a private server of my own. Revising my review to why i do not recommend this overpriced "concept of a game" - Unstable Offical Servers Rarly Up for more then an hour without Crashing - No real singleplayer (launching local server does not work) - Repair system feels totaly broken and just thrown in as if you attempt to use a wrench to repair a machine in your base it will likely crash the server or lock that machine into your wrench so you have to relog to fix the next and over and over again. - Cannot pickup Machines placed within your base so prey you placed the frame with the right orientation. - Cannot secure doors or storage chests so anything you dont exit the game with on you is likely to be raided. - No ingame chat text or voice - No Windows Dedicated server program so either you pay for there gportal host or you learn linux (which sucks in my case as the local aka single player server does not work on my pc thus if i wish to play with as few servers crashes and as little decay aswell as being able to secure my work i need to rent a single slot server with password protection) - Crafting is VERY tedious i should not have like 10 tools maybe more and a 5 slot toolbelt being forced to switch between them in order to craft something as simple as a battery charger. - Any Base Equipment placed and build does not designate its orientation so its a random guess which way you have to wire it up. - there is currently no way of making a perment location on the map of your settlement. - Serverly limiting 2000 tile count for Bases (theres no way the bases in the storepage advertisement are 2000 or less tiles as a small cube took well over 600 and thats 3 lays of roofing because aparently one layer does not block out radiation. - Jetpack and running are pointless they both dont work worth a damn running is a very minor change of pace. and the jetpack works randomly other times you can hold space bar and use all fuel and your guy just falls after you jump. - Meteors Have a GPS locked in for your location it seems there appearence is definitly not random. - Server Browser takes close to 5 minutes to return any results for servers to join and you cant cancel and pick one you have to wait for it to finish its search. - Large Structures everywhere that serve no purpose. - There is no Food System in place so no farming just magic boxes around the large structures that magicaly appear and have food in them so if you migrate to far from them you will starve to death (should have been ingame way before a stupid decay system) So as you have read above this game is pretty much 90% broken and unplayable I do not consider restarting it every 5-10 minutes due to it just having fatel errors or server crashes. i have paid 27.99 cad for this and so far I beleve it should not have been released to early access for at least another few months maybe even another year considering whats advertised is not whats in game either another soon to be starforge or no mans sky

The developers abandoned this game. FYI. Do Not BUY. On top of that, it only plays on a server, so good luck if you do buy it, then want to play it. When the game was playable, it seemed to have a couple of bright spots. Not the least of which was a really good visual look of Mars. However, all the items with only a couple of exceptions were not interactive. So you could come across a large city on the planet, and only be able to jump on top of the buildings, not enter them. In the screenshots they show a person standing next to a vehicle. You can not drive, access, or in any way interact with it. Outside of jumping on top of it. Even working it is not worth $20 for the reasons mentioned already. But now, STEAM should consider it a scam that there is still even a buy option for it. Someone with a couple weeks, and access to YouTube videos could replicate the game play in Unreal or Unity pretty easily. There wasn't much to it at all. So don't waste your money.

Looks like it will be a great game, its already quite enjoyable to be honest learning what everything does. its in very early alpha so dont expect a AAA title dev team sound like they are and will be working hard on updates etc cant wait to see how it turns out also seen a few people complaining about being stuck on server list etc, if you turn auto refresh off it works a treat dont give up on it or write it off straight away, if you only have £20 for a new game then buy something else maybe for now, and come check it out in the near future.

I must say that this game is not for the casual gamer looking for an easy game. This game is complex and requires a lot of planning to succeed. I broke down and started up my own server and I'm happy I did. The game is running very smooth with zero crashes so far. Starting out is very slow with little help explaining how to get going. I honestly liked that, it made for a great challenge to overcome that drew me in to the game.

Game is dead

Pleasantly surprise! I was pretty skeptical to jump in to this title in its early access phase. But I'm glad I did. Lately the early access is a bit saturated with the survival/sandbox genre that slowly comes to a crawl in the update department. ROKH however stand out with a breath taking landscape and its deep level of crafting. It has a realistic feel to it. Graphics – Beautiful, truly captures a detail Mars landscapes from the detail texture use in the rocks to the majestic canyons, mountains, valleys and impact craters. Instantly you can tell much love was put into the terrain and you will be drawn to explore. The map is huge, just don’t wonder to far or you will find yourself in a point of no return where if unprepared you will perish as your oxygen or suit battery power runs out. Preparation for exploration is a must to transverse the different terrains. The meteor showers are actually impressive to look at. Specially as your venturing about and you get caught near a meteor shower and you see them impacting around you. The environment feels deadly and its desolation will become evident soon after playing. Don’t get caught in an unsuspecting electrical storm, sandstorm or a have misstep into a ravine near the ledge of a canyon. Crafting – A deep level of crafting. I have not come across anything this in-depth. It can be a bit overwhelming if you’re not prepared or use to it. If you love a deep crafting system look no further. Example: (Just on Tiles) mining minerals, each has a set of properties. Multiple mineral allow you to build tiles. However, because each mineral has a set of different attributes building tiles from Tin or from Copper will yield a different tile with different attributes protecting you from different environmental exposures at different levels and there durability will also be different. Color of tiles varies depending on what mineral you use. You build and craft base on your needs and level of protection you require. Not just a cookie cutter building game. Fully creative structure freedom. GUI – User Interface is easy enough to understand and is easy on the eyes. Not much flare nor, fancy icons or colors. Each tool you craft will bring up its onset of menus. It can be a bit confusing remembering what tools crafts what. Many recipes or parts building rely on each other to build a final product. This area needs some polish. Specially dealing with navigation and bringing up menus when having a tool in hand. Story – NO SPOLIERS - Although it is an open survival/sandbox crafting game it does have a hints of a story, giving you further incentives to explore your surroundings. Voice implemented into some of the logs would be a great idea. Multiplayer – The ability to see other players and see their building in progress work just fine in-game. While playing I ran across another player and walked around each other used the jet pack, animation seems good. One thing that would be plus would be able to see animation related to actions. ( Example if a player is typing txt . you would see him using the arm keyboard or if crafting you could see him moving in certain way related to what he is doing.. However we could not chat since they haven’t implemented one yet. It has been mentioned it will be out within the upcoming patches. Finding you’re previously played server can be a bit buggy and will take several attempts at a refresh. Should implement a favorite or previous player type of category. Also should add a single player’s menu area. Not having the ability to select single player mode from the main menu is a bit annoying if you did intent to play single player. Content – As it stands in its early access form it has enough meat and potatoes to meet your exploration, survival, crafting needs and plenty of eye candy. Keeping in mind it still in early access and it will have bugs. The community feedback and bug reporting will make for a better finish product, also taking consideration ROKH is been develop in partnership with Darewise Entertainment and NVIZZIO Creations making its early access support worth giving as it has a good starting foundation and good experience. Devs seems to have a guide on things to come with content and updates. So far enjoyed the gaming experience and look forward for things to come!

developers are scammers , this should be fkn refunded even after a year!
