In der Theorie ist das Spiel wirklich gut. Nur leider ist es schlecht umgesetzt. Es gibt leider noch sehr viele Fehler und Bugs die den Spielspaß rauben. Z.B. durch unerklärliche Plazierungsfehler im Rover Builder, Speicherfehler für die Testfahrt, wo am Ende alles wieder unwiderruflich gelöscht wird oder auch Speicherfehler beim Test fahren für die gesamte Steuerung, wenn man den Rover nicht vorher gespeichert hat. Das ist halt schon sehr niederschmetternd, wenn man viel Mühe und Zeit reingesteckt hat und am Ende alles wieder gelöscht wird, weil man voller Euphorie eine Testfahrt machen will und vergessen hat, denn Rover zu speichern.
Bugs in the rover editor and pieces not loading into the game levels, combined with a total lack of explanation for what connections between pieces are allowed in the rover editor, make this disappointing and frustrating to play.
Great game with awesome driving physics
Decent rover building game. It has a fair amount of official levels. There is no air, so you can't make planes or helicopters - it is focused on ground vehicles. Some things are a bit unintuitive like how to connect springs/suspension properly or axles, but with trial and error it's doable. A tutorial teaches the basics only (how to add wheels, steering, and power). It also has a level editor and a community workshop to share levels or rovers. If you have an itch about vehicle building to complete challenge levels, this is a very decent game. IMPORTANT: Undo seems to delete all custom controls, you should save whenever you modify inputs on a vehicle to avoid accidental erasure of inputs.
Muito difícil de construir. E muito restrito nas possibilidades até pra fazer um mecanismo pra virar o veículo(fazer curva) é trabalhoso. Acaba sendo frustrante.
*Update Dec2024 I've just realised my Nearly Motorcycle appears as the 2nd vehicle in the preview; that's really cool =================== CANNOT CHANGE GRAPHIC SETTINGS Game looks great but there aren't any settings to lower the resolution or details. So unless you have a powerful computer (or are willing to pay the scalpers $$$$ to upgrade your card), the game will run very slow. RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS ARE TOO LOW It says GTX 770 and i5. I have Ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram and Radeon RX550 (1030 equivalent), and the second level runs slow. PHYSICS DIFFER BETWEEN EDIT AND GAME In the editor, you vehicle will run good and solid. Bring it to the level and everything goes noodly. Things twist and over-flex making it had not to end up with something huge and performance affecting. Move tool's a bit complicated. You have to detach the thing you want to move, and it'll move everything that's attached to it as well. Missions are probably more fun on higher end systems, but at least you can build and move around in the editor space.
As reported by other players: too many bugs on the saving system, most of them on the control system. I gave up after 3 bug, luckly i spent less than 1 euro.
Wish there were more games like this . . .
I love the idea of this game, I do find the builder a bit hard to use, but I am getting used to it. The original problem with weak joints is long gone now. My only problem is figuring out the extra complexity that has come with more components. I will beat this game one way or another in the end :) Below is my original review. A glorious concept I love it. Making creations to complete tasks in levels is a great idea. my only problem with its game play being early access is that the joints are a bit to weak and as a result your creations sometimes just fall apart. But that's about it, it got one update shortly after release but I cant remember what was added and strangely I cant find it in the update logs. I purchased this at release if you pick it up for a $5 it can be a few hours of fun otherwise look for something else. This game is dead and completely abandoned. I wish it could have been finished as its really my kind of game. Edit: its not dead they are working on another version of this game according to their blog. At this time the last update as was a development trailer dated 14th Feb 2020
Im Sorry But I Dont Really Like This Game. Not For Me
