The Blight

1/19/23 Update: DO NOT BUY, game is essentially ABANDONED! Zero updates since September, nothing online about the developer and the Forum is also dead (60+ Days since last activity). Below is my original review: Lots of Default Unity Assets: HUD, basic layout and the starting area items are defaults without much change. No Controls Customization either. (Update:Control Customization is promised to be fixed in the near future but why sell this game without them in the first place?) Also I posted in the Forum with my feedback and was Banned by the Dev for "Hate Speech" and below is exactly what I wrote so you can be the judge: "I don't care thats its on sale right now or that you're calling it "Early Access" but if you can't even take the time to change the default "Cloth" and "Small Stones" and just use a default layout as well, you should NOT be charging money for this game. Period. I saw 4 Good Reviews and I'm Questioning those now. This should be in Free Alpha or Beta-Testing for a closed group of players, not for sale" If you agree that is Hate Speech then by all means you're welcome to spend your money, but I would hold off for at least 6 months to see if it's getting updates to not look like a Asset Flip. 07/09/22 EDIT: To the Dev's Response, my Post that was banned did not call the game an Asset Flip, I put it word for word and it wouldn't be part of my review if your team hadn't banned feedback. Most of what you wrote should have been a reply to my forum post, but your "Ban" mentality ended any discourse. Your first response on Day 1 of Release shouldn't be "Ban Criticism" and especially not call it "Hate Speech" 09/10/22 EDIT: Checked back after 60 Days and STILL the Default Assets have barely been customized and the Crafting Menu is still the default asset. For future reference here's the Asset Pack that makes up most of the game: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/stp-survival-template-pro-207954 11/20/22 EDIT: Wanted to update since its been over 60 days since last checking in and Zero News from the Devs or Patch/Update. Leaving original review as is because its still true over 4 months after game's release Ban Screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833620455

Anvil, workbench, parts of custom base building and standing torch all gone after loading saved game. Walked for over an hour and only saw trees, stone shards, and some sticks here and there. Managed to see a hut but after that nothing of significance, I'll try again in a few months but I can't recommend this title at the moment.

Not at all worth the asking price, even on sale right now. No challenge and not nearly enough content. What is here does show a lot of promise however, and this game might be worth checking out in six months or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGIeZAkHUG0 Turns out that this game afterall is indeed just a lazy ASSET FLIP! https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/stp-survival-template-pro-207954 It's not a crime to use assets in your game, but when an asset kit is 90% of what you upload and sell on Steam and you do just minimal work, you should be ashamed. Shame on you dev for being yet another asset flipping L. Capital L. ..You're not a "developer", you're just another asset flipper. *yawns* NOT Recommended at launch. Refunded.

Your better off buying The Forest if your looking for something similar but playable or 7 days to die...except 7dd is actually an awesome game. Yeah this game has some really bad bugs. First of all you can't hear zombies....at all they don't make any sound unless your hitting them. So silent footsteps in a heavily forested area with foliage all over.....no thanks how are we suppose to know an enemy is coming at us? precognition? Although thats annoying its not nearly as bad as needing cloth for healing and nearly everything else in early game but can you craft cloth? no....does it drop frequently from zombies....no so your just playing a luck game hoping you get enough cloth when your definitely not going to. Lighting affects are....alright. You can't swing your fists you need an actual weapon to fight....never met a human that didn't know how to throw a punch. Zombies range with a knife is the same range as your spear....that does not make any sense. The day night cycles seem really unbalanced day last maybe an hour or so and night lasts quite a bit longer. you can only carry 2 logs and 3 rocks but a good portion of the buildable things require more than that close into proportions to double of that or triple so expect to be running back and forth a lot to craft very basic things. Also there is nothing to tell you that a tree is getting cut down other than the chopping sounds. the progress of the tree doesnt show, like is it taking damage? I wasn't even sure my axe was working for the first couple minutes of chopping oh....and it should not take me 3 minutes to chop down a single tree. This game needs some hardcore balancing and a way to craft the basic resources you need. Otherwise how are we suppose to do anything? Also I died and came back and on my second run after dying I tried finding my body that was gone and the building that I died near had disappeared as well but it was an in game structure. Also I'm not sure how your expected to get food but there are few wild animals and next to no plants for eating also you can't hold berries in your inventory you eat it on the spot and killed a bear its drops were not worth the effort I had to put in to kill it.....I don't know at this time this game seems really unplayable definitely needs to be taken off the market DON'T BUY THIS GAME.

At this point the game is not playable. You cannot save your game and there is not a whole lot to do as of yet either. The game has promise and if the devs keep at the game it could be a great survival game.

Bought this game on sale and i think it's amazing. Pros: + I really like the lighting effects + Great sound and menu soundtrack + The night is actually scary, so i would advise getting a sleeping bag asap + Zombie textures are great and graphic + Overall visual quality for a game like this is great + Crafting system is simple and easy to understand + Lots of animals, bears do massive dmg + A Few points of interest to find Cons: - Maybe it's just me, but i never hear the Zombies close to me. (Got absolutely folded once by suprise) Overall i think it's a 4/5 solo survival game from a small studio. I would recommend it to a friend, maybe someone with more survival game experience than me.

超劣化版Forest 基本的なサバイバル要素はおさえていますが、すべてにおいて安っぽい MAPも狭く、水の中にも入れない 建築要素も弱く、拠点というより住む家を作るだけ 動物も熊、鹿、兎は発見しましたが、プレイした限り木にハマって狩り放題 貰える肉や皮も同種類で熊を狩る理由が見つからない 全体的に作りが甘く、底が浅い 現状ではオススメはどうやってもできません（返品済み YOUTUBEに動画をUPしました、参考になれば幸いです https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFndfAx7DYQ

I'm not much of a survival game player myself but i did enjoy the time i spent playing it. It might have some bugs here and there but with a bit of time, i'm sure this will be a fun game to play. I did come across a few bugs however: - items falling through the map and other assets - Flying bears - clipping through a few stones while being hit by a mob Things i found enjoyable were: - animations feeling smooth and fluid - the background music choice - gun play

Lo acabo de probar y el juego aun está muy verde...Por eso no recomiendo su compra ahora mismo aunque tiene buena pinta pero le hacen falta unas actualizaciones ya!!Se hace denoche muy muy pronto y dura lo mismo o mas que el dia,los zombies una vez muertos se quedan tirados de por vida en el suelo igual que los animales,no te puedes meter en el agua y el crafteo al igual que los materiales son bastante escasos ...repito, acaba de salir en acceso anticipado y está verde pero si lo actualizan con cositas en breve yo creo que valdrá la pena!
