Voxile

Well, this is just another game that's going on the list of "Games That I Regret Buying and Can't Refund". It's interesting in theory, but the combat, which is the main staple of this game, does not MAKE ANY SENSE. All enemies, even on the easiest setting possible in the entire game, hit like a semi running into a glass house. Health regeneration is "supposed" to be faster on the easiest setting. You regenerate 1, yes ONE, HP every thirty seconds. Or sometimes you don't, apparently, because I actually left my computer for ten minutes, and my health hadn't gone up at all. Higher difficulties apparently make the regen-time even longer. And that wouldn't be even half as bad if it weren't for one extremely irritating thing: every attack enemies do to you sends you flying miles away. And I'm stuck with a wooden stick that can only reach arm's length. Which means if I'm fighting a ranged enemy, he's going to beat the ever-loving snot out of me before I even take a quarter of his health away. You can also block, but not ranged attacks. And blocking also knocks you backwards, too. Oh, and your wooden stick? Its durability decreases very fast. After fighting and managing to somehow kill 3 enemies, the stick was 80% broke. They have repair kits, but I'm not sure WHY I would use them. They're so incredibly rare to find and don't fully repair your weapons anyway. And you can't craft them either. Good luck finding another! To top the icing on the already hellishly pain-inducing radioactive cake, Survival makes it so that enemies start out at level 3-5 and spawn right next to where you start out. There are no level 1 enemies. And if you die to the enemies, which are right next to the spawn, they pummel you over and over as you just...keep...dying. There's apparently craftable armor in the game, but there's nothing in the game or on the forums that indicates how to make it. But I guess I made boots. I'm not sure what they do, but...I sure made them alright. Finally, yes: there's a ranged weapon. I made a crossbow. It barely takes away 10% of an enemies health, does not knock the enemy back an inch, and takes at least 5 seconds to reload while the skeleton in front of me can make 1-2 attacks per second. And the materials used to make the bolts? They only drop from enemies. That's right: I need 10 bolts to kill 1 Roc and POSSIBLY, and ONLY POSSIBLY, get the feathers necessary to make more bolts. One feather=one bolt. WHHHHYYYYY???!!!! There's no indication on how to do...anything in the game. I had to search Google just to figure out that I had to craft Hands to move placed furniture. And the only way to progress further is to get higher-grade materials, which are blocked by enemies that are stronger than you and force you to kamikaze your way through the horde just to find out that the chest you desperately fought for does NOT, in fact, have anything worthwhile. And the "quests" are just as helpful. There was a quest that literally said "Conditions not met". What conditions are not met? How do I progress this quest? Google didn't tell me. The forums didn't tell me. Guess I'll just ignore the very first questline I got while starting my new world. You got my money, VoxRay, I'll give you that. But man was I suckered. I do not recommend this game and never will until something is done to fix this combat. Which, again IS THE THE MAIN STAPLE OF THIS GAME AND WHY I EVEN BECAME INTERESTED IN THIS GAME!
