Good! Tons of content.

Choppen zonder te stoppen!

The idea of the game is fun, but it's really hard.

I feel that verhicles are too difficult to deal with for the average player or squad.

Building stuff is fun, but heavily underutilized and counter intuitive- defenses will reveal the rough location of your HAB which is not good.

Map size seems a little bit too big. It's not unusual for squads to just walk past eachother. It's impossible to watch every area unless you spread out massively, but the most fun in the game is when people are roughly in the same place helping eachother. Independent play is not so interesting. This makes defense difficult. More often than not, you will get trapped in your own defenses as the enemies easily walk around your strongpoints.

Anyways, don't be afraid to pick SL, grab a logi truck, build a FOB, HAB and ammo crate and move on. Don't be afraid to engage with the game- you might do it wrong, but it's better than not doing anything at all.

Communication is a good idea and it's fun. Turn your mic on.

Don't be afraid and experiment! Have fun!

edit: still fun, good updates

Really fun game, but requires patience and a good mindset.

Build garrisons, build nodes, listen to your squad leader and stay somewhat together and the game is way more fun. Better with friends. Play Anti-Tank, play support. Having a microphone helps alot.

Watch some videos about the game and mess around in the practice range to get the hang of everything.

It's ok. There's not that much content. Many of the unlockables / challenges are just frustrating chores. One shots aren't fun to deal with. Many items have no synergy or just don't do anything noticeable. The early game is a snoozefest. The timer is stupid, let me take my time to explore the map and collect items, which is the fun part of the game.

You can get a few hours of fun out of this, but it's not like other roguelikes where you'll drop hundreds of hours easily before even being done with unlocking new stuff.

Mods will give you a few hours of fun too but they don't do that much. New characters are fun for 2-3 runs and then it's just too mindless and unengaging to keep playing.

I am hopeful for the supposed new update coming out. I hope they will overhaul the game to introduce new synergies and more customization for characters. Enter the Gungeon managed to do it and I hope this game will do it too- pull away from the gameplay feeling the same every run by introducing a ton of 'hard coded' synergies that change the way you play. And new items that are fun and not just 'you do a little more damage sometimes'.

I really want to recommend this game but I won't even bother talking about the mechanics. There's simply too many bugs, dysfunctional matchmaking and it just sours the whole experience.

The core gameplay is enjoyable but multiplayer stealth is difficult. If anyone messes up, everyone is punished, and because there's 4 of you, there's 4x the chances for a mistake. The shooting is good enough, but more often than not enemies teleport, lag and jitter, standing up in a single frame due to stagger animations, attacking you before their model has finished climbing up a ladder..

The game has been out for a long time and yet I've encountered +- 20 serious bugs that completely ruined the experience. Enemies randomly waking up in stealth, invisible doors, visible doors that are not there for my teammates. These issues are apparent and constantly complained about by the community yet the developers do not seem to recognize or admit that they exist, offering no help on their Discord, although they make it seem like they do.


Edit: A harsh review but looking at it later I still agree with it. Many issues I encountered have been in the game for far too long. It's fun- But as usual, it needs work. I'm sure the devs are doing their best. But man, bugs in a long hardcore game like this SUCKS

Fun, but the lives system is kinda annoying. You can have a fun build, then get unlucky and have to start over. Would much prefer playing 20 rounds and just seeing how much I can win, instead of it being cut short by virtue of bad luck.

Fun game, but I think the 'escape to camp' mechanic sucks. Very unlike a traditional roguelike where you keep going until you die, you are heavily incentivized to just stop playing and restart to save resources.

Other than that, I really like the graphics, sound effects and gameplay. It's a little slow to get going ( you definitely need to save those resources and not try for another loop) but the core gameplay of finding secret tile combinations is very fun

Got burned down by poison after getting a Kappala in Caves 2. Could not find Monty for the life of me in the cursed jungles. Died. I had a jetpack too..

Really fun, maximalist sequel to Spelunky 1, hard as nails, but it's not raw mechanical skill or reflexes, it's mostly patience that will win you the game. And some smart decision making!
