I can't even start the tutorial; the game crashes.
I have set up my Company Name/logo/colors/avatar/etc about ten times now. I select the mower to test drive, and it hangs on the loading screen of the next map. One time it finished loading and I could hear the audio of the next screen but it was still frozen on the loading screen.
Verified, uninstalled, reinstalled.
What a waste of five dollars.

I can not change Owen's Hat color. They all appear as yellow flower/brown stripe. I will gladly change this review.

What I liked:
-The general gameplay
-I am perfectly fine with the Synty assets and graphical style.
-The sound effect for the level-up currency is not grating

What I disliked:
-Some of these things will change for me over time as I learn, and they do not really cause me to regret purchasing this game.
-The comic-book style story telling is great, but the font they used when there is dialogue is not comic-booky at all
-There is no way to disable the Mute Audio on Focus Loss (the game does not completely pause though, so that is good)
-There is auto fire, but not full auto aim.it is "something like" 90-180 degrees auto aim in the direction you are facing.
-Ricochet bullets are way too flashy.
-When pausing the game, I cannot use the cancel button to leave, I must press the pause button to leave the pause menu.
-I do not think that this game allows you to purchase permanent upgrades like in other vs style games. There are unlock conditions for other things and playable characters (kill this many with lightning), which I am familiar with, but I was also hoping to start a run slightly faster or slightly stronger without Fusion.
-At first, the menu felt clunky with a controller. Some aspects of the menu like ticking checkboxes (for Filter) I was forced to use my mouse because incorrect controller presses moved me away from what i was looking at. I do not know how to uncheck that box on the controller. One example of my experienced clunkiness: In the Battle Tab, I can press LT to go to the Fuse menu, but I do not know the kb/m command to get to the Fuse menu. Clicking on it does not work. After pressing LT to Fuse, and then A to Quit, my left thumbstick does not work to move me away from my character icon..but after clicking on Quit with the mouse from the Fuse menu, I CAN click on other characters in the Battle tab. In the Fuse menu, after a fusion, the second perk that was added has a white scroll bar to show more of the text description, but I can not use the scroll wheel, move the scroll bar with the mouse, or use the directional pad to see what else was written there.
-The Catalogue does not allow you to hold left thumbstick to scroll. You must press down on the left thumbstick over and over again (not L3 click). (I do not know how to change the Filter checkbox or access the dropdown menus with the controller.) The scroll wheel on the mouse does work, but there is no scroll bar. There is also no page drag and scroll. There is a small white down arrow but it can not be clicked to navigate downward, I think it is just an indicator that there are more items to view.
-The Catalogue does not allow rotation when viewing.
-Characters do not allow rotation in the Battle tab.
-The Catalogue does not show magazine sizes, or cooldowns, or any number values at all.
-Please fix!! I do not know how to open the map during gameplay. The button prompt underneath the mini-map (View button/pizza boxes) does not take me to a full map or close/toggle the mini-map.
-I dislike that there is multiplayer achievement.
-Sometimes the game will crash.
-Please fix!! I just fused my first character to have a dog and he whistles too much! On another Gladiator run I didn't even have a dog and he was whistling. This is very annoying. Please reduce this by 95% !
I found my first few hours of this game to be fun. I will play it for more than five hours.

Another female playable character would be nice.
One of the people on the steam store image is a boss, I bought the game thinking they would all be playable characters. (I guess that is my fault being as how the title is Survivor singular).
I loved the music that I have heard so far. It is not so annoying that I had to turn it off like in other games.
There is no auto-aim, so like in Army of Ruin's early release it is basically 'face your opponent to attack and then run away while you're on cooldown.' This does get better over time as you unlock more things like knock-back and then you're having to push forward.
I really hate the green bottle thrower on the first stage.
Is this actual Karate or is it something else, or other things?
For four dollars, I will get more than 4 hours of gameplay, and I do not regret buying this.

Refund the game now if you can; it will definitely go on sale again, if the game ever gets fixed.
The game crashes so much, with no pattern.
I have tried EVERYTHING. With 91 hours "played," about 5 times that amount was spent crashing and redoing the same things (crash right before save). Even still, most of that 91 was spent with just the game open while search engine-ing fixes.
All of the garbage yellow dev suggestions are worthless. WHATEVER YOU ARE ABOUT TO SUGGEST, I HAVE ALREADY TRIED IT. All of the other community suggested fixes have not helped.
My hardware far exceeds the recommended specifcations. Every other triple-A game that I have works. It is not my graphics settings, internet, anti-virus, firewall, clocking, ram, mpo, tdr, page file, ... Believe me, I have tried E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
The log files show the same errors, sometimes the same error 10 times in a row in the SAME MINUTE, within seconds of each other.
-UplayGameConnectionHandler.cpp I have this one over thirty times in the same SECOND.
This game is broken.
I have crashed:
-standing perfectly still in the pre-load area
-standing perfectly still doing nothing after leaving the pre-load area
-In every tab of the pause menu; Abilities, Skills, Inventory, Map, Quest, Order, etc. not even moving the cursor
-Right before approaching something important
-Right before collecting/completing something important
(imagine approaching a mystery, crashing, reloading, starting the mystery, and crashing right as you were about to complete it) (same with raids, zealots, every collectable, and pretty much EVERYTHING IN THE GAME that you want to complete/check-off and save)
-calling bird
-calling mount
-entering or exiting a "cutscene," either a full on video or a dialogue sequence where I do not have control of my character
You got my money for the game, plus $55usd on helix, congratulations!

I will NEVER buy a Ubisoft game ever again.

You can not "skip" and take no upgrades.
There is so much exhaustingly boring dialogue. Maybe not that much, but when you've seen it already and don't care the second or twentieth time and just want to keep playing, and it takes forever to skip past, it is exhausting.
One evolution requires 3 items at either level 8 or level 9 (i don't even know because most items after they reach 8 you can upgrade again anyway) and with only 3 upgrade card choices, no skips bans or rerolls, i just gave up after four hours of trying.
Aside from the "story" "missions" which seem like short challenges that you need to be strong enough for, there are basically only 3 maps with varying difficulties.
This game could be good, but it's not.
There is a lot of room for improvement, and after a year of waiting I just don't care anymore. Even the trailer video still says "coming soon."
They don't even have a bundle with the DLC in it.
If you have enjoyed VS Soulstone YAZS DRG:S Sexy Mystic Survivors, this game will be disappointing
I can not recommend this game for purchase.

I have refunded this game.
Although I enjoyed the gameplay, and thought the graphics and gameplay were crisp and clean, I do not like that Yasuke is spelled differently in the game than on the "roadmap."
Yasuke is the reason I refunded this game.
The music can get twangy and annoying during bossfights.
I do not like the character design for Athena and I do not like anyone's shoes either.
The vehicles never appealed to me and were never a factor for me when purchasing the game, but I am forced to use them for their "exit weapons" or invulnerability during bossfights. Left stick in desired direction is accelerate, which can get wonky when trying to turn. If we could get analog sensitive RT to accelerate...
I already feel like there is too much dashing and there will be a lot more later.
The Oni King Shuten Doji head is kind of bigger than it needs to be. Do we really need it droning around us and following us around?
Other QoL like LMB not working sometimes in menus when using a controller, and other menu related problems when using both controller and mouse will likely get patched eventually; they are not a major concern to me.

This game does not halt gameplay as soon as you level up to present choices of upgrade cards. I would like the option of having this, as I do not like having to do it myself.
Upgrade cards do not completely block the screen, which I did appreciate, and I thought it was cool to see everything in slow-motion (the game does not completely pause)

I was able to last 28 minutes in my first run before giving up and wanting to upgrade and take a break.
I would probably have kept the game and enjoyed it for more than 200 hours, but in the end it was Yasuke that turned me off.
The game reminds me of a cross between Zengeon and Defend Earth Xenos Survivors.

This game is so good.
I never even use vehicles. I have nothing bad to say about this game.
I am just waiting for more DLC's that I will gladly pay for.

This game does not hold your hand in the beginning. I finally unlocked the gunner, and I can say in my 1.9hrs on record, this game is already worth it.
There is no stupid boring slow story with stupid boring slow transitions between each dialogue and stupid slow message speeds with letters being typed out super slow where you cant even press a button to instantly display the message. You just launch the game, select a character, select a stage, and you're in.
There's no piles of feces scattered all over the floor with throaty gutteral tribal chanting and drums and stupid fonts.
There's no stupid attack animations covering the screen or annoying flashing.
I did not have to do any extra stupid things for 21:9 or controller support.
Selecting perks is one click to select it and you're back in the game.
Will I regret this purchase after 20 hours? Most likely not.
I can only hope for more milestone related achievements; collecting 250 gold is kind of a freebie.
I can only hope for more DLC's for cosmetics, Bosco skins or paint jobs, etc.

This game is surprisingly very good.
-The clock counts upwards, allowing you to forget about it completely :D I survived over 5 minutes in my first run, and that was checking things out, reading everything, looking at the cute rats, not even really trying. I was thinking to myself "if i die ill buy what i can and try again" I wasn't thinking "I wish this was a 90 second wave because its too hard and im a crybaby and im lazy and im stupid."
-I like the soundtrack so far and I like that the sound effects aren't grating,
I wish there were more female characters.
The game has Russian Localization and Achievements and I can get a pet cat.
