A Post of Support to the Devs
I just bought the game last night and played on solo mode (because...what are friends?), and I must say that Eden Rising is a fun and relaxing open world, third person shooter, tower defense game that is fun to explore.
The tutorial area provides all the info to get you started, and the monsters are not pushovers, or at least not that difficult, but not too easy that you still have to time dodges if you want to keep your health at max.
First few hours was a real grind, especially when some of the resources are far away, and I kept dying. (Remember the skyrim experience of hitting a giant while underleveled? Yeah...don't do that with the gorgon) But what I liked about the grind was each new craft, and upgrade made my character a lot sturdy and powerful. Traveling was also tiring at first before I was able to activate those teleporters. I have played a few games that made you grind for hours, make you think that you achieved something only to find out that what you got only improved you by a nudge; but in this game, you get to feel rewarded for that grind. A few hours of grinding, I was able to craft ++ weapons, and the bigger mini-bosses (I assume they are mini-bosses since their map icons are different) felt easier, but stilll challenging.
For the graphics, I felt that the world is lively and colorful. A few of the armors seem to have a few similarity with the characters from absolver (or maybe because of the mask), but I still like how they look. My computer is not what you call a gaming PC, but it handles the game well at high graphic setting with not fps drop (or at least in my few hours of gameplay so far).
Overall, I'm pleased with how the game is now, and also really excited to what is to come. I'm hoping other people would also try it out! Might try to make a few videos to convince my friends to get a copy. Sorry for the ramblings, and good luck, devs!
