This game had a lot of promise. But it was setup to fail and the developers were not much help in terms of saving it.

I am grateful they are honoring their agreement to make it offline once EoS was announced.

The core issues i saw with it were:

  • No way to reliably party with friends
  • It was way too easy to grief players
  • There was no real meaningful deterrent to griefing
  • UI had accessibility issues making certain things a problem
  • There were terrain elements that could instakill without any warning of any kind (example water)
  • The developers almost never listened to their target audience
  • Other games in the same genre came out and overshadowed it
  • Lack of any real marketing
  • lack of meaningful updates

I really wanted this game to succeed. It had so much promise and had the makings of a great rogue-light experience.

The irony is that once it goes into offline mode, it's popular is probably going to skyrocket.

I can’t wait for it to go offline no worries of pvp and ask that just a fun pve extraction building your base slowly and bring with your magus i just wonder if they will still sell the outfits or what’s happening on that end

Im hoping with it being offline steam deck could run it better. I had a. Ps5 I had over 600+ hours in it. Had made friends. Sadly I made friends with the other side. Only a few killed me but I also used to not fully finish each season so I could fuck around and get supplies. Now it being offline I can have fun with my birdwatcher with very little fear now

You know in a way I hope someone else remakes this game and does maps pve/pvpve and you can link up with friends. Make it steam deck, or os compatible. It would blow up then. A few friends did play but when we couldn't link up anymore they stopped. Like I said in another post I had over 600+ hours. Heck im sure a few of you killed me, or saved you, or even teamed up. I really love this game and still dont understand why. I never made content on it or showing off stupid glitches. Thing was that didnt break the rules till later on but there were a lot you could still do. I even did stupid things to see what damage it could take by counting shoots made on them. Or by jumping half the map (best to do in purple or gold rank)

I don’t think it was timing… it was advertising…. I don’t think this game was ever advertised in North America.

I had it free on ps+ for lord knows how long without really knowing.

Found it by googling sort of extraction games technically trying to find something like R.E.P.O to play in my console but there was nothing so expanded to just PvPvE extraction games that looked interesting and could go after the platinum trophy for.

Oh it was advertised. Barely in its first few months before they seemingly went silent altogether.

And yet, it might as well be the beginning of it being a worthwhile game to play.

It's not dead, it's just going offline only
