Atom Fishing II

Atom Fishing II

Review from George13 (Ingame nick)

The Positive:

Original game with good ideas behind. I like it , I played it for a while. I purchased the premium bottom feeder pack, a hat, several sets of glassies, badge, was VIP for a while as I always support the devs when I see something good with potential.

Despite the huge in my opinion potential of this game - it will (like many others before ) go down the drains unless some changes are made immediately:

1. Do not waste customers' money

2. Do not waste customers' time

Not recommended unless you want to pay $5 a month for VIP to get any kind of real progress out of the game and even then, the grind is still ungodly after a certain point. Hardly anyone speaks English, some menu texts are written in Russian. You cannot edit your character after you create it, so if you make a bad judgment on your color choice options for clothing and hair too bad, You want to change your facial hair? too bad. Auction house is riddled with bad business practices which people purchase vendor items at different locations then unsuspecting players will pay out up to twice or even three times the actual value because new players are unable to get to those areas and or locked out due to experience/rank/perks, or people who are desperate for those items will pay a hefty price because they are at a different location and too much of a hassle to travel. Not a very social game, nobody talks in chat, if they do, they speak Russian. Game is also online only, and if you are in USA you will encounter random dropouts from game kicking you to the main screen. Game used to be more popular when I first started but now it seems dead, everyone may be moving on to the next release, The Fisher Online which looks like an updated version of this game from what I’ve seen and I will not be purchasing that game. Uninstalled and moving on.

Nira

Nira

Nira is a pixel based RPG which heavily reminds me of the old Holy Grail on the Atari 800 from back in the 80s.

The price is very generous for the content, hard time, and updates to come.

I purchased this game moment it was released as I could not bare to be without Nira once the beta ended.

I had the opportunity to play this game and help with debugging and suggestions along with many others who helped out as well.

The game is quite simple to learn, and very enjoyable. It’s one of those games you start playing then realize the day flew by.

I’ve been really enjoying playing Nira, so far, I know it’s early days right now but I find the gameplay engaging and the items satisfying to obtain and use.

It’s very easy to get into; the way that the tools progress leads you nicely through the crafting tree, the combat is simple and rewarding (especially once you have gathered enough resources for projectile weapons), and I enjoy the foraging/farming aspect, it’s nice to see crops that you have gathered, or traded for, grow.

I cannot speak to the multiplayer myself, as I have yet to try it, but I enjoy the single player mode immensely.

Too Much Water

Too Much Water

I really enjoy how fresh “Too Much Water” feels. Many indie games tend to rely heavily on already successful elements from existing games, but this experience feels brand new, and I actually struggle to compare it to any other game I’ve ever played.

While steam has classified this game as a top down shooter, that is woefully inadequate. Yeah, guns exist, and you can get one fairly easily, but is that the best use of your time and limited resources?

The best description of “Too Much Water” is the one given by the dev- it’s a castaway simulator and a survival game.

Update Mar 2021 - The sole developer of the game, according to

his statement, has been (quite unexpectedly, judging by the tone

of his message) drafted into the Russian Armed Forces. My guess

as a former Soviet would be him suddenly dropping out of college

as a most likely reason. But I am not here to speculate.

Here is his message.

–——————————

An important announcement that you should know about. I, the developer of this game, was taken into the army until November 2021. Based on this, you have already realized that at this time I will not be able to continue development, and of course I will continue development with tripled strength when I return.

Winter Survival Simulator

Winter Survival Simulator

What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.

While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.

Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.

Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.

What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.

Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.

You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.

You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.

The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.

Arctic Anxiety

Arctic Anxiety

This is in fact a nice game and it should be a nice game and because of that i made this post so no offense the developer.

– This is in fact a nice game and it should be a nice game but because of all those devastating bug + other bug i feel it is on it’s place to warning you about what you really buying and i try for 122 hour to avoid this post as best i can just to give that hard working single developer to resposse and do something with it but nothing happens and i am afraid he gonna use several month or worst he is not able to fix them at all.

This is a really cool survival game and is really challenging. Early development and developer is active. Game is a great purchase, I picked it up for $4.99 how can you go wrong.

–———————- UPDATE November 2021 ————————

OK my above review I hold true to and I like the game but some time has passed, there hasn’t been an update of a pep from the developer, it appears this game is abandoned but who knows.

I will say there has been a few updates last year 2020 but until you see some progress with this game I would not suggest purchasing it.

Would you recommend this game to other players?

Yes, I have. My wife. But please continue to read.

Update 2021: I am unsure if I would recommend this game, as they have changed the trading policies where I can no longer help a new player out. This is one of the grindiest games I have played and that is the reason I was helping new player, There is inflation in this game, they continue to make the same ugly reel even more expensive without offering a better reel as a replacement. if your looking for a GRIND then yes play at your own risk

Avoid if you know what is good for your WALLET!

The devs continually decrease prices in GOLD, but INCREASE prices for silver for in game gear in order to try to extort players for money. On top of this, top end reels in game can cost as much as $200, if not more. UPDATE: I just checked the most expensive reel which is around 120 Gold in game. This would cost $240.00 according to their website. Completely absurd.

I have been a paying customer from July 4th 2019, until March 2020. I sincerely wish I never spent a cent on this stupid piece of crap, not to mention what my added up total came up to, which I am totally not proud of.

Wild West Dynasty

Wild West Dynasty: Cowboys, Settlers & Gunslingers

America in the 1800’s - the trails to the West: Settlers are committed on advancing further and further towards the US Pacific; in search of a better life, for business or adventure. They founded farms, raised cattle, dug for gold, built settlements and towns.

A small find of gold is often enough to draw hundreds of daring adventurers while quickly a small settlement becomes a flourishing town with saloons, merchants, gambling, adventurers, and gunslingers…

You gather food, hunt for animals and sell their meat and leather to settler trecks. Once you have established a decent ranch, other settlers may decide to stay and ask for permission to settle down. You start building a town with all its classic locations such as saloon, Sheriff office, stores and even hotels. Bandits will come your way, so you better learn shooting and defend yourself and the township properly. Hopefully you will find a wife and have a heir - so that your wild west dynasty can last for long.

It’s a fun game about being stranded on a desert island.

Some of the mechanics take a minute to get used to but on the whole I like the game, it’s very chill

Retreat To Enen

Retreat To Enen

About The Game

Retreat To Enen is an open world, survival game featuring foraging, gathering, fishing, crafting meditation and exploration. The game is set in 3600 C.E. After humanity had brought itself to the brink of extinction, a new society has formed. This society has a new reverence for nature and the Earth’s environment. As a rite of passage, you are sent to the legendary island of Enen to live off the land, increase your connection to nature, and become more mindful.

Mindfulness

We have consulted with multiple mental health professionals throughout the process to ensure that the game is providing the most relaxing and engaging survival experience possible. Throughout the island the player will find meditation points that will take them on guided meditations, and breathing exercises that will unlock new items to craft.

Open World

Enen is a large island that you will need to explore to locate new mediation points and gather enough resources to build their perfect camp. The island includes beautiful tropical beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking underwater environments. The dynamic weather system, day night cycle, and interactive foliage will fully immerse you in the world of Enen.

Survival

Everything you need to survive can be found on the island. Start with basic traps and foraging and eventually travel the island by kayak, sleep in a large hut with an indoor fireplace, and even soak in your hand crafted hot tub.
