World of Wonder

It’s gorgeous. The vistas are stunning and once you fart around with some upgrades you can really rip around the place pretty quick.

By no means is it perfect, but for ten bucks it’s an easy recommendation.

Yikes.

Performance is hideous.

The gameplay is bland, you just surf from one area to the next, reading tutorials that are missing text because of the environment is covering it up.

The controls work sometimes and the grab detection is nonsense.

If you actually make it to an area without the numerous crashing you will get a sword with no vibration feedback.

And just as the lack of feedback so is the music. All you hear is wind.

Next area you get a gun thats not finished modelled.

And finally you get out of the tutorial just to get to an area filled with puzzles.

Carth

Carth

Carth is a multiplayer medieval light fantasy rpg that brings an enormous open world map to explore. The open world on Carth is filled with dozens of unique enemies, legendary items, scores of towns, and truly beautiful scenery. Carth is meant for long time game play and persistent worlds with heavy focus on survival, building, crafting, and the freedom to do what you want. Not to mention many smaller maps meant for faster game play types such as Siege, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Last Man Standing, Tournaments and more. Players shall be able to host their own public or private servers and select the type of game style they wish.

#### The Four Sibling Gods For hundreds of years the inhabitants of Carth lived in relative harmony. Carth was home to a multitude of different races, factions and clans. Though conflicts would arise from time to time, trouble would soon dissolve into the usual balanced equilibrium so typical of the land. All of this meant little to the four god siblings residing over the realm. The youngest of the four, Taernath, saw the inhabitants of Carth as weaker beings. At first, the dwellers of Carth were mere playthings. Slowly and subtly these manipulations turned towards true evil and corruption of their souls, minds, and bodies.

#### The Evil Within Taernath found the more souls he converted towards his ideals and worship the stronger he became. As a result, the Schism of the Gods came to pass. Once Taernath’s powers grew there was nothing his siblings could do but try to reason and slow his corruption. Their words fell on deaf ears and in one brilliant flash of cosmic light he reduced his siblings to nothing more than shadows of their former selves. With no one left to oppose him, Taernath was consumed by the very evil he once wielded. A darkness fell over Carth that had never been seen before. Portals to other realms opened by Taernath flooded the land with dark shadows and terrors. Tribes of orcs invaded further south from the Clincolt, unholy beings walked through the rifts, and peace was but a distant echo of the past. These are the times that you find at your feet.

#### Can you Survive Can you Survive with evil spread throughout all of the lands how shall you live your life? Shall you bend a knee to the evil that undoubtedly awaits you, or shall you stand and fight? Fight to survive, fight to live, or fight to end this darkness brought forth from Taernath? Can you survive in these times? Welcome to Carth

Harsh

An incredible indy game! fast paced and fun to play.

Real player with 42.7 hrs in game

The Game is still a little clunky, the AI tends to ignore you until you interact with NPCs and creatures ( but then they fight till one of you die evan the turtles ) . It is early access, but I see it as a STRANDED DEEP or HOLD YOUR OWN meets SAVAGE LANDS with a little extra magic tossed in. It still needs polishing but I think mthis game has real potential watch video:

After The End: The Harvest

After The End: The Harvest

Originally written for early access version 0.9u3 - 29May2017

Edited for version 1.4 20Jun2018

After nearly 90 hours and having seen the game to its completion, I’m finally comfortable editing in a final review.

Pros:

–- The game’s description and screenshots are very accurate for what you’re getting here: an expansive open-universe RPG with the look and feel of an old action-adventure SNES game.

— Among the biggest selling points for After the End continues to be developer interaction. Throughout the early access period and post-release, The Sworn has consistently been available to field questions and bug reports in the forums. I very much value this!

Real player with 86.6 hrs in game

UPDATED REVIEW:

In a time of loot box gambling and unfulfilled promises many devs have been screwing over customers so it’s nice to see

an early access dev actually keep true to their promises and finish their game. This game has a couple of small issues, but what it does achieve is

so fun and refreshing that it is worth peoples attention.

I originally played through and finished the game during its 0.08 alpha.

It was prety different but i loved it! You can read my original review under this one.

How to Survive

How to Survive

More or less detailed survival simulator + zombie grinder. Basically, survival part always puts you into some time limit, whether you have to find a place to sleep, or find food or water. But if you are careful and collect/use things around you in the right way, you’ll deal with that part easily. Then comes zombie grinder part - you have to autoaim with melee or self-made firearms, trying either to QTE or headshot every zombie you meet. Sounds simple, but it can actually be a lot of fun.

So, to pros:

-Quick Review-

Atratzu’s Rules: Chapter 1, this game is excellent.

How to Survive is a zombie-survival game developed by EKO Software and released October 2013.

-Detailed breakdown review-

Story: As with any “zombie apocalypse story” there’s only so much you can deviate from the status quo. You wake up after a shipwreck, find you’re on an island with zombies, need to go do a number of fetch quests while all the wimps hide and you bring the carnage!

Gameplay: This is where the game impressed me, but before I jump the gun and explain what I like… the controls are very basic, use mouse buttons to aim and fire/swing, ASDW to move, the game is played from the third person fixed above view camera.
