The Harvest

The Harvest

The Harvest is a fresh new take on Class-Based Hero-Shooters. Fight along with your teammates from different civilizations against other players to take control of the universe’s essence.

Define your combat style as you play, gaining and combining different abilities to become the best squad. Discover this new sci-fi universe and get ready, THE HARVEST has begun!

The Harvest goes beyond the common class systems in the shooter genre thanks to the Dynamic Class-Based System. Choose your Breacher, select your base set-up and build your full potential during combat in a flexible abilities system.

During The Harvest teamwork is rewarded, so all your teammates will benefit from the resources you get. Control the key zones of the map to gather enough resources and upgrade your Breacher. To survive The Harvest you will have to team up with your mates and build the best strategy, but if things get messy, you can always use the “Respawner” to revive the fallen.

O’Ree-Jin is an uninhabited planet that contains the remains of an ancient civilization that controlled the most precious substance in all of creation, the Essence. The planet is a zealous protector of the Essence, but it opens itself at undetermined intervals and for an undetermined time span.

The Harvest is a new IP created from scratch with deep lore. It has different civilizations, heroes, conflicts, risk-taking and, maybe, chivalric romance in its background.

Discover all the stories about each Breacher, their civilizations and their motivations to risk their lives in The Harvest. Find your most suitable Breacher among the different civilizations in this new space opera and get ready for THE HARVEST!

  • A new class-based hero-shooter.

  • Improve your skills and stats during combat.

I want to first of all thank the developer for offering me a free evaluation key to his first game title here on Steam so that I could provide this review.

Unfortunately, that’s about all the thanks I can give this developer. I certainly can’t thank him for cobbling together a bunch of ultra cheap Unity store assets into the massive mess of a game he presents to the Steam store here. It’s a nightmare and asking a nickel for this game would be asking way too much for it.

Take a look for yourself in my First Impressions Review video HERE:

My hours. help.

I wrote something for real!

These hours are legit, I played this game a lot in the past to avoid some tragic stuff in real life. I was young and didn’t really have my gaming consoles anymore because of my brothers and I had a really bad pc, which i still own. TF2 was one of the games i could play pretty well on this pc but with horrid graphics, but it was one of the more fun games I installed. I met some real cool and nice people on this game as well as people who i plan to keep by my side. The community back then was more humble compared to nowadays. You have competitive gamers who spam their bind keys with unfunny/gross jokes and very obnoxious people who are either yelling at you or telling you to do specific things to win the game. When really, it doesn’t even matter if you win or lose. However, you also have those people who are really awesome and you may meet some nice friends along the way! Although you never know what kinda person you’re going to meet on this game. In my honest opinion, if you want to have a game to just waste time on (and money) or just mess around with people you know (which is what I do now), this is perfect. Esspecially the mann vs. machine co-op. I mainly play that now. Although to me, the game lost its touch, update wise, and I moved onto other games.

This game carries such an emotional valence for me that I hardly even know where to begin. Let me tell you about the match I just played. Then try this game.

Two teams spawned in locker rooms, with an assortment of specialized classes ranging from gunmen to support to explosive experts. With a feeling of determination all set out to prove themselves in the battlefield. In the fierce thunderdome of ctf_turbine, bullets ricocheted and jars of pee rained. As a soldier myself, I was able to rocket jump around the map and deliver swift explosive death to nearly any class. I just had to remember to watch my back for spies and be wary of enemies with medics. The battle flowed back and forth with both teams taking turns occupying the thunderdome of a mid that is ctf_turbine, neither willing to give up. This continued for half an hour.

Having played this game since the PSVR beta, I must say I enjoy the gameplay to this day! It is a polished experience with a great art style and ambient sound that is immersive. The lobby filling mechanics allow for unending play sessions (against bots or players) and very rarely have I experienced connection issues. Character designs are impressive with attention to little details that you would not otherwise know are there unless you take the time to look closely. Fights against players are intense as the sense of presence becomes more clear during battles. The variety of abilities keeps each character fresh and makes for great counter selections during pregame lobby character picks.

Well polished game that feels like another VR essential title.

  • The game requires snap/smooth turning (if you turn with your body, the character’s body doesn’t turn with you)

  • Index Controller configuration isn’t the best for switching abilities. This can be changed easily. I recommend changing the ability swap control to left trigger.

  • No crouching. The game will snap you into a standing position if you crouch with your real body. This seems to be intended so that you can play seated.

  • No items to purchase mid-game for your hero (like most MOBA’s). Though you won’t be bothered by it nearly as much when you see how busy the game is even without items.

Dirty Bomb®

Dirty Bomb®

Dirty Bomb is a fast paced shooter with parkour elements and great gunplay with large, multiple objective maps.

For each match you build a squad of 3 mercenaries (“mercs”) you can switch to with each respawn cycles. This gives you a lot of variety in how you approach certain situations and which role to take in the team. Although each merc can perform any action the game requires, different mercs excel at certain tasks: medics can revive downed players quickly, engineers can repair, plant and defuse faster and combat mercs have “bigger” guns and more health. However, every merc is fully capable of winning a fire fight, so there’s no need for medics to camp it out in the back.

Update: They don’t. Stay clear of these reprehensible developers at all costs. They are run by extremely condescending and egotistical degenerates that:

talk down to to paying customers and lie to their audience to cover up incompetent game design and complete lack of a roadmap;

add characters to the game to its detriment so they can crutch on them in public lobbies;

ignore player feedback while not having any personal ingame experience;

remove dissenting PTS voices;

skip the QA process resulting in entirely nonfunctional updates;

Battleborn

Battleborn

Okay, let’s start with a simple statement about Battleborn: Battleborn is a game rife with marketing issues and inconvenient circumstances that, at its core, is a very fun and entertaining game that has only increased my respect for Gearbox.

Battleborn is a hero shooter/MOBA, which differs from multiple similar games like Overwatch and Paladins because it has universal mechanics for characters that are used to fight, and unique mechanics designated to maybe one or two characters in the roster. You pick one character at the beginning of a match or mission, and then you are stuck playing them for the rest of the match. This leaves a lot more competitive potential to the game than its charisma and PvE system will let on, but we’ll touch on that later.

Real player with 1710.9 hrs in game

Mishandled, overlooked and abandoned.

Weird or sometimes even broken mechanics, items and character skills (and their helix powers).

Misdirected by Gearbox trying to make a competitive game while a better choice was to focus on casual market instead.

Before this game entered ‘free trial’ you had to buy it and grind for hours in order to unlock new characters and important gear while OW straight up gave you all available characters right at the start.

Optimizations for some maps/areas were crap.

Eternity Protectors

Eternity Protectors

…what if we mixed Space Invaders and Zelda’s Boss Fights…!?

Short Story:

They are coming. Ready your weapons. Get behind that wall. SHOOT. … AND RUN!!

Short Description:

  • Dodge: Skillfully evade, block or explode enemies' attacks before they reach you.

Story:

After years of battle, the Tree of Eternity was damaged by a big attack from the Demon Lord, at the cost of his own (resurrectable) life.

Still, the Undead and other chaos creatures are here believing they can give the final blow.

Other living races, watching how the Tree of Eternity is damaged, are trying to capture the fortress, believing they can do a better job on defending the Tree than the current defenders.

You, the Eternal Protector, are here to prove all of them are wrong.

As the lead programmer of this game, I can say we really put a lot of thought into making a game with constant action, no downtime. I of course recommend the game, it is a great game in times like these, hop in and play a few games with your friends who you can no longer see in person!

I know one of the people that worked on this game and it’s great seeing it come to life. It takes a lot of hard work to do something like this. Worth spending the 2 bucks just to support these guys, and play a fun game.
