Can't wait to give out my shekels. Nuff said.

Any want a beta key? It's one of a bazillion things I've backed as part of my Primordiagold reinvestment effort, but I'm never gonna get around to playing it.

I would happily take it off your hands

Well shit, if you ever do change your mind about playing it, I'll set you up.

Booted up on my way out to work. Liked the first couple minutes, nice setup to your first FedEx quest. Just kidding, I really do like the writing. The setting has a nice edge to it for sure.

Immediately found it grating that there is no way to walk. After leisurely getting up out of my easy chair to answer the phone, I had my choice of either running pell mell across the room or crabwalking like some kind of hunchback ninja. Drives me crazy in a game with so much atmosphere that my protagonist is the only man in the world who can't fucking walk.

This is a perpetual dilemma. Slow walk speed is miserable in all games, but running protagonist is often ridiculous.

I'll check out this game today even now that my country is out of the world cup

 

[MRY]

Especially now! It’s the perfect time for dystopia.

 

[frajaq]

So far the game is endearing in a E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy kind of way, where there's clearly some cool ideas with a interesting setting but the game feels kinda janky and some of the dialogue is in a language I don't understand

 

[Agame]

If the combat and the main story are half decent then this will be a classic.

Combat is real time so good luck... I guess the best we can hope for is janky Gothic style.

 

[INSOMNIA_The_Ark]

Oh crap, my work email was out of order for some time and I had no idea people kept posting here. Well, it's fixed now :D. Yesterday was a tough day - had to send emails with beta keys to 2600 backers, but now we have new feedback. Yay!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

janky Gothic style.

Its not Gothic by any means. More Elex than Gothic, honestly.

There's rolling in this game, right?

Apparently it wasn't the intent for the player to be unable to walk - they might fix this. Link

Not a deal breaker for me. If anything my ordinator can't run fast enough.

Yeah. Happy to admit I'm weird, but once I was able to make my avatar walk around in a game as if they were a person, it's been difficult for me to go back. Same thing with first person games with and without feet. Plus the thing with being unable to target the environment because I'm running past it too fast is real, for me anyway.

 

[Vexxt]

There's a lot to like so far, but I had to stop since once you get to the 2nd area the map is only in Russian - lol

 

[polo]

Been addicted to path of exile lately so i didn't try this yet. Whats the early consenssus? Good but unpolished beta?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Weird, I got through at least four zones, and they had ingles enough.

 

[Vexxt]

Ok - finished what was available for the beta -

The beta ends right when something really interesting is about to happen, and just after getting a cool weapon.

So far, I am enjoying the game. It's obvious the devs put a lot of work int the inventory items and character building. There's some cool classes of character to choose from - I chose to be a Tector.

There isn't enough of the game available to really dig into crafting or bartering, but the little that I saw was done well. I'm really looking forward to getting higher level gear and seeing what is possible.

My only complaint with the game is you can't look up\down with the camera much. I assume it's sop they could craft the world without having to worry about filling in the environment beyond your peripheral view.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yeah finished the beta part. Other than missing the backstep move they had way back, I'm pretty okay with ithe combat. I like how it's damn easy to take down bots in melee once you're in range, but fighting 'umies can be a problem.
I love the design of the weapons though.

Oh and that stealth kill might need some tweaking.

Still have no fucking clue wheres my key for the game/beta.

I must admit - for some reason notifications about new posts doesn't work for me any more.

There's some rolling indeed.

We've released a new update back on 6th of July so it should be fine now.

You are right. There's just no ceiling to look at
