Mhm. Downloaded it. It is very pretty....checking the soft-launch thread, one of the last posts has a bunch of criticisms. We will just have to see... Slate Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2015 145 6 18 Game Taster Wisconsin #4 Slate, Nov 3, 2016 Cool game but it appears I have become stuck. It wants me to equip a simple bandana but I do not have it. boodro82 Well-Known Member Nov 28, 2012 57 0 0 #5 boodro82, Nov 4, 2016 I played for a couple of hours and enjoyed it. Came back a few hours later and I had to start over. It didn't save my progress. WeAreLegion Member May 30, 2014 7 0 0 #6 WeAreLegion, Nov 4, 2016 So far.... I like it! Not feeling burned like with most of his other titles. I think it helps that there was zero hype around this one. Hard to disappoint when one goes in with no expectations! # Serious observation: The way it handles multiplayer is interesting and the apparent customization intrigues me. Also the durability of items is a nice touch, IMHO, and so far I have not felt any pressure around the IAPs. ludka33 Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2013 217 0 16 #7 ludka33, Nov 4, 2016 Looks like an interesting concept.

Something that uses physics for inventory management. Very clever. I didn't know there is an offline mode so I have no idea how that works but if you are connected then I think you are playing with other people. Like trading or stealing their stuff while they are picking up items from log or rabbit. Item creation takes up to 1 minute but (AFAIK) you cannot skip it and you can create other items simultaneously. I'm half way through though and maybe settling is gonna take long time. Soft-launch players have any idea? And lastly what do you guys think about $8 pack (New Explorer Offer) game offers for 4 days? It gives you 2 clothes (that don't have durability) and 88 Gold. So you can complete the set (buying other parts for 20 each) and never have an issue with reparing your clothes (I guess). Did anyone buy this pack or will game offer you new (maybe better) deals later? It says on store page there is "Starter Pack" for $2 but I didn't see one in the game. Edit: Just tried the offline mode. Game's just using other people's names and the AI is all you are seeing. Like in Forza Horizon. !nsomn!ac Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2013 80 0 0 #17 !nsomn!ac, Nov 4, 2016 Very interesting and addictive game, but it laggs horribly on my iphone 6plus, with updated ios. It also destroys the already crappy battery life I have with this iCourage software update. Hope they can fix the lagg, I got some sticks and apples to gather =D Puke Aces Well-Known Member Feb 12, 2014 238 0 0 Here and there (but not everywhere) #18 Puke Aces, Nov 4, 2016 I'm just glad we have the choice for offline. This really feels like a good adventure to experience on the road (or trail) IOSgamer1980 Well-Known Member Nov 6, 2015 432 2 18 #19 IOSgamer1980, Nov 4, 2016 How necessary is the IAP? Is it just there to give you a starting boost or a better overall arc trajectory throughout the game as a whole, or is it grindy and in need of IAP to achieve a proper pace? Nachtfischer Well-Known Member Feb 7, 2013 230 8 18 Game Designer Germany https://ludokultur.de/ #20 Nachtfischer, Nov 4, 2016 In beginning you don't need them at all but it soon ramps up so that you won't survive a single run between two checkpoints, and then you either pay or potentially get your stuff stolen. Classic F2P move. Pretty devious application. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
