  • The game has a unique post-apocalyptic dieselpunk setting with potential to stand out in its genre.
  • Vehicle management aspects like fuel, armor, ammo, and survival mechanics are well-liked and enjoyable.
  • The developers are active, responsive to player feedback, and committed to ongoing improvements and updates.
  • The game feels barebones and unfinished with repetitive gameplay and lack of meaningful open-world exploration or quest variety.
  • Vehicle customization is limited to a few upgrades rather than true customization, and controls and combat feel clunky or inadequate.
  • The overall optimization and mechanics, including graphics and physics, are poor, causing frustration and detracting from the experience.

    The gameplay is criticized for being basic and underdeveloped, with a broken loop and clunky, repetitive mechanics. While some features like returning to base work well, overall optimization and mechanics require improvement to enhance player experience.

    • “Allowing players to drive from the main base to quests would enhance gameplay.”
    • “The mechanics, optimization, etc., are currently very problematic (let's just say it takes some time to get used to).”
    • “Basic gameplay loop is broken.”
    • “The pick-up mechanic feels clunky and repetitive, while the return to base feature functions well.”
    • “The mechanics, optimization, etc. are currently very problematic (let's just say it takes some time to get used to).”
  • story

    The story setup involves somewhat tedious mission-starting procedures, such as walking to NPCs and boarding ships, which can disrupt immersion. Allowing players to drive directly from the main base to quests could improve the overall gameplay experience.

    • “The way to start missions is kind of tedious: walking to NPC, calling for the ship, waiting for the airlock to close before leaving.”
  • graphics

    The graphics are generally considered decent but somewhat outdated, reminiscent of 2005-era visuals. Despite this, the game surprisingly demands a high GPU usage.

    • “The graphics are pretty good.”
  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, with clunky performance and inconsistent physics, including frequent issues with ramming damage not registering properly. This results in frustrating and unrealistic interactions during gameplay.

    • “The game is just so clunky, so poorly optimized; the physics is just like the tutorial, it doesn't exist. Ramming damage sometimes (like 50% of the time) doesn't register, and even if it does, a human being stops your truck like you rammed into a brick wall.”
  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game involves repetitive and time-consuming steps, such as walking to NPCs and waiting for ship departures, which some players find tedious but not overly problematic.
