  • gameplay62 mentions

    The gameplay of this game is a mixed bag, with some players praising its engaging mechanics and open-ended design, while others criticize its clunky controls and AI issues. Many appreciate the depth and variety of gameplay elements, such as city building and combat, but note that the execution can feel shallow or unfinished. Overall, it offers a unique blend of mechanics that can be enjoyable, especially for those willing to overlook its graphical shortcomings and initial learning curve.

    • “While all the mechanics in this game are relatively straightforward and are something you can figure out on your own to an extent, the implications of those mechanics and how they interact with you and other mechanics is what really causes this game to be something special.”
    • “The gameplay here is starting to flesh out, though there's not much to do other than grow an empire.”
    • “This game is a neat little gem that combines quite a few interesting mechanics and systems from other games and breeds them to create a fun, play-your-own-way voxel sandbox.”
    • “This game has terrible mechanics, is unproportional when it comes to AI and how overpowered they are, and all in all is a bad game.”
    • “The gameplay, on the other hand, is extremely bare bones; gunplay is shoot until they're dead, and the AI is the biggest flaw of the game by far.”
    • “Enemy AI has extreme vision and pretty much aimbot since they never miss a shot; the second they see you (and it will always be before you see them), they will bumrush you, which just exaggerates the already horrible shooting mechanics.”
  • story50 mentions

    The story of Voxel Turf revolves around a mercenary navigating a chaotic, faction-controlled city, engaging in a variety of missions ranging from crime to city building.

The game offers a mix of linear storytelling through quests and sandbox freedom, allowing for extensive customization and replayability.

    • “Voxel Turf is a game where you control a mercenary doing missions for rich lunatics to poor lunatics in a semi-anarchistic city surrounded by bandits and controlled by many different factions, of which you are one.”
    • “I absolutely adore the freedom given in the game while also having an element of linear stories due to the quests you're able to accept.”
    • “The missions are simple, but manage to be fun due to how they adapt to the city, making them pretty varied, even if we talk about the rescue missions.”
    • “The AI is this game's greatest weakness, and its combat exemplifies that to such a degree you'll be rage quitting since you failed a mission because some bandit 1km away spots you and starts raining hellfire with an SMG, killing you while you already have 10 HP from fighting all the other cracked-out, seemingly Green Beret special forces enemy AI at the hardware store.”
    • “Then I played missions, but that seemed too shallow.”
    • “Built-in missions can be repetitive and exploitable.”
  • graphics35 mentions

    • “The general art style is disappointing to be honest, and that's hard to say because the actual gameplay is great.”

    • “- no effort has been put into any aesthetic detail in this game, the only evidence you need is to look at the basically unanimated rectangle men that occupy the city and the out of place vehicles they ride around in.”
  • optimization10 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is praised for its solid performance and the effective use of techniques that enhance the experience, allowing for a richly detailed environment.

Regular updates have significantly improved optimization, but individual server conditions can still impact performance.

    • “I remember when the streets of Sim City boasted being able to drive in your city, but this is much more fleshed out and takes advantage of a ton of optimization techniques that allow you to have lots of fully explorable buildings in one area.”
    • “Sure, you may not have come for a miniguide, but it's to tell you about how most of the game is wonderfully optimized by this point, because the updates helped quite a lot.”
    • “What led me to buy this game was the fact that the developer took his time to develop proper optimization updates for this game.”

    • “-could use with better performance I think.”
