Obviously it’s a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It’s meme’d as “Pokemon with Guns”, but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.
Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?
If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?
My view is in the comments…
Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We’re off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It’s also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games…
The killer feature for you as a survival game is allowing your monsters to do work for you. It really cuts out the tedium that a lot of other survival games like valheim suffer from.
The last 4 days I’ve played have been me trying to get pals optimized into actual automation. It’s a new type of tedium of trying to get things running smoothly.
They kind of overplayed the amount of automation you could do, I feel. Some of the trailers are very misleading in this regard. One video shows lines of Cattiva carrying ingots from behind a forge, but they won’t pull from a forge AFAIK. So it appears they dropped a stack to let the cats carry to a chest in the semblance of a bucket brigade.
A lot of my work in fixing my bases is getting them working the jobs they’re best at. Anubis is my tier 4 crafter? Well he’s busy carrying berries.
Still enjoy it though. I wish I had a Digimon game like it.
