If you want a fantastic zombie survival crafting game, this one's for you.

Do quests for the trader to get extra rewards. Dig to get better materials. Hop around houses for ♥♥♥♥♥ & giggles. All of the above is beneficial to surviving in it's own way, and for the team.

Every 7th day at 10pm, be ready to face the apocalypse with everything you've mustered before it. Bunker up & blast away every piece of ammunition you can find, because they won't stop until 4am (or you kill every last one).
This game is absolutely fantastic, and the devs have made it their passion to perfect the game. Their focus has been on gameplay for over 10 years. Not DLCs, not microtransactions, not other games for the purpose of other sales. Their focus has been primarily the gameplay for the amazing functionality of this game, to which I find a rare commodity & incredibly admirable. Usually I try to pick up games on sale, but to them? I say "shut up and take my money".

I hope you all enjoy the experience as much as I have & thanks for reading!

Game really needs more focus on Solo. With today's AI abilities there is no reason not to throw in a generated AI bot option with randomized decks & standard rewards, e.g. card creating materials, or every 3rd game you receive a random chest with a chance of gems, as an example.

Early Access Review
This game is an absolute masterpiece that only gets better after every massive content update. The only drawback of it is that you'll get incredibly addicted to it and fast, saying hello and goodbye to most real life necessities. Perfect for the hard-core longterm gamer looking to make a badass impenetrable base that had 1,000 hours of work put into it. There's always something to do, something to work on and it never gets boring. It stays challenging with some dinos being able to insta-kill you as it should be in any survival game.

Many people have complained about bugs not being fixed and other uncomfortable situations, however this game was technically in the alpha stage for more than two years while this was happening. In my personal opinion, it seems to me that the devs have really kicked up their game in bug/HUD fixes recently after releasing around a hundred seperate dinos with different characteristics/tamed abilities and are making the most epic long-term PC game any hard-core gamer could really ask for. It simply has everything, from meat gathering with your dino of choice, from raiding tactics of other bases to living on a metal motorboat with multiple structures on top. You can live entirely on land, in the ocean, on a boat, in a cave and the world of resources anywhere you choose is yours.

There have also been complaints to the latest bump up in the game's price, but in my opinion this is entirely justified. We bought this game in the dev's eyes mainly for WAY early game participation where there were maybe a little more than 15 dino variety on the entire map (which was singularly ONLY the island). In the beginning, the game's brightness and graphics settings were so poor that you could see nothing but white in the daytime and god help you seeing anything in the night time. We had to keep a torch in every box and hope our cursor went towards one in order to dash off and find our body that was beside some crazy fast ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who kept appearing out of nowhere(which we then realised was called a Carno, or as I like to call them "HAI GUYZ", little inside joke with the tribe). Anyway, to make a ramble short, we EARNED this game at this price with the poor quality and tests needed to be done with it. You're buying a game that's had nonstop hard-work, criticism and basically dev-bullying for around 4 years now so yeah, I'd say it's well worth it.

I've been on and off Ark and it truely never goes away. Best gaming ever from this long-term PC gamer. Hats off to yas Wildcard & family, you've made one hell of a survival experience.

I have to say after experiencing many other games of all kinds, in comparison this game has little to no content in ratio for the amount of money you pay for it.
It has too many parts to buy that don't really add anything relevant other than to empty what's left of your wallet for a shiny new character. The original game itself is not really worth €50 and the developers rarely have it on sale, because money money money with no updated content as usual.

It is a fun game for a while and you will be enveloped in it for short, but as you drone on in the battles you realise that the pvp aspect can be won due to cheap tricks and annoying "can't do anything against that" moves. the pve aspect is fantastic and a great plot idea, but price-to-content ratio leaves it lacking and short.

Overall I have to say I don't recommend it, rather try something else to get more hours out of.

Don't bother getting this game if you want something free. It's fun if you want to buy it, but it is not "free" as the game states. Their definition of "free" means you play a table one single time then get nerved into buying it until you finally find the escape button to get out of the game.

I find this game a bit better than even Duke Nukem 3D. Lo-Wang swings into action with his many, many guns (each with alternate firing capabilities, including a nuclear warhead) and goes against the forces of the evil Zilla corporation.

Fans of Duke Nukem 3D will love this game and I would recommend it any day of the week.

Great fun, great pvp & even great AI pve.

There are very little negative factors of this game. Not only is it a great "mech-style pvp fighting game" but it also has AI fighting and even an incredibly fun & challenging survival mode.

It lets you design & put together your own desired rig with certain helpful items equipped for personal aid/aid for allies or even for pure enemy confusion. As you play in any of the different types of searches, you earn resources to buy more things for your rig and you are even initially given 500 of the "only in-game buying" currency to pimp-up your rig with a fancy style. What more could you ask for in a mech fighting game?

Seems to me like this game is a bit childish. Not sure who the target audience is exactly but it's not for people aged 21+. There are better uses of time.
