    Uhh, early access, just no.

    Anything under 100 hrs isn't worth the time to download.

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    First of all Worth is a pretty subjective word , for some folks money has very different value and worth ..

       As in all EA titles , some think its WORTH supporting an specific Indie or project ..

        Some think its WORTH the time to be involved in development .. ( This indie is gathering data form all players involved in EA)
       
      A fan of a specific IP may think its WORTH the support

      Much like you , yourself supported FO76 , which many think was not WORTH it ..

             The campaign is short .. the Conquest mode is near endless with many players booking over the 100 hours you consider WORTH..

     I will add that i have backed many EA games suggested many here in EA that have gone on  to do well ..

      But  also we all know by now ( common sense) DO not buy EA unless you want to be involved in development and/or want to support a specific Dev/project..

      Your one liner and cherry picking of reviews , really have NO WORTH to this discussion IMO , as you did not do your research , which one should do before any purchase that they are weighing its WORTH

    Roguelite is those games that get harder and harder right ? I like those like Darkest Dungeon but not ones where insane traps fling from every pore ready to impale and kill me for one misstep.

    I can spend hours in games some people finish in 10 hours so amount of content is very subjective for me. I am one of those people that can spend hours exploring. I stretch content like chewing gum no problem there with actual number of hours. 

    A game can be 8 hours long but provides oodles more fun than one with 40 hours to its length. If you explore and have places to find things it can simply be loads of fun.

    I been asking for a very long time for someone to step up and do the card idea in a real rpg setting so i guess this is it.
    The only issue i would have is depth and i am not getting into any more card buying in games..EVER again.
    If these cards are EARNED and not bought and there is more to the game than appearing like a Dark Souls game,i might give it a try.

    How many cherries must one pick to prove their point?

    "The price tag for it's current rendition as others have stated is far too high. Due to it's Pre Alpha/Demo State."

    ”Definitely a lot of work to be done here though.”
     
    ”Could this game be fun eventually? Yes. Is it worth even looking at right now? No.”
     
    "Even for Early Access this game is twice the price it should be, so I strongly recommend passing on the game. Not much was improved in the half year since backers first got to lay hands on it so I'm not enthusiastic, but let's talk again when it comes out of early access anyway, yeah?"

    I'm on a crusade to kill the concept of early access which can't DIAF soon enough.

    For every good EA title there are a hundred crap ones, gaming would be much better off without them.

    How about one more for the road?

    "The game is absoutely not worth $25; Not in its current state, not by a long shot. It's "pre-release demo" quality. Both the campaign and conquest modes are short, simplistic, unoptimized, and unbalanced.”

    IMO you do others a disservice promoting such games so expect future opposition.

    Enuff said.

    One can always pick overly positive posts for every game.  I focus on what matters most to me, complete, well made games with huge logevity, as I said 100 hours or more.

    I found plenty of evidence even from the highly recommend posts which well demonstrate this game doesn't meet the above standards and I'm not one to believe it ever will be until it actually releases.

    Its OK, I understand many people play early access aka bad games, my role is to try and prevent others from making similar mistakes.

    Is that only the case for you when it's officially labeled "early access" or does it also apply when a game is "launched" as an unfinished buggy mess like FO76? :)

    From reading the recent reviews and comments this game is the polar opposite of Valheim in terms of polish, play times by almost all commentators are rounding errors compared to most other games.
