Hi All,

Haven't seen a thread on this game, still in alpha at the moment. However, got myself an alpha key and it is awesome!

Keep an eye on this

Been watching some streamers play it. Seems good, max 2 players, yes?

looks that way, played a few games last night and each match I only had 1 team mate. Was not fun though playing like that, my team mates never revived me.

I reckon you need to organise a key so we can kill some zombies/monsters and stuffs!

Yeah been keeping my eyes on this one from the start, looks like tons of fun. Just not sure how many hours of fun one'd be able to get out of it though, unless they planning on releasing other maps as the game progresses.

Well so far from what I have seen, the map is huge!

Also it is not just hunting bounties, in my first game last night me and this random managed to kill "the butcher" (This guy was scary af!) I used all of my ammo and so did the random, while we were waiting for the bounty to "charge up" the other team popped out of nowhere and wiped us and stole it haha so there are many angles to the game.

I've watched many hours of people steaming the game, so completely understand how it all works, just saying it might get boring much faster than your average game.

Not that it matters as I still want to play it, need something new to throw into the mix and spice things up a bit.

Ah ok then you probably know a lot more than I do. I couldn't even figure out how to use my med kits ;/

I tried it briefly, I was so hyped from that initial developer preview they showed I could not wait to get into it. I was like a child on Xmas waiting for the download to finish.

Getting into my first game was a lot like having sex for the first time, it was clouded by expectations, I couldn't figure anything out and it was over way to soon. I have however seen a couple of vids and understand the game better now, so I tried it again. The major problems I have with this game is the same I felt the first time, its SLOW as balls, looks like crap (in my opinion) and nothing like the initial dev preview. All the streamers and youtubers make the game seem extremely tense and dangerous, when in reality you pretty much run to the clue, get it, move to the next area and repeat. You load up ammo before fighting the boss and kill him as soon as you can.

I played 6 games, 5 I extracted without an issue and once I got killed by players, in those 6 games the game already got boring because even though its different locations each time, the boss battle pretty much goes the same. The tea size of 2 also is a bit silly as we are 3 people that wanted to check it out, but alas, i'm not really into it anymore and that disappoints me a lot more than I wanted. I was stupidly hyped for this

Anyone playing this?
Want to get some locals to play with.

Most of the games are awesome. When things get a little heated and all groups start fighting near the boss the ping sometimes gets in the way. But otherwise i am really enjoying the experience.

Its not something i sit and play for hours on end. But its definitely my new go to game if i have 30 minutes to kill.
