Watch the “offline” mode be buggy as hell just like Conan… In Conan the NPC Thralls would constantly sink below the ground or glitch in other ways.
Also leaving any area would just respawn all the enemies right away making it hard to even move through places because everything respawned so quickly.
Just lazy nonsense from a shitty ass dev team.
Good shit. Haven’t tried this yet but it’s a great move. Even if they take servers offline you can still enjoy it. Wish more devs did this. Might go ahead and pick this up.
Is this something you want to play as single player?
A lot of people prefer to at least have the option of offline singleplayer.
ETA: especially considering when this launched it was an online-/multiplayer-only game, I’m definitely happy to get to explore without the possibility of toxic players.
there are some things that are more difficult solo, but most of the game plays just fine.
Server population is so low that I had no choice for the 50 hours or so I played. Even after they merged servers I think I only ever caught a glimpse of someone once.
Given its survival and PVE angle, it’s fine to play solo - at least that was my experience of the early game.
Is it a good game?
I played it primarily solo and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I’m a gigantic Dune fan and of these types of games. It has some interesting mechanics, a well crafted world, does a few unique things and has a good progression system. The base building also has enough freedom and depth that it felt like a fun creative outlet.
Pretty much what the other poster said, but wanted to add it feels like Dune while playing through the story.
Never got to the highest tier but like t5 (unless they added more? But basically 1 below end tier).
It’s a survival game with Dune mechanics. Actually the story wasn’t too bad either.
Ended up on a server that was taken offline so just gathered up crap and moved but never logged in after. I spent over 60hours still on it, but I play slow. Never actually interacted with anyone else except a bit of the auction house.
T6 is stuff from the Deep Desert and end-game dungeons.
T5 is duralanium (aluminum + jasmium ally), the best you can get from Hagga Basin.
Yup sounds right, only played in the basin. Had zero interest in PvP. Even avoided crash sites till I had no other choice, then they were empty anyways heh.
I’m much more inclined to grab this now… it’ll still be on a sale… but there is definitely a market for taking games like this offline
yawn
