    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An interesting concept. But totally awful realization. All your actions are taxed on several levels. And since playerbase is declining trade even in trade hubs is very slow/quite horrible. And trade is the only way you can earn some buck here w/o investiing thousands of dollars. Outright bad chat/trade systems plus casino system instead of loot. World is dynamic means they change whats good and bad every so often. Most of game information is outdated/ and or deceptive. Despite that game is addictive, but not on good side of it. Really, there are way better games out there that will provide more fun for less money Expand

    Unfortunately they would not allow me to login. I downloaded the entire game and it said my account was locked. Support said I was masking my identity. No other online games have given me issues on logging in.

Bottomline: stay away if you value your time (& money). Expand

    Difficult to maneuver in (movement keys/options), not similar to other games. Lost interest even before I got to the point where they started asking for money. Graphics and character creation are good! Sorry, make it a little simpler. I'm a gamer and got buried in the complicated interface.

    Gambling site, plain and simple - every PED you spend has a tiny chance to 'hit the jackpot' (global, HoF). With the exception of the auction which is conducting business with other players, the other activities, hunting, mining and crafting - virtual slots, nothing more. US Atty General needs to ban it.

    Entropia Universe is a MMORPG available on the PC platform. It uses some of the most outdated and worst game mechanics that most modern MMORPG games have abandoned.

    The biggest issue with this is the game is designed in a way that disallows you from being self sufficient. The game has "jobs" and missions you can take on to progress in game, but the amount of loot you find or is dropped is never enough to actually support you. You will never be rewarded money or find it laying around.

    In order to play this game, you WILL have to spend money, I spent some time trying to farm some monsters, just out of the newbie zone; the rewards VS work ratio is terrible. The game developers even stated the game was designed to cost $2.00 an hour or so to play.

    Garbage game, garbage game mechanics, outdated style and game play and terrible real currency conversion system, stay away from this at all costs.

    This is not a game, this is not a virtual universe, this a scam. No matter how much time and money you spend, no matter what you do, you will always lose money. You spend $10, you get $5 back. You spend $100, you get $50 back. You spend $1000, you get $500 back. Skills don't matter, equipment doesn't matter, all that matters is you MUST get lucky to break even or profit slightly.

    If you want to sit in the auction all day, make the game more expensive for other players, pay a ton of fees and make a couple cents per hour, go for it. Everything else is just too expensive unless you can afford to dump thousands of dollars monthly into this random number generator engineered to be as addictive and expensive as possible.

    The saddest thing is, this would be a really good game if the balancing team cared about the players having a shot at some sort of progression if they play their cards right. However, all they care about is revenue. It doesn't matter at all how you play, the returns are rigged against you no matter what.

    This game is horribly bad and I will give the reasons why.

    First of all, the game makes you check your inventory by pressing "I" then equipping a tool. The labeling of the tool makes you think that it's a weapon so when you go to try to fire the weapon, you just get a bunch of errors such as "No target selected". Second of all, when you do figure out how to equip a weapon, you have

    First of all, the game makes you check your inventory by pressing "I" then equipping a tool. The labeling of the tool makes you think that it's a weapon so when you go to try to fire the weapon, you just get a bunch of errors such as "No target selected".

    Second of all, when you do figure out how to equip a weapon, you have basically enough ammunition to take out 3 mobs and you're basically done. You have no other way to defend yourself. You can't even melee the ram that is bashing you.

    Third of all, the shooting mode in the game is extremely clumpsy and full of bugs. On my computer, when I go into firing mode, there is no firing bulls-eye that pops up UNLESS I go into first person mode. But wait there is more! When in firing mode in first person mode, the bulls-eye can only be moved by holding down the right mouse button and moving your person as opposed to the standard FPS method. But I'm not done yet! The game gets even worse because the same button you use to fire, is also the same button you use to check info so every time you fire you get the info box blocking your cursor. You have to move that info box out of the way to even fire or else you will just go into the info screen which blocks up a great percent of your window.

    This game is horrible. Stay away from it.

    They locked my account for sending a help message about not spending money to get ammo. They are a greedy company just trying to steal your money. Don't believe what some people say about making money off the game, you're going to have to put down some serious cash to even get started. Not to mention the horrible rng based system's everywhere.

Takes your time, money and patience from you and all you will have left is broken hopes and money that could have been spent on something more valuable in life, like a Gym membership. ANYONE THINKING THEY CAN MAKE MONEY IN THIS GAME FROM A SMALL DEPOSIT IS CRAZY. STAY AWAY!!! MINDARK the games owners introduce little bugs and glitches that make you have constant lag spikes and disconnects. These will kill you....making you respawn and allowing the mob to regenerate which then takes more ammo (ped) to kill. Please Just stay away. I have left feeling scammed and unappreciated after I supported the company these past years. Most of my friends in game have left too. Expand

    One of the worst games I have tried during quarantine. If you cannot deposit during these hard times there is no fun to be had here. You will run out of initial funds doing any action and nothing is sustainable.

In other words once you have been hacked and or stumbled into a PvP zone and were killed and they can loot most of your items may be gone and irreplaceable. To the point that if you have been hacked and they have emptied your account, they go hey wow that looks suspicious and lock your account AFTER. Than you get to spend days if not weeks working thru to unlock by proving your identity to their Support team that still does nothing they do not freeze your transactions nor send you an email about it either. There are no reports on where your items went ( ie.. transaction logs for you to look at) etc etc. Oh also forgot they can sometimes get your things back but costs 1000 PED (100 US dollars). This all happened as well during their IPO / changeover from the inworld Calypso land deeds change to a 'shares' time as well. Makes me wonder if it was an inside job.

    You need to really be careful getting into this game and be prepared for the worse in terms of losing your time and investment. I am glad and saddened to have had this happen after so long and finding how awful their Support is. I never set it up to be connected to my bank or Credit cards.
