    Solid MMO Action RPG. The best aspects are its big map, evolution, crafting, coop and apocalyptic feel, the worst things are gamepad controls, graphic textures & monotonous quest.

    What Shattered Skies does well, it does really well. The environment is beautiful, combat is responsive, fast and exhilarating, graphically the game is satisfying and feels well optimised.

    Shattered Skies it's a good and exciting experience with a lot of hours of game with other people inside.

    With Shattered Skies, Free Reign Entertainment is trying to gain back its fans' respect. Many players went crazy after seeing how the developers worked on WarZ. Shattered Skies has no micro-transactions, no P2W dynamics and no cheaters at all. Let's see if things will be the same in a couple of months.

    While offering a set of promises that would make any trigger-happy PVP addict excited, Shattered Skies fails to deliver a reason to keep coming back. While the concept sounds fun, the execution thus far has yielded a relatively lifeless world with a by-now stagnating population. Time will tell if the developers can shape their game into something more engaging post-launch.

    Shattered Skies commits a crime much worse than simply being a bad game; it’s dull. It’s also uninteresting, static, and barren.

    This survival has a solid base and an interesting concept which differ from the zombie survivals that we are used to. However, there are a lot of technical issues that have a negative impact on the gameplay, to the point of making it unplayable.

    An average game that does what it does well, however a price tag way too high, low populated servers and annoying enemies means I can not in good conscience recommend this to anyone. Avoid this game.

    Developer with bad track record wants you to pay big for uninspiring loot-em-up. Choices is yours. [Issue#254, p.61]

    Given the number and diversity of titles in the survival sandbox genre, there is little reason to explore the world of Shattered Skies and plenty reason to give it a miss.

    Theres not much to be said other then this title is as polished as a turd will ever get.

    Blatant cash grab

    Artemis Knives **** of an ego and Sergey's misleading conduct shouldn't surprise anyone here and this game should be relegated to the cesspit where it belongs.

    Corrupt sales practices grouped with a just as shameful refund policy means people are being ripped off.

    Beware of their next venture Last Man Standing.

    Shattered Skies Developer Free Reign Entertainment under CEO Sergey Titov Arktos Entertainment Group. Mr Titov should be recognisable for theShattered Skies Developer Free Reign Entertainment under CEO Sergey Titov Arktos Entertainment Group. Mr Titov should be recognisable for the complete and utter failure of WarZ and its off spring. Mr Titov now bring us his new game, Shattered Skies (he`s not got a great part to play in it).

    Learning from previous mistakes, Mr Titov has learnt that micro transactions would not be a clever way to go. You could milk that cash cow for a number of months but wouldn`t that be silly. This time it`s different. Now you can buy the starter edition £21.99, the Gold £31.99, Platinum £51.99 or top dog the ULTIMATE edition for a measly £72.99.

    Whats that I hear you say, not P2W, well how it works is you buy the starter, meaning you start at level1 you can only use level 1 weapons and armour. You can gain experince points to increase your level by killing Zomb..... Aliens (sorry wrong game) or players. But why waste time on all that jazz when you can buy the ultimate and have access straight away to the more powerful level guns and armour because the other editions, Gold/Plat/Ultimate give you increased experience.

    The game was promoted by Serey Titov "With that said I am proud to present to you Shattered Skies - an open world Looter Shooter sandbox survival game with NO monetization/microtransactions." But change that to the present and its now "hard core PVP looter with no survival or PVE elements". The fanboy and devs would like you to believe that there are no survival aspects in the game. Clearly they don`t know what survival means. You have to eat and drink in the game, collecting these resources from searching to survive. You have to also survive attacks from higher level players who at level one don`t stand a chance against. SURVIVAL is the core element in the game.

    If you have questions or criitcize any elements of the game/company/devs/Sergey you get banned or worse. Steam.Valve seem to be oblivious to the concerns of the paying consumer. The Dev's believe that past problems should not be mentioned and swept under the rug. The paying customers that fell for the lies and scam of WarZ don`t forget though. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. These people have been given enough chances but a fourth chance, no way.

    If you`ve played WarZ, Infestation: Survivor Stories, Romero`s aftermath expect the same poor graphics, gameplay, dev`s who don`t care and poor excuse for a game then don`t buy it. If you do like these games and don`t mind giving your money to a scrupulous,shady shill dealing company, good luck to you. I can`t imagine this game being around much longer.

    Thank you

    PVP is hard couse mostly need 20-30.
