    Those who don’t want to pay to try something that’s almost finished and/or planned as an eventual free-to-play game might want to wait for the final product in 2018. Those who are curious enough and willing to pay the price of admission now might want to bring a trusted buddy along for the ride since it’s one of those repetitive games that’s instantly better with familiar company.

    It’s a paid beta, though (which is iffy in itself in some ways), and so there’s lots of room and time for improvement. It’s just a shame that a game with such polished shooting and looting is bogged down by such clunky menus, tangled systems and tiresome mechanics. We’ll re-examine Fortnite as and when the big changes come, but for now it’s a lot of fun, once you’re comfortable with how it all works.

    10/10 if you are looking to spend 40-60$ for the game and then $100 a week.
    I assume this will be f2p come January. This    Pay to Pay to win.

    I assume this will be f2p come January. This game literally revolves around buying in game loot packs.    … Full Review »

    Short: Save your money!

    This game has Potential but it is not used due to ignorant developers. The main parte of the game is grinding, but    Short: Save your money!

    This game has Potential but it is not used due to ignorant developers. The main parte of the game is grinding, but this grinding doesn't lead to any schematics. Husks or zombies dont drop anything. Only way to get forward in this game is by farming llamas.

    I bought the deluxe founders pack and opened around 150 llamas so far. Not one Single legendary hero and/or weapon. This is redicilous.

    If they implement drop rates with the husks, then this game can get a good one. But like this is is Really up to you,, to spend Hundes of Dollars to get forward. It is really a pure pay2win (-progress) title.

    I can't recommend this game and the behavior of the developers is forcing me to write my first review. I used the feedback button many times,I can't recommend this game and the behavior of the developers is forcing me to write my first review. I used the feedback button many times, I adressed directly on twitter, I wrote on Facebook and I wrote an email to the supporters. But they just don't care. All they want to hear are positive news about their game. There is no will in improving or making better.

    I bought the Founders Edition deluxe, with a copy for my daughter. So I spent 90 € on this game. And first, especially if you see videos everything is so exciting and new. The gameplay is smooth, the characters are fine, the loot is overwhelming (at first).

    But if you are into the game for a few hours, you recognize it is a big cash maschine. The only way to loot and lvl your gear up is through llamas. And the normal llamas, as well as the rare llamas are containing a lot of trash.

    I opened, thanks to the Founders deluxe editions hundres of llamas. So far not one single legendary character or weapon. Just normal stuff.

    The biggest problem of this game is, that there is no sense in doing all that. The zombies don't drop loot. The treasures in the world are only for the next games, no chance to find any schematics. You do the same over and over again for nothing. This game is, with this state of play, a total waste of time and money.

    They just want, you put more and more money into that game for a really boring early access. I played hundreds of games in my life. But this game so far is the first game I regret spending money on.

    The behavior and the goals of the developers are really something you should be aware of!    … Full Review »
