This is my first review, and honestly this game isnt bad at all. Its a survival game basically like rust, with the building, crafting, etc. It has a ton of potential in my opinion, and thats why im making this review. I would love to see this game get more popular over time. After some changes and updates, this game will be on a comparable level with rust, just needs to have a player base to support it. $20 is a decent amount to spend on a newer game, but everyone has to start from somewhere. The game includes simple surviving mechanics as of right now, like hunger/thirst, along with your health bar of course. It also has a stamina meter for your sprinting. Not sure if these will be updated in the future to include more in depth system, like scum. You can mine stones and iron ore as of right now, I'm sure there may be more added later. Building and crafting uses the same concept as the rust mechanics, so wood is the cheapest/weakest while you can gradually upgrade as long as you have the materials. There's a lot of customization for it to be an early access game just released. The enemies so far are pretty scarce, but i haven't really gone that far to explore yet. I've ran into a …

This is a really good upcoming survival game that some people will get hooked. this is a 10/10 and not that the dev is my friend, but of how this game could have potential of being a really good survival game. the enemies are really luck-wise to find, and theres so much items in the game that you can do a lot in the world that is huge. can't wait for this game to blow up!

During my play in Desperation, I had a enjoyable time. With random funny moments with friends & quick responses from the developer. Even thou the game is in Early Access, there is potential for the games vision to take it far. As of now, the bare bone concept is fun & I can't wait to see what we have in stored for us. I'll try my best to update my review as often as I see fit. ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭ Please make sure to support the singular creator on his future developments! I hope to see you all in game!~ (。^▽^)
