What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the core concept but are heavily critical of the execution, particularly citing severe UI and readability issues including hard-to-read text, clipping problems, and poor visual hierarchy that make basic navigation frustrating. Beyond the presentation problems, reviewers report optimization issues, unintuitive controls, unclear crafting and item mechanics, and general bugginess that undermines what could be a solid small game experience.
Ima be real with you chiefs - there is some serious stank going on in this game. I know it's a school project, so I can't criticize it as though it's a commercial product. HOWEVER please fail the guy who designed the UI For some real constructive criticism, I think the game has serious readability issues (at a basic text level). The first thing players will interact with - the settings menu - needs some sort of separation from the rest of the UI. Even something like a basic drop shadow on the boxes and a stroke on the text would go a long way. The text on item descriptions clips out of its box and is wrapped... strangely. The other big thing that jumped out as an immediate fix would be to refrain from interpolating the camera when a player warps to a new area. I do want to give you guys props for making NPCs glide along the ground with no animations and teleport behind you to catch up, cause that's funny. Overall I figure this was just a one-off project that will soon be abandoned, but if whoever did the UI goes into real game design, may god rest our souls.4 found this helpful
The basic idea was nice, but in the game itself nothing works, not to mention the optimisation issues. It feels more like a student project, even though it’s free, it’s not worth it.1 found this helpful
So, I read the other reviews and thought, hey, it cant be as stinky as they are letting on. I was very soon humbled. I like the general idea of this game, there is some serious potential for a fun small experience here but it is incredibly unintuitive and clunky. The way the character is controlled needs some rethinking as well as the way text and UI is displayed. It is hard to read and at some point the UI just clips though objects and walls, paired with your choice of font and colour scheme for the text portions I need +10 lenses and DLSS on MAX to see correctly. The combat is ok, but I don't think eating is an option even after rebinding food does not work. Items are also very hard to find, I ran around the map area twice and still did not have enough of what I needed to craft all the quest craftables. Everything considered I have definitely played much worse and lowkey for being put up literally yesterday it for sure runs on my pc, but is not an enjoyable experience. Hopefully you all update this and I get to play a polished version, I'll be keeping an eye out. Until then, Godspeed Lads, I'm sending my hopes and prayers. You will need them1 found this helpful
RadSpire is a game that I think has a decent idea behind it, especially considering it is a free early access survival RPG. I am exploring a broken post apocalyptic world where futuristic technology and unstable magic have been mixed together, while gathering resources, crafting equipment and fighting enemies along the way. I like the general setting because it gives the game a little more personality than a completely standard post apocalyptic world. It also gives me a reason to explore rather than simply moving from one combat area to another. The exploration is probably what I enjoyed the most. I can travel around different areas, collect raw materials and gradually work out what I need to survive. The crafting system has several stages to it, including processing ore into bars and then turning those materials into things like swords, shields and armour. I like having to actually work through the resources instead of simply finding a better weapon lying around. There are also structures and storage that I can build, which gives the survival side a bit more purpose. Combat is fairly straightforward, but it does the job. I am fighting monsters while trying to progress through qu…
Umm, I can't play the game...I hit "play" and the game just popped up as a very small box in the top left of my screen....soooo I couldn't see much less read anything....so I couldn't play
this game is ....... something. I dont know what it is but its not sure either.
